Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes February 1, 2006 of the driveway at the current addition site. The Parks & Recreation Committee had made a recommendation, which council approved, to request an easement from the Church in the northwest and southeast corners of the property to allow connection to trails and City property. Mr. Larson had requested an easement all along the south of the property where there is already a Met Council easement for a forced main. Mr. Wilharber stated the church would have a problem with an easement along the southern edge of the property as the church had other plans for that area. Chairperson Peterson stated that speaking on behalf of Parks & Recreation Committee he did not have a problem removing the language for the southern easement as long as the City still has an easement on the northwest and southeast corners of the property. Anoka County has an easement along Centerville Road. There is an existing sidewalk in front of Chauncey Barret and the downtown redevelopment plan shows a sidewalk on both sides of Centerville Road in the down town area. VIII. FINANCIALS The committee had requested a fmancial report specific to the Parks & Recreation Committee be included in each monthly packet. Chairperson Peterson met with Mr. John Meyer, Finance Director, to explain what information the committee would like to see provided in the monthly financials. Committee Member Amundsen questioned why it was shown that the entire amount of the park property at 1601 LaMotte Drive was being paid by the Parks & Recreation Committee when it was his impression when the decision was made to buy both of the lots that the City would fmd a way to finance part of the property. The committee also questioned why there are still items listed in the statement that were completed in 2004 and 2005 such as the parking lot at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. It is listed as needing to be moved back to the General Fund. Chairperson Peterson will follow up with these questions and report back to the committee. Chairperson Peterson also pointed out to the committee that listed under Projected Liabilities is a TE Trail Grant Match for 2008 of $71,250. If the City receives this grant it will connect Meadow Lane & Chauncey Barret to Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park & Clearwater Creek Trails. IX. ADJOURNMENT Motion was made by Committee Member Amundsen, seconded by Committee Member Peil to adjourn the February 1, 2006 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting at 8:38 p.m. All in favor.
