MEMO TO: Mounds View City Council Mr. Donald F. Pauley, Clerk -Administrator FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Director Parks, Recreation and Forestry DATE: August 19, 1982 RE: Silver View Park The Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission met at their regular scheduled July meeting on July 22, 1982. They reviewed a number of issues at their scheduled meeting, one of them being the current progress and status of Silver View Park. Staff indicated that at this time the Phase I development has basically been completed with a number of contracts not approved due to poor quality. One of those items that was not approved was the seeding phase of the contract through J and S Sod and Service. Staff forwarded the figures to the commission indicating a positive balance of approximately $5,806.95 in the Silver View Park account and the Park Commission made a motion to have the soccer field sodded rather than the existing poor quality of the seed. The specific motion was made by Cormissioner Dennehy, seconded by Commissioner Silvis to direct staff to request from the Mounds View City Council that a dollar figure not to exceed $3,000.00 he allocated for the sodding of the soccer field at Silver View Park. The motion passed unanamously. The rationale behind the commissions decision on this issue is that the city currently does not have a full sized soccer or football field within the city's park system. The soccer/football field at Silver View Park would receive an extensive amount of use and should be developed in its highest possible level, Should the Council desire this scheduled approvement it would leave us a balance of approximately $2,800.00 in the Silver View Park fund and the sodding could be completed internally by city staff using summer C.E.T.A. crew hopefully be- fore the year is out. If you should have any questions, staff will be on hand at Monday's meeting to discuss the issue at greater lengths. DKA/sII
