Mounds View City Council <br />Regular Meeting <br />I, ;C October 24, 1988 <br />1 Page Eight <br />Park Director Saarion stated that as an advocate of <br />City Hall park, she would like to see the park kept <br />as activity oriented as possible, without land being <br />taker.. She pointed out the park is used extensively <br />for picnics as well as other activities, and she felt <br />the first two options presented would add to the <br />activity potential, whereas the third option would <br />remove it, along with the soccer field. She also <br />questioned how much impact there would be on the trees <br />on the property and pointed rnt the City coul- lose <br />the designation of a community park. <br />Mr. Ayaz stated he agreed, that option three would <br />be a noisier location and would take away the soccer <br />field. <br />Public Works Director Minetor stated the gas station <br />site would be favored over the other two, specifically <br />because of the loss of property and use of that property <br />with the other two options, and the noise involved. <br />Councilmember Blanchard stated she had received a call <br />last week from someone on the Library Board, and does <br />not feel the Council has to make a definite recommenda- <br />tion or decision. <br />Councilmember Quick stated they could possible place ` <br />the building to the center, and it is up to the Council <br />to decide the impact they would agree to most. <br />Park Director Saarion pointed out if a softball field <br />is ta:.en out, it would eliminate 16 teams of uj, to 20 <br />players each, and considerable revenue from their fees. <br />She added it would not help much to add lights to <br />other fields, as there is a 10 PY curfew anyway. <br />Clerk/Administrator Pauley suggested ;raving Staff indicate <br />the Coureil's desire for the Library Board to ursue <br />P - <br />negotiatiuns on the gas station site, and if that is not <br />successful, the Council would then have options they <br />could propose at that time. It was agreed by the Council <br />to take that approach. <br />Attorney Karney had no report. 15.
