He also, explained the choices of what the Commission members could do. <br /> Moved by Commissioner Niziolek and seconded by Commissioner Nystrom <br /> to rescind the recommendation made to City Council to accept donation of <br /> Windsor 3`' Park fenced-in playground area. <br /> Mr. Felska asked to speak, Commissioner Anderson stated to let"Robert's" take its <br /> course as he asked for a second to the motion. <br /> Commissioner Anderson asked if there was any discussion on the commission or if <br /> the Home Owners Association members would like to talk to us; starting with <br /> Commission members. <br /> Commissioner Niziolek stated that this motion is to rescind the previous motion and <br /> not to carry on a future discussion about what we might do in regards to this <br /> proposal. <br /> Mr. Felska, 13855 214th Ave. Elk River,Windsor Homeowners Association(HOA) <br /> board member, stated that the Wmdsor Homeowners Association have been trying <br /> to donate this park for good reasons as stated in past meetings. There shouldnot be <br /> another vote and the Association feel they are not being treated properly. He <br /> indidcated the association is rescinding then original offer as of today. He said the <br /> city should be looking for positive ways to make things happen instead of trying not <br /> to do it. <br /> Commissioner Anderson asked if there was any other discussion. <br /> Commissioner Kallemeyn stated that we have been offered a used car and it has a <br /> couple dents in it and when we talked about it before we said we would take it dents <br /> and all and maintain it.Not restoring it to new but maintain it after an appropriate <br /> fashion. <br /> Mr.Hecker stated that taking on this property would cause expense to the city. <br /> Commissioner Kallemeyn stated the city could choose to have it cost less. <br /> Commissioner Niziolek stated that he wanted to be able to have an additional <br /> conversation and feels bad about how this ended.He did not want to close the door <br /> but wanted to open the door as we cannot accept it the way it is but there is room to <br /> make it happen. <br /> Commissioner Anderson stated that this is another bad way out. It's certainly as <br /> good as any other park.We are taking the easy way out by saying it costs too much <br /> money.We should be figuring out how to make things work instead of how not to <br /> PRIERER .T1 <br /> NATURE <br />
