Special Meeting - City of Eagan Park Tour
e
In order to complete the update of the Recreation Section of the Comprehensive Plan, the
Commission has been meeting on the second Tuesday of each month since January 1994.
However, you have heard that "all work and no play makes for a dull boy/girl" and "one shall
not operate in a vacuum." In light of these philosophies, the field trip to the City of Eagan,
which we discussed earlier in the year, has been confumed. Mr. Ken Vraa, Director of the Eagan
Park and Recreation Department, has put together a complete program for us. Mr. Vraa will be
glad to answer your questions about park acquisition, development, funding, operations, etc.
Why Eagan? Chanhassen is following in the footsteps of suburbs like Eagan who have
experienced rapid growth and development. The knowledge which Ken and the City of Eagan
has gained throughout these years of growth can be applied in Chanhassen.
I look forward to seeing you next Tuesday; taking tours such as this one is how we should be
spending more of our time. We will pick-up the paperwork portion of the update at your regular
meeting on April 26, 1994.
