CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING SEPTEMBER 7, 1993 LaMotte Park - The volleyball net is ordered for this park. The Friends of the Parks will donate a bench and do some plantings. Park maintenance crews have tried to mow this park all summer, but with the excess rain it was nearly impossible. City staff has not received any comments from neighborhood residents here. Leonard and Bradley Park - The playground equipment has been ordered and the grading plan has been accepted by the adjoining property owner. Trees will be temporarily moved out and then replaced and excess dirt will be removed. Marty Asieson displayed pictures of the playground equipment. The cost will be approximately $15,000, which will fall within the proposed budget for this project. Grading will start next week and Marty is expecting that this project will be completed this Fall. Rice Lake Estates - There has been no word from the City of Circle Pines regarding this joint park. Marty Asieson explained that Jim Keinath, Circle Pines City Administrator is trying to expedite the matter. After a couple of years "we're still waiting". Dog Problems - Pet owners not cleaning up after their animals in public areas is still a problem. City staff has again received complaints from residents regarding animal wastes on city walking trails, especially those whose homes are close to the trails. Linda Elliott noted that this issue has been discussed recently a at council meeting. There is the possibility of designing a more restrictive ordinance. Marty Asieson will ask Jeanne Kenow, the Community Service Officer to come to the next meeting to discuss her observations regarding this issue with the park board. Linda Elliott mentioned that she will work with staff on this matter until there is an effective ordinance in place. NEW BUSINESS: Reshanau Lakes Estates South - Neighborhood Petition - Marty Asieson referred the board to a petition received from several residents of the Reshanau Lake Estates South neighborhood. (A copy of this petition is at the end of these minutes). They are requesting that the city regrade and seed an area of trail near their homes. They are referring to a small open area adjacent to our trail systems off of Fawn Lane. In past years when weather has been dry crews have been able to maintain the area, however, this year as in other wet years, there have been some problems. There are some depressions in the area that pond up and make it impossible to mow. Staff has obtained a quote of $320 to provide water drainage on the site. This does not include fill materials and grass seed that may have to be brought in by city crews. 3
