Gift List and Criteria for Use of .Donations <br />Page 6 <br />Anderson said he gave the Park Board a copy of the donation list <br />done previously as a starting point. <br />Johnson said he would like to see ranking. What we think is most <br />important. Have something general but it will show we had some <br />pre-thought. <br />Carlson said not to prioritize individual items but as a group of <br />items. <br />Johnson said that was his intention. <br />Anderson said he would like to have the list reviewed annually. <br />Van Hatten also agreed not to rank individual items forcing us to <br />use the donation money for the first item on the list when it may <br />not be the best choice at the present time. <br />Dahl asked if .the prioritized list would be given to the donator <br />to choose what. their money would be used for. <br />Anderson said he has given donators alternatives in the past and <br />they haven't had a preference. Would like to publicize the list <br />so that the public can see-the items the Park Board has in mind. <br />Dahl. said she would like to see some kind of criteria set for -the <br />money as there is for parks. What kinds of things should be put <br />on the list? <br />Anderson said he would like to see the list go to the Council and <br />have it approved. <br />Johnson suggested having a price range set. <br />Ander-son suggested starting with rough criteria. <br />Van Hatten said he would like to see price. <br />Johnson said to add picnic tables and. benches to the list and delete <br />"golf course." Add grills too. <br />Dahl. said that according ao her criteria the memorial, on previous <br />list, would be eliminated - doesn't fit. <br />Carlson-said he wouldn't consider. ice maintenance equipment on the <br />list. <br />The Park Board shot out some ideas for criteria: <br />-Visibility. <br />-Usability" <br />-Non-consumable.. <br />Van Hatten asked if there should be a time schedule on "usability" <br />Carlson said he wants something permanent. <br />Anderson said the group of items prioritized last could be left off <br />entirely so that there are only two groups to choose from. <br />Van Hatten sad'they should be left in - someone else may choose <br />them. <br />
