PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION <br /> MEETING MINUTES <br /> 1/11/93 <br /> Members present: Lloyd Jacobson, Morris Nicholson, Marcia Sundquist, <br /> Jyneen Thatcher, Carol Weisberg; and Carol Kreigler, Parks Director. <br /> Minutes from December meeting were approved, moved by Carol W. and <br /> Morris. <br /> 1) Marcia Sundquist was introduced as our new Commission member. She is <br /> a resident of 1666 Coffman, and has previously lived in University <br /> Grove. Carol W. gave a brief explanation of the Grove Park planning <br /> efforts, with Marcia indicating a willingness to participate on the task <br /> force. <br /> 2) Dead of Winter Inspirational Event: The 2nd annual "Dead of Winter <br /> Inspirational Event" is scheduled for 2:00- 5:OOPM on Sunday, Feb. 7, <br /> 1993. Similar activities to last year will be scheduled, depending on <br /> weather conditions. These include treasure hunts (both with clues and <br /> an open search for prize eggs), races, snow sculpting contest, open <br /> skating and refreshments with socializing inside the park building. <br /> Prizes will be given, similar to last year, such as certificates for <br /> program participation and candy. Carol K. will try to get some of the <br /> youth activity leaders to help out. She will also look into getting <br /> music for the skating party. <br /> Publicity will be through the Parks and Rec newsletter distributed <br /> through the schools, as well as in the Focus and Roseville Sun. In <br /> addition, Marcia will note it in the 1666 Coffman newsletter, and a <br /> flyer will be included with the survey which is being sent to the F.H. <br /> School neighborhood. <br /> Commission members should be there around 1:30 to help set up. <br /> 3) Falcon Heights School: Carol K. has met with the F.H. School <br /> facilities committee regarding our survey. Ellen Blank (school <br /> principal) and the District Community Ed. personnel approve of it. But <br /> the architects expressed some concern over the wording of some <br /> statements and questions. They apparently feel that these statements <br /> may be interpreted as promising certain elements. These statements, <br /> however, were taken directly from the bond issue which was approved in <br /> September 1992, and referred to elements such as gymnasium, site work, <br /> life safety and energy improvements. The Commission felt these <br /> statements should remain in the survey, and reaffirmed their interest in <br /> developing recreational opportunities at the school location. <br /> The survey will be mailed to all residences in the northeast <br /> quadrant of the city the Falcon Heights School neighborhood and will <br /> include a return (unstamped) envelope. We will request they be returned <br /> by the last week in January, in time to be used for the school schematic <br /> design. <br /> 4) Carol W. announced that the first Grove Park task force meeting will <br /> be held on Monday, January 25, 1993, 7 -8:30 PM at City Hall. <br /> Meeting adjourned at 8:15. <br /> Ai-en Thatc er, Secretary, Parks and Recreation Commission <br />
