• CHAIRMAN'S REPORT Chairperson Burmiester reported that he had observed the
City Forester moving a number of tree and asked staff
how it was working. Staff responded that we had trans-
planted 14 trees to date and had received a number of
requests for additional donations which will be trans-
planted in the fall . Staff further added that two of
the trees transplanted were a 10' Blue Spruce and an 8'
Norway Pine which were a welcome additions.
LAKESIDE PARK Commissioner Bowman provided some background information
on the states of Lakeside Park. A copy of the joint
powers agreement drafted by staff was distributed and
Commissioner Bowman outlined the beaches progress to
date.
Staff added that the beach opened to the public on May
30, 1981 and Cindy Johnson had been hired as the water-
• front director. Staff further indicated that there had
been no problem to date.
SILVER VIEW PARK Director Anderson gave a brief update as to the program
that had been made to date regarding Silver View and
then introduced Consultant Gary Tushie who discussed
the plans and specifications for Phase One development.
Consultant Tushie outlined in detail the planning process
entailed in the development of the specifications and
related maps. Commission relating to the plan and the
proposed timeline.
Staff indicated that the timing was poor as the proposed
plans called for cutting 43,000 cubic yards of material
from the Southern edge of the property and than filling
the north end of the property. The Southern "hole"
• would then be filled with dredged material from the pool .

• SILVER VIEW (cont. ) Consultant Tushie indicated that this would be a costlier
process than just initial grading.
Following the question and answer period, Commissioner
Linke moved seconded by Commissioner Bowman to approve
the plans and specifications as presented for Phase One
development of Silver View Park. The motion passed
unanimously.

SILVER LAKE WOODS Planning Commission Chairperson Peg Mountain and Building
and Zoning Official Rose were requested to attend the
Park Commission meeting to respond to their concerns.
Building and Zoning Official Rose outlined the City
Council and Planning Commission action to date on the
Silver Lake Woods P.U.D. Following Building and Zoning
Offical Rose 's presentation the Park Commission asked
• a number of questions.
General facts relating to the project are as follows:
'40 single family homes
' 120 town houses
' 1.65 million estimated costs for utility
development
'Utility costs will all be assessed back to
property owners.
'Complete development scheduled for 1986.
A motion was made by Chairperson Burmeister, seconded by
Commissioner Silvis to make the following recommendations
to the City Council and Planning Commission:
1. An additional access be designated from the
townhouse development to the park trail system based
• on the pretense that one controlled acces point would
be better than a myriad of entry points .
Parks and Recreation Minutes
Page 4
• June 4, 1981
•
SILVER LAKE WOODS (cont. ) 2. Recommend an additional access be added
from the single family home sites between the northern
most home to park trail system, based on the premise
that it would tie proposed sidewalk and trail systems
together.
3. Request that a street light be installed at
the entrance road of the park on County Road I .
A motion was made by Commissioner Silvis and seconded
by Commissioner Burmeister to direct staff to forward
copies of the June 4, 1981 Park Commission minutes to
the Planning Commission and Council for their considera-
tion.
• The motion passed unanimously.

Building and Zoning Offical Rose concluded his
presentation by adding that a preliminary plat had
been submitted by Harstad and Todd to develop the
property along Silver Lake Road south of the 7-11
store. The property is currently zoned commercial
and the proposal was for high density residential .
The Planning Commission has deferred formal action on
the plat due to Ordinance #301. This issue is important
to the Park Commission due to the proposed trail ease-
ment from Woodcrest to Silver View Park.
TASK FORCE REPORT Staff provided a brief update as to the progress of
the Park Referendum Task Force and reviewed the
minutes from their previous meetings. In addition to
• Director Anderson 's comments , three Task Force
members were on hand to discuss their view points.
Parks and Recreation Minutes

June 4, 1981
Task Force Report (cont. ) A synopsis as to why the referendum may have failed
is as follows:
1. It was not an emotional issue, too much
apathy.
2. The general election was a bad time for
the Park Referendum.
3. The successful school referendum four weeks
prior to the park issue.
4. The referendum was for too much money.
5. General status of the economy.
111
6. Trend toward political conservatism.
7. Concern for how the parks were going to be
maintained.
A motion was made by Linke, seconded by Silvis to accept
and support the reasoning and rationale of Park Referen-
dum Task Force as to why it may have failed.
The motion passed unanimously.
7 ayes
0 nayes
A great deal of general discussion then followed regard-
ing the possibility of a referendum in the future.
Issues that were raised:
1. Referendum should be an emotional item.
2. Possibly the park shelter buildings should be
condemned and torn down.

Task Force Report (cont. ) 3. Will only pass if there is a strong grass
roots effort.
4. General consensus was that we should go for
a second referendum.
5. A park maintenance addendum should be added.

to the Task Force members regarding the final details
of money, projects, date, etc.

effort and work on the Parks referendum project.

Established by the Minnesota Legislature

FISCAL YEAR 1982 LAWCON/LCMR GRANT RANKING
Preliminary Staff Rankings
On June 11 , 1981 staff from the Metropolitan Council and the
Minn. Department of Economic Development - Office of Local and
Urban Affairs met to rank the FY 1982 LAWCON/LCMR Park Grants .
The attached sheets contain the preliminary staff rankings. The
ranking sheets show four columns of rankings:
1. The "MC/R" column indicates the ranking of applications based
on the Metropolitan Council ' s "Criteria for Review of Local
Park Grant Applications - FY 1982. " As noted in the cover
letter from the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commission ,
applicants have an opportunity until June 18 to meet with
Council staff on making any appropriate revisions to the
evaluation of applications. (See cover letter for more
information. )
2. The "MC/H" column indicates the ranking of applications based
on the MC/R ranking (two-thirds weight) and one-third weight
GO of the applicant community' s performance in providing low- and
moderate-income housing.
3. The "OLUA" column indicates the ranking of applications by the
Dept. of Economic Development - Office of Local and Urban
Affairs.
4 . The "Final" column represents the combined rankings of the
"MC/H" and "OLUA" columns.
We have also indicated a potential funding cut-off line. This
line indicates which projects would receive grants from the
Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCMR) . The LCMR
will appropriate $1 million for applications in the Metropolitan
Region. LCMR grants can cover up to 50 percent of the total
project cost of applications. Using the 50 percent grant
limitation, plus the policy planning allocation formula, the
following amounts of funds would be available:
$100 , 000 for top-priority boat launch projects
(10 percent "off-the-top" of the $1 million) .
$441, 000 for projects in the Fully Developed Area
(49 percent of the balance--$900, 000--after top-priority
boat launch projects) .
4110 - $306 , 000 for projects in the Area of Planned Urbanization
(34 percent of the $900, 000 balance) .
2
$99 , 000 for projects in Freestanding Growth Centers
(11 percent of the $900 , 000 balance) .
$54 , 000 for projects in the Rural Area (6 percent of the
5900 , 000 balance) .
Please note that this funding cut-off line does not include any
grant funds from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund LL
(LAWCON) . President Reagan has recommended that no LAWCON funds
be appropriated to states for Fiscal Year 1982. The Congress will
be considering this recommendation this summer as part of their FY
1982 budget program. If LAWCON funds are made availahle, more
projects could receive grants.

1981 PUBLIC SERVICE PROGRAM
• The Public Service Program as outlined by Section 7 . 05, Subd. 2, is
to be:
" . . .a continuing five-year plan for all public services
estimating future needs for the public health, safety, and
welfare of the City. It shall measure the needs and objectives
for each City department, the standard of services desired, and
the impact of each such service on the annual operating budget. "
The 1981 Public Service Program is being presented in the spirit that
the 1980s will be a period of time when government will be expected
to do "more for less" . People are expecting government to become the
leader in putting controls on the cost of living in our society and,
at the same time, provide those services, e.
g. pro
dictated by the trend to remain closer to home �when rpursuuing nal extraams ,
curricular activities. This Public Service Program is designed to
hold the line or possibly reduce in areas where services are determined
to be less than essential and to expand only when necessary in those
areas where services are experiencing increasing demands.
Included in the 1981 Public Service Program are organizational charts
showing the present and proposed organization and staffing of the
City' s departments . Attached as Appendix A is the present organiza-
tional chart of the City down to the departmental level. Appendix B
reflects': the organization of the City' s departments should all proposed
• changes occur.
The following is a review of each individual department, an outline
of its basic objectives, an assessment of its needs in order to meet
those objectives and a determination of what those needs will have
on the City ' s annual budget.
A. Administration - The administration portion of the Public Service
Program encompasses a wide variety of activities which need to be
addressed individually. These individual areas of activity are
City Council , Commissions, Elections, City Hall , Legal and Fire,
and Clerk-Administrator ' s Office.
1) City Council - The City Council is comprised of five elected
iC ams; Mayor and four Councilmembers, serving non-
consecutive terms who, as a body, are responsible for the
administration of the City. Basically,
the City Council are identical to those ofethe 7City',ss of
departments as the Council sets the policies which determine
each department' s objectives. It is anticipated that
the level of service provided by the City Council, as it
relates to being a division of the Administration Depart-
ment, will not be changed and the increased impact on the
budget will result from inflationary factors, compensation
increases for the Council or Recording Secretary or increases
• in fees, dues or other expenses contained within the City
Council budget.
-2-
2) Commissions - The City has a variety of active commissions,
including Planning, Charter, Cable TV, Civil Service,
Lakeside Park, Parks and Recreation and Human Rights, which
serve as advisory bodies to the City Council and, when
functioning jointly with other political subdivisions,
operate as an administrative body responsible to the City
Council . An example of the latter is the North Suburban
Cable Commission, a consortium of 10 suburban municipalities
established to coordinate the franchising of cable TV service
in the 10 municipalities, which the City is a member of and
the Lakeside Park Commission.
With the advent of a Joint Powers Agreement between Mounds
View and Spring Lake Park for the operation of Lakeside
Park, it is anticipated that the level of service provided
in Lakeside Park will be modified . The impact this Joint
Powers Agreement will have on the services provided to
Lakeside Park will be discussed in detail in the Parks and
Recreation and Finance Departments Public Service Programs.
The increased activity of the North Suburban Cable Commission
towards a Cable TV franchise will not impact on the expendi-
ture of additional funds, but will necessitate additional
• activities in the Clerk-Administrator ' s Office which will be
addressed in that section of the Public Service Program.
Also, a heightened desire on the part of members of the
Planning Commission to improve their knowledge and awareness
of planning and zoning issues will result in the need to
dedicate a small amount of funds, not presently budgeted, to
allow for attendance of commission members to seminars and
-workshops. *R
It is not anticipated that services will be expanded by these
commissions other than what has been previously mentioned.
Impacts on the budget will result from increases in training
costs , Recording Secretary salary and increased operating costs
for the Festival in the Park.
3) Elections - The elections activities of the City are limited to
the maintenance of the voter ' s registration cards, provision
and maintenance of voting and ballot counting equipment and
supplies and administrative services, including election judges,
necessary for the legal and efficient conduct of elections.
Over the next five years, these services will change only
when special elections are held, which cannot be anticipated,
or the State or Federal governments modify the rules and
regulations for the conduct of elections in such a way that
increased expenditures are required.
111
N
-3-
4) City Hall - The City Hall division of the Administration
Department provides for the maintenance and operation of the
City Hall building, personnel services costs for the Recep-
tionist position, office supplies, postage, and liability
and automobile insurance premiums. it is not anticipated
-that the level of service provided by this division will
increase over the next five years, however, it is projected
that utility and other costs will increase thus resulting in
this division taking an increasing share of the City' s
operating budget.
5) Legal and Fire - Legal and Fire Protection services are provided
by contracting individuals or agencies with the level of service
being determined by the demand for such service and the expense
for such service to the City being determined by them. Thus,
increases in service cannot be predicted and the cost for such
services, although expected to increase, should remain on a
proportional basis.
6) Clerk-Administrator 's Office - The position of Clerk-Administratc
is established by Section 6 . 01 of the Home Rule Charter with
Section 6 . 03 outlining the duties of the Clerk-Administrator .
Basically, the duties of the Clerk-Administrator and, as a
result, the Clerk-Administrator ' s Office can be summarized as
follows :
• a. All of the duties and responsibilities of a City Clerk
in a statutory city including the conduct of elections,
maintenance of all municipal records and accounts, and
issuance of all licenses and permits except for
building permits and contractor ' s licenses.
b. Assist the City Council in the administration of City
affairs including the supervision of its employees,
programs and activities, and labor contracts.
c. Prepare and submit to the City Council reports relating
to municipal projects and/or improvements, periodic
financial reports, annual operating budget, long-term
financial plan, capital improvement plan, and annual
financial statements.
d. Develop and maintain good public relations with the
general public through the preparation and dissemination
of news releases and other information, an annual
report on the financial condition of the City and
other efforts.
e. Coordination of the City' s activities with outside
agencies and consultants .
111
-4-
The level of service provided by the Clerk-Administrator' s
Office staffed by the Clerk-Administrator and Administrative
Secretary are dictated by the Home Rule Charter , statutory
or local policy requirements and the activities of the City
Council, City commissions and committees, and other City
departments and consultants. With the increased activity
towards the franchising of cable TV service this office will
experience a slight increase in its level of services due
to increased demand for information and the 'need to review
all materialson this issue. Basically, there are no major
increases in service levels anticipated over the next five
years and only proportional increases in expenditures are
expected to occur.
B. Finance - The Finance Department headed by the Finance Director,
who also serves as Treasurer pursuant to Section 6. 04 of the
Home Rule Charter, coordinates the financial activities of the
City. Current departmental activities include the following:
1) Utility billing preparation and collection, and the
annual analysis of user fees and fee structures.
2) Receipt and management of all municipal revenues
including the analysis of cash flow patterns and the
establishment of cash management guidelines.
• 3) Accounts payable and payroll preparation and control .
4) Preparation of monthly financial reports and the
Annual Financial Statement.
5) Directs the investment of temporarily idle municipal
funds.
6) Directs and coordinates the preparation of the Annual
Budget and assists in the preparation of the Long Term
Financial Plan.
7) Establishes controls for and oversees debt management.
8) Management of the City' s purchasing and insurance programs.
Additional duties anticipated by the department during 1981-1982
are the general and payroll accounting activities for Lakeside
Park which will be assumed by the City as a result of the
Joint Powers Agreement with Spring Lake Park. Levels of
services and staffing are expected to remain stable and the
department's share of the General Fund budget to remain
proportionately the same.

C. Building and Zoning - The Building and Zoning Department, headed
by the Building and Zoning Official , assists in controlling and
insuring the provision of an atmosphere of health, safety, and
welfare in the City of Mounds View by overseeing new and existing
development and construction through the enforcement of Federal ,
State and local codes and ordinances.
Current department activities and services include the following :
1) Issuance of building permits and inspection of
• permitted construction pursuant to adopted codes.
2) Review of City licenses and registrations for
recommendation to the City Council .
3) Enforcement of the City Housing and Zoning codes.
'4) Staff assistance to Planning Commission and City
Council on zoning, subdivision and development
applications requiring review and short and long
range community planning.
5) Administration of state housing assistance, home
rehabilitation and planning assistance grant programs.
6) Provision of general surveying and graphics for all
City departments.
This department anticipates no future increases in services.
A reduction in staffing is anticipated for this department
within the next five to ten years as the City becomes fully
developed, should no new services be added. It is proposed
that the duties of the Building Inspector be assumed by the
Building and Zoning Official at that time with a potential
reduction of $22 , 200. 00 in 1981 personnel costs resulting
• from the phasing out of the Building Inspector position.

D. Parks, Recreation and Forestry - The major goal of the Parks,
Recreation and Forestry Department is to develop a comprehensive
and balanced system of parks, open space, trails, and leisure
oriented programs for all residents of Mounds View in as economic
manner as possible. The four elements necessary to accomplish
this goal and the objectives of each element are as follows:
1) Recreation Programs - The overriding recreation objective
-is the continued enrichment and growth of Mounds View through
• leisure education and recreational opportunities for all
City residents .
2) Forestry Program - The primary objective of the Forestry
Program is to preserve and supplement the existing floral
canopy in Mounds View and to provide additional services
relative to plants for the enjoyment and education of the
City' s residents.
y
3) Parks and Recreation Facilities - Develop and implement a
comprehensive park and recreation areas and facilities plan
for the City in accordance with accepted standards and the
needs and interests of the community.
4) Park Maintenance - Provide a continuous and systematic program
of repair, replacement and maintenance of all park and
recreation facilities and equipment.
It is projected that over the next five years the parks and
recreation facilities and park maintenance divisions of this
department will experience significant growth. The rationale
for such a position is based on four basic premises:
-7-
a. The approval of a referendum for the construction and
• maintenance of park facilities by the voters is anti-
cipated.
h. With the final acquisition of Silver View Park, the
City' s total park acreage has increased 38 . 5% from 91
acres to 126 acres .
c . The advent of a joint powers agreement with Spring
Lake Park for the management of Lakeside Park will
increase the City ' s Recreation Activity account by
28% , from $45 , 000 . 00 to $58 , 000 . 00 , just for staff
salaries to man Lakeside Park.
d . The demand for recreation programs has continued to
grow as the City' s parks and recreation facilities are
developed and improved. The need for recreational
activities will continue to grow as a result of the
energy crunch and the public ' s desire to find such
activities closer to home, as well as the awareness
of their bodies and minds needing active recreation
participation.
This projected growth will result in the need for additional
personnel in order to adequately staff the various recreational
activities being offered both now and in the future, and to
• provide for adequate maintenance of the City' s park and recreation
facilities . The proposed staff increases, which are shown on the
accompanying departmental organization chart, are as follows :
a. Clerical Assistant - A part time position beginning in
1983 to be funded for out of the recreation activity
account at a projected cost of $8 , 000 . 00 .
b. Park Foreman - Assuming the park referendum were to be
approved with a separate levy for park maintenance,
this position would be added in 1982 at a projected cost
of $28 , 000 . 00.
c . Park Laborer - Once the parks have become completely
developed , assuming approval of the referendum, a fourth
man would be added to the park maintenance crew in 1984
with the position to be funded out of the general fund
at an estimated cost of $25, 000 . 00 .
d. Athletic Coordinator - A part time position beginning
in 1983 to be funded out of the recreation activity
account at a projected cost of $8 , 000 . 00 .
•
•
-8-
e. Aquatics Supervisor - A part time position beginning
41/ in 1982 for the coordination of the City ' s aquatics
program to be funded for from the Lakeside Park budget
at a projected cost of $6 , 000 . 00 .
It is proposed that the responsibility for parks maintenance and
oversight of the parks maintenance crew be transferred from the
Public Works Department to the Parks, Recreation and Forestry
Department. This is based on the assumption that a park referendum
will be approved resulting in the upgrading of the City ' s parks
and recreation facilities, and the provision of additional monies
for parks maintenance. At the present time, parks maintenance is
performed by all members of the City ' s Public Works Department,
as needed, which decreases the effectiveness of any established
maintenance progr_ams, as manpower is continually being shifted to
areas where the greater need exists' and work other than basic
maintenance is being deferred until time allows.
The addition of park maintenance workers would alleviate the need
to defer necessary, but non-emergency, work until time allows for
all areas of public works maintenance and the transfer of parks
maintenance to the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department would
place the control of the work and workers directly under the
department responsible for the maintenance of the City ' s parks .
The Parks , Recreation and Forestry Department ' s Organizational
Chart, reflecting all proposed changes, would appear as shown below.

E. Public Works - The Public Works Department headed by the Public
• Works Superintendent, provides for the maintenance and repair of
City property, facilities and equipment involved in the operation
of City streets , parks , maintenance garage , and storm water
drainage; water and sewer systems . Basic services provided for
by or_ through the department include street sweeping, snow
plowing, general street maintenance including sealcoating,
equipment and building maintenance, storm drainage system
maintenance , parks and recreational facilities maintenance ,
sanitary sewer and water system maintenance, and water treatment.
The present organization and manpower allocation of the Public
Works Department is as shown below.
PUBLIC WORKS
; SUPERINTENDENT ,
PARK MAINTENANCE 1 1 GARAGE STREETS j WATER SEWER
2 men 1 man i 0 men 2 men 2 men i
As the- City becomes fully developed, greater emphasis will be placed
• on the City' s ability to maintain existing public facilities and
to replace those which have deteriorated because of age beyond the
point that maintenance is economically more viable than replacement.
At this time the technical and managerial expertise needed to
establish maintenance and replacement programs, and to oversee the
implementation of these programs, is not presently available on the
City's staff. The City presently uses the services of a consulting
engineering firm to prepare feasibility reports , costs estimates,
and plans and specifications , and oversee all of the City ' s
improvement projects except for the annual sealcoating program.
This firm also reviews all development proposals to insure that
they are engineeringly sound and comply with all of the City' s
requirements, with the cost of such a review being borne by the
developer.
It is proposed that the position of Public Works Superintendent
be phased out with the individual filling that position being
transferred into the maintenance division, and the position of
Public Works Director being created to be filled by an individual
who is an engineer with a public works background . This transition
could occur at any time over the next five to ten years at a cost
estimated to be $35 , 000 . 00 (1981 personnel services cost) . The
cost of the position could be accounted for partly by having the
individual perform all development reviews and charging the
•
-10-
developer for the position ' s time , assuming the Building
Inspector' s position would be phased out prior to or at the
same time this position is established, the savings resulting
from that action could be used to alleviate some of the cost,
and some of the improvement project work presently performed by
the City' s consulting engineer could be assumed by this position,
thus, reducing these costs which would eliminate expenses
presently being experienced by the City.
The resulting Public Works Department organization and manpower
allocation resulting from this proposal and the shift of parks
maintenance to the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department,
based on assumptions previously stated, would be as shown below.
As shown in this organization chart is the assignment of the
Engineering/Planning Technician to the Public Works Department.
This change would be appropriate as the Public Works Director
would have a need for this position and the services of this
position would be shared with the Building and Zoning Department,
as well as the Building and Zoning Secretary providing secretarial
services to the Public Works Director .

F. Police/Civil Defense - The basic objective' of the Police Department
is to preserve the peace and protect the public by enforcing
State and local laws . Basic services provided by the department
include law enforcement, youth counseling, traffic control, crime
prevention, animal control, community relations , school resource
officer, and civil defense.
At the present time the department employs an investigator and one
juvenile officer, with both officers assisting one another as the
assigned case warrants it. The patrol division consists of one
sergeant, two corporals, and six patrolmen. The sergeant and
corporal perform regular patrol duties, as well as supervision of
other patrolmen working their shift. The present work schedule
for the department is as follows :
0
-11-
7 : 00 a .m. - 3 : 00 p.m. - one officer assisted by the
• investigator, juvenile officer
or Police Chief as needed.
3 : 00 p.m. - 11 : 00 p.m. - two officers.
6 : 00 p.m. - 4 : 00 a .m. - one corporal .
11 : 00 p.m. - 7 : 00 a.m. - two officers .
The present organization of the Police Department is as shown
below.
POLICE CHIEF ; DEPARTMENT SECRETARY
PART-TIME SECRETARY

I
s
COMMUNITY SERVICE PATROLMEN
OFFICER
It is anticipated that the Sergeant will b6 retiring in 1985 .
At that time, it is proposed that the position be phased out and
replaced with an additional patrolman.
As unemployment continues to rise, the incidence of crime will also
increase. In 1980 , violent crime increased by 13% nationally and
4% locally. Non-violent crime rose locally by 7 . 6% over the same
period. Should crime rates continue to rise, a greater effort will
need to be made on the part of the Police Department in its
patrolling efforts and to maintain the high level of crime
investigation presently being practiced. In order to do so it is
anticipated that an additional patrolman, at a cost of $18 , 000 . 00
and an investigator at a cost of $28 , 000 . 00 (1981 personnel services
costs), will be necessary within the next five to ten years.

RECREATION AND FORESTRY
June 11, 1981
Mrs . Rita M. Waste
2345 West County Road H-2
St. Paul , Minnesota 55112
Dear Mrs . Waste:
In response to your letter received June 10, 1981 regarding the tot-lot
equipment at Lambert Park, I must agree with your observations that the new
tot-lot equipment has not been effective . We installed the equipment in
• August of 1978 with the intent of finishing the area off with a wooden berm
and some additional pieces of equipment in 1979 or 1980.
The total cost of the tot lot equipment, installation, and sand was $3,600.00.
It was our intent to have the Lambert tot-lot primarily serve the secondary
school age children (6-12 years) which was the predominant age group according
to the survey staff completed. To meet the needs of this age group our intent
was to design a mini-obstacle course to challenge both the physical and mental
needs of the neighborhood youth.
It did become apparent after a short time that our plans may not become as success-
ful as we may have desired. The problem now is with the reduced committment to
park development, (we have expended $4,700.00 over the past three years , 9 picnic
tables, 3 park signs, 2 player's benches , and 1 backstop) we have been unable to
complete the tot-lot.

June 11, 1981
As I 'm sure you're aware, the City completed a City Wide Park System Master
Plan for each of our neighborhood parks in May, 1981. I have enclosed a
copy of the Lambert Park Master Plan which outlines an improved and expanded
tot-lot area.
It appears that the only possibility for future funding will be through a
park referendum. I will be presenting your position and letter to the Parks
and Recreation Commission at their June 25, 1981 meeting and you are welcome
to attend. The meeting is scheduled for 6: 30 p.m. in the City Hall Council
Chambers .
If you would like to discuss this issue further prior to the June 25, 1981
meeting, feel free to give me a call at 784-3055, extension #41.
