His work experience includes working with the North Iowa Area Council of Governments for two years. While working in this job, he became familiar with local government and local zoning codes. Mr. Colton will work with the administrator on the following projects: moving ahead on the adoption of a housing code refining the home occupation code researching land use controls licensing requirements and related issues to complete the commercial moratorium as soon as possible (With an intern doing this, the city can reduce the amount of consultant time on this activity.)

The hiring of Mr. Colton will not commit the city or Mr. Colton to a specific duration of employment.

The Commission agreed, but also expressed interest in continuity among the parks. Plantings for Grove park will wait until spring, at the suggestion of Linda Treeful, the city forester. She looked at the vegetation along Coffman St. and feels that some of the trees are worth saving, but most of the trees and shrubs are not. She will be asked to make a second evaluation of which trees to protect and save. The issue of the tennis bangboard was revisited, following specific requests from two families. At this time, the Commission prefers to not install a bangboard, based on the number of complaints about the old one, the volume of opinion expressed by the community against the replacement with a new one, the potential safety issues of a large expanse of wall (especially adjacent to the hardcourt area) and the maintenance issues arising from the inevitable graffitti. However, to remain responsive to the desires of the neighborhood, the Commission is willing to reconsider the issue in the future, should the above factors change. In view of this, Carol K. will get an estimate of cost. D -3. Election of officers. Following the resignation of Carol H., Carol W. nominated Jyneen as chairperson of the Commission. As there were no other nominations, Jyneen accepted the position, and will continue as secretary. L 4. Other business. The ice cream social was a success. The Commission members especially enjoyed the opportunity to mingle with the guests, with the Lion's Club members offering to serve the ice cream. Some vandalism has occurred at both Curtiss Field and the Community Park. At the Community Park, the new pop machine was vandalized. It may not be replaced by the vendor. The next scheduled meeting date will conflict with a Brimhall School event, and will consequently be changed to September 20, 1993. 1 Y26:42,______ r neen Thatcher, Secretary Falcon Heights Parks and Recreation Commission.
