Parks & Recreation Committee <br /> Meeting Minutes <br />07-06-11 <br />Mr. Paul Palzer, Public Works Director informed the committee that the installation of the irrigation <br />cannon system will begin July 18, 2011. The Committee questioned whether this would at all interfere <br />with Fete des Lacs? Committee Member Amundsen also stated there is dead grass that probably will <br />need to be replaced. <br /> <br />Consideration of Reserving/Renting of Parks <br /> <br />Committee Member Seeley felt the fee to reserve/use a park should be kept minimal, but the deposit for <br />cleanup should be higher, for instance $25/$150. She stated the biggest problem Anoka County Parks <br />has is this mess left after an event. A lengthy discussion was had as to whom to charge, how to charge, <br />and the reasons behind possibly charging for use of the parks. The committee tabled this item until the <br />next scheduled meeting for further discussion. <br /> <br />Bald Eagle Water Ski Shows <br /> <br />st <br />Bald Eagle Water Ski Club sustained damage to their jump during the July 1 storm but are repairing it. <br />Large trees also fell on the Trailside Park property during the same storm. The trees are owned by St. <br />Paul Water Utility who will have them removed from the property.
