City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> ,-� October 7, 1996 <br /> committee. There are several issues that the North Metro <br /> Commission had raised that staff will work with the North Metro <br /> Coordinator to answer and define. Preliminary budget figures <br /> need to be compared, and levels of service defined before this <br /> can go any further. <br /> Marty attached a copy of a letter from Janet Bona to the North <br /> Metro Recreation Commission concerning their upcoming meeting. <br /> BIRCHWOOD SURVEY: <br /> George thanked Sandie for the great job she did putting the <br /> survey results together. He said it was very easy to read. <br /> Sharon said she was disappointed in the number of returned <br /> surveys . She thought more people would respond since it has been <br /> so controversial . <br /> Marty said the office had received several calls from residents <br /> stating that they did not where this park was or that there was <br /> one going in there. <br /> There was discussion on the terminology of "informal" and "city <br /> park" . George said if you look at the comprehensive park plan <br /> you can see what the definitions are. <br /> A resident voiced her concerns about the survey. She thought it <br /> was confusing and hard to understand. <br /> Joe was encouraged to see that trail is the number 1 item on the <br /> survey. This is consistent with the 20/20 Vision findings and <br /> the last survey that was done. He then asked why the survey did <br /> not include playground equipment or ballfield in it . George said <br /> these were eliminated because they are currently being put into <br /> the park. Marty said the items listed were either in the <br /> comprehensive plan or on the master plan. <br /> George said the survey was done to get the residents priorities <br /> as to what they wanted in the park. This meant that when the <br /> money was available it would be funneled to the top priority <br /> items . <br /> Laurie Mazanec said she feels there are still alot of unanswered <br /> questions, after the survey has been done. She was also <br /> concerned about the money that has been raised for the park <br /> elements . George asked where the money was, did she have it in a <br /> 6 <br />
