n PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1992 recreation programs such as golf, open parks, open gym, and open baseball . The main idea is to empower the kids to determine their recreational needs. Marty feels the idea of getting teens involved in a program is a good one, he's not giving up on it. He asked that the board contact either him or Barry Bernstein if they have any ideas or comments. Barry Bernstein displayed a copy of the upcoming Spring and Summer Program brochure that will be sent to all Lino Lakes residents. He explained some of the upcoming programs. He will be trying some teen stuff as Marty mentioned earlier. There are a total of 14 men's softball teams in two leagues, and will be at least five teams, possibly more, in the Sunday night co-rec league. Barry also explained that he will be adding a new twist to parks rentals this year. When someone rents a park and pays their $20 . 00 deposit, they will get a "Sport Grab Bag" to use. The bag will have an assortment of game playing equipment such as horseshoes, volleyball, softballs, etc. Brian Bourassa commented on what a good job the parks and recreation department did last year with the softball leagues. Developers and Builders - Ray Johnson took this time to comment on the large amounts of litter he sees left behind in certain areas during and after a home is under construction. He wondered if there isn't an ordinance or some other lever the City could use to see that these sites aren't left in such a mess. Don Volk commented that this is a point well taken, he will pass Ray' s comments along to the building department. Land Donation - Marty Asleson explained to the board that a resident offered to donate a parcel of land to the City. The property (approximately 20 acres) is at the end of 81st Street off of East Rondeau Road. Marty has looked at this parcel, he thinks it's a great piece of property, it's all upland not swamp. He doesn't know the name of the property owner or why he wants to donate it. Although it is out of the scope of the comprehensive plan, Jeff Shoenbauer thinks it would be prudent for the park board to accept the property and hold it in trust for future use, or trade it, etc. MOTION: Brian Bourassa made a motion to recommend to the council to accept the parcel of property donated at no cost, for future use or land bank. Motion was seconded by Candi Toffoli. All were in favor. Motion carried. Parkview Estates - At the request of Ray Johnson, Marty Asleson looked into the easement/walking trail issue in this development. Ray questioned whether this plat was recorded with a walking trail 5
