The City submitted a DNR Trailway Grant application for the segment on the south side in between Silver Lake Road and Long Lake Road (segments 9-10) on February 28, 2006. The City will know if we were successful or not with this grant application in June of this year. A Citywide Open House was held on March 9, 2006. A draft summary is included in the packet. A complete summary will be presented to the City Council on March 27th. A draft Capital Improvement Program (CIP) has been developed for this program. It shows: Segments 9-10, Long Lake Road to Silver Lake Road on the south side being constructed in 2006 Segments 1-5, County Road H to Silver Lake Road on the north side being constructed in 2008 Segment 6, Silver Lake Road to Pleasant View Drive on the north side being constructed in 2009 Segments 7-8, Pleasant View Drive to Silver Lake Road on the south side being constructed in 2010 Segment 11, Edgewood Drive to Woodale Drive on the south side being constructed in 2011(this segment will most likely be more dependent on re-development rather than a set time frame) The Draft CIP will be presented to the City Council on April 3, 2006. Any comments and suggestions from the Commission are welcomed. Also, as concept plans for segment 9-10 on the south side in between Silver Lake Road and Long Lake Road develop, staff will bring these to the Commission for review and comment.

Facility Guide Update – review current draft City Property East of Sysco – City Council reviewed this letter report pertaining to the feasibility of developing this site on March 6, 2006. Since funding for this project is dependent on a substantial contribution from Medtronic, this project will not proceeded without this contribution.

Exact date has yet to be determined. No action is expected at this time. 6. New Business: Silver View Soccer Field Maintenance.
