COMPREHENSIVE PARK DEVELOPMENT PLAN PUBLIC HEARING - APRIL 20, 1978
MINUTES
The public hearing was called to order by Chairman Mand, 7:50 p.m., April 20, 1978
at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Blvd. N.W., Anoka, Minn. 55303
Commission Members Present: Nichols, Rogers and Strandmark
Commission Member Absent: Anderson
Also Present: Tim Erkkila - Midwest Planning & Research
Tim Erkkila made the same presentation regarding the park development plan for Steve
Nichols' benefit since he is a new member on the Commission and had not heard it before.
Mr. Erkkila stated this plan should be updated every five years and it would be a good
idea to hire a consultant once a year for advice and direction.
Our best source of funds would be grants. Judy Strandmark asked Mr. Erkkila how much
it would cost to prepare grant applications. He could give no figure since some
applications, such as tennis courts, are easy and others are very difficult. At
present we have the best chance of obtaining a LAWCON grant. Judy then asked Tim to
let us know if he heard of a grant program applicable to Andover.
MOTION by Rogers, seconded by Strandmark, to close the public hearing. Motion carried
unanimously. (There was no public input since no residents were present. )
In view of the limited budget, Mr. Erkkila suggested to pick a project per year focusing
on neighborhood parks.
When asked as to the present status of the Comprehensive Park Development Plan, Mr.
Erkkila said as far as he was concerned it was done. He will pullout the section that
makes reference to land acquisition, rework the acquisition cost per acre and also
check on the dry vs. wet acreage in a few parks. At the March 16th Council meeting
he was asked to also include manpower and maintenance costs in the park plan. This he
did not propose to do explaining he could not accurately predict what would be needed
in the way of manpower or types of equipment. It is a personal choice - staff might
not agree with his way of thinking and should not be a part of the plan.
MOTION by Strandmark, seconded by Rogers, that the Park/Recreation Commission recommends
the City Council approve the final version of the park system analysis as presented by
Tim Erkkila of Midwest Planning at the public hearing on April 20, 1978.
Vote on motion: Yes - Mand, Rogers and Strandmark
Present - Nichols
Steve Nichols voted present as this was his first meeting and had not had a chance to
review the plan. Motion carried.

on the City Council's May 2nd agenda.
MOTION by Strandmark, seconded by Rogers, to adjourn. Meeting adjourned 9:30 p.m.

For the next hour) the Commission made several changes in the park section in the

Dear Residents:

The City of Andover is proposing the construction of a double
tennis court in the park on l40th Lane and Crocus St. An
informational hearing is being held on March 13, 1978, 7:30 p.m.
at the Community Center for the purpose of receiving input from
you on locating this court in your area.
Funds for the construction are received as 50% State of Minnesota

year, however, the 1978 funding requires construction in a more
densely populated area.
