<br />FISHING PIER
<br />TO BE CONSTRUCTED
<br />IN RIVER'S BEND PARK
<br />In 1989, the City submitted an applicatio~ for a fishing pier
<br />through DNR's Cooperative Opportunity for Resource
<br />Enhancement (CORE) Program. While we were.un~uccessful
<br />in obtaining a fishing pier (ranking 7 of 18 applications, with
<br />5 projects being selected), DNR requested that we let them
<br />know by January 1, 1990 if the City wanted to keep. its ap-
<br />plication active. On December 12, 1989, the Council voted
<br />to keep the application active.
<br />In February of 1990, it was reported to City Council t~at
<br />the fishing pier applications approved in the past usually In-
<br />clude a local cost share provision. Council then adopted
<br />resolutions to amend and resubmit the City's CORE applica-
<br />tion for a fishing pier to include a $2,000 commitment for
<br />local cost sharing. The $2,000 local cost share is to be funded
<br />with $1 000 from the City's Park Trust Fund and $500 dona-
<br />tions from Danny's Aluminum Processing and Commercial
<br />Asphalt.
<br />On August 7,1990, the City received notification from the
<br />DNR that its application for a fishing pier through the CORE
<br />program had been approved. It is anticipated that the 60 foot,
<br />handicap accessible fishing pier will be constructed in the
<br />Spring of 1991 just 150 yards south of the newly constructed
<br />#116 bridge.

<br />ADDITIONAL BALL FIELDS
<br />
<br />FOR CENTRAL PARK
<br />
<br />The City Council has contracted for the construction of two
<br />more ball fields at Central Park by the end of September.
<br />If the fields are seeded by the end of September, they will
<br />be available for use in the 1991 season. RY AA needs parents
<br />and older children to help with the fertilizing, seeding and
<br />mulching of the fields September 29 and September 30.
<br />Please call either Bev Swanson at 753-4307, or your sport
<br />director and let them know when you can work or equip-
<br />ment that you can contribute to this project. It is estimated
<br />that at least 8-10 people will be needed each hour of the
<br />day from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 P.m. on Saturday and Sunday
<br />to complete the task. The need for these additional ball fields
<br />is great; PLEASE HELP BY GIVING US SOM~ TIME.
<br />RY AA would also like to thank all the businesses who
<br />helped by sponsoring teams this past season. Their support
<br />helps to keep costs down and make participation affordable
<br />to all.
<br />The failure ro return uniforms at the end of the season
<br />has resulted in the need to charge deposits. Please, return
<br />your old uniforms to your coach; no queations will be ask-
<br />ed. Thank you.
<br />Any problems or concerns regarding the RYAA sports pro-
<br />gram or organization should be sent to Beverly Swanson at
<br />7003 164th Avenue NW., Ramsey, MN. 55303. All concerns
<br />will be discussed at our monthly Board meetings unless
<br />otherwise requested.
<br />The next meeting of the RY AA will be September 24, 1990
<br />at 7:30 p.m. at the Central Park Teen Center. RYA~ needs
<br />your input and involvement; looking forward to seeing you
