GENTHON POND
REQUIREMENTS
ADDITION
PARK
DEDICATION
The commissioners discussed acquiring land vs. money for park dedication.
Commissioner McMullen stated that the city comprehensive plan
recommended tot lots in developing areas and, that none were located in the
area. Mr. Haas felt that perhaps the plan should be reviewed by the
commission and suggestions made to revise the plan. Chairperson Kieffer
summarized the board's position on the Genthon Pond Addition: to accept
money in lieu of land, but to watch for future development, as this appeared to
be one area possibly lacking in a park/tot lot.
MOTION by Lindahl, seconded by Woods, to require cash in lieu of land on
this parcel of Genthon Ponds Addition. Passed unanimously.
It was the opinion of the Genthon Ponds' representative that it would be
cheaper to hire an appraiser for the parcel, thus allowing him to determine park
:-J dedication.
1990 CAPITAL BUDGET UPDATE
Chairperson Kieffer suggested acquiring park signs (No Hunting, No Motorized
Vehicles, etc.) if money is surplus in the 1990 capital budget. He also asked
that Todd Haas determine if softball tournament monies had been deposited.
Commissioner McMullen addressed Ham Lake soccer field grants. Mr. Haas
will request information concerning this type of grant, as this may be a possible
way to up-grade parks.
The 1990 Capital Budget will be placed again on agenda.

KELSEY-ROUND LAKE PARK, discussion
Mr. Haas reported that Phyllis Hanson had been recommended as a likely
candidate for park design, and that he would get a resume from her. Inquiries
would be made about the planner of Parker's Lake in Plymouth.
Chairperson Kieffer reiterated that until something is done about Kelsey-Round
Lake Park, it is best not to apply or receive other grants.
NORTH METRO SOCCER PRACTICE BOARD
MOTION by Lindahl, seconded by Anderson, to find an acceptable location for
a soccer practice board that will be installed and maintained by North Metro
Soccer Association. Passed, with Commissioner McMullen abstaining.
:~) Motion by Lindahl, seconded by Woods to adjourn the meeting at 8:25 p.m.
