City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting January 5, 1998 park. George pointed out that the school district had a master plan including a soccer program, and that the district should be contacted with respect to the status of its plans prior to the City taking steps to make land improvements . Rick indicated that he would investigate this matter. Paul pointed out that a minimum amount of work would be required to make the subject area usable for soccer activities . Barry stated that he had spoken with the soccer field coordinator, and that although it has been determined that Centennial Middle School will accommodate much of the current need, the additional area would be useful for soccer. George asked to what extent development of the subject area would be advisable .
