MURZYN HALL MANAGEMENT PLAN Salsbury informed the Board that the City Council has decided to allow the IR and DFL.into the hall at no fee. The Council did not stipulate the rental fee so it is "fee free" so that means the security fee is also waived. Salsbury stated that in other groups where the fee is waived we do require them to pay for the security guard. Peterson stated that he felt that should be the policy for all groups "that we should not be expending funds .for anybody". After discussion, it was decided that the Board should require the IR and DFL to pay for any security, if needed. Therefore Salsbury stated that we would revise the amendment and return to the next meeting with the corrected amendment for approval. RECYCLABLE PRODUCTS AT JPM Georgia Reay attended the meeting to inform the members regarding recyclable products at the hall. Reay stated that it was a "good 'idea in theory to recommend to the people to use only products made from recyclable materials or are recyclable", but the fact of the matter is at this time for food service materials there is very little out there that is made from recyclable materials. She also stated that the grease in the food residues left on paper products does not come off in the recycling process. There isn't a plastic product made that does not have a petroleum base of some sort in them. She also stated in order to bury degradable materials in a landfill it doesn't degrade because by law you must cap a landfill every night with dirt - so there is not air ~&tting down - and you must have air or it doesn't degrade. _ The vat in the back of Murzyn Hall goes to the RDF faCility in Elk River and then burned and that produces a fuel flux. The fuel flux is sold to the Elk River Power Company and is used as a fuel immunity to the power system to product electricity. Metals are pulled out before it is burned. Glass 9oes thru the burn process, and will burn at high enough temperatures. COLUMBIA HEIGHTS PARK BOARD MINUTES APRIL 26, 1990 PAGE FIVE Reay suggested that we might want to put some kind of paragraph in the agreement statin9 that the City of Columbia Heights is concerned about environmental issues and strongly supports the use of recyclable materials or materials made from recyclable products. Reay also stated she would arrange with Metro Waste Management to get us bins for glass and cans and also to arrange for an "on call" pick up of the items. REPORTS Wargo Court was discussed. Salsbury stated that the maintenance at the park was terrible - rocks in the pool - exposed electrical controls. He stated that a lot of money was spent and it could have been spent better. Salsbury stated that Council person Nawrocki has been trying to raise 'additional money. After the work is completed the park is going to be turned over to the City of Columbia Heights to be an "official city park~'. The setting of rates at Murzyn Hall was discussed. Peterson stated that there seems to be concern on the part of at least one council member about the Park Board setting rates and as to whether the Board has the authority to do so. Salsbury stated that the trenching that was done to lay telephone cable will be resodded. Information was requested about Recreation. Peterson said the Joint Powers was going to be dissolved. The logical divison would be to have the Community Education part 9o to the school district and the Recreation part to the city. What we can benefit by having jointly we will. The opening of Silver Lake Boat Landing was discussed. Salsbury will remind the Police about unlocking the 9ate. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Schlagel, second by Peterson to adjourn. All ayes, motion carried. Nancy French, Park Secretary
