Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes March 16, 2021 Page 4 Council Liaison Grant suggested the list that was emailed get renumbered as priorities one through eight. He also said they could submit a list of suggestion of where they’d like to see trees planted. Committee Member Straumann continued with possible trail development enhancements, which included the Crepeau Nature Preserve trail and Lake Johanna Boulevard from County Road E along the west side of Highway 51 to Glenhill Avenue. Committee Member Finlay requested a map be made of the trails. Committee Member Straumann said he’d like to propose buckthorn removal continue in Crepeau Nature Preserve, led by resident Sheldon Bruce. There are some benches that need maintenance, along trail and bridge improvements. He would like to see a clean-up day with Committee members and others, possibly in April or May. Council Liaison Grant mentioned a bench that he knows needs cleaning and possible relocation, and the Arden Hills Foundation could be approached about a bench. They recently funded four additional benches that will be placed in the spring. After discussion, it was decided that Chair Van Valkenburg would renumber the priority list and send to Committee Members for approval before it was presented to the City Council. It was also agreed the Committee Members will possibly join in a clean-up day in Crepeau Nature Preserve. 5. REPORTS Council Liaison Grant said the priority list will be helpful for the City Council and he looks forward to their final draft.
