PARK BOARD MEETING November 3, 1986 Page Two sidering two other possible sites, one in Circle Pines and is negotiating with the School District. The location with the School District may prove to be too costly; Circle Pines will be holding a public hearing regarding their location. Mr. Arntzen will forward any information derived from that meeting. He is also compiling data from different arenas and will forward that information also. LEASE OF SCHOOL PROPERTY FOR USE AS CITY PARR The question was raised why a five-year rental period? Be- cause it gives the School Board some leeway should they need to build a school. Don Volk estimated costs under $1, 000 . 00 for grass/sod, etc. (not including fences ) . A motion was made to enter into the Lease Agreement as written with Sch000l District No. 12 . The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. BMX TRACK INSURANCE The Park Board requested that the staff contact the new association requesting a decision prior to the December Park Board meeting on their intentions (including a copy of the letter from the insurance company) . Don Volk will research what other tracks in the area are doing in terms of insurance coverage; such as who carries the coverage, the City or the association/organization? BALDWIN LAKE PROPERTY OFFERED BY THE CITY OF ST. PAUL Three letters have been received in response to our letter of September 26th. The main concern of nearby residents in the possible purchase of this land seems to be controlling vehicles that now race up and down the area. The land is basically without value except at a great cost to develop and maintain, and much of the area is under water in the Spring. Perhaps St. Paul would be agreeable to an offer in order to eliminate the maintenance requirements they now experience. A motion was made to offer the City of St. Paul $1 . 00 for the property, with the City of Lino Lakes to pay all administrative/transfer costs incurred. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously. The Board asks that this offer be presented with wordage referring to the fact that this offer will eliminate further maintenance expenditures and nuisance problems for the City of St. Paul.
