13 <br /> <br />COUNTY ROAD H TRAILWAY – Edgewood Drive to Old Highway 8 <br />Reimbursement status. <br />This project was completed in the fall of 2002. The agreement with the County <br />was that the City was responsible for the initial installation of the trailway <br />including engineering, construction, and administration costs. Upon completion of <br />the project the City was to notify the County of the final construction costs. The <br />County would then request regional parks funds from the Metropolitan Council in <br />an amount sufficient to reimburse the City. <br /> <br />An invoice in the amount of $49,585.94 was submitted to the County. The City <br />has since received a letter from the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation <br />Department Director stating that the County has requested to be reimbursed for <br />this project. However, due to the failure of the states bonding bill in 2004, funds <br />are currently not available. The County will request reimbursement for the project <br />again in the 2006 –07 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Because it was in the <br />2004-05 CIP, it will receive priority ranking for the upcoming biennium. <br /> <br /> <br />TRAFFIC COUNTS <br />Every other year the City of Mounds View is required by the Minnesota <br />Department of Transportation to conduct Traffic Counts at specified locations. In <br />2003 the City conducted traffic counts at a total of forty-eight (48) locations <br />throughout the City. Thirty-six (36) locations were required by Mn/DOT. Twelve <br />other locations were selected to obtain traffic data related to specific City projects <br />or issues. Public Works will be conducting traffic counts in 2005 at the same <br />number of locations as in 2003. <br /> <br /> <br />PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION UPDATE <br />Issues and Activities the Parks and Recreation Commission has been or is <br />working on: <br /> Facility Guide Update <br /> Greenfield Park Playground Equipment Replacement Project <br /> Groveland Park Building Replacement <br /> Park Usage Survey <br /> <br /> <br />LAKESIDE LIONS PARK – FISHING PIER <br />The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has a program entitled, “Fishing in <br />the Neighborhood” (FIN).
