City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting Monday, December 4, 1995 One 20/20 issues was the natural resources and inventory. The county just completed the natural resources and mapping project and will be meeting at Bunker Hills Activity center on December 5 between 9am and 2pm. Marty said this is another piece of information that we will be able to use in our mapping process. Finalizing 1996 Goal Priorities: Marty said each year the Park and Recreation Board has submitted a goal list to the City Council for approval for the following year. We have had several discussions on goals for 1996. The following revisions may be made to these figures: Birch Park: After measuring the distance to the 100 year flood elevation contours, and visiting the site with Jeff Schoenbauer, it was determined that we would be able to use the lower profile boardwalk on this site. Total distance of needed boardwalk is approximately 200 feet at a cost of approximately $6000. This with the estimated cost of an acre of land at $9000 per acre comes to about $15,000. Sunset Oaks, Jeanne Drive Trail: We have enough Class V reserves at City Hall to effectively rock in this section of trail if we can resolve the wetland/allowable fill/drainage issue. Dave Ahrens will work with us on this. The options are.to adopt the goals for 1996, adopt the goals with modifications, refer back to staff. Marty's recommendation was to adopt goals as the board sees fit, remember the goals of 20/20 as they relate to Parks and Recreation. Also there are some unfinished parts of the projects for 1995. The boardwalk still needs to be built in Brandywood park; he has been discussing this with the neighborhood as a coordinated effort. There is also a small amount of finish grade work in this park. There are a couple of benches to be placed in Wenzel Farms since we just received the materials from the manufacturer. The playground assembly still needs to be coordinated with Pheasant Hills Preserve next spring. We need to implement the desires of the Birchwood Acres/Park Grove neighborhood for playground and or trail. Marty thanked Sandie Wood, Mary Fogarty, Barry Bernstein, Mike Hoffman, Tracy Urich, and Dave Lichtshiedl for all their work and creativity during 1995. He also thanked the Friends of the 6
