Minutes for Oct. 9, 1989, Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting
Present: Linda McLoon, Bob Gehrz, Jyneen Thatcher,
Lloyd Jacobson, Pat Bush, Carol Kriegler, Jean Suppes,
Connie Lasser, Jeff Johnson
Carol explained that she and Jan Wiesner met with the
University of Minnesota one year ago and discussed a 25
year lease, which was, at that time, no problem. Sue Weinberg
is our contact at the U. The U indicated interest in
selling the park properties. Now the U of M has contacted
Falcon Heights and wants to lease at 8-12% of market value,
possibly $500,000, $50-60,000/year.
Jan asked for continuation of lease at a nominal fee in
a letter. By Wed., Oct. 11, the U of M will submit a~letter tv
the Falcon Heights City Council.
The land is being appraised by the university. Linda
suggested that a non-U of M appraiser be hired - would cost
approximatey $2-3,000.
Pat- The students and faculty of the U of M use the park
and that point needs to be made.
Bob- The city needs to contact Tom Getty, city attorney,.
and look into legal rights. The whole affair sets a precedent
for the rest of FH/U of M lands.
Carol-Our Planner, Susan Hoyt-Taft, indicates that the
person (Gus Donhowe) who is initiating the lease increase and/
or sale doesn't have any interest in the surrounding community.
Carol-The building project is delayed until assurance of
lease or sale.
Building specs are done and .it's ready to put out to bid.
It probably will. go to the builders exchange in the next 3
weeks. We don't have to accept any bid.
Demolition of the building is part of the bidding package.
It will cost an estimated. $3500 as part of the bid package versus
$6-8,000 for demolition separate from the package.
We will bid in Feb. for sure and will have to build in
March (Spring) in order to get it up.
Lloyd-Suggested contacting Mary Jo McGuire or Jon Marty
about the park/ U of M/ building problem.
The council voted $5000 for the Falcon Heights School
playground project.

of the general fund. This provides moneys for paying rink
