ow~ the land, hov~evero and this may be a problem. & trail could be <br />designated but not used until the property owner a~reed to the e~ement. <br /> <br />CASE t Di~ussion re~qrdipg trails. <br /> <br />Com.mic~ioner Shumway requested discussion re~arding horse trails be put <br />on the next agenda, possibly working along with those requesting snowmobile <br />trails. <br /> <br />Commissioner Shumway indicated he is interested in getting a multiple <br />trail system going. Bob Peterson of the Ramsay Sno-Rams said they can get <br />85~', funding from the State for a winter trail system but did not know ff it <br />would apply for a multiple use trail system. Right to use permits for these <br />trails are effective from November 15 to April I on private property. <br />Commissioner Shumway said he works with the DNR and the state trails are <br />multiple use trails. Chairman Lighter request~l a map of the current trail <br />systems. Comn~_i~sioner Shurnway would like the multiple use tr_ai!_~ to <br />connect -~ith the trails at Bunker Park and to the weigh station, passing <br />through Northfork. Paterson said the application for funai~g has to be <br />subm.itted by May 1, and they would have volunteer labor. The snow~nobile <br />club needs a government a~ency to apply through, either city or county. The <br />trails committee -~ill schedule a meeting to discuss the matter. Paterson said <br />he could have a state representative attend a committee meeting. <br /> <br />CASE #5: Di~ussion re~.arding estimates for expansion of wa~,,i_n_§, house and <br />hockey rink facilities. <br /> <br />Merland Otto provided the estimates requested.

Chairman <br />Lighter would like to get the recommendations of the hockey ussociation, and <br />Commissioner Hetland ~ attend their next meeting. <br /> <br />Carol Sather, warm__i_~_~ house manager, said they have to alleviate the <br />problem now. The warming house and skating area are not large enough, <br />and she has to sel~rate age groups for safety. There are 3 rinks at Ra _m._~ey <br />School and there is not room for more. Sather presented the following letter <br />to the Park Com_m.ission: <br /> <br />February 19, 1957 <br /> <br />To whom it may concern: <br /> <br />City Council ...... Park and Recreation Comm_. <br /> <br /> On many (weather pe,'l.itting) nights between 175-200 <br />children and adults use the only. Ughted skating area available <br />in Ramsay. This number creates an overcrowded recreation area <br />(inside the warna__i~g house and on the rink_~). In turn it leads to <br />serious accidents and supervision that is too thin to handle all <br />problems. <br /> <br /> If thi~ community truly wants a ~qualitv. and safe winter <br />recreation program that serves families, the pubUc hockey interest, <br />and the organized hockey association, I feel the following racom- <br /> <br /> <br />
