Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes Oct. 18, 2016 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Sampson Park <br /> <br />Staff Liaison Knoll stated that she had spoken with the owner of the property and he <br />would be OK with the obstacle course being built on City property, but he was <br />willing to donate his land. Our public works department would maintain the course <br />if it were built on City property. <br /> <br />Legal issues of the course being built on private property were cited by Chair <br />Straumann and Council Liaison Holmes. <br /> <br />Staff Liaison Knoll stated the homeowner would help build the structures whether <br />or not they were placed on his property and the City Public Works Department <br />would help in the construction. It was noted that it would probably be built this <br />fall/winter and be ready for installation in the spring. <br /> <br />B. Ramsey County-Wide Pedestrian and Bicycle Path <br /> <br />Committee Member Van Valkenburg reviewed the plan the county provided. He <br />stated that he thinks we do want to be a part of a resolution that would be approved <br />by the City Council. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Holmes said the City Council is working on the Comprehensive <br />Plan now and she thinks the best time to bring this forward would be when the <br />Committee and the Council have a joint meeting early next year or at a Council <br />meeting when the agenda allows. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Holmes also invited the Committee to the TCAAP open house to be <br />held on November 17. <br /> <br /> <br />4. NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Trail Tour Evaluations <br /> <br />Staff Liaison Aaron Thelen explained the evaluations included comments that were <br />written on the forms and thanked the Committee for their input. <br /> <br />B. Prioritizing Trail Concerns <br /> <br />Chair Straumann mentioned the signage for the dog park is a concern and needs to <br />be improved. <br /> <br />Committee Member Keri Bloyer suggested a picnic table or bench be installed at the <br />dog park.
