Mr. Locher also attended this meeting. The meeting had been called to discuss the two City's position on the proposal as submitted by Mr. Netercut of the M &tropolital Open Space Commission. A position paper had been prepared byuuLino Lakes and copies had been forwarded to members of the City of Hugo's City Council. Mr. McLean presented the general concept of the Chain of Lakes Park and the misuse of the land in that Park. He also pointed out the plans for day camping and overnight camping facilities planned for the Chain of Lakes Parks and questioned the duplication as proposed by Ramsey County in the area of Otter Lake. Mayor Karth reported on the discussion of the question of the legality of the use of the Hensel farm home by the Jonathan Home for Boys. There has not been an answer on this question as yet. Mr. Locher suggested the possibility of Mr. Hensel taking action against the County for condemning and taking his land by misrepresentation in that the lands were condemned for open space and are now being used for an entirely different purpose. Mayor LeValle, of Hugo, said they have no problem with land acquisition; he felt they could agree to the bike trail concept; will not consent to any land acquisition. The pros and cons of retaining ownershop of the bike trails was discussed. There was concern of the cost of construction and maintenance. A plus in the retention of owner- ship of the trails was the elimination of patrols in the area by Ramsey County. The general consensus of both Council was there could be an agreement on the bike trail proposal, providing this trail remians within the existing rught -of -way. Mr. McLean said this agreement should be emphasized as the end of any kind of acquisition with the boundaries of these two Cities. Each Council will formulate a Resolution for presentation to the Metropolitan Open Space Commission.
