Formulate, Ouestions for Filling Commission Vacancy <br /> <br />The Commission agreed to use the same questions as in the past in evaluating prospective Park and <br />Recreation Commissioners. An advertisement has been placed in the Ramsey Resident. Mr. <br />Schroeder indicated that results from a recent survey by Quad Cities Cable TV indicate that 86% of <br />residents in Andover, Ramsey, Anoka and Champlin receive their primary information as relates to <br />their communities thru the local city newsletter. <br /> <br />Direction and Goals <br /> <br />Lengthy discussion ensued by members of the Park and Recreation Commission and Mr. <br />Schroeder including general goals and commitments of the Commission, significant present and <br />future improvement projects, funding, City Council goals related to Park and Recreation, the <br />effects of therAmericans with Disabilities Act on current and future plans, and alternates to routes <br />that require residents to utilize the shoulder of the road to connect from one park or trail to the next. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder indicated that by closely monitoring the phased trail from Whispering Pines to <br />Hunters Ridge, the Commission can more closely determine the wet/dry costs for trail areas <br />including those that utilize fight-of-way. <br /> <br />Status of Outstanding Grant Pro_oosal$ <br /> <br />Mr. Boos informed the Commission that prior to April 15, 1993, the City will reapply for funding <br />for the County Road #116 transportation trail and may also propose a trail project for the <br />Mississippi Corridor from Federal Transportation funds (ISTEA). <br /> <br />Mark Boos indicated that Federal funding for bikeways may not be the answer for pedestrians <br />having to use the shoulder of County Road 83 to gain access from one trail to the next. The <br />Federal funding opportunities need to be clearly transportation related. Mr. Boos suggested <br />however, that a segment might possibly to added to ride with another proposal to address this <br />issue. <br /> <br />COMMISSION INPUT <br /> <br />None <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Cook and seconded by Commissioner Gookin to adjourn the meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carded.
