1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL MEETING AUGUST 23, 1993 <br />programs are then advertised through the schools. This process <br />then opens the programs to non-residents. Since many programs <br />use school facilities, it would not be possible to limit non- <br />resident participation. <br />Mayor Reinert noted a report that indicates that participants <br />live in many different cities. He asked if the increase in <br />participation is from non-residents or from Lino Lakes residents. <br />Mr. Bernstein explained that the increase is very definitely from <br />Lino Lakes residents. About 85% to 90% of the participation is <br />from Lino Lakes residents. He noted that Lino Lakes residents <br />are given the first option and then the program is opened to non- <br />residents. <br />Mayor Reinert asked if the user fee charges are the same for <br />residents and non-residents. Mr. Bernstein said the fees are the <br />same, however, this may change. Mayor Reinert felt that since <br />the Lino Lakes residents support the recreation program through <br />their tax dollars, they should be given a break. Mr. Bernstein <br />explained that matter is being given some consideration. <br />Mayor Reinert noted that some programs lost money and noted that <br />fees for these programs may need to be increased. He also noted <br />that one (1) program served totally non-residents. Mr. Bernstein <br />explained that the program was Line Dancing and all the students <br />were Centennial School District faculty. Mayor Reinert suggested <br />that the fees for this program should be increased. <br />Council Member Bergeson noted that some children were unable to <br />get into a recreation program. He asked if the problem was <br />limited staffing or limited facilities. Mr. Bernstein explained <br />the problem was definitely the lack of space. This was <br />especially true for evening classes. <br />Mayor Reinert felt there was a great amount of success with the <br />summer recreation program. He thanked Mr. Bernstein for coming <br />this evening. <br />PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD REPORT <br />Consideration of a Variance to Lot Size, Quail Ridge - Ms. Wyland <br />used the overhead projector and described the two lots in need of <br />a variance. She noted that the final plat was recently approved <br />by the City Council after extensive work between the staf! and <br />the developer concerning the location and construction of the <br />park trail.
