<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Memo to Mayor and City Council/Oct. P&R Update <br />October 3, 2000 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />In 1995, when the snowmobile trail map was originally approved, a trailhead was <br />identified in Orono Park. The Snowmobile Club is requesting that the City allow <br />installation of an 8 ft. tall by 5 ft. wide sign as noted on the attached drawing. <br />This sign would include city maps and rules for traveling through the City, as well <br />as a map of the County trail system. It is the intent of the River City Snow Riders <br />to maintain these permanent signs. An additional sign is being requested by the <br />River City Snow Riders at the northwest corner of Jackson Street and Highway <br />169 (Holt and Jackson). As you know, this site is owned by the Economic <br />Development Authority and is currently being marketed as available for <br />development. As the site is currently being marketed, staff is uncomfortable <br />recommending that a permanent sign for the snowmobilers be located on that <br />site at this time. Staff would recommend, however, that the City Council allow <br />placement of a permanent trailhead sign at Orono Park. Staff will work with the <br />Snowmobile Club to ensure that the sign location complies with the City <br />ordinance. <br /> <br />Playground Ribbon Cutting <br /> <br />On October 2, 2000, the City hosted ribbon cutting ceremonies for the <br />playgrounds located at Country Crossings 3rd and Lions Tot Lot. In attendance <br />were Councilmember Dietz and Commissioners Anderson (both), Huberty, and <br />Reitsma. The City provided refreshments and grab bags for the children. The <br />ribbon cutting at Country Crossing 3rd was especially well attended. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />. Seed Stripper Information <br />. Memo from Phil Hals <br />.
