Park Board Meeting <br />May 6, 1991 <br />effort should be made to subsidize the programs. Perhaps some type <br />of scholarships based on need. <br />Update of Recreation Program - Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program <br />Supervisor, talked briefly about the summer recreation program. He <br />explained the brochure he made up regarding the activities that are <br />offered this summer. Barry has been working with the Centennial <br />School District to get the recreation information published in the <br />Observer. The Observer has a circulation of around 14,000. There <br />will also be ads in the Quad Press and the Circulating Pines <br />newspaper. Marty Asleson commented Barry has been doing a lot of <br />work to see that the programs are well organized and that the <br />children will have fun. <br />Marty Asleson and Don Volk went to the Lions Club and got a <br />donation of $400.00 for the Recreation Program. They will also <br />approach the VFW for donations. <br />Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park - Marty Asleson gave a report on the <br />most recent meeting of the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Advisory <br />11"N Committee that was held on Thursday , April 25th, 1991. He reported <br />that he and Don Volk were in attendance along with representatives <br />of Circle Pines and the Anoka County Parks and Recreation <br />Department. There were reports from Anoka County that the County <br />compost pile was doing well, as is the County Tree Disposal site. <br />Also the rate per 18 holes at Chomonix Golf Course will be raised <br />$2.00. There was a discussion on oak wilt. <br />A million dollar Nature Center is scheduled to open in the Fall of <br />1992. One of the problems the County will have will be staffing. <br />Marty suggested that maybe Lino Lakes would be able to work with <br />them on that. <br />The Aqua Lane project was reported on. There will be a walk way and <br />bicycle trail with a small picnic site there. The County was able <br />to get cost matched funds from the Federal Government for a bridge <br />that will go down Aqua Lane. <br />The County was able to hire a full time Park Ranger this year. He <br />will have the authority and power to issue citations. Anoka County <br />Parks and Recreation Department anticipates this addition to the <br />parks staff will help a great deal to control damage in the parks. <br />The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 7, 1991, with <br />Centerville being the host City. <br />4 <br />
