SPRING PROGRAM Buckley reported that there are 40 men's teams, 20 Co-Rec
teams, 17 women's teams that will be playing in the Arden
Hills Softball leagues this season. 5 men's teams and 3 co-rec teams have
been turned away because of field shortage. In addition, 16 Control Data
teams will also be playing on Arden Hills' fields this season.
We are receiving a good response for youth T-ball, softball and soccer
programs. The Youth Athletic Association programs are experiencing
continued growth. North Suburban Soccer Association has over 1100
children playing this summer, 18% of the registrations are Arden Hills
children. Little Lakes Litttle League Baseball has over 1000
registrations this year, 19% are from Arden Hills. 750 children played
baseball in 1988. There will be a real field shortage for soccer and
baseball fields in the Arden Hills/Shoreview area this summer.

SUMMER PROGRAM Buckley presented the summer program proposal for review.
New programs are: summer youth gymnastics at Valentine
Hills School, tennis team co-sponsored by Northwest Tennis Club, and Bird
Club. Enrooth moved, seconded by Otto, that summer program be presented
to Council for approval. Motion carried.
ARSENAL SPORTS Buckley stated that the North Ramsey Sports Complex
COMPLEX proposal was presented to Ted Schulte, commander of the
Twin City Arsenal on April 4. Mr. Schulte stated that he
would immediately send the proposal to the proper channels. He hopes that
some response will be received in April.
PARK IMPMTS. Buckley stated that he will seek Council approval to have
the City Engineer prepare the pathway specifications for
blacktopping the Hazelnut Park pathway from Glenpaul to Stowe Avenue.
$25,000 is budgeted in 1989 for Trail Improvement. City Engineer Barry
Peters stated that the preliminary cost for the project would be around
$20,000. It is hoped that the bidding process can be completed soon, so
the project can be scheduled for completion in early summer.
MISC/NEW BUSINESS Buckley noted that the new park on North Snelling has
not been officially named. Arden Hills parks have
historically been named after: past mayors (Cummings, Crepeau), original
landowners (Perry, Ingerson, Sampson), neighborhood names (Hazelnut) or
after additions or geographic locations (Arden Manor, Chatham Trails,
Freeway, Valentine).
Alan Montgomery moved, seconded by Enrooth, that the committee recommend
to the Council that the new park site on North Snelling be named Royal
Hills Park after the Royal Hills Addition. Motion carried.
NEXT MTG. The Annual Park Tour will be scheduled for Tuesday, May 23.
Committee members are asked to meet in the Village Hall parking
lot at 6:00 P.M. The tour will include visiting the park sites and trails
in the Village.
