March 15, 1982 Park Board Minutes Page 4 The new beach location is going to be more difficult to reach than the existing beach. The present location seems closer to more_ people,=_If moved may be subject to fees. Concerned with manpower and staffing. $2,800 litter and disposal• doesn't seem_to suffice to pick. up after 7,000 people per .day. Concerned with promises in relation to the budget. Jim Senden 507 17th Ave. N.W. Speak in favor of the regional park. Virginia Sande and Sue Brustman's comments were very good. Congratulate the Park Board, City Council and Met Council staff on working on this job. Think. the results are very evident - the plan is very good. Meets the needs of the people and protects the environment. Congratulations on the efforts of many years. Feel it is an outstanding job and you. have .been. very patient. It has been rough. Sooner or later a decision has to be made. A longer delay is not appropriate. Urge the Park Board to approve the plan. There is room for improvement but think the plan has been up graded through the years with input from all sources.. It's better to go with input from all the-years than last minute input. Thanks. Hope you vote for approval. Dan Knuth 2259 Rockstone Lane His homesite is adjacent to Ramsey County-and the propsed trail site of the park. Is in favor of the Regional Park. Feels the staff is competent. The regional concept is the only way to go. .Saw that Pat.' Commers and.. Marv... Cook were on .the Long Lake Study Committee.. Comment was made that the group. was lead by Ramsey County. Have had conversa- tions with Marv Cook and no one leads Marv_Cook. Have used the area in its state, have cross country skiied - there is a danger because. of snowmobiles. The area is being damaged by motor bikes. Needs to be developed now. $2.6 million spent on .Long-Lake restoration; 50% from federal.,. 4, state,. 4 local.. Major affect would be on .improvement of water quality. It bothers me-that New Brighton residents are looking at the park in an isolated way. Have shopped Rosedale, Fridley, Minneapo- lis, Bloomington.'-Have dined in .Roseville, Minneapolis, St. .Paul. Swim at Spring .Lake Park. Have made an effort to look at the individual .people when going to these other places and they look like everyone in this room. Not afraid to let people use the park. Use it now before it deteriorates. Dan Cable. 2036 29th .Ave. N.W. Heard the comment that the people that live on the lake don't-use it. That's their-disadvantage. In favor of the regional park as it stands.
