Information Memo-July 14, 1999 Park and Recreation Commission Page 3 City Attorney still needs to review the document, and we have not heard from the BMX • organizers regarding their comments. We hope to have the lease approved by the City Council on July 19, 1999. 4. Community Recreation On June 28, 1999, Charlie Blesener presented information to the City Council regarding Community Education providing recreation services as they did in the late 80's, early 90's (see attached information). No decision was made by the City Council. The next Community Recreation Board meeting is July 19, 1999, and an update may be shared with the City Council at that evening's meeting. 5. Trail Standards On Tuesday, July 6, 1999 Terry Maurer, Phil Hals, Stephen Wensmen, and Dave Anderson met to discuss trail standards. The following items are proposed to be implemented: • Establish preconstruction meetings with developers and contractors to set performance expectations in regards to surface voids and smoothness. • Revise standard specification with an additional cross section shoing curb cut, change in mix with smaller rock, smoothness tolerance of 1/8" per 10' of trail, and • minimum standards for finish grading. Terry Maurer will develop cost estimates for trail construction based on the new standard. At a future meeting, the Park and Recreation Commission should discuss the trail reimbursement/credit policy. 6. Park Dedication Ordinance Based on the June meeting discussion, changes have been made to the working draft of the park dedication ordinance. The City Attorney is now reviewing the draft, and we will schedule adoption of the ordinance as soon as his comments are received. The Commission will receive an adoption schedule as one is made available. On a related note, we have received a copy of the Park Dedication Fee Study information from Dahlgren, Shardlow, and Uban (letter attached). It appears that St. Cloud cancelled the study. We will review the information received and organize it into a format that the Commission can easily review. We propose to review park dedication fees in October in order for them to become effective prior to January 1, 2000. 6. Letter from Aaron Veek • We received the attached letter from Aaron Veek and have responded by sending him a copy of the Master Park Plan and the concept plan for the park in question.
