Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 12-01-04 Members of the committee felt they were not included in this process and the negotiations for this property should continue. The majority of the committee felt the property is invaluable to the City of Centerville as park property and would like City Council to reconsider the purchase. The committee discussed that the properties on Centerville Lake along CSAH 14 will potentially become available with the reconstruction of CSAH 14 and although there is interest in these properties it was also felt they are too small and without parking to provide an adequate park area on Centerville Lake. It was also felt that if these properties were made available to the City of Centerville by Anoka County the price would be minimal. The committee made the following motion and requested they be added under Appearances to the next City Council Agenda to voice their concerns as a committee regarding this property. Motion was made by Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc, seconded by Committee Member Lindsay to recommend to City Council continuing with negotiations regarding the purchase of the St. Paul Water Utility Property at 1601 LaMotte Drive. All in favor. Motion passed unanimously. Adopt a Wood Duck House - Easde Scout Proiect Ms. Stephan reported there have been inquiries at City Hall regarding Adopting a Wood Duck House due to an article printed in the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
