the benches will be provided at no cost. Mr. Yonke displayed several aerial maps <br /> illustrating key locations where benches could be installed in the parks and along <br /> regional trails taking into consideration existing bench locations. Ramsey County Parks <br /> and Recreation staff considered standards of where to position the benches in relation <br /> to the others, about every 1,000 feet up to % mile apart in some places depending on <br /> the trail. <br /> Mr. Straumann moved, seconded by Mr. Tempas, to recommend approval on the <br /> proposed bench locations within Ramsey County Parks and Regional Trails. Motion <br /> carried. <br /> DIRECTOR'S REPORT <br /> Mr. Mack reported: <br /> • The Governor's recommendation for General Fund appropriations for operations <br /> and maintenance for regional parks is a 40% reduction. There will be a hearing <br /> on March 10 before the House to introduce a bill that will seek a comparable <br /> reduction to the state for regional parks at 5%. If the 40% reduction was put into <br /> place, it would impact beaches with lifeguards, the ability to maintain winter trail <br /> access (plowing) and the ability to maintain natural resources. <br /> • Legacy funding was approved by Minnesota voters in 2008. The first years of <br /> • appropriations from that fund were 2009-2010. The Governor has proposed <br /> distributing the Parks and Trails Funds in the following proportions: 42% State <br /> parks, 42% metropolitan regional parks and 15% statewide grants for regional <br /> parks. Counties in greater Minnesota are requesting a larger share of the <br /> appropriation. The Legacy plan that relates to parks and trails proposed by the <br /> DNR supports the Governor's appropriation. <br /> REPORT FOR CHAIR AND OTHER COMMISSION MEMBERS <br /> Rich Straumann reported that he has volunteered for the legacy brick program group at <br /> Tamarack Nature Center. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> Upon appropriate motion, the meeting was adjourned. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Victoria Dahlquist <br /> 3 <br />
