• MOUNDS VIEW Exhibit A <br /> Parks & Recreation Commission <br /> June 28, 2000, 6:30 p.m. <br /> Minutes <br /> Commissioners present: Rich Sonterre, Frank Silvis, Theresa Lexcen, Sherry Gunn, Stan <br /> McDonald, Dave Long, and Tony Zuk. <br /> Commissioners absent: Dawn Little, and Mike Szczepanski <br /> Staff present: Terri Blattenbauer(YMCA) <br /> A motion was made to approve the minutes from April 26 by Rich, seconded by Tony. A <br /> motion was also made to approve the minutes from a special meeting on June 22 by <br /> Sherry, seconded by Rich. <br /> Ron Nelson, a resident from Oakwood Drive was present to make a requisition to the <br /> Commission for some amenities for kids to utilize with bikes, in-line skates and <br /> skateboards. He has a concern for their safety. It is common for several youth to use the <br /> curbing in the Oakwood park area. His idea includes the use of volunteers and private <br /> • donations to support a project of this nature. Staff will check with neighboring <br /> communities who have such a structure to identify some specifics. This is an item that is <br /> a part of the "wish list" developed by the Commission. <br /> Cliff Ash a resident from Silver Lake Woods housing community was also present to <br /> discuss some issues with the Commission. He indicated the vistas have become <br /> overgrown, there are some dead trees along the path, and the cracks that were identified <br /> at an earlier meeting, have not been filled. Cliff believes this to be dangerous to users of <br /> the path. Cliff requested that the east bay of the pond be treated for the lily problem. He <br /> also added that there is a board missing on a northside bench, and boils forming on the <br /> new path. <br /> Staff reported on the YMCA summer programs being offered. Participant numbers have <br /> increased by 180 as a result of new programs from last summer. This is due primarily to <br /> the added quality, older, more mature staff, and overall enhancement. Staff speculates <br /> that end of the season evaluations will confirm this. Results will be shared with the <br /> Commission. Commissioners indicated that it may be more appealing to change the <br /> name of"Sr. Dining" to "Sr. Social". This may attract more participants. <br /> A memo regarding Spring Lake was briefly discussed. A resident sent a memo to the <br /> DNR regarding the management of the lake, fishing access, etc. He had not received any <br /> answers. The Commission was informed by staff that the lake is too shallow, there is not <br /> enough oxygen. The water comes from street run off and there is no other outlets. <br /> • <br />
