MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission 1111 FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Director Parks, Recreation and Forestry DATE: June 25, 1985 RE: Monthly staff update - June , 1986 The following issues and programs are outlined to provide the Commission with an overview of our department ' s day to day opera- tion . Each of the listed items are strictly informational and not intended for formal Commission action. 1 . Puppet wagon truck. The City has purchased a new puppet wagon from Care Heating and Air Conditioning. The vehicle is a 1981 one ton step van which will be used during the remainder of the year in the water and sewer department as an emergency vehicle. We are excited about having a new puppet wagon , as the existing vehicle is in extremely poor condi- tion . • 2. "Arts in the Park" . We had our second "Arts in the Park"pro- gram on Tuesday, June 24, 1986 at Silver View Park. The Eclectic Co. performed , and it was attended by approximately 35 - 50 residents. We feel the program is a very positive addition to our existing programming efforts and hope to have this item placed in the budget permanently in 1987. 3. Community Theater project. Enclosed is a flyer outlining the "Music Man" production which we will be doing during the month of July. We have been actively involved in rehearsals during the past six weeks, and are very excited to follow up on our success last year with "Oklahoma" . It is our desire to have the Community Theater program become self-sufficient in 1987 and we are hoping for a positive financial success again so that the group will be able to work on their own without City financial assistance . 4. Park maintenance. We have been fortunate to get eight J. P. T.A. employees once again during the summer of 1986. They began work on Thursday, June 10, 1986 . The program, is working well , and we will be concentrating on three major projects including chipping of the trail at Silver View, painting of the City hockey boards , and installation of new playground equipment.
