City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting Monday, December 4, 1995 meet with the board to discuss athletic complexes and to share some of his expertise on this issue. George said that he spoke with Tom Wilharbor, Mayor of Centerville. Some of the property that is being looked at belongs to Tom's family. Tom said Centerville's plan is to make all of Centerville MUSA. If this happens it will probably make the property cost prohibitive. Sharon asked if Centerville expressed a desire for a complex. George answered yes, they already have a complex with fields and they are negotiating to purchasing an additional 10 acres. George said they have also met with Bill Bisek, from the Centerville Park Board and he feels a larger facility would be in their best interest. Sharon asked where their facility is located. George responded by Lino's LaMott Park. Marty said if we were able to use the 40 acres of county land maybe we would be able to do a joint venture. George said we would have to enter into a long term lease agreement, with the county, because we can not afford to put capitol improvements into the property and then not be able to use it. George stated that he would like this item on the agenda each month for discussion. Leonard and Bradley Trail: Marty said that he and Dave Ahrens, City Engineer, have not been able to get out and look at the area, pertaining to the drainage problem.. However, he feels there is enough Class V available to the project next year. Proiects Update: Country Lakes Park - Marty reported that the stumps have been ground out. It will be next year before the seeding is done. Marty would like to have Kate Drury come out and look at the wetland areas. Marty said the trails will be moved next year too. City Hall Park - Marty reported that the project was almost complete. Staff needs to put up the gate and the wiring still has to be completed.
