MEMO TO: Mounds view City Council FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Director Parks, Recreation and Forestry DATE: August 8, 1985 RE: Code Modification Staff would propose that Chapter 50, Parks and Playgrounds out- lining the Lakeside Park Agreement, be eliminated from the City Code. The Lakeside Park Commission has not functioned as a Com- mission for the past four years and we currently operate the facility under a joint powers agreement with the City of Spring Lake Park whereby the City of Mounds View manages the day-to-day operations of the beach and the City of Spring Lake Park provides the maintenance. I have been in contact with City Attorney Karney regarding how this item should be addressed, and he has not returned my call to date. I would envision that we would have to formally eliminate this item at a future Council meeting. Chapter 51 relates to the Director of Parks and Recreation De- partment's position and the only modification that I would recom- mend is under subdivision 2, number 1; that the two years experi- ence be increased to three to five years for minimum experience at a community park and/or recreation program in a supervisory capacity. Chapter 52. This item would be modified under Chapter 52.05 mod- ifying the curfew to read, "between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Under 92.03 sub -section 3, have the term "red oak tree" as we are currently only tagging red oaks, as they are the only trees that can cause a problem over land and that is currently all we are marking on public property. Under sub -section 92.05, eliminate the word "certified", as we currently save approximately $80 - $100 each year by not using "certified" and we have not had a problem in the past years using regular first class mail. Should you have any questions regarding these modifications, feel free to contact staff directly at 784-3055, ext. #20. BKA/sll
