City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> July 6, 1998 <br /> n <br /> more inclined to allow it now because the space is not being <br /> used. <br /> Joe said the State of Minnesota leases land quite often. He <br /> recommended a dollar amount be attached to the lease. He noted <br /> concern regarding other residents, quality of track, and if a <br /> track is visually pleasing. <br /> Paul stated a certificate of insurance would need to be provided. <br /> Mr. Scheele came forward, with 3 children from the neighborhood, <br /> and said he is the property owner of the land in front of the <br /> track. He explained what a BMX track is . <br /> Pat noted that insurance for a big group may be too expensive. <br /> Jeff added that if someone is hurt that is not involved with the <br /> group, he or she may come after the City. <br /> Chair Lindy stated that the City Attorney and the Insurance <br /> Company will have to work out all the details . If the resident <br /> is agreeable to providing insurance, it can be done. Those <br /> issues must be deferred to legal council . <br /> Mr. Scheele stated that the American Bike Association can provide <br /> insurance. It may be cheaper to get insurance through the City. <br /> He stated that if the City is involved all residents of the City <br /> could participate in the track.
