<br /> <br /> <br />~~ <br />Park .Commission Meeting <br />July 30, 1981 <br />Attended: Bill Sanders, Carl Spooner, Jim Morelan, Lois Runyon <br />Bev. Scalze. <br />Bill Sanders suggested we grade, fill and seed the large flat area <br />in Spooner Park (that area used in Spooner for the rides during <br />Canadian Days). This area is clay and has very poor drainage. Grading <br />filling, and seeding would make it a more useable area. <br />Bill also stated there is still money in the budget for trails, the <br />low bid left money from the trail grant, so he will have them connect <br />the tral. to the parking lot and that should take care of the grant <br />money. Bev said Carley Eng. took care of the drainage problemon the <br />trail. <br />Carl Spooner said Vern Montgomery complained that the flags are not <br />flying on the flag poles in the park. Discussion followed. It was <br />deceided that Jim Morelan will take care of the flag, and we will <br />put an article in the paper asking for volumteers to take care of <br />the flag. <br />The Lions Club would like to donate more funds to the city if we had <br />a project for them to support. One possibility would be the puppet <br />wagon. <br />Jim Morelan mentioned that there has been problems with the lighting <br />in the lower tennis courts, he will talk to Joe Donovan about contacting <br />Muska Elect. Co. It appears to be an improper wiring job. <br />Bev mentioned that the council meets with the auditor on Aug. 5, 1981, <br />and next years budget has to be in by August 20th, so it can be published. <br />Discussion followed on Canadian Days. Carl Spooner felt the Park <br />Commission shouldn't be involved, but the city should support it <br />because of civic recognition and it helps the businesses. Also, we <br />should send a letter to the Canadian Days Committee regarding how <br />well the park was maintained. <br />CarlSpooner stated that Ray Hanson wants the City Council to approve <br />all letters sent out by the Park Commission. Bev Scalze said she will <br />talk to Ray about this. <br />Bev also .said that Ramsey County Open Space did offer $30,000 for the . <br />'IUrnquist property in 1973 and that figure did not include the house. <br />N,ee ting adjourned at 8:40 <br />BUDGET MEETING: TUES.
