Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee – February 18, 2025 Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />Chair Dietz understands from Ann Hall that she is not getting the full support of the City. The <br />event may be put off until next year. She reported that she was told the function of the City is not <br />to subsidize an event like this. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson said if the City doesn’t have to fund anything, they aren’t going to <br />say no to the event. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said he can clarify if this is moving forward on the City’s side <br />and determine if it makes sense for her to attend a PTRC meeting to discuss it. <br /> <br />Committee Member Rogers said it is helpful when PTRC knows exactly what someone is <br />looking for. The committee can offer support in other ways. <br /> <br />Chair Dietz said she is asking that the City subsidize the event next year. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson said she would prefer to hold off on inviting her to speak until after <br />the event this year. The event organizers can discuss what worked, what didn’t and may have a <br />better idea of what is needed to have a City event the following year. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson will clarify if it is happening, for sure. <br /> <br />4. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Trail and Parks Projects Update <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said there is a lot of information contained in the update. A lot <br />of it has been on the list over the last year or so. He pointed out the newer items at the bottom of <br />the list. He asked if anyone had any questions. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson thinks she remembers voting on the color of a shelter roof previously. <br />She wondered if that would come through the PTRC again. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said he thinks the one on the list will be the same color for <br />cohesion. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson asked about the Hamline Avenue Trail connection with <br />Roseville/Lake Josephine. She said it states an Open House event is expected to be held in <br />March/April. She wondered if a date has been selected. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson did not have a date yet. <br /> <br />Committee Member Jacobson asked about the Trunk Highway 51 Trail improvements. She said <br />it’s nice to see there is an entry and anticipated construction in 2026. She asked if there were any <br />more details. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said these are very early. It hasn’t been 100% approved. <br /> <br />Committee Member Jacobson asked if this one is already funded.
