Executive Summary <br /> St. Anthony Community "Brainstorming" Session <br /> "Possibilities for Salvation Army Camp" <br /> Monday, April 26,1999 <br /> This two and one half hour session was called to order on Monday <br /> evening, April 26, 1999 in the conference room of the St. Anthony <br /> Community Center. Mr. Clarence Ranallo the Mayor, welcomed 23 <br /> community representatives to participate in a structured. "brainstorm" of <br /> possible uses for the 80 acre tract of land that is currently owned and used <br /> by the Salvation Army. He stressed the fact that although it has been <br /> mentioned that this land may be for sale, there is little other curent <br /> information available at this date. He emphasized the necessity of being <br /> "poised and prepared" in the event that the land becomes available for <br /> purchase in the near future. He reminded everyone present that the City <br /> and the School District of St. Anthony were teaming together to offer the <br /> vested stakeholders the opportunity to express their ideas and views as to <br /> possible uses for this unique tract of land. <br /> The facilitator reviewed the purpose, process, and the payoff for the <br /> meeting. The group was divided into four tables to participate in two <br /> rounds of brainstorming. The first round asked the participants to <br /> brainstorm, clarify, and multivote (prioritize) the top three possible uses <br /> for the land. The following choices were presented at the general feedback <br /> session: <br /> • A park <br /> • an environmental learning center <br /> • Athletic fields <br /> • A highly developed park (e.g. pool, picnic, playing fields, etc.) <br /> • Retreat and/or conference center <br /> • Community Center <br /> •. Community/recreational center <br /> • Corporate campus <br /> • Senior Housing <br /> • Maintain current use <br /> • Joint School District Magnet School (e.g. environmental school) <br /> • Corporate Headquarters but with public spaces <br />
