PARK BOARD MINUTES February 5, 1990 Marty said that in Circle Pines they constructed buildings using volunteer' s and city workers . For example, if the city wanted to construct a building in Sunrise Park where 1) ballfields are in use and 2) hockey fields are in use, the city would ask parents of the ball players and hockey players to help out in construction. Barry Brainerd felt that a building 1500 square feet would be an adequate size at Sunrise Park. For play ground use with an average of 25 children playing at one time a 400 sq. ft . shelter would be adequate for summer play and pleasure rink use. Don Volk stated that the park board has to start dedicating dollars for buildings . The city has parks with considerable use and need buildings at them. A trailer was moved into Birch Park and neighbors have complained. Don recommends budgeting for buildings as years go by. Don Volk suggested if the board would like a building constructed at Sunrise Park this summer it should be contracted out . The cost of the trailer rental at Birch Park costs the city $167 . 00/month. This issue will be brought up again at the March Park Board meeting plus the board will be informed as to how many dollars are in dedicated parks at this time. Also staff will present the board with building needs for city parks , and draw up plans for buildings . Even if the park board is not ready to construct these buildings , the plans will be there for when they are ready. 9: 15 p. m. OLD BUSINESS 1. FINALIZE PRIORITY LIST - 1990.
