City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting September 4, 1996 OLD BUSINESS• Anoka County Comprehensive Plan, Local Government Issues Session: Marty included a copy of an "Issues List" that was generated at the Local Governments Issues Session-Anoka County Parks System Plan on August 15 . The purpose of this meeting was for the county to gain input into the issues as seen from representatives from staff members at the local level . The results are broken down by several issue areas . Trails were by far the dominant subject matter. He asked the members to note that there will be a Local Government Trails Planning Session early 1997 . It was undecided who would be asked to come to this meeting. He would like members of our trails committee to be involved. Sandie said she had talked to Amy and Amy wanted to voice her opinion on this issue . She is very excited about this and felt it was a very positive step and that they have similar goals as the Lino Lakes Environment Committee does . There was discussion about a trail on County Road 49 by the bridge. The 49 bridge is in need of improvements . Paul said the bridge is very old but the road had been repaved about 15 years ago. George wanted to know what was going to come from this meeting. Marty said he thought John VonDeLinde will follow through on this and some good was going to come from it . GOAL SETTING MEETING: Marty included a copy of the last two years goals that had been established by the Park Board. He explained he thought this was a good time to review the goals as presented in the Comprehensive Plan, especially since the City Comprehensive Plan is in revision. He asked the members to take the time to go through the Park Comprehensive Plan before the goal setting meeting.
