I�4r. Baard�art a�t�wered- that 'they shcz�l;d take a laak at what facilities are availablE
�iChin the who�,e _�scog+� af thef,r ne�,glabo�li�oci . May��: the only problem in the
nei�hbnrhaad fs an a�cess grobiem. And, maybe that cauld be the ccu�nitte�'s '
recc�endatiori.
Mr. �Iarris stated th�t if the co�n��tee m�mbers"have any open:areas, they should ,
put down wtt�t they think the`layout o� that a�e� should be. The informatian could �
b� c�f g��aC benefit. - . �
�
�he question ��.s ask�d if the coumuittees shoul.d e�aluate any schoc�ls in the area }
even if the schvtil is in a differe�t� sch�a�. district. The a�tswer was, yes, as long `
as ��E &Cill'�O� �3 W�Ch�.II the canfine.s of Fridley, �
E?tie camaiCtee member stateci that �he wisheet. these projest committe�s could tiave
been formulatect sooner. She is very concerned:as a tennis caurt is going up in
her neighbas��zod taking th;e plaee a€ the`1itt2e children's sk�ting rink, leavisg '
nd activities for th� s�all+�r children. She wanted to know wtio ordered:this done,

/��ervice areas a�. Co t�e nuu�nber af hc�urs t��.t were being played 3n different
-� neighbo��ocjds. They came up wit�i certain areas that had shortages of tennis
courts, Ev�ry 2(�0 hours of tennis play within �n a�ea wauld require a court. Tt
was t�p to the City Ccauncil aud they budgeted for twq tennis eaur*_�,;ons for the
north and one ��r th� south.
M�. Feterson sCated that the CiCy Cot�cil,is often handicapped by lack of informa-,
tion: fram tl�e different neighborhoads and .this same. probl:em can possibly be
prevented in a�o�her area: by input from the project committees.
Mr. Harris st�tted tq the cQ�nmittee me�nl�ers the importance of getting members for
t�ie;e�nittees from a1.1 are�s Qf the neighborhood and no� just people �rom one :
street so that a broaci segment c�f ��a� nei.ghborhood is represented . He said : tl�ey
don't rteed to �eel C�y must canvas the n�ighborhoods and knock on daors as iC
is nat one of their req�ire�nts, although they may do so if they wi.sh.
�h� questic�n was asked if tl�ere would be any probl�m with neighbarhood work grougs--
the City prQViding the equipment an� ;the �eighbarhood prav�.din;g:the labor,
Mr. �iarris stated thatt this should aot be included �in the regarts to be passed on
