Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes Dec. 20, 2016 Page 3 Council Liaison Holmes informed the Committee Members that Roberts Management Group (RMG) had an ad in the Community Newspaper asking for donations for the Arden Hills Foundation. Committee Member O’Malley let the PTRC Committee members can ask a couple the new businesses that could be asked for donations including: Balance for Life Fitness Center, Staples, Pop Culture Frozen Yogurt, Big 10, George’s Shoe Repair, Tavern Grill, and Lindey’s Steakhouse. Committee Member Van Valkenburg reminded members that if we ask for specific donations businesses are more likely to donate. Chair Straumann discussed an article that was handed out at the meeting regarding skiing in Arden Hills and on TCAAP property. The plan was written ten years ago by an Arden Hills resident who is very involved in cross country skiing. Guest/Future Member Paul Beggin stated that the role of the PTRC Members is to coordinate communication with these groups. When major events have taken place in the state, there is usually one group that allows themselves to be the focus for it. The PTRC Members went through each slide and made changes that they would like to see at the next meeting. The PTRC Committee decided to create four main slide topics: Parks, Trails, Recreation, and Community Partnerships. B. Johanna Marsh Tennis Court Update Interim Assistant Public Works Director Polka and Staff Liaison Knoll met with the Homeowners Association of Johanna Marsh to discuss the different options for the replacement of the tennis court. They had a great discussion about what the homeowners would like to see in their neighborhood. After reviewing the costs for a tennis court it is not feasible to build one there. City Staff would like to continue working with the Johanna Marsh Homeowners Associations to come up with a plan. They would like to have a joint meeting/open house with residents and the families in the neighborhood. 4. UNFINISHED BUSINESS 5.
