ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION FEBRUARY 18, 20145 <br /> <br />The Council indicated support for the recommendations. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Maurer <br /> thanked the Council for their input and support. <br /> <br /> <br />D.Parks, Trails and Recreation Committee <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Manager Olson <br />explained that this meeting serves as the annual <br />PTRC/Council joint work session. She commented that this meeting would allow both groups to <br />discuss goals and expectations for the coming year. She stated that the PTRC members had a <br />presentation for the Council. <br /> <br />Chuck Michaelson, , <br />PTRC Member indicated that the PTRC believes <br />natural resources, and recreation areas are valuable assets that make the City of Arden Hills a <br />more desirable place to live and work. These assets improve property values as well as enhance <br />the health and well-being of its residents and visitors. He stated that the PTRC represents the <br />interests of Arden Hills residents in maintaining, improving, and developing these resources. <br /> <br />Matthew Trites, , <br />PTRC Memberdiscussed several suggested actions that would advance the <br />vision for parks, trails and recreation in the City. He requested comment from the Council on <br />ongoing issues or goals that were missing from the PTRC at this time. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br /> suggested that the PTRC consider speaking with neighboring <br />communities regarding proper trail connections. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung <br />agreed as he wanted connections from the City to be made between <br />the County, along with the cities of Shoreview, Roseville, New Brighton and Mounds View. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant <br />requested further information on the proposed Americans with Disabilities Act <br />(ADA) park upgrades. <br /> <br />Mr. Trites <br /> explained that the PTRC will be working with staff to prioritize upcoming park and <br />trail improvement developments, including the Freeway Park enhancements. The PTRC will look <br />at upgrades for amenities, such as trash barrels, bike racks, picnic tables and benches. The ADA <br />parking lot enhancements will also be reviewed. <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Manager Olson <br /> added that the PTRC has concern that most of the City <br />parks do not have ADA compliance from the parking lot or trail to the different amenities. One of <br />the ways to address this concern would be to bring these parks into compliance when play <br />structures are replaced. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden <br />asked if the tennis courts would be repaired. <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Manager Olson <br /> commented that the City has three tennis courts in need <br />of reconstruction. She stated that resurfacing the courts will not repair the cracks. The PTRC will <br />be speaking with residents surrounding the parks to see if the tennis courts are being used or not. <br /> <br />
