Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood explained that they need to be very cautious with the <br />national guidelines as if they are too zealous in adopting AASHTO standards, they may find the <br />existing trails would need to be upgraded very soon. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock commented that they should give them a deadline for a timeline. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns indicated that if they could give them a chapter and a half a month, she would <br />be happy with that. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds asked if they have a eight foot trail today and the standards say it should be <br />ten feet, are they out of compliance or when they do another trail would it need to be ten feet. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood indicated it would probably be both. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock noted the plan should outline the ideals and when trails need repair or <br />upgrading, that is when they do the upgrading. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ostrum asked why they are having such a problem with the plan. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood explained they asked for a very aggressive and <br />comprehensive document but he in no way misrepresented that. He stated he thought there was a <br />disconnect between the people at the organization. <br /> <br />Discussion continued in regards to the reasons why the plan is taking so long to complete. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shryock commented that she thought the first two pages seemed unnecessary in <br />this section. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood asked if it would be easier to see the revised copy to mark <br />up. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns stated they have seen some of this verbatim before only in a different format. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ostrum asked if they could get a revised table of contents with the revised <br />sections. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds asked where the other sections are beside section four. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood noted section four is the only revision so far. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ostrum indicated he thought they should sit down in a workshop and reconcile <br />this. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Riverblood stated they could do this at the October meeting. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns explained that if a chapter will be revised each month, it should be part of the <br />agenda. <br /> <br /> Park and Recreation Commission/September 11, 2003 <br /> Page 6 of 8 <br /> <br /> <br />
