• S. <br /> ��►• f 0 V0dVQ <br /> it <br /> RAMSEY COUNTY,MINNESOTA <br /> GATEWAY TO THE NORTH 2401 HIGHWAY 10 <br /> MOUNDS VIEW, MINN. 55112 <br /> 784-3055 <br /> June 29 , 1987 <br /> Mr. Richard Kops <br /> 2147 Oakwood Dr. <br /> Mounds View, MN 55112 <br /> Dear Mr. Kops: <br /> During our regularly scheduled Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> meeting, your concerns of foul balls coming onto your property from <br /> Oakwood Park field was considered and discussed. All the <br /> Commissioners were given copies of your past letters and <br /> correspondences concerning this issue. The Commission also visited <br /> the site as a group. <br /> • It was the consensus of the Park and Recreation Commission that the <br /> current policy continue to be followed for these reasons : <br /> 1 . Use of City parks cannot always be controlled. Residents have <br /> the right to use park grounds for leisure recreational pursuits . <br /> 2 . The City has limited ballfield space for the interest and needs, <br /> and therefore, cannot put limits as to the specified team use of <br /> the ballfields. Most teams reserve fields suitable to their <br /> skills. All teams do not use the permit system and in such a <br /> case, the Park and Recreation Department has no control of its <br /> use . League games are scheduled by the Park and Recreation <br /> Department according to the skills and field requirements <br /> appropriate to each league. <br /> In conclusion, the Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> considers the current policy of ballfield use appropriate and does <br /> not desire to change to a policy which would set limits to the use <br /> of leisure recreational activity in the parks. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Wayne Burmeister, Chairperson <br /> Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> 110 WB/sl <br /> cc: Mayor and City Council <br />
