Motion by Van Hatten, seconded by Johnson, that Ellen Dahl be appointed representative from the Park Board for the Long Lake Advisory Board. Motion carried. Dahl said she would like to reinforce the City Manager's letter commending Maurie for his work on the Long Lake project. Anderson said he would like to commend the Park Board for their interest in the Long Lake Advisory Committee. It is quite a committment, pleased to see so many .eager to take part. C. Long Lake Park Development Options If the city lost the lawsuit regarding. its right to sell the land to Ramsey County, the city has a number of options. This ruling would not affect the south side of the park... There is still a possibility of developing the park as a regional park. We could still have a regional park or develop some other kind of lake access on the present beach area. Gunderman said if the lawsuit appears to have a chance of success, • residents in favor of the park should mobilize. The cost factor and. long term ramifications should be put together and explained to all residents. Van Hatten suggested giving the L.L.I.A. another chance. to talk -- ask them what they really want. Carlson said he totally disagrees. The Fark Board has tried to include them in every step of the planning. Tried harder than any government body. Maurie and Ken Simons have as good a park plain as can be possible. It is far superior than he thought possible.. D.
