Mr. Gerdes confirmed that those tracks are well used. <br />Commissioner Barten asked if there is electrical available in the area and whether vehicles would <br />need to be charged. <br />Mr. McLain replied that it would be nice to have access to power if available and water as well for <br />wetting the track. <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood replied that the cost for developing a water <br />system to the site would be several thousand dollars. <br />Mr. McLain replied that he could bring water to the site when needed. <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood commented that he could follow up with <br />Connexus to determine if an electric outlet could be added for little to no cost. <br />Acting Chair Sis stated that he is in support of doing a course at one of the parks, but it would not <br />necessarily have to be Alpine. <br />Commissioner Leistico stated that she likes the location at Alpine Park. <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Director Riverblood commented that the Commission could make <br />a motion to proceed with the development of a remote -control vehicle track and if there was a <br />significant expenditure involved, it would need to come back to the Commission. He stated that <br />it seems that there would be minimal cost, and this would not be a permanent improvement. <br />Acting Chair Sis commented that there are small parks like Titterude Park that would have utilities <br />available and could perhaps create a nicer track amenity. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked what would occur if the parking at Alpine needed to be expanded <br />but recognized that there may be another park that could be more suited because of access to <br />utilities. <br />Parks & Assistant Public Works Director commented that he does also believe Titterude could be <br />a great location. <br />Commissioner Barten commented that Titterude would also eliminate the adjacent skate park <br />concerns. <br />Motion by Commissioner Leistico, seconded by Commissioner Barten to move forward with siting <br />and investigating options for a remote -controlled car track in Ramsey and direct staff to find the <br />most feasible location, bringing that information back for consideration. <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Acting Chair Sis; Commissioners Leistico, Barten, Loss, and Olson. <br />Voting No: None. Absent: Chair Bennett and Commissioner Walker. <br />Park and Recreation Commission/July 14, 2022 <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />
