CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1994 surrounding communities. George stated we need to get someone in this position immediately. He wanted to know if it was a Park Board issue or if the City Council would decide on this position. Marty thought he would update the City Council and he had two people to interview for this position. He said we need someone in the position that is aggressive and can pickup where we left off with the program. Barry gave an overview of the skating program the department is offering. He has hired a new instructor that is interested in teaching a longblade skating program. Barry said she also has experience in in-line skating. He suggested an oval at Country Lakes Park for the longblade skating program. Barry and Marty discussed the format of the new newsletter/Park and Recreation brochure. Barry stated that the Recreation Focus Committee recommended the program brochure be sent out more often so it was decided to incorporate it with the City newsletter and it will be sent out four times a year. Barry said the program guide will have dark bordered pages to help off set the Park and Recreation section of the newsletter/brochure. Marty then discussed ice rinks. He said we need cold weather to be able to flood the rinks. George said he had contacted an asphalt contractor about the cost of an in-line skating rink. The quote was for a 4 inch base with 3 inch asphalt. The cost would be 95 cents/foot. Brian said 2 inches would be sufficient and figured it would cost 80 cents/foot. The cost would be approximately $6500.00, however, it would be more cost effective if the paving is done before the boards are put in because it is easier to get the equipment in. After further discussion it was decided it would be best to put the in-line rink in the new rink at City Hall Park. C. Friends of the Park: Marty reported that the Friends of the Park will not be meeting in December. He said Moline Concrete has offered to help move the Shoreview building to the City Hall Park site. He suggested that we get quotes to have this done. He said they are also going to donate 12 concrete picnic tables. Marty said that Moline is very interested in building a business arm of Friends of the Park. George stated Moline Concrete should be recognized with plaques for the work at City Hall Park and the donation of tables. He feels they should also be recognition in the newspapers. E. Country Lakes Park: Marty explained this is OSM Project r. 5409.00. He discussed moving the parking lot from the commons area up to the West Shadow Lake Drive area. He said there was 6
