Cross Country Ski Groomino Policy Phil Hals raised the following concerns regarding the ski trail grooming in Woodland Trails Park: 1 . Should the City groom for recreational use or competitive events? 2. Should user groups such as School District 728 or other schools that hold meets on the park trails be responsible for extra grooming costs? 3. How should grooming schedules be established? After discussion on these issues it was decided that a sub-committee, consisting of Dave Anderson, Mike Niziolek, and Phil Hals, come back to the full Commission with some recommendations to resolve these issues before the fall of 1994 ski season. . 7.2. Park Usaoe for Competition Skiino Phil Hals expressed his concern over the exclusive use of all park ski trails for competition ski events that would eliminate any recreational skiing during these events. Phil also raised the question if the groups holding competitive events should be required to follow some sort of reservation procedure. After a brief discussion this item was also forwarded to the sub-committee with the direction that they return with a policy recommendation for a future Park & Recreation meeting. 7.3. Community Development Grant Update Phil Hals displayed a map of Woodland Trails Park showing the proposed bituminous trails, crushed rock trails, grass trails, and a revised outline of estimated costs for the community development grant along with the proposed construction schedule. Several Commission members questioned the use of crushed rock trails versus bituminous trails and requested that Phil Hals rework his estimates for consideration at next month's meeting. Commissioner Lipetzky left at this time (9:10 p.m.). .
