CHAIRMAN's REPORT - MEETING WITH CIRCLE PINES PARK BOARD Mr. Johnson reported that he had met with the Circle Pines Park Board to discuss the decisions made by this Board in relation to the Rice Lake Estates Plat . Mr. Johnson noted there is a portion of land owned by the Anoka County Park Department which the City of Circle Pines is reqeusting be deeded to that City. The plans are to put a trail system through that area. Circle Pines was concerned with the extra burden this plat would put on the Baldwin Park. There was also discussion of the establishing of a ball field in that area. Mr. Arntzen asked if Circle Pines usage of Sunrise Park was discussed? Mr. Johnson said it was discussed with the fact that Circle Pines is working out a system of walking trails and bike trails and they are directed toward Sunrise Park. There was misunderstanding on the part of the Circle Pines Board in that understood that if Baldwin Park was not available for usage by the citizens of Lino Lakes, then Sunrise Park ^ would not be available for usage by citizens of Circle Piens. Mr. Johnson said he tried to clear this misunderstandin - noting that the Cities are in the process of discussing shared services in other area and that parks must alsobe shared. Mr. Arntzen asked if the Board was receptive to the idea of working with this City? and Mr. Johnson felt this was true. Their suggestions were that this City provide some fill for the area and complete a bike path through the area. Mr. R. Johnson said he has visited Baldwin Park five different times at five different times of the week and he has not seen over three children at the park at any one time. There was discussion of how much usage will develop from the two new plats being developed in Circle Piens near this Park with the fact that Rice Lake Estates will probably not have occupants until the latter part of 1984 and should not be considered until the 1985 budget time. The plat of Rice Lake Estates was consulted for possible areas where a path could be placed. Mr. Arntzen suggested that the City Engineer work with Circle Pines ' Engineer for a recommendation as to where the path should be placed. .
