April 6, 1993 <br /> Dear Mayor Reinert and City Council Members, <br /> At the Park Board meeting last night, the board made a <br /> recommendation that I draft a letter to you requesting monies be <br /> taken from the Dedicated Park Fund to meet the short term goals and <br /> priorities that were established at a recent work session. These <br /> goals and expenditures are (in priority order) : <br /> A. Up to but not to exceed $18,000 for improvements and <br /> equipment to Sunset Oaks Park on Leonard and Bradley <br /> Avenues <br /> B. Up to but not to exceed $4000 for a master plan design for <br /> Country Lakes Park <br /> C. Up to but not to exceed $18, 000 for a mini park in the So. <br /> Baldwin Lake area (identified as park N-14 in the <br /> Comprehensive Park Plan ) <br /> D. Another short term goal that is a high priority, is the <br /> need to pave the remaining unpaved trails from past <br /> developments and to pave those trails that are to be put in <br /> developments now underway . The funding needed for this <br /> work is $20,000. <br /> The board also requested that I relate to you their priority to <br /> purchase land in the Holly and 12th Avenue area (A-3 in the <br /> Comprehensive Park Plan) for the future development of a larger <br /> athletic complex type park. They made a motion to recommend to you <br /> that the park board take the initiative to negotiate with the <br /> Whitcomb family for the possible purchase of 50+ acres at todays <br /> prices, with the possibility of mutually agreeable long term <br /> financing. <br /> I ask that you please consider these expenditures from the <br /> Dedicated Park Fund at your upcoming work session on Wednesday, <br /> April 7th. <br /> Thank you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Marty Asleson <br /> Parks, Recreation and Forestry Coordinator <br />
