062176 PK MINPARK COMMISSION
Minutes June 21 1976
The June 21st meeting of the Park Commission was called to order
by John Breckheimer, substituting for absent chairman Bill Wyatt.
Keeler, 'Gray, Breckheimer, McCuskey, Congdon, Drews and Heiland
attended.
Manor Build
The co' nditi�on of the structure is poor. We will ask in the July
newsletter for a work crew of Manor area residents to rebuild Other-
wise the 'building must be torn down.
Ca thcart Buil ding -
Architect Vern Watten is working on the plans.
Jim will ask Roger Hartman to paint the hockey boards at Cathcart
and Badger.
Keeler suggested that we look into the possibility of installing
a chain fink fence around the baseball field at Cathcart. The $6400
cost would be financed by signs purchased by local businesses.
Twenty 4 x 8 signs at $300.00`a piece would cover the cost. The
side of the fence toward the hockey rink would be removable to open
up the winter fre skating area. Jim Heila`nd moved and Win secon
that we ask the council to put up the fence and advertising boards.
Such boards would be tastefully and uniformly painted. Motion passed.
A letter from Mike Naylon of the Minnesota Environmental Sciences
Foundation, Inc. a.-non-profit organization, was read. In it Mike
suggested a series of steps in planning the future of our parks.'
The Park Commission is well aware that a comprehensive plan is
absolutely necessary in order to qualify for available funds and
grants. Frustration results because we have little or no money for
even the most modest planning costs.
Win asked that Wally Salt, parks employee, attend at least one meet-
ing a month to understand more completely the parks plan of action.
Win moved and Gloria seconded that we meet with the council after
their June 28th meeting to discuss park funding and park employees.
Motion passed.
Heiland moved the meeting adjourn. Motion passed.
Respectfully submitted,
Judy McCuskey, Secretary
