He and Carol Kriegler outlined <br />some of the upcoming park improvements including trail workout stations and avolley- <br />balt sandpit at Community Park and new trash cans and roof repair at Curtiss Field. <br />Much of this work may be able to be done "in-house" by the Falcon Heights public <br />works crew. Pete also said he would look into the feasibility of providing recycling <br />containers at the parks. <br />Aoaointment of Officers <br />Since the commission last met, Allan Weinand informed Carol Kriegler that while he <br />was honored that the commission would nominate him as chair, he did not wish to be <br />considered for the position at this time. The commissioners present then voted <br />unanimously for Nancy Wickhem. Nancy also agreed to serve as secretary. <br />(temporarily?) <br />Ice Cream Social Wrap-uo <br />Carol Kriegler reported 5240.00 in ticket revenue. The commission guessed that <br />attendance was double this year. All refreshments were sold out early in the evening. <br />The snow cones, free face painting and the dunk tank were huge hits this year. The <br />dunk tank revenues, designated to support the "Time-In" playground program, were <br />5174.00, or 870 balls thrown at our courageous volunteers. It was suggested that <br />the commission re-evaluate ticket and item prices for next year. This will be an <br />agenda item at a future commission meeting. <br />
