Edmonds, Asst. pirectgr <br />October 23, 1880 <br />Mr. Larry J. Brown <br />Executive Director <br />Suite 316 Court House. <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55102 <br />Dear Mr. Brown: <br />On July 8, 1980, the City of New Brighton asked the Board of Ramsey <br />County Commissioners whether the Board accepts its role as implementing <br />agency for the Metropolitan Council, in the matter of Long Lake/Rush. Lake <br />Regional Park and to identify for the City, haw development and operation <br />of this park may be expedited. <br />M(y initial review of this entire matter, convinces me that dual <br />ownerships within Long Lake/Rush Lake prevents the County from moving <br />,~ .forward with its ralt: as implementing agency. We cannot properly ask <br />for a Metropolitan Council Grant to develop property which Ramsey County <br />does not own. <br />With this in mind, my staff and I have held preliminary talks with <br />Metropolitan Council and New Brighton staff and have subsequently drafted <br />a four part Action Plan, which I believe will solve the underlying pro- <br />blem and allow the Board of Ramsey County Commissioners to move forward <br />with development of Long Lake/Rush Lake Regional Parka <br />I am requesting the board to adopt this four part Action Plan and to <br />recommend it to tht; Gity of New Brighton, for. their consideration and <br />concurrence. <br />As soon as the Gity of New Brighton concurs with the proposed action <br />plan, we will prepare and sutmit for Board ;approval in the normal and proper <br />sequence, the following:. , <br />1. Acquisition grant request X2.1) <br />2. Purchase agreement (2.3) <br />3. Master Plan far development (3.1) <br />4. Development grant request (3.2) <br />These actions, undertaken in their proper sequence, will discharge. <br />the County responsibilities under term$ of tha action plan. <br />Sinc rely <br />t ny J.
