A roll call vote was taken: <br /> Ayes: Roger Clarke, Emily McGinnity, Cathy Moore-Arcand, Nicole Schmid, Meredith St. Pierre, Ranell <br /> Tennyson. <br /> Nay: Mat Rauschendorfer <br /> Motion carried. <br /> Shayla Denaway, Parks Planner updated on repairs that were needed to the trail on Freedom Drives. <br /> The trail connects Oneka Parkway to 1571h Street and is located on City owned property and adjacent to <br /> a private drive. It has a history of patching and repairs with continual root pops emerging near the <br /> ponds and wooded area as well as cracking due to settling. Multiple complaints from residents and the <br /> Home Owners Association were received asking for repairs. <br /> If reconstruction for Freedom Drive trail is done at the same time as Oneka Parkway street project there <br /> could be a cost savings of up to $40,000. The Capital Improvement Plan has $77,000 for trail <br /> improvements that could be used towards this project and the remaining $23,000 could come from the <br /> street fund, based on the City Engineer's cost estimate. <br /> Schmid asked why this long term repair maintenance issue wasn't discussed before replacement needs. <br /> Scott Anderson, Public Works Director, informed that Freedom Drive trail has been continually repaired <br /> and always on the long term improvement watch list. The opportunity to combine project and funding <br /> with Oneka Parkway street project brings the possible improvement to the forefront. <br /> Tennyson made a motion, Moore—Arcand seconded to use $77,000 from the Special Park Fund for <br /> reconstruction of the Freedom Drive trail. <br /> All ayes. Motion carried. <br /> Matt Rauschendorfer requested staff to provide a yearly report to all Park Commission members to <br /> show how park funding is spent. <br /> Clarke recommended future discussion on reconstruction and maintenance of trails. <br /> J <br /> Public Works: 90%of operations are moved in and the offices will be complete this week. Vegetation <br /> and landscape work are out for bids and a few exterior aesthetics are getting close to completion. <br /> Lions Park: The exterior is in nearing completion and interior wiring is in process. The lighting, fencing <br /> and concrete in the park is in progress and will mostly be completed in May. <br /> Page 4 of 5 <br /> Parks Commission Minutes <br /> April 20, 2022 <br />
