Seems odd. Summer is upon us, and we hear discussion of new off-road mountain bike trails, new skate parks, tennis courts, improvements at golf courses and parks, wading pools, beaches and life guards, power boat races, milfoil harvesters, the fancy sports complex near Ft. Snelling, concession stand contracts, a possible hydro power project, possible marinas and excursion boats, wireless hot spots at city parks, a separate Park Police system, a $50 million tax-supported MPRB operating budget and nearly $20 million in additional non-tax-supported operating funds, over a quarter billion in book value assets, and the kids in Jordan have to play basketball in the street? Don't call the police, call the Park Board and City Council and Mayor.
Michael Hohmann Linden Hills ps There have been many posts discussing the MPRB in recent months, and there are many new list members participating and likely lurking here on mpls.forum. If you're interested in MPRB finance and operations, check these posts from last year regarding the MPRB planning process, as well as their capital and operating budgets in some detail: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg22735.html REMINDERS: 1.
