Mounds View and Arden Hills are. in the process of considering similar agree- ments.

Motion by Dahl,. seconded by Olson, to accept the revised draft of the Highview Joint Powers Agreement, Motion passed. Discussion Van Hatters stated that the last decision on the agreement was a bit hurried and not examined closely by the Park Board. He was concerned that the Park Board. may be rushing into this. Anderson didn't see that the Park Board was rushing into the agree- ment. The agreement has been studied for a relatively long time and all angles have been. looked at. The dollar amounts have dimin- ished to reasonable amounts. He cannot think of any other information that would help in making the decision,. Anderson also stated it will be on-the Council agenda May 13th. Christenson commented that they would not have been able to do the Highview work without the help of New Brighton City staff. There were some risk areas and through .the joint efforts the City and School District are able to come up with the best idea for both the School District and the City. Christenson asked if there were any other concerns anyone had re- garding the School District. Van Hatters wondered who was responsible for the ball fields at the CRC. Anderson stated the City schedules the fields at the CRC.
