<br /> <br />4. There was the suggestion of starting an “ADOPT-A-PARK” program. Would the Commissioners be <br /> interested in pursuing this? Could encourage area residents, families, and businesses or organizations to “Adopt-a-Park” to clean up and contact city staff <br /> if major damage or repairs are needed. <br /> How do we advertise? <br /> Could we post a sign at the park for groups committing to do this? <br /> Expectations to consider: length of time to commit, frequency of cleaning, contact person <br /> First step to get the word out to determine interest. Kroeger will put an advertisement together for the Mounds View Matters, City cable channel and website <br /> <br />4. Other New Business? <br /> a) Revisit fee schedule for field and park building rental <br /> Need to consider: classification of organizations, defining “event,” and who is getting the “free <br /> event” per week so individual coaches are not reserving the field rotating weeks so as to get them for free. <br /> <br /> b) How to increase adult softball leagues with business sponsorship. Combine with local cities, especially with co-ed leagues. Offering existing or past leagues to re-establish at <br /> a discounted rate. Try to get past participants to take charge to build the program. <br /> <br />c) Pickleball: Looking for commission direction. Where do we go from here? <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />g) Park Tour: Lakeside, Woodcrest, Random, Silverview, and Lambert Parks were toured. <br />Possible improvements include: <br /> <br />Lakeside Lions Park: nothing needed attention. Suggestion of promoting a bandshell and/or community band in the park. <br /> <br />Woodcrest: 1) Level border of playground. 2) Add wood chips to playground. Clearing of trees has helped with visibility Trees have been cleared and wood chips will be delivered July <br /> 9. Chips were a week late, they have been placed at Woodcrest, Oakwood, MVCC, S.V., Greenfield, <br /> <br />Silverview: 1) Fill and level horseshoe pits and adjust posts. 2) Suggestion to get MVCC to develop horseshoe league. 3) Develop tee boxes for disc golf course. 4) fill area around <br /> bench swings. 5) fill cracks in basketball court 6) possibility of tot lot playground near softball fields. <br />Horseshoe pits completed and disk golf will be completed later in the season. <br /> <br />Random: Line basketball court <br />Later this season. Picnic tables and grill were installed June 25, 2008. <br /> <br />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. <br /> City staff is working with Eagle Scout to repair roof section this summer…… This roof project has been done . <br /> <br />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. <br /> Kroeger will contact SLP to determine interest in co-sponsoring future events. <br /> <br />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?
