Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morel= <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />RE: Recommendation on Potential Park Usage of Ruth Street <br />Property <br />During the May 2, 1996 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, <br />the commission moved to recommend we release our interest in the <br />Ruth Street property. The following reasons were cited as a <br />basis for this motion: <br />• The parcel is low, wet and isolated. <br />► The parcel of land does not fit into the park master plan. <br />It should be noted that Mr. Jim Gustafson was present during this <br />meeting, and expressed an interest in maintaining this parcel <br />with the express intent it be used as an open space area for <br />children to play. He requested assistance from the City with the <br />initial mowing to make the maintenance manageable. He was <br />advised to seek information from the City Administrator regarding <br />the possibility of this request. <br />It was suggested to Mr. Gustafson that he contact Ramsey County <br />to seek title to this land. Mr. Gustafson stated he would <br />determine if other area residents were interested in a combined <br />purchase, and contact the county if necessary. <br />Page 31 <br />
