The signs will <br /> make mention of who to contact if the gate is not open. <br /> Chairman Ray Johnson directed the Secretary, Laura Elken to <br /> send copies of the Opinion Survey to David Torkilson, Parks <br /> Director for Anoka County, and also to Margaret Langfeld, <br /> the County Commissioner, and ask for any comments. <br /> NEW BUSINESS <br /> 1 . Chairman Ray Johnson suggested we create a budget <br /> regarding the forestry Department. <br /> Don said there is a staffing problem. Its a slow process in <br /> enabling Mike to work more in the forestry department rather <br /> than in Parks. Tracy Urich has filled in for Mike in <br /> places, and that is going well , but there still is a need <br /> for additional help in the area of parks. <br /> 2 . John Bauman asked the Park Board what the process is if <br /> we wish to change the name of a park. <br /> He would like to see City Hall park changed to Knute Park <br /> after a boy who was tragically killed. <br /> Page 5 <br />
