4B. <br /> AGENDA ITEM <br /> STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson <br /> DATE: October 26, 1995 <br /> TOPIC: Trails Committee <br /> BACKGROUND <br /> Much discussion concerning the planning, maintenance, <br /> development, safety, and funding of trails has transpired over <br /> the last few years, and with added resolve from the 20/20 Vision <br /> Focus it was decided at the last Park Board meeting to <br /> investigate the formation of a Trails Committee. I was directed <br /> to make a recommendation on this. <br /> Please find enclosed copies of the City of Shorview's Resolution <br /> forming a Trails Committee, and The City of Vadnais Heights <br /> Ordinance, establishing a Trails Commission. Both groups are <br /> charged with making recommendations concerning trails. <br /> Please notice a couple of differences. Shorview has 11 members <br /> on their committee, and meets once a month, and Vadnais Heights <br /> meets on a quarterly minimum schedule with 5 members. <br /> Shorview indicated that meeting once a month was too much, they <br /> simply ran out of agenda items after a while. Vadnais Heights <br /> had 5 members with city staff members acting as liaisons and <br /> representing the Planning, Park and Public Safety aspects of <br /> trails. Shorview, indicated that it became very difficult to <br /> create liaisons to each other committee from existing committee <br /> members because after a while liaisons simply didn't show up for <br /> lengthy periods of time. They are now reevaluating this process. <br /> OPTIONS <br /> 1. Establish a committee of 5 members with staff liaisons to <br /> meet on a quarterly basis, unless otherwise needed basis. <br /> 2. Some other combination. <br /> 3 . Refer back to staff for further consideration. <br /> RECOffi ENDATION <br /> Option 1 <br />
