• <br />Park Board Meeting - October 4, 2004 <br />Minutes <br />lease. He noted he believes there could be some legal issues. <br />The basketball court will more than likely be removed also. The <br />development is a senior type project with no planned park area. <br />Staff would like the City of Circle Pines to commit to a <br />resolution that Lino Lakes is comfortable with. <br />Paul asked if staff believes the City of Lino Lakes will get <br />billed for the removal of the equipment. Rick stated he did not <br />think the City would get billed for the removal of the equipment. <br />He stated staff intends on informing the residents in the area <br />when a resolution is agreed on. <br />Bill stated he believes there should be some sort of <br />reimbursement for the equipment so the City can plan another park <br />area for residents in that area. <br />Rick suggested getting a commitment from Circle Pines to upgrade <br />Baldwin Park for residents in that area to utilize. <br />It was the consensus of the Park Board that they want to see <br />funds, at least in the equivalent of the money spent for Rice <br />Lake Estates Park, spent on additional improvements at Baldwin <br />Park. Staff should include a dollar amount in the proposal. <br />Paul Montain made a motion, seconded by Bill Kusterman, to direct <br />staff to continue to work with Circle Pines to resolve this issue <br />noting that if the situation is not resolved, the City may pursue <br />other options. The motion was approved. <br />Rick noted the Circle Pines Park Board meeting is tomorrow <br />evening. He stated Park Board Members from Lino Lakes are <br />welcome to attend. <br />RECREATION DEPARTMENT UPDATE: <br />Rick referred to the Program Highlights Flyer from September <br />2004. He noted a total of 310 participants (grades 2 -8) are in <br />fall football - a total of 17 teams. A total of 412 participants <br />(ages 5 -12) are in fall soccer this year - equaling 45 total <br />teams. <br />Rick added the 7th Annual Family Turkey Shoot is scheduled for <br />Saturday, November 13, 2004 from 10 a.m. - Noon at Centennial <br />Middle School. Staff is currently look for volunteers to help <br />with this event. <br />PARKS DEPARTMENT UPDATE: <br />Rick reviewed a memo from Mike Hoffman, Parks Supervisor, which <br />summarizes the maintenance highlights for September 2004. Rick <br />noted the seasonal staff has left and gone back to school. The <br />turf is growing like crazy and we are trying to cut twice weekly. <br />3 <br />
