• PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION SEPTEMBER 8, 1986 MINUTES Members present: Leo and Jean Ohman, Ardis Hutchins, Bob Gehrz, Tom Montain, Connie Lasser, Pat Bush, Paul Ciernia, council liaison Members absent: Paul Nelson, Keith Moderson, Tom Amman, Floyd Bedbury Meeting called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Connie Lasser, Chair. 1. Community Park bathrooms - At the August meeting the Commission discussed the park bathrooms being locked and asked Pat to check into options. Pat contacted several communities and found that they all had suffered vandalism and the bathrooms were locked unless the park was rented by a group. One solution used by some communities was the use of satelites. The cost of this was checked-out by Pat, a one time delivery charge of $36 and a monthly charge of X92, this includes weekly maintaince and insurance. Pat also reported that a key to the bathrooms was available at the City Hall to any citizen who requests it. The Commission decided to discuss this further next spring. • 2. Grove Park up-date - Pat reported that they have started grading, the new equipment installed, sand placed, benches and tables ordered. The Grove Association, 1666 Coffman and the Parks and Recreation Commission are going to jointly participate in celebrating the new park. The date will be Sunday, October 19, at 2:00 p.m. Further details will be worked out and discussed at the next meeting. 3. Fall & Winter programs - The fall program flyers came out to the schools on Monday, September 8. We discussed the flyers sent home and how using the City Newsletter would be the most effective way of communicating in the community. The timing of the newsletter is of concern to us. Paul Ciernia is going to check into re-scheduling the newsletter. 4. Adult reimbursement - The Commission reviewed our policy of reimbursement for Falcon Heights residents of the non-resident fee charged by Roseville. We decided to reimburse adults as well as children, there have only been a few for adults. 5. Bike paths - The Commission has noted that probably the most popular recreation by residents was walking. We also have a great number of joggers, runners and bikers. It was also noted the popularity of the asphalt bike path on Roselawn between Snelling and Fairview. The commission would like to have a committee meet with the Planning Commission to discuss working together on a long range plan. Connie Lasser will contact the Chair of the Planning Commission, Dave Black to discuss this.
