Chair Bennett asked what is not completed on the 2013 project. Parks & Assistant Public Works <br /> Superintendent Riverblood stated the 2013 batting cages for Alpine park needed some <br /> maintenance which has not been completed. <br /> Commissioner Barr asked if ARAA would pay for both projects before they understand the total <br /> costs. She suggested more work be done to determine the costs prior to a motion being made. <br /> Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated he has researched and now <br /> ARAA has the detail necessary. This is being brought before the Commission at this time so as <br /> not to hold up the construction. The project can be matched with the dollar amount available. <br /> ARAA gets charged for electrical used on fields approximately 8% of the real costs. <br /> Commissioner Troy asked if the plan can be written for Commission review. Parks & Assistant <br /> Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated it will be detailed and written before going <br /> before Council. There are many issues that need to be addressed prior to the request going before <br /> Council. <br /> Commissioner Barr asked if the Commission is actually approving further investigation. Parks & <br /> Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood stated that is correct. All detailed information <br /> will be available prior to Council review. Safety and good workmanship is needed. <br /> Chair Bennett stated that is acceptable. <br /> Commissioner Barr requested the Commission be sent the final proposal before it goes before <br /> Council. <br /> Chair Bennett stated he does not know how much money ARAA has to put towards these <br /> projects. He does believe they do have funding available. <br /> Motion by Commissioner Fyten, seconded by Commissioner Troy, to recommend that City <br /> Council accept the Anoka Ramsey Athletic Association Donated Improvements to Alpine and <br /> Central Parks when the final details are available and that these proposed donations will not <br /> advance for Council consideration until ARAA 2013 project is completed. <br /> Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chair Bennett, Commissioners Fyten, Troy, Barr, Chubb, Mobry, <br /> and Trappen. Voting No: None. Absent: None. <br /> 5.02: Consider Formalizing the Process for Receiving Requests for Park and Trail <br /> Related Capital Improvements <br /> Parks & Assistant Public Works Superintendent Riverblood presented the Park and Recreation <br /> Commission is requested to consider formalizing the process for receiving requests for park and <br /> trail related capital improvements. <br /> Each year the Park and Recreation Commission develops and recommends a Five Year Capital <br /> Improvement Plan to City Council.
