CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: October 18, 1995 TO: Parks & Recreation Committee FROM: Cindy S. Walsh, Parks & Recreation Director SUBJECT: October Parks & Recreation Committee Trail Walk We will meet as a group at City Hall and car pool to Briarknoll Drive. With $40,000 that is budgeted, it may be possible to get the asphalt trail in as far north as McClung's 4th addition. Greg Stonehouse, the City Engineer and I walked the trail last week. The terrain of this first segment will be difficult. Extensive grading, clearing and grubbing of trees and one or two bridges will be needed in this area. After the walk, we will discuss the difficult areas, possible solutions, estimated costs and set timelines to meet with the residents. I have included a copy of some initial trail easements. Master Plan for Gateway Gardens One of the Committee's goals was to develop a master plan for expanding one of the City's gateway garden areas each year. Due to construction this summer, the Committee decided not to make any permanent improvements in 1995. The Committee should consider which sites to upgrade and then set a master plan. Review Five Year Plan Expenditures This was also one of the Committees goals for 1995. I will bring a copy with essential upgrades. The Committee can discuss other projects and funding timelines. It is necessary to begin scheduling the replacement of the playground structures at the parks. I have enclosed a copy of the playground structures that exist in our parks and the age of each. Council Worksession December 21 The Mayor and the City Council are meeting with each Committee to review their 1995 goals and set 1996 goals. They are requesting two or three members from each Committee to be present. I will let the Committee know when their designated times is to meet with Council. I hope to see you all at 4:30 p.m. on October 24. We will try to finish by 6:30 or 7:00 p.m. CSW\jt •
