MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />May 1, 2003 <br />small portion of their back property line. They were definitely not in favor of that idea at all. <br />He also looked at Edgerton Street and he stated that the ditch is so deep and wide that placement <br />of anoff-street trail will encroach beyond the road easement. The Director stated that the City <br />Administrator, the City Engineer and himself took a look at the street to see where the property <br />lines fell. The west side is the best for an off-street path. The ditch will have to be filled and <br />the Director would like to see a separation between the roadway and the path. <br />Larson recommended that this item be tabled until tl:e cost for lowering tlae stoma water <br />drainage, the street reconstruction, and the traffic signaling system is obtained. <br />Motion seconded by Sclaabacker. <br />Motion carried 7- 0. <br />ICE CREAM Steinert stated that he met with the Director to discuss the possibility of obtaining some kids' <br />SOCIAL entertainment for the ice cream social on July 31. They talked about having a fire truck on hand <br />to show the kids and possibly having Maplewood Parks & Recreation do a puppet show. <br />Steinert commented that he has also called the Ramsey County Sheriff s Canine Unit about <br />putting on a demonstration for the kids. Larson suggested having a helicopter land. It was <br />mentioned that the helicopter might interfere with the Canadian Days set up and/or activities on <br />the ball fields. Schabacker suggested handing out plastic fire hats and candy to the kids. The <br />Commission decided not to hire a kids' band due to the high cost. The time is set for 6:30 p.m. <br />to 8:00 p.m. and the activities will begin at different times so they don't compete against one <br />another. The Commission was very happy with these ideas and instructed Steinert to begin <br />planning the event. <br />The Director indicated that he has called the Roseville Area High School Jazz Band's director to <br />let him know about the Commission's decision and also invited him to use our facility for <br />another concert on his own. <br />DIRECTOR'S The Director discussed the following issues: <br />REPORT <br />^ Three residents of the City have donated some trees to the parks through the program put on <br />by the Friends of the Parks & Trails...Ginger Sackett Glaser, Jim Broten, and Helen <br />Nielsen.
