<br /> <br />ITEM 7. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL <br />PARK & RECREATION COMMISSIONj() <br /> <br />PAT KLAERS, CITY ADMINISTRA~~ <br /> <br />APRIL 8, 1993 ~ <br /> <br />LAWCON GRANT <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Attached for your review is the Woodland Trails grant <br />information Phil Hals provided the Park and Recreation <br />Commission for its March meeting. At this meeting, the <br />Commission indicated that its preference for work in the <br />Woodland Trails Park includes: entrance road, parking lot, <br />roadway lighting of the hiking path, and to construct about <br />half of the crushed rock trail. The Commission indicated its <br />preference to omit the picnic shelter and about one-half of the <br />crushed rock trail. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />As the Council and Commission is aware, the City submitted a <br />grant application for $137,000. The State is funding $50,000 <br />of the project and, therefore, the project can be reduced to a <br />total of $100,000. Most of the City match will be equipment <br />and manpower, but some cash contribution may be required in <br />order to meet our 50% obligation. <br /> <br />The goal for this project is to work with the golf course in <br />developing the entrance road into the park and to have some <br />activity take place in later 1993. The majority of the work in <br />this park is planned for 1994. The City will have to work with <br />the golf course in determining how much of the entrance area <br />(Nord property) they wish to purchase or obtain .from the City <br />for an expansion of their driving range. As the Council and <br />Commission is aware, part of the existing driving range is <br />already on City park property. It is possible, but nothing has <br />been discussed at this time, that the City and the golf course <br />could share the entrance into both facilities. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420 <br />
