REPORTS Council Member Marty reported the Park and Recreation Commission had requested he bring before the Council a request to approach Ramsey County to examine relocating the compost site, from Ardan Park to the golf course. He stated Golf Course Superintendent John Hammerschmidt had suggested this previously, in light of the amount of the compost utilized by the golf course. He stated this would provide that the compost site was accessible to the golf course, and there is sufficient room for this. He noted they had also discussed the reclamation of Ardan Park as a park area. He explained they did not feel the residents in the area would be opposed to the removal of the brush and compost from the area. He commented that Ramsey County would have the final word on this matter. Mayor Coughlin inquired if Council Member Marty would request this matter be discussed at an upcoming Work Session. Council Member Marty stated he would. Mayor Coughlin stated it was the consensus of the Council to add this item to the agenda for discussion at an upcoming Work Session. Council Member Marty noted discussion regarding retro-fitting the park bleachers at City Hall and Greenfield Park would be considered during the next meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission, in order to bring these into compliance with the new State Statutes. Council Member Marty stated the Park and Recreation Commission was presently obtaining bids for the volleyball court lighting fixtures. He informed the Council that the pathway along a portion of Silver Lake Road and Silver View Pond had been completed, and they had done a very good job. He commented he and his children had visited the site the prior evening, and there were many visitors present. Council Member Marty stated the project of upgrading the drinking fountains in some of the parks had been approved to proceed, and the two half-court basketball courts at the Community Center have been completed, and are open for public use.
