Centennial School District Facility and Field Rental Charges Mr. Rick DeGardner spoke to the Park Board reviewing the new charges in effect for the use of Centennial School District's indoor and outdoor facilities. Commencing with the start of the 2016-2017 school year, CSD will be charging Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation rent for use of their facilities. Rental charges and fees as well as field use and facility availability were reviewed. The Board discussed the approximately $70,000 worth of equipment that has been provided to the CSD fields over the years and how they need to evaluate whether some of these assets need to be relocated throughout our parks systems. The Board was made aware that the City of Lino Lakes Parks Department has charged only for labor and materials for striping and field set up on the school district fields for the various youth sports associations. However, this may not be appropriate moving forward as well as shared expense for portable restrooms set up at the fields. Mr. DeGardner explained that the need to move programs to our own fields and facilities while maintaining our relationships with the local youth sports associations, and also ways to absorb the costs vs having to raise costs for our programs while we continue to provide quality programs to our community and to the children in our community has been considered. The Board recommended trying to discuss this further with the Centennial School District. 7. New Business • Woods Edge Park Mr. DeGardner described that Phase 1 construction of Woods Edge is now underway which consists of approximately 60 units. The City is currently working with Anoka County Parks Department on constructing a park adjacent to the YMCA within the Regional park preserve property. Construction is expected to begin in 2017. They will try to keep as many of the natural mature trees to keep a wooded feel to the park.
