Gary Meyer,Thanksgiving Lutheran Church,was present to discuss the development of ball <br /> fields at the Church. The church would like to construct either a soccer field or a softball field. <br /> Clearing of some trees,grading and installation of a backstop and benches are required. The <br /> Church requests that the City contribute funds to complete the work. The public would be able <br /> to use the fields. <br /> Discussion concluded that a soccer field would be used only for practice because of the <br /> proposed size and the lack of irrigation. A softball field would be a better choice. The Church <br /> will provide a proposal to the commission describing what they would like to accomplish and <br /> the dollar amount they would like the City to contribute. <br /> 2. Dave Guenther,White Bear School District Community Services,was also present at the <br /> meeting. He attended in order to talk about the future needs for athletic fields in the <br /> community and to provide assistance to the Parks Commission. White Bear will bring more <br /> fields on line in the next two years. There will continue to be demand for high quality fields in <br /> Hugo.
