MAY 3, 1989 PARK BOARD MINUTES 3 Olson suggested having an organized "walk" to get people aware of the park and the trail system. Gunderman commented that there are so many things to do once the trail system was complete. Rose commented that the Coon Rapids Dam had a lot of trails. Johnson suggested taking a hard look at the CIP - maybe something in there could be deferred. Eichers thought it would. be best to have Margaret Egan, Finance Director, check the books. She may be able to come up with some money somewhere. .There should be some interest money from the water settlement. Van Hatten clarified that the motion was to send the recommendation to staff not the council. Anderson said that was correct. The ultimate recommendation from the Park Board to the council will be stronger if you know the exact details. MOTION CARRIED. Gunderman .mentioned .that the city attorney has changed law firms-and the city is deciding whether to stay with him and change to his new firm or to stay with the current firm. Gunderman said the city is reviewing the policy of sick leave due to the .decision made to allow Dave Broullet to be given sick leave by other city employees. Gunderman commented he would like to review the sick leave policy of any other private firm. Gunderman said this is a difficult situation. We want to help the employee but at the same time are concerned about any precedent that may be started. B. Long Lake Advisory Committee Carlson stated they did not meet. C. Community Center Task Force Olson commented that the community center in Roseville was defeated. Johnson said that timing is real important. Eden Prairie had done a good job of planning theirs but then the property taxes went out right before the referendum. It is important to keep residents informed all along the way.
