MINUTES <br />Parks & Recreation Commission <br />March 2, 2000 <br />also stated that Pioneer Park is well in compliance with the National Recreation & Park <br />Association's recommendation for parking at parks. <br />Sackett GCaser recommended that the Council consider revising the parking requireneents <br />for parklands withicc the City iu an effort to make our parks compliant, taking into <br />consideration the National Recreation & Park Association's recommendations for parking <br />in parks. <br />Motion seconded by Danielson. <br />Motion carried 7- 0. <br />CONCERTS Danielson stated that she has received the Music in the Park information she needed from <br />former Commission Member Muriel Bianchi and some recommended changes Bianchi had <br />for this year's series. Bianchi felt that the series should begin at 7:30 p.rn. instead of 7:00 <br />p.m. since many people did not appear until 7:30 p.m. She also felt there should be an <br />ending time assigned to the performances. <br />Danielson asked if there were any bands from the past that the City wanted to continue to <br />have perform. The Commission felt that the High School Jazz Band and a band for kids <br />should be retained. The Teddy Bear Band or The Splatter Sisters were suggested for kids' <br />bands. Danielson stated that she has spoken with representatives of the band called "The <br />District" and they are very interested in performing. She stated that she has heard the group <br />and they are very good. Also, music from that group would appeal to all ages. <br />The newsletter deadline is Monday, April 24. The concerts will be held on Wednesday <br />nights in July. Danielson stated that she will have the bands selected by the next meeting. <br />She will be contacting The District, The Splatter Sisters, and the Roseville Area High School <br />Jazz Band to perform. However, she does need one more band. She encouraged <br />Commission Members to contact her with suggested bands. <br />The Director stated that $2,000 has typically been budgeted from the City. He will also ask <br />for donations from the charitable organizations. <br />PROJECTS The Pioneer Park lighting project is almost complete. A control panel will be installed within <br />the next two weeks. Anderson suggested having a lighting ceremony. He stated that the <br />neighbors could be invited. <br />Plans for the Spooner/Gervais Mill Park entrances are almost done and those projects will be <br />out for bid within the next week. <br />Len Pratt, the developer of Twin Lake Pines, has been informed of the City's position <br />relative to the Vadnais Boulevard trail. However, plans for the trail have not been developed <br />yet. <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
