-2- <br /> USE OF OAKWOOD PARK Staff referred to a letter written by <br /> • resident Richard Kops regarding the use of <br /> the Oakwood ballfield. Staff explained that <br /> the majority of ballfields in the City of <br /> Mounds View had homes near the fields . <br /> Staff explained the permit system and use <br /> of fields. The Park Department does the <br /> scheduling of games . <br /> Staff indicated that the request that <br /> Oakwood Park be limited to only t-ball teams <br /> would be very difficult , not only because <br /> of the limited availability of fields, but <br /> because the Park Department can only <br /> control the use of teams who go through our <br /> permit system. 'Teams who schedule practices <br /> without permits and neighborhood pick up <br /> games are not controlled. Also the lack of <br /> ballfield space offered limited <br /> alternatives. <br /> The Commission discussed the issue and <br /> concluded that the current ballfield use <br /> policy should remain the same. Chairperson <br /> Burmeister stated that he would send Mr. <br /> Kops a letter informing him of the <br /> • Commissions decision. <br /> OLD BUSINESS Portable Classroom: The portable <br /> classroom building location was still under <br /> consideration and that the Commissioners <br /> are welcome to give the Council input. <br /> Summer Program Update : Summer programs <br /> are under way.
