Community Education Fields Name <br /> The Commission and Council discussed the joint venture between the City <br /> and the School District for the development of the recreation fields <br /> that are directly north of the Community Education building. It was <br /> noted that the working name for this area has been Community Education <br /> fields and that these fields are anticipated to be used for recreation <br /> activity in 1993. <br /> Jeff Asfahl indicated that if a new name was going to be used to <br /> identify these fields, then such a name should be determined very <br /> shortly before schedules are developed and this area begins to be <br /> identified by a specific name. Additionally, as this is a joint <br /> venture between the City and the School, any recommendation from the <br /> City would have to go to the School Board for its approval. <br /> A number of names were discussed and it was the consensus of both the <br /> Commission and the City Council that the City suggest to the School <br /> Board the name of Oak Knoll Park for this area north of the Community <br /> Education building, west of Proctor Avenue, and south of the City <br /> public works garage. <br /> 6. 1993 Parks Capital Improvement Projects <br />
