PARK BOARD MINUTES December 5, 1988 <br /> Ken Johnson expressed his personal opinion by stating that <br /> the trail system is a good idea, although he sees this as a <br /> partially finished trail system, with no connection or loop <br /> running through the development . <br /> Bill Nissen questioned the cost of a concrete sidewalk <br /> included in the proposal . Also, legal fees and survey costs <br /> are not usually part of the park dedication. <br /> Randy Schumacher stated that in the past actual construction <br /> costs have been included as part of the park dedication. If <br /> a tennis court costs $20, 000, thats what the city would use <br /> in lieu of the park dedication. <br /> Candy Toffolis concern was the high cost of maintaining the <br /> trail systems . <br /> Bill Nissen stated he likes the trail system idea, and feels <br /> it will enhance the development . <br /> Candy stated we should accept this proposal as our park <br /> dedication, but set a policy eliminating trail systems as <br /> part of park dedication in the future. <br /> Bob Williams and John Bauman both felt the Park Board should <br /> obtain easements for future trail systems, ask the developer <br /> to put a rough grade on the easements , and accept the money <br /> for the future development of these trails . <br /> This item was tabled until January 1989. Don Volk will have <br /> reviewed the figures , and state his feelings on this issue. <br /> The public hearing will be scheduled as planned for December <br /> 12th subject to Park Board approval . <br /> Park Board also directed Rick Carlson to meet with Don to <br /> discuss this issue further. <br /> GREATER CENTENNIAL PARK AND RECREATION PROGRAM UPDATE/Ken <br /> Johnson <br /> Ken did attend the last committee meeting. <br /> In the past Blaine budgeted an amount given to the community <br /> education program annually. Now, they are contributing that <br /> money to the Greater Centennial Park and Recreation Program. <br /> Page 2 <br />
