Mounds View City Council August 22. 1988 <br />Regular Meeting Page Six <br />Mayor Linke responded that there would not be <br />adequate room at Hillview Park for even a half <br />court rink. <br />Kay Weseman stated she would like to see the <br />residents contacted first for their input, as far <br />as how much they use it and their feelings on <br />having the rink moved. <br />Mayor Linke noted that Groveland Park would pro- <br />vide a better mix for the area and be more centrally <br />located in the northern section of the City. <br />Councilmember Hankner noted the Park and Rec Commis- <br />sion has done extensive research into this and they <br />have informed the residents of the considerations. <br />She added that she was very frustrated with the Council <br />trying to do what Staff is paid to do, as they have <br />been spending quite a bit of time in trying to figure <br />out the design. She added Council should set the <br />policy and Staff, who is being paid for their exper- <br />tise and educational backgrounds, should do the detail <br />and design work. <br />Councilmember Wuori reiterated she would not be <br />hp.ppy with the elimination of the hockey rink at <br />Hillview Park, and Staff should still look into the <br />feasibility of a half court'rink there. <br />Councilmember Hankner stated she would like Staff to <br />conduct an inter departmental inter disciplinary <br />study of having a half court rink at each park, while <br />considering the health 'nd safety issues. <br />Motion /Second: Blanchard /Hankner to table this and <br />send back to Staff with the discussion that has taken <br />place and have them bring it back to the Council at <br />the next agenda session. <br />3 ayes <br />2 nays Motion Carried <br />Mayor Linke and Councilmember Quick voted against the <br />motion. <br />Park Director Saarion clarified that she, Public Works <br />Director Minetor, Public Works Foreman Ulrich and <br />other members of the Park and Rec department had pro- <br />vided input into the proposed plans, as well as having <br />discussed it with New Brighton. She added she had <br />tried to be as inter disciplinary as possible, and <br />she will now contact Ramsey County for their input. <br />
