<br />Park Board Minutes <br />~~ June 3, 1970 <br />3 <br />Maintenance Activities <br />The maintenance crew has been woxking on the grounds but the recent <br />rain has been a hindrance. The panels on the Foss Road shelter have <br />been removed. A discussion ensued on the possibility of removing <br />the panels at the other buildings. Mr. Gunderman questioned the <br />advisability of doing so at Sunnyside due to the high vandalism. <br />Mr. Smith suggested that the .children themselves be appointed to <br />watch the area. This might be particularly suited for a group such <br />as the Boy Scouts. <br />Recognition of Volunteers <br />Boy Scout Troops 412, 418, 93, 299 and Post 106 have helped in tree <br />planting at Rice Creek, Sunnyside and Pike Lake. They also planted <br />the flowers on the traffic islands at 5th Avenue and Old Highway 8. <br />Mr. Gunderman questioned whether the Park and Recreation Department <br />should be involved in work on County land. Mr. Hagemeyer, requested <br />that the Director send a letter of appreciation to the Sc¢~~ts on <br />behalf of the Park Board. <br />Mrs. Dahl stated that the Scouts would also maintain the area on a <br />weekly basis. <br />Park Program Expenditures and Revenues <br />The report on the current status of park funds was distributed. It <br />will be studied and discussed at a future meeting. <br />Long Lake Acquisition <br />Mr. Gunderman recommended that a report on the progress of the Long <br />Lake acquisition proceedings be included on the agenda for the <br />special meeting of June 10. <br />Park Naming Contest <br />Mrs_ Dahl reported that community groups were contacted with respect <br />to the contest. The League of Women Voters indicated a willingness <br />to participate either through serving on a committee or by providing <br />a judge for the contest. The Jaycees were interested in the contest <br />but at some future date. The Business and Professional Women are <br />willing to assume responsibility for the contest with children <br />submitting suggested names to a panel of judges. They would promote <br />the contest and solicit prizes. It was recommended that the BPW <br />proposal be accepted with the League of Women Voters and the Jaycees <br />represented on the judges. <br />Mr. Weissman suggested that the contest be postponed until fall <br />unless the BPW wished to act immediately. <br />
