Park Commission Members <br /> <br /> The Clerk noted that Pete Clement was appointed to serve on the Park <br />Commission for another term. <br /> <br />4. Master Park Plan Discussion <br /> <br /> The Clerk noted that Planning Commission would like the Park <br />Commission to review the Trailside Park Plan and to offer input on the <br />plan and to support the Planning Commission’s philosophy about parks. <br /> <br /> The Park Commission discussed the process it should follow to give input <br />on the proposed plan. After reviewing the 16 items in the plan the <br />Commission felt there were too many outstanding issues to deal with prior <br />to giving feedback on each item listed in the plan. <br /> <br /> The Commission questioned the ownership of the Trailside Park property <br />and the authority the City would have to make improvements to the park. <br />Mike Loven explained that much of the Park is owned by the DNR, <br />MnDOT, and some is leased by the Chamber from the City. He noted that <br />this does not give the City a lot of room to make improvements without <br />some type of approval by other agencies or the Chamber. He noted that <br />the City will be working with the DNR to develop a joint powers agreement
