Genevieve property. Committee Member Lindsay felt council supported the Parks & Recreation Committee's recommendations. Committee Member Lindsay also attended a meeting concerning downtown revitalization and discussed the trail options with the Anoka Country consultants from SRF.

Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Warming House Renovation The Warming House Renovation Subcommittee met prior to this meeting and discussed what improvements could be done at this time to the warming house at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. The subcommittee discussed painting and color schemes such as a Centennial Cougar theme with Centennial colors. Ms. Stephan contacted Ms. Jen Smith, coordinator of the Chain of Lakes YMCA Park Play Days, to inquire whether they would be interested in involving the children in painting the warming house with perhaps handprints, murals or other creative ideas. Ms. Jen Smith replied they would be interested in the idea and willing to work with the Parks & Recreation Committee on a plan. The committee needs to contact Ms. Smith. The subcommittee also discussed some changes to the cages and over lights. The heating bill is minimal, but the building could use some insulation blown into the ceiling and trusses. The soffits and fascia also need to be redone as they are rotting. The subcommittee would also like to replace the plexiglass and the ftxtures in bathrooms. Chairperson Peterson will get bids on the soffits and fascia, Committee Member Peil will price paint.

A plan and timeline will be determined at the next Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting. Tracie McBride Memorial Park There are no current updates regarding this issue.
