c ;` ~. - t ~`, g t. Q ~- ~~ ~ ~ ., ~ ~:_ right®rt ~z ~ June 30, 1981- To: Long Lake From: Maurice H. Re; Development of Long Lake Park The City has received your petition with accompaning letter from the Association and a copy of Mr. Brechwridge'sletter. This material will be forwarded to the Park Board on July 1, and to the City Council on July 14, 1981. The City is currently in the process of considering entering into a joint powers agreement with Ramsey County for development, operation and maintenance of the site. A decision on the joint powers agreement could occur as early as July 14. When the City and the County have adopted a joint powers agreement, the next step will be~preparation and adoption of a master. plan for development, maintenance and operation of the park. We appreciate your concern about the future use of the site and I wQUld like to reiterate my statement that the Staff, Park Board and Council are committed to citizen involvement in City affairs and encourage frank and open discussions at all times. The staff is available at your. convenience. The Park Board meets on the first Wednesday of each month and the City Council on tl~ie second and fourth Tuesday. All meetings are public and residents are encouraged to attend. If you are.. interested in having an informational meeting regarding the park, staff is again willing to attend and update you on the project as well as dis- cuss your concerns and recommendations. In order to facilitate communications in the upcoming months, it would be helpful if the Association could provide the City with names, addresses and phone numbers of officers and/or spokespersons for the group. We will attempt to keep you as informed as possible throughout the process. The City h©pes to use this valuablQ resource in the most appropriate way possible. t^P~ recognize that we may not always reach total con- sensus on all matters but hopefully through our combined efforts we will be able to adequately serve the needs of New Brighton resic'hent~'.
