Councilmember Kuettel asked that the addition of closing and locking the windows be made to the checklist given out to the renters. She also asked for the addition of a reminder to shut off the ceiling fans m the park building. Councilmember Talbot asked about the availability of restrooms for the renters of the lower and upper picnic areas. Supervisor Anderson replied that the satellites are available throughout most of the year. Parks and Public Works Director Hoag also stated during the skating season, when the satellites are not in operation, the Park Building is almost always open and restrooms are available there. Councihnember Talbot then asked about the $25 set-up/tear-down fee, and whether this covered the costs of the City. Hoag replied the $25 covers one hour of work time for staff, and while this is not often requested, having coverage for at least one hour helps with recovering the costs. Councilmember Lindstrom asked about the possibility of adding the Lions to the priority list as they sell trees during the holiday season. Anderson replied that the Lions are on the list for Community Park. Administrator Worthington added that the Lions use of the park for Tree Sales was memorialized by the Council previously, and a paragraph will be added to the policy to reflect this. Mayor Gehrz noted that the money the Lions raise by the sales comes back to Falcon Heights and Lauderdale through donations the Lions make to the cities. She asked what the process would be when someone with a permit goes to the park, and someone else is using the park without a reservation. Anderson replied that there has been discussion about putting up signs at the parks and having City Hall contact information on the permit. • Councilmember Kuettel also requested that on the permit there be anon-emergency police phone number for use outside of City Hall office hours. Councihnember Talbot then asked about the limitations for reserving the facilities or fields. He asked about flexibility with the current 4-event-per-month policy, and wanted to know whether the City would stray from that restriction. Anderson replied that whether or not the City would be flexible depends on the purpose of the group and whether they would be requesting use during peak hours. Mayor Gehrz noted that Falcon Heights staff did research on neighboring city fees in order to craft this fee structure. \ Councilmember Kuettel made a motion to adopt the city field fee structure, with amendments on adding ceiling fan and windows to the renter checklist, the Lions amendment, and anon- emergency police number to the permits. The motion was unanimously approved. 2.
