COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 1994 <br /> n <br /> Mr. Backlund explained that he is looking for a reasonable <br /> solution to the problem and noted that the entrances are not <br /> needed at this time and there is another access further to the <br /> south. Mayor Reinert explained that the City Council does not <br /> have an answer to the problem at this time, but will ask the Park <br /> Board to reconsider the matter and bring another recommendation <br /> for the City Council to consider. <br /> Council Member Bergeson noted that access points are needed and <br /> suggested that the church be contacted. Mr. Ferris explained <br /> that he has talked to persons at the church but there has been no <br /> response to date. <br /> Mr. Backlund asked the City Council if anyone denied that this is <br /> poor planning and asked if those who do the planning should be <br /> reviewed. Council Member Kuether noted that the developer and <br /> staff agreed where the trails should be placed. Mayor Reinert <br /> explained that park and trail planning is not done haphazardly. <br /> The plan was prepared by professional people with citizen input. <br /> Council Member Elliott explained that this is frustrating and <br /> explained that the matter will be addressed by the Parks <br /> Director. He will be in contact with the residents. <br /> There was discussion regarding the house setback from the <br /> easement. Mayor Reinert asked that this be addressed by the <br /> Building Inspector. <br /> Mr. Backlund asked if there is any assurance that the trail <br /> entrance will not be blacktopped prior to the meeting with the <br /> Parks Director and the Park Board. Mr. Schneider explained the <br /> process and noted that it would be at least June before <br /> blacktopping is started. He explained that there is time to work <br /> on the problem. <br /> Mayor Reinert asked that this matter be directed to the Parks <br /> Director and placed on the Park Board agenda. <br /> REVIEW OF THE SUMMER RECREATION PROGRAM, BARRY BERNSTEIN <br /> Mr. Bernstein gave the City Council a copy of the Spring/Summer, <br /> 1994 Recreation Program booklet and briefly highlighted the new <br /> programs and outlined the registration procedure. He noted that <br /> the staff is very proud of the accomplishments of the Recreation <br /> Department. Mr. Bernstein noted the traveling playground program <br /> and explained that a vehicle had been donated to the Recreation <br /> Department. The vehicle is being outfitted to go to both the <br /> Shenandoah Park and the Sunset Oaks Park so that these two (2) <br /> parks can offer more programming for children. <br /> PAGE 3 <br />
