ARSENAL ATHLETIC <br /> COMPLEX UPDATE: Directors Saarion received information which was requested <br /> by the Commission at the last meeting regarding the Arsenal <br /> Athletic Complex proposal. This proposal had been <br /> • stagnated because of the Army's problem with the land <br /> having pollutants. In the meantime, the Army has made <br /> negotiations with the City of Arden Hills to offer land for a <br /> new City Hall and maintenance facility for Arden Hills. In <br /> addition, land would be donated for an athletic complex. <br /> However, the land offered is far from Mounds View, with <br /> entries off of Lexington or Hwy 96. Whereas, the prior <br /> location of the Arsenal Athletic Complex was most <br /> convenient to Mounds View, (located just across 35W from <br /> our borders) the new location would be the furthest away <br /> bordering Arden Hills and Shoreview. <br /> Because of this new set of circumstances, the Parks and <br /> Recreation Commission is not as interested in the joint <br /> project as before. <br /> LAND ACROSS FROM <br /> CITY HALL: The circumstances of the land located across from City Hall <br /> was reviewed. After discussion, Chairperson Burmeister <br /> made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Dentz to follow <br /> the original Storm Water Management Plan and if <br /> opportunities arise, the Commission will look into <br /> possibilities further. Motion passed unanimously. 7 ayes, 0 <br /> • nayes. <br /> PARK PROJECTS <br /> UPDATE: Director Saarion reported on projects that have been <br /> completed and those yet under construction including Silver <br /> View culvert, Greenfield culvert, Random Park building, and <br /> Lambert Park playground. <br /> OTHER BUSINESS: Commissioner Silvis and Councilmember Wuori reported on <br /> the activities of the MVCT. <br /> ADJOURNMENT: Meeting was adjourned. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Mary Saarion, irector <br /> Parks, Recreation and Forestry <br /> I . <br />
