In keeping with the "no net loss of parkland" provision of the Home Rule <br /> Charter, Ramsey County has identified an MCES property within the boundary of Battle Creek <br /> Regional Park for exchange. MCES has agreed to construct a building of the same style and <br /> materials as the adjacent park buildings to house all above-ground lift station components. A <br /> public hearing will be held on May 24 to receive comment on the proposed disposal of park <br /> property within Bald Eagle-Otter Lakes Regional Park. Mr. Jenni suggested that since there is <br /> no direct park benefit, the Commission should recommend against the easement exchange. <br /> Ms. Van Guilder moved, seconded by Ms. Pederson, that the Commission recommend <br /> approval of the easement exchange. Ayes: Hanson, Kusa, Pederson, Straumann and Van <br /> Guilder; Nays: Jenni. <br /> APPROVAL OF 2005 COMMISSION WORK PROGRAM <br /> Mr. Jenni suggested that the following item be added to the Special Projects section of the work <br /> program: "Continue discussion and monitor progress of the Comprehensive Capital Assets <br /> Management and Preservation Plan as it relates to parks and recreation." Mr. Kusa moved, <br /> seconded by Ms. Van Guilder, that the Commission approve the 2005 Work Program with <br /> the addition of: "Continue discussion and monitor progress of the Comprehensive <br /> Capital Assets Management and Preservation Plan as it relates to parks and recreation." <br /> Motion carried. <br /> OCOMMISSION MEETING TIME <br /> Commission members agreed to continue meeting on the second Tuesday of each month at <br /> 6:00 p.m. <br />
