SENIOR PROGRAM UPDATE
Barbara Bailey distributed the 1998 annual report for the senior citizens program. She
highlighted some of the trips, events and special interest groups. The Commission commended
her on a job well done.
SALE OF CITY LOT
There was discussion as to whether or not the City should sell the vacant lot adjacent to Floyd
Anderson's home.
Tom Zins felt that if some day a direct access from Schaper Park to this lot could be created, it
would be a nice extension.
A motion was made by Tom Zins and seconded by Jim Sicora to recommend to City Council not
to sell this lot, review the present zoning, and if properly zoned, then designate it as open space.
If the Council desires, they could request the Open Space & Recreation Commission to propose
possible uses of the site. Motion carried, 6 yes, 1 abstention.
SCHAPER PARK AWARD
Rick Jacobson displayed an award given by the Consulting Engineers of Minnesota honoring the
Schaper Park development. Barr Engineering nominated the project.
