3 <br />November 4, 1987 Park Board Minutes <br />Anderson said that even if the Fire Department took <br />over Parkview and New Brighton took over some of the <br />middle school/high school, there would still be space <br />available for. these other programs to continue. <br />Anderson said the middle school/high school has good <br />accessibility too. <br />Eichers said he feels this idea would make more sense <br />than trying to start from scratch. This should be <br />explored. <br />Anderson said the Park Board has looked and know what <br />is out there. Would like some suggestions from the <br />Park Board to the Council. <br />Anderson said this facility is very close to New <br />Brighton. We have talked about possibilities with <br />Mounds View, Shoreview and Arden Hills but these are <br />not likely. Did have a talk with Shoreview, they are <br />considering a community center but they would not be <br />interested in a joint effort with New Brighton. <br />Eichers asked if there is enough parking. <br />Kalina said there had been talk at one time about <br />adding more parking on the west side. <br />Eichers asked what kind of uses New Brighton would <br />get from that facility. <br />Anderson said a senior center - place to play cards, <br />meeting rooms, a room for tumbling/dance, gym use, <br />pool use is critical. We probably wouldn't need more <br />than one floor (5 or 6 rooms). If we moved some <br />programs into that site, St. Anthony Community <br />Services would probably move into that building and <br />we could run more joint programs (we are doing some <br />joint programming now). <br />Johnson asked if there would be a possibility of <br />having wedding/anniversary receptions in there. <br />Anderson said not likely but it depends on St. <br />Anthony's ordinances, etc. <br />MOTION BY VAN HATTEN, SECONDED BY EICHERS, TO PURSUE <br />THE POSSIBILITY OF A JOINT FACILITY WITH THE SCHOOL <br />DISTRICT OF ST. ANTHONY AND THE CITY OF ST. ANTHONY. <br />
