MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> 1111 <br /> FROM: Staff <br /> ])ATE: January 3 , 1984 <br /> RE: Review of Guidelines for <br /> Neighborhood Park Planning Fund <br /> Attached is a copy of staff ' s memorandum dated October 25 , 1983 <br /> regarding an updated version of the neighborhood park planning <br /> fund guidelines. We have received the $2 ,000 from Honeywell to <br /> get the program off the ground , as well as the $7 , 500 budgeted <br /> from the Mounds View City Council for park projects. We need to <br /> begin finalizing these guidelines and establish a process as to <br /> how the funds might be disseminated. In addition , we need to <br /> have some general discussion as to how you would like staff to <br /> market this concept to other industries and agencies in the <br /> met :opolitan area. <br /> As a sidelight to that program, staff has been in contact with <br /> Mr. Rudy Ashford , the grants coordinator , in San Francisco, CA <br /> regarding the establishment of a fitness trail at Silver View <br /> Park. I have submitted a preliminary grant application for <br /> $2, 500 which has been tentatively approved to develop a fitness <br /> trail at Silver View Park. As can be noted in the attached <br /> sheet , the cost for a fitness or jogging course is $7 , 000 - <br /> $7 , 500 which would bring the net cost to the City of approximate- <br /> ly $5,000. Staff feels that this might be one program that could <br /> be funded through the park planning fund and would request any <br /> inp.rt or direction you might have on this subject. Staff will be <br /> providing copies of a more detailed brochure outlining the Wells <br /> Fargo National Fitness Program at Thursday' s meeting . <br /> Shoild you have any questions regarding the preliminary guide- <br /> lines or jogging/fitness trail information , feel free to contact _. <br /> staff directly at 784-3055 , ext. *41 . <br /> BKA/sll <br /> Attachment <br /> • <br />
