The existing fields do not allow for much practice time because they <br />are already heavily scheduled for games. The RYAA is very dependent <br />upon Anoka for facilities. Last year a field at Wilson was a home <br />field for Ramsey teams. There might be the possibility at some time in <br />the future of user charges being assessed for Ramsey teams. Elk River <br />is already doing this for their summer soccer program. <br /> <br />III. Options <br /> <br />A. Riverfront park consisting of 64 acres in the southeast corner of the <br /> City <br /> <br />1. Status unknown <br /> <br />B. Ramsey School <br /> <br />1. City investment on school property <br />2. Little room left for expansion <br />3. Any other development and expense would only partially meet the <br /> needs <br />4. Facility as is would provide extra space needed for practices and <br /> some games <br /> <br />C. Titterud Park <br /> <br />1. Currently a neighborhood park <br />2. No room left for expansion <br /> <br />D. Additional land acquisitions <br /> <br />E. Landfill <br /> <br />1. Present lease expires? <br />2. Constant settling of land will greatly limit development <br />3. Future development would be too distant to satisfy current demands <br /> <br />F. Federal Cartridge property <br /> <br />1. This is the best option available as far as the Park Board is <br /> concerned. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that whatever needs to be done to get some facilities <br />started on the Federal Cartridge land, should be done. <br /> <br />Mr. Schnelle stated that amendment to City Budget is coming up and that Park <br />Board whould come up with some dollar figure that would be required to get <br />started. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember Sorteberg to direct <br />City Staff to immediately check out status of park land to be donated by <br />Federal Cartridge and further that the City Engineer prepare a report regarding <br />a road in the proposed park and parking facilities. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Councilmembers Sorteberg, Cox, Reimann and <br />Van Wagner. Voting No: None. Absent: Mayor Gamec. <br /> <br />C/May 25, 1982 <br />Page 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
