NEW BUSINESS. REQUEST TO REVIEW POLICY OF FEE STRUCTURE FOR POLITICAL PARTIES The City Council requested the Park Board review the policy concerning a fee being charged to political parties. It is the Council's feeling that a fee should be waived. A copy of the City Attorney's opinion was also given to each member. COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARK BOARD MINUTES MARCH 28, 1990 PAGE FOUR Peterson stated that some of the Council felt that it should be limited to the two political parties, DFL and IR, The Board felt that they would be leaving the city open to a. law suit if they limited it to cer~ai~ parties. Salsbury stated he felt they had three choices 1) to continue to not allow political parties in the hall without paying a fee or 2) to allow all political .parties or 3) perhaps to take a stab at limiting their number by inserting some statement such~ as "All political parties who had at least 10% (or some figure) of the vote in the last Columbia Heights general, senatorial or gubernatorial election. The Board stated they did not want to go that way, They wanted to "stick to their guns" and continue their policy. Therefore, motion by Schlagel, second by Peterson to recommend to~.the City Council that we charge all political parties. Ayes: Peterson, Schlagel, Murzyn Nay: Fowler. Motion passed. Hollom asked if non-profit organizations would not include political parties? Salsbury stated that is is an interpretation the Board makes on who you are going to waive the fee for. and who you are not going to waive the fee for and what I hear is that you are going to charge them for the use of the hall. You are giving policy direction to yourself, the staff and whoever that you are not going to allow political parties in without a charge. Fowler asked that if they qualify for non-profit what are we going to tell them - are we picking'on them? The answer is that we don"t think that it is in the best interest of the city to waive'the fee for political parties. Peterson stated that he did.not have a problem with it but restricting it to two parties he did have a problem with, He also stated if you can convince the rest of the Council to allow all political parties he might change his mind, After discussion, Fowler wished to go on record indicating that he would change his vote to aye. REQUEST PATHWAY HART LAKE A letter was received from Ms. Marianne Thies requesting a walkway around Hart Lake. Salsbury stated that the city does not own land all the way around the lake. It would be necessary for the CounCil to condemn the land and purchase the land as an easement -. whith he .doubted the city would do. Discussion followed about the Traffic Commission's one time statement that they were considering recommending the City Council undertake constructing sidewalks on all MSAS streets. S~lsbury stated they were still considering it. The Board suggested we wait on this action since H~Et Blvd. and 37th Ave. are on the MSAS..If a Sidewalk is placed on a State Aid Street further' improvements should be considered at Hart Lake, including more benches and perhaps picnic tables, COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARK BOARD MINUTES MARCH 28, 1990 PAGE FIVE REPORTS The members were reminded about the park viewing on Saturday,.March 31 at 9:00 a.m. Salsbury informed the members about two of the Council's actions.
