<br />visions of each connnunity relating to the trail system. Mr. LeBlanc will be coordinating <br />this meeting to be held sometime in July or August, at City Hall. <br /> <br />Letter to Residents in Eagle Pass regarding Lighting of Trail <br />Previously discussed and disregarded. <br /> <br />Concrete in Ice Rink at Laurie LaMotte Park <br />Discussion was held regarding the fees involved with such a large project. The general <br />consensus of the Parks and Recreation Committee was, although it would be nice for <br />flooding purposes, it would be best to table this item for the future. <br /> <br />NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />Laurie LaMotte Park (Outfield Fences and Bleachers) <br />Ms. Lien explained that Bill Bisek (Kelly's Komer) requested this be placed on the <br />agenda. Mr. Bisek would like the Park and Recreation Committee to install outfield <br />fences and bleachers at Laurie LaMotte Park. With the upcoming Fete des Lacs ball <br />tournarnents, in order for it to be sanctioned, it has to be within regulation - which <br />requires outfield fences. If there are no outfield fences, there will not be a tournarnent. <br /> <br />Ms. DeVine suggested that perhaps Mr. Bisek would be willing to donate the funds for <br />the outfield fences, since he was willing to donate the funds for another ball field at one <br />time. After discussing the issue, the Parks and Recreation Committee decided to propose <br />the idea to Mr. Bisek. Mr. Sweeney requested staff copy any quotes received by Mr. <br />Palzer to him, and he will present the idea to Mr. Bisek. <br /> <br />Recommendation by the Parks and Recreation Committee to accept a donation by <br />Mr. Bisek, to fund installation of outfield fences at all of the fields at Laurie <br />LaMotte Park, subject to Mr. Sweeney's discussions with Mr. Bisek. <br /> <br />Mr. Navin felt the soccer and softball clubs should provide the bleachers. He will discuss <br />the issue with Pat Mahr of the Little League and Dave Knol ofthe Centennial Soccer <br />Club. <br /> <br />Skate Park / BMX Track <br />Ms. Lien explained she had previously been directed by the Parks and Recreation <br />Committee to contact Shoreview's Connnunity Center to find out information about their <br />bike track. In her discussions with Sandy Wagner (Connnunity Center Director), Ms. <br />Lien learned that Shoreview doesn't offer a BMX bike track, but rather a skate park. <br />They will be adding a bike track sometime this year, but as of this date, there is just a <br />skate park. Ms. Lien was given a lot of good information, contacts, and other cities to <br />call that have skate parks. After polling several connnunities and their respective police <br />departments on the pros and cons of their skate parks, Ms. Lien shared that all of the <br />connnunities polled strongly reconnnended skate parks. Ms. Lien submitted information <br />relating to each City polled and information from True Ride - Skate Park Design and <br /> <br />6 <br />
