Andover Athletic Association agreed to work with Meadow Creek on
the dates in conflict. AAA requested a copy of Meadow Creek scheduling
for their information.
Motion was made by Commissioner Sabel, seconded by Commissioner
Anderson, to accept the baseball/softball schedule as discussed. All
voted yes. Motion carried.
The Park Board discussed the reported possibility of the Andover
Athletic Association providing fences to protect the bench areas of game
fields. Gary West, AAA, stated that they don't know what money they will
get, if anything. Mr. West felt that the best route to obtain the fences
would be to approach the city council and ask them to appropriate money
for it since they are p~ing the liability insurance on the fields.
Public Works Director Frank Stone recommended that rather than make
this request now to the council, to instead make sure this fence issue
is in the budget next year for safety purposes. Staff agreed to con-
tact their insurance company for their recommendation.
Roger Sharon, AAA, requested walkways out of the parking lot so
that players and spectators don't have to jump over the cables.
Mr. Stone agreed.
Discussion was held with regard to possible baseline requests for
the upcoming baseball/softball season. Andover Athletic Association
representatives requested both the 65-ft. and 60-ft. for the various
age levels. Staff and Board members pointed out the difficulties with
this request. Following much discussion, Mr. stone stated that the city
would put in double plugs. The bases will be available in the boxes
for teams to install where they wish.
Soccer scheduling was held with representatives of Meadow Creek
Christian School and North Metro present with requests.
Meadow Creek: Requesting field #l from 3:30-6:00 on the following dates:
9-13, 9-19, 9-20, 9-22, 9-23, 9-26, 9-30, 10-3, 10-4, 10-6, 10-10,
10-11, 10-14, 10-17, 10-25, and 10-28.
North Metro: Requested fields #1 and #2 for under 8 at City Hall, Forest
Meadows, Hidden Creek #1 and #2 from April 15-october 8, 1988,
Mon.-Thurs. beginning at 6:00 p.m. Tournaments to be held 7-23
thru 7-31-88 and the fall tournament to end 10-8-88 with a need
for all the fields then.
Motion was made by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner
Ferris, to accept the soccer field requests as discussed. All voted
yes. Motion carried.

Park and Recreation Meeting Minutes

GOLF COURSE DISCUSSION
Lyle Haney, Finance Director for the City of Coon Rapids, addressed
the Park Board explaining their need to expand the Bunker Hills Golf
Course. Two of the additional nine holes would be expanded into the
City limits of Andover involving 29 acres. The City of Coon Rapids
will be presenting their 79-acre proposed lease to the Anoka County
Board of Commissioners at their 3-17-88 meeting.
Chairman McMullen reported that while the land is being developed,
it was originally dedicated for park use for a natural area. Andover
Mayor reportedly had some reservations whether this would be in the
interest of the people. Chairman McMullen queried whether Andover
should receive park dedication.
The question of liability was raised. Mr. Haney stated that the
City of Coon Rapids has a blanket policy for all athletic events on
city property and a special one for the Bunker Hills Golf Course. They
would assume the liability for that 79 acres. He stated that the county
also has a blanket liability coverage.
Motion was made by Commissioner Anderson, seconded by Commissioner
Sabel, to table further discussion until the 3-17-88 meeting, directing
a referral to the City Attorney to see if there will be a park dedication
fee required. All voted yes. Motion carried.
Mr. Haney agreed to return on 3-17-88 for further discussion.
REPORT FROM PUBLIC WORKS
Assistant City Engineer Todd Haas discussed information in deter-
mining the raw market value of land in the southeast corner of Andover
called Old Colony Estates. Park Board would then determine the required
park dedication comparable to that required of the adjacent Hills of
Bunker development.
Much conflicting discussion followed. Commissioner Sabel suggested
taking all the land along the creek, a neighborhood park, and $10,000.
Chairman McMullen requested that the park dedication be equal to that
required of the Hills of Bunker. Mr. Haas agreed to contact the developer
to find out how much of the nature park he will give the city, rewrite
the foruula for determining equal park dedication, and present the infor-
mation to the Park Board at their 3-17-88 meeting.
Mr. stone reported that a resident adjacent to City Hall addressed
the council requesting that a post and cable fence be placed all along
City Hall in the back. It would amount to approximately 840 ft. of
fence for an approximate total cost of $1,500. This resident reportedly
wants the fence because he has trouble with three-wheelers and snowmobilers

going across his land from the picnic area. Staff recommended just
signing the area. The matter will be further investigated. No formal
action was taken.
Mr. Stone reported that city council had no objections to the
Park Board's contacting private individuals or businesses for their
contribution toward equipment, etc., for exercise trails.
Staff discussed avenues to pursue in obtaining additional staff
help. The Park Board recommended that staff contact the University of
Minnesota and the vocational school.
Motion was made by Commissioner Sabel, seconded by Commissioner
Ferris, that name plates be obtained for new Park Board members and
the secretary. All voted yes. Motion carried.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further discussion, Chairman McMullen declared the
meeting adjourned at 10:22 p.m.
