Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 03-18-09 was and he would get the information to the committee. Satellites were discussed and whether there was a need to move them for the race. The committee felt that would not be necessary with facilities available at both Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park and the Anoka County Regional Park. Council Member Lee said in looking at the race route, he thought 15-20 volunteers would be needed just to be on the route at any point someone could take a wrong turn. Chairperson Seeley asked whether it would be possible to move volunteers from the start of the race else where as all the racers passed. Council Member Lee thought it would be possible to overlap some traffic control parade volunteers with traffic control volunteers for the race. The application still needs to be sent to the county with the route, fee and insurance. Having the Lion's concession stand open for the race was discussed and Mr. Keiselhorst thought that was a good possibility. Chairperson Seeley asked Mr. Keiselhorst ifhe would keep the committee updated on a monthly basis. Mr. Chris Lonl!, Bonestroo Enl!ineer, Trail Proiect Discussion Mr. Chris Long from Bonestroo attended the meeting to review trail options. The committee looked at the trail segments through Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park connecting to the trail coming from the Chain of Lakes Regional Park and to the sidewalk on Centerville Road in front of Chauncey Barett Gardens and made recommendations. The committee discussed the connecting trail from Brian Drive/Eagle Trail to behind City Hall and did not feel the expense of a bridge was warranted and the money could be better spent in another area of the project. They would like to see the sidewalk currently on Brian Drive simply continued to County Road 14. Chairperson Seeley requested that on the next version of the trail proposal it be made clear which trails are 8' and which are 10'. Mr. GeolT Martin, Bonestroo was in attendance to discuss the elements of the trail side park. Committee Member Haiden and Committee Member Selander had reviewed the options as supplied to the committee in the packet and made recommendations via Project Requirement Forms which will be attached to these minutes. Vice-Chairperson Amundsen said he was concerned about the driveway, 2 telephone poles, fire hydrant, as well as utilities, which will have to be moved. The committee had a lengthy discussion regarding park concept plans. Mr. Martin said he would come back to the next meeting with information regarding moving the driveway and utilities, revised park concept plans incorporating the committee's ideas and costs associated with each.
