City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> January 6, 1997 <br /> did not want to speak for them. Marty said he will try to get <br /> George on the January 22 , 1997 work session agenda. <br /> Marty then talked about the Trust for Public Lands . He said they <br /> are a non-profit organization. They acquire land and then make a <br /> lease arrangement with the organization that wants the property. <br /> Marty said he has submitted a preliminary Outdoor Recreation <br /> Grant for $50, 000 . <br /> Pam asked Marty if he knows of any other municipality that has <br /> used The Trust for Public Land. Marty thought Chanhassen had. <br /> Amy asked how fast they move on a project . Marty thought they <br /> work very fast . Amy also asked when the 20% down payment would <br /> have to be paid. Marty thought maybe the $50, 000 grant could be <br /> used for the down payment . George said the Park Board needs to <br /> discuss this with the City Council and then actively pursue it . <br /> Paul offered a cautionary note to look very carefully at The <br /> Trust for Public Land. Maybe there is something or someone else <br /> that can be used. Marty suggested he invite them to a future <br /> Park Board meeting. Sharon said they are a non-profit <br /> organization and must meet requirements but did not know how <br /> strict the requirements were. <br /> NORTH METRO UPDATE: <br /> Marty included an article, in the members packets, that was <br /> published in the Quad Community Press . He also passed out <br /> demographic information and explained how he arrived with this <br /> information. (A copy is in the minutes file) . The next meeting <br /> will be January 16, 5 : OOpm, at Circle Pines City Hall . <br /> Joe asked if there was an added fee for non-residents to <br /> participate in a Lino Lakes program. Barry said no. Joe then <br /> asked why the other cities would pay $15/person to do a joint <br /> service with Lino Lakes . Marty said because the communities <br /> don' t feel they are getting what they want with North Metro <br /> Recreation. <br /> Paul asked if they were going to keep meeting indefinitely or set <br /> a deadline. Marty said the North Metro Consolidation Committee <br /> would like to have a decision made by April, 1997 . <br /> George asked, if when setting down with the other <br /> representatives, is there a consensus that they would like to <br /> increase their fiscal efforts as time goes by. Marty said yes . <br /> 2 <br />
