SP"'r60 -2- November 26, 1974 know what would bea reasonable measurable standard. even if we could arrive at a standa~d, we wouid have way to measure the light. Further, to find a The Planning Commission has suggested that the lights be requi,red to be off by a certain hour. We would note that the City POliCy, as approved by the Council motion in adopting the Administrative Code, is that no activities are permitted in the parks beyond 10:30 P.M., except with special permission of the Council, and lights will be turned off immediately after an activity has been completed, regardle.ss of the hour. We are also concerned that the increased crowds at the footballgame~ will require more than the one policeman who has been responsible for policing football games to this point. We would suggest that~as a condition of the permit, the School District be required to hire as many policemen as the Police Chief may require .for crowd ahd traffic control when the field is to be used. At the present time, Chief Holmes volunteers his own services during football games. The initial feeling of the Chief is that two men will probably be required. We would also note that the int~nt of this project is to provide a multi-use facility which will be open to various groups. Construction and maintenance responsibilities are to be divided between the School District, the City and the Mounds View Football Association. Apparently, tentative oral agreement was reached between the former Park and Recreation Director, representatives of the School District and representatives of the football association as to the responsibilities of each. Our understanding of this agreement is as follows: 1. The School District is to construct the lighting and pay the operational costs thereof; 2. The City will construct one ag-lime softball field and one practice football field on the School District property; 3. The City will maintain these fields and will receive an annual contribution from the Mounds View Football Association for the reseeding and resodding of these fields; 4. The City willi program the use of these two fields in accordance with School District use policies.
