Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes September 20, 2022 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br /> <br />and available on the Ramsey County website, tentatively scheduled for construction in 2027. Pickle <br />ball striping will be installed at Hazelnut and Freeway parks this week. <br /> <br />Committee Member Kelliher asked why the trail fogging was done right after school started. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Miller said it was tied to some large area street patching <br />projects, and due to weather and scheduling conflicts it unfortunately coincided with the first week <br />of school. <br /> <br />Further discussion ensued regarding funding for the future Lake Johanna Boulevard Trail. <br /> <br />B. PTRC Item Update <br /> <br />Council Liaison Scott said he had not yet taken any of the items to the Council for discussion. <br /> <br />Chair Hinton asked if the Council liaison could bring the survey, volunteer recognition/vests and <br />trail name contest ideas to the other councilmembers. <br /> <br />Further discussion involved ways to recognize volunteers. <br /> <br />C. Tree Locations at Perry Park Dog Park <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Miller said the earliest trees will be planted will be the end of <br />October. <br /> <br />Committee Member Kelliher felt the trees weren’t necessary when there is a shelter planned. <br /> <br />Chair Hinton said the trees make it look nicer. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Miller noted the trees were $700 plus additional costs, for about <br />$1,000 each. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Scott stated the money in the Tree Fund has to be used for trees. <br /> <br />Assistant Public Works Director Miller said if there are other spots that they feel would like to <br />see trees to let staff know, but these are being planted based on previous feedback from PTRC. <br /> <br />Staff Liaison Vaughan said the number one comment that he has heard at Bark and Rec Day is <br />that there is no shade for dogs or humans. <br /> <br />Committee Member Dietz felt it the trees were good for aesthetics, that instead of feeling like an <br />old baseball field they would help make it feel like a park. <br /> <br />Chair Hinton thought the layout staff showed was good. <br /> <br />Committee Member Anderson agreed. <br /> <br />
