Dear Todd,
With the snowy season comes snowmobiles. We have
enclosed a City of Chaska snowmobile map.
It was brought to our attention that a snowmobile club from the
Chanhassen area has a designated trail in Chanhassen on Co. Rd. # 17
leading south into Chaska. The problem is that the City of Chaska
does not have a designated trail where the two city boundaries meet.
If you could discuss this with the Chanhassen Snowmobile
club and discuss an alternative north-south route in Chanhassen it
would be appreciated.
Please contact my office at 448-3176 x6 with any questions
you may have. Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Tom Redman

Dear Mike:
Thank you for stopping by my office to pay the 1996 rent on the Bandimere Farm. I wish I
would have been here to discuss the future of the property in person. As you know, the city's
Park Task Force will be forwarding a park referendum to the voters. It appears likely that the
vote will occur on May 3, 1997.
The referendum package does include the development of Bandimere Community Park. If the
referendum passes, construction at the park would commence in the summer of 1997. If the vote
fails or does not occur at all, I would look forward to discussing a 1997 rental agreement.
Mike, thanks again for watching over the farm these past 5 or 6 years. I have appreciated your
keeping the best interests of the land a top priority.
