SNOW FENCE FOR BARNES ROLLING OAKS SLIDING HILL There was discussion regarding the installation of a snow fence at the location to serve as a divider between the road and the sliding hill as a safety precaution. It would need to be approximately 50 feet to 100 feet. It was felt that there may be snow fence available for use at this site or it could be purchased at minimal cost. Mr. Elling expressed concern regarding the fact that these new additions to the parks should be advertised by flyers etc. McMullen was appointed to get announcements regarding sliding hill sent out possibly through the Community Section of the Anoka Union.

The poles are $6000 for a wood 50 foot pole and the metal poles are $8000 a piece. He suggested that the Commission layout each field and figure out what lighting was needed. Prochniak stated that he and Mr. Elling had gone out and looked at Sand Creek Park in Coon Rapids to see how their lighting was done. Mr. Elling gave the Park Commission a booklet containing much information regarding this matter. -2- (Cont. ) Mr. Elling stated that the Commission should come up with a plan that would consist of a layout, the kind of lighting to be used, show the area to be considered, have a list so that it would be designed in phases and an estimated cost and what grades of play (Jr. or Adult etc).
