The deadline for grant applications for trail systems is May 30th. Monies usually <br />come to the DNR by July 1 and contracts are ready by Labor Day. Claudia Dodge <br />asked if ski licenses would be required on Ramsey trails. Mr. Barber replied <br />that if the trails were groomed and advertised as such and state monies were used <br />to develop the trails, participants would be required to purchase licenses. <br /> <br />In conclusion, Mr. Barber said it is best to start small and do a good job <br />developing trails to promote more use. Chairman Donovan suggested Ramsey start <br />with River's Bend Park and concentrate on developing Cross Country Ski trails <br />rather than snowmobile trails. Mr. Barber agreed to come out in the spring and <br />help walk out the trails. <br /> <br />Case #3 - Ice Rink Maintenance on Weekends <br /> <br />'Merle Mevissen, Public Works Supervisor, said the problems with weekend snows <br />is that the streets and city lots must be attended to first and he doesn't have <br />enough personnel to take care of the ice rink in addition to the streets on <br />weekends. Chairman Donovan, asked if Merle would have any objections to asking <br />the City Council to consider contracting the job out. He did not have any <br />objections. Commissioner Looyen made a motion to go before the City Council <br />with the contract proposal, seconded by Commissioner Rustad, motion carried. <br /> <br />A motion was also made to recommend to the City Council that Carol Sather's <br />salary for coordinating and supervising the Warming House and ice rinks, be <br />raised. Motion by Commissioner Rustad, seconded by Commissioner Lokker, motion <br />carried. <br /> <br />Meeting adjourned at 8:23 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Kathy Long <br />Ramsey Community School Secretary <br /> <br /> <br />
