<br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />Mr. Bechel discussed the Hugo Park and the different surface products used for the <br />playground besides wood fiber. Mr. DeGardner stated upgrading to rubberized surfacing <br />would take away a significant amount of playground equipment due to cost. Mr. Bechel asked <br />about donating options. <br /> <br />Mr. Kusterman stated if we told the residents how much a new playground surface would <br />cost, maybe an organization could raise the additional money. <br /> <br />C. Brainstorming Session <br />Pat Huelmann, Park Board Chair, suggested we utilize the October Park Board meeting as an <br />opportunity to brainstorm and potentially identify some short- and long-term projects <br />throughout the parks and trails system. <br />Some ideas include: <br /> <br />• Choose a couple of parks that have significant items left from their masterplan or might need <br />a new master plan <br />• Identify park needs beyond our well-known playground replacement (more hard courts, <br />shelters/gazebos/tables/benches) <br />• Identify critical trail needs (both repair or additions) <br />• Think outside the box on projects too big for the annual allotment (hard courts on skating rink, <br />major trail segments, totally new features) <br />Mr. Huelman explains his ideas/vision. <br /> <br />Mr. Gooder stated not ever ything needs to be updated at each park. <br /> <br />Mr. Gooder would like each park and trail branded with Lino Lakes signs, update at least 2 <br />parks per year, and create trails. <br /> <br />Mr. Huelman discusses Marshan Park and several other trails that need to be created/updated. <br />Would like to come up with a list of trails to be created and share with City Council. <br /> <br />Mr. Kusterman would like a list of parks and trails for a 5-10 year plan that goes before City <br />Council. <br />
