City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> February 3, 1997 <br /> Barry said in the past we were able to get about 40-60 kids to <br /> participate in a schools out event. When he joined forces with <br /> North Metro, for a ski trip, there were well over 100 kids that <br /> participated. He feels this indicates that by combining the two <br /> agencies more kids will be serviced. <br /> Marty said there are concerns about support staff, as well as <br /> other issues . He said the Park Board will have to review the <br /> data and make a recommendation to the City Council . He hopes <br /> this will work out . <br /> PARK BOARD GOALS UPDATE: <br /> Marty read the memo that he wrote on this issue . He attached a <br /> copy of the goals that George Lindy presented to the City Council <br /> at the work session on January 22 . Marty pointed out that there <br /> was very little money left after accounting for past and future <br /> commitments . <br /> The council would like to bring this issue to the next council <br /> work session. Marty said Brian Wessel, Economic Development <br /> Director, will be there to add to the discussion of funding <br /> issues in relation to the global picture in the city. <br /> George said the board was up on what the goals are for 1997 and <br /> the only item that needed to be discussed would be number 6, <br /> referendum process to fund trails, neighborhood park development <br /> and the A-3 outdoor recreation complex. <br /> He thought the City Council was favorable- to a referendum <br /> process . They feel it is the only way things are going to get <br /> going. He thought it would be a stand alone referendum and would <br /> have nothing to do with the Town Center process or other <br /> fundraising project. This will be on the work session agenda for <br /> February 19, 1997 . Marty hopes all Park Board members will be <br /> able to attend this meeting. <br /> There was discussion on the referendum process and what needs to <br /> take place. It was suggested to use a portion of the $35, 000 to <br /> educate residents and do a referendum. Marty would also bring in <br /> professionals to help with the process . <br /> Paul asked George if he had any idea of a dollar amount needed <br /> for the three item package. George asked if the other members <br /> had any idea of what the three items would cost. <br /> 2 <br />
