REQUEST SHELLEY MILLER - FAMILY HEALTH STUDY Mark Winson received a letter from Shelley Miller, Community Health Assistant University of Minnesota, requesting permission to display posters in Columbia Heights parks to recruit families for their study.

OLD BUSINESS SKATEBOARDING AREA Officer Vaughn and a group of skateboard youths attended the meeting to express their ideas on a suitable place to build a skateboard track in Huset Park. The Police set up a meeting between the Police Department and area skateboarders. Vaughn stated that about 40 p~opl~ attended the informational meeting and that 29 people were from Columbia Heights. One person objected to the track being placed in the Quincy Street parking lot, he felt the noise and traffic would be very disruptive. It was felt that a better place would be the tennis courts in the middle of Huset Park. One person stated he would donate a skateboard ramp. COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 24, 1992 PAGE THREE After much discussion, the members felt the main objection to a skateboard area was the liability to the city and the cost of constructing a track. The alternatives to the liability cost mentioned was having a waiver card signed, disallowing the city from blame, or having the skateboarders join an association thereby reducing the cost. It was requested that the Recreation Director contact the City Manager regarding a memo the Director had written inquiring if the City Council would support the Commission if they went ahead with plans for the rink. The Commission decided to table the request and wait for additional information. HUSET PARK SKATING RINK Grady requested information on the progress of the skating rink at Huset Park. Jolly reported no additional work or plans have been done up to this point. Plans are still on schedule for the bridge and lighting. The east center mound will be scaled to 1/2 the size and a 3 block retaining wall will be built. Ruettimann stated that volunteers could once again be used for this project. Details to be worked out between Winson and Ruettimann at a further date. LABELLE PARK Winson reported that at a recent tour of the city a question regarding erosion at LaBelle Park (Circle Terrace property) was brought up. He stated that it is an area of concern and is on his agenda. NEW BUSINESS None REPORTS Parks - Jolly reported he had received a phone call from property owner at 1303-1309 Circle Terrace. The property owner is complaining because children are cutting through his yard to th8 parks and he feels the city should put in a chain link fence. Winson reported that the Park & Recreation Commission is now the Tree Board. Jolly will furnish an Ordinance to the members and will have a meeting before fall to review the Ordinance. The back wall of the Band Shell is being painted before the Jamboree. COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES JUNE 24, 1992 PAGE FOUR Recreation - Councilman Clerkin approached Casey regarding boxing at Murzyn Hall. The members recommended Central Middle School, Columbia Heights High School, NEI or Valley View Elementary School as places more favorable for a boxing rink. Jane Charbonneau notified Casey that the P.A.L.S. organization would like to be a part of the Recreation Department as it was a few years ago. P.A.L.S. previously met at St. Matthews Church but due to staff changes at St. Matthews, P.A.L.S. wishes to come under the Recreation "umbrella" for help in the administration.
