Minutes of the Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting
7:00 P.M., Monday, July 9, 1990
Members present: Connie Lasser, Linda McLoon, Deborah
Weiland, Carol Huso, Jeff Johnson, Lloyd Jacobson, Sam
Jacobs, Council Liason, Carol Kriegler, Park Director
Members absent: Jyneen Thatcher, Jean Suppes, Steve Schugel
1. Central Announcements and Updates
Carol said that the Torch Run went well, although it
ran 1 hour late. A good turn out was seen along the route.
Word has it that Jeff Johnson did a great impersonation of
Jim Scheibel. Carol passed photos of the run and of the
demolition of the "torched" park building and great photos
of the new building.
The June 14 Fire Saftey program went very well with 35
people attending. Terry Iverson did a great job.
2. Park Building Update
. The park building is on time or early and due to be
done on July 20. The concrete skirtings are in, paths will
go in next. The amenities have been ordered as follows:
picnic tables, park benches, trash receptacles, grills and
drinking fountain. All should be here in time for the ice
cream social except the park benches. Tim Heil is still
interested in volunteering his expertise to stain the
exterior of the building. Carol will discretely check him
out. Jaycees are interested in a service donation,
especially in helping put things together, etc. They have
some money, maybe for a sign and will let us know.
Sam indicated that the Falcon Heights/Lauderdale Lions
Club was also interested in a service donation (putting
things together, etc) and would donate $1,000 for a sign
providing that the group got recognition for their donation.
Everyone agreed in principle with the need for some sort of
visual recognition, the details of which would be worked
out.
We are still waiting to hear from the other groups.
3. Garment Sale
Carol indicated that a possible fundraiser could be the
sale of t-shirts and sweatshirts that are mistakes and
overstock from the company she got the shirts from this
• summer, Garment Graphics. The shirts this year were a great
price and Carol had them in 1 1/2 weeks. We all agreed that
it was worth pursuing. Carol H. indicated that if we were
to do well it needs to be held in August for the before
school market. Carol K. will follow up.

4. Ice Cream Social
The date is set for Thursday, July 26. Due to the new
building we expect a bigger crowd than usual. There will be
soccer and t-ball and near ball games from 5-7. There will
be a building dedication at 7 with the mayor (governor?,
McGuire?, Marty?) and then the Splatter Sisters will perform
from 7:15-8:15. There will be an ad in the city newsletter
and flyers will be sent home with all the kids in summer
programs.
Lloyd will tell the seniors they can bring cakes to
City Hall any time that day, and from 3-5 directly to the
Park Building.
We determined we need 8 people helping at all times,
preferably with one or more Parks and Rec people at each
time. Two each to: cut cake, sell tickets, serve
beverages, serve ice cream and cake. We agreed to go with
ice cream cups again and save a lot of mess and clean up.
Carol K. will make lemonade instead of orange drink. It was
a hit last year. Carol K asked if we could bring spatulas,
knives etc. She would get everything else. Tentative sign

5. Summer Programs
This was our best year ever, with 297 kids in the
programs. All programs went well. Team pictures will be
done by Sport Star photography, a first this year. We'll
see how it goes. This doesn't cost us anything, nor does it
produce any revenue for us.
Carol K. asked for suggestions for Dog Days of August
classes in August, to be held at the park building.
6. Idaho-Snelling Park Improvements
With the mess up at the community parks and our need to
pursue money, this was put on hold until August. Carol K.
kept the request for funds. Scott Midness suggested a
different tune of fencing that would be less of a wall, but
still keep kids out. It is called prison mesh, is vinyl

coated and has small mesh to keep kids from climbing the
fence. Carol K. is getting a price quotation on it.
7. Cable
Carol K. is still looking for volunteers to videotape
games and the ice cream social.

adjourned at 8:45 p.m.
