MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission 4111 FROM: Staff DATE: January 3 , 1984 RE: December , 1983 staff report The following items are issues that do not require official Com- miasion action but will hopefully provide a better update of re- cent activities and issues that have occurred within our depart- me n t 1 . MEED Grant - The Mounds View City Council has formally approved the hiring of seven ( 7 ) individuals through the Min- nesota Job Training Act. The initial grant was submitted in early October and we currently have four ( 4 ) individuals working in Public Works; one as the City receptionist; one in finance , and one working as the healthy lifestyle/wellness coordinator . Each of the peoples are employed for a six month period and they do not cost the City any money. The maintenance employees have been extremely important as we have been able to accomplish many tasks that we were unable to complete in prior years. In addition , with the hiring of LeAnn Linder as our wellness coordinator, we are able to ex- plore some new program areas which we would not have been able to do with our existing staffing levels. 4111 2. Groveland Park Foundation - Staff has included the November- December Groveland Park Newsletter for your review. Their two recent projects include a boutique and bake sale which made over $600 and they once again are coordinating the win- ter skating program. Staff has been working with the Grove- land Park Foundation during the past four months in develop- ing a more formal organization through the creation of by-laws and hopefully will have some type of a Board of Directors by spring of 1984 . 3. Cross Country Ski Project - Eagle Scout Matt Rowley has been working on the development of a. cross country ski trail at Silver View Park during the past three weeks. We have groom- ed the trail on three separate occasions and have secured the use of the New Brighton track setter and have a fairlysub- stantial trail system throughout the park. The next project that needs to be completed is a rest area to put on skis and boots which should be completed in the next week . 4 . Edgewood Pool Painting The Edgewood Community Center pool has received a new painting and general cleansing during the past three weeks. The pool had not been painted in the past twenty years and as you could imagine is a very welcome and positive improvement, to our aquatics program. 4111 . ..nat • ee
