Councilman Cox stated he agrees there is a need to spend <br />money, however, the Council needs to be reasonable in its <br />approach to the spending of funds on the parks. <br /> <br />Tom from the Park Commission stated many people have said <br />there wasn't any maintenance of the parks and would like <br />to have the Council look at the park budget for maintenance <br />and some improvements that would not be major expense items. <br /> <br />CITIZEN INPUT: <br /> <br />Bob Peterson, 15621 Erkium Street~ Ramsey Youth Athletic <br />Association representative came before-the Council and <br />asked for guidance and assistance in providing safety <br />at the softball and baseball fields. He had the following <br />safety suggestions: 1. permanent benches, 2. fences, 3. <br />more parking, 4. agrilime to improve quality of existing <br />fields, 5. a backstop at Titterud field. He stated <br />stated there have been several injuries this summer and <br />if the city would provide the materials he would be able <br />to get volunteer labor to install these items. At present <br />many Anoka fields are used and Anoka charges $30.00 for <br />using the lights. He would like the Council to consider <br />lighting of the fields in the future. <br /> <br />Councilman Cox stated Mr. Peterson's approach is sensible. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilman Cox and seconded by Councilman Reimann <br />to place the park materials issue on the agenda under old <br />business. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
