CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS <br />PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION <br />MEETING MINUTES <br />AUGUST 11, 1997 <br />Members Present: Peter Lindstrom, Greg Schaefer, Carol Kriegler <br />Members Absent: Donna Daykin, Lois Millett, Nancy Wickem, Laura Kuettel, <br />REPORTS, REQUESTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />D-1. Welcome to New Commission Member Peter Lindstrom <br />D-2. Falcon Heights School Neighborhood Event <br />A series of neighborhood gatherings in each of the city's parks and school <br />grounds has been scheduled. The purpose of the events is to provide <br />residents with an opportunity to visit with friends and neighbors of their <br />respective neighborhood. <br />Carol Kriegler recommended that a neighborhood ice cream social be held on <br />.the Falcon Heights School playground on Thursday evening, August 26. A <br />portable push cart is available for rent from an area dairy. The cart has the <br />• capacity to hold several 3 gallon tubs of ice cream. It was also suggested <br />that we have rootbeer available for floats, with the cost for either being <br />$.25. A serving schedule for commission members will be established and <br />sent out to members. Scooping ice cream cones can be fairly labor intensive <br />and with good weather we could get a number of folks to come out. <br />Greg Schaefer reported that he was still having difficulty in confirming the <br />availability of a local group of musicians to play at the event. He would <br />continue to work on securing music for the event. It was decided that music <br />would be played during the heart of the event, 6:45-7:45. <br />While not in attendance, Laura Kuettel provided a written list of possible <br />suggestions /ideas for the event. Those ideas follow: <br />• welcoming banner, name tags, set-up near "Big Toy", use school sign to <br />promote, bathroom available?, use lions tent, provide large appliance <br />boxes for play, kids games, guest book, some activity representing <br />streets, pictures of event, suggestion box, fire /police visits, face <br />painting, button making, clown club volunteer, food shelf donation drop- <br />off, water, public service informational fliers. <br />The list was recognized as full of very good ideas, many that could be done <br />quite easily. <br />D-3. With the meeting held at the Community Park, members present took a <br />. tour of the entire park. It was a beautiful evening with moderate park use <br />and the prairie in bloom. As we walked through different areas of the park, <br />
