LONG RANGE BUDGET AND SPENDING PLAN DISCUSSION <br /> At this time the top four park improvement priorities are: <br /> l. To improve the condition of Arden Manor (further discussion will provide more <br /> details about what amenities to improve). <br /> 2. Examine the possibility of constructing an additional soccer field at one of the <br /> parks--Ingerson seems to be the most likely location. <br /> 3. There has been a request from the residents who live in the Benton Way <br /> neighborhood to place a play structure in Crepeau Park. There is a possibility that <br /> there is room to place a structure on the edge of the park. <br /> 4. Improvements to Freeway and Lindeys Parks. The resident meeting will provide <br /> more direction on the desires of the residents around the park. <br /> The Commission also identified the top 5 trail segments to be improved: <br /> 1. County Road F (Hamline to Lexington) <br /> 2. New Brighton Road <br /> 3. Old Highway 10 <br /> 4. County Road E2 <br /> 5. Cleveland <br /> Discussion followed that these are County roads. It is essential that we work with the • <br /> County on when they intend to improve these roads. It makes the more sense to do trail <br /> construction at the same time that the streets is reconstructed. Some of the streets are in <br /> good condition and may not be reconstructed in the near future. We should plan trail <br /> construction accordingly. <br /> The Commission plans to spend the November meeting further prioritizing these projects. <br /> The October meeting will be spent discussing the Tony Schmidt Park Redevelopment and <br /> meeting with the residents around Freeway and Lindeys Parks. <br /> TONY SCHMIDT PARK TASK FORCE SELECTION <br /> The Commission representatives will be Jim Johnson and Gregg Larson from the <br /> Planning Commission. Mr. Larson will come to the Parks and Recreation meetings when <br /> appropriate to update the Parks and Recreation Commission. The Commission will <br /> discuss the concerns for the park at their October meeting so that Jim and Gregg can <br /> bring this information to the Task Force meeting. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> The meeting was adjourned at 8:45 p.m. <br /> • <br />
