PARK BOARD <br /> April 6 , 1987 <br /> Page Two <br /> Mr. Lind y sympathized with the residents concerns , however he <br /> stated that he felt the decision is not in the Park Board 's <br /> jurisdiction . He also said that the issue here seems to be <br /> primarily traffic and the "need" for a park is secondary. He <br /> suggested therefore , that this issue be approached as a traffic <br /> issue , over which the Park Board has no jurisdiction . <br /> Mr. Bisel said that speaking for himself he feels the Colonial <br /> Woods residents are premature with their concerns and request . <br /> He felt that since the Reshanau Lake Estates development will <br /> be done in phases beginning with the area furthest from Colonial <br /> Woods , the Fox Road easement will remain vacant for probably <br /> three years . This would not allow heavy trucks used for construc- <br /> tion to go through Colonial Woods . <br /> MOTION : Mr . Lindy moved to recommend to Council that the City <br /> Council review this issue , particularly in light of the fact that <br /> the concern appears to primarily be a potential traffic problem , <br /> rather than the need for a park in Colonial Woods . The Park Board <br /> also does not wish to add this Fox Road area to the Park budget , <br /> or be expected to maintain it at this time . Mr. Nissen seconded <br /> the motion which carried unanimously . <br /> BMX TRACK INSURANCE <br /> During the past month , the City did receive an insurance binder <br /> for the BMX track through the BMX organization . The City ' s in- <br /> surance agent asked to review the actual policy to assure that <br /> the track has adequate coverage to protect the City. Mr. David <br /> Rhode represented the BMX organization and forwarded the actual <br /> policy. Chairman Johnson asked that staff send the policy to <br /> the City ' s agent and he also thanked Mr. Rhode for attending <br /> this evening . <br /> CIRCLE-LEX LIONS - PARK IMPROVEMENTS <br /> Mr. Larry Davenport represented the Circle-Lex Lions and explained <br /> that their organization is taking on a project of making contribu- <br /> tions to parks within the communities they serve . From each <br /> community they are requesting information as to their park layouts , <br /> financial needs , goals and objectives . After compiling this infor- <br /> mation, the Lions will set up a long-term plan for contributions <br /> for parks . Chairman Ray Johnson asked Mr. Volk to put together <br /> the information requested by the Lions , and also thanked the Circle- <br /> Lex Lions for their continued support . <br /> n <br />
