PARK BOARD MINUTES October 2, 1989 There was no time to change the directions. The trees should be appraised. Don estimated the value to be near $12 , 000 . and that money will be reimbursed to the city. Park View Estates - Sewer at Sunrise Park - Excavation will start in a week. Sewer and water will be run to Sunrise Park and then construction will start in Parkview Estates . The City is unsure of the costs for that project at this time. Don Volk made the decision to remove the septic system in Sunrise Park because a pleasure rink is planned to be built right over it . Satellites will be on the site. The present septic system was in need of repairs . Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Advisory Committee Andy Neal stated that the next Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Advisory Committee will meet October 19th at Mar-Dee' s Restaurant in Circle Pines . Marty Asleson was also asked to attend. Circle Pines is the host city. Don Volk stated that Marty Asleson' s expertise is in Forestry issues . Forestry issues will be making great strides. Oak Wilt can be controlled. Marty stated that in April , May and June we have to alert the developers to stay away from oak trees . Infection is a result from a wound in the tree. Marty said that there are so many things the city can do to help save trees . The Tree Board is willing to work with City Foresters. Also we need to make the residents aware of what they can do to help the tree problem when they first move in to a home. Marty felt that many of the oak trees lost in Woodridge Estates may be the result of the drought last year and not due to oak wilt . Don Volk stated that the city needs a forestry fund. It costs money to initiate these new programs . He feels we should tack an additional charge onto the building permit to be put into an escrow account for a forestry fund. Meeting adjourned 9: 38 p.m. Page 6
