PARK,RECREATION,FORESTRY,AND RECYCLING DEPARTMENTS 7204 LAKE DRIVE,LINO LAKES,MINNESOTA 55014 (612)464-5562 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING T MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1995 The August 7, 1995, City of Lino Lakes Park Board meeting was called to order at 6 : 34pm. Roll call was taken, members present were Joe Schmidt, Acting Chair, Amy Donlin, Betty Piper, Sharon Lane and Pam Taschuk. Also present were Marty Asleson, Park, Recreation, and Forestry Coordinator, and Sandie Wood, Recording Secretary. Members absent were George Lindy and Ken Johnson. APPROVAL OF JUNE 5, 1995 MINUTES: Sharon Lane made a motion to approve the June 5 minutes, Amy Donlin seconded the motion. Minutes were approved with no corrections . OPEN MIKE: There was no one present to speak under Open Mike. UPDATES AND OLD BUSINESS: Trappers Crossing - Mini Park: Marty told the members that copies of previous minutes, a vicinity map, location map, as well as a drawing by the City Engineering Department, concerning a location that would work for a small mini-park in the south Trappers Crossing area was included in the packet . At a previous meeting the board directed Marty to investigate the possibilities of a site such as this . Marty has talked to Roger Hokenson about this but has not connected on this firmly yet . He will be walking the area when Roger gets back into town. Marty did say that Roger did mention naming the park after a deceased nephew of his. Joe asked if it was low land. Marty responded that the park area would be comprised of a division of two lots in a wetland area with approximately 13 , 500 square feet of upland. The remaining lots would have enough area to conform to our zoning regulations . Trails - Gravel and Paving Updates: In the packets Marty included a recent survey completed on gravel trail sections in the city that are ready for paving. He has talked to John Powell about "piggy-backing" these trails on to another project in the city. Marty explained that this would give the city more of an economy of scale advantage. He said we 1 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING n MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1995 are working with $15, 000 worth of dedicated park funds only, this year. Last year, with paving trails on the city overlay road projects, we placed 7020 feet of trail in at a cost of $28, 829 . 84 including engineering costs of $1402 . 02 . Without this combined effort, this project would have cost much more. Marty went on to say that his concern is if we are not able to combine with some other efforts, does the Park Board still wish to spend the dedicated park dollars, or wait until we can get more "bang for the buck" . Pam wanted to know how many feet could be done with the dedicated dollars we have now. Marty responded, maybe 1/3 could be done this year. Sharon' s thought on this issues was that if a trail could be connected it should be given high priority, instead of a new trail . Betty asked how Marty determined priority for the trails . Marty said first priority were trails on the list the longest, secondly was the safety standpoint, but mainly were the ones in the residential areas . Joe asked if the $1, 400 was dedicated money. Marty said there was $15, 000 in the dedicated park fund and $15, 000 in the general fund. The $1, 400, spent on engineering costs, came from the general fund and park dedication fund. . The members were concerned about the rising cost to complete trails if the city waits to do them, and the increase of future trail development . The Park Board recommended that Marty go forward and write the specs to get price quotes for trail paving. It was suggested that this be discussed at the September goal setting meeting. Projects: Wenzel Farms - The playground was raised in the Wenzel Farm development on Saturday, August 5, 1995, by the neighborhood, Dave Lichtscheidl, and a representative from the playground company. It took them about eight hours to 2 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1995 do the work. Marty continued by saying the residents had put a lot of sweat equity in this park. Approximately two weeks ago they poured the cement for the basketball court . The playground company will be giving (at no charge) the neighborhood a Four Seater-Teeter because some of the posts, that were delivered, were the wrong color. The staff will be putting pea rock and edging in. Marty invited the Board to come and see this new park. He is very proud of the Park Maintenance staff and the job they do for the City of Lino Lakes . Birchwood Park - Marty said the city crews will have to do a "total kill" of the grass in this area again because it started growing again after the first total kill was done . Marty has been in contact with the neighborhood group and they may wait and implement this park next year. City Hall Park - This will be the next project the city crews will be working on so that the building, from Shoreview, can be moved in this fall . Tables - Moline Concrete has given the City of Lino Lakes, through the Friends of the Park, 12 handicap accessible tables . The city crews have poured eight slabs at Country Lakes Park, two at Birch Park and two at Wenzel Park for these tables . Birch Park - The city crew poured the extra concrete, from the picnic slab pour, around the building to start a handicap access . Concrete will now have to be poured from this area to the road. Plaques have been ordered for the tables that will recognize Moline Concrete as donors through the Friends of the Park. Brandywood Park - Marty passed out a letter from a group of residents that have concerns about this park. He discussed their concerns with tree removal, the area for the basketball court, parking and traffic, and their lack of involvement in the park process . He told the Board that after a few field meetings it was determined that the problem was not the master plan that was approved, but the location of a wetland on the master plan. This was a problem because of the intended buffer of trees that we determined to leave and the location of the trees on the 3 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1995 backside of the wetland (which would screen the residents) , was thought to be needed to be removed by the residents when they viewed the master plan. The wetland drawn by Jeff Schoenbauer was correct as it was presented in the final plat description. The field observation the residents pointed out seems to indicate an inaccuracy in this plat drawing. Marty believes we now have an understanding with the neighborhood that the trees are to remain, and we are waiting a letter of petition from the concerned residents to proceed. The mayor requested that this be resolved before proceeding. Marty was informed by the residents that the letter would be in the office on September 7th or 8th. Marty went on to talk about the base mapping for future expansion. He said Michael Krech, City of Lino Lakes Engineering Department, did an excellent job on this project . Jeff Schoenbauer took Michael' s information and incorporated it into the master plan for half the cost or less than what it would have normally cost the city. What Marty would like to get done now is grading and putting the trails in. There was discussion on a temporary culvert that is going to be put in so equipment can be brought in to do the trail work. Amy asked about traffic and parking. Marty felt parking was not going to be a problem, but, if it became a problem it would have to be posted residential parking only. Pam asked if the people were concerned that this was going to become a programmed park. Marty said this is a concern in all our parks not just this one. Joe wanted to know if the wetlands, west of the picnic area, would affect the trail . Marty responded yes, you can' t place a permanent trail in a wetland. There was discussion about surrounding neighborhoods using this park. It was also asked if the Brandywood Park residents know this can happen. Joe said they are aware of this because it was addressed in their letter to the city. 4 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1995 Joe suggested that the next pre-meeting be at the Brandywood Park. Rice Lake Estates - There is a couple of issues with this park. One is the two lots that are in need of improvements . Marty said he, the Corps of Engineers, and Rice Creek Watershed were questioning the need for a permit . He has sent all the information to the Corps of Engineers and they determined that we definitely need a permit to do this work. Marty said President Clinton has legislation on his desk pertaining to lot filling of residential lots . He said the Corps of Engineers said we could wait and see if the president signs the legislation because it would pertain to these lots . Jim Keinath from the City of Circle Pines and their lawyers were working on language changes to the joint agreement . Jim thought they were to wait unit the master plan was done Marty told Jim the agreement should be completed so we know we have an agreement before money is put into the master plan. Jim will contact the attorneys and get them working on it again so he may be able to bring something to the next Park Board meeting. Athletic Complex - Marty reported that he and George are still meeting with residents to shop for another piece of property. He said that sometime in September or October he should have a response back on the grant that was submitted on the original site. Living Waters Church Trail - Marty has received bids on this project and is ready to start the work. There has been a little modification to the trail where it comes out on Birch Street and wraps around the church. It involves some culvert design. John Powell is working with him on the change. Recreation Programs: Adult summer softball is over and it was a big success again this year. The playground program is also over and it seemed to go over well . He and Barry were talking over new programs last week and they may have a kid/parents camp-out next year. 5 CITY OF LINO LAKES ,ram PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1995 Safety Camp will be held on Thursday, August 10, at Rice Lake Elementary School . It is a joint effort between the Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Department, Centennial Fire District, Circle-Lex and Lino Lakes Police Department . The cost is $10 and it is a great event that the kids really seem to enjoy. Marty encouraged members to attend this event if they were able to. Joe asked if there was a limited number that could enroll . Sandie reported that 100 kids to participate and approximately 80 kids had already registered. Country Lakes Park Swimming Beach: Marty said that a daily count was taken this summer and many times there were six people or more swimming and using this area. Joe said he felt the usage would go up when this park becomes more developed. It was suggested that this topic be discussed at the goal setting meeting. Performance In the Park: The performances sponsored by Target Industries, through the Friends of the Park Foundation went well this summer. The number of people attending varied but overall, attendance was great . The Friends sold T-shirts and popcorn at the performances . Friends of the Park: The Friends of the Park will not meet in August . They are working on a form that would release them from liability if someone funnels a piece of equipment, through them, to the City of Lino Lakes . They are also working on setting up an initial meeting for the golf tournament they would like to hold next fall . Recognition plaques have been ordered for the picnic tables and irrigation system. There was discussion about having a farmers market in the park next summer. Marty has found someone that would be interested in managing this project . Pam said this has been a popular event in other cities and asked when this would be done. Marty wasn' t sure if it would be during the week or on weekends . He is going to meet with Dan at Waldoch' s to check and see if Sunrise Park would be a good location and 6 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1995 see if they would be interested in participating in a farmers market/flea market . ADA: Marty told the board that he has gotten City Council approval to hire an ADA Coordinator. He will be updating the board as he goes along. Butterfly Garden: Girl Scout Troops 417 and 241 put a flower plot at Shores of Marshan Park. They will be putting interpretive signing by this butterfly garden. He told members that this looks very nice and invited them to come and see what has been done. He reported that there has already been an increase in butterflies around the garden. Marty said there are several boy scouts that are looking for projects too. He has several ideas and will pass them along to the scouts . He asked the members to let him know if they had any project ideas . Amy said this was something that could be put in the residents library at City Hall . She asked Marty to check with the girls and see if they would mind putting their information in the library so it can be shared with Lino Lakes residents . Other Updates and Old Business: Marty included a report, in members packets, that was submitted to the Lino Lakes Police Department concerning two break-ins at Sunrise Park shelter. He said he understood that there has been some apprehensions on this vandalism. He will keep the board informed on any recovery. The sad thing about this is that it takes valuable staff time to secure, fix and repair, therefore, taking time away from other important projects that need to be completed. Amy said we should make an example of these people . They should be put to work to repair/cleanup what was destroyed. Pam thought that this might be out of the Cities hands because the county takes it over. Marty has been meeting with Jeanie Kenow on CEPTED and one things she continues to bring out is that lighting can make a difference in an area. 7 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, AUGUST 7, 1995 Amy said we need to stay on top of this and we should get the word out that there are neighborhood watch groups that do keep an eye on things . Schedule of Goal Setting Meeting: The meeting will be Wednesday, September 20 at 6 :30pm at the Park and Recreation Building. Schedule of September Park Board Meeting• The next Park Board meeting will be held on Monday, September 11, 6 : 30pm at City Hall . We will have to hold the meeting in another room because there is a City Council meeting scheduled for that evening. Adjourn: Pam Taschuk made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Betty Piper. Meeting was adjourned at 8 : OOpm. 8 A rI l� City of Limo Lakes 1995 Park Goals There was discussion and a poll was taken, of the members, as to their level of priority for the items listed below: i.

Decided to put on hold City of Lino Lakes Park Board Goal Setting Meeting Thursday, September 22, 1994 The goal setting meeting started at 6:15pm at the Lino Lakes Park, Recreation and Forestry }wilding on September 22, 1994 . Members present were Brian Bourassa, Amy Donlin, Pam Taschuk, George Lindy, and Ken Johnson. Staff in attendance were Marty Asleson, Parks, Recreation and Forestry Coordinator, Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor, and Sandie Wood, Parks, Recreation and Forestry Secretary. Board member Sharon Lane arrived at 6:30pm. Marty Asleson started the meeting by reviewing the goals in the Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide and the criteria for prioritizing acquisition according to the plan. Marty advised the board that the dedicated park fund total as of August 31, 1994, is $147,000, total committed funds of unspent pending projects is $83, 800, leaving a total dedicated park fund balance, after commitments, of $63,200. He than passed out a memo from Mary Kay Worland that indicated $202,963 remain to be transferred from the individual subdivisions escrow account(s) to the park fund. She indicated the transfer of funds would be made prior to fiscal year-end 1994 . Marty talked about the survey that was done in 1988. He then discussed a handout that indicated the rating of park facilities and activities. Marty said that he had put money in the budget to do another survey next year but he did not know if the money would remain there. George Lindy discussed the change in population. He said we all have to keep that in mind when we are planning neighborhood parks. Currently they are toddlers but in 5 years or so they will be older and the parents will want different things in their park. As an example, a baseball field instead of playground equipment. He said a good example of population change is the Brandy Wood development. There is only three teenagers in the whole area and the rest are younger. Marty thought 60 percent of the kids were between the ages of 3 and S. Amy passed out a survey. She stated she had meet with different neighborhood groups and they had formed this survey. Marty said the Recreation Focus Committee should be involved in the survey process if one is done. Amy asked if this survey could be passed along to the City Council. Marty responded yes. Brian said he thought the survey was slanted and recommended that they meet with the person on the Recreation Focus Committee who seemed to have expertise in this area. Amy was thankful for the feedback and said she would take this information back to her neighborhood groups. Pam suggested that when a survey was done we look for someone that is working on a masters degree and would do the survey as a research project. Amy talked about the Mayor s 20/20 Vision and voiced her concerns with it. 1 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Goal Setting Meeting Thursday, September 22, 1994 Marty explained that since the last Park Board meeting he has talked with Council Person Linda Elliot and she said the City Council will be ready for a work session, with the Park Board, in January to discuss alternative funding and where things are going. Marty commented on the goals of the Park Board for the last two years and their status: 1993 Goals NORTH SIDE OF THE CITY - $10000-$12000 for a hockey rink (probably at City Hall) - Not completed.

One lot is buildable and we would have to request a variance to the wetland laws for the second lot. LINO PARK PARKING LOT - $5000 for parking lot improvements - Done. SUNSET OAKS PARK - $300 for access to park - Not Done. CONCEPT DESIGN FOR MISCELLANEOUS PARKS - $2000. BIRCH PARK - Land acquisition - $8000. NEW AND UNAPPROVED ITEMS - Shoreview Park Shelter - $10000 After general conversation on the status of the 1993/1994 goals Marty discussed an issues report he had written. He also passed out a map so members could see the areas he was discussing. Future Land Needs: N-14 —Dedication was taken for land development in the Woods of Baldwin Lake II. Dedication dollars were also taken for the Woodridge development. We still have park land needs in this area. N-11 - Birch Park - dollars are needed to purchase additional land for the Trappers Crossing Development. Dollars from Trappers Crossing should be used for this. JU-3 - Pheasant Hills Preserve - Dollars from the PHP development should be used to purchase 8-10 acres in this area. He feels the school is not going to develop it as a school site. Marty briefly discussed new, partially or fully dedicated parks, no amenities with the board members. This included Shores of Marshan, Wenzel Farms, Birchwood Acres/Park Grove, Qual Ridge, Brandy Wood, and Pheasant Hills Preserve parks. He then continued by talking about Birch Park and Woods of Baldwin Lake Park which are new, partially or fully dedicated parks with some amenities. The overview continued by discussing older park areas with some amenities which included Lino, Arena Acres, City Hall, Sunset Oaks, Sunrise, Shenandoah and Lamotte Parks. Older park areas with no amenities (Rice Lake Estates) and Joint use parks ^ with some amenities (Rice Lake Elementary) were the last items discussed in this presentation. 3 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Goal Setting Meeting September 22, 1994 There was discussion on land acquisition at Birch Park and the cost. Marty stated that he estimated the cost to be approximately $8, 000. Amy asked about dedicated fees and if they were guaranteed. It was explained that developers must post a bond and the city would get the money even if they went bankrupt. Marty continued by explaining staff and his role in the process. He went on to say that when establishing goals for 1995 he hoped the board would included a realistic look at available staff and the need to hire contractors if necessary. He did not feel it was likely that additional staff would be hired for 1995. He also continued by saying that as more improvements are made more pressure is put on the department to inspect, correct and maintain the areas. Brian thought the Park Board had programmed rather well for 1994 as everything was completed but one item. Marty commented that we did meet the goals that were set, but other things were neglected, such as inspection for safety and appearance. Ken asked who makes the determination on whether a job is contracted or not. Marty responded that it was the City Council that makes the decisions. Ken suggested that after the priorities are set maybe they should be looked at and decide how much manpower is needed and establish what should be contracted. Marty told the Park Board that he was going to propose to redo the trail development ordinance. He would like to get the contractors to do the trails in the development rather than the city doing them. Marty talked about another city that receives $150/lot to go towards trail development. Marty told the board that Moline Concrete would like to do something in the community, on the north side, whether it be completing a city park or something else. Marty told Moline Concrete that the N-7 Park cost $240, 000 to develop. They to Marty that they do pre-formed concrete picnic tables and asked how many he wanted. The Park Board members hoped something would come out of this. George then said the board should look at what was not done last year and then look ahead at future issues. There was general discussion on the status of N-14, Country Lakes Park, trails, A- 3, Rice Creek Estates, Wenzel, Pine Ridge, Brandywood, Quail Ridge, Shores of Marshan, N-12, Rice Lake Elementary Tennis Courts, Pheasant Hills Preserve and the status of the Shoreview building. Ken stated that projects that are near completion should get top priority. Marty added that the trail on Jeanne Drive is important and should be considered. 4 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Goal Setting Meeting Thursday, September 22, 1994 Brian reviewed what George had gone over, there was discussion and a poll was taken, of the members, as to their level of priority for the following items: 1. N14 (Land Acquisition) Amy - high Ken - middle Pam - middle # George - middle Brian - middle Sharon middle 2 .

Decided to put on hold Lino Park - $2, 000 approved last year for inside lighting. 1994 - finish park building for warminghouse. George stated that they need to look at the items from previous priority lists and make sure that funding is not being set aside again. Marty told the Park Board that there would no longer be free water for flooding ice rinks. We will be given a meter and charged $1.45/1000 gallons of water used. It would be a good idea to make rinks on ponds in the areas that have them. 7 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Goal Setting Meeting September 22, 1994 Some of the work may have to be contracted out or have the neighborhoods help build them. Marty explained that it cost $400 to have someone from the playground equipment company come out and help put the equipment together. Marty stated that we had enough manpower to do a couple of large projects and a couple smaller projects each year and still keep up with the maintenance that is necessary. It was noted that the cost of the items on the priority list came to approximately $90,000. There was discussion on what the cost of the projects done last year came to and what the total cost would be for the two years. There was discussion again on the trail ordinance. Marty said he was going to be doing research on this and would report back to the Park Board. It was requested that the priority list be put in the next Park Board meeting packets so the members could review, prioritize, and bring them to the meeting. The meeting ended at 9:45pm. 8 COUNCIL MEETING NOVEMBER 14, 1994 asked that Mr. Asleson relay the appreciation of the City Council for this gift. CONSIDERATION OF PARK BOARD GOALS FOR 1995 Mr. Asleson explained that each year the Park and Recreation Board holds a goal setting meeting to "revisit" the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Park Plan. Priorities are set for each project and placed in perspective of fiscal realities. The goals and expenditure request for 1995 is tabulated and outlined a list that was attached to the "green sheet" placed in the City Council packet for this meeting. Mr. Asleson explained that the trail system was the number one priority of all Park Board members and $15,000.00 has been designated for that purpose. The second request in the amount of $10,000.00 for the Recreation Complex site would be used for earnest money for the purchase of the site and to start appraisal studies and concept plans. The third request was for approximately $50,000.00 to develop or complete development in several neighborhood parks. The fourth was request for development of a neighborhood park in the Pheasant Hills area. It was noted that the developer is willing to finance the actual development. The fifth request is for $10,000.00 to prepare a site for a building to be moved in from Shoreview and for $12,000.00 for a hockey rink. The seventh request is for a trail system that would link Jeannie Drive to the neighborhood park located on Leonard and Bradley Streets. The eighth request is for money to be used for land acquisition for additional park sites. The ninth request is for money to develop a park in the Rice Lake Estates area in conjunction with the City of Circle Pines. The tenth request is for funding to start construction on the tennis courts in the Rice Lake Estates area. Council Member Bergeson moved to approve the requests to use $107,300.00 from the Dedicated Park Fund for use as outlined above. Council Member Kuether seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION OF THE FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE NO. 17 - 94 RELATING TO THE OPERATION OF SNOWMOBILES AND ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLES Chief Pecchia introduced Mr. Wayne Thompson, director of the Anoka County Park Ranges to describe what impact this ordinance has on the use of snowmobiles in the Regional Park and to describe the changes in the trail system within the Park. Mr. Jeff Roath, the newly elected president of the Rice Creek Trail Association has also reviewed the proposed ordinance.

For the past year or so the park board has been in a state of s limbo concerning park development and park land acquisitions 2. We have been waiting completion of o/ our Parks afid Recreation Comprehensive Plan from Bra•✓er and Associates. !With the level of growth we are experiencing in Lino Lakes, we need a framework to guide us in park needs, park design and trail layout. With this plan we are now able to proceed with park development in a more orderly fashion. B. Financing 1. We have a very limited budget relative to the cost of park develop- ment and real estate acquisition. 2. We do have a small balance in our Park Department Dedicated Funds Account which we have "hoarded" over the past few years while de- veloping our Comprehensive Plan. a) much of this money is already allocated for park improvement in the respective development from whence it came. b) the remaining balance is relatively insignificant when looking at the overall park development picture in Lino Lakes. 3. In the future we will try to meet our financial goals through: a) dedicated funds and dedicated land from new development b) generating funds in our recreation programs. c) funding from our non-profit "Parks and Recreation Foundation" established by park board member Jacquelyn Farm. d) ultimately developing and nurturing a percieved need in the community for park development and land acquisition and thereby gaining public support and an affirmative vote for a Parks and Recreation Bond Referendum. C. Goals of Park Board We are promoting an orderly development of the park system in Lino Lakes to follow the guidelines set forth in our Comprehensive Plan for Parks and Recreation. We have short term goals which we would like to achieve and of course we have some long term conceptual goals. a !� E (2) 1. Short term development needs a) . $10,000 for a hockey rink and lights at City Hall Park. This priority may be altered to encompass a City Hall Park master plan with the opportunity of possibly working with a Marine Corps Reserve Unit to complete Lino Park. This money may be better spent redirected into a Park Master Plan. b) . $10,000 for improvement and equipment at Leonard and Bradley Park; a park which has deteriorated to an almost unusable level. c) . $2,000 - $4,000 to master plan Country Lakes Park. The park has great potential but is currently misguided. d) . purchase and development of a park in the South Baldwin Lake area. 2. Long Term Goals a) . purchasing a larger athletic complex type park (A-3) in the Holly and 12th. Ave. area. 1) would like to tie up land with a down payment at today's prices. 2) establish some sort of creative financing beneficial to both the city and the landowner. b) . trail development 1) would like to annually finish a predetermined length of existing unpaved trails until all existing trails are paved. 2) mandate that trails be paved by the city as they are built. D. Wet Lands To make our efforts more effective when evaluating new plats for de- velopment and parkland acquisition, we would like controlled wet lands delineated on concept plans so we may determine feasible park and trail placement. We have had problems in the past and new problems are aris e � �' W ing continually with the Army Corps of Engineers designated wet lands regulation. Our policy is: �-a 1. attempt to avoid wet lands 2. by permit, fill as allowed to facilitate parkland, especially trails 3. our last choice involves expensive boardwalks and alternate methods of transversing wet lands E. Summary 1. Develop Parks and Recreation Program within the frame work of the Comprehensive Plan 2. Acquire land as needed at today's prices 3. Educate public so as to possible pass a bond referendum to fund park development 4. Listen to needs of individual neighborhoods in developing park plans n J MEMORANDUM TO: Linda Elliott FROM: Marty Asleson DATE: January 23, 1993 SUBJECT: Goal Summary 1993 Please find attached a breakdown of the priorities that are set forth in the comprehensive plan as well as cost ranges. If the totals for the top 6 Acquisition priorities are totaled, the estimate for implementation would cost $259, 000. 00. This would include the acquisition of the additional A-1, City Hall Land. The Park Board has shifted their perception of the priority ranking of A-1 with A-3 (the south side athletic complex acquisition) . Thus, the real cost of acquisition implementation becomes higher at around $445, 000. This is the real cost of acquisition. The same high costs occur with development with the cost estimate at around $610,000.00. This was the reason for the special Park Board meeting, to try to come to grips with the fiscal reality of here and now. In addition to the priorities as defined in the attached spreadsheet the Park Board, as described in the comprehensive plan, wishes to not sacrifice the small improvement and upgrade needs of the parks in lieu of expansion elsewhere. In order to make the present parks more usable the board wished to look at the following priorities: 1. $10, 000-$12,000 for a hockey rink on the north side of the City. Probably City Hall Park. 2 . $2000. 00-$4000.00 for re-master planning Country Lakes Park. 3. $2000.00-$4000.00 for master planning the n-14 park area. Although the reality of an established 6 acre park at this time is uncertain. 4. $12, 000-$15,000.00 to replace the playground at Leonard and Bradley. S. $12, 000-$14,000.00 to pave the existing gravel trails for 1993; and to keep up with a paving program for trails as new trails are dedicated. The Park Board was some what split on the Acquisition/Development but they all agreed that the Acquisition of the prioritized land �"'� areas is important. We also have an ongoing need to add equipment r}.: 9 ? -D. GEORGE H. LIND ) D.D.S. LL FAMILY DENTISTRY 14491 Forest Blvd. 426 8088 Hugo, Minnesota 55038 Intersection Hwy.61 & Co. Rd. 14 City of Lino Lakes, The City of Lino Lakes Park Board has recently completed prioritizing a list of immediate park needs which we. would like to budget for 1994. The short term goals are aimed at .completing projects already begun in existing parks, updating and maintaining older parks' completing hard surface coatings for existing trails, and planning for future neighborhood parks. Our longer range goals involve acquiring land to be used for a large citywide recreational area and developing such an area for a very diverse family .centered recreation experience. Examples of representative use would include, but are not limited to: softball and baseball fields, soccer fields, archery areas, picnic and passive areas, skating areas etc. The need for such a recreational area, plus the need for developing existing parks and parkland (ie. Country Lakes Park) brings me to the point of this letter. As we are all aware the Lino Lakes Park Board, much like the City of Lino Lakes, does not have a surplus of funds in it's treasury to finance such an undertaking. Therefore, we as a Park Board believe that if we are to continue planning for our city's future recreation needs, we must be proactive in creating financing opportunities to accomplish these goals. Because of the sums of money involved in pursuing the projects we are contemplating, we feel the only logical means of obtaining such funding is to turn to those who will benefit most from the park improvements and development, - the Citizens of the city. It is our desire to initiate some type of bond referendum to acquire the needed funding for our park needs. Because of the future needs in our city for an adequate City Hall, as well as the need for a teen center we are proposing one, or a combination of the following: 1) a stand alone referendum to finance Park needs ;.) a referendum to finance Parks and a teen center 3) a referendum to finance Parks and a City Hall facility Because of the time required to prepare a community to be receptive to such a financing package, we would like to actively pursue the bond referendum process as soon as possible.
