OLD BUSINESS
BALLFIELD
Salsbury reported to the 'Board Members the latest information
regarding the ballfields. Tri City has decided to take their money
to the City of St Anthony and.build'a ballfield. The Boosters
donated $3,000 to help pay for the pollution clean up. There are
plenty of hockey rinks in Columbia Heights, although there is a
problem with the #5 ballfield. Hollom suggested that we write a
letter to the City Council requesting that they authorize the
additional dollars in order to remove the dirt.

TOURNAMENT POLICY
The Board Members reviewed the guidelines of the Tournament P61icy.
They did not feel that the Policy should be changed at this time,
therefore, the request for the ballfields from the Goodwill
Industries, Inc. Easter Seal Society of Minnesota has been denied on
the basis of no action to change the policy.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Salsbury informed the members that the best figure that we can give
them, until a more defined proposal is prepared, is $75,000 for a
comprehensive plan for the parks. Salsbury suggested that. there
should be a comprehensive plan and that the Board. should request
that $75,000 be put in the 1990 budget for this purpose.
REPORTS
Schlagel: Why can't we have a crew work at night to do the work on
the hockey rinks?
Salsbury: We do, they start at 2 a.m.
Fowler: What is our policy on block wails downstairs, can we put up
anything in the youth room?
Salsbury: Yes, we can as long as it 9oes with the decor.
Kennedy: Sullivan Park needs some pathway repair - is it in the
budget? It appears that we may be too late in certain areas for maintenance.
Salsbury: Yes, we need an overlay in paths - which is in next years
budget. The overlay in Prestemon and LaBel]e were in the budget for
this year. You are right, we are a year to two years late. The
item was cut from the 1989 budget, and we may have more expense
because of this action. Some of the pathway appears to need
reconstruct ion.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Sch]agel, second by Fowler to adjourn. All ayes, motion
carried.
