COMMISSION BUSINESS <br /> <br />Case #1: Recommend Master Trail Plan <br /> <br />Mr. Boos explained that they received only one response back from the request for proposals <br />(RFP) for the Master Trail Plan. He stated that they sent out information to four or five firms <br />whom are specialized in trail planning, but SRF was the only one to submit a proposal. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos explained that SRF is very well connected to agencies that fund grants for trail <br />systems, he has reviewed the documents, and the proposal meets the letter of the RFP except for <br />the cost. He noted that as part of the proposal he requested a breakdown of the number of hours <br />that would be required and an estimated cost for each different section of the project. Mr. Boos <br />felt it would be possible to cut costs under Design Standards and Operations and Maintenance. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos stated that it is important to get the process going and submit proposals for the grant <br />dollars because as land development continues the more difficult it will be to proceed. <br /> <br />Commissioner LaMere questioned if SRF would take care of getting grants. Mr. Boos stated that <br />is not included in the proposal, but noted the City has been successful in the past with getting <br />grants. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rolfe questioned the idea of trying to bond the whole project now and acquire all <br />the property needed before costs increase. Mr. Boos explained that it is important now to focus <br />on the Trott Brook Trail Corridor first and then identify all the specific trials that will be needed. <br /> <br />Motion by Commissioner Ostrum, and seconded by Commissioner Johns, to recommend to the <br />City Council approval of the proposal submitted by SRF for the Master Trail Plan with Staff <br />modifying the project to meet budget. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Chair Cook, Commissioners Ostrum, Johns, Asfahl, LaMere, and <br />Rolfe. Voting No: None. Absent: Droegemueller. <br /> <br />Case #2: Name "Community Park #5" <br /> <br />Mr. Boos explained that the Park and Recreation Commission is requested to select a name for <br />Community Park #5 from suggestions made by the residents and also recommended naming the <br />creek at the same time. The park name suggestions were the following: Pebble Park, Oakbrook <br />Park and Oakbrook Stream, Willow Creek, Pebble Creek, Christmas Boot Creek, Oakbrook Park <br />and Oakbrook Stream, Drake Park, Oak Creek Park, Elmcrest Park, Plum Creek Park, and <br />Timber Creek Park. <br /> <br />Mr. Boos noted that Commissioner Droegemueller indicated he selected Oak Creek Park. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ostrum questioned if the creek currently had a name. Mr. Boos stated that it is <br />currently called ditch #66. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/May 13, 1999 <br /> Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
