Park Board <br /> Goal Setting Meeting <br /> October 16, 1996 <br /> Amy wanted to know what the chances were to make a deal, in the <br /> future, between the city and developers for more funding for park <br /> development . Marty said this is governed by State Statutes and <br /> you cannot charge impact fees . <br /> When the board started talking about the 1997 goals Barry asked <br /> them to consider putting in an irrigation system for the <br /> ballfield and the soccer field off of Glenview, in Sunrise Park. <br /> He said this will cost about $5, 000 . 00 . Marty said the soccer <br /> field is turning into a hazardous situation. <br /> George asked how Clearwater Creek was doing. Marty said there <br /> was no money, just land and trails given for this area. <br /> Marty suggested, since trails is top priority, the board take <br /> $15, 000 and include the Behms Century Farm trail and the internal <br /> trail in Birchwood Acres Park in this year trail project . <br /> Marty said one thing to look at is a revenue producing facility <br /> to help generate money for the park system. <br /> Another thing to look at, in Pheasant Hills Preserve, is to spend <br /> money to start planning this park and do a joint use project with <br /> the school district . <br /> George asked the members how much of the park dedicated funds <br /> they wanted to spend. Betty asked how the city looks at keeping <br /> a cushion, is a cushion an advantage or disadvantage. She said <br /> to lower the cushion to $25, 000 . Sharon said to do what we need <br /> to, but, keep trails a priority. Pam asked if we ever hear from <br /> the residents in the Quail Ridge area. Marty said he has <br /> received calls from some residents . <br /> There was discussion on the Wenzel Farms bridge and park. The <br /> residents have done a lot of fund raising for their amenities . <br /> Marty said another trail we may be asked to look at is the Elm <br /> Street trail . Maybe we could cost share with the school . In the <br /> future this trail may go into the Anoka County Regional Park. <br /> George asked the members if they had thought about priorities . <br /> Amy said no. Betty said no, but, thought the Fox Trace trail <br /> should wait for the Ware Road reconstruction. Sharon would like <br /> to see something done in the northern area of the city. George <br /> said maybe something should be done with the Behms Trail access <br /> 4 <br />
