Rob Schleicher April 18, 1994 <br /> 469 Main Street <br /> Lino Lakes, MN 55014 <br /> Dear Rob <br /> This is in regards your concerns for teen recreation opportunity in <br /> the City of Lino Lakes. We understand the need for addressing teen <br /> recreation and as of now, Lino Lakes does not have a teen center of <br /> the type that is being proposed in Circle Pines. Having two teen- <br /> age children of my own, and being an area resident, I personally <br /> believe that the teen center concept is a good one. In fact, my <br /> wife sits on the teen center committee, and I have spent some of my <br /> own time with this effort. <br /> The teen center in Circle Pines was intended to service the teens <br /> from the Centennial School District, and be within walking distance <br /> from the Junior and Senior High Schools. The trouble is that we <br /> also have two other school districts in the city and although <br /> anyone could attend this center it would be nice to have one the <br /> northern side of the city to service Forest Lake and White Bear <br /> Lake School District Students. <br /> We are at this time trying to program activities for teens and <br /> without teen interest or input we are not accomplishing what we <br /> would like to do. That is to provide quality recreation <br /> opportunity for all residents, including teens. <br /> In order to find the real needs of area residents, we have recently <br /> formed a resident Recreation Focus Committee. This committee meets <br /> once a month for the purpose of giving staff input into city-wide <br /> needs. I sincerely would like to invite you to become involved in <br /> this committee. One of the groups that is not represented by a <br /> member of its own age groups is the teens. I would like to form a <br /> subcommittee of teens to help in the recreation effort. I have a <br /> few other names of area teens that have expressed interest as well. <br /> Please think about this Rob, and give me a call if it interests <br /> you. Who knows, we might be able to do more than you think. Thank <br /> you for your letter to the mayor, and I hope to hear from you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Marty Asleson <br /> ✓"� Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Coordinator <br /> City of Lino Lakes <br />
