Councilman Stauffer indicated she felt a pedestrian path less sophisti- cated than a chip path could be developed for the use of walkers and joggers and that a step by step plan for enhancing the area rather than destroying it could be worked out with the residents, with the City providing good maintenance and possible using natural materials to de- lineate the pathway from private property. Councilman Haik agreed that she primarily wanted a method which would make it possible to circulate around the lake. She felt plans should be studied for providing for the stability of the pathway, the establishment of areas for parking cars and a structural method of discouraging use of the path by motorcycles and other smaller loud vehicles. They both agreed that there has been a demand for more park area in the City and this is the first instance of funds (CETA for labor costs) being available for developing a natural resource which "we don't have anywhere else in the City. Motion by Councilman Sauer and seconded by Mayor Miedtke not to extend the chip pathway around the holding pond known as Mirror Lake. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Councilman Haik and seconded by Councilman Sauer to request the City Manager to prepare more specific plans for a walkway, plantings and signing on the City' s property around Mirror Lake. Motion carried unanimously. • Following a discussion with the Manager of how extensive these plans were to be, Mr. Dulgar said he would try to have some preliminary recommenda- tions for Council consideration during the first meeting in May. The meeting was recessed from 9 : 00 to 9 :17 P.M. , and reconvened to discuss the MTC 's proposal to construct a bus shelter on the west side of Silver Lake Road near the Silver Lane intersection. Councilman Haik said she was delighted that her request for such a shelter had been granted at this particular spot where she felt the facility was sorely needed. Motion by Councilman Sauer and seconded by Councilman Stauffer to approve the maintenance agreement with Ramsey County whereby the City will be reimbursed for sweeping Silver Lane. Motion carried unanimously. Motion by Councilman Sauer and seconded by Councilman Haik to nominate Councilman Stauffer to serve as either an officer or member of the Board of the League of Minnesota Cities .
