Chairperson Johns explained how the concept of the park would look. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated they have SCORE money, which is money they get back <br />from the County for recycling. He explained they could use the monies if they had over fifty <br />percent recyclable materials. He noted that staff has also begun to look at grants to supplement <br />the cost. Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos described the different concepts Ms. Flanagan and he <br />discussed for the park. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns noted this would be one idea that would be different and there could be <br />others. <br /> <br />Commissioner L aMere commented i t sounded 1 ike t here could b e some resources where they <br />could get additional money for the project so it would be worth it to spend some money on this. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds stated being able to use the funds and using recyclables would be a positive <br />action. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos noted this park would be a way to distinguish Ramsey and to <br />distinguish this park from other parks. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ostrum commented they are using creative financing for this park. <br /> <br />Commissioner LaMere indicated this would also be teaching children for the future. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds stated they would be able to attract families because of the quality of living <br />and what their City has available for activities. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos explained it would cost $12,000 for the design and development <br />stage. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ostrum asked if they would need to provide more information in order to get the <br />funding. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated that was where the problem would lie because they needed <br />the money to go forward but there is not a plan put together yet. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Commission was to review the information further and discuss this further in <br />June. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Ostrum, seconded by Commissioner Shryock, to proceed with the idea <br />and present it to the City Council at the joint meeting. <br /> <br />Motion carried.
