August 13, 1981. Park Board Minutes <br />V. New Business <br />Page 2 <br />A. Long Lake Park Master Planning Process Recommendation <br />Anderson said the next step is to generate discussion,:set up <br />atime schedule, recruitfor:committee, determine what role <br />the committee will take. Ken Simons and Bernard Edmonds have dual <br />roles; one as consultants and as planners. They wi l take input from <br />City staff and the committee. The County could, if it chose to, <br />write a Master.-Plan and say this is it. That is not their intention <br />but Ken Simons is the planner -and probably started today with the <br />boiler plate - the standard verbage. He will be identifying con- <br />cerns the City will want input on. Even though he is working on <br />it, we will not have input until this first step is completed. <br />The Park Board received a draft of the announcement to be put in <br />the New Brighton Bulletin regarding applicants for the committee. <br />Solberg asked if there will be a cross section of New Brighton <br />residents. <br />Anderson said there will be three .Park Board members, three Long <br />Lake residents, and three non-Long Lake residents. All six people <br />will: submit an application on the standard commission application <br />form. The Park Board will pick from the applicants.. <br />Solberg stated she would like to .see the park facilities for the <br />handicapped. <br />Johnson said there has been money donated from the Lions Club for <br />a blind trail. <br />Solberg said there was only one park in the. metro area that is <br />equipped for-the handicapped. <br />Anderson said he was aware of at least one other. <br />Dahl asked if it had been decided whether the community organizations <br />would receive a letter in regard to the committee. <br />Anderson said it was his understanding the decision was no. The <br />committee members might expect to serve. If it is put in the <br />Bulletin everyone gets a fair chance and it keeps the expectations <br />down. <br />Carlson asked what would happen if we couldn't get-three people <br />from the community. <br />Anderson said he doesn't think it will happen. <br />Carlson said the committee will have to put in alot of time. <br />Anderson said he anticipates. only about 5 or 6 meetings. <br />Dahl asked if a special meeting would be necessary to identify <br />those applicants chosen <br />
