Chairperson. Bill Wyatt called the meeting to order on March 1, 1976. Breckheimer,

The group started to fill in a large map of Shorewood with the information gained
from individual assignments. The completed map will show existing development,
areas of probable development, terrain of the open spaces, and zoning. The
information shown on the map is to serve as an informational base for long range
park planning.
When Keeler and Frazier arrived, work the map of Shorewood was, stopped and
will be continued at - the next Park Commission meetin, Parch 15, 1976.
Frazier and Keeler had been asked to attend this meetin to discuss the park com-
mission's working relationship with the council. After discussion, it was decided
that a more effective relationship might exist if:
1. The Park Commission and Council have some face -to -face meetings.
2. The Park Commission keeps the Council informed of the information
it gathers and the basis of its decisions.
3. There is more sharing of agreements, disagreements, and questions
regarding Park Commission plans between the Council and Park
Commission before final decisions are made.
4. Bill Keeler highlights Park Commission minutes at Council meetings.
In addition to discussing the Council -Park Commission working relationship, Mayor
Frazier had four items of business:
1. He shared a letter from the Mayor of Tonka Bay to A. J. Lee, Director
of the Hennepin County Department of Public Works, requesting that the
County provide a Bike Trail on County Road 19. Since the Shorewood
Park Commission had already drafted "a letter to Mr. Lee requesting
the same thing, no action was necessary to sign Tonka Bay's letter.
They are requesting that Orono and Excelsior also sign it.
2. Information regarding Everything Goes was presented. Heiland moved
that the Park Commission recommend participating in this ten- community
activity. Breckheimer seconded it and it passed.
3. It was recommended that the Park Commission consider following up on the
Town Meeting recommendation that the South Shore Park Commissions have
some joint meetings. The Park Commission has already met with the Excelsior
Park Commission and Wyatt and Rhoda Brooks will follow -up on this. It
was suggested that Deephaven also be invited.
4. Shorewood needs a representative to the Community Services for summer
recreation planning. Wyatt said that a volunteer for this job would be
found at the next Park Commission meeting.
