Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes June 7, 2006 consider an additional phase to the project being a bridge over Clearwater Creek in the vicinity of Grange View. Easements have not been discussed with the property owners; this is just in the early planning stages. A larger project has a better chance of receiving a grant and this would cover all walking/riding routes to the elementary school from both northerly and southerly directions. The committee would be supportive of any trails that would further connect existing trails, as so many of the trails and sidewalks in Centerville end without connecting to another sidewalk or trail. The concern would be where would the funding come from to match the grant if a grant were received. The Parks & Recreation Committee is using Park Dedication Funds to purchase the property at 1601 LaMotte Drive which will almost deplete the Parks & Recreation Committee's funds. If a DNR Grant is received to help finance the purchase of 1601 LaMotte there would possibly be some Park Dedication Funds available. City Administrator Larson stated the City should know within the next month if a DNR Grant will be received to help finance the purchase of 1601 LaMotte Drive. The trail easement at 1818 Fox Run was also discussed briefly while City Administrator Larson was still present. The City O"MlS park property at 7212 Mill Road, which is adjacent to this trail easement. The committee would like to know if this property can be sold or if it was deeded to the City with the condition it remain park property. The City Clerk will research this item. The committee also needs to know if this easement is a trail easement or a utility easement and are there utilities present. If this is a trail easement, it could be included in the above project making it easier for children to access trails. This item will be tabled pending further information. IV.
