April 27 minutes <br />Page three <br />DISCUSSION OF PLANS FOR PARK <br />DEDICATION MONIES FROM SYSCO The Commission discussed options for the use of the $50,000 <br />park dedication fees from the SYSCO development project. <br />Director Saarion stated that this is most likely the last park <br />dedication monies the City will be receiving. Possible projects <br />suggested were: <br />1. Installation of water and sewer to the Silver View Park <br />Shelter Building to be built this summer by the Mounds <br />View Lion's Club. <br />2. Improvements to Oakwood Park. <br />Savings program for replacement of equipment as <br />needed. <br />Commissioner Starr stated that she wanted the park dedication <br />monies spent to complete the parks as much as possible now, <br />rather than save the money for future years. Director Saarion <br />added that items being installed currently in parks have a long <br />lifespan and are as maintenance -free as possible, so it is <br />advantageous to presently enhance the park facilities for <br />greater use. <br />O•*0 1T.. <br />SITE PLAN OPTIONS Commissioner Burmeister asked staff if any decisions had been <br />made regarding Oakwood Park. Director Saarion stated that <br />before any improvements could be done at Oakwood Park, <br />grading needs to be done. <br />The Commission discussed in length the possibility of replacing <br />the backstop, changing the location of the ballfield, developing <br />the Greenfield side of the park first, putting in playground <br />equipment on the Greenfield side along with the picnic table <br />and grill which is already purchased. Director Saarion stated <br />that playground equipment for Oakwood Park was budgetted <br />for in the 1990 capital improvements. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Silvis, seconded by <br />Commissioner Stevenson to direct staff to get cost estimates for <br />future development of Oakwood Park and the area of <br />Greenfield Park on Quincy and Hillview Road using reserve <br />park improvement funds to be replenished with monies from <br />the SYSCO park dedication monies. Motion carried: 5 ayes, <br />0 nays. <br />St&l � L Director Saarion requested Commission direction regarding the <br />UVB installation of sewer and water at Silver View. <br />A motion was made by Chairperson Burmeister, seconded by <br />Commission Starr to use reserve monies in park dedication <br />fund to proceed with the installation of sewer and water at <br />Silver View in the most cost efficient manner as possible, and <br />to ask the City Council for additional funds to complete the <br />project if needed. Motion carried: 5 ayes, 0 nays. <br />
