City of Ramsey <br />Parks and Recreation Committee <br /> December 15, 1977 <br /> <br />~leetinv called to order by Darrell Jensen at ~:20P.M. <br />Attending: Darrell Jensen, Doris Irvine, Paul Bogner, John Zobava, <br /> Denny Donavon, and Phil Nereson. <br /> <br />Talk continued about the background information needed to get accurate <br />cost estimates for 'the proposed ball diamonds at Ramsey School. Two <br />estimators (Equipment companies interested in supplying the diamonds) <br />have been requested to submit blueprints on how to best utilize the <br />available space. Unfortunately, both estimates were incomplete at <br />tonivht's meeting. <br /> <br />Proposed sequence of events to get necessary data: <br /> 1. Phil Nereson will get estimates on any fill requirements <br /> for the diamonds. Phil will also determine whether the <br /> City of Ramsey has the equipment to move the earth. <br /> 2. Evaluation and discussion of the estimators blueprints of <br /> proposed diamonds. <br /> Based on the fill requirements, cost of Agra-Lime for <br /> Infield, and possible Hydro Mulch for base for the out- <br /> field plus equipment (bases, backstops, etc.), we can get <br /> a fairly accurate cost estimate. <br /> <br />A special meeting will be called when the estimators submit their <br />ideas. <br /> <br />The total membership of P&R board was discussed. Allen Cooper has <br />verbally submitted his resignation. He has been asked to put it into <br />writi~ off~.cially. Dennis Donavon, a resident of Ramsey for four <br />years has volunteered for one of the vacancies. Dennis, is a school <br />teacher at Fred Moore Jr. High of Anoka and has taught for approximately <br />11 years. His application was submitted some weeks ago. <br /> <br />John Zobava suggested that the P&R does not have knowledge of the <br />financial status regarding funds for acquisition, maintenance and <br />improvement of parks. He further asked where we could get more money <br />and help. Doris Irvine had two suggestions: <br /> <br />Talk with Tom Clausen and ~r. Jambol from Urban Affairs, <br />State Planning Agency would give a presentation on eligi- <br />bility and requirements to get grant monies for P&R. <br />John Schultz, Division of Recreation and Leisure Studies, <br />would advise us how to use Student Assistance from U of ~N. <br />for planning park areas and the utilization of same. This <br />help would not cost P&R but is volunteer work. <br /> <br />The ~inutes were not approved for previous month (11/17/77) because <br />of insufficient attendance of members present at November meeting. <br /> <br />Motiom to adjourn by John Zobava, seconded by Paul Bogner. All in <br />favor. Adjo~rned at 9:30 P.~[. <br /> <br />S~bm~_ t t ed/J~y, <br /> <br />Paul Bother ¥Secretary <br /> <br /> <br />
