FffMO T0: Mark '� <br />FROM: Bruce F� <br />DATE: January 16, 1978 <br />RE: Lakeside Park Commission <br />After reviewing the current status and past history of the Lakeside Park <br />Comnission, the following has come to light: <br />1. Lakeside Park is an extremely valuable comnunity resource as it <br />presently is the onty lake frontage available for aquatic activities <br />serving the City of Mbunds View and Spring Lake Park. In addition <br />it is the only park that provides tennis courts, tot lot, ballfields <br />and picnic area far family programming. <br />2. The existing Lakeside Park Cammiscion is not operating as effective <br />as it possibly could be due to: <br />a. Poor attendance at Cortanission meetings <br />b. Lack of professional expertise <br />c. Apparent dissension amongst existing members <br />3. There is no long ran�qe goals or master plan developed for Lakeside Park. <br />4. Attendance at Commissian sponsored programs has dropped in recent years. <br />5. Operating costs are increasing yearly. <br />With the aforementioned criteria in mind, staff would recommend the following <br />plan of action for the development and upkeep of Lakeside Park. <br />7. Chapter 50 of +he Mounds View municipal code should be reviewed and <br />updat�u �y �; � ��cy CounciL �� �� <br />2. The Lakeside Park Commission should remain the "governing authority" <br />over Lakeside Park with the following board makeup: <br />a. Park and Recreation Directors from Spring Lake Park and Mounds View <br />b. City Councilperson from each city <br />c. A representative from each City Park and Recreation Comnission <br />d. One me�er at large from each community <br />Each of the Comnissioners would be official appointees from their respective <br />City Councils. <br />The Comnissions ro1e would be official appointees from their respective <br />City Councils. <br />The Commissions role would be policy and advisory oriented with legal authority <br />remaining with each respective City Council. <br />3. One municipality or county should be appointed as the responsible agent <br />for overseeing the day to day operations of Lakeside Park to Snclude, <br />maintenance, program and long range planning. <br />
