CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1994 culvert work to be done, move a berm and place the trails. He explained that there was an area of Aspen trees that would be affected by this project. OSM has developed a grading plan for this parking lot. Marty reviewed the plan with the Park Board Members. OSM sent a preliminary engineers estimate along with the plan. He stated that he a Brian had reviewed these costs and they felt it could possibly be done at a little cheaper cost. Brian pointed out a clump of pine trees, on the plan, in case the members would like to go look at the area. He explained the parking lot would be placed just north of these trees. Secondly, the trail on the north side of the open area would not affect the trees, it would go on the existing trail and would require very little or no grading. The flat area would require minor grading to get the drainage as shown on the plan. There may be slight changes, on the plan, if there was wetlands areas identified and/or if archeological significant sights found. There was discussion on the archeological areas of the site. Marty explained that the Historical Society is in charge of these areas. George explained that the indian mounds are not that obvious but if you know what you are looking for you will be able to see them. OTHER UPDATEVOLD BUSINESS: There was no other updates or old business. NEW BUSINESS: Marty said that the Rice Creek Trail Association had left several snowmobile maps at the Park Building.

Pam suggested rules be posted at the unsupervised rinks. Marty said that he and Barry had not heard of any problems, in the past years, at the unsupervised rinks. He said they could post park rules signs and see how they work. As an alternative to the kids using regular hockey pucks at these rinks, the signs may say sponge pucks or tennis ball use only. The signs may also say no hockey playing when general skaters are present. Maybe cones could be used to divide general skating from hockey players. Barry said he urges residents to contact the Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Department if there are problems at any rink in the City.
