The New Scandia Town Board held their regular monthly meeting on
the above date. The following Board Members were present:
Chairman, Charles Nordin, Vice Chairman, Duane Thompson, Edith

SITE LOCATION FOR SKATING FACILITY
A discussion was held regarding the new proposed site for the
Skating Facility to be located next to the Community Center and
the area where the ballfield is located.
Mr Nordin informed the board he meet with the Park and Recreation
Committee and the committee did not oppose the new site
selection. Mr Nordin stated this is not in a residential area
and Forest Lake School District has agreed to install a T Field
at the Scandia Elementary School.
Ms Edith Hadlich felt this location would distract from the
present facility. Some members of the board felt with the right
type of landscaping and well maintained building and grounds
would distract from the Community Center.
Mr Bruce Swenson questioned why the Lions Park on Oakhill Road
had not been considered. Mr Swenson was informed this site has a
lot of wetlands and hundreds of trees that would have to be
removed.
Paul Rasmussen made a motion to adopt the site on Olinda Trail
and 209th Street with the drawing by TKDA Engineering Firm, with

concept of two rinks, warming house and well. Duane Thompson
seconded the motion. Kevin Nickelson stated this project is very
important and putting the Skating Facility in this location may
be a problem. The motion passed unanimously.
