. ~ Parks 1& Recreation Committee Meeting Mbmtes 08-C)7..{)2 Acorn creek Trall (Uocb)te), Committee Member Peterson relayed information through Ms~ Stephan that the trail is paved, but there are still issues with water runoff. The way the water is going under the trail, the area will erode again. It is also really steep, which is a safety concern. The Building Official and City Engineer are still looking at the problems and working with the developer. It does not need to be handicapped accessible per the City Engineer. Update. at next scheduled me~g. VI. NEW BUSINESS Roval Meadows Park Ms. Stephan supplied the committee with a copy of the document Anoka County has on record for the sale afRoyal Meadows Park, which shows the City of Centerville is unable to sell this park property. The copy states: Royal Meadow, a joint venture between Banker's Guaranty, IDe., a Minnesota Corporation, and Hart Custom Homes, IDe., a Minnesota Corporation; equal partners, do hereby donated and dedicate to the public for pub6c use forever the thoroughfares, park, and drainage and utility easements as shown on the plat. A discussion was held as to what options were then available for Royal Meadows Park since there has been so much destruction and vandalism of equipment in this park. Committee Member Peil is in favor of moving the play structure from Royal Meadows to Laurie LaMotte Park. This is only the third summer that this equipment has been in place. It was suggested the equipment be left until next spring at which time a letter will be sent to a1llocal residents requesting input. A hearing would be held before the equipment is moved. The suggestion was then to move the play structure to Laurie LaMotte Park and turn the current basketball court at Royal Meadows Park into a larger court. It . appears this is the area that is used the most and cared for in the park. Committee Member Lee said he would work with Committee member Peterson to put some figures together for the cost of this project.
