To that end, Commissioner Bowman <br /> addressed the Commission and requested greater <br /> input from each of the individual Commissioners <br /> in the planning process in all areas of park <br /> • <br /> development. The Commission once again reviewed <br /> their plans for the Ice Cream Social at Lambert <br /> Park and determined that a subcommittee consisting <br /> of Park and Recreation Director Anderson and <br /> Park Commissioner Bowman would work out the final <br /> details for the Sunday afternoon Social . <br /> RAMSEY COUNTY LEAF Staff reviewed a memorandum from Brian G <br /> COMPOSTING PROPOSAL of the Ramsey County Public Health Department, <br /> Environmental Health Division, which recommended <br /> 411 Mounds View as one of the four major leaf <br /> composting sites in Ramsey County. Staff <br /> indicated that they supported the concept of <br /> leaf composting and stated that it was staff ' s <br /> position that the Parks and Recreation Department <br /> should become involved in leaf composting as <br /> preservation of the environment and the natural <br /> resources was as integral a part of our depart- <br /> ment as park development, planning, and maintenance. <br /> Staff provided figures showing that approximately <br /> 10% of our solid waste problems within Ramsey <br /> County was comprised of grass clippings and leaf <br /> collection. <br /> Staff felt that there was three possible loca- <br /> tions for the leaf composting program: <br /> 1. Arden Park <br /> 2 . Greenfield Park <br /> 3 . Silver View Park <br /> After some discussion Commissioner Bowman <br /> recommended using the Moga property as a possible <br /> site location.
