Case #2. KAB - "Adopt A Park" Program. <br /> <br />Kathy Peterson, Chairman of the Keep Ramsey Clean Committee, reviewed her proposal <br />for an "Adopt a Park" program. She told the Commission that while she was at the KAB <br />convention she found that there are various Adopt A Park programs all over the United <br />States. One idea was to have the seniors citizens monitor the parks, when they notice a <br />problem they contact the group that adopted that park and later check to see if the problem <br />was corrected. <br /> <br />Ms. Peterson stated that while doing some research she found several businesses in <br />Ramsey that would be interested in adopting a park. She also asked asked if the Park and <br />Recreation Commission would be interested in working with the KAB Committee to start <br />an "Adopt A Park" program. <br /> <br />Chairman Hetland asked if there were any volunteers to work on the "Adopt A Park" <br />subcommittee. <br /> <br />Jill Prall, Janice Johnson, and Mark Boos volunteered to join the subcommittee. <br /> <br />Case #3 Faye Addition sketch pli~n park dedication review. <br /> <br />Merland Otto reviewed the Faye Addition sketch plan and the layout of the trailway that is <br />being proposed for preliminary plat. <br /> <br />Chairman Hetland stated that he still feels there could be a problem with the trail going <br />through the middle of the development and also along 137th. <br /> <br />Medand Otto suggested that if the Commission is not comfortable with this proposal that <br />they send it back with specific direction as they did earlier or with another <br />recommendation. <br /> <br />Motion by Chairman Hetland and seconded by Commissioner Prall to recommend denial of <br />proposed park dedication for Faye Addition as presented and move that the applicant <br />strongly consider option #3 recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
