City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> �.� July 7, 1997 <br /> Land Pride Mower: Paul was looking through other council minutes <br /> and asked why the Land Pride mower was purchased and not another <br /> brand. Barry said it was researched and staff preferred this <br /> equipment . The department got quotes and Carlson was awarded the <br /> bid. <br /> Tree Removal: Joe said the storm damaged trees, 1 in Shenandoah <br /> and one in Country Lakes Park, he mentioned at the last meeting <br /> were not taken care of and he wanted to know why. Joe also <br /> mentioned a tree limb was hanging on the fence by the southwest <br /> field at Rice Lake School . Barry said he would check into this . <br /> Birchwood Acres Park: George passed around the final master plan <br /> he received from Brauer. He had been contacted by a resident who <br /> wanted to know where the soccer goals, they purchased, were <br /> going to be placed. Mr. Lindy asked Candance Olson, from Brauer, <br /> to look at the plan and let him know where it would be possible <br /> to place soccer goals . Candace sent him a letter stating <br /> permanent soccer goals would be inappropriate for the <br /> soccer/ballfield area. She suggested only removable goals be <br /> used. There was discussion on the liability of not placing the <br /> goals permanently. George said the residents could bring their <br /> nets to the park. Pam asked who would be responsible if they <br /> brought their own equipment to the park and got hurt . George <br /> said Barry could not answer that question. Chair Lindy said he <br /> called the resident but has not received a response back from <br /> them. <br /> Trails: George has concerns about the existing gravel and graded <br /> trails . He said they are deteriorating from erosion, etc. and <br /> will be more expensive when we do get ready to pave them. He <br /> said the Park Board should make a formal request asking the City <br /> Council if they have any available funding for paving roughed in <br /> trails . Last falls trails are going to be paved this year. <br /> Kim asked if the Trails Committee should work with the Park Board <br /> on the request to the City Council . George said the Trails <br /> Committee has not been meeting. <br /> Paul wanted to know what the total linear footage of roughed in <br /> trails was . George said Marty had a pretty good handle on this <br /> at one time, but he does not know. <br /> As far as available money George said the Aqua Lane grant is <br /> available, we are negotiating with the school district on the Elm <br /> 6 <br />
