After the decision is made, there is a 30-day appeal <br />period that puts us into June. <br /> <br />We are cautiously and respectfully moving forward doing what is possible. <br />We have begun to secure matching funds from natural resource grants and <br />affiliated groups to supplement and extend the Parks & Recreation Renewal <br />Program bond fund. <br /> <br />We are also doing as much planning work as possible for projects in year <br />one and two without incurring substantial costs. As the year goes on so <br />does the construction season, challenging Renewal Program timelines. <br /> <br />Thank you for your continued interest and involvement. Please stay <br />connected as we move forward to renew and improve our Parks & Recreation <br />system. We will continue to keep you updated as more information becomes <br />available. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, please give Lonnie a call or stop in to see <br />him at City Hall. <br /> <br />Lonnie Brokke 651-792-7101 lonnie.brokke@ci.roseville.mn.us <br /> <br /> <br />
