• <br /> park and recreation system that meets the needs of our <br /> citizens, a certain amount of funds must be collected as <br /> all new developments have some impact on City services, <br /> including park and recreation. <br /> Attached for your information is the material the Planning <br /> Commission reviewed and recommended to the Council <br /> relative to this issue. <br /> The Council will review this material on 6/18/90. The <br /> code amendment requires platting for "meets and bounds" <br /> property which allows park fees to be collected.

The discussion <br /> should include school use of the trails (which may require <br /> closing the trails during certain periods for <br /> competition) , development of a second trail along the <br /> existing trails, expansion of the trails onto private <br /> property by the ski club, requirements of the grant <br /> application that includes an annual user fee to citizens <br /> who use the trails, and how the trails should be available <br /> for our citizens . <br /> An associated issue with the cross country ski trails is <br /> development and use of the abandoned railroad bed which <br /> the City now owns . This discussion can include debate on <br /> summer and winter use of the trails along with 1990 and <br /> other long range trail improvements . <br /> 9 .
