I I I COMMUNITY EDUCATION Mounds View Public Schools 2959 Hamline Ave. St. Paul, MN 55113 Telephone 636-3650 COMMUNITY EDUCA liON April 10, 1980 TO: Dennis Zylla, Maurie Anderson FROM: Dr. George Christenson, John Ostlund RE: Highview r1aintenance Standards This memo is in response to the concerns raised at our meeting on Wednesday, April 2nd. The question was asked, "What would be the level of maintenance standards at Highview Middle School should New Brighton not participate in cooperative efforts of maintenance?". The attached chart shows the estimated modified level of maintenance without joint support of community and schools. The purpose of this question, as we understand it, was to enable the City to decide if their services were needed. The effects of this modified maintenance would require less usage of the site to assure satisfactory playing conditions under the modified maintenance program. It should also be mentioned that the concept of a multi-usage site was developed jointly between the School District and municipal input. This site would not have had as many detailed components if it had not been planned "for intense school/community usage. For example: 1.) the irrigation system would have covered half of the surface of the current plan; 2.) a smaller baseball backstop would have been sufficient for two month usage verses a spring/summer usage; 3.) the football/soccer fields would not have been crowned for Middle School usage alone, and would not require as complete an underground drainage system. We look forward to our continued meetings to further discuss the possibil ities of cooperative efforts to assure school and community usage of the Highview Middle School site. GAC/JO:bk
