Mike provided the program for this day. He updated us on the work done by the Friends of Zippel. The group's goal is to secure funding to enhance the park facilities so there is economic gain to the local economy and better quality of life for local residents.
The park received a grant to updgrade the harbor area. Electricity will be installed in some areas of the park.
Using the 1985 park plan as a guide the Friends of Zippel have created a plan for further improvements to the park by applying for a legacy funds grant.
Some of the improvements included in the plan are:
Upgrade of road to two lanes
Install Electricity into Anglers Campground and improve access for RV's. Install electric pump for water. A new host site will be installed.
Install five camper cabins
Create additional parking near harbor
Increase miles of trails within the park for skiing, hiking, biking, etc.
Increase the use of signage for education
Join the Chamber of Commerce
Construct a 40-60 unit campground near the harbor - with electricity and water.
Install board walk over march to beach
Place three boat access camping sites along beach and bay access
Protect the grave site near the harbor
Improve the site of the flowing well near beach - with benches
Brush mow the are in front of Lake View Campground
Internet access at park in areas
Make the park horse friendly with a trail system and parking options
Playground equipment at the beach
The Friends of Zippel would like to accomplish these things in the next five years. Plans have been shared with county board and chamber of commerce.

The Digital Changes at the Baudette Grand Theater - Jason Breuer
The film industry is moving to digital. Our reel to reel film projector will be obsolete. We can not modify it for digital projection. This change will happen in about a year. We are already feeling the pinch of new films coming out as they have already started to make more limited copies of film. It is more efficient for the film industry to distribute movies in this way.
How we finance this, projector, hard drive, network and sound system upgrades. We are looking at $75,000.
Letters have gone out to local businesses, information the newspaper. Looking to continue the purchase a seat program at $1,000 per seat. Looking for 75 people or organizations to target for this program. Some of the money saved by the theater industry will be packaged into programs to help theaters with this change, but our theater may not qualify for these programs.
Originally the theater was a community project to give local kids in the community a healthy activity.
If we can get this upgrade, we would only be able to run older films and access to even these old films would be limited.
The third option would be to close the theater in Baudette.
The owner in Wadena said it was a cost of about $100,000 to upgrade one of their screens.
Phil T. had a suggestion of a region 2 arts grant and to check into if they would be interested in this project.
Jason mentioned that the board has discussed if there would be a benefit to partner with theaters in the region and purchase the projection systems in bulk.
We also need to focus on getting attendance up at the theater. According to the recent census data our area had a 10% population rate drop.
Should we provide transportation from Warroad? Should we provide more early show times for the seniors in the community.
Another idea mentioned was how a restaurant gives out a free ticket to the movie.
