Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee – December 17, 2024 Page 3 <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau said she would like some focus on the Committee Charter. She didn’t <br />think anyone else echoed that desire, either. <br /> <br />Chair Anderson said that is explicitly laid out in the 2025 Goals. She thinks there is interest, as a <br />group. She thinks the items brought up at the Work Session were mostly already encompassed in <br />the Goals list. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson thanked Chair Anderson for bringing that discussion to Council and <br />she thanked Council Liaison Rousseau for her two years with the Committee. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau thanked the PTRC members for their volunteer service on the <br />Committee. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson appreciates the level of engagement by Councilmember Rousseau. <br />They haven’t had that in the past. <br /> <br />4. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Trail and Parks Projects Update <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said some members asked to see the conceptual design for <br />Highway 10. We are on pace for the updates for Arden Oaks and Freeway Parks. The only change <br />is the Hazelnut Parking. It was removed from the list but now it’s back on there. He doesn’t have <br />any new information about the ongoing negotiations. It is budgeted. Council agreed on an amount. <br />The City Attorney has updated the Volunteer Waivers. He said anyone who will be returning will <br />be asked to sign a new waiver. He thinks the biggest change is not allowing volunteers to use <br />chemicals. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said he was asked how the Park requirements are calculated. He <br />doesn’t have an answer yet. <br /> <br />Committee Member Loosbrock asked if the Hazelnut Parking Lot could be planned for a time, <br />other than August when the State Fair is happening. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said he hopes we won’t wait all summer. It will depend on the <br />scope of the project. If a lot of revisions need to be made, it will take longer. If they are just going <br />to patch it and add blacktop, it will be quick. The budget amount was cut. <br /> <br />Committee Member Loosbrock asked if the number of parking spots will be less. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson doesn’t know what the plan is yet. <br /> <br />Committee Member Jacobson asked for clarification if the budget is $100,000 and it was <br />originally $300,000. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said originally $315,000 was budgeted, based on meetings with <br />the consultants. Councilmembers thought that was too much. <br />
