Lambert: 1) roof damage needs to be fixed and eventually replaced 2) discussed repair or replacing building as not efficient for heating and cooling 3) basketball backboard needs adjusting. City staff is working with Eagle Scout to repair roof section this summer. h) Promoting Lakeside Lions Park: Have “band nights.” Encourage communities to have different nights for families and music. Teen garage bands, bluegrass bands, hired bands, etc. Kroeger contacted SLP city staff who indicated that in the past, Mounds View received an arts grant that supplied the bands and there was no city control over who came to play. There would be difficulty in setting this up and, of course, a cost involved to pay the bands. i) Off-leash dog park. Where could we put one in Mounds View? Oakwood, north of Hillview? Arden, behind compost? Oakwood north on Quincy along freeway? Need to fence, chip, and gate areas? Encourage commissioners to look at site options and existing dog park behind Fridley water tower off of University Ave for a fenced example. 7.
