The <br /> North Heights Lutheran Church contractor has deposited some top soil in the <br /> area of the pond; it will be his responsibility to grade this area evenly to <br /> the edge of the pond and eliminate the drainage ditch which runs on park <br /> property. Miller and Buckley will monitor to ensure this is done. <br /> When grading is completed, the area will be seeded by Parks personnel (probably <br /> in late August). <br /> Proposed 1987 Budget <br /> Summer Playground Program <br /> No increases or changes are planned in this budget for 1987. <br /> Rautio asked Committee input re fees for this program, since Finance <br /> Committee last year had discussed raising fees and including t-shirts. <br /> They are now $5.00 per participant. It was determined that Arden Hills' <br /> fees at this time are comparable with neighboring communities; committee <br /> recommends no change in fees, and not including t-shirts. <br /> Skating Rinks <br /> 1986 expenditures are anticipated to be about $1,000 over budget, mostly in <br /> Acct. 104 (rink attendants). Last winter's weather was such that the <br /> skating season extended one week longer than normal, and there were fewer <br /> days when rinks were closed. <br /> • The 1987 Budget is increased by approximately $5,000. Two additional rinks <br /> will need to be maintained, and an attendant provided for the new Cummings <br />
