December 7,1983 Park Board Minutes Page 5 .Carlson asked about alcohol in the .park. Ken Simons stated that no alcohol is allowed in Ramsey;C©unty parks but Long Lake could be an exception if so desired. However, the park will not be officially added to Ramsey County ordinance until its completion in 1985, therefore_ no alcohol wil be allowed in the park until that time. Ken.Smons responded in thenegative. John Kelley stated he wanted a copy of the Park Board minutes., ordinances and resolutions. -Van Hatten said he has a problem with the park closing. Ken Simons stated the County is concerned with ;.the equipment in the park during the developing. It may be a safety hazard: if there are people in the area of construction. Anderson stated that New Brighton's procedure-is not as strict but we usually do not put up park rules until the park is com- plete. John Kelley asked about ice fishing on Long Lake. It was noted that there is an existing access. MOTION BY DAHL, SECONDED BY VAN HATTEDT, THAT THE SOUTH SHORE •F LONG LAKE BE AN ACCESS FOR SNOWMOBILES AND ICE FISHERMEN IN THE WINTER. MOTION PASSED. Ken Simons asked if the motions would be going to the Council for approval. Anderson and Blomquist saw no reason for them to be Council approved. V. New Business B. Long Lake Joint Powers Agreement Anderson said the Long Lake Advisory Committee and County staff have spent time designing facilities, mostly the bath house, beach fencing and gate. Have met with the architects and there is a difference of opiniori_anthe design aspects. The question that .keeps coming up is who will be operating the facilities and how will they be administered. The Joint Powers Agreement' gives the City permission to operate the beach and .other facilities but it expires in 1984. Anderson recommends extending. the agreement in its present form for 5 years. Have. talked to Met Council and they said the decision .is Ramsey County`s. Anderson supports the extension because the City's intention is to operate sensitive facilities in the park to ease_the impact of the park on the ;.residents.. We do have funds avail- able for operational costs from the money acc-rued from the sale of the park.
