Sonterre also suggested that the excess or surplus could be put back into the park dedication fund or put the money towards an inspector that will be inspecting all of the parks and shelters. Kroeger asked the commission for their opinion. Silvis agreed with the asphalt placement for the basketball hoops. Kroeger thought the proposal to the council could recognize that the City is losing a basketball court and may want to address in the future the need to replace it. Dazenski stated that Greenfield Park would be the best choice. Krueger added to the proposal that the City is losing two'/2 court basketball courts and the commission will probably be pursuing replacing them elsewhere in Mounds View. Sonterre stated to also dedicate any surplus at that time of the proposal to the council. Kunz moved that any surplus funds after the infrastructure and equipment purchases of a skate park be set aside for the relocating of the basketball hoops removed from the Community Center to another park in Mounds View. (The park location will be determined later.) Kroeger 2nd the motion. Discussion: Edmond stated he doesn't see any reason why the hoops could not sit idle for a while. Kroeger reiterated that there is a lot of interest in the skate park by the community. But, he also has concerns regarding the existing conditions of the parks. Two shelter buildings need to be addressed and he is concerned about spending this money at this time on a skate park. Mendoza expressed that he has reservations about making a decision now. He doesn't know enough information on the conditions of the parks, etc. to make a decision on a skate park. Kroeger stated that the commission should now take a vote on the motion presented. Mendoza: Abstained Silvis: Aye Kroeger: Nay Kunz: Aye Edmond: Nay Kroeger stated that he would like to see existing buildings taken care of. Need an inspector to evaluate the buildings. 0
