� k AUGUST 18, 1975 The regular meeting of the Lino Lakes Park, Recreation and Environmental Commission began informally at 8: 15 P.M. due to a lack of quorm. Members present: Chairman Clausen, Mrs. Brisson, Mr. Karth, . Councilman McLean and Public Works Director, Don Volk were also present. Mr. Joe Hill was present to ask about the possibilities of renting the two softball diamonds at Sunrise Park for a tournament on September 6 and 7, 1975. Mr. Hill had been at the last Park Board Meeting and the City Council Meeting on Jujy 28, 1975. At the Council Meeting the matter was layed over until a decision could be made on selling beer in the Parks because Ordinance 61, Section 5 states that: "No person shall possess, display, consume or use intoxicating liquor on any City Public Park or Public Grounds. No person shall possess, display, consume or usennon-intoxicating malt liquor in any City Park or Public Grounds except in designated picnic areas approved by the City Council ." The City Attorney has been asked to have an opinion ready for the August 25, 1975 Council Meeting. Mr. Hill asked about the fee that would be required. He stated that he did not feel that Lino Lakes could charge what Lexington charges; $200 plus a $100 cleaning deposit, because Lino Lakes is not able to provide electricity or toilet facilities. Mr. McLean said that there was toilet facilit4es available at the warming house in Sunrise Park and that the warming house also had electricity. Mr. Hill said that he was aware of the warming house but felt that it would be too great a distance to travel . He will speak to some of the neighbors In the area of the fields and ask If he can string an extension cord from their homes to the fields in order to provide electric service. He is also going to look into the possibility of renting a coupe of satellites. Mr. McLean asked Mr. Hill what he felt a fair price for the two fields would be. Mr. Hill said he felt that $100 for the weekend for both fields and a $100 cleaning deposit would be fair to both the City and to his team. The question of parking and the probable need for additional parking arose. Mr. Hill asked where he can direct parking to? Would they be required to park In the designated areas as they now stand or would they be able to park back closer to the two diamonds that will be In use. Mr. Volk said that it would be possible to park back closer to the two diamonds and that if the Park Commission agreed, he would meet with Mr. Hill this week and outline the parking areas that could be used. Mr. Hill said that his team would rope of the areas as designated and make sure that people parked only in those areas.
