This should be a good summer. Steve explained that City Council approved the continuation of the program supervisor's position. Sandy Osterberg will fill the position if she meets all CETA requirements. The Comprehensive Park and Open Space Plan will be ready very soon. Steve informed the committee that Council approved the use of St. John's parsonage as a senior citizen center and a rental agreement will be drafted. Council also submitted an official offer to purchase the 2.5 acres next to Antlers Park as part of the Federal Grant. An offer of ,$16,000.00 was submitted. The next item on the agenda was a discussion with a Mr. McCormick who represented a potential model airplane club requesting to fly planes in Aronson Park. These are remote control planes. Steve outlined the necessary requirements in order to be considered. Those items included dates, times, location, standard rules for flying, insurance coverage, etc. Mr. McCormick agreed to bring in all the information requested. This will be discussed at the next meeting. Mr. Mrs. Kimmer from Valley Park were present to discuss the need for a bike trail from Valley Park to County Road 42. As we have heard many times before, there is a very dangerous situation with children riding bicycles along Cedar Avenue. The Kimmer's wanted to know what action could be taken to pursue the development of a trail. Steve explained that the County had designated this as a trail but development would not come until the mid 1980's. He suggested building a support group gaining backing from both Lakeville and Apple Valley and presenting this to the county commissioners.
