City of Lino Lakes <br /> Park Board Meeting <br /> May 3, 1999 <br /> The Park Board discussed many different park locations for the <br /> proposed skateboard park. It was determined that there is not an <br /> existing area that is conducive to a skateboard park. <br /> Pam suggested Lino Elementary be approached because they are in a <br /> different school district . Rick indicated he can pursue that <br /> option. <br /> Rick stated that surrounding cities are pursuing a skateboard <br /> park on their own. If the parks are successful, the National <br /> Sports Center may look at a large scale cooperative effort . <br /> Rick noted that Blaine and Shoreview are each in the process of <br /> developing a skateboard park. <br /> It was the consensus of the Park Board to put the skateboard park <br /> on hold because there is no property that lends itself to it . <br /> More funding may be available for the project at a later date to <br /> do something of a larger magnitude. Updates regarding the Blaine <br /> and Shoreview skateboard parks will be provided. <br /> s-� Paul asked about the two lots that might be combined in Rice <br /> Creek Estates . Rick advised that soil testing is currently being <br /> done. More information will be available at the next meeting. <br /> NEW BUSINESS• <br /> Paul asked again that park dollars coming from residential, <br /> commercial, and industrial development be reviewed. The current <br /> policy needs to be reviewed. He suggested the Park Board go to <br /> the City Council and request dollars come from the General Fund <br /> for park maintenance . <br /> Pat added that as park inventory increases, park maintenance will <br /> be even more of an issue . <br /> Jeff suggested charging 1% of the lot price from new development <br /> to fund the development of parks . Maintenance has to come from <br /> the General Fund. He also suggested using the developers <br /> equipment on ground prep as a way to save money. <br /> Chair Lindy stated that the City Council understands the need for <br /> park dollars . He added that the legality of collecting 1% on new <br /> lots has to go through the City and not the developer. <br /> Pat suggested the Park Board develop a plan for additional park <br /> dollars . <br /> 7 <br />
