^ CITY OF LINO LAKES <br /> PARK BOARD MEETING <br /> MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1995 <br /> Sharon asked how much was budgeted for this park. Marty <br /> responded $18, 000.00. Sharon then asked if this was enough to <br /> grade and gravel the trails and put the boardwalk in. Marty said <br /> this would have to be prioritized because there were other parks <br /> in the city that have been waiting for two years to be paved. <br /> Joe asked how much of the $9, 00 boardwalk cost was materials. <br /> Marty said about 50 percent. <br /> Pam asked if the 12" sand base was under the structure and if it <br /> was sand or pea rock. Marty said it would be pea rock. He said <br /> he had a source, this year, where we could get the pea rock free. <br /> We would just have to pay city staff for hauling. A resident <br /> said he was sure the residents would haul this for no fee. <br /> Joe asked how much it would cost to gravel the trail rather than <br /> asphalt it. Marty did not know what the cost would be. He said <br /> he could get figures and start working on a budget if they were <br /> going to have a meeting in the future. He told the residents <br /> that specifications would have to be written so they would be <br /> able to get bids. <br /> George told the Brandywood Park residents what Wenzel Farms <br /> residents have done to raise money for their park. <br /> The residents said they want to get the trail, boardwalk, grading <br /> and seeding done first and raise the money to do the playground <br /> area next. <br /> Joe expressed concern about not having lights in this enclosed <br /> park. The residents said they are not concerned because it is a <br /> neighborhood park and they will have their children at home when <br /> it is getting dark. They did not think this was a top priority. <br /> Pam asked what the average age of the children in the <br /> neighborhood. The response was 60-70 percent were 3 to 8 years <br /> old. <br /> MOTION: Amy Donlin made a motion to accept this park master plan <br /> concept. Sharon Lane seconded the motion. Motion was approved. <br /> FURTHER DISCUSSION: George said we need to maintain what we have <br /> with City staff and if necessary we should contract the work out <br /> for the new parks. Marty thanked George for this consideration. <br /> George then asked if Brauer was also providing a grade plan with <br /> the master plans. Marty said no. There was other discussion on <br /> grading and whether contractors could give bids from the master <br /> plans. <br /> 3 <br />
