City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> May 5, 1997 <br /> ANOKA ELECTRIC EASEMENT: <br /> Barry explained that Anoka Electric would like to install an <br /> underground power source through the park in West Oaks (see map, <br /> filed in minutes book, that was included in the members packets . ) <br /> If this was allowed it would attach a dead end of their present <br /> underground network. <br /> George told the board that the city does not plan to do anything <br /> with this park because there is so much wetland in this area. He <br /> said it would be more cost effective for Anoka Electric to cross <br /> this small parcel of wetland with an underground power line, than <br /> going down Bald Eagle Boulevard. <br /> Paul asked if there would be compensation for this easement . <br /> George said he and Randy talked about this and maybe the city <br /> could get Anoka Electric to do an in-kind project (ie. light a <br /> ballfield) instead of money. Paul said the city should make sure <br /> it is well understood what the compensation is . <br /> The Park Board went on record to say they are in favor of working <br /> with Anoka Electric as long as AEC agrees to restore the wetland. <br /> We should also maximize our return on this project. <br /> RECREATION UPDATE: <br /> Safety Camp: Barry showed a video of the 1996 Safety Camp. <br /> Betty asked when Safety Camp was in 1997 . Barry said August 7, <br /> 1997 from 7 :30am - 6 : OOpm. <br /> Field Reservations: Barry explained that Paul had called him <br /> about the reservation process .

He said the department schedules 5 fields for adult <br /> softball and all the soccer fields . <br /> Barry told the Park Board what the reservation policy is and <br /> explained why only three reservations are allowed on the books at <br /> one time . <br /> George asked about practices being canceled if a game is <br /> scheduled for the field. Barry said we rely on the association <br /> to let us know what the game schedules are. However, if there <br /> happens to be a rain-out, a game may be rescheduled and they <br /> would <br /> 3 <br />
