Park and Recreation Commission Meeting March 8, 1995 Page 4 Phil Hals was directed to come to a future meeting with plans and costs for gate installations. . 8. Consider Ski Trail Groomer - Dave Anderson Chair Anderson stated that the local ski club has been given a Polaris snowmobile that could be used to pull a small ski trail groomer that could be used for minor grooming touch ups, grooming for school races, or grooming when snow falls are light. This snowmobile and groomer would be operated by ski club volunteers. The Commissioners received literature on a Tid Tech groomer that is available. It was the consensus of the Park and Recreation Commission that due to the short remaining season, Chair Anderson should come back at a future meeting with a firm price including delivery and at this point the Commission supports the purchase. 9. Consider Park Caoitallmorovement List for 1995 A short discussion on this item was held and, due to the late hour, it was decided that this item will be discussed in detail at the April meeting. 10. Consider Develooment of Youth Soccer Fields Chair Anderson gave a brief update on the Fair Board/City conversation regarding the Orono Road/Joplin Street intersection which will have an impact on softball parking issues which will have an impact on soccer field construction on the E & 0 Tool park land. Chair Anderson stated that no decision on the E & 0 fields, even for temporary uses, will be possible until the Fair Board and Sherburne County Board come forth with their decision. . Phil Hals distributed a plan for the construction of six youth sized soccer fields on WWTP property located at 165th A venue and Jaryis Street. He also explained that the City continues to look for suitable park property and since we are still two months away from the construction season, the Commission may want to discuss this item further at a future meeting.
