PARK BOARD MINUTES �-t NOVEMBER 14, 1991 Comprehensive Park Planning Committee Update - The committee soon will be looking for public input on their plans. Currently Marty Asleson is trying to pull a meeting of all the boards and staff people together prior to a public meeting. He was hoping to schedule a meeting with the boards before Christmas. Bill Nissen says he would prefer a meeting after the first of the year. Marty Asleson suggested a breakfast meeting on a Saturday morning like the one held last winter. Both Ken Johnson and John Baumann thought a Saturday morning meeting would be a more productive, relaxed atmosphere. Marty will continue to try to put this meeting together. Shade Tree Committee and Forestry Update - The City of Lino Lakes is the first city to use the vibratory plow . Marty Asleson reports that there were a few problems. The plow broke, but this is a brand new machine and the bugs haven't been worked out of it yet. Even with the problems, the crews were able to put in 2 1/2 miles of plow line and reach 28 infection centers in eight days on the south side of the city. Work was also done on Lantern Lane, Baldwin Lake, Rohavic Oaks, Lois Lane and the St. Joseph's Church area. Mr. Asleson commented that he hopes to have the city in control within three years. He also reported that the State Finance Committee with '~ the DNR were touring in the area and met with him, they spent about 45 minutes reviewing our forestry plan. Ken Johnson asked how the tree preservation plan is working out with developers and builders. Marty Asleson noted that there have been just a few problems, as with any new rule or change, but for the most part it has been well received. Marty Asleson also reported that the unexpected record snowfall recently put a stop to seeding and any forestry programs being worked on at the time. He also commented that the city crews worked very well together and did a very good job in light of the conditions.
