• FALCON HEIGHTS CITY COUNCIL MINUTES _4_ December 8, 2004 Agreement to Overate a Program of Public Recreation and Playgrounds Administrator Worthington said that in the early 1990's, the City entered into an agreement with the Roseville Area Schools/ISD 623, to partner with the Falcon Heights Elementary School to install new playground equipment and provide basketball courts and other recreation amenities. In 2004, the City and the School District entered into talks on how to write an agreement that was up to date and covered both recreational opportunities, equipment, and amenities that are on the grounds at Falcon Heights Elementary School. This process was begun because all known previous agreements had expired. As discussions started, it was identified that the School wanted to replace their existing playground and the City wanted to add a hockey rink. It was on this basis that a new draft agreement was negotiated between the City and the School District. The finalized draft is recommended for approval by both City staff and District staff to their respective governing bodies. The agreement puts in one document all amenities and outdoor recreational opportunities that are available on the property for use by both the School and residents of Falcon Heights. Exhibit B will be added once the PTSA at Falcon Heights Elementary School determines what playground equipment will be installed this spring. • A brief discussion followed. Kuettel moved approval of the Agreement to Operate a Program of Public Recreation and Playgrounds at the Falcon Heights Elementary School, 1393 Garden Avenue. The motion was unanimously approved. Consideration of including written yetitions as an accevtable farm of input on the topic of solid waste collection Mayor Gehrz said a resident has requested clarification of whether signed petitions will be included in the report of public input on the Solid Waste Collection issue. The rules that the Council adopted at the October 13 Council meeting require that comments be written, include the person's name and address, and be received at City Hall by letter, fax, or Email by 4:30 on December 17. (This was later extended to December 30.) Signed petitions that include the person's name and address would satisfy the requirements of those rules. One of the "Important Tips" for providing input that was added to the information piece mailed to our residents has caused some confusion regarding petitions. It states the following: Your comment must come directly from you to the City. We will not accept comments delivered through a third party. She believes that the intent of this was not to exclude petitions as a form of written input. It was intended to address the issue of people claiming to be representing opinions of other residents • without written verification of that representation. 13
