Minutes of the proceedings of the
Park and Recreation Commission of the
CITY OF BROOKLYN CENTER in the COUNTY
OF HENNEPIN and the STATE OF MINNESOTA
August 5, 1970
i
The Park and Recreation Commission met in special session
and was called to order by Chairman Don Reichel at
7:30 P.M.
Members present were Don Reichel, Henrietta Anderson,
Earl Larsen, and Ruth Lind. Also present were Gene Hagel
and Arnie Mavis.
The meeting was called for the purpose of discussing the
proposed 1971 Park and Recreation budget. During dis-
cussion of the budget concern was expressed regarding
the extent of leadership and supervision at the play-
grounds. It was the consensus that playgrounds should
not be left unattended for long periods of time, espec-
ially afternoons and at areas where there are wading
pools. It was agreed to ammend the proposed budget to
provide supervision at eight playgrounds in the afternoon
and two in the forenoon.
The board next discussed the alternatives for hiding the
well at Evergreen Park. The two alternatives suggested
are installation of a chain link fence or construction
of a building. It was a strong consensus that a building
would be preferable to chain link fencing. It was
further agreed that the building should be of architectural
design similar to the proposed shelter building. After
further discussion a motion was made by Henrietta
Anderson and seconded by Earl Larson to recommend that
a building be built to house well #7 in Evergreen Park
with the Park and Recreation Commission having the
opportunity to review building plans. The motion was
carried.
The meeting was ajourned at 10:15 P.M.
