Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee – July 15, 2025 Page 8 <br /> <br />the end of the Year. She wants to create a program that allows for residents/businesses to <br />participate for a long-term commitment, or on a short-term, single event basis. <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Manager Skalicky said the Penney Carnival will be Friday. The Ice <br />Cream Social is coming up. The Community Picnic will be on August 14th. <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Manager Skalicky said the pickleball nets that were purchased for <br />Floral Park will be returned because they were too heavy and were melting the courts in the hot <br />weather. We had ordered a certain net and the vendor sent us something different. When we <br />reached out to let them know we received the wrong ones, they said the other type were not <br />available anymore. <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Manager Skalicky said the committee got an in depth update on the <br />Parks System Plan earlier. She said we will be sending the postcards out. This isn’t a part of the <br />contract with Bolten and Menk. This is an additional step the City is taking to try to get more <br />responses to the survey. <br /> <br />Council Liaison Rousseau asked if they will be included in the Night-2-Unite packets. <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Manager Skalicky said she hadn’t planned on including them, but she <br />can look into it. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson asked if we were only allowing Arden Hills residents to complete <br />the survey. <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Manager Skalicky said no. Anyone in our surrounding communities are <br />welcome to complete the survey. The postcards will only be mailed to Arden Hills Residents, <br />though. So, if Committee Members wanted to share with people outside of Arden Hills they can <br />take some postcards with them tonight. <br /> <br />4. UNFINISHED BUSINESS <br /> <br />A. Trail and Parks Projects Update <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Manager Skalicky updated that the first seven bullets on the list are <br />previously discussed items and there are no updates that haven’t already been shared. <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Manager Skalicky presented the new and updated items. The County <br />Road E trail connection will run from the Elmer Anderson Trail to Lake Johanna. It is being <br />postponed, but is still expected to happen. The County is proposing that connection be combined <br />with the Lake Johanna trail in 2028. That is a Ramsey County decision. <br /> <br />Committee Member Olson wanted confirmation that the Lake Johanna trail will happen, and this <br />connection is just being added to the scope of work on that project. <br /> <br />Parks and Recreation Manager Skalicky said as of right now, Ramsey County is saying that <br />will happen in 2028. <br />
