Items to consider for the <br /> 2020 Parks Capital Improvement Plan are as follows: <br /> Trail construction along CSAH 19(Livingston to Dakota)-$115,000 <br /> East Long Lake Road to trail-$120,000 <br /> Summit Beach improvements(paved parking and playground) -$140,000 <br /> Big Island ADA Trails,Amenities,Restroom-$80,000 <br /> GC fire pit-$26,885 <br /> Picnic table and shade sail at community garden-$7,000 <br /> Park related equipment on the CLP for 2020 include an aerator and a mower. <br /> Carter noted every project is included on the CIP except for Item 8. <br /> Johnson asked why the trail construction along CSAH 19 is not being done next year. <br /> Edwards indicated he tied the project to the road and currently that project is scheduled for 2022. <br /> Johnson asked if there was not some provision to redo that road as part of a development project due to <br /> damage caused by construction traffic. <br /> Edwards stated he is not aware of the set-aside of specific funds and that he would need to review that <br /> specific development agreement. <br /> Ruegemer asked whether the trail could be done separate from the road project. <br /> Edwards indicated it could be but then the trail costs would increase substantially. <br /> Carter asked what the County Road 6 trail improvements are. <br /> Edwards indicated that is a trail between Old Crystal Bay and Willow. The improvements would consist <br /> more of a rehabilitation of an existing trail versus new construction. <br /> Edwards noted the projected end-of-year 2019 Park Fund balance is $468,067. The projected end-of-year <br /> 2019 Lurton fund balance is $28,275. Barring any major developments,there will be some funding issues <br /> in future years. <br /> Page 3 of 7 <br />
