Adding up the build out costs and additional <br /> • insurance alone would put us into a rather deep hole. If the user fees do not cover the <br /> operational cost (and then some), we would really be up a crick and I think you know <br /> which one. <br /> Please don't take this as a bashing!! As I stated in the meeting, I raced competitive BMX <br /> for three years in the '80's and was even nationally ranked for over a year. However, as a <br /> businessman I have also learned that you can't try to be everything to everybody. In fact <br /> those who do usually fail. As a city of four square miles with deteriorating parks and paths <br /> we already have more to fix than our current, and probably future budgets can afford. I <br /> guess I like the thought of working with Ramsey County and Rice Creek on projects to <br /> enhance more concrete activities at little or no cost. <br /> Sorry it got a bit long, but I wanted to share this before we lost sight of our original goal of <br /> park repairs/improvements. <br /> Thanks, Rich. <br /> 0 <br /> • <br /> 6/30/00 <br />
