Larry Koshak that Anoka is developing a bike trail that will tie in with <br />the alignment for the Rum River Bridge Crossing; the bike lane was deleted <br />from the Rum River Bridge in order to cut costs; Ramsay should follow up to <br />have the bike lane readmitted to the project and tie it in with a bike <br />trail in River's Bend Park. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto explained that the LAWCON program allows the State to <br />participate in up to 43% of a park project, with a maximum participation of <br />$40,000. In order to capture the maximum grant amount, a $93,000 project <br />is being considered; the city's share would then be $53,000 and donations <br />count towards the city's share. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox noted that this park has been predominantly developed <br />thus far by donations of labor and equipment; the compaction done at the <br />site should be followed up or that operation will have been wasted. <br /> <br />Mr. Otto stated that he will prepare the final LAWCON application based on <br />Council's recommendations and present it to Council for approval. <br /> <br />Case #8: Prooertv Acquisition For Water Tower: <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cox and seconded by Councilmember DeLuca to adopt <br />Resolution #87-240 authorizing the City Attorney to begin condemnation <br />proceedings.
