<br />Mr. Sweeney will relay the desires and intentions ofthe Park and Recreation Committee <br />to the City Council. Mr. Sweeney explained the top three (3) goals of the City Council. <br /> <br />1. New Public Works Site - Eagle Trucking. <br />2. Establishing a Water tower and Water tower fund. <br />3. Downtown Revitalization. <br /> <br />Ms. De Vine stressed that residents urged the need for youth activities. <br /> <br />Ms. Lien agreed she has heard a lot of comments from residents stating that they do not <br />want to go to Lino Lakes for activities for their children. Residents would like to see <br />activities within the city. Ms. Lien suggested CPR classes through the Fire Department, <br />or babysitting classes - there are a lot of young teen-age girls that would be perfect for <br />such classes. These could be coordinated through City Hall. <br /> <br />Mr. Sweeny noted that a lot of money would be required for these activities, when you <br />consider the downtown revitalization. Residents would like to see the current Public <br />Works site stay a focal point ofthe city. Mr. Sweeney shared that he would like to see <br />the current City Hall become a youth center, and build a new City Hall with a library or <br />post office attached, at the current Public Works site. <br /> <br />Mr. Porter added that the YMCA representative could also coordinate these activities <br />through the City. Since the ball fields will be ready for use in the spring, the Little <br />League will be bringing most of their activities here. This will provide more activities for <br />children within the city. Mr. Porter suggested we coordinate a Open House at the Fire <br />House. <br /> <br />Intern <br />Mr. Porter questioned whether the committee was still interested in pursuing an intern. <br />The intern would receive college credits in lieu ofa salary. <br /> <br />The committee felt this would be a good resource for the Park and Recreation <br />Committee, and gave Mr. Porter their approval to go ahead and speak with the <br />University. <br /> <br />Letter ofInterest <br />Mr. LeBlanc submitted a letter of interest in filling any upcoming vacancies on the Park <br />and Recreation Committee, should any arise. <br /> <br />Laurie LaMotte Park Dedication <br />Mr. Navin felt it would be appropriate to have a dedication at the Laurie LaMotte Park. <br />Since the ball fields are ready for use, and there has been so much involvement from past <br />and present members of Park and Recreation for this park, he felt the Park and Recreation <br />Committee should do some type of inauguration/dedication of the park showing it's ready <br />to be used. Mr. Navin suggested inviting past and present Park and Recreation <br /> <br />5 <br />
