MEMO T0: Parks and Recrzation Commissioners <br />FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Director Parks, R�cr2ation & Forestry <br />O1�TE: October 25, 1979 <br />RE: Possible Consultant Qu=stions <br />During the next two ���eeks the Park Conunission o-+ill be hearing a numbzr of <br />presentations from local planning firms and one of the issues each agency <br />has raised is an opportunity to respond to the Commiss�ioners concerns and <br />questions. I am sure each of you have your o�xn specific questions concern- <br />ing the development of the comprehensive plan and the relationship between <br />the planning firm and the Comanission, and I eiould strongiy encourage you to <br />ask them following the firm's presentations. <br />To assist you with this process, I have developed the fotlowing questions <br />that may be of interest to the Commiss9on: <br />7. What do you invision the role of the consultant firm between the: <br />a. Staff <br />b. Planning Commission <br />c. City Council <br />2. What basic design concepts would your firm emptoy to kezp both main- <br />tenance and vandalism costs down in the developrent of the Mounds <br />View park system? <br />3. Has your firm had any direct experierce in working r�ith park refer- � <br />endums, if yes, vihat is your success ratio? � <br />4. What new trends or programs do you foresee the Parks and Recreatian <br />profession becoming involved in that v�e should be planning for now? <br />5. Bath tit athletic corr�p7exes and undergrouod irrigation systems have <br />been under serious scrutiny during the past fiv= years because of the <br />Smpending ener9y crunch. Do you have any thoughts of relationship of <br />direct benefit to energy consumption regarding lit facilities and <br />irrigation systems. <br />Once agatn, these are merely potentiat questions and I would encourage you to <br />raise your concerns first. <br />
