MINUTES PARKS & RECREATION MAY 1,1997 County has been willing to negotiate. Christensen asked if the City had first option, and the Director replied that he thought they did, but that he did not see a great urgency to acquire the property, since it does not appear buildable. Sanders suggested putting it on the workshop agenda. OTHER The Director reported that registration was currently being conducted for Summer Day BUSINESS Camp, Adventures in the Park and Tennis and Golf Lessons, and that youth Summer Ball is beginning. Bianchi reported that she has heard positive feedback from the new playground equipment at Gervais Beach. She said that it was safer because of the proximity of the equipment to the shoreline. Johnson reported on the Arbor Day Celebration and thanked the Hubert H. Humphrey Job Corps for providing the refreshments and also thanked Public Works and other City Staff for their participation. Johnson also reported on the Nadeau Park Clean-up Day. Sanders said that the amount of trash was indicative of the amount of traffic. Ables reported on the Roseville Area Arts Commission. She said that their current project was, in conjunction with the school district and parents, to raise funds to completely refurbish the theater at Roseville Area Middle School. This would include adding another entryway, new sound, and new lighting, and one of the estimates was $110,000. The theater will be for use by residents of Little Canada, Roseville and surrounding cities. Bianchi said that the school had sent a flyer to parents defining the project and asking for help.

Bianchi said she appreciated the publicity, but that the article focused too much on an individual, when it really was a partnership and a lot of people were not mentioned that should have been. The Director presented the proposed lot division at the corner of LaBore and Greenbrier. He said that the Council wanted to know if the Commission would like to take a percentage of land or money for the park dedication fee. Ables moved to take the money, Christensen seconded.
