There was good <br />discussion on all topics on the agenda. The City Council reviewedthe proposed 2014 <br />committee goalsand work plan with a fewchanges (Attachment A): <br />Under Ongoing and As Needed Goals: Add language to #4: Continue to work <br />with Ramsey County AND SURROUNDING CITIES/ORGANIZATIONSon <br />mutually beneficial trail/park projects and activities. <br />For the 2014 proposed work plan, the Council consensus was to monitor the use <br />of Lindey’s Park in 2014 before bringing a proposal for prairie restoration of the <br />open space. There are concerns about that area being active and losing an open <br />green space.Staff removed the Prairie Restoration Proposal from the work plan <br />priorities. Lindey’s Park usage analysis fits under the park improvement analysis. <br />For the 2014 proposed work plan, although it is mentioned in ongoing and as <br />needed goals, the Council asked for TCAAP Park Development Review to be <br />included. Staff added this priority. <br />Staff has included a draft schedule for the work plan that the committee can revise and edit at <br />Tuesday night’s meeting (Attachment B). <br />
