CIP. The Fire Chief s recommendations have resulted in the planned replacement of the <br />1991 pumper/tanker truck with a ladder truck. Staff anticipates taking delivery of the new truck <br />before the end of February. Other equipment needs will be evaluated by the Department. <br />Continue Leadership Development Program, and Leadership Succession Plan. This <br />program has been created by the Fire Chief and allows educational and training opportunities for <br />HFD staff. We are aware of the Chiefs desire to retire, once he completes 20 years of service <br />(near the end of 2020). Staff would like to ensure for a smooth transition in this key leadership <br />role. <br />Continue Grant Application System. The Fire Department has increased their <br />participation in grant programs recently. It is a time intensive process to write grant applications, <br />but it has had recent success. In 2018, The Department received grant dollars for replacement of <br />the SCBA bottles. When successful, grants for the fire services can be substantial. HFD staff <br />expects to continue a focus in this area in 2019. <br />Parks: <br />Recreation programs. The city is continuing to strengthen partnerships regarding <br />programming for our residents. The staff is continuing work to add new programming for 2019 <br />in collaboration with the Forest Lake YMCA. A task force created by the White Bear School <br />District to assess the needs of seniors was finished in 2017 and is now being implemented. Some <br />of the larger events created by city staff are now being run by some degree through our <br />partnerships, which creates an ability for staff to consider additional programming opportunities. <br />Trails. The Parks Commission focused last year on creating a master plan for trail <br />connections within Clearwater Creek Preserve. We expect to work with Washington County on <br />planning for a southerly extension of the Hardwood Creek Trail. Many important trail <br />connections are being addressed through our partnerships with the development community. <br />Water Access. The Parks Plan encourages a focus on improving access to the City's <br />water amenities. Land is being dedicated along Sunset Lake this year, providing an additional <br />public access possibility. <br />Irish Avenue Park. The Parks Commission has added to goal to evaluate vegetative <br />management within Irish Ave Park. Ultimately, a timeline, vision, and plan for Irish Ave Park <br />will be created. <br />Lions Park. The Parks Commission desires to implement the Lions Park master plan <br />according to a phased schedule that could begin in 2020. The Commission still needs to identify <br />revenue sources and next steps for redevelopment of this park. <br />Clearwater Creek Preserve. The Parks Commission approved a master plan for this <br />park in 2018, including millions of dollars of improvements. <br />Long-term Parks Funding. While not specifically on the Parks Commission's list of <br />goals, it is obvious that funding for improvements to the community parks listed above will not <br />likely occur without a new funding source. Council may wish to discuss possible funding <br />solutions in 2019. <br />
