The construction would not <br />begin until next year. There is a possibility that parts of the <br />project could begin earlier. <br />Public Works Director Gerhardson said that a determination <br />must be made of where the project will begin and how much funds <br />are available to begin. He estimated it would be at least two <br />years. <br />Counci Imember Goetten said that she had attended the Park <br />Commission Meeting when this matter was discussed. She said the <br />City needs to get started on this before all the land is <br />subdivided. Goetten believed that bike/hike trails would be <br />beneficial to a community such as Orono. Goetten indicated that <br />she is concerned that scheduling the Public Hearing for March <br />12th may not allow enough notice. <br />Bernhardson replied that the March 12 date was tentative and <br />could be rescheduled. <br />It was moved by Acting Mayor Callahan, seconded by <br />CounciImember Goetten, to schedule a Public Hearing for March 26, <br />1990 for the purpose of increasing the Park Dedication Fee. <br />Bernhard.son suggested that an indication be made as to what the <br />increase will be. Goetten agreed with the ?»ifk Commission <br />recommendation of 8%. Callahan thought it best to indicate 8% to <br />10% rather than stating a specific percentage. Motion, Ayes-4,
