Moorse <br />aiggested the construction begin north of the railroad tracks and continue as the funds <br />allow. The problem with this suggestion is that the trail would then not be contiguous <br />and no grant funding would be received. If completed by the end of 1997, the grant <br />funds could be recouped. <br />Hurr recommended beginning the condemnation process and move ahead with the trail <br />construction. Gerhardson said negotiations could still continue during the process. <br />Hurr noted that only temporary easements were necessaiy for this section of the trail. <br />Moorse said the problem arises with the elimination of some trees. <br />Callahan said if the land was condemned, the City should make the necessary changes in <br />the plans to ensure that the trail is in the best location. Kelley noted the trail section by <br />the Dickey property and changes that w'ould have been made if land condemnation was <br />used in that area.
