• 1997 PAVE PORTIONS OF GREENFIELD PATH - This is a priority of the Parks and Recreation Commission, to pave Greenfield Park path doing as much as $ 12,500 will provide. THIS ENDS THE $ 12,500 ANNUAL PARK DEDICATION FEES 5 -YEAR GOALS • 1995 -1999 PARK PROPERTY - The two parcels of land in the south western part of the community would provide a parkland void that we currently have in that part of the City. The two parcels of land are appraised at $25,000 each. Development would need to be done. A grant is being submitted for matching the acquisition and development costs. The cost of acquisition and development would be estimated at $ 100,000. In addition, the Piedel property is available for purchase which is next to 'Groveland Park. The acquisition of this property would expand the parkland available at Groveland Park. TRAIL DEVELOPMENT - This will be an on-going capital item. Grants will be submitted • whenever available. However, matching monies must be provided. The Parks and Recreation Commission has prioritized Greenfield and City Hall and Silver View Parks for trailways. PLAY EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT - All the parks' playground equipment will need to be replaced at some time or other. Random and Groveland Park equipments are the oldest and most rundown. Other parks will follow as time goes on. PARK BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS - Lambert and Woodcrest Park buildings will need improvements in the future for extended use options and to comply with ADA. Two park buildings will be improved in 1994 with CDBG funding. REGIONAL SENIOR CENTER OPERATIONS - If the Regional Senior Center becomes a reality, the City of Mounds View's operating contribution will be approximately $90,000 annually. This would provide for a comprehensive program of services for Senior Citizens. INTERACTIVE SYSTEM - This is a communications system where the public can become a participant in Council meetings and other activities from home. It is a way to transfer informa- tion through Cable TV, computers and other communications means. The capabilities will only expand, and it is hoped that Mounds View will be able to be part of such a system with the acquisition of interactive system equipment. GOLF COURSE OPERATIONS - Initially, the golf course will have all new equipment and supplies. It is assumed that these will suffice for several years. However, there is certain to be some capital needs along the way. Such needs may be fencing along the second fairway, increased netting in the practice range, additional landscaping, paved cart paths, additional lighting, etc. Many of the items which were cut from the initial plans will hopefully be added as time goes on.
