V MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Staff • DATE: June 26 , 1985 RE: Greenfield Park Update As you are aware , Staff is proposing a brief tour of Greenfield Park prior to the Commission meeting on Thursday, but a brief up- date as to our progress to date is as follows : 1 . We have completed the first lift for the tennis court/basket- ball/bang board area . 2. The underground wiring has been installed for the tennis courts as well as pouring of the footings for the light standards. 3 . Fence posts should be in place by Thursday evening for the exterior perimeter fence . 4 . The initial trail base and a small section of bituminous trail section has been laid. 5. The additional fill has finally been secured and should be on site by Thursday. 11116. Staff is meeting with the Rice Creek Watershed District on Wednesday, June 26 to receive formal approval for the two bridge crossings. 7 . A grant has been received for Twin City Tree Trust for staff- ing and supplies for the construction of the bridges. 8 . We have dug and framed the footings for the first bridge and cleared out the trail area . 9 . The storm sewer extension has been completed. 10. The trail loop has been roughed in with the D3 cat and is ready for the base to be applied. Staff will be reviewing major site problems at Thursday' s tour. The one item that recently came up this week is the "flip- flopping" of the tennis court/basketball area , to minimize the construction damage to the two red oaks on the westside of the tennis court area. Staff has also included a copy of some cor- respondence with Midwest Asphalt indicating some of the modifica- tions and changes that have been made to date with the contrac- tor . Once again , we will be touring this site on Thursday evening to give you a first hand observation of our park progress to date. • BKA/sll Attac hment
