^ CITY OF LINO LAKES <br /> PARK BOARD MEETING <br /> MONDAY, JUNE 5, 1995 <br /> Pam asked how much was allocated for this park. Marty responded <br /> $15, 000. George said $15, 000 was not going to get much for this <br /> park and he wanted to know what their priorities were. Marty <br /> said they are looking for playground equipment and access to the <br /> park. Pam asked how committed this group was. Marty said they <br /> are very committed and they are organized. George mentioned that <br /> this park might have to be looked at again when the Park Board <br /> meets for the goal setting session. More money might have to be <br /> alloted for development of this park. <br /> NK)TION: Joe Schmidt made a motion, seconded by Sharon Lane to <br /> approve the master plan for this park. Motion was approved. <br /> 20/20 VISION UPDATE: Brian Bourassa gave a presentation on the <br /> recommendations that have come from the 20/20 Vision Park and <br /> Recreation Committee. He said that the information that was <br /> given to the Park Board was only a draft of their recommendations <br /> and changes may still be made. He stated that the first three <br /> priorities are trail development, recreation center, and park <br /> development. Park development included recreation programs. He <br /> briefly highlighted the packet. <br /> r� Brian introduced Ray Weber and Laura Wolf who were also present <br /> for the meeting. <br /> George said the Park Board has been concentrating on an athletic <br /> complex and the 20/20 group has not even addressed it. Brian <br /> said it is not one of the four specific improvements or <br /> additions. However, it has been discussed at the meetings. <br /> George did not think it was going to be revenue producing other <br /> than to help support itself. He continued by saying that the <br /> Park Board got the feeling, from residents, that they wanted the <br /> complex. He said the recommendation did not address the need for <br /> active athletic type facility. Brian said maybe the group would <br /> have to revisit this before the final presentation but the intent <br /> was to have the athletic site be included in park development. <br /> Ray said that Park Board had a good park development plan and <br /> they should use it. He went on to say that the board should do <br /> surveys to obtain more information from residents. They <br /> recommended that the board use the newsletter to help gather <br /> information. George said what he is getting from staff is the <br /> residents are asking where do their kids play hockey or baseball <br /> etc. Marty said yes this is what he and Barry hear all the time. <br /> Marty said if we forgo the purchase of land for an athletic <br /> complex there won't be land available when we do decide to <br /> purchase it. Joe asked how much input staff gave to the 20/20 <br /> group because it was his understanding that softball teams had <br /> been turned away this year because of lack of playing facilities. <br /> 5 <br />
