CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> • MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: September 23, 1997 <br /> TO: Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director <br /> SUBJECT: September Meeting Report on Agenda Items <br /> Park Tour Comments <br /> I have included comments from the park tours at the June and August meetings. Members were <br /> supposed to visit Cummings, Perry, and Royal Hills on their own. Any comments or suggestions <br /> regarding facility or field improvements at these locations should discussed. <br /> Long Range Budget/Park Fund Spending Plan <br /> Commission members should prioritize the improvements. I will also be prioritizing potential <br /> improvements throughout the park system. Keep in mind the trail plan and plans for future trail <br /> development need to be included in the Park Fund spending plan. <br /> The City's Park Fund currently has approximately $450,000. The proposed annuity spending <br /> • plan could potentially spend down the balance within a 5-7 year time period. The Commission <br /> may want to consider the various options for spending each year. It may be advantageous to <br /> have one or two members volunteer to come up with a couple of spending plans and present <br /> them to the other members to discuss. <br /> Tony Schmidt Park Redevelopment Task Force <br /> The City of Arden Hills has currently received nine applicants for the two Arden Hills resident <br /> spots on the Ramsey County task force. The Arden Hills Parks and Recreation Commission will <br /> be asked to elect two representatives. We can discuss this issue further at the meeting. <br /> Director's Report <br /> Tracy Petersen will not be able to attend the meeting because she will be attending the Healthy <br /> Youth Coalition Meeting that evening. <br /> I will update the Commission on the status of the park dedication fee associated with the Welsh <br /> development at the meeting. I am still in the process of discussing the issue with Welsh and the <br /> City Council. <br /> Rehbein Construction was the low bidder on the repair of the Cummings Park wash-out. The <br /> work should be completed near the beginning of October. <br /> • 1 have been working with the Cities of Shoreview,New Brighton, Mounds View and the Mounds <br />
