MEMO T0: Mounds View Park & Recreation Commissioners <br /> FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Director <br /> Parks, Recreation and Forestry <br /> DATE: January 28, 1986 <br /> RE: Long Range Facilities Usage Task Force <br /> Staff has enclosed a copy of the Long Range Facilities Usage Task <br /> Force report, which is a 51 page document outlining the proposed <br /> recommendations from the School District appointed Task Force <br /> regarding. future school facilities. The reason this item is on <br /> the agenda is that the impact of reverting Edgewood Community <br /> Center to a K-12 school facility will have major impact on our <br /> department. <br /> I have enclosed a copy of a draft letter that will be forwarded <br /> to John Benham from the Mounds View City Council in reaction to <br /> the Task Force report, as well as a position statement staff is <br /> proposing to the Community Education Advisory Council . Our <br /> department would be directly impacted , not only through our <br /> aquatics program being cancelled during the day, but also through <br /> the extensive utilization of the Community Center in other park <br /> and recreation programming areas. <br /> • Staff ' s position is fairly clear in both the letter from the City <br /> Council and to the Community Education Advisory Council , and I <br /> would encourage some input and discussion regarding the Long <br /> Range Facilities Usage Task Force report, and any additional <br /> action or position the Park Commission feels should he taken on <br /> behalf of the department or the City in general . <br /> In conclusion , I would like to recommend that if you do not have <br /> time to review the entire report, that you read pages 26 through <br /> 29 which talks about the specific recommendations to the School <br /> Board as well as the assumptions and limitations that were deter- <br /> mined by the Task Force . One last item on this issue is that the <br /> School Board formally received this issue from the Task Force on <br /> Monday, January 27 and they will he reviewing it at a public <br /> 3 at the Edgewood Community Center, <br /> hearingon Monday, February9 <br /> and aublic hearinghas been scheduled at Thursday, February 6 <br /> P <br /> at Mounds View Senior High School . <br /> Should you have any questions regarding this issue or require <br /> additional information prior to Thursday evening ' s meeting , feel <br /> free to contact myself directly at 784-3055 , ext. #20 . <br /> BKA/sll <br /> Enclosure <br /> 41/1 <br />
