October 15, 1992: Correct as written.

1993 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS BUDGET
The Commission briefly reviewed the proposed 1993 Capital Improvements
Budget, which was taken from the proposed Five-Year Capital Plan. It
was noted the development of Kelsey-Round Lake must continue; however,
some adjustment will need to be made for the proposed sports complex
south of the present City Hall complex.
It was agreed that no action would be taken on the budget until the
beginning of 1993.
KELSEY-ROUND LAKE PARK, CONTINUED
Mr. Haas reported he has not been able to obtain a price for exploring
the existence of Indian burial grounds in the park, but it appears that
any cost would have to be paid for by the City. The work must be done
through the State Archaeological Office.
The Commission agreed Mr. Haas should pursue the matter.
ANDOVER CITY HALL COMPLEX, DISCUSSION
Chairperson Kieffer explained the City Council has approved the idea of
developing a sports complex on the property south of the City Hall
Complex. Mr. Haas reported Mr. 0' Toole was going to talk with the Corps
of Engineers about the grading. He will be designing the layout. The

concept will be the pie-shaped layout with four ballfields per quadrant.
The grading would not be done until next spring. Once the layout is
approved, neighboring residents will be notified of a public hearing on
the project.
Chairperson Kieffer stated the Andover Athletic Association has been
looking at a building in the center with bathroom facilities as well as
concessions. They had also talked about soliciting funds from private
sources. The Commission discussed sprinkling and lighting of the
fields. It was suggested that the irrigation for sprinkling should be
installed at the time the fields are developed. If funding is limited,
the lines can be put in for the lighting at this time with final
lighting to be done when funding is available.
No further action was taken on this matter. Mr. Haas will continue to
work with Mr. O'Toole and on the site plan.
1992 CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Mr. Haas stated he doesn't have the October report yet. Class 5 has been
_ \ put in the parking lot of the Hidden Creek 5th Addition park. Mr. Starr
,-..-J stated all funds from the Capital budget have been spent. All the
equipment purchased for the different parks has been installed. No
action was taken on this item.
CHAIRMAN'S REPORT
Commissioner Paulson stated he obtained copies of Adopt-A-Park programs
of other cities, and he will provide copies for the Commission.
Commissioner Auger reported it appears the Park Grant Program through
the State may not have many funds available for new grants. He felt the
grant for Kelsey-Round Lake Park is secure, but he will research this
further.
Mr. Starr stated there will be ten ice rinks this year. The goal is to
have them ready for use by the second week in December. Advertisements
for ice rink attendants will appear in the Anoka County Shopper in the
next week or two. There will be paid attendants at the City Hall, Hawk
Ridge, and Crooked Lake sites.
MOTION by Anderson, Seconded by Auger, to adjourn. Motion carried on a
6-Yes, I-Absent (Woods) vote. The meeting was adjourned at 8:06 p.m.
