MEMO TO: Mounds View Park & Recreation Commissioners 4111 FROM: Bruce' K,y • w. - , Director Parks, Re r - titin and Forestry DATE: January 28, 1986 RE: Joint Meeting with New Brighton Park Board Staff forwarded a letter in the January 22 correspondence which indicated an invitation from the New Brighton Park Board to hold a joint park board meeting with the City of New Brighton on Tues- day, February 11 . One of the major topic items will be Long Lake Regional Park, which will be presented by the New Brighton Park and Recreation Board , but they have also asked each of the other. Park Boards to provide an issue of discussion for the group at large . To that end , I would like to propose that the Park Com- mission hold a general discussion on items that could be reviewed and suggest the following items as possible topic areas : Long Range The FacilitY Usage e Task Force would be a current • relevent topic which I feel might be appropriate for Mounds View to provide the impetus in this discussion since the Edgewood Community Center is located in our City. 2. The Cities of Mounds View and New Brighton have entered into a number of joint powers agreements including forestry, pup- pet wagon and potentially aquatics, for joint staffing . Possibly some discussion could be generated regarding poss- ible joint powers agreements with other park and recreation agencies to improve services at a lower possible cost. 3 . The concept of developing a School District-wide recreational survey to determine what recreational programming needs should be reviewed and analyzed on a distict-wide basis. This an area that has never been accomplished other than a community education survey that was done approximately two years ago , and a possible study on the recreational opportun- ities on a School District-wide basis would be of interest.
