Dsotion, Ayes (5) - Nays (0) . <br /> Dick IIenson, City Administrator, presented the PARK PROJECTS <br /> following information frorl Lee Tomlinson, Park <br /> Cot:u_lission Chainnan rec�ardinq �ar� projects : <br /> The grading projects you had scheduled for this <br /> fall at Bederwood Park and along Willow Drive <br /> North, and the installation of playground <br /> equipment at Antoine Park were all disrupted <br /> by our early frosts and snowfall. <br /> The Park Commission is anxious to see these <br /> projects progress as soon as possible next <br /> spring, and they asked me to seek your assurance <br /> that they would. <br /> I know that outside contractors will be installing <br /> the equipment at Antoine Park. I assume a reminder <br /> to Roger Peterson would make sure that is accomplished. <br /> The Bederwood Park grading is foremost in the minds <br /> of the Commission so that we may proceed with <br /> further planning for that property. <br /> Mayor Van Nest informed the City Council that he HEPdNEPIN COUNTY PARK <br /> and Dick Benson, City Administrator, attended the RESERVE DISTRICT <br /> Park Reserve District meeting last week. The Big Island <br /> Park Reserve Board directed P2r. Cliff French to • <br /> negotiate the Gridley-�:ilbane property on Big <br /> Island immediately and to arrange for an informational <br /> meeting for the public sometime in February to <br /> outline to the public the plans for Big Island in <br /> the future. <br />
