Parks,Trails&Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes March 20,2012 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Ms. Olson indicated she felt everyone did a good job of presenting at the joint work session <br /> and asked if they had any comments on how the meeting went. She stated that the committee <br /> did get some direction from Council and that she has added Valentine Park Improvement <br /> Review to the list of projects they will be working on. <br /> B. Trail Signage <br /> Ms. Olson informed the committee that she will be meeting with Vacker Sign Company,who <br /> did the park signs, to review the design ideas for maintenance and durability. She also <br /> indicated they had discussed having the Boy Scouts install the signs; however, Public Works <br /> Director Maurer was in favor of having Public Works install the signs. Committee Member <br /> Peck questioned how they would go about deciding on placement of the signs and indicated he <br /> marked his choices on a map. Ms. Olson stated this would be the committee's decision. <br /> Committee Member Peck suggested the members bring their ideas on sign placement to the <br /> next meeting. Discussion ensued on ranking the signs by priority in order to get the important <br /> ones placed first. Ms. Olson stated she would bring a large map to the next meeting which the <br /> committee could use to show placement and would also report back on the findings from the <br /> sign company. Council Liaison Holden asked whether they planned on going with the single <br /> or double post signs. Committee Member Peck indicated the Committee had decided on the <br /> single post as opposed to the double post since it was more subtle. <br /> C. Newsletter Article Assignments <br /> Ms. Olson stated she felt the committee did a wonderful job putting together the articles in the <br /> past 6 months. She informed that she will be routing a sign-up sheet for the next six <br /> assignments/months and that the next article is due on April 6. She indicated the article could <br /> be sent to her and she would then forward it on. <br /> D. Other Unfinished Business <br /> Committee Member O'Malley indicated she had noted somewhere in the minutes of a previous <br /> meeting that Ms. Olson had called the Karth Lake Improvement District Board and was <br /> wondering what this was about. Ms. Olson indicated the after the committee suggested <br /> possibly adding a fishing dock off of Karth Lake, she contacted the president of the board to <br /> see how the other Karth Lake Association members felt about the idea. The president checked <br /> with the members and indicated there was a 50150 split on having a fishing dock since the lake <br /> tends to get fished out. Ms. Olson stated she will report back on this item after the board <br /> revisits the topic at their April meeting. Committee Member Peck asked whether the <br /> Improvement District included everyone in the neighborhood. Committee Liaison Holden <br /> replied that the Improvement District represented residents owning property on the lake but <br /> does not include all residents. <br /> 4. NEW BUSINESS <br /> A. Comprehensive Plan Discussion <br /> Ms. Olson reiterated that at the February Joint Work Session, Council brought up the Open <br /> Space Plan that was approved in 2002. She indicated that in 2009 the PTRC worked on <br /> updating the plan within Chapter 9 of the Comprehensive Plan and that she has provided them <br /> with copies of this plan which includes the trail segments. Ms. Olson stated the committee <br />
