I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Case #2: Lutheran Brotherhood Grant and Fundraising~Att~mpts: Two unsuccessful attempts to match the Lutheran Brotherhood Crant were discussed. The committee in charge of the fundraising were unaware of all the ground~rules involved, except for Arnie Cox who had met with A1Steinbre~r and discussed the rules but had failed to pass them on to the rest of the committee. Claudia and Marlene brought up the outstanding bills and unaccounted for monies from ticket sales. It was also brought up that Kathy McKnight may have some of the money as well as the Ramsey Lions. Also mentioned was the fact that the Ramsey Lions agreed to donate the boat and trailer. Claudia said that Kathy McKnight thought Dale McKusik may have the entry fees from the teams in the first event. Chairman Donovan briefly went over some of the ground rules requiring a community effort for a fund raiser as well as the advertising requirements. Chairman Donovan said he would make some calls and get the situation straightened out so the outstanding bills could be paid. Case #3: Informational; 1) Lawson/LCMR Funding - Chairman Donovan stated according to letter from the Dept. of Energy and Economic Development, Ramsey had again been denied any funds. He also said the Metro Council was revising their formula but as of now the location of rural parks was a major problem in getting funding and that they should not expect much funding assistance as the council felt most of the burden should fall with the municipalities. Chairman Donovan said he was going to check into the revised formula more care- fully. 2) Lighting Study for Central Park - Chairman Donovan felt it would be a good idea to get started this fall so the fields would not be all torn up this spring when the kids want to use them. He also said they had looked at some of the concret~ poles Mr. Cox had in mind and felt they were of a good quality. Mr. Cox is investigating prices with the possibility of substituting the concrete poles for the wooden poles if the price is better. The meeting was adjourned at 8:05 p.m.
