ARMSTRONG, TORSETH, SKOLD AND RYDEEN, INC. ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS Project Number 90028 MEMORANDUM NO. 4 DATE February 4, 1991 PROJECT New Elementary School for Centennial ISD #12 SUBJECT City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting (Agenda Attached) BY Andy Matzke The elementary school site plan was presented to the Park Board by Andy Matzke and the Board responded with the following comments: 1. The Park Board is very open to working jointly with the School District on this facility, but their support will be limited by the City's budget. 2. The Park Board requested that the School District and Architects work with City staff to set up the construction and maintenance parameters for the District and City at the Birch Street site. For example, because the City has aerating and fertilizing equipment, maintenance of the soccer and softball fields could potentially be taken care of by the City. 3. The elementary school and related site amenities are the type of facility the City needs on the south side of Lino Lakes and is very complimentary to Country Lakes Park. After the presentation of the school site plan, Don Volk, Public Works Director, requested the Park Board to prioritize their plans to assist the City Council in deciding how much money and effort should be spent on the school site development, preparation of a comprehensive plan for City parks, and purchase of the Lakecrest property. During discussion of this subject, Board Members expressed different opinions on what project(s) should have higher priority. Before adjourning, a motion was made to direct City staff to proceed with negotiations on purchasing the Lakecrest property so that price and terms could be discussed at the next Park Board meeting. A follow-up phone call was made to Marty Asleson, Parks Superintendent, on Tuesday morning (February 5, 1991) to review Council meeting and project submittal dates. To get on the February 25, 1991, City Council agenda, project materials should be submitted on February 19, 1991. A meeting with City staff will be set up before this to review School District and City construction/maintenance responsibilities at the Birch Street site.
