April 7, 1982 Park Board Minutes Page.3 second-kind is called a contested hearing. Very much like a trial. Same Board makes the decision.. It is about a six month process. The Long Lake Improvement Association has probably requested the contested hearing. They have a right to demand this. It appears there may be a: problem with their petition. They submitted the old petition that went to the City Council a year ago. Tf it is illegal, they-might not be able to get a new petition. There is no way 'a person who signed the petition would know that it would be submitted to the Environmental Quality Board. City Council would still like to have the informational hearing. Van Hatten asked if this would delay the park process, Anderson said no. Date fo.r the Environmental Quality Board Staff Hearing may change.. Gunderman asked if Met Council has given the green light. Anderson said yes, staff is thorough. Anderson said the City will now be asking the County to look at the termination part of .the plan but before the City acts on it, it will come back. No motion is needed, it is just for your'information. Anderson said he .will be meeting with Gayle Bromander to discuss the potential for access to a museum.- Gunderman said it .sounds like clot of up-front money is needed for a museum. Want to see the plan - not convinced a massive building can be put on that site. Anderson mentioned that. Saturday, April 24th is a community tree planting-day at Hansen Park. Have. about 100-150 trees.. The City Council and Park Board are invited. Ken Johnson said the 4-H is interested in planting seedlings wherever we want them. Gunderman asked if any churches need trees. Our .:parks are in pretty good shape as far as trees. Anderson said we have planted 5,000 seedlings and approximately 10 survived. Gunderman asked if there is any place that they could plant and we could .transplant later? Anderson said no. Van Hatten asked the status of the puppet Wagon.
