• June 11th, 10:00 am — Grand Opening Ceremony. A week -long celebration kick <br />off begins. Nine days of special events. <br />REVIEW OF WAYFINDING SIGNAGE /LOOK AND FEEL <br />Ms. Yungers reported that she and Mr. Yonke have been working with a consultant to <br />create a draft wayfinding plan for the parks system. The plan consists of three tiers. <br />The first tier are kiosks at primary entrances and would include a map, park rules, key <br />features and a "you are here" indicator, the second tier are orientation signs and the <br />third tier are trail posts with a map and directional symbols (for example, restrooms or <br />beaches) with arrows. <br />The Parks Commission reviewed the plan and Mr. Shirley commented that perhaps <br />orientation signs are not necessary. Kiosks at major parking lots and trail posts <br />throughout the park should be sufficient. There was general agreement with Mr. <br />Shirley's suggestion among the Parks Commission members. <br />DIRECTOR'S REPORT <br />Mr. Mack reported: <br />• There was a bill in the house that would have cancelled all capital bond projects <br />that were not committed. Ramsey County Parks and Recreation projects in the <br />last bonding bill include the Keller Regional Park picnic shelters, Battle Creek <br />Regional Park shelter and construction of a trail connection near Grass Lake <br />from Gramsie Road to County Road F. All will be committed before July 1, 2011. <br />• Appropriation of legacy funding. The state and Metro Regional Parks each <br />received 43% of the appropriation in the last biennium. The Governor has <br />proposed 42% for Metropolitan Regional Parks, 42% for State Parks and 16% for <br />a statewide regional park grant program. Ramsey County supports the <br />Governor's recommendation. There is a strong push by rural Minnesota to get a <br />larger share of the appropriation. <br />• Operations /maintenance for regional parks. The Governor proposed a 40% <br />reduction in the General Fund appropriation. The House proposed a 2% <br />reduction and the Senate proposed a 15% reduction. These reductions will <br />negatively impact regional park and trail services. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Upon appropriate motion, the meeting was adjourned. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Victoria Dahlquist <br />3 <br />
