i <br /> Memo to Mark -2- January 16, 1978 <br /> After speaking with each of the respective agencies the following was found: <br /> a. Spring Lake Parks, staff and Park Commission felt that they were <br /> not in a position to assume the additional work load at this time <br /> unless additional staffing and monies were allocated. <br /> b. Anoka and Ramsey County staff stated that they did not feel <br /> Lakeside Park would conform with their existing criteria for <br /> County Park land, i .e. size, regional significance and type of <br /> facilities. <br /> c. Mounds View staff feels that they could manage Lakeside Park with <br /> existing staff personel if a mutually agreeable financial arrangement <br /> was adopted, by the respective City Councils. <br /> At this time the issue of which agency is best equiped to manage Lakeside Park <br /> is debatable, but the need to designate one responsible agent would appear <br /> eminent. <br /> 4. A listing of long and short range goals should be developed based on <br /> a comprehensive Master Plan that should be developed and adopted by <br /> the respective City Councils and Lakeside Park Commission. <br /> 5. A needs assessment study should be completed to determine and insure <br /> community input for future programming and development directions. <br /> 6. Budgetary matters should be the responsibility of one agency in <br /> conjunction with the Lakeside Park Commission and City Councils. By <br /> having one agency responsible for fiscal matters, many of the existing <br /> budgetary problems could be reduced i .e. insurance, advertising, <br /> workmans compensation and park maintenance. 110 <br /> 7. A community task force should be created to examine the existing fees <br /> and charges structure. Possible areas to be re-examined are: <br /> a. Examine existing concession profit and loss structure <br /> b. Increase present swimming instruction cost <br /> c. Possible yearly permit fee for families, car parking, etc. <br /> The next Lakeside Park Commission meeting will be Thursday, February 9 at <br /> 7:00 p.m. at Spring Lake Park Community Center. <br /> The Lakeside Park Commission will be looking for City Council and Staff input <br /> at that time. <br /> Feel free to give me call to discuss this matter further. <br />
