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 />
