INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NQ. 282 ST. ANTHONY..- NEVV BRIGHTON 3903 - 33no AVENUE NOpTNEAST, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55416` March 26, 1980 Morrie Anderson New Brighton Park and Recreation 1975 Silver Lake Road New Brighton, Minnesota 55112 Dear Morrie: I would like to follow-up our recent discussion regarding the playground equipment located on the Silver Oak Schaal property with a recommendation for consideration by the New Brighton City Council and appropriate staff, This consideration should be considered separate from formal termination of the joint powers agreement between the City of New Brighton and School Qistrict #282. The school district purchased the swing set and vita-course equipment prior to initiation of the joint powers agreement. The two new pieces of equipment were purchased as part of the joint powers agreement, with money from both the school district and the city. It would seem to be more efficient to leave the play area at Silver Oak intact and for the City to reimburse the school district for its original contribution to development of the area. The alternative would be for the school district to remove certain pieces of equipment to other sites and for the City to purchase and install other pieces of equipment in those vacated areas, which would appear to be a less-efficient option that would not be cost-effective for the parties involved. Therefore, I am proposing School District #282 for the school district would Oak School to the City of solution to this question the situation. that the City of New Brighton donate $2000.00 to equipment purchase at other district sites. In exchange, give ownership of all playground equipment at Silver New Brighton. This appears to be an equitable re- and would certainly be the most efficient way to handle If you have any questions please call me at your convenience, Sincerely, Tom McMu/l l en cc: Dr. Ness
