Park Board Goal Setting Meeting October 16, 1996 The Goal Setting meeting was called to order by George Lindy at 6 : 10pm on Wednesday, October 16, 1996 . Members present were Amy Donlin, Pam Taschuk, Sharon Lane, George Lindy, and Betty Piper. Others present were Marty Asleson, Park, Recreation, and Forestry Coordinator, Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor, and Sandie Wood, Recording Secretary. Not present were Joe Schmidt and Paul Montain. Before the goal session meeting began Marty passed out petitions from the Birchwood/Park Grove neighborhood residents . He told the board they followed the correct process on this issue . Marty said the petitions were given to the City Council at their last meeting. He said the council thought this should be taken to the Park Board first and if it can not be resolved there should be a joint Park Board/City Council meeting. George said this should be an item on the November Park Board agenda. There was discussion on what can be done, in the future, to avoid something like this happening again. The developers/realtors should be more up front with people . It is not fair to mislead them. Marty asked members to pass their ideas along if they had any. Marty passed out a copy of the goals established in the Park Comprehensive Plan. He went over the handouts and did an overhead presentation. He talked about the mission statement, goals, objectives, and policy statements and community participation and interaction. The city has established a trails committee and environment committee to meet the community participation and interaction section of the comprehensive plan. He said we are trying to workout a fair and equitable relationship with the North Metro Recreation group now. Another goal is to maintain a well-trained, highly motivated staff to carry out the City of Lino Lakes mission of developing a quality park system and providing a variety of recreational opportunities for city residents . Other goals1mentioned are to provide the opportunity for all community' residents to participate in recreational activities through the implementation of well- designed, effective and interesting recreational programs, funding goals, records management and documentation goals and system identification. 1
