�.� PARK BOARD MEETING <br /> MONDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1992 <br /> being incorporated as a non-profit organization can be used as a <br /> tool in receiving gifts, grants and donations to fund park projects <br /> in the city. It will be necessary to file for non-profit status <br /> with the State and then set up a committee. The Director of Parks <br /> and Recreation at Roseville recommended a committee with a lot of <br /> representation such as local bankers, attorneys, developers, <br /> representatives of local service clubs and the like. Jacquelyn <br /> concluded her presentation by asking for feedback from the board. <br /> Should she pursue the matter and file for non-profit status with <br /> the state? After some discussion a motion was made. <br /> MOTION: George Lindy made a motion to recommend that the city apply <br /> to the State for incorporation as a non-profit foundation on the <br /> short form, making the City of Lino Lakes parks the benefactor. It <br /> was seconded by John Bauman. All were in favor. Motion carried. <br /> Good Job Jacquelyn! ! <br /> It was also recommended that the park board use dedicated park <br /> funds to send Jacquelyn and Marty Asleson and Don Volk to a one day <br /> seminar at the Minneapolis Public Library at the end of this month. <br /> The cost is $25 per person. It' s called "Grant Seeking for <br /> Beginners" and will be helpful in that it will deal with how to <br /> start a non-profit foundation. Marty Asleson will now bring this <br /> information and recommendation before the council . <br /> Financing Comp Plan Priorities - George Lindy explained that he <br /> sees the need to begin to make some expenditures out of dedicated <br /> park funds.

He would like the board to bring <br /> their ideas for discussion of priorities and development with the <br /> funds available and what the board feels is the comfort level for <br /> the reserve balance in the dedicated park fund. A special meeting <br /> to discuss this issue will be held on Tuesday evening October 13 , <br /> 1992 from 6 : 00 to 8 : 00 pm at City Hall. <br /> Quail Ridge - The Quail Ridge development has gotten approval from <br /> the council to go ahead.
