<br />Parks & Recreation Committee <br />Meeting Minutes July 6, 2005 <br /> <br />problems with this when the time came to actually deicide where the trail would be. With the <br />new building the trail easements will be included with the survey and in writing per City Council <br />request. There are three small trail easements on this property to connect to existing trails with <br />the City being responsible for the installation and cost of the trail. Committee Member Peil <br />stated that hopefully we will be able to piggy back the trail with the parking lot of the church <br /> <br />The committee went over the locations of the parks within the city and what type of park each is <br />with the new members. Committee Member Seeley informed the committee that she adopted a <br />wood duck house and requested Mr. Drew Johnson install the house on the little Peltier Lake <br />park property near Peltier Preserve. Committee Member Seeley had this approved by Public <br />Works Staff prior to the installation and she will maintain the wood duck house. <br /> <br />St. Paul Water Utility Prooerty on Centerville Lake <br /> <br />The Finance Director, Mr. John Meyer has submitted a DNR Grant Application for the purchase <br />of 1601 LaMotte Drive. The City has not heard anything regarding this grant at this time. <br /> <br />Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Plav Structure <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson reported to the committee that a letter had been received from the Spring <br />Lake Park Lions regretfully informing the committee that they did not have funds available at <br />this time for the Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park play structure. The committee had requested <br />$10,000. <br /> <br />Committee Member Peil suggested the committee look into information on grants for the <br />purchase and/or planting of trees as she felt that Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park is in desperate <br />need of some shade. Chairperson Peterson said he would rather see an open sided structure for <br />shade, but this does not really help in between the three (3) sets of ball diamonds. Committee <br />Member Peil will look for more information and report back to the committee. <br /> <br />Wheels Skate Park <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson stated all the new equipment has been installed and is actively being used <br />by many residents. Committee Member Seeley said the sign however, has already been <br />vandalized. Public Works staffwill take a look at it. <br /> <br />Chairperson Peterson gave the prospective new committee members a brief history of the <br />committee regarding projects, funding, park dedication fees, trail systems, etc. <br /> <br />Additional Li2hts at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park <br /> <br />Public Works received a bid from Rivard Electrical regarding the installation of the additional <br />lighting at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park for the pleasure ice skating rink. Rivard Electric will <br />be able to utilize wiring in the existing lights. The original amount approved by City Council <br />was $3,000, this was in the event they would not be able to use the existing wiring. The bid <br />received was $1, 595. Chairperson Peterson will talk to City Administrator Larson and have the <br />work done as soon as possible. <br /> <br />40f5 <br />
