Minutes from December meeting were approved, moved by Carol W. and Morris. 1) Marcia Sundquist was introduced as our new Commission member. She is a resident of 1666 Coffman, and has previously lived in University Grove. Carol W. gave a brief explanation of the Grove Park planning efforts, with Marcia indicating a willingness to participate on the task force. 2) Dead of Winter Inspirational Event: The 2nd annual "Dead of Winter Inspirational Event" is scheduled for 2:00-S:OOPM on Sunday, Feb. 7, 1993. Similar activities to last year will be scheduled, depending on weather conditions. These include treasure hunts (both with clues and an open search for prize eggs), races, snow sculpting contest, open skating and refreshments with socializing inside the park building. Prizes will be given, similar to last year, such as certificates for program participation and candy. Carol K. will try to get some of the youth activity leaders to help out. She will also look into getting music for the skating party. Publicity will be through the Parks and Rec newsletter distributed through the schools, as well as in the Focus and Roseville Sun. In addition, Marcia will note it in the 1666 Coffman newsletter, and a flyer will be included with the survey which is being sent to the F.H. School neighborhood. Commission members should be there around 1:30 to help set up. 3) Falcon Heights School: Carol K. has met with the F.H. School facilities committee regarding our- survey. Ellen-Blank (school principal) and the District Community Ed. personnel approve of it. But the architects expressed some concern over the wording of some statements and questions. They apparently feel that these statements may be interpreted as promising certain elements. These statements, however, were taken directly from the bond issue which was approved in September 1992, and referred to elements such as gymnasium, site work, life safety and energy improvements. The Commission felt these statements should remain in the survey, and reaffirmed their interest in developing recreational opportunities at the school location. The survey will be mailed to all residences in the northeast quadrant of the city - the Falcon Heights School neighborhood - and will include a return Cunstamped) envelope. We will request they be returned by the last week in January, in time to be used for the school schematic design. 4) Carol W. announced that the first Grove Park task force meeting will be held on Monday, January 25, 1993, 7-8:30 PM at City Hall. Meeting adjourned at 8:15. en Thatc er, Secretary, Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting Date: 3/8/93 Agenda Item: D-1 CITY OF FALCON HEIGHTS PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION ITEM DESCRIPTION: Ice Rink Season Report SUBMITTED BY: Carol Kriegler, Park & Rec Director EXPLANATION/SUMMARY: Carol Kriegler will give a brief report on the 92-93 rink season.
