t Family Skate Nig_ht It was determined that Park and Recreation would have three Family Skate Night's; Sunday, January 9 Sunday, January 23 and Sunday, February 6�', 2000. The time would run from 4:00 — 6:00 p.m. The City will supply the popcorn and hot chocolate, providing the committee gets someone to run the event, such as girl scouts, boy scouts etc. Whoever we get to run the event, will he able to sell their own goods if they desire (girl scout cookies, etc). Letter from Metro�olitan Council Metropolitan Council responded to the letter written by Mr. LeBlanc on behalf of the Park and Recreation Committee. Basically, the letter referenced Mr. John VonDeLinde, Anoka County Parks Director as our contact person regarding trail linkage. NEW BUSINESS Paxk Dedication Fees Mr. March commented that he has surveyed several surrounding cities, and found that several of the cities have raised their park dedication fees to $1,500 per lot. Mr. March recommended that Park and Recreation raise their park dedication fee accordingly from $1,200 to $1,500. Motion by Mr. Navin to recommend to Council to raise the park dedication fees from $1,200 to $1,500 per lot for the year 2000. Seconded by Mr. Larson. All in favor. Motion carried. � Waterworks Mr. March explained that Mr. Rich DeFoe approached him and asked if the City would be i interested in any of the equipment from his ba11 field such as lighting, fence, and/or backstops (just the physical structures, not the land). Mr. DeFoe is building his home in that area and needs to remove these things. Apparently he has already offered the diamond to the Little League. � Mr. March felt it would be prudent to have a feasibility study done to get appropriate trails and easements. Public Hearin� at Plannin� and Zoning Meeting Mr. March stated that Mr. Drilling has purchased the property directly across the street from City Ha11. Mr. Drilling wants to re-zone the property and demolish the house. Mr. March would like the Park and Recreation Committee to consider and keep this in mind for future meetings.
