CITY OF LINO LAKES <br /> PARK BOARD MEETING <br /> MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1995 <br /> Marty said the Friends of the Park have been able to do a lot but <br /> they are looking for more committee members. They are looking <br /> for someone to help keep the books, people to help write grants <br /> and meet with corporation or business people when they come to <br /> town. Jacqueline Farm wants to do a community ball to try and <br /> get the community involved with this group. <br /> He also reported that they had received a $1, 000. 00 grant from <br /> Target Industries to be used for the Performance in the Park <br /> presentations. <br /> George said most of the neighborhood groups are aware of the <br /> Friends of the Park.

Donation VFW Post 6583 : George said there was a memorandum <br /> in the packets pertaining to the donation VFW Post 6583 gave the <br /> City of Lino Lakes. George asked what the $3300.00 was going to <br /> be used for. Marty responded that it was given for for new <br /> playground equipment in parks. George wanted to know how these <br /> funds were kept separate from dedicated funds vs . general fund <br /> ^ dollars. Marty said it would have to be earmarked for a park <br /> area. Maybe there could be a three-way match from the Friends of <br /> the Park and a neighborhood group. He also mentioned the <br /> placement of a plaque stating it was donate by a specific group <br /> or groups . George wanted to know what previous donations had <br /> been used for. Marty responded that it had gone into playground <br /> equipment, picnic tables, hockey rinks, and lighting. George <br /> said it would be wise to remember this money is available and to <br /> keep it in mind when working through meetings and needs, and to <br /> remember it could be used for a park(s) if we run short. <br /> However, he said it is too early now to make a recommendation to <br /> where the money should be used. <br /> Sharon wanted to know if a letter of thanks had been sent to the <br /> VFW. Marty said the Police and Park and Recreation Departments <br /> are working on a plaque to be presented at a future City council <br /> meeting. <br /> E. Lighting Information: George said he had seen Marty' s <br /> response to the letter of inquiry in the Quad Newspaper. He said <br /> it was a good response and hopefully it will answer a lot of <br /> questions. <br /> Marty showed a video tape on lighting. Amy asked if this was the <br /> Park and Recreation Department' s video. Marty said no but he <br /> would check to see if we could copy it. <br /> 3 <br />
