He gave a presentation about mountain biking <br /> and discussed volunteer hours and fees. <br /> Mayor Dietz stated he was surprised that the majority of people who utilized Hillside <br /> were non-residents. He stated he didn't realize what an expert course it is and why <br /> people were drawn to it. He stated the park should be developed for all skill levels <br /> and local residents should want to use it too. He stated the city needs to do what is <br /> best for a majority of its own citizens. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard questioned why there were discussions about not <br /> keeping Hillside as a park. <br /> Mr. Hecker stated staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission did include it as <br /> an option due to the many hours needed to sustain the park based on maintenance <br /> records. <br /> Parks Commissioner Dave Anderson stated the current trail was designed prior to <br /> today's standards for trail design. The Commission considered all options but felt it <br /> should stay as a mountain biking park. <br /> Councilmember Wagner stated the Parks Commission liked that the trails could be <br /> sustainable because it was important to try and cut down hours and to have the park <br /> serve a multi-use function for many skill levels and for hikers. She further stated she <br /> doesn't have issue with users from out of town because they would visit some the <br /> city's businesses. She stated the Commission has learned there is a high school <br /> mountain biking team coach,which they didn't know existed and could be a possible <br /> P 0 W I R I U 9 Y <br /> otmaA UREJ <br />
