CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br /> APPROVED <br /> 44 Councilmember Ruhland asked if there is a check list for the Lino Park project; Mr. <br /> 45 DeGardner suggested that the list is currently a rough draft but will be finalized in coming <br /> 46 weeks . Staff is estimating project cost total at $250 , 000 . Councilmember Ruhland asked <br /> 47 how much the park building is proposed to cost and Mr. DeGardner said it ' s still under <br /> 48 discussion as to what type of shelter will be added . Councilmember Ruhland remarked <br /> 49 that the current shelter seems to be a good structure and he wonders if it could be saved . <br /> 50 <br /> 51 Councilmember Cavegn asked if there are plans to extend the off road trail in the area of <br /> 52 Lino Park and Mr . DeGardner explained that would probably have to happen in <br /> 53 conjunction with an Anoka County road project on Lake Drive because trail development <br /> 54 is expensive . Councilmember Cavegn explained the danger that is posed for people <br /> 55 trying to get to the park using the shoulder of the road. <br /> 56 <br /> 57 Councilmember Lyden asked for an update on dog park discussions . Mr. Huelman said <br /> 58 the Park Board has been informed that there ' s interest in that type of facility. Mr. <br /> 59 DeGardner suggested that the discussion would probably be appropriate as part of a <br /> 60 strategic planning session . <br /> 61 <br /> 62 Mayor Rafferty said he ' s pleased about the attention to the Clearwater Creek area <br /> 63 considering its location. He also noted that he ' s watching the types of parks being <br /> 64 developed in other cities currently. They are larger and multi -use and he ' s interested in <br /> 65 that discussion. <br /> 66 <br /> 67 Public Services Director DeGardner explained how staff is drilling down on the details ; <br /> 68 tonight he ' s hoping to get a preliminary approval to proceed with planning. <br /> 69 <br /> 70 Councilmember Cavegn noted that staff plans to utilize the services of Landscape <br /> 71 Structures — aren ' t they an expensive option? Mr. DeGardner said staff has worked with <br /> 72 them in the past and he feels the quality is there for the price ; also they are included in the <br /> 73 State level contract. <br /> 74 <br /> 75 Councilmember Stoesz noted that there is currently a sign at Lino Park for Lions <br /> 76 International ; perhaps that is a funding source . <br /> 77 <br /> 78 Councilmember Ruhland asked, what are the major reasons that Clearwater Creek Park <br /> 79 was selected? Mr. Huelmann noted high use, wear and tear on the equipment and <br /> 80 geographic location . Councilmember Ruhland asked what park would be the next <br /> 81 priority? Mr. DeGardner noted parks that were built earlier and plans for work on some <br /> 82 of those . <br /> 83 <br /> 84 Councilmember Lyden said he supports the plans for the park facilities but he ' s <br /> 85 concerned about 1 ) having water (fountains) in the parks and 2) hard court plans for <br /> 86 "Tower Park" . <br /> 87 <br /> 88 The council concurred in supporting the recommendations and planning at this time . <br /> 2 <br />
