* * * MEMO
May 25, 1993
TO: Cindy Severtso
FROM: John Ostlund
SUBJECT: Mounds View Hi h chool Tennis Courts
On May 10, 1993 , the Mounds View School Board approved the bids to
construct eight new tennis courts at Mounds View High School. This
was made possible by the community support of the School Bond
Referendum for four courts. Four additional courts will be
constructed with contributions of $92, 000 from the Light Brigade
• and the Mounds View Tennis Boosters.
The courts will be installed with fences, lighting, and adjacent
parking under the current budget. The Tennis Boosters are still
looking for contributions to assure completion of further needs.
This list includes nets, wind screens, spectator bleachers on
additional asphalt areas, trash enclosures, and signage. _
Mounds View School Policy #1330 assures community usage of School
District facilities with priority usage by local park programs.
The Arden Hills Park Department has an excellent history of
coordinating summer usage of the school's facilities with Mounds
View School District. The new tennis courts will enhance the
City's ability to facilitate community programs.
This memo is to solicit your contributions. My understanding from
previous conversations is that the Arden Hills Park Department is
looking to contribute $26 , 625 to complete this excellent tennis
complex.
Thank you for your consideration. I would be happy to further meet
with yourself or others to work towards this end.
