MINUTES CITY COUNCIL MARCH 27, 1991 Scalze reported that the Park Commission is planning to bid all trail work planned for 1991 as a package in an attempt to get a better price for the City. Scalze reported that the Park Commission has requested that at its next meeting the Council call for bids for trail improvement on the Water Works property from Country Drive just north of Little Canada Road to South Owasso Blvd. The Park Commission had a neighborhood meeting on this improvement and there were a couple of property owners at the meeting that were opposed to the improvement and wished to comment to the Council. Scalze reported that the Water Works Department has given a preliminary O.K. for the trail, however, plans must be submitted to and approved by them. Scalze suggested that the Park Consultant be authorized to draw up the plans so that they can be submitted to the Water Works Department. Mrs. Scalze introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION N0. 91-3-123 - AUTHORIZING THE PARK CONSULTANT TO DRAW PLANS FOR TRAIL IMPROVEMENT ON THE WATER WORKS PROPERTY FROM COUNTRY DRIVE TO SOUTH OWASSO BLVD. FOR SUBMISSION TO THE ST. PAUL WATER DEPARTMENT, AND REQUESTING THAT AUTHORIZATION OF BIDS FOR THIS IMPROVEMENT BE PLACED ON THE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING AGENDA The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Blesener. Ayes (4) Scalze, Blesener, Hanson, Collova. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. Scalze reported that the trail system under the power lines crosses property that is owned by the City as well as property owned by NSP. NSP has encouraged the use of their property for this purpose. NSP is offering to donate the property to the City. Scalze asked if there was any interest on the part of Council Members in accepting this property. NSP currently pays $4,230 in taxes on their property under the powerlines. Page 23
