Proposed improvements include:
Picnic shelter - $4, 000
Single Tennis Court - $15, 000
Discuss west park access
Sand stated that money for these improvements will come from the
Park Fund. Revenue for this fund comes from park dedications and
charitable gambling contributions. The Park Fund presently has a
balance of $516, 430.75.
Sand asked Park Director Buckley to review the improvements with
the residents. Buckley briefly reviewed some of the history and
goals of the park system;
- park philosophy and goals were to secure and develop a park
in each of the neighborhoods in the City.
- Parks would be developed to provide "active" play areas
(ballfields, play equipment, tennis and basketball courts and
skating) . Natural passive areas would also be preserved in
each of the park areas.
- Buckley displayed the Ingerson Park master plan and explained
where the shelter and tennis court would be constructed in
the park. After the presentation, Buckley asked for citizen
response.
Page 2 February 26, 1991 Park Minutes
H. Alexander was satisfied with the present and proposed
development of the park. He and his grandchildren use the park.
K. Wilson lived on the park for years and has enjoyed the
openness of the park. He has observed over the years park useage
by children and adults. "It has the best sliding hill around. "
M. Flor observed the park being used a lot by children sliding
and playing on play structures. The basketball court is used by
young adults. Adults spend their lunch time in the park. She
did not like the satelite outside her kitchen window in the
parking lot. (Satelite was placed in park during summer
playgrounds time) .
J. Folsom walks frequently in the park. It is ok for people to
"cut through" their property to get to the park. She would like
a tennis court in the park.
The residents did not object to the picnic shelter or tennis
court.
Buckley stated that there is no immediate solution to a western
park access. A strong response from the neighborhood would help
indicate the necessity for securing an additional entrance.
OATH David Moberg completed his Oath of Office.

- Council will be doing some road improvements and seal coating
this Spring.
- A street assessment policy is being prepared to help finance

Page 2 January 22 , 1991 Park Minutes
1991 PARK & TRAIL Buckley reviewed the 1991 proposed park and
DEVELOPMENT trail development. A large majority of the
development will be contract projects for
asphalt companies. The economy indicates that this will be a
lean spring for contractors. Early bid projects could attract
variable bids. Schedule:
- Submit 1991 development recommendation to Council - late
February or early March
- Prepare specifications - advertise for bids in March
- Start construction in April or May
The committee reviewed the trail development listing estimated
cost proposed trail development. It would cost approximately
$115, 216 if all the listed trails were asphalted.
Committee asked Buckley to provide individual master plans for
Cummings, Floral, Hazelnut and Chatham Parks.
Prepare an overlay of proposed trails to see if they would
connect to Ramsey County short and long range trail development.
Committee asked for input from Ingerson neighborhood at next Park
meeting to discuss tennis court construction and securing west
access to Ingerson Park.
• PROGRAM REPORT: Severtson reviewed the 1990 Spring, Summer and
Fall programs with the committee. 18 new
program activities have been offered. Some of the new
afterschool activities are: magic, cartoon drawing,
storytelling/dramatics, acting, ceramics, candle making, cooking,
adult/senior trip. 2 ,806 individuals have registered for those
activities, with $41, 730 user fees collected.
Severtson mentioned that the class fees were increased by 25% for
the Winter and Spring programs. There was some concern that
increased fees will prevent some low income children and
particularly families with multiple participants, from
participating.
It was suggested that a program fund be established to help
subsidize lower income families. This could be advertised
through the Town Crier, etc.
ADJOURN Meeting adjourned at 9: 52 PM.

1991 PARK & TRAIL Buckley reviewed the 1991 proposed park and
DEVELOPMENT trail development. A large majority of the •
development will be contract projects for
asphalt companies. The economy indicates that this will be a
lean spring for contractors. Early bid projects could attract
variable bids. Schedule:
- Submit 1991 development recommendation to Council - late
February or early March
- Prepare specifications - advertise for bids in March
- Start construction in April or May
The committee reviewed the trail development listing estimated
cost proposed trail development. It would cost approximately
$115, 216 if all the listed trails were asphalted .
Committee asked Buckley to provide individual master plans for
Cummings, Floral, Hazelnut and Chatham Parks.
Prepare an overlay of proposed trails to see if they would
connect to Ramsey County short and long range trail development.
Committee asked for input from Ingerson neighborhood at next Park
meeting to discuss tennis court construction and securing west
access to Ingerson Park.
PROGRAM REPORT: Severtson reviewed the 1990 Spring, Summer and •
Fall programs with the committee. 18 new
program activities have been offered. Some of the new
afterschool activities are: magic, cartoon drawing,
storytelling/dramatics, acting, ceramics, candle making, cooking,
adult/senior trip. 2 , 806 individuals have registered for those
activities, with $41, 730 user fees collected.
Severtson mentioned that the class fees were increased by 25% for
the Winter and Spring programs. There was some concern that
increased fees will prevent some low income children and
particularly families with multiple participants, from
participating.
It was suggested that a program fund be established to help
subsidize lower income families. This could be advertised
through the Town Crier, etc.
ADJOURN Meeting adjourned at 9 : 52 PM.
