<br /> <br />Concerning BBC Donations <br /> <br />From January 27, 2007 minutes: <br /> <br />Bethlehem Baptist Church: Dedication of Funds – Annually the Bethlehem Baptist Church makes donations to several charitable organizations. It would be advantageous for the City to create <br /> a list of civic items that would benefit from such a donation and submit this to the Bethlehem Baptist Church. <br />Ideas include: <br />Supporting improvements at Oakwood Park—Toddler playground equipment? Disc Golf? <br />Improving ball fields, specifically an artificial pitching mound at Greenfield Park ($3500?) <br />Permanent field lining <br />JoxBox at home plates <br /> <br /> <br />From April 26, 2007 minutes: <br /> <br />Greenfield Baseball Field - The Commission wanted to know the cost of an artificial turf pitchers mound for Greenfield Park. That cost has been determined to be $4,000.00 (includes shipping). <br /> <br />There is an option to have a self weighted, roll up tarp (with roller). Tarp cost $800 Roller apparatus $400. Motion by Long, 2nd by Aukee to purchase tarp / roller set up along with <br /> artificial mound. Motion Passed 5-0 <br />Commission wanted to see if the associations would provide contributions for this item. Also look at Jox Boxes at $800 per box. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Suggested ideas to work from for park memorials: <br /> <br />The Mounds View Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Commission recommends the following policy for residents wishing to place memorials in city parks: <br />Resident(s) will be allowed to request any city park for their memorial, to be approved by the Commission. <br />Resident(s) will agree to pay for the cost of proposed memorial and installation. <br />Resident(s) will work with city staff to purchase a product similar to existing park equipment so it will compliment or enhance existing park aesthetics. <br />If a tree is requested, resident(s) will work with the city forester to purchase a tree of desirable type for preferred park location. <br />Resident(s) will pay for a plaque, if desired, to attach on or near the memorial. <br />The Mounds View Parks Department will provide for general upkeep of the memorial, as it fits with any regular park maintenance. <br />The City of Mounds View will not pay to replace any memorial that is damaged beyond repair by vandalism or weather-related incidents. However, the resident(s) will be notified if such <br /> an incident occurs. <br />The Mounds View Parks, Recreation, and Forestry Commission will make every effort to work with resident(s) to honor the memorial request and make a recommendation to the Mounds View <br /> City Council for final approval.
