PARK BOARD August 4, 1986 Page Three PROPOSED SCHOOL PROPERTY Ray Johnson updated the Board per a phone conversation with the City Administrator: - The lease agreement has been given to Warren Tester on the School Board, and the Superintendent and their lawyer are considering the lease. There has been talk of changing the term of the lease from 15 years to 5 years renewable annually thereafter- - The farmer who presently uses the property has been promised use of the land until November, therefore it is doubtful that the City could seed the ground this fall to .begin establishment of turf. BALDWIN LAKE PROPERTY The City of St. Paul has sent to Lino Lakes more information regarding the Baldwin Lake property which the City of Lino Lakes leases from the City of St. Paul. A tour of the area was offered by the City of St. Paul, so that Lino Lakes boardmembers could view the property to help make a decision as to whether or not Lino Lakes wishes to purchase the land. Mr. Volk agreed to let Mr. Schumacher know that the Park Board would like to tour the area so that arrangements for the tour can be made. Mr. Volk and Mr. Flannery thought that it would be wise to look into why the City of St. Paul is interested in selling the property. Mr. Flannery volunteered to do the necessary legwork (going through minutes; etc.) to try and learn the motive for selling. VANDALISM Mr. Volk reported that no new vandalism reports have been filed since the last meeting of the Park Board and that the Anoka County Crime Investigator assigned to the Sunrise Park vandalism problem has not yet had a chance to look into the vandalism report. Mr. Volk will be meeting with the Lino Lakes Police Chief to try to establish a procedure for investigation of park vandalism reports on the staff level rather than through the County Crime Department.
