SHOREWOOD PARK COMMISSION MINUTES TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1991 - Page two PUBLIC INFORMATION COMMITTEE FOR PARK IMPROVEMENTS This item is postponed until Administrator Hurm has the opportunity to talk to Jennifer McCarty to see if she is interested in heading a committee. • USER /RESERVATION FEES The Commission discussed tennis courts. Lindstrom and Wilson, who were at a meeting with Jim Jones, Mark Koegler, and Jim Hurm, said tennis courts were discussed. Jones mentioned that if they were allowed to be reserved, tennis pros could tie them up all the time to give lessons, thats why a first come -first served basis was decided upon. Jones said that, in order to enforce reservations, someone (similar to a rink attendant) would have to be there all the time, and the income generated would not cover the wages of the attendant. The Commission decided that if someone wanted it on a one -time basis for a family party, or other similar reason, they could come before the Park Commission or the Council and make a one -time request. The Commission discussed putting a sign on the courts stating that the courts cannot be reserved, but are on a "f irst come - f irst served" basis. r� SHOREWOOD PARK COMMISSION MINUTES TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1991 - Page three MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR Badger Park Goalposts Christensen said he contacted Dennis Tone of the Minnetonka Youth Football Association today but he was not available.
