Clearwater Creek Trail Feasibmty Study Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc and Committee Member Seeley, as members of the Grant Subcommittee and the Trail Subcommittee have determined there are a number of unresolved issues with submitting the DNR Trail Grant for 2005 revolving around the widening of County Road 14. Chairperson Peterson stated that the SRF Clearwater Trail Feasibility Study brings up a lot of questions without solutions, which may hinder the grant application. Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc stated he would not want the DNR Grant Committee to approve a grant for this project when there are too many unknown variables and suggested the committee not submit a grant application for 2005. Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc feels the committee should submit a letter to the DNR Grant Committee explaining why an application is not being submitted this year and he will draft a letter for committee approval. St. Paul Water Utility Property on Centerville Lake Mayor Capra, Chairperson Peterson and Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc are attending the S1. Paul Water Utility Board Meeting on February 8,2005 to discuss the City purchasing the property at 1601 LaMotte Drive. The committee feels it should let the previous motion concerning the purchase of this property stand at this time and wait to see what transpires at the board meeting. If a motion is needed by the Parks & Recreation Committee following the board meeting, a Special Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting will be called.
