Before we began discussing the items on the adgenda, Floyd Kruger announced that he was intending to submit his resignation to the City Council and would not be serving on the park and recreation committee as of January 1, 1987. We regret the departure of such a valuable and long serving man from the committee and will surely miss his experience, knowledge and hours of hard works. The petition form LaMotte Drive was discussed again. The following are the steps to be or that have been taken to address the issues raised in the petition. A. Parking on one side of the Drive was disscussed in earlier meetings and as a result the city of Lino Lakes was asked to extend no parking the entire length of the Drive as was Centerville's existing policy. Both cities posted the road as such, but some of the residents requested the signs be removed in front of their homes and some signs were removed. The policy is still in effect that there is no parking along the western side of LaMotte Drive. B. No alcohol is currently allowed on park property except by permit. We suggest that this policy remain intaut. C. Park hours should be changed to reflect the following: General hours: 6 am to 10 pm Special use /beer permit hours: 8 am to 10 pm These are the hour for set up, activity and cleanup. The park must be vacated by 10 pm. D. Police will be notified when special use /beer permits are issued and a copy of the permit will be supplied for them on the date of the event so they will provide more frequent drivebys. A motion was made by Pelton and seconded by Kruger to suggest the above policy be adopted by the council; vote to accept 2 - 0. Discussion was tabled until the next meeting to finalize the 1987 budget, when more of the remaining P & R committee will be present. Motion by Kruger, seconded by Pelton: vote to accept 2 - O. Skating rink business was started by a walk around the rink to check on flooding, the 3' extension of the northern fence, and general conditions. A good base is in place and the season seems to be proceeding at a good pace. Other rink business included Shawn Campbell's resignation as a rink attendant. Carol relayed a message from Debbie Gonsior notifying us that the warming house had been left unlocked 12 -7 -86 and that a wrench had been left in the driveway. We agreed that the policy of the committee would be to refer this and any future complaints about the rink attendants' performance, skaters, or the facilities to the head attendant, who this year is Tony Rehbein. Tony was flooding the rink then and was notified of this policy and procedure and said he would speak with the attendants. Motion made by pelton and seconded by Kruger to accept this as policy and procedure for the future. Vote to accept 2 - O. Larry Koch was to have ordered and have delivered the new hockey nets and none have arrived yet. Carol will try to get the nets from Larry. Kruger made a motion to accept the Fire Department recommendation 4 `4 submitted last month to the P & R. Motion seconded by Pelton, voted to accept 2 - 0. Tony Rehbein was reminded that the committee had not yet received the rink attendants' schedule and was requested to submit one for Jan /Feb to Maureen soon. Leon was to get the schedule for December from Rick and give it to Maureen. Greg Hill, a coach notified us that there was a mistake on the schedule and the league times should be changed as follows: 6:00 - 7:30 T, Th "Redwings" Pony league 7 - 8 yrs. Greg Hill 5:30 - 6:30 11, W Mites league 5 - 6 yrs. Bob Mann The coaches also need keys to the warming house. Leon was to notify Debbie Gonsior so they could get them. Under new business, a soccer field was discussed for Central Park. It was recommended that one be planned for as we have received word that a possible league may be forming in the area We agreed that a soccer field could be incorporated with the planned football field. The location of the planned hockey rink(s) are a major factor in any other park feature location. Drain Tile under the rinks and possibly in other locations around the park must be considered too. No decision was reached as a new comprehensive plan will be begun this spring and at that time site plans for the parks of Centerville will be formulated. Vote to adjourn at 8:30 pm.
