The City <br />would pay for the materials, but the Scouts would construct and anchor the benches, <br />making sure they would be ADA compatible. The Commission discussed having the <br />Scouts lead other troops or citizens in the extensive plantings at Navarre Park as another <br />community service project. Sledding at the golf course has been successful. The <br />landscaping for Navarre Park was recently highlighted in the City's newsletter. The <br />Commission was recently invited to meet with Senator Jeff Johnson at the Capital this <br />week. They would like to meet with him to raise concerns. They discussed pedestrian <br />traffic around Navarre Park. Drew McDermott discussed the aesthetics of the Highway <br />12 corridor with regard to design materials and construction of berms. Gappa presented <br />proposals for the Lurton and Carlson properties after the Highway 12 relocation is <br />completed. Access to the Carlson property should be a city road so people don't have a <br />problem gaining access to the park. The Commission also discussed the holding pond <br />Mn/DOT proposed for the Carlson property. They feel the money received for Mn/DOT <br />being able to build the pond should be put into a trust fund for future improvement to <br />City parks and trails. The slide presentation of lake access points will be ready to present <br />in April. <br />0 <br />White asked what troop the Scout was from. Bouchard stated it was the Long Lake <br />troop. White suggested that if the Commission meets with Jeff Johnson, they take a list <br />of issues facing the City and use the opportunity to mention them to the senator. <br />2 <br />
