September 9, 1994
To: Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Kevin Batchelder, Administative Assistant
Subject: September Meeting Cancellation
DISCUSSION
The regularly scheduled meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission in September is
cancellled. The Commission will reconvene at its regular time on October 11, 1994. The
cancellation is primarily due to the Election Primaries which are being held on September 13,
1994, our regularly scheduled date. The election polls are open until 8 p.m. and we can not, by
Minnesota Statute, conduct official city business until after the polls close.. After 8 p.m., City
Hall will be a very busy places with elections judges and City staff attempting to verify the results
of the voting, so it will be difficult to stage our meeting.
There are no matters of urgency which cannot wait until the October meeting. The
following is a brief report of various items of interest regarding parks or recreation.
1. A request from the Covent of Visitation for the reservation of Rogers Lake Parks tennis
courts will be forwarded to City Council for their consideration.
2. A request for a report on the use of Chemical Fertilizers from Commissioners Norton is
being researched by City Staff.
3. Commissioner Linnell has raised some concerns with the landscaping project on -going at
Ivy Falls Park following construction of the new pond. Staff is discussing how to repair
the wildflower seeding which was mixed with grass seed and ruined. This item will be
addressed prior to final payments and the conclusion of this project.
4. Final Plans and Specifications are being prepared by Joni Giese for the development of
North Kensington Park. City Council approved her concept plan at their August 16th
meeting.
5. The enlargement of the free skating rink at Friendly Hills Park has been finished and the
warming house has been relocated.
