Fart ~3oarc n`inutes -2.- PTOVer~ber ~, 1979 .~ Eogan felt it ~~aas an eye openir_g for sore Council memk~ers. Very necessary to have the z~.eeting. Opened his eyes to his proble~, and perhaps the proble^~ of r.1a_ny ne=~a Fark Board. r~enk~ers and that is lack of history or background. F?onan stated he talked with Anderson about this and Anderson is now in the process of putting a Fark Roark inforr.?.ational booklet together for each member. Anderson stated he c~~ould like to have any addi- tional information to adc~ to the booklet by mid-r?ovemk>er so that the book: can re reac~.y by early L`ererzber . Carlson said. that even though sae haven°t put on paper c7hat a park should be, we all have pretty much the same ideas but Carlson sensed from the P~~ayor that he had a more packaged approach to parks. In the P~!ayor`s feelings all parks are completed and there is no need. to have professional staff. Carlson cid. not feel a parr is ever finished, hoc?ever, there is a difference of philosophy bett~aeen the Farl•°° Poard and trZe PTayor . [-Iestling felt racily about the meeting because he had felt the mayor trouRht the Fark Board ~~zas doing a good job but he did~°z®t relay this idea at the meeting. Olson noted the miscorn~:?unication and lack of knowledge .between the Park L'oard and Council. There were things the r~Qayor knec~ but no one else was acaare of . There is lack. of comrunication between both croups. Blor~cruist stated it ~a~.s a good r=zeeting. IIe cti~as glad that Loth. Fark Board and Cour_ci1 had an opportunity to see the other side. Fie felt the interpretation of how -, the N?ayor felt regarding call darks should be the same°' was taken -too strongly> In his oc~n discussions sti~ith -the mayor he f_e1t the T~ayor canted guidelines for the parrs; ball diamonds, rinks, etc. There is a need for . communication. T~lould like Fark Board to let him know what he car_ coo to help. Fern felt there was a lack of cor.~munication. '?e should make sure there are guidelins for park development. He cans disappointed that ore Council mEr~ber did not show up at the joint meeting. Don°t know how t>>e shoulc', schedule redevelopment of parks. Griz~shac~~ felt the meeting was good if it is held twice a year anc~. tca~o or three months before CIP to gain feed- rack. It was a positive meeting. should be held at least once a year and preferably twice. .Guidelines for parks -should not be regimented. t''hen a park F~oard item is cn Council agenda, one or two Fark Eoard representa- tives should. be preser~t~ It is difficult for Roger to speak on behalf of the Fark Board and may come off as having a stacked deck. Council members should. be informed of citizen r~.eetings with Fark Board and of citizen response. r"any of -the citizens felt. they werenft heard
