MINUTES <br />PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION <br />MAY 3, 2012 <br />higher priority rating. Sanders did not feel that the fact that parks are <br />existing would result in parks enhancements receiving a higher priority <br />rating. Sanders noted the City's community surveys have always resulted <br />in high ratings for both parks and the City's trail systems. <br />It was the consensus of the Commission that once all the information is <br />available, the trail system priorities, playground equipment <br />replacement /enhancements, and the park enhancement projects will be <br />prioritized as one document. Once that work has been completed, the <br />Commission will ask for ajoint workshop with the City Council to <br />review. <br />TROUTBROOK The Director reported that he was at a meeting with MNDOT and learned <br />TRAIL that there is a focus group looking at the pedestrian /bike system over 694 <br />from County Road E to Old Highway 8. This system would include the <br />extension of the Troutbrook Trail through Little Canada. The Director <br />indicated that since the City turned over the Troutbrook Trail project to <br />the County, the County has been working to get this trail improvement on <br />the Metropolitan Council's needs list. <br />Sanders reported that the County is also working on a trail connection <br />from Keller Lake under Highway 36 and along Spoon Lake to tie into <br />Arcade Street. This would be a nice trail connection for Little Canada. <br />ARBOR DAY The Director reminded the Commission that an Arbor Day Celebration <br />will be held Friday, May 4, 1:00 p.m. at Spooner Park. <br />YOUTH The Director reported that flyers announcing youth registration for <br />ACTIVITIES archery lessons, firearm safety class, and skateboard camp were <br />distributed to the schools today. <br />Fahey noted that the City's skateboard park receives a lot of use. <br />MARKET The Director announced that the May 9th Market Place Morning Talk <br />PLACE will be on Container Gardening. <br />MORNING <br />TALKS <br />ADJOURN <br />There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m. <br />Respectfully subm'j <br />Kathy Gla 'er <br />City Cler <br />5 <br />
