Randy Schumacher stated that the dedicated funds are from donations only used on developmental park land - for acquisition of park land or purchase of park land. Vern Reichert suggested a new update be done on the old survey as to what type of facilities the people here in Lino Lakes are looking for. The Park Board should have some kind of plan as to where their monies should go. Our Honorable Mayor, Ben Benson noted that we have planned a city tour January 9, 1988 and presentations will take place and projected growth will be discussed, hopefully helping the Park Board with their plans in the future. After discussion regarding the dedicated fund, where monies come from, where the Park Board is going to purchase land for ballfields - hockey rinks etc. Chairman Ray Johnson said the Board just wanted to communicate their concern regarding general funding. The Honorable Mayor Ben Benson said we' ll depend on the levy, receipts and state aid for the parks . The Mayor said there is definately going to be a change because of the legislature.
