MINUTES OF THE REGULAR ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING HELD ON SEPTEMBER 8.1997 (Park Commission Comments - Continued) Jabbour indicated that the Commission was asked to review the trail matter with Council Member Flint. Jabbour said his visit with Hennepin Parks Superintendent, Doug Bryant, indicated potential significant benefits to working with Hennepin Parks towards planning of trails to be a part of the regional trail system. (Council Member Flint arrived at this time.) Welles concurred with Jabbour. He reported that future funding will require new revenue sources. Jabbour informed Welles that the Council is in the process of re- evaluating the park dedication fee ordinance. He also advised Welles that the direction being considered by the Park Commission for widening roadways for shoulder -type trails is in direct conflict with the desires of many of the residents. He was of the opinion that it would be a problem to widen Watertown Road to add a shoulder trail. Flint emphasized the need for the Park Commission to focus their work in the area of open space and meet with Council. PLANNING COMMISSION COMMENTS Janice Berg had no comments.
