Andersox('..'a6" ector Park and Recreation <br />Re: Long Lake Park, Development, operation and Maintenance <br />The City of New Brighton currently has all its options for <br />Long Lake Park still open. 't'hose options include: complete <br />development and operation by an outside agency, Ramsey County, <br />DNR, Metro Park system, etc.; complete development and opera- <br />tion by the City or some combination of the two options. <br />The Council has requested a study on the feasibility of total <br />City development and operation of the facility. Another simi- <br />lar option that should be explored is that of metro funded de- <br />velopment and city operation. Although the Metro Council has <br />taken a position in opposition to smaller municipalities acting <br />as implementing agencies for regional parks there still exists <br />a possibility of New Brighton being so designated. <br />The Ramsey County Board has not taken an official position on <br />regional parks except to request operation and maintenance <br />funds from outside sources. The implication of their actions <br />to date are that the county will not become actively involved <br />in regional parr activities for some time to come. The resolu- <br />tion recently adopted by the City Council and sent to.the <br />.County should provide us with some additional direction as to <br />the county's future plans specifically for the Long Lake/Rush <br />Lake property. <br />The cost projections used in this report are derived from <br />metro Council's development estimates and Ramsey and Hennepin <br />County operation and maintenance estimates. The estimates <br />are only estimates and are using 1979-80 dollars not adjusted <br />for inflation. <br />0
