American Legion’s potential interest level of a cash donation in
exchange for the renaming of Eastview Athletic Complex to American
Legion Park.
Recognizing Eastview as a premier athletic complex and the implications
of renaming the facility,
MOTION: by Russ DeFauw, seconded by Royal Bakke to submit no
additional recommendation for the Eastview Athletic
Complex name change. Committee will defer the decision
to City Council.

ITEM #5.B.
Old Business - Park Bond construction update.
Staff reports that construction of the family swim center and teen
center are ahead of schedule. The Spancrete employee strike in
April/May has resulted in about a one month delay in the Apple Valley
Community Center expansion project.
Installation of the play equipment is taking longer than originally
projected, due to the lack of seasonal maintenance employees. The
updated projection is to have the equipment installed by the end of
summer, but the timber edging around all sites may take until November.
ITEM #6.A.
Other - Valleywood non-resident season passholders update.
Randy Johnson distributed to the Committee copies of a letter written by staff
and sent to all Valleywood season pass holders. Staff reports getting a few
phone calls and letters from the public in regards to the change in season
passes for 1999. Information on the season pass holder numbers and the men’s
club was also distributed to the Committee along with copies of an e-mail
message received at City Hall from James Tanner (resident of Eagan) and a
draft of the City’s reply.
