<br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />Meeting Minutes 02-05-03 <br /> <br />The web site can be utilized to get information to the public and to possibly coordinate efforts. Committee <br />Member Peil expressed frustration at this point saying what is the point of discussing programs when there is <br />no one to run them? To have any type of summer programs a coordinator needs to be hired as neither staff <br />nor committee volunteers have the time it would take to coordinate something like this. Committee Member <br />Peterson reminded the committee that many of the programs they are suggesting are all ready offered to <br />residents through the City of Lino Lakes and is it really necessary to duplicate programs for a city of 3,200 <br />residents? <br /> <br />Motion was made by Committee Member Peterson, seconded by Committee Member LeBlanc to <br />recommend to City Council the hiring of a summer program coordinator. All in Favor: Motion <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />4. Park Maintenance Priority Schedule <br /> <br />At the December, 2002 Parks & Recreation Meeting Council Member Broussard-Vickers suggested having <br />Mr. Paul Palzer, the Public Works Director, develop a park maintenance priority schedule based on his <br />budget. This would give Public Works and Parks & Recreation a list of every thing that needs repair and/or <br />maintenance and a way to help prioritize what needs repair. These items would be funded out of the <br />maintenance area of the budget. Council Member Broussard-Vickers requested Mr. Palzer look at this <br />project through the fIrst quarter of 2003, documenting what he sees as priority. Mr. Palzer supplied the <br />committee with a memo showing that as the budget currently stands he is basically short $5,000 without <br />including any of the park maintenance items. Satellites for the parks cannot even be covered from the Public <br />Works budget at this time. Council Member Lee suggested tabling this item until the next scheduled <br />meeting as City Council has a budget workshop scheduled where this will be discussed. <br /> <br />VIT. UPDATES <br /> <br />1. Sno Biz <br /> <br />Committee discussed upcoming Skate Night Event at Laurie LaMotte Park and coordinated efforts. All the <br />Parks & Recreation Committee members will participate in the Friday night events. <br /> <br />2. Goals Update <br /> <br />Committee Member Seeley summarized the project she worked on to replace and upgrade the timbers at <br />Tracie McBride Park. This item was tabled because of lack of funds, but also due to the issue Mr. Palzer <br />brought up in regards to should the timbers just be repaired or upgraded to be ADA accessible. Committee <br />Member Peterson's project was the paving of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park parking lot. City Council will <br />readdress this issue this spring. Committee Member LeBlanc reported his goals were to continue focusing <br />on trails and Committee Member Peil did the research for Royal Meadows Park. Committee Member <br />Peterson reported the bleachers for Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park have been delivered to Public Works and <br />will be assembled. Chairperson DeVine said her project was the warming house renovation and there was <br />nothing new to report as the committee is still waiting for a design from the Centerville Lions. <br /> <br />3. Grants <br /> <br />Chairperson De Vine was to contact City Administrator Moore-Sykes in regards to applying for 2003 Grants, <br />but she decided not to pursue it since it was her feeling there is not money available for matching grants and <br /> <br />50f6 <br />
