<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Park & Recreation Commission Meeting <br />September 4, 1991 <br /> <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />The County does not have a jet-ski safety program at this time but may <br />look into establishing such a program in the future. <br /> <br />Mr. Anderson stated that the City of Big Lake has an attendant on duty <br />and charges $2.00 or $3.00 per vehicle for parking at their lakeshore <br />park and that the City of Elk River may want to look at a parking fee <br />in order to limit the use of the lake. <br /> <br />There was discussion about posting a sign with boating regulations and <br />if a larger sign would detract from the park atmosphere. Another idea <br />was to incorporate a somewhat larger sign than we now have with <br />handouts available for boaters. <br /> <br />6. Discussion on Area Horseback Riders <br /> <br />Joe St. Dennis was present as a representative of the local Horseback <br />Rider's Association regarding the use of Woodland Trails Park for <br />riding trails. The horseback riders would like to work with Park staff <br />to develop riding trails that could parallel ski trails and cross the <br />ski trails a minimum number of times. <br /> <br />Mr. St. Dennis stated that he would secure volunteers to help pull <br />brush and cut in trails. Mr. Hals indicated that his department would <br />do the design and layout and assist with trail development as time <br />permits. <br /> <br />,.. <br />f. <br /> <br />Discussion on Lion's Club Activities at Lion's Park <br /> <br />Chair Dave Anderson questioned the use of Lion's Park for 1992 soccer <br />and/or football. Phil Hals said that to date, the Lion's Club position <br />is to not allow organized athletics to use the park, but they will be <br />contacted again and, considering that it would be used a limited time <br />on an emergency basis, he assumes they will agree with the request. <br /> <br />8.
