. June 19, 1998 <br /> Dear City Council Members, <br /> I am writing to express my interest in serving on the newly created St. Anthony Parks <br /> Commission. I have lived in St. Anthony for the past 11 years with my wife Nora and our four <br /> children,Mickey, 16,Tera, 13, Shane,6 and Kelly,2. We originally moved to St. Anthony <br /> thanks to the parks. We had recently relocated here from the Chicago area and were renting an <br /> apartment in Roseville. I was skating with my children at Emerald Park when I noticed one of <br /> the houses on Macalaster Drive had a"for sale"sign planted in the front snow banks. The more <br /> we checked into St.Anthony the more we liked what we saw and we have been here ever since. <br /> Through the years I have had many opportunities to enjoy the St. Anthony park facilities. <br /> Beside living across from Emerald Park and using it as our neighborhood playground,our <br /> children have been actively involved in the St. Anthony Sport Booster recreation programs. I <br /> have participated as either a coach and a parent at many St. Anthony baseball and soft ball and <br /> soccer games. In addition I recently stepped down after serving eight years as hockey <br /> commissioner with the St.Anthony Sports Boosters. This role gave me many opportunities to <br /> work with the other commissioners and the community services and city staff to develop and <br /> operationalize recreational opportunities for the youth of St. Anthony. It also helped me to <br /> understand the many uses that our parks must serve: aesthetic green space for a first ring suburb, <br /> facilities for organized sporting events, an informal place for community members to meet and <br /> relax and a place for our children to play and grow. I would like to be a part of the effort to <br /> . shape our parks for the future. <br /> Thank you for considering me for a position on the newly created parks commission. I <br /> applaud you for creating the commission and look forward to the positive impact the commission <br /> will have on our city. <br /> Sincerely, �jj/J <br /> Tim Morris <br /> 4020 Macalaster Dr. <br /> St.Anthony,MN 55421 <br /> Home phone: 781-7748 <br /> Digital pager: 899-0444 <br /> PARKS10C <br />
