MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PARK COMMISSION <br /> Wednesday,September 10,2020 <br /> 6:00 o'clock p.m. <br /> Carter's advice would be to move Priority No. 3 (Trail along North Arm drive to Lakeview Legacy Park) <br /> into 2022 and either take out the CSAH 112 Trail out entirely or move it out and say if a miracle happens, <br /> they would support it. <br /> Carter noted on the previous page it says the Council has proposed a$50,000/year dedicated levy and <br /> asked if that is something they are still to vote on. <br /> Edwards replied yes,the Council will not make the final decision for the 2021 levy until the December <br /> Council Meeting. He noted at the preliminary budget meetings to date they have said that is one of their <br /> goals and their direction to Staff has been to include that in the levy. <br /> Carter said if that happened,on the following page it shows the negative balance of the Park Dedication <br /> Fee if they spend$929,000 it is-$915,989, so if they add$50,000 instead of subtracting$929,000 there is <br /> actually money for at least a couple of years without any backfilling from development projects. He said <br /> it's up to Edwards whether it makes sense to slide it to the right or just take it off the list,but he would <br /> suggest that it's not a priority for the next couple of years. <br /> Roath asked if Edwards has what he needs to get back to Hennepin County. <br /> Edwards said it would be something he would like to hear from the Commission with a formal motion. <br /> Carter proposed to shift the priority of the North Arm Drive Trail and eliminate the CSAH 112 Trail from <br /> the Capital Investment Plan. <br /> Roath said before they propose he'd like to ask a question about the CR6 Trail(OCB to Willow) <br /> Improvement. <br /> Carter said he agrees that should happen in 2022,and if they're spending between$50-$100,000/year <br /> they may be able to continue with the funding they will add. If they slide North Arm Drive to the left, <br /> they've got a year to plan for what they might do in 2023 if there is funding. He said he's not sure if they <br /> should take Priority No. 4 (CSAH 112 Trail)off completely or slide it to the right. <br /> Edwards noted in practical terms, if they don't build the trail while the road project is going on,they don't <br /> build a trail. He said the reason it's only approximately$900,000 and not more is because the County <br /> needs to do all the rough grading for the road, so that cost is already there and absorbed by the State turn- <br /> back funding. He stated this number is just the extra things that are needed and if they had to do the <br /> rough grading themselves the number would be through the roof <br /> Carter said realistically they would need to design the trail at the same time,rather than coming back <br /> later. He stated in that case,he is fine taking it off. <br /> Roath moved, Carter seconded to remove Trail Priority No.4(CSAH 112 Trail)which is currently <br /> slotted for 2022,from the CIP.VOTES: Ayes 6,Nays 0. <br /> Roath asked regarding moving Priority 3 (North Arm to Lakeview Legacy Park) up to 2022, can Carter <br /> sell the rest of the Commission on why they should move that up a year. <br /> Page 13 of 27 <br />
