Attached is a letter that our department sent to the St. Paul Pioneer Press <br />following phone discussions and the conclusion of the event. Also attached is an <br />acknowledgment letter from the Pioneer Press. <br /> <br />Pre-approval to place the medallion in Roseville Parks was not sought by the Pioneer Press. <br />Based upon the clues and the unusually high traffic in the park, staff was first curious <br />that it might be in a Roseville Park late in the day/evening on Sunday, January 28, 2007. <br />First thing on Monday, January 29 we called the winter carnival committee who indicated <br />it was not a winter carnival committee event and referred us to the Pioneer Press. After <br />speaking with Carolyn Robertson at the Pioneer Press, she was noncommittal as <br />to whether it was in the park or not but assured us that if it was and if there were <br />damage as a result of this placement, the Pioneer Press would restore the damage. <br /> <br />r can assure you that staff (Parks and Recreation Department and the Police <br />Department) as well as some members of the Parks and Recreation Commission patrolled <br />the park throughout the days and nights of the event and monitored the situation closely. <br />Photos were taken along the way. It is very difficult to see the actual magnitude of <br />the damage with the snow cover but it is anticipated that there will be some. It is our <br />intent this spring to assess the damage and together with the Pioneer Press come to a <br />resolution. <br /> <br />Thank you and if you have any further questions, concerns, or need clarification, please <br />let me know. <br /> <br />3/1 0/2007 <br />
