AGENDA ITER N0. 10 <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson <br />DATE: October 26, 1995 <br />TOPIC: Trails Committee <br />BACKGROUND <br />Much discussion concerning the planning, maintenance, <br />development, safety; and funding of trails has transpired over <br />the last few years. and with added resolve from the 20/20 Vision <br />Focus it was decided at the last Park Board meeting to <br />investigate the formation of a Trails Committee. I was directed <br />to make a recommendation on this. <br />Please find enclosed copies of the City of Shorview's Resolution <br />forming a Trails Committee, and The City of Vadnais Heights <br />Ordinance, establishing a Trails Commission. Both groups are <br />charged with making recommendations concerning trails. <br />Please notice a couple of differences. Shorview has 11 members <br />on their committee, and meets once a month, and Vadnais Heights <br />meets on a quarterly minimum schedule with 5 members. <br />Shorview indicated that meeting once a month was too much,, they <br />simply ran out of agenda items after a while. Vadnais Heights <br />had 5 members with city staff members acting as liaisons and <br />representing the Planning, Park and Public Safety aspects of <br />trails. Shorview, indicated that it became very difficult to <br />create liaisons to each other committee from existing committee <br />members because after a while liaisons simply didn't show up for <br />lengthy periods of time. They are now reevaluating this process. <br />OPTIONS <br />1. Establish a committee of 5 members with staff liaisons to <br />meet on a quarterly basis, unless otherwise needed basis. <br />2. Some other combination. <br />3. Refer back to staff for further consideration. <br />
