MINUTES <br />PARKS & REC COMMISSION <br />MARCH 4, 2021 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />7 <br />Commissioner Horwath stated that he has received interest from his spouse as she noticed that <br />Vadnais Heights had this option available to residents. <br /> <br />Commissioner Chu stated that tonight the group talked about bike racks and snowshoes which <br />are geared towards the community. She stated that this would be another way to potentially <br />bring in sponsorships and show community support. She stated that perhaps there be a process <br />developed for sponsorships. <br /> <br />Chair Miller asked if there would be recommended trails and whether they would have to be <br />groomed or whether residents would go wherever. <br /> <br />Commissioner Hipp commented that she is an active snowshoer and noted that there is a path <br />around Pioneer Park that is useful. She stated that she also visited Spooner and the area near the <br />nature play area is wonderful. She believed there is a lot of potential. <br /> <br />Chair Miller noted that perhaps a small map of parks could be provided, and residents could <br />explore. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager noted that the City does not have the ability to groom trails, <br />but perhaps that is an option for the future to create more defined trails. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ray noted that this would be a great effort. <br /> <br />Commissioner Horwath stated that one conflict would be that many people would want to use <br />the equipment on the weekends when City Hall is not open, and perhaps there could be a <br />campaign to remind residents to get the equipment in advance of a weekend. <br /> <br />The Community Services Manager confirmed that Vadnais Heights did make an effort to <br />encourage residents to rent on Friday for weekend use. <br /> <br /> Horwath introduced the following motion: <br /> <br />RECOMMENDING THE APPROVAL OF A PURCHASE OF SNOWSHOES FOR <br />WINTER RECREATION OFFERING AT A COST NOT TO EXCEED $1,600. <br /> <br /> The foregoing motion was duly seconded by Abruzzese. <br /> Ayes (6). Nays (0). Motion passed. <br /> <br />REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONERS <br />Commissioner Chu commented that she loves the Gervais Mill Park, especially in the winter <br />months. She noted that so much of the park is not paved and therefore snowshoes would fit well <br />in that park. She asked for details on the yellow item near the bridge. <br />
