ARDEN HILLS PARKS, TRAILS & RECREATION COMMITTEE 5 for this project adding that buck thorn is easiest to remove during the fall. Committee Member Zilmer asked if Don Messerly was aware that he was made a volunteer. Council Liaison Larson stated that it is a good thing that Mr. Messerly is involved noting that he has a great deal of knowledge that will be quite helpful to the project. TRAIL TEAM SCHEDULES Mr. Moore reported that this is not ready and will be presented at the next meeting. NEXT MEETING AGENDA • Trail Team Schedules • Comp Plan Update • Buck Horn Update OTHER ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION Committee Member Michaels asked about the trails and the problems with County roads. She asked for clarification on the ownership and who would do the work if they provide the funding. Mr. Moore stated that representatives from Ramsey County came in to discuss the streets, the joint maintenance facility by TCAAP, Lake Johanna Boulevard, Old Highway 10, and New Brighton Road. He stated that they may turn it back to the City adding that they would fix the roads to a 90-classification before it is turned back to the City. He stated that they did discuss possible addition of trails and bike lanes. He stated that they told him it was open for negotiation and discussion. Council Liaison Larson clarified the 90-classification to the Committee. He reviewed an area by the school that will be overlaid and stated that they had requested full restructuring of the road. He explained that the County was not at all interested in the improvements and that he had been told they had it on the schedule, that it had been removed and that it could be years before it is added again. He stated that if Arden Hills wants a trail along that area that they would have to install it themselves. He stated that they would agree to upgrade the road to the 90-classification, but nothing further. Committee Member Michaels asked if they were to provide the funding how would the County handle it. She suggested approaching some of the larger companies in the area to determine any interest in possible contributions. Mr. Moore stated that this is a wonderful concept adding that he is not sure if it has been go done yet.
