He noted the Total Undesignated <br />Funds balance is $92,630. <br />Rick added that he did receive a call from a resident regarding <br />the Pheasant Hills bridge that was discussed during the Park <br />Board's Goal Setting Meeting. It was the consensus of the Park <br />Board that the project would be discussed again in November when <br />the Park Board looks at 2006 Park Board Goals. <br />Mr. Rob Rafferty, resident of Lino Lakes, inquired about the <br />status of the Pheasant Hills bridge. Chair Lindy indicated the <br />Park Board couldn't designate any Park Board funds until the <br />Birch Street Trail project is completed in October. <br />Mr. Rafferty stated the Pheasant Hills residents want to help out <br />financially with the project. Residents want to be proactive and <br />will continue to address the Park Board regarding this issue. <br />NEW BUSINESS: <br />Community Sports Associations Usage of Area Parks for Practices: <br />Rick referred to the 2005 Field Use Allocation grid that was <br />distributed in the packets. He noted there are three micro - <br />fields at Lino Park that are also being used by Centennial Soccer <br />teams. <br />Aaron stated his neighbor raised a concern regarding the <br />scheduling and availability of fields within Lino Lakes. There <br />are too many athletic teams practicing on fields at the same time <br />causing safety issues. <br />Paul stated there are several open green spaces available within <br />the City for t -ball and young soccer teams to use as practice <br />fields such as LaMotte Park and Centerville Elementary School. <br />Rick advised next year would be worse for youth sports regarding <br />field availability in Lino Lakes. He noted Centennial Youth <br />Soccer does not use any fields in the surrounding cities. Next <br />year there will be fewer fields in Lino Lakes available to them. <br />The City of Lino Lakes is currently providing all of the fields <br />for Centennial Soccer. There are 60% of Lino Lakes residents <br />involved in Centennial Soccer. <br />2 <br />
