In her report she said that conservation was stressed, <br /> but in general the programs were not appropriate to the needs of <br /> Arden Hills . <br /> A petition was prepared and submitted by residents near the Co. <br /> Rd . E playground area asking for year around playground facilities . <br /> Their requests were itemized and include a fence around the entire <br /> area, volleyball court , sandbox, tennis courts, and other appro- <br /> priate equipment. This committee will get bids on a fence as soon <br /> as possible. <br /> Mr. Bernard Edmonds , St. Paul Superintendent of Parks, was contac �ed , <br /> and his advice was sought with regard to the planning and equipping <br /> of Arden Hills Parks. We will send maps to his office for evalu- <br /> ation , and he will have someone work on plans. His estimated fee <br /> will be, he thinks, less than $ 100/park area . in view of Mr. Dale <br /> Willie ' s failure to supply us with material as he promised , as <br /> well as the high- cost of Midwest Planning ' s services, we feel this <br /> may be a very welcome answer to our needs at this stage of park <br /> development . <br /> Our 1969 budget needs are due by July 1st, as well as the projected <br /> budget for the next five years . <br /> A full time Parks and Public Works Supervisor has been hired , his <br /> salary to be divided as follows: 20% by P 8 R Committee; 80% <br /> Public Works Committee. <br /> A letter from Roseville was read asking support from Arden Hills <br /> In their request to Ramsey County to buy a large piece of land and <br /> develop it for an 18 hole golf course . The land , partly in Shore- <br /> view , is bounded by Victoria and West Owassa Blvd . There was a <br /> motion by Lanasa , seconded by Boss , to endorse their plan. <br /> The next meeting will be June 18th , at 7 :30*, at the home of Tom <br /> • Lanasa, 3153 Shoreline Lane. <br /> Submitted by <br /> Ruth Cadwell <br /> *Please note change of meeting time! <br />
