I . PaIks & Recreation Conunittee Meeting Minutes 05-05-04 next meeting, scheduled May 11, 2004. Option B would involve the city allowing the pipe, which crosses the property to remain, resulting in a revised valuation of $253,900. The committee discussed the financial statement prepared by the Finance Director, as well as reviewing the budget the committee had submitted for projected goals and projects over the next 5 years. There were numerous items the committee was able to remove or modify at this time due to more recent cost information. For instance the paving of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park parking lot and the cost of the skate park pad have been lowered from the projected amount, the monies needed in the event the DNR Trail Grant is awarded to Centerville was lower than budgeted for and there were items the committee would like to apply for grants for instead of budgeting the entire amount. The committee feels strongly that the parcel of property on Centerville Lake should be purchased by the city, using Park Dedication Fees, for park property. Motion was made by Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc, seconded by Chairperson Peterson, to revise the Parks & Recreation Committee Budget as previously presented to City Council to accommodate the purchase of the St. Paul Water Utility Property on Centerville Lake. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Commercial & Industrial Park Dedication Fees The Council discussed and tabled this item until June, 2004. This is dependant on pending legislation. VID.

PaIks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 05-05-04 the church property along the lake with the St. Paul Water Services and sanitary sewer easements along LaMotte Drive. Council Member Lee suggested working through the City Council and using the easements for the placement of the trails in addition to continuing discussion with the 81. Genevieve Renovation Committee. The preferred trail placement would be along the lake, but the second option would be along the vacated Goitfon Road. Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc reported that in the last meeting with Anoka County representatives regarding County Road 14 it appeared the road project would fund the trail section along County Road 14 from Wargo Nature Center to Centerville on the south side of a 2-lane portion of the road. Apparently a trail in the wetland does not require mitigation and Anoka County Parks would support this project. Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Warming House Renovation The Warming House Renovation Committee has not met at this time. Chairperson Peterson stated he would still like to see the warming house expanded, although it cannot go up, it could expand outward. Discussion of redoing the interior walls and the concern of the damage hockey sticks can do to walls. Insulation was previously discussed, but Chairperson Peterson stated the heating bills for the warming house for the winter months was minimal. The committee would like to give it a cleaner look before the start of the YMCA Summer Program. The committee discussed getting together as a group to repaint the inside of the warming house or the possibility of involving the YMCA in the painting of the walls. Ms Stephan will contact Ms. Jen Smith to determine what the start date of the program is and whether or not they would be interested in assisting with the painting. Chairperson Peterson and Committee Member Peil will meet at the warming house in the next week to determine what it needs and where to start. Tracie McBride Memorial Park No current updates.
