r <br /> <br />Minutes for Oct. 9, 1989, Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting <br />Present: Linda McLoon, Bob Gehrz, Jyneen Thatcher, <br />Lloyd Jacobson, Pat Bush, Carol Kriegler, Jean Suppes, <br />Connie Lasser, Jeff Johnson <br />Carol explained that she and Jan Wiesner met with the <br />University of Minnesota one year ago and discussed a 25 <br />year lease, which was, at that time, no problem. Sue Weinberg <br />is our contact at the U. The U indicated interest in <br />selling the park properties. Now the U of M has contacted <br />Falcon Heights and wants to lease at 8-12% of market value, <br />possibly $500,000, $50-60,000/year. <br />Jan asked for continuation of lease at a nominal fee in <br />a letter. By Wed., Oct. 11, the U of M will submit a~letter tv <br />the Falcon Heights City Council. <br />The land is being appraised by the university. Linda <br />suggested that a non-U of M appraiser be hired - would cost <br />approximatey $2-3,000. <br />Pat- The students and faculty of the U of M use the park <br />and that point needs to be made. <br />Bob- The city needs to contact Tom Getty, city attorney,. <br />and look into legal rights. The whole affair sets a precedent <br />for the rest of FH/U of M lands. <br />Carol-Our Planner, Susan Hoyt-Taft, indicates that the <br />person (Gus Donhowe) who is initiating the lease increase and/ <br />or sale doesn't have any interest in the surrounding community. <br />Carol-The building project is delayed until assurance of <br />lease or sale. <br />Building specs are done and .it's ready to put out to bid. <br />It probably will. go to the builders exchange in the next 3 <br />weeks. We don't have to accept any bid. <br />Demolition of the building is part of the bidding package. <br />It will cost an estimated. $3500 as part of the bid package versus <br />$6-8,000 for demolition separate from the package. <br />We will bid in Feb. for sure and will have to build in <br />March (Spring) in order to get it up. <br />Lloyd-Suggested contacting Mary Jo McGuire or Jon Marty <br />about the park/ U of M/ building problem. <br />The council voted $5000 for the Falcon Heights School <br />playground project. <br />Carol-Enrollment in programs <br />She will keep us abreast of enrollment and dollars. <br />Registrations for Fall: <br />Cost• Income: <br />$1,086 $1,218 <br />
