MEMORANDUM TO COPIES TO FROF1 DATE City Council City Clerk~ City Engineer, Park and Recreation Commission Andover Quad Ci_ty.,Con~n~ttee (Merlyn Prochniak) 5/9/84 REFERENCE' Quad City Positions Statement and Facilities Needs In accordance with the drafted statement (attachment l) of the Quad Cities Recreation Advisory Committee (QCRAC) on 4/16/84, an inventory of available active recreational facility in each co~nunity (city) should be made. (attachment 2). Anoka Youth Athletic Association (AYAA)_has provided and identified a number of participants from each community that are involved in their organization and that use the recreational facilities offered by and in the city of Anoka (attachment 3). Discussion at the Quad Ciyy meeting varied in different ways: A. Each city has its' own characteristics and its needs are somewhat different (the city should outline and evaluate its needs for today's and for future development of recreational facilities). B. What recreational facilities have priority? C. How some of the other communities develop their own recreational facilities (methods of obtaining monies)? D. What methods are being used to collect monies from non-residents? Objective being that each city provide its own residents with an adequate recreational facility within its city without too much reliance on surrounding con, unities to provide facilities. The individual community should be responsible for the development of their own recreational facilities (determine what/when/how) keeping .in mind that in some instances a joint effort with a neighboring comunity could be very advantageous and could alleviate some duplication which would benefit those communities involved. 11:5/10/84 m
