Park Board April 2, 1984 n - page three - LARA Representatives from the Lino Area Recreational Association had re- quested time before the Park Board to discuss the storage building they had constructed ,in Lino Park. The building' is completed with the exception of the inside. The men requested assistance from the Park Board for this completion. This building is used to store athletic equipment - bats, b-alls, helmets , football and soccer equipment , etc. At the present time the equipment is either on the floor of the building or stored in someone's garage. The Association asked the Park Board for funds to install 4' wide shelves around three sides of the building. When asked about the cost , the representatives thought it would cost around $400.00. The general consensus of the Park Board was they have no problems with helping this organization with this cost but they felt the estimate was high and asked them to get a quote and put their information and request in a letter. Mr. Bohjanen, Council Representative to this Board, said the VFW gives the City $300.00 each month to be used in the City ' s Park. He felt it was possible to designate this money to be spent for the purpose of these shelves. Mr. Bohjanen suggested this information be presented to the VFW for their consideration. OLD BUSINESS Mr.Schumacher had included in the packets the 5 - 10 - 15 year Park Plans.

He also pointed out that the Council had rejected the Planning and Zoning requirements for a tot lot in Rice Lake Estates and had recommended cooperation with the City of Circle Pines in developing Baldwin Park for use of the residents of that area.
