outright sale can be approved by City Council, allowing for an April 2000 installation and <br />completion of the project. <br /> <br />Councilmember Connolly inquired as to the life expectancy of the play equipment and if the Park <br />Commission had a fall-back plan if volunteers do not show up for the installation of the play <br />equipment. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos replied that the back-up plan would be for the play equipment to <br />be installed by staff and the Park Commission and also explained the play equipment he feels has <br />the best design and durability currently available. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec noted that the Ramsey Lions have expressed interest in assisting with the project. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Anderson, seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen, to recommend <br />that City Council approve the resolution authorizing purchase of a play structure and declaring <br />existing play equipment surplus property. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec Councilmembers Anderson, Hendriksen, Connolly, <br />and Zimmerman. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Case #3: <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission Presentation on the 2000 - 2004 Parks <br />Capital Improvement Program (C.I.P.) <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos stated that each year the Park and Recreation Commission <br />discusses the Five-Year C.I.P. relating to Parks and Trails. For 1999, the process began in May <br />and led to a public hearing at the Commission's regular October meeting. Mr. Boos gave a brief <br />presentation of the Parks Five-Year C.I.P. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec noted that there were no plans for a trail connecting T.H. #47 to Sunfish Lake <br />Boulevard in the Parks C.I.P. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos explained that the extension of Sunwood Drive would make a <br />connection from T.H. #47 and Sunfish Lake Drive and reviewed plans of the Anoka County <br />Parks Commission for C.R. #116. <br /> <br />Coulacihnember Zimmerman inquired if it would be possible to move the projects for Flintwood <br />Terrace up a year since the park is so highly used. <br /> <br />Park Commissioner Droegemueller explained that Flintwood Terrace is a neighborhood park and <br />the other irrigation project included on the C.I.P a community park and would make more sense <br />to irrigate a COmlnunity park first. <br /> <br />Councihnember Connolly inquired if the Park Commission is still working with park districts. <br /> <br />Finance Committee/December 14, 1999 <br /> Page 4 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
