She was told the material Is at City Hall but Mr. Hanson has not picked up the material . The fence for the protection of spectators has not been errected as stated in the minutes of June 28, 1976 Council meeting. The Park is usually in good shape. Sunrise Mr. Ringaman stated that the newest ball diamond is still there and so are the porblems. He noted the Council has directed the problem back to the Park Board, although, he thought that is was settled by the Park Board n motion to remove the balifield. He wondered if the Council misunderstood the Boards intention to remove the balifield. Mr. Schneider asked Mr. Ringaman if the problem in the area stems only from this balifield? Mr. Ringaman said there was another balifield in the area. Mr. Schneider suggested there may be a breakdown in communications between the Council and the Park Board. Mr. Schneider suggested that since the''Council has given permission to use the area for a balifield the situation should be tabled. There should be nothing done, no removal and no upgrading. Mr. Ringaman stated that one of the pieces of playground equipment that is mounted on springs is broken and others are loose and needs attention. He noted this was brought to Mr. Volk's attention this spring but nothing was done nor Is the equipment being checked periodically. Mr. Schneider asked if it would help to check with Mr. Volk personally about items that need attention. Then if no action is taken by Mr. Volk, it could be brought to the Park Boards attention. Mr. Ringaman felt the painting at Sunrise was not being done. The Youth Work Program was discussed. It was felt that the Youth could be doing more or making better use of their time. Mr. Ringaman asked what is to be done with the brush that is piled up at Sunrise. Will it be hauled to City Hall? La Motte Park Mr. Gredvig and Mr. Simonson of LaMotte Drive looked at the 60' access to Centerville Lake this evening. There is heavy brush and weeds on the lot. Mr. Gredvig would like to see the access prepared properly so that all City residents can use it. The issue is; is it worth putting in the access? Mr. Ringaman read the June 28, 1976 Council minutes in regard to this matter. Mr. SChnaiderasked if there is any opposition from the area residents? Page -2- July 19, 1976 '~ Mr. Simonson said possibly the neighbor directly adjoining the access. He also said area residents would do the work. Mr. Schneider said he will follow-up on the matter and contact Mr. Simonson on Tuesday or Wednesday. City Hail Park Mr. Resch said City Hall Park is in fairly good condition. He would like to know what is going to be done with the diseased trees. Mrs. Anderson is to follow-up with Mr. Volk. Mrs. Liljedahl read a letter from the Lino Lakes Area Recreation Assn.

Discussion followed regarding matters brought before the Council and reject- ed. Something always €nterfers with the Boards plans. Mrs. Liljedahl asked if Sunrise could be used by the L.L.A.R.A. More dis- cussion followed. Mr. Ringaman asked what happened to Mr. Mobley's report on the storage barn at Sunrise Park. Mrs. Liljedahl asked what is going to happen with the pro- posed parking lot at City Hall Park. She felt that if it is left to die now It will not be done next year either. Mr. Ringaman suggusted that a file be established. Each proposed project could be numbered and put in one convenient place. This would help keep all Park Board projects in one place and eliminate re-doing an entire project If it is t brought up agAln. Mrs. Anderson Is to set up such a file. Mr. Gredvig suggested drawing up a priority list of things to be done. Mr. Resch said the next meeting will be devoted to the budget.
