Minutes of Park and Recreation Committee Meeting, July 23 <br /> Page five <br /> felt site preparation at North Snelling should not be delayed, should defi- <br /> nitely be done in 1986. Construction of hockey rink/lights and permanent <br /> shelter at Cummings could be delayed until 1987, thus allowing time for <br /> discussions with residents of the area as to whether there are any objections <br /> to construction of rink and lights in the area. Committee felt it preferable <br /> to do in 1986, however. <br /> While Committee felt it important to "move immediately" on construction of <br /> fields if the Arsenal land becomes available, they felt this an extremely <br /> unlikely possibility for 1986. Latest correspondence indicates release of <br /> land by Arsenal cannot be considered until the water clean-up project is com- <br /> pleted. <br /> Motion was made by Otto, seconded by Gillies, that the proposed Park Main- <br /> tenance, Skating Rink, Self-Sustaining Recreation, and Summer Playground <br /> Program budgets be recommended for adoption. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> The 1986 Park Fund budget will be discussed again at next meeting. <br /> Management Goals for 1986 <br /> Committee reviewed Buckley's management goals for 1986, and concurred with <br /> the general content and direction. <br /> Updates <br /> - Boardwalk has been constructed in Crepeau Nature Preserve. Germination <br /> and growth of plantings has been much better than expected. <br /> - Judging of Flower Gardens. Subcommittee will meet next week and send results <br /> to Shirley for publication. <br /> Adjournment <br /> Motion was made by Messerly, seconded by Peterson, that the meeting be <br /> adjourned at 10:30 p.m. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> Submitted by Shirley Marshall. <br /> THE NEXT REGULAR MEETING OF THE PARKS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE WILL BE HELD <br /> AUGUST 27, 1985, 7;30 P.M.
