(#4) UPDATE ON BIKE/HIKE TRAIL - To be discussed later (#5) UPDATE ON OLD CRYSTAL BAY SITE (McMILLAl� McMillan reported that the City Council gave their approval to proceed with the development of this site by getting ideas from the residents. The Council should be updated on the progress of the plans. McMillan suggested the Park Commission schedule a public meeting vs. a public hearing in February to get further input from the neighborhood. Randi Carlson has been the neighborhood representative on the sub-committee. McMillan thought a letter should be sent to the neighborhood residents in early January informing them of the upcoming public meeting so they can be prepared with their ideas for the site. The meeting should be held at the new Council Chambers. She asked if the idea of closing Prospect Avenue should be stated in the letter. Others agreed this could be included in the letter. Chair Flint asked about the idea of selling off one of the plats. McMillan felt there were too many unknowns with the soil contamination and decision of what to be done with the Council Chambers. At this time, only ideas should be contributed about Parcels A and B, not C. It was decided that the public meeting would be held at the February 7 Park Commission meeting. 2
