City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> February 3 , 1997 <br /> There was discussion on the athletic complex. It was felt that <br /> it would take at least 1/2 million dollars to procure the land. <br /> It may be necessary to go to an area that may never have sewer <br /> and water, therefore, the land may not be perceived as high in <br /> value. <br /> TRAIL COMMITTEE AND GRANTS UPDATE: <br /> Marty gave the committee members copies of the Trails Committee <br /> minutes from January 28, 1997 . <br /> Marty said the committee is looking at a 3-5 year implementation <br /> plan for some of the main trail corridors that are becoming more <br /> necessary for people to get around. George said the committee is <br /> trying to list their priorities . They are a North/South link, <br /> (49 Lake Drive) , a East/West link finishing Birch Street, a <br /> East/West link that would hook up with Aqua Lane and Elm Street, <br /> and the new Town Center. <br /> Sharon said it should be kept in mind that staff will be needed <br /> to maintain all the items that are being put in. George said <br /> things can not just be funded, put in, and then be done with <br /> them, maintenance is an issue. It will have to be looked at, <br /> long term, so they are maintained. Marty said the first seal <br /> coating of trails is scheduled to take place this year. <br /> Marty said he is still working on two grants . The City got an <br /> addendum to the bids for the Elm Street Project . The price for <br /> bituminous and gravel came in at . 67 or . 76 cents per square <br /> foot . <br /> Marty did an overhead presentation and showed where the Elm <br /> Street Trail will go. He showed an access area into the park <br /> that is not covered by the trail bid. He showed the trails that <br /> were to be done in 1996, but ran out of time to do them. Sharon <br /> asked if we just had the land for these trails . Marty said they <br /> have been graveled and we need to pave them. He thinks we should <br /> start paving in June, it depends on the weather. <br /> He has not changed the grant for the Athletic Complex grant . He <br /> has talked to Audry Malerie and the $50, 000 is still available. <br /> He said the planks for the Wenzel Bridge have been ordered. <br /> 3 <br />
