asset to the social. His music and energy will be great for the kids. Anderson is also working on some fall programs. Nigel Kojic will be returning to teach Acrylic Painting and Clay Classes for both youth and • adults. Also up for fall is a joint program with the City of Roseville Park and Recreation Department. We will be putting on a Martin Luther King Day Celebration at Brimhall School.

Anderson also expressed needs for any volunteers for the Dunk Tank at the Ice Cream Social or to volunteer to serve ice cream or sell tickets, if anyone is interested they should contact her. e. Continuation of Goals, Planning, and Budget Discussion, focus to be on Capital Budget ideas Hoag opened the discussion about any capital improvements recommendations members may have at this time. Ozasky brought up The Grove Park and its current swing's. The park has one baby swing and one regular swing and some residents wonder why they couldn't install more regular swings. Worthington informed us that the safety regulations such as Fall Zones, due to space limitations at the Grove when the new swings were installed they only had space for the two swing structure. Ozasky then asked about a shelter or pavilion for the park,. Worthington answered this with a reminder that the city does not own the land of Grove Park and Community Park so that any capital • improvements we make is no benefit to us in the long run. Evans then rehashed the bench situation at Curtiss and what residents have brought to his attention. The problems with the benches are foreseen and are still being discussed whether or not they will be installed. Other concerns brought up about Curtiss Field were the amount of trash bins and the field situation. Currently Public Works is working on finding a contractor to fix the field problem and diminish any further drainage problems. To continue this compliment of ideas Long recommended that for the next few months we meet at the parks themselves and walk around and see what each one has and informally converse on the parks status and amenities. All members agreed that this would be helpful in compiling information for updating our Park and Recreation Comprehensive Plan. The first park we will meet at next week will be Grove Park, located off of Larpenteur and Coffman Street. A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Long and seconded by Dolan. Meeting ended at 8:15pm Minutes respectfully submitted by Lisa Anderson.
