~ Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 10-06-04 Although the trail would be installed at a later time, the equipment used to sub-cut & install the base is already at this location so this would be an advantageous time to do the work. Motion was made by Chairperson Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Lindsay to recommend to City Council requesting Dresel Contracting sub-cut and install base for a trail along the east side of the parking lot at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for connecting at a future time to the existing trail running east and west along the warming house. All in favor. Motion passed unanimously. Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Warmin2 House Renovation Committee Member Peil had requested volunteer help to paint the inside of the warming house.

St. Paul Water Utility Property on CenterviIIe Lake The City Administrator, City Attorney and Mr. Bill Tschida from the St. Paul Water Utility have a meeting set up to review the purchase agreement on the St. Paul Water Utility Property on Centerville Lake. Council Member Mary Capra is questioning recent information she has become aware of; if a government body uses condemnation to obtain property for a public purpose, if the property is no longer needed for that public purpose they cannot resell the property for any kind of profit, it has to stay in use for a public purpose due to it having been condemned. Council Member Capra spoke with Mr. Melvin Dupre who said in the 1890's the St. Paul Water Department came into Centerville and did condemnation for the purpose of providing water utilities to the City of St. Paul. It was at that time they took residential shoreline and the property in question that the city is seeking to purchase. If condemnation occurred, the St. Paul Water Department is a government body and not a private company. And if they obtained the property through condemnation can they resell the property? 40f5
