Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee – May 20, 2025 Page 3 <br /> <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson said if a business comes to PTRC and says they heard about the Park <br />Passport program and want to donate a prize, could we take it? <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson confirmed. <br /> <br />Committee Member Rogers said we can’t partner with EDC. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said once the sponsorship policy is in place, PTRC and EDC can <br />partner with each other. It’s a better for the businesses because they get something in return. <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Manager Skalicky said the City Attorney needs to approve the language. <br />Most of the policies she found at other cities were short and didn’t have much to them. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said Council Liaison Rousseau said Council approved the <br />Committee and Commission Code of Conduct. He asked the Committee Members to read through <br />it and sign. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said there haven’t been any applications for the Youth <br />Committee Member. He encouraged the Committee Members to spread the word to any youths <br />that may be interested. <br /> <br />Committee Member Jacobson asked how old they have to be. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said he believes it is 16, but he will double check, it may be 14. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson asked what the time commitment was. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said it typically runs the length of a school year. <br /> <br />Committee Member Rogers asked who will reach out to the Arden Hills Foundation. <br /> <br />Recreation Supervisor Johnson said he will reach out to them to make the request. <br /> <br />4. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Trail and Parks Projects Update <br /> <br /> Committee Member Olson has been getting questions on the Lake Johanna Boulevard trail. Who <br />is keeping tabs on if we will be awarded the money for it? Is there anything else that the PTRC <br />should be doing to encourage them to pick us? <br /> <br />Committee Member Jacobson said it would be nice to say how much money is needed. She heard <br />that Highway 10 got funding. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson was trying to find a contact at Ramsey County regarding the MN 51 <br />trail improvements. There has been a lot of discussion about that trail. <br />
