Park Board Meeting May 6, 1991 Recreation Agreement - Mr. Asleson explained that the Agreement between Lino Lakes and Centennial School District has been reviewed by the City Attorney and is ready to go to the Council for approval. He asked if the Park Board had any comments on the agreement. Ray Johnson thinks the agreement looks good. Ken Johnson questioned whether the Recreation Director would be permanently housed at the School District offices. Marty Asleson explained that it may be best in the beginning for two reasons, #1 the City has no additional room at this time, and #2 if we're programming indoor activities, it would be a good idea to have people in house to maintain communications. Marty also noted that the North Metro Recreation (Centerville, Circle Pines, Lexington) agreement with the School District will be almost the same as ours. North Metro Recreation Department won't be active until 1992, but will start some part time programs this Fall. Mr. Asleson says the School District feels that all recreation departments should have the same benefits. Land Use Agreement - Marty explained that there are not many land use agreements around such as this one where a City and a School District agree to certain uses and terms. Usually agreements such as this are done verbally with a hand shake. Staff at Birch School have seen the agreement and seem comfortable with it. It will move on to our City Council and then to the School Board. Forest Lake School District - Marty reported that he and Don Volk met with Dan Poeppard, Director of Community Services in Forest Lake School District. He commented that all school districts differ in how they run their recreation programs. Marty feels that Forest Lake has a good program. Marty explained that the possibility of an agreement with Forest Lake was discussed. He felt that this was a positive meeting. John Baumann asked if Marty intended to meet with the White Bear Lake School District to discuss the same issues. Marty noted that Lino Lakes doesn't have a park facility in the White Bear School District. He commented that there is a possibility of coordinating a Ringette program with them. �1 _ 2
