City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> July 1, 1996 <br /> Marty said he had been contacted by Paul Hasenduster from the <br /> Forest Lake Athletic Association regarding a consortium based <br /> investment in an ice arena in the Forest Lake area. Marty told <br /> Mr. Hasenduster to come to the meeting and address this issue <br /> under Open Mike. <br /> It was thought the city would be better off to spend the money in <br /> this community not in someone else' s . <br /> FRIENDS OF THE PARR UPDATE: <br /> It is questionable on whether the tournament is going to take <br /> place.
