• <br />LIONS TREE SALE <br />We agreed that the Lions do slot for the city and that they could continue <br />to sell trees in December. We decided not to seed the hockey rink until <br />spring so that this effort would not be wasted by having new sod trampled <br />on and then skated on. <br />COFFMAN SURVEY <br />Carol distributed the survey from the Coffman residents. One of the <br />things highly requested for the Grove park is a horseshoe pit. We all <br />agreed that it was an inexpensive item and should be pursued immediately. <br />DEVELOPMENT - OUTDOOR RECREATION GRANT APPLICATION <br />Carol and Sue Gehrz went to the MN Dept. of Trade and Economic Development <br />to pursue a grant application. Originally there were 6 projects in the <br />application. They recommended that the grant be rewritten to include <br />all the improvements at Idaho and Snelling for a (tentative) $92,000 <br />total. Carol is going to recheck prices (no surprises!). Their priorities <br />for granting money are based on numbers of facilities included, the overall <br />• design element and the public participation process. These monies are <br />a 1:1 match. They felt that this combination of projects at Idaho and <br />Snelling had the greatest chance of being funded. We felt, therefore, <br />that we should wait to make improvements at Idaho/Sne_lling park until <br />after the November grant notification deadline. In this way we had a <br />better chance of getting the whole package funded. <br />OTHER BUSINESS <br />Carol passed out Fark and Rec budgets and requested that we look them <br />over before the next meeting. <br />Connie mentioned that the Red Ribbon Campaign for a Drug Free America <br />was going great guns and we should look at our calendars for October <br />to help out. <br />Connie also mentioned that we are still not receiving the agendas for <br />the City Council meetings. <br />As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:45 P.M. <br />• <br />
