OTHER PARK AMID RECREATION UPDATES: Marty said Circle Pines and Rice Lakes joint park agreement is still with the attorneys and is not aware of any options we have. George said we do not want to let this get away from us and was wondering if we should have someone go to the council meeting and explain to them what we need to do. Marty said he would make contact and see what would be the appropriate committee to go before to voice our feelings. Maybe we should just have an informal meeting. Amy asked the density of the neighborhood. The response was that it is higher development than most areas in the city. Marty said it was a planned urban development and was divided by lake and road. Marty gave some history in regards to this. He explained that many years ago the developer put aside money to build a park, plant trees, etc. Then the developer went bankrupt. He stated that the current company .� owner is willing to put trees on the boulevards that are not owner built. Mr. Asleson continued to discuss problems in the area. George said we should meet with someone. Maybe this will make them realize our urgency. TIME SCHEDULE: Marty recapped his time schedule. He stated about 80% of his time is used in the field. It is hard to get back to people that have contacted him on the phone. He said for one week his time was used to get ready for open house. He has also been working on irrigation problems, planting trees, and monitoring the new building. He has been in the field for 2-3 days working on ADA compliance which we are 2 years behind on. He also reported on the backstop and playground repair at Sunset Oaks Park and the Lino Park parking lot and flower beds.
