these organizations are currently deciding on how they will spend their budgets. He also stated that he thought it was better to present a "wish list" to an organization, rather than ask for one specific item. That way the people could select what most interested them. 5. Torch Run Due to mileage and time constraints Carol submitted an altered race route for the torch run on July 4. A number of council members had suggested it would be best to go through residential areas. The new route has us getting the torch at Roselawn and Snelling, it would go south on Snelling to Garden, East to Albert, South to Hoyt the West on Hoyt back to Snelling, where it would be taken into St. Paul. This is about 1.5 miles. Carol staid she would probably need help painting marks on the streets. Every 1 /4 mile needed to be indicated along the route. Volunteers have already been identified to help out with the torch run through the city. Carol said she would also need volunteers to man the route to help direct the runner and his or her entourage. 6. Bike Safety Rodeo The rodeo is set for Falcon Heights Elementary School on May 5. Carol said it would essentially be the same as last year, with a presentation by a police officer, a film on bike safety, introduction of the bike patrol, and stations to practice various bike riding rules. Refreshments would also be offered. Carol asked for as many volunteers as possible, who could be trained the day before the event to make the morning of the 5th easier. Connie said she and her husband would help. Sam said he would talk to the Lions to see if they could help again. 7. Summer Programs The summer program brochures have been distributed to all the local schools. Everyone agreed they looked really good this year. Additions include a fire prevention seminar at the fire station and a variety of special events to be held at the new community building at the Community Park. 8. Garden Park Sam asked about why we couldn't renew the lease at Garden Park, since the Park Plan included this in its design. Carol said the University did not make renewal of the lease for that property an option. We reviewed the history of that plot of land. 9. Insurance Sam asked about the price of insurance for the old park building and wondered why it seemed underinsured. We all agreed that the issue of replacement insurance should be examined, in light of our putting in a $290,000 + building. Carol said she would consult with Jan about the issue of insurance, and Sam indicated that he thought it was something for the city council to consider. 10. As no further business was at hand, the meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Linda McLoon
