JOINT PARK COMMISSION RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, The communities of Minnetrista, Mound, Orono and Spring
Park have a desire to work together in the development of trails,
and
WHEREAS, there is a need for comprehensive planning between our
communities to maximize services to all the area's residents, and
minimize costs, and
WHEREAS, the very essence of a trails concept should permit the
greatest freedom of movement between our communities to ensure the
maximum of use and recreational experiences;
IT IS THEREFORE recommended by this joint meeting of the Park
Commission of Minnetrista, Mound, Orono and Spring Park, that the
Council of each city appoint a Trails Commissioner whose duties
shall be to work with each of the other trails commissioners to
develop a comprehensive trails plan for the lake region. Such
trails plan shall include a county and other trails system plans
that either enter or would link to this described region plan
with such specifications as would be necessary to show locations,
• use, condition of right-of-way, funding priority, method of funding,
and estimate of cost. Participation in this commission does not
imply commitment to any expenditure of funds without the specific
approval of the individual Councils. The commissioners shall
organize themselves with such by-laws and guidelines as needed,
and elect among themselves a chairman and such other officers as
they require. An interim report of the trails plans shall be
submitted to each Park Commission and/or Council as appropriate
on the third and sixth month following adoption of this resolution
of all Councils. Final report will be due July 1, 1976. All
municipal trails plans will be subject to each Council's approval
prior to adoption of the final report. Any abutting municipality
may join with this commission upon request. The Westonka League
of Women Voters shall be authorized to convene the first commission
meeting on or before July 1, 1975 and conduct necessary business.
Adopted by the Village Council of the Village of Orono at a regular
meeting held April 8, 1975.
