MEMO TO: Mounds View City Council <br />PItOM: Bruce K. Anderson, Dir(ctc _ <br />Parks, Iecreation and I'6 s / <br />UATE: October 6, 19113 <br />III.-: Silvur View Park Grand Opening <br />The Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission has set Saturday, <br />October 29 as the grand opening date for Silver View Park. in <br />addition to some type of brief presentation or ceremony at Silver <br />View Park, the Park Board will also be kicking off the City's <br />leaf composting program at Ardan Park on that particular day with <br />a speaker, demonstration and other related activities at Ardan <br />Park. <br />Staff has met with a sub -committee from the Park Board and it <br />is their desire to have a brief ceremony with the Park Commission <br />and City Council at Silver View Park at noon on Saturday the 29th <br />to inaugurate the park site. Their thoughts were that we could <br />construct a park sign, similar to the other park signs at our <br />local neighborhood parks. We could then hang the official park <br />sign as a symbol of the opening of Silver View Park. <br />Unfortunately, we do not have a park sign at Silver View Park at <br />this time or the monies budgeted to complete such as project. We <br />have constructed the park signs, in house at a cost of $250.00 <br />for materials, routing of the sign, painting and installation. <br />Should the City Council feel this is a project worthy of funding <br />or consideration, it would need to be budgeted out of the City's <br />contingency account. Staff feels that if this project were <br />approved, we could commence conscruution <br />Of the sign immediately <br />and have it ready for the hanging of the routed sign by the City <br />Council on Saturday, October 29. <br />The specific itinerary for "Park Day" on Saturday, October 29 is <br />as follows: <br />12 - 12:15 p.m. Hanging of park sign and official <br />ribbon cutting ceremony to designate <br />the grand opening of Silver View <br />Park. <br />12:15 - 1:00 p.m. Park Commission members would be on <br />hand to provide tours of Silver View <br />Park and explain the existing <br />facilities and future improvements <br />slated for Silver View. <br />
