Satellites were discussed and whether there <br />was a need to move them for the race. The committee felt that would not be necessary with facilities <br />available at both Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park and the Anoka County Regional Park. Council <br />Member Lee said in looking at the race route, he thought 15-20 volunteers would be needed just to be <br />on the route at any point someone could take a wrong turn. Chairperson Seeley asked whether it would <br />be possible to move volunteers from the start of the race else where as all the racers passed. Council <br />Member Lee thought it would be possible to overlap some traffic control parade volunteers with traffic <br />control volunteers for the race. The application still needs to be sent to the county with the route, fee <br />and insurance. Having the Lion's concession stand open for the race was discussed and Mr. <br />Keiselhorst thought that was a good possibility. Chairperson Seeley asked Mr. Keiselhorst ifhe would <br />keep the committee updated on a monthly basis. <br /> <br />Mr. Chris Lonl!:. Bonestroo Enlrlneer. Trail Proiect Discussion <br /> <br />Mr. Chris Long from Bonestroo attended the meeting to review trail options. The committee looked at <br />the trail segments through Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park connecting to the trail corning from the <br />Chain of Lakes Regional Park and to the sidewalk on Centerville Road in front of Chauncey Barett <br />Gardens and made recommendations. The committee discussed the connecting trail from Brian <br />Drive/Eagle Trail to behind City Hall and did not feel the expense of a bridge was warranted and the <br />money could be better spent in another area of the project. They would like to see the sidewalk <br />currently on Brian Drive simply continued to County Road 14. Chairperson Seeley requested that on <br />the next version of the trail proposal it be made clear which trails are 8' and which are 10'. <br /> <br />Mr. Geoff Martin, Bonestroo was in attendance to discuss the elements of the trail side park. <br />Committee Member Haiden and Committee Member Selander had reviewed the options as supplied to <br />the committee in the packet and made recommendations via Project Requirement Forms which will be <br />attached to these minutes.
