Commissioner Sagan clarified what year will mining will be finished. Ms.Johnson stated that it is phased from 5 to 60 years. Commissioner Niziolek asked to be shown the existing road with respect to the new road alignment. Ms.Johnson stated that the new road alignment is being discussed with Sherburne county, council and DOT. 7.3 Lake Orono Trail Project Mr. Hecker presented his staff report sharing that staff is looking for support of the trail project resolution to go to City Council. Commissioner Holmgren asked why it stops at Proctor and if it can go further east towards downtown. Mr. Hecker stated that if you ask for more than the funding available in the grant then it would be denied. The city engineer has suggested the amount of trail to be within the scope of the grant. It was asked if we have lost hope of getting access under the bridge,Mr. Hecker stated"no",but is a different issue. Commissioner Niziolek would encourage that the trail go all the way along the Highway 10 to Gary Street. Mr. Hecker indicated this is a conceptual idea. Chair Anderson thinks trail should go to Gary Street so it doesn't go into the skate park. r-- BY NATURE
