Public Forum on New Brighton Exchange Parks <br /> Director Breuer stated that this Public Forum was advertised by putting a public <br /> hearing in the paper, on the website, information sheets distributed at the Town <br /> Hall Meeting and also left for people to pick up at the New Brighton Community <br /> Center. PREC members handed flyers out, and a notice was put in one set of <br /> City water bills. Residents were asked what they would like to see in the New <br /> Brighton Exchange Park. Particularly we are focusing on the North Park. Guests <br /> and residents were asked to complete a "Request to Speak" form before <br /> speaking and they are asked to give us their name and address before speaking. <br /> MOTION BY COMMISSIONER LUNDBERG, SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER <br /> FIELDS, TO OPEN THE PUBLIC FORUM. MOTION CARRIED. <br /> Brooks Walbon, 561 10th Ave SW, spoke and requested space for a full Lacrosse <br /> field in the New Brighton Exchange park area for the Mounds View Lacrosse <br /> Association. The field in Shoreview they are currently using is not the full size. If <br /> a field is put at North Park, it could be used for lacrosse (in spring and summer), <br /> soccer and football (in the fall). It would give an opportunity to grow the lacrosse <br /> sport. Boys and girls can participate. The participants come from Arden Hills, <br /> New Brighton, Mounds View, Shoreview, Circle Pines and right now one from <br /> Roseville. It would be a nice central location for Mounds View and New Brighton, <br /> 1 <br />
