COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case #4 Schle.Der Park improvement request (Horse Arena). <br /> <br />Merland Otto explained that he received a letter in September from the Ramsey Ranger <br />Saddle Club asking that some repairs be made to the Traprock Horse Arena. <br /> <br />Sharon Niles, 15415 St. Francis Boulevard, explained that about 25 of the fence posts are <br />broken and there are a few fence boards that need replacing. She also explained that in the <br />past they have done the work themselves with the materials being supplied by the City. <br />She also stated that the repairs would not need to be done until spring. <br /> <br />Chairman Hetland asked Mr. Otto if there was any money in the budget set aside for these <br />repairs. <br /> <br />Merland Otto said that the 1991 budget did not allocate money for any park capital <br />improvements. <br /> <br />Mark Boos, Parks and Utilities Coordinator, suggested contacting Cindy Foster, Anoka <br />Electric Cooperative, and inquire if they have any damaged telephone poles they would be <br />willing to donate to the City. He explained these poles could be cut down and used as <br />fencing posts. <br /> <br />Ms. Niles informed the Commission that the Ramsey Ranger Saddle Club is asking for <br />horse tanks to be donated which would eliminate the need for a well. The Club could fill <br />the water tanks before a show and empty them afterwards. She also asked if it would be <br />possible to get some paint for the fence once it is repaired. <br /> <br />Chairman Hetland suggested that Mark Boos contact Cindy Foster regarding the telephone <br />poles and also check on getting some paint. <br /> <br />Case #1 KAB Adopt A Park Proqram. <br /> <br />Kathi Peterson was unable to be present to report to the Commission regarding an Adopt A <br />Park Program, however, there were handouts regarding this project made available for <br />the Commission to review. <br /> <br />Commissioner Swokowski suggesting finding out what kind of interest there is in an Adopt <br />A Park Program. <br /> <br />Chairman Hetland stated that he would like to see what other Cities are doing with an Adopt <br />a Park Program. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Commission was to table this issue until next month and invite Kathi <br />Peterson to be present to answer questions. <br /> <br />Chairman Hetland suggested reviewing a park a month and inviting the surrounding <br />residents to attend the meeting and report on what they would like to see accomplished in <br />their park. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Commission was to start next month with Countyside Estates Park. <br /> <br />PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION / NOVEMBER 8, 1990 <br /> PAGE 2 OF 3 <br /> <br /> <br />
