Dazenski also noted that the materials are being donated and the fence project will be in conjunction with other concrete work at the park. 3b) Community Survey Status; Kroeger asked what is the status of sending out a survey and if so could this survey be combined with other City departments to save money. Miller stated that no further action had been taken and that she would check the budget for the availability of funds. Coughlin suggested that the survey be professionally done so that specific questions could be addressed. Motion made by Silvis to recommend to council that a professional survey be initiated focusing on Park and Recreation. 2nd by Mike Szepanski. Unanimously passed. 3e) Coughlin noted that the Parks and Recreation Commission previously passed, on a unanimous vote, a motion requiring that the Mounds View Community Program Committee be renamed the Mounds View Community Center Focus Group. Coughlin reiterated that the reason for the requested name change was that the Commission wanted to make it clear that it reserved for itself full advisory authority provided in the city code to the City Council in areas pertaining to recreational programming. Coughlin stated that Hillview Shelter is an unfinished business item even though it was not on the agenda and asked about the progress of the new shelter. Dazenski stated that the shelter is in the process of being constructed and is on schedule; completion date should be December 14, 2001. Kroeger stated that in the unfinished business of May 23, 2001 discussion occurred regarding the scheduling of the Greenfield Park field. Roepke stated that this would be taken care of by the YMCA. Also the maintenance of Edgewood field was discussed; it was determined that those using the field would maintain them but how to get the word out. Coughlin stated that this item would be more appropriate for February 2002 as Unfinished Business and will be addressed then.
