ORONO PARK COMMISSION MEETING <br /> MINUTES FOR APRIL 3, 1995 <br /> (#5) Trail Update <br /> Brown Road Trail <br /> Flint questioned Gerhardson as to when the City expects to compete <br /> the Brown Road segment of the Bike Trail? <br /> Gerhardson stated that they have not started yet but hopes to by <br /> the end of May and finish up in June . <br /> McMillan asked how the bike trail portion was to be funded, i .e . , <br /> was the City Council planning to use Park Dedication fees or MSA <br /> funds? <br /> Gerhardson was not sure at this time . <br /> Old Crvstal BaY Road Trail <br /> Flint asked when the paving was going to occur on the portion of <br /> the bike trail on Old Crystal Bay Road over the former Dickey <br /> property. <br /> Gerhardson expected as soon as the road restrictions were off, and <br /> the bituminous plants open up. Which could be between the middle <br /> of April to the lst of May. <br /> Flint referred to the memo from Ron Moorse stating that the City <br /> does not have any money to take from MSA funds . The total cost from <br /> Baker Park to the Old Crystal Bay Road Railroad bridge is <br /> $235, 000 . 00 . Of that amount we would pay half, which is <br /> $117, 500 . 00 . <br /> White reported that the DNR may be able to award $50, 000 out of <br /> next years funding and also perhaps $50 , 000 out of funding for the <br /> first year ending June 1995 . There are a number of projects that <br /> are in the previous funding cycles that are not going to be <br /> fulfilled. <br /> Flint summarized that the cost from the park fund may be as low as <br /> $67 , 500 . 00 for this phase or it may be $117, 500 if DNR funding is <br /> not available . Flint moved to recommend to the City that they <br /> accept the bids and go forward, recognizing that the funds are <br /> going to come out of the Park Dedication Fund, for phase one, <br /> McMillan seconded. Ayes 5, Nays 0 . Flint agreed to remind Moorse <br /> that he needs to verify with Doug Bryant that Hennepin Parks <br /> funding for 50% is still available . <br /> (#6) Review of 1995 Action Plan <br /> Flint asked if there are any questions on this item. Flint stated <br /> that Council Member Jabbour felt that the Park members should tour <br /> Big Island to view the park opportunities there . It was agreed <br /> that a tour would be organized in the several months . <br /> 12 <br />
