Dana and Rolfe Anderson arrived at this time. <br /> <br />Since there was not a quorum present, it was the consensus of those present to <br />recommend that the City Council authorize a hard surfaced trail on the north side of <br />193rd from Highway 169 to Baldwin Street with their preference being an 8 foot wide <br />bituminous surface with the minimum acceptable walkway being a 6 foot wide concrete <br />surface. <br /> <br />Steve Rohlf led a discussion on park property needs when the City reaches full <br />development. Steve explained the rationale used to identify the number of fields of <br />each particular type needed to accommodate a population of 40,000 people. The Park <br />and Recreation Commissioners added their input on existing fields, School District fields, <br />and fields provided or not provided for residents of neighboring municipalities. Steve will <br />return to the Park and Recreation Commission at a later date when he has had time to <br />tabulate all of the data into a recommendation on how much park property should be <br />purchased now for future development for the City Council. <br /> <br />It was the consensus of those present to adjourn the meeting at 9:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />o JJ;- <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Phil Hals <br />Street/Park Superintendent <br />
