City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> .-� May 6, 1996 <br /> was held. Marty said we generally allow a 30' buffer between the <br /> park and homes . <br /> Some residents stated that they would be opposed to having <br /> organized activities in this park. George said the Park Board <br /> can address this at a later date and make a decision at that <br /> time. <br /> There were questions asked about how the money, that has been <br /> raised, can be used. Marty said if it is going to go through the <br /> Friends of the Park, and has been designated for playground <br /> equipment, it can only be used for that. <br /> George said there seems to be a lack of communication and a <br /> misunderstanding between the residents and the Park Board and he <br /> feels they can be easily resolved. The board does not mandate or <br /> plan the parks the way it wants them but works with the <br /> residents . <br /> He then reviewed the layout of the park as he thought the <br /> residents wanted it, talked about the trail placement, then <br /> discussed dedicated park funds and how they are used. <br /> George stated he would like to have a policy that the board could <br /> follow on approved master-plans . <br /> He said he would like to have a consensus on the placement of the <br /> playground equipment so the Park Board could agree on the <br /> purchase of the play structure so that it can be installed on the <br /> agreed upon date. Chair Lindy said this would also give George <br /> from Brauer the background to continue to formalize the plan for <br /> the north and west area of the park, leaving the smaller lower <br /> segment to be planned in the future as land is acquired. <br /> MOTION- <br /> Amy Donlin made a motion to accept the bid for the play <br /> structure, as proposed, from Iron Mountain Forge, for $15, 000 <br /> with July 13 as the date for assembling the equipment . Pam <br /> Taschuk seconded the motion and it was approved unanimously. <br /> The other issue to address is, if the plan can be developed for <br /> now and into the future if the land is acquired with the thoughts <br /> voiced this evening, the position of the basketball court, picnic <br /> shelters and distributing park pressures throughout the whole <br /> area. <br /> 4 <br />
