<br />Sports Commission h�as put three conditions on our endorsem�ent
<br />as a part, of the recommended legislative bonding package for the
<br />upcoming legislative session:
<br />2. They have r,equested a match from
<br />th�el, City for in 1
<br />itAal c,onstiruc.
<br />t i on c o s t, s. We, have indicated t,o
<br />them thati tih�e Council has in
<br />th�e pas,t taken position that
<br />0
<br />th�e Cii'ty, is will i t,o provide
<br />the land, thriough Ramsey Cou�n�ty,
<br />but that t,he consitruction costs
<br />should com�e fromthe state. They
<br />have now indicated that an
<br />acceptable position would, be for

<br />committee th�at would w to secu�re
<br />siolme additional outside

<br />Project. W'e have indicated to
<br />the Commission staff th�at we will
<br />recomm�end this Position to the
<br />Council because it appears to be
<br />a v,elry workable alternative.,
<br />We have stressed the word, attempt,

<br />3 61 They're
<br />asking for the resolution of
<br />the
<br />prob,lem concerining
<br />the sinow
<br />0
<br />dump#ing on th�e site. We believe
<br />welve
<br />made significant
<br />mov,ement
<br />in this direction. The new
<br />Director
<br />of Parks, and Recrea-
<br />tion for
<br />�Ramse Y COunty has indicated
<br />th�at
<br />the
<br />adjoining, property,
<br />which is
<br />no lon�ger useld for garden spaces
<br />wou,ld
<br />be acceptable t,o
<br />be used,
<br />by Ramsey County Public Works
<br />tio,
<br />dump
<br />snow., If tihie, Coun�cil
<br />pursues
<br />the applica,tion, then we will
<br />schedule
<br />meetings with
<br />Ramsey County
<br />to a,ttem�pt to finalize
<br />this
<br />part
<br />of' the application.
