City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> July 6, 1998 <br /> n <br /> Rick explained that there is currently $42, 700 in the Park <br /> Dedication Fund designated for this park. He indicated he is in <br /> the process of selling two lots on Sandhill Drive. He stated <br /> that he estimates to obtain approximately $20, 000 for the <br /> property. He recommended any revenues generated from the sale of <br /> the two lots be earmarked for Rice Lake Estates Park. <br /> Rick explained that on June 8, 1998, he sent out a memo to area <br /> residents . He referred to a summary of the thirty <br /> responses . Will the construction of the trail, there will be <br /> approximately $25, 700 remaining in the Park Dedication Fund. He <br /> indicated he would like to proceed with further development of <br /> this park this year. <br /> Rick stated that the neighborhood has been patiently waiting for <br /> quite a few years, therefore, he would prefer not to delay <br /> further development of this park another year. The estimated <br /> cost for clearing the site will be approximately $5, 000 . <br /> Chair Lindy stated that playground equipment had the most <br /> responses for both high and low priority. He noted the comments <br /> regarding children in that area are no longer toddlers . <br /> Paul suggested they do a high and medium priority. Next year <br /> develop the trail and amenities. <br /> Rick stated that a 1/2 basketball court will be expensive because <br /> it is a lone job. <br /> Chair Lindy stated that when the final grade is done anything can <br /> be put in. Anything done this year will have to be hired out. <br /> Rick stated that it makes sense economically to do the tennis <br /> court and 1/2 basketball court at the same time. Because of the <br /> time factor it is easier to do the playground equipment this year <br /> and finish the rest of the park next year. He stated that the <br /> playground equipment will be for the 5-12 year age group. <br /> Pam asked if a bench could also be put in this year. <br /> Pat stated that the teenage element needs to be served. The 1/2 <br /> basketball court should be put in this year. <br /> Rick stated that a tennis court is a big ticket item. If that <br /> will not be put in soon it makes sense to do the 1/2 basketball <br /> court and playground equipment now. They will need $10, 000 from <br /> Park Dedication funds to accomplish this . The money could then <br /> be replaced from the sale of the lots . <br /> 8 <br />
