Draft November 4 , 2019 significant but one of the exercises that goes along with this is the credits . So what they will be putting in for trails and working with WSB as to what they believe the costs of those trails to be . If you watch the City Council Staff Reports you will see the dollar amounts and such as soon as things are signed . Resident #4 inquired if there would still be a meeting coming up to discuss the park equipment . DeGardner responded that yes there would still be a meeting about that and advised the resident to have their mom or dad check the City website every two weeks to see when that meeting will be . It will be on the City Council Agenda and it will read "Lyngblomsten final plot" and if approved, have your parents call me right away the next morning and we will set the meeting . Hiielman Rtated that Yes the ea would he to re-enpraffe the residents on a ]]lap and then there would be a conceptual plan. Typically we (the City/Park Board) bring in a company that can put up some alternative proposals for the playground and we (Park Board and residents) can take a look at them similar to the process of the Master Plan. This process will get stared as soon as we (the Park Board) know there is money . DeGardner asked the residents at the meeting what they thought of the boardwalk. Thoughts of costs ? Residents #2 commented that although the 3ft Board Walk ( Option B) is less cost, what would they do with it? Many have little kids and strollers . She stated that the area the boardwalk would be over is all mud so they wouldn ' t want their kids walking in the mud because there isn ' t a wide enough space to walk next to them/stroller. She also stated that she liked the idea of the 8ft boardwalk as the park doesn' t offer much as is and an 8ft boardwalk they could actually use would really add to the park . She mentioned that she also liked that the plan including clearing the underbrush and such as in the last meeting they (residents) spent a lot of time talking about the mosquitos so anything the City can do to help with that is appreciated . DeGardner reiterated from the last meeting that the City can do their part by trying to clear some of the underbrush and those types of thing but Metropolitan Mosquito Control District is very reactive and he encourages residents to call them to come out to that area a treat it . Huelman asked if there was any other comments and other residents . Residents at the meeting agreed that a 3ft boardwalk wouldn ' t really work or mean much, but the 8ft boardwalk would be nice . Huelman stated that the cost is very high but boardwalks are very attractive and adds to the amenities of the park and that residents of Lino Lakes love trails . He stated that they (the Park Board) continue to get feedback on how much residents like trails and want more of them . He stated that many people are using the trails but it ' s just hard to find money to continue to fund those trail needs . He stated that their hands are tied due to the fact that it is a wet land and with only some options , the boardwalk would probably be the cheapest . Resident stated that she liked it (the boardwalk) because it would connect the park to the trails which they like . Resident asked if the play area is staying as is . She asked because on the Master Plan it looks like everything is relatively in the same space and size . Jordan Gedrose, with WSB , stated that for the Master Plan it is laid out that way just to depict that is where the playground will be but it could change once the planning for the actual playground equipment starts . DeGardner started that there are some slopes and such in park area they would take into account when creating the path Page 7
