s <br />in summary, the City has its options open however, until <br />Ramsey County takes formal action it will be difficult to <br />proceed from our present position of wait and see. Should <br />Ramsey County decide to proceed with development of the <br />entire system, or of Long Lake/Rush Lake as a pilot project, <br />the. City's decision-making process will be simplified. The <br />idea of using Long Lake/Rush Lake as a pilot has been in- <br />formally presented to Ramsey County staff and Commissioner <br />Salverda. If the County should opt for no development in <br />the immediate future, the City should at least consider the <br />option of securing permission from Ramsey County and Metro <br />Council to develop the entire site as a regional park and <br />delete from the concept plan the nature center building and <br />the day camp. This operation would roughly cost the City <br />$117,000 per year with receipts in the $30,000-50,000 range <br />if entrance fees were charged. The remaining $67,000-87,000 <br />expenditure is still a significant amount of money and further <br />study, as well as a firm decision from the County, will be <br />necessary before a final decision can be made. <br />• <br />•
