The cost of the system and its installation will be paid for with AAA funds, Our vendor is Excel Electronics and they are currently licensed in the city of Andover. I understand we will go through the normal permit and inspection process required of the City, if any. We had previously discussed the possibility of City of Andover personnel installing the speakers. As our vendor contract covers complete installation, assistance from the City is no longer necessary. Our board has also discussed the issue of ownership ofthe system. We would like to retain ownership and exclusive usage rights of the entire system. Unlike permanently installed fixtures, such as scoreboards, this system is mobile and not permanently installed in anyone place. This includes the speakers. Part of our purchase agreement with the vendor would be to remove the speakers in the Fall, to protect them from the elements and maximize their useful life.

DISCUSSION Attached is letter from the Andover Athletic Association to considering naming of fields 1-4 at Sunshine Park. The individuals are as follows: Merle Prochniak, David O'Toole, Roger Sharon, and AI Grabowski. Attached is the City of Andover's policy for naming of parks. Note: Once the Park Commission makes the recommendation, this will be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration. ACTION REQUESTED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested as recommended by the Andover Athletic Association to review and approving the naming of fields 1-4 at Sunshine Park. Respectfully submitted, :::(~~ Cc: Stephen J. Gompertz, President of Andover Athletic Association (sent bye-mail) Mayor Mike Gamache (sent bye-mail) ,(I_DOVIR Andover Athletic Association 1685 Crosstown Blvd. . ~....A-r~ Andover, MN 55304 763-755-0805 RECEIVED August24,2009 Mr. Ted Butler Chair, Park and Recreation Commission FEB 2 4 2010 City of Andover 1685 Crosstown Blvd. Andover, MN 55304 CITY OF ANDOVER Dear Mr. Butler: The Board of Directors of the Andover Athletic Association respectfully requests consideration of naming Sunshine Park Fields 1, 2, 3, and 4 in honor of four Andover residents (Merle Prochniak, David O'Toole, Roger Sharon, and AI Grabowski) who were instrumental in the founding of the Andover Athletic Association, construction of Sunshine Park, and establishing one of the most successful youth softball programs in the state. Together, these four have established programs and facilities of lasting value to the City and residents of Andover. Merle Prochniak Merle was the person who conceptualized the Andover Athletic Association 25 years ago that now provides athletic experiences for over 3000 children each year. A night of phone calls pulled the right people together, and on May 10, 1984, the first meeting was held to determine how to build an association. After getting the Association and its programs in motion, Merle recognized the needs of a fast growing city, and next focused on creating a facility to support those programs and more. Merle founded the Andover Recreational Development Authority (ARDA) that launched the Field of Dreams project, or what is now known as Sunshine Park. Merle pursued creative approaches to acquiring land and resources to build the park, fields, and a concession building. Eventually, he coordinated the efforts of 293 volunteers whose names appear on a plaque inside the concession building. The park now supports several youth athletic organizations and is an extremely valuable city asset. Merle later served terms as AAA's Media Director and Equipment Director. David O'Toole Dave was AAA's first Vice President and Softball Director. As such, he established the philosophies and rules that made the program an immediate and continuing success, and which has generated countless happy memories and learning opportunities for Andover's youth and parents. Dave joined Merle on the ARDA Board, and is often credited for tirelessly ensuring that progress never stopped. There are numerous stories of seeing Dave at the site every evening after work down on his hands and knees taking care of one construction detail or another. Legend has it that Dave practically laid all the sod himself. If Softball in Andover has a "father", it's Dave. Roaer Sharon Roger replaced Dave as Softball Director when Dave moved on to focus on the Field of Dreams project. Roger held this position for seven years, and also served a term as AAA's President. What Dave started, Roger molded and guided into a solid sustainable program. AAA's youth sports programs are known for their focus on good sportsmanship, fun, and open participation. One talk with Roger and it quickly becomes evident where the foundation of these philosophies took root. Many tend to overlook Roger in AAA's history because of his unassuming, quiet nature. He knew that the program existed for the kids and not for his ego. Roger was a model for the best in youth sports administration. --- - --- August 24, 2009 (Cont'd) AI Grabowski AI guided the softball program through it major growth years as the City's population exploded. He expanded relationships with neighboring softball programs, established training programs for coaches, and demonstrated that recreational programs could develop talent to match that of much more competitive programs without sacrificing the focus on fun and sportsmanship. AI served in this capacity for seven years, and then went on to serve on the Park and Recreation Commission for many more. AI founded the Field of Dreams softball tournament that continues to be extremely successful today and showcases Andover's facilities and the AAA mission. Over 25 years, these men served their community tirelessly and without expectation of reward. Their contribution to the youth of Andover is immeasurable and should not go unnoticed. Please contact me with any questions or for any additional information required. The Board of Directors would like a decision in time to support a dedication ceremony at the start of the next softball season in May 2010. Sincerely, ~~~ Stephen J.

We would like to give you an opportunity to review and make comments regarding the attached plan which has been reviewed by both the Park and Recreation Commission and the City Council. You are invited to attend an informal meeting scheduled for Thursday, March 18, 2010 @ 6 pm at Andover City Hall. Notifications have been sent to property owners that live within 1000 feet of the park, The City Parks Department will be starting to remove the existing hockey rink (the boards are in need of replacement) within the next few weeks. The new hockey rink will be located closer to Verdin Street as identified on the plan and will be completed prior to the start of next year's hockey season. As far as the rest of the park, the west soccer field will stay in place and 2 additional soccer fields will be built near the center of the park within the next couple years or so pending funding from the North Metro Soccer Association. The Park and Recreation Commission will be discussing this later the same evening as part of their regular agenda. You are welcomed to stay and participate.
