Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes April 21, 2015 <br />Page 4 <br /> <br /> <br />4. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Bark Park – Dog Park Equipment <br /> <br />Dog Park Equipment is something new and exciting to add to the Arden Hills dog park. <br />Council Member Holden would like to make sure that the dog park is being utilized by <br />residents. We will be adding a question to the summer survey to see how many residents <br />use the dog park. Our Bark and Recreation Day will be held on Saturday, July 25th at the <br />Hazelnut Park Dog Park. Staff Liaison Grant mentioned that if we had an interested <br />Eagle Scout – maybe they would be interested. <br /> <br />Chair Stephens mentioned that we could use the tunnel from a park that would be getting <br />replaced for our dog park. Recycle some materials to make them dog friendly. <br /> <br />Staff Liaison Grant mentioned storing the equipment in one of the warming houses that is <br />not being used in the winter. <br /> <br />Recreation Programmer Aaron Thelen mentioned that the PTRC could get some <br />donations from the local pet stores around the area, and would be able to get their name <br />out there as well. <br /> <br />B. Park Tour <br /> <br /> Staff Liaison Grant thought it would be a good idea to invite local residents and new <br />residents to the Park Tour. We pay for a school bus to take us around to every park in <br />Arden Hills. What a great way for residents to see each park. We would like to put an <br />article in the newsletter. Staff Liaison Grant mentioned that she could send invites out to <br />new residents in our community. This would be an opportunity to get people involved <br />with the PTRC, and parks in general. <br /> <br /> <br />5. REPORTS <br /> <br />A. City Council Report <br /> <br />Council Member Holden apologized for missing the last couple of PTRC meetings. <br />Trinity Lutheran Church is going to have a community garden available for people to <br />use. Plots will be 10 ft by 10 ft if anyone is interested. The City Council is working very <br />hard on TCAAP – coming up with the final plans. Parks are located in the creek <br />neighborhood, two parks in the hill neighborhood, and a walkway park from County <br />Road H to the AHATS property. The PTRC may want to revisit what amenities we <br />would like. (ball fields, parks, indoor space, gym, etc…) The County Road E Bridge is <br />down and under construction. There will be a trail/sidewalk on each side of it. 35W to <br />Mounds View High School Trail will be going in next year. County Road F will be <br />getting a new sidewalk as well over 35W that will be happening this year. A lot of new <br />sidewalk improvements and trails will be added. The City Council will be contacting the <br />railroad to talk about New Brighton Road improvements.
