a northeast of where it is currently located. It will be by the trail, which will allow access for the handicapped, and for weekly maintenance. Mr. Peterson will contact On -Site Sanitation to find out the length of the hose used to maintain the satellite. Motion by Mr. LeBlanc, seconded by Mr. Porter to approve relocating the satellite at Eagle Park slightly to the northeast, to the area by the trail, providing maintenance is attainable, based on Tedd Petersons judgment. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Mt. Porter questioned the status of the placement of the satellite at Acorn Creek Park. Specifically, the satellite is not placed where the Parks and Recreation Committee had specified. The committee discussed concerns related to the width of the trail around the play structure. Mr. Sweeney explained the park isn't complete yet, and the satellite needs to be placed in the best location for all things considered. Mr. Peterson and Mr. Porter will get together on Friday the 7 at 3:00 p.m., to go to Acorn Creek Park to determine the placement of the satellite by the trail. The general thought is to move the satellite a little to the south, where the committee had originally placed it. Purchase of Sanitation Units Ms. Lien explained that Mr. Palzer had submitted a break down of the costs to maintain the satellites at the first three (3) parks (the two (2) new additional parks were not included). Mr. Palzer would like the committee to consider purchasing the satellites outright for future use. The committee requested Mr. Palzer submit a breakdown of the costs to purchase and service the units, and also check into what happens when there is vandalism. Strip Mall Trail Mr. Sweeney is concerned about the condition of the trail in front of the strip mall and requested this be added to the agenda. Mr. Sweeney mentioned that he had approached the council at one of the council meetings, and had requested the City establish some type of standards for trails. "This trail is not up to code, and is not acceptable." Mr. LeBlanc suggested using Anoka County's standards for trails, adding they have a good solid base, grade and are level. Mr. LeBlanc will obtain a copy of Anoka County's standards and will deliver to each member of the Parks and Recreation Committee. DISCUSSION ITEMS Letters of Resignation / Election of Chairperson Both Mr. Navin and Mr. Larson gave letters of resignation. Motion by Mr. Porter, seconded by Mr. LeBlanc to accept the letters of resignation from Mr. Navin and Mr. Larson. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. 4
