1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />COUNCIL MEETING APRIL 11, 1994 <br />Mr. Backlund explained that he is looking for a reasonable <br />solution to the problem and noted that the entrances are not <br />needed at this time and there is another access further to the <br />south. Mayor Reinert explained that the City Council does not <br />have an answer to the problem at this time, but will ask the Park <br />Board to reconsider the matter and bring another recommendation <br />for the City Council to consider. <br />Council Member Bergeson noted that access points are needed and <br />suggested that the church be contacted. Mr. Ferris explained <br />that he has talked to persons at the church but there has been no <br />response to date. <br />Mr. Backlund asked the City Council if anyone denied that this is <br />poor planning and asked if those who do the planning should be <br />reviewed. Council Member Kuether noted that the developer and <br />staff agreed where the trails should be placed. Mayor Reinert <br />explained that park and trail planning is not done haphazardly. <br />The plan was prepared by professional people with citizen input. <br />Council Member Elliott explained that this is frustrating and <br />explained that the matter will be addressed by the Parks <br />Director. He will be in contact with the residents. <br />There was discussion regarding the house setback from the <br />easement. Mayor Reinert asked that this be addressed by the <br />Building Inspector. <br />Mr. Backlund asked if there is any assurance that the trail <br />entrance will not be blacktopped prior to the meeting with the <br />Parks Director and the Park Board. Mr. Schneider explained the <br />process and noted that it would be at least June before <br />blacktopping is started. He explained that there is time to work <br />on the problem. <br />Mayor Reinert asked that this matter be directed to the Parks <br />Director and placed on the Park Board agenda. <br />REVIEW OF THE SUMMER RECREATION PROGRAM, BARRY BERNSTEIN <br />Mr. Bernstein gave the City Council a copy of the Spring/Summer, <br />1994 Recreation Program booklet and briefly highlighted the new <br />programs and outlined the registration procedure. He noted that <br />the staff is very proud of the accomplishments of the Recreation <br />Department. Mr. Bernstein noted the traveling playground program <br />and explained that a vehicle had been donated to the Recreation <br />Department. The vehicle is being outfitted to go to both the <br />Shenandoah Park and the Sunset Oaks Park so that these two (2) <br />parks can offer more programming for children. <br />PAGE 3 <br />153 <br />
