The regularly scheduled meeting of the Andover Park and
Recreation Commission was called to order at 7:35 p.m.,
Thursday, December 15, 1988, in the Council Chambers of
Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Boulevard N.W., Andover,
Minnesota.
Commissioners present included: Marc McMullen, Larry

Anderson.
Staff present included: Todd Haas.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES

should be $3,400.
A motion was made by Commissioner Sabel, seconded by
Commissioner Ferris to approve the minutes for the December
I, 1988 meeting as amended. All voted yes. Motion carried.
MONTHLY REPORT - FINANCES OF PARK
There was some discussion, in Frank Stone's absence, of
the budget allotted for the warming houses at Hawkridge and
Prairie Knoll.
MELANIE DELUCA - INTERN DISCUSSION
Melanie DeLuca reported that St. Cloud would have
interns for the Spring and Summer semesters, and that it
would be more attractive to offer the intern either a flat
fee or pay the person at an hourly rate.

There was discussion on the types of assignments Andover
would have for this person. It was decided to get the
application filled out, and request a person for the Spring
session and leave the salary section open. The intern could
assist with park programs, park development and layout,
interface with the athletic associations and do some budget
analysis.

Marc McMullen stated that the City Planner, Jay Blake,
would be coming to the next Park meeting to talk about
grants.
A motion was made by Jeff Kieffer, seconded by Ron
Ferris to direct Melanie DeLuca to continue the process of
getting an intern for the Spring semester by filling out an
application for an intern from St. Cloud State. All voted
yes. Motion carried.
Marc McMullen stated his concern on wanting to take a
look at Melanie DeLuca's budget before it goes to the City
Council for approval.
Todd Haas stated he had talked to Frank Stone on the
telephone and Frank reported that one cannot use 1989 monies
in 1988. Frank is going to the Council on December 27th to
get approval to get the warming house and attendant for
Hawkridge.
There was further discussion on whether Prairie Knoll
warming house was approved. The City Hall and Crooked Lake
warming houses would be opening on December 21st. The
Hawkridge warming house will be approved but the money is not
available until January. There is a problem with getting the
telephone and electricity to the Prairie Knoll site, so it
won't be until December 1989 that this is accomplished.
A motion was made by Ron Ferris, seconded by Larry
Strootman to order a warming house at Hawkridge out of
unbudgeted, dedication fees from 1988 and direct Frank Stone
to go to the Council to consider and allow the Park
Commission to staff the warming house at Hawkridge during the
month of December, 1988, before the 1989 budget goes in. All
votes yes. Motion carried.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TASK I. CONTINUED
There was discussion on the report prepared by Westwood.
Todd made copies of the final report and distributed to the
commissioners.

Also, there was discussion on what the value of an acre
of land in Andover would be worth. Todd Haas was previously
directed to research the market value of land in Andover and
to obtain information on what several properties (over 10
acres inside and outside the MUSA) actually sold for during
the past year. This information would be needed to determine
a new formula for park dedication fees.
The commissioners will review the report from Westwood
and give their comments at the next Park meeting.
A motion was made by Ron Ferris, seconded by Gretchen
Sabel, to direct staff by the next Park meeting to prepare
the two land valuations (with the appropriate background to
defend the numbers), and put this into a formula, and prepare
a drafted recommendation (from the text of the existing
ordinance) to review with the Park Commission before it goes
on to the Planning and Zoning Commission for approval. All
voted yes. Motion carried.
It was also suggested that Jay Blake be present at the
first Park Board January meeting to assist with the drafting
of this recommendation.
The question again was asked if some hay was put down at
the Northwoods Tennis Court site. Frank Stone was not
present to answer this question, but Todd Haas will check
with him on this item.
ADJOURNMENT
A motion was made by Gretchen Sabel, seconded by Ron
Ferris to adjourn the Park Board meeting at 8:50 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
(Park.16)
