Please attend the next Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board Meeting.
When: Wednesday, August 18
Where: MPRB Administrative Offices, Board Room Suite 255, 2117 West River Road
Time: 5:00PM
If you want to speak during the 6:00pm public comment period, you need to call Diane Hill at 230-6404 before 4pm on Wednesday so that she can add your name to the meeting agenda.
Finding and getting to the MPRB building is easy. It's just north of the Broadway and West River Road intersection, and just north of the iconic Broadway Pizza, along the river north of downtown. The building has plenty of free parking for automobile drivers, and 2 bus lines pass 2 blocks from the building, the #20 and #32.
Some interesting items on the agenda include:
1. Report on the Kroc Center (Salvation Army / Joan Kroc bequest) by Council Member Don Samuels. At the last meeting, CM Ostrow and commissioner Dziedzic lobbied for putting such a multi-million dollar center in northeast adjacent to the existing northeast athletic field complex and Lupient water park.
2. Report on plans for a large athletic complex at Bryn Mawr Meadows by assistant superintendent Judd Rietkerk.
3. Report on Xcel's "Aesthetic Flow Plan Survery" by Judd Rietkerk. Is this a report that is supposed to show that Crown Hydro won't hurt the appearance of St. Anthony Falls?
4. Adopting a resolution requesting the *maximum* certified tax levy for operating funds for the year 2005.
5. An update on the superintendent search.
6. A number of other interesting things, and always the possibility of surprise new business.
Chris Johnson, Fulton
