A draft agreement for the County Road D realignment has been prepared between Ramsey County, City of Maplewood, Xcel Energy, Burlington Northern- Santa Fe Railroad, Minnesota Commercial Railroad and the Ramsey County Regional Railroad Authority. This agreement will be presented to the County Board for approval. PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMS AT TAMARACK NATURE CENTER Mr. Mack said the department is working on two partnership programs at Tamarack Nature Center: ' • White Bear Council for the Arts — Tamarack Nature Center has been the venue for several of their programs. Classrooms have been offered on a rental basis. Beginning this summer, joint day camp programs will be offered each Friday morning. • Early Childhood Family Education (ECFE) —Tamarack Nature Center (TNC) will be a nature-oriented site for the ECFE program offered by the White Bear Community Education (WBCE). Educational staff will be provided by WBCE. TNC will provide a naturalist and will be reimbursed from program fees. The ECFE program provides opportunities for families with children to learn various fundamental skills from activities. TNC will retrofit the old classroom into a designated pre-K nature classroom to accommodate the ECFE program and other preschool programs. WBCE has offered a $5,000 grant to help fund the retrofit cost. The balance of the project will be funded with regional park funds. Copies of Tamarack Nature Center's "Summer Camp Adventures"for 2005 were distributed. SYSTEM PLAN UPDATE Mr. Mack said the Ramsey County Home Rule Charter, which became effective November 6, 1992, requires that the county develop strategic plans for delivery of services in coordination with other units of government. The system plan is primarily a land-use plan for parks, trails and open space. The department's last system plan was approved by the County Board on June 18, 1996. The maps in the current plan do not include proposed land use, they simply reflect current conditions. A Request for Proposals for maps for the system plan update will be issued next week. The current system plan does not include any future system additions. Commission members were asked to review the current plan prior to the June 14 meeting and mark-up the • draft with comments and/or suggestions. DIRECTOR'S REPORT Mr. Mack reported on the following: • April 30 nature hike at the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP); • Legislation affecting the department; • National Park Service transfer of TCAAP railroad spur property to Ramsey County; and • The bid opening for Lake Josephine County Park redevelopment is scheduled for May 11. The project must be substantially completed in 2005.
