1. Community Park Watch
St. Paul has a park watch program. Signage serves as a deterrent,Cspecially
if people are encouraged to call the police. What about bathrooms? Do we leave
them open? Who unlocks and relocks them? There is the threat of vandalism if
they are open and no one is around. Carol K indicated they are open when
summer programs are going on. We might give it a try to have them open when
city staff is working, between 8:30 and 4:30. Carol K will also look into getting a
cage over the sprinkler heads in the bathrooms. Also, the range, dishwasher,
refrigerator and cabinets are ready to go. (Actually, the cabinets were back
ordered and came in late...)
Jerry Ruettiman, from the Roseville Police department talked about having a
park watch. He said the parks are patrolled more on the weekends, using the
reserve force. We discussed locking the park at Idaho/Snelling after 10 pm. Carol
K asked in the police would do this. Jerry was reluctant to have the police take
on this task. What if they were late or busy etc? Dave thought this job might be
combined with the Neighborhood Watch, with 3 people having the rotating job of
locking the park.
Signs are desperately needed, with rules and that say: Welcome. No golf.
No glass. No alcohol. No animals. No motorized vehicles. Carol K talked about a
metal, reflective sign. Carol K will price three "rule" signs and one park
identification sign.
2. Community Park Update
The bad sod was removed and the dirt was seeded about three weeks ago.
It is coming up.
The block walls need to be sealed in the kitchen and bathrooms. This will
prevent damage and allow graffiti repair to be made more easily. Carol K
discussed this with Neil Weber who recommended a block filler and heavy latex
paint.
3. Idaho/Snelling Improvements
A sheet was distributed about the cost of items. We choose what we
wanted and what we didn't from the options list. Carol indicated that a wood roof
would last a lifetime while an asphalt roof about 20 years. (See handouts). The
• commission decided to go with the presently designed bathrooms, to meet State
requirements on restrooms. We omitted the litter receptacles, move picnic tables
from the Community Park and directly purchase moveable wheelchair picnic
P. bo
tables. We will recommend purchase of 3 Marshall Ash and 15 Engleman ivy and
replace existing chainlink fence fabric. We will wait on the Black Hills Spruce and
Little leaf Linden. The commission agreed to attend the June 19 city council
meeting to support Carol's presentation of the Idaho/Snelling project.
4. Park Capitol Improvement Plan
The commission agreed to replace the large play equipment at the
Community Park as soon as possible, as it is dangerous.
5. As there was no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,

with help from Carol Huso
