Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director SUBJECT: May Agenda Report Park Fund Budget I am in the process of getting cost estimates for the park and trail priorities that we established last meeting. I will have those numbers available for discussion at the meeting. Day in the Park Assignments Tracy and I would like the Commission members to volunteer to help with the Day in the Park events on June 6. A sign up sheet listing the various events will be available at the meeting. If you cannot attend the meeting, please call Tracy to volunteer for an activity. Trail and Park Comprehensive Plan I will have a revised copy of the proposed map showing the trail connections and future park improvements. I am hoping that the Commission will make a final recommendation to approve the map. The text portion of the Comprehensive Plan will be sent to Commission members for approval at a later date. Director's Report A. Possible Sheehy Property Opportunities for Park or Trail Development As you may recall, the City acquired a parcel of property located south of Lake Johanna between Ridgewood Road and Snelling Avenue from Mr. Sheehy. I would like the Commission to consider possible park uses for this parcel of property. B. Joint Athletic Facility Planning Update The Cities and School District continue to meet about providing new facilities and improving existing facilities. I will keep the Commission updated as the process continues. C. Tony Schmidt Park Service Radius I would like to have the Commission discuss the area that the redeveloped Ramsey County Park will serve. I am particularly interested in discussing the play structure equipment that will be constricted at the park and how that may impact the City's decision to but new equipment at our nearby Sampson Park. • Minutes City of Arden Hills, Minnesota Parks and Recreation Commission Tuesday, April 28, 1998 t 7:00 P.M. r1WAY 11 1998 Army Reserve Center Call to Order: Chair Kredler called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. Roll Call: Present: Lynette Kreidler, Megan Ricke, Rich Straumann, Dorothy McClung, Don Messerly, Anita Larson, Cindy Walsh, Tracy Peterson, Susan Keim Absent: Lou Speggen, Mary Robinson, Jim Johnson Minutes: Minutes from March 24, 1998 were corrected and then moved by Dorothy McClung, seconded by Don Messerly and unanimously approved.
