Recommendation for filling the Park and Recreation Vacancy Motion by Council Member Nelson, seconded by Council Member Sweeney to appoint Wayne LeBlanc to the Park and Recreation Committee. All-in favor. Motion carried unanimously. XL COMMITTEE REPORTS • Council Member Sweeney stated the Park and Recreation Committee has decided to complete the following projects this summer: park signs surrounded by landscaping, possibly installing park benches and picnic tables for all City parks and Royal Meadows Park will be receiving new playground equipment from the same company used to purchase equipment for Acorn Creek Park. The committee has also forwarded a letter to the City Engineer requesting all future development agreements include a Class 5 Trail in the agreement prior to the home construction. • Council Member Vickers stated the Planning and Zoning Commission has appointed Ban-y Brainard as the seventh commission member and has appointed Brian Hanson as the new Planning and Zoning Commission Chair. The Commission is also continuing to work on Ordinance #4, and is looking at the draft to be completed by May. • The Mayor stated the Tri -City Police Commission would be meeting Thursday, March 9 at 7:00 p.m. Future meeting locations will be rotated throughout the three cities. • The Mayor stated the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes would be taking bids for the trail that will be implemented around Centerville Lake and eventually will encompass thirty -two miles of walking/bilcing trail. A two hundred - person shelter is also being planned at the park along with various other amenities. The Mayor stated John Olson, Anoka County Highway Engineer has reviewed the 20th Avenue and Main Street traffic counts and has expressed a possibility for traffic flow could include 80 Avenue coming across 35E, making that Main Street is almost impossible due to the wetlands and the environmental impact. An option presented by Anoka County at a previous time, was to take County Road 14 and loop it down Centerville Road and across and go back to 20 and come back up. Mr. Olson at that time stated very few people would go through that loop and would just continue going through the City. Council Member Broussard Vickers added, that by the end of the conversation they seemed to sort of give up on the East -West idea, but have not entirely given up the idea of coming down straight and curving the road from Main Street down to Centerville 5
