SPECIAL PARK/RECREATION CO~ISSION MEETING - FEBRUARY 16, 1977
MINUTES
A Special Meeting of the Park/Recreation Commission was called to order by Acting
Chairman Lapham, February 16, 1977 at 8:00 p.m. at the Andover City Hall, 1685
Crosstown Blvd. N.W.
Commission Members Present: Lapham, Mand and Rzeszutek
Commission Member Absent: Arntzen
COMPREHENSIVE PARK DEVELOPMENT PLAN
The Commission members discussed the differences between the three bids.
o
MOTION by Rzeszutek, seconded by ~d, to not consider Wehrman Chapman's bid due
to their high cost which does not include meetingrand extra work ordered would be
charged on a time and material basis at their hourly rates. Also their brief
was not very thorough and did not tell much as to what they were going to give us
for $10,000-$11,000. Motion carried unanimously.
Wes ~d said he talked to Glen Rogers about Midwest and he, Glen, did not have any
Objections to them. In reading Midwest's proposal, the consenus of opinion is they
are referring to individual existing sites only and not a comprehensive park
development plan. It was decided that Jerry Lapham would get some poin~ clarified
from Midwest and another special meeting would be held on Thursday, February 24,
1977 on this subject.
NORTHERN PARK SITE - SUMMER RECREATION PROGRAM
Jerry Lapham stated that Lary Carlson has agreed to let us use his park. All he
wants to have is a schedule and he will schedule around it. The summer recreation
program as it stands now will cost $4130.00, but with an added site, it will cost
$5500.00.
MOTION by Rzeszutek, seconded by ~d, to try a satellite summer recreation program
in the northern end of the city in Lary Carlson's park; the total expenditure not
to exceed the $5500.00 which was budgeted for the summer recreation program. Motion
carried unanimously.
In the discussion that followed, it was brought up that the $5500.00 covers a five
day a week program in Lary Carlson's park and at City Hall and that the motion should
be changed to read northern park site and City Hall. (However, an amended motion
!~ was not made.)

c==> JOINT MEETING WITH RAMSEY CITY PARK & RECREATION CO~ITTEE
It was decided not to have a joint meeting with Ramsey at this time since we do
not have any abutting park land on the Rum River and no comprehensive park plan
as yet.
Lary Carlson gave 22 acres to a homeowner's association and Jerry Lapham said he
would check into the possibility of maybe purchasing some park land from this
association.
MOTION by Mand, seconded by Rzeszutek to adjourn. Meeting adjourned 9:00 p.m.
