APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br />A.April 19, 2022 PTRC Minutes <br />Committee Member Kelliher felt the minutes were more like a transcript and thought future <br />minutes could be condensed. <br /> The Committee approved the minutes. <br />3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br />A.Trail Projects Update <br />Assistant Public Works Director Miller said there will be concrete and paving work done over <br />the next week on Snelling Avenue south of County Road E. Lexington Avenue is one lane <br />southbound and closed northbound with a detour, they had utility conflicts and are working on the <br />east half of the road. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen added that there is a feasibility study <br />happening along Old Highway 10 from Lake Valentine Road to Highway 96. Soil borings have <br />been done and a report should be coming in a couple of weeks. Once the feasibility study is done <br />they can work on getting grants for funding the trail. Also, the senior living complex on Park <br />Shore Drive is moving along. <br />Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said the city received $450,000 for Safe <br />Routes to School out of the needed $850,000. They are waiting on response from the bond request. <br />4. NEW BUSINESS <br />A.PTRC Summer Meetings <br />Chair Hinton reminded the Committee that meetings are to end at 8:00 p.m. and items left on the <br />agenda at that time will be moved to the next meeting’s agenda. In the past, the committee has <br />taken a bus to do park tours, she had done this in her own vehicle. Staff sent a list of trails that <br />were toured in 2016. If they look at trails in June it might be hard to do without a bus, or they <br />could do something similar to last year where they all drove around to different parks. <br />Council Liaison Scott said he wouldn’t anticipate getting a bus this year due to COVID. <br />Committee Member Dietz said last year they started off with a lot of people but lost some at each <br />stop. He felt they couldn’t do many parks this year. <br />Committee Member Beggin felt three parks would have been reasonable last year. <br />Chair Hinton asked if they’d like to discuss which three parks they’d like to go to or do an email <br />survey.
