1 CITY OF ARDEN HILLS • MEMORANDUM DATE: April 16, 1997 TO: Parks and Recreation Commission FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director CS SUBJECT: April Agenda Report Day in the Park I have included a flyer that lists all of the activities that have been planned for this year's Day in the Park Celebration on June 7. A smaller version of this flyer will appear in the utility bill mailing this month. Tracy and I will be asking the Commission members to help in different areas during the celebration. We will have more specific details at the May meeting. 1998 Park Fund Budget and 5 year Capital Plan Update I have enclosed a copy of the existing 5 year plan. The Commission should begin discussing the 1998 budget recommendations and expand the 5 year plan to include 2002. I will bring information on which playground structure is currently scheduled for 2002. Please keep in mind • that the Hazelnut shelter building is in very bad shape. I intend to recommend to the Commission that a new building be scheduled in 1998. That may mean that future trail segments may be delayed until 1999. Review of 1997 Park Maintenance Projects I will be providing the Commission with an update of which trail, basketball, and tennis court areas will be resurfaced and sealcoated this year. I have also budgeted for new hockey rink lights at Freeway Park. If there are projects or areas you would like to see improved in 1998, please give me your suggestions at the April or May meeting. Staff will begin the budget process in May. Tony Schmidt Park Update I have enclosed a copy of a letter from Denny Probst to Ramsey County Commissioner, Tony Bennett. Commissioner Bennett has told Mayor Probst that the beginning stages of planning for the Tony Schmidt Park redevelopment will occur in 1997. I will attempt to contact Greg Mack before the April meeting to verify this information.
