April 7, 1980 Page 3 <br />seperate issue we are atso one of the few coimmnities without a County branch <br />library. The current annual budget for Lakeside Park is E20,000. which is <br />placing an ever increasing burden on each of the two communities Mounds View <br />and Spring Lake Park. Although E10,000. per comnunity sounds negllgible in <br />round figures it represents a sizeable percentage of our annual budgets, For <br />Mounds View it would reflect 16.8% of the annual park operating budget of <br />59,561. and would represent 12% of the $83,631 recreat5on budget in Spring <br />Lake Park. <br />In conctusion it would be the position of the Lakeside Park Cortmission that the <br />proposed deeding of the property to Ramsey County for future operation, develop- <br />ment and maintenance of the site would be beneficial to both parties for the <br />following reasons: <br />a. Economically <br />b. Greater efficiency in operation and maintenance costs <br />c. Increased cooperation and caordination <br />d. Direct accoutability <br />e. Greater equity in the tounty `ax dollar for Mounds View residents <br />f. Confroms with past precedents already established by County <br />g. Provides services currentty non-existant to Mounds View restdents <br />h. Improred beach program <br />i. Conforms with County policy of operating beach faciliti es. <br />On behalf of the Lakside Park Commission I would be happy to meet with eath of <br />the parties involved to further justify and expand on our position at your <br />convenience. If you have any questions, feel free to g9ve me a catl at 784-3055, <br />ext. N41.
