March 15 - The City of Circle Pines' task force, which is working on the Comprehensive <br />Park Plan, met and gave general guidelines that will allow us to begin work on the <br />master plan for Baldwin Park. <br />April 8 - Alternatives for the relocation of the Lino Lakes equipment will be developed <br />for consideration at an informational meeting with park area residents. <br />April 14 - Public informational meeting will be held with the surrounding neighborhoods, <br />city staff, task force, etc. to gather input from everyone to guide us in the decision <br />making process. <br />April 22 - The information gathered from the public meeting will be utilized to determine <br />whether the replacement of the Lino Lakes playground structure is to be integrated into <br />the Baldwin Park Master Plan, or if it will be a freestanding project. That decision will <br />affect the timeline for the equipments availability. <br />If the replacement of the playground structure is a freestanding project, and not <br />integrated into the Baldwin Park Master Plan project, we would envision a time schedule <br />that has quotes prepared for the May 3 Park Board meeting. <br />May 3 - Park Board would award quotes authorizing construction, envisioning that <br />project completion would be in 30 -45 days. <br />As you are aware, the Lino Lakes Park Board has recommended the equipment be part <br />of Baldwin Park within the City of Circle Pines. The timeline prepared by Brauer and <br />Associates, if that course is chosen, is attached for your information. <br />Irregardless of the final location, Circle Pines will complete the park equipment <br />relocation as quickly as possible. <br />As has been consistently indicated, we believe it is in our mutual interest to provide <br />recreational services to all people in the area to the extent that we are able, which is <br />why the City of Circle Pines was willing to lease Circle Pines and to Lino Lakes in the <br />first placo <br />We look forward to your favorable consideration. <br />Sincerely, <br />James W. Keinath <br />City Administrator <br />Enclosure: (1) Baldwin Park Master Plan Project Tentative Schedule - <br />
