• <br />• <br />Park Board Meeting - April 7, 2003 <br />Minutes <br />Paul asked where the park land would be located if land were <br />dedicated for the park dedication fee. <br />Mr. Goertz advised the land dedication would be off Linda Avenue <br />near the cul -de -sac. <br />Bill noted there is access for the neighborhood to a couple of <br />different parks. <br />Chair Lindy stated there is no trail on the west side of Ware <br />Road. He asked if that area is all low land. <br />Mr. Goertz advised that area is low land and it would be very <br />difficult to construct a trail. However, it would not be hard to <br />add a trail access on the west end. The access could be <br />developed between lots 11 and 12. <br />It was the consensus of the Park Board to accept 100% cash <br />dedication for the park dedication fee. The Park Board also <br />determined a trail access from the northwest quadrant between Fox <br />Trace and Ravens Hollow would be desirable. <br />2002 -2003 WARMING HOUSE REPORT: <br />Rick reviewed the attendance report for the three shelters that <br />were opened during the 2002 -03 winter season. <br />The three shelters that were opened this past season were <br />Sunrise, Birch and Lino parks. Sunrise and Birch once again <br />proved to be the most popular locations. <br />Based on the anticipated budget crisis and attendance figures, <br />Rick suggested the Park Board review the attendance figures and <br />determine if the City should open Lino Park next winter. It may <br />be justifiable to only have two shelters open for the 2003 -04 <br />season. <br />Chair Lindy stated that looking at the numbers is it tough to <br />justify keeping Lino Park open. <br />Bill stated it was tough to maintain the rinks this past year. <br />However, he indicated he does not believe staff did a good job of <br />maintaining the rinks at Birch Park on the weekends. He stated <br />he believes attendance would increase if the rinks are better <br />maintained. <br />Rick stated that is a good point and this issue can be discussed <br />further when the City knows what the legislature will do. <br />RECREATION DEPARTMENT UPDATE: <br />Rick referred to the Program Highlights Flyer from March 2003. He <br />noted the second annual CLUB Sweetheart Dance on Saturday, <br />3 <br />
