Park and Recreation Commission
January 12, 1987
Members Present: Bob Gehrz, Paul Nelson, Tom Montain, Connie Lasser,
Pat Bush and Paul Ciernia, Council Liaison
Members Absent: Floyd Bedbury, Ardis Hutchins, Leo & Jean Ohman
Meeting called to order at 7:00 P.t4. by Connie Lasser, Chairperson.
1. Rinks
With colder weather in sight, rink flooding will continue.
Idaho/Snelling and Falcon Heights Community park rinks have
received a lot of use. Some issues regarding flooding, ice
quality and safety were discussed.
2. Rink at the Grove
Discussion was continued regarding a security light at the Grove
• rink. Pat Bush reported she had checked some preliminary costs
of $1,200 to $2,800 to install a timing mechanism and security
light. Another option is to have Northern States Power install
a light that is on continuously. Northern States Power will do
the installation at no charge. However, there would be a utility
fee of about $25 a month.
3. Winter Festival
This will be held January 25, 1987 from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M. at the
Falcon Heights Community Park. Information will be distributed
in the newsletter, at school, and on cable television. Refreshments
will be provided. Possibly part of the event may be video-taped
and shown at a later date.
4. Winter Program
Pat Bush reported on the programs being sponsored. Some classes were
dropped for lack of attendance. The Committee discussed whether or not
the after school programs should be run by Roseville Schools rather
than Falcon Heights Park and Recreation. This item will be continued.
We should try to find our niche in terms of age group, type of classes
to offer, etc.
5. Bus Shelter at Grove Park
This was considered as an alternate to a warming house at the Grove
Park. The University of Minnesota is somewhat receptive to this idea.
There are no MTC shelters that can be used. We don't have a firm
bid, but the cost looks to be around $2,500 - $3,500. Pat Bush
will attempt to secure a more exact cost.

6. Membership
Connie will secure an updated membership list for this Commission
and check on securing additional members.
7. Excess Budget
Paul Ciernia reported that some unused funds would be put into the
capital improvement fund.
8. Bike Path
This Commission should consider what recommendations and input we would
like to see. This ideas would be presented to the Planning
Commission.
