It appears that the County Health Inspector will give us a little latitude for this year, so we <br />can minimize our outlay to a hot dog steamer at around $400 and some minor other things. We expect it <br />should be on the order of $1000-$1500, plus supplies and food cost. We will be able to give it a good try <br />and see if there is any profit. <br /> <br />Festival of the Lakes 8K Run <br /> <br />Chairperson Branch updated the committee on the progress of the 8K Run. The permit is with Anoka <br />County Parks for review. Creative Kids Academy has brought on two more sponsors, Kids Abilities and <br />Northern Lights Pediatrics and has decided to order 50 t-shirts for the Kids Run, but not limit the number <br />of racers to 50. The first 50 will receive t-shirts with any participants registering after 50 receiving some <br />other small token like a medallion. <br /> <br />Earth Day ~ Saturday, April 30, 2011 <br /> <br />th <br />The committee was scheduled to clean the City parks on Saturday, April 30 but was rained out. In <br />discussing alternative dates Ms. Stephan suggested the committee clean up the lakeshore at Hidden <br />Spring Park. There is 2 years worth of dead grasses and dried plants that not only look bad, but are <br />keeping the new growth from coming up. The committee agreed to meet at 5:30 p.m. at the park on <br />th <br />Wednesday, May 11 to work on this project with Ms. Stephan. <br /> <br />Centennial Soccer Club’s Use of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park <br /> <br />The committee’s recommendation for Centennial Soccer Club’s use of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park <br />soccer fields was approved by City Council at the April 13, 2011 City Council meeting.

At this time there has been no further information or requests from the Soccer Club. <br /> <br />Burial Mounds <br /> <br /> <br />Committee Member Seeley has been involved with members of the community and the Science Museum <br />to continue to research and educate on Indian Burial Mounds.
