City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> March 2, 1998 <br /> This type of combined effort has kept the trail system <br /> in Lino Lakes safe in the past and has all the <br /> indications of being able to do so in the future. <br /> Should you or any residents have any questions <br /> regarding this or related ideas please feel free to <br /> contact me at 780-0605 . <br /> Sgt Kent Strege <br /> Lino Lakes Police Department <br /> Chair Lindy suggested that this implication is a result of <br /> communication from Coon Rapids some time ago through <br /> correspondence relating that their trail system did not <br /> contribute to criminal activity nor was it a safety concern or <br /> issue. He added that hopefully Sgt Strege' s correspondence will <br /> allay concerns of Lino Lakes residents . <br /> Sunrise Park Playground Installation - Chair Lindy asked about <br /> the plan for obtaining citizen support for this activity. Mr. <br /> DeGardner explained that advertisement is planned and, if there <br /> is not sufficient response, the Earth Day Committee may be asked <br /> to assist. <br /> Ms . Lane expressed concern that a significant number of citizens <br /> might be involved in Earth Day activities . Ms . Taschuk agreed, <br /> adding that many groups choose that day for community service . <br /> Mr. DeGardner pointed out that a back-up date of May 2 has been <br /> designated; however, only a few volunteers are needed, and the <br /> project will be ongoing throughout the day. Mr. Schmidt stated <br /> that Earth Day activities throughout the community have always <br /> been well supported, and that there should be no problem in <br /> securing the needed assistance . <br /> Centennial Middle School - Mr. DeGardner presented a memorandum <br /> from Mike Hoffman regarding concerns with respect to certain <br /> soccer fields located on the Centennial Middle School site . <br /> Specifically, these fields are quite uneven, and include <br /> surfacing debris, areas of washout, seeded areas that are <br /> extremely thin, and hazardous access to irrigation system <br /> controls . Mr. DeGardner' s recommendation is that this area be <br /> closed to activity for the 1998 season to allow for necessary <br /> repairs . Communication will be ongoing with the contractor in an <br /> effort to correct these issues . <br /> Mr. Montain asked if all of the available area on the Middle <br /> School site is currently allocated to specific programs, to which <br /> Mr. DeGardner responded in the affirmative. Mr. DeGardner added <br /> that the area in question is not the existing soccer field <br /> location but an area toward the center of the athletic fields . <br /> 7 <br />
