January 27, 1986
The meeting was opened at 7:40 PM with the following people in attendance:
Chair Kahlow, Claudia Fuglie, Rhoda Jaffe, Chuck Burmeister, Rick Jacobson, and
Sharyl Thompson. Since there was no quorum, no action could be taken, but the
following topics were discussed.
The Commission spent a few minutes listening to the Golden Va I I ey Orches t ra
rehearsal and commended them on the fine job they are doing.
Commission Reappointment
Chair Kahlow informed the Commission that there would be one seat open on the
Commission beginning March, 1986, due to the resignation of Rhoda Jaffe. Her
resignation was met with regret, but she is to be commended for her many years
of dedicated service to the Commission and the City of Golden Valley as a whole.
Plowing of Trails
A request came into the Park and Recreation Department from several residents
regarding plowing of the trail along Plymouth Avenue. Rick Jacobson contacted
as many Commission members by phone as possible, and it was consensus to plow
this trail if the budget allowed. The trail was plowed and unanimous favorable
comments were received from the residents.
Lions Club Patio Dedication
The Lions Club Patio at Brookview Community Center will be dedicated on April
24, 1986. Rick wanted to make sure the Commission was aware of this date and
they will be getting invitations.
Golf Course Policies and Information
Rick Jacobson explained that the proposed golf course policies and information
which had been formulated by the Brookview Improvements Committee, along with he
and Kris Tovson. Since a quorum was not present the policies will be reviewed
again at the February meeting and then forwarded to the Council.
Cross Country Ski Trails
Rick Jacobson informed the Commission that a request had come in from a resident
wanting the City to groom the cross country ski trail on Brookview Golf Course.
The resident was quite insistent on grooming so was invited to the Commission
meeting to discuss it. On the phone, Rick explained to the resident that the
City does not have the equipment necessary for grooming and that Theo Wirth
trails were lighted and groomed and were located in Golden Valley. French
Regional Park is also quite close so it did not seem necessary for the City to
purchase grooming equipment. The resident said he would come to the meeting,
but did not.

Skating Rink Lighting
A petition was shown to the Commission that had been written by skaters from
Lions Park requesting that the lights be left on until 10:00 PM. After discus-
sion concerning impact on neighbors, it was the consensus of the Commission to
leave the lighting as is; being turned off at 9:00 PM.
Rick brought up a concern for the lack of attendance at Commission meetings.
Commissioners present also registered concern and will discuss this at a future
meeting.
The next meeting for the Open Space and Recreation Commission is scheduled for
February 24, 1986 at Brookview Community Center.
