Attached for your information is a suggested agenda for <br /> this Recreation Board meeting. Also attached for your <br /> information and review are the draft 5/10/88 Recreation Board <br /> Meeting minutes (agenda item #3) , some examples of park and <br /> recreation ordinances (agenda item #5 .4) , some financial park and <br /> recreation information from 1987 and 1988 (agenda item 5 .5) , and <br /> the softball lights information that Mr. Dave Anderson <br /> distributed at the previous Recreation Board meeting (agenda item <br /> #6) . <br /> Comments on agenda items are as follows: <br /> 5 .1 - RECENT CITY COUNCIL ACTION <br /> At the 5/16/88 City Council meeting, I provided the City Council <br /> with some Recreation Board recommendations that were made at its <br /> - ""*5/10/88 meeting . The City Council concurred with the Recreation <br /> Board recommendation on the water skiing course on Lake Orono <br /> 0 north of Highway 10 and on the installation of a public pay phone <br /> in Orono Park . The City Council also concurred that the need for <br /> a lifeguard at Orono Park needs to be closely evaluated before <br /> such action is taken and agreed to have the capital outlay items <br /> installed in Orono Park and Lions Park . The City Council was <br /> "luke warm" on having Phil Hals getting involved in the Handke <br /> pit warming house as this facility is on school property. <br /> However, they had no problems with Phil simply investigating the <br /> need and cost for such a shelter. The City Council was very <br /> enthusiastic about the "name that park" contest as suggested by <br /> the Recreation Board. <br /> Item 5 .2. - "NAME THAT PARK" CONTEST <br /> I am pleased to inform the Recreation Board that the City has <br /> officially purchased the Wilderness Park (Lamm Property) as of <br /> 6/1/88. Accordingly, the City can move forward with its plans to <br /> have a contest to rename the so called Wilderness Park and the old <br /> City dump site. I believe the best time frame to conduct this <br /> contest would be for information to be distributed in the early <br /> part of June, and especially, at the City Council booth during <br /> the Community Festival on June 11 . It would be nice if the <br /> 720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420 <br />
