Key issues from the Work Session for the Park Master Plan were said to <br />be 1) evaluation of remaining large parcels of land for open space; 2) funding options to <br />include tax authority and outside funding for maintenance of parks and acquisition of <br />park land; 3) community play field for recreational needs and potential locations as well <br />as discussions with other west suburban communities regarding play field needs; and 4) a <br />tree planting program for parks and other property within the City. The Park <br />Commission will review trails for biking and walking at a later time to tie the trails <br />together in a general format. Park standards will also be reviewed. <br />McDermott reported that the Park Intern, Mike Schultz, has been doing an outstanding <br />job and would appreciate any extension of time available to maintain Schultz for further <br />review of the park system. <br />McDermott also reported that the Old Crystal Bay Road bike trail construction is now <br />out for bids. The Park Commission is concerned with the funding for the bike trail and <br />would like to see the curb and gutter paid for by other means than the Park Dedication <br />• Fund. <br />.- <br />
