r • <br /> MINUTES OF THE PARK COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH 2, 1992 <br /> LETTER OF APPRECIATION - CONT. <br /> Bradley explained that he felt the article would not have been <br /> finished immediately , so he focused on the letter instead . <br /> I I se stated that the art i c I e to the newspaper was st i I I a good i dea <br /> as it is important for the Community to see some sort of <br /> appreciation to Les Kelley from the City . <br /> Bradley suggested the Council adopt a resolution of appreciation <br /> at their next meeting . <br /> Chair Flint pointed out that it was suggested that a garden be <br /> planted at the new facility site in memory of Les Kelley . <br /> Gerhardson noted there will not be much area designated for such <br /> purposes . <br /> Vongries suggested planting something at the Navarre Park . <br /> (#7) JOINT MEETING REPORT <br /> Johnston informed the Commission that a presentation was given by <br /> Tim Urkula, Westwood Professional Services, regarding his <br /> involvement with Independent ' s park improvement project . He stated <br /> that Urku I a rea I i zed that th i s area i s d i fferent i n that sports are <br /> handled through small associations rather than cities or schools . <br /> Urkula realized that demographics were not available for review and <br /> offered to contract with the surrounding cities to provide them <br /> with the demographics of the area. Johnston felt that it was a <br /> good i dea to research the demograph i cs of the area, but fe I t i t <br /> could be done through a volunteer effort of all cities . <br /> Vongries reported that bike trails were also discussed , and it was <br /> determined that each individual Commission is establishing bike <br /> trails within their cities which are not connecting outside the <br /> city limits as the projects are not being coordinated with <br /> surrounding cities. <br /> Johnston noted meetings will be held four times a year with each <br /> city sending at least one representative to the meetings . <br /> Bradley stated that it has been a fight to get the school to assume <br /> responsibility for this project . <br /> Vongries stated that the development of the hockey/ball field site <br /> was dependent upon the passage of a bond referendum. <br /> 10 <br />
