Mr. Clausen pointed out that on page 2, paragraph 6,line the word Put should be changed to read "be". Mr. Gourley moved to accept the minutes with the noted corrections. Seconded by Mrs. LeTourneau. Motion carried. Mr. Clausen pointed out that he would ask Mr,.Carl Nelson of the Hockipy Association to have the schedules for the 1975-1976 season into the city office just as soon as it was available. He did not feel that he should be responsible for getting the schedules into the office since he Is not a member of the hockey board. The first item for discussion was the proposal submitted by Mr. Gotwald, City Engineer, for the warming house at the Hall Park. Mr. McLean stated that he had had the opportunity to discuss the prices of buildings with a member of the Anoka County Park Board and was told that they were currently n spending about $16,000.00 for buildings with the same facilities that this Board is considering. -Mr. Resch -sa!d he understood that New Brighton was spending about- $20,000.00 per building at this time. Mrs. LeTourneau pointed out that these figures were fine for communities and counties that had that kind of money but that they are way out of line for the budget that we must work within. She wanted toknow if we were going to have to start cutting corners now on the warming house for the Hall Park and if so, how much and where? Mrs. LeTourneau said that if we have to start trimming now we would only end up with the same problems that are being experienced at Sunrise Park - inadequate facilities for the use that the Park gets. Mr. Mclean said that the size could remainthe same but the toilet facilites could be stubbed in for now as one way to cut the costs. A discussion followed on ,just where to cut corners for the warming house at the Hail Park and it was decided that the building could be cut down to a 10' x 24' building for the present +ime and the toilet facilities would be put In now but nothing else.
