At the southwest entry, it has been suggested that an "information posting <br />station" be incorporated. Staff has had discussions with Dr. Alfredo Di Costanzo of the <br />University of Minnesota's Department of Animal Science regarding his interest in <br />providing park users with information about the adjacent fields and livestock. Staff is <br />requesting authorization to proceed with developing a schematic design and cost <br />estimates using 10 to 15 hours of a landscape architect's expertise. <br />Councilmember Hustad moved authorization to proceed with the design of improvements <br />to Community Park's entrances and the cooperative information posting project with the <br />University of Minnesota, including use of 10 to 15 hours of landscape architect <br />expertise.
