City Council Minutes Page 7 <br /> July 15,2019 <br /> ----------------------------- <br /> Mr. Hecker stated staff from the Lion John Weicht Park rink would be transitioned <br /> to the new rink. He believes the newly proposed rink would have a greater utilization <br /> rate due to the full set of dasher boards. <br /> Mr. Hecker asked the council about getting rid of the Kliever Lake Fields Park. It <br /> costs about$5,000 to flood each year and seems to have low usage. <br /> Councilmember Wagner addressed the issue of people having to cross County Road <br /> 12 to use the Spectrum rink if the Kliever Lake Fields Park rink was no longer <br /> available. <br /> The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended closing both the Lion John <br /> Weicht and Kliever Lake Fields Park rinks but a final decision has not been made. <br /> Councilmember Westgaard appreciated the collaborative effort with Elk River Youth <br /> Hockey. He recommended writing down the arrangements to avoid confusion in the <br /> future. <br /> Mr. Portner stated they would not need to make a decision about closing Kliever <br /> Lake Fields Park rink at this time. <br /> Mr. Eason said his only concern was being squeezed out of rink usage. He will have <br /> to go to the Elk River Youth Hockey board for final approval. He asked about the <br /> timeline for an agreement. <br /> Mr. Portner said he would be in contact with Spectrum and Spectrum is anxious to <br /> begin working on the project. <br /> 9.3 US 10 Reconstruction and Multi-Use Trail Project Update <br /> ebish an Mr. Femrite presented the staff report. <br /> has agreed to construct a multi-use trail from Simonet Dr. to Lowell Ave. <br /> The city must provide 20% of the cost.The new trail would be lit with pedestrian <br /> lighting. <br /> Mayor Dietz asked about the timeline between this project and the CSAH 1 project <br /> and whether the areas constructed in 2020 have to be torn up again for the project in <br /> 2021. <br /> Mr. Femrite talked about the merits of combining the projects. Although they are <br /> two independent projects, there is a potential for them to be combined. They would <br /> aim to be completed ahead of the 169 Redefine project beginning. <br /> UREJ <br />
