ANOKA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
At the January 16, 1992 meeting Chairperson Kieffer had expressed concern
regarding motorized vehicles in the parks. He questioned the type of recourse
available if the vehicles were reported rather than caught. The commissioners
discussed this concern and others regarding the enforcement of parks,
snowmobiles etc. with Tom Wells, deputy assigned to Andover, at their
February 06, 1992 meeting.
Chairperson Kieffer contends that the Round Lake area is abused by
snowmobiles and 4-wheelers. Seedlings are being damaged by snowmobiles.
Pleasant Oaks has similar problems. Chairperson Kieffer inquired whether a
"park patrol" would be effective in these areas.

The commission agreed to delete the words, excessive use of alcoholic
beverages or, in Section 2, 2.2 of Ordinance 47. Consumption or possession
of alcoholic beverages is defined explicitly in the second paragraph of that
section (which in turn refers to Section 2.3A). Mr. Haas will put this change on
the City Council agenda as a non-discussion item.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Chairperson Kieffer gave an up-date on park dedication for the Weybridge
development as discussed at the City Council meeting on February 04, 1992.
The park board had expressed a concern about a large tract of land (such as
Weybridge) that had been dedicated and then sold off in smaller portions,
feeling that they were not getting their fair share of dedication. The city
attorney examined the situation and advised that, in the future, there should be
a signed contract stating the park fees, thus eliminating debate over what they
should be.

The next meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission is scheduled for the
first Thursday in March, March 05, 1992. A representative from the community
school and Kelsey grant information will be on the agenda at that meeting.
