John Benham, Chairperson e Task Force Facilities Usage Long Range g 1507 Knoll Dr . Shoreview, Mn 55126 Dear Mr . Benham: The Mounds View City Council would like to go on record indicat- ing our strong support to ensure that adequate facilities are provided to accomodate the existing community education , recrea- tion and community based programs. As I am sure you are aware, 72 percent of the households in School District #621 do not have school age children . There currently exists a myriad of commun- ity organizations, municipal recreation programs, and community education program offerings that provide services to not only the 28 percent of families with school age children , a well as the remaining 72 percent of the households. The Edgewood Community Center currently provides services for not only Mounds View residents, but the School District on a whole . it is my understanding that you have already received a copy of the Edgewood Community Center usage report, but I would also like to update the School District data to include the City usage of the facility. The City of Mounds View currently manages the pool facility at Edgewood from 7: 00 a.m. - 10 : 00 p.m. , Monday - Satur- day and is a primary user of the gym faci l i ties . Our current pool usage on a district-wide basis is as follows ( based on final 1984 figures, see enclosed report) : 1 . The City of Mounds View currently offers aquatics instruction in 14 different areas ranging from waterbabies to arthritic exercise . 2. Total swim lesson participation in 1984 involved over 1 , 300 participants .
