PARKS & RECREATION BOARD MEETING MINUTES September 28, 1993 CALL TO ORDER Meeting called to order at 7 : 35 p.m. ROLL CALL Present: Kreidler, Labine, Magers, Messerly, McClung Also Present: Cindy Severtson, Parks & Recreation Director Terry Post, City Accountant APPROVAL OF MINUTES Minutes of the May 25, 1993 meeting approved. PARK FUND STATUS UPDATE Terry Post, City Accountant, gave an update on the present Park Fund status. He gave possible spending scenarios realizing that dedication money is on the decline. Should the committee decide to only spend interest (approximately $20, 000) this would limit the amount of improvements to parks and trails. Future spending policies need to be established. 1993 PARK DEVELOPMENT UPDATE Severtson reviewed projects completed in 1993 . Spending will be approximately $43 , 025. This is the last year that any park maintenance salaries will be taken from this account. Projects and expenses are listed on the handout. TRAIL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Severtson informed the members that the trail south of Arden View Drive is currently located partially on townhouse property. The City has an easement that we are not using of 20 ft. in back of house #1479 and #1470 and an easement of 40 ft. in back of #1980. Messerly motioned, seconded by Kreidler, to make this trail a priority. Motion carried. Severtson will meet with John McClung to discuss obtaining an access when he develops the property needed to continue this trail. As the trail is developed, residents with adjoining property will be notified that the trail will be moved up to the easement area. Severtson asked for volunteers to form a task force to help develop a comprehensive trail plan for the City. Such a plan is necessary in applying for most grants. It is not necessary that all trails • be proposed to be paved. Magers, Kreidler, McClung showed an interest. Severtson will contact those volunteers about developing a plan as time allows, beginning of 1994 .
