Case #1: Discuss Concept Plan for North Park within Town Center <br />Park Supervisor Riverblood explained we don't have funding within the Capital Improvement <br />Plan for this park space earmarked yet because we did not have a detailed park plan. We do have <br />each year within the Parks Capital Improvement plan a $5,000 line item which has not been used <br />yet for 2010. Also, we have the City's municipal well there which-could be called upon for <br />modest landscape improvements for water line pipe to that area for irrigation for a small amount <br />of lawn. There is also an identified need for an off leash area. <br />Vice Chair Backous asked what size trees would be put in there. Riverblood responded probably <br />1-1/2" or 2", 2-1/2". <br />Vice Chair Backous asked for a description of utility funds <br />Park Supervisor Riverblood responded our rates have to be indexed to the real cost of operating <br />utility. <br />Vice Chair Backous asked what the project cost would be. Park Supervisor Riverblood <br />explained first a concept plan is needed and then cost it out, however we are not at those levels of <br />improvements right now. Right now we are talking about attempting to get some irrigation, <br />utilize with no hard cost, and work on top soil and grading when staff time allows. <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood reviewed the North Park Preliminary Concept Plan. <br />Motion by .Commissioner Olsen, seconded by Commissioner Bennett, for staff to continue <br />working on the concept plan for North Park in Town Center. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Vice Chair Backous, Commissioners Barr, Bennett, Fyten, LaMere <br />and Olsen. Voting No: None. Absent: Chairperson Shryock. <br />Case #2: Discuss Statewide Health Impact Program Opportunity with Anoka County <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood reviewed the staff report and asked the Commission if they have <br />any other ideas or near future ideas outside of the bullet points outline in the staff report. <br />Commissioner Olsen commented on involving our local school. Come up with ways of getting <br />multiple families involved. <br />Case #3: Input on Park Re-Naming for Meandering Commons <br />Parks Supervisor Riverblood summarized that at the joint meeting in June the City Council <br />encouraged the Commission to discuss the proposed name and provide a recommendation on <br />The Draw or another suitable name.for the park space in Town Center. <br />The Commission discussed the name Artison Commons. <br />Park and Recreation Commission/July 8, 2010 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />
