The November Park and Recreation Commission agenda included consideration of the revised snowmobile trail map, a neighborhood discussion regarding the trails in Oak Savannah Park, and consideration of two subdivisions for park dedication purposes. Also as part of this Commission update, the Council will be asked to consider the appraisal for the LaFavor land in the northeast corner of the City, and also to consider the expenditures for the furniture, fixtures, equipment, and wiring for Lions Park Center. Approve Snowmobile Trail Map and Implementation Plan Attached for Council consideration is the revised cross-city snowmobile trail map and implementation plan that has been agreed to by the River City Snow Riders snowmobile club, the Park and Recreation Commission, and staff. At its November meeting, the Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council adopt both the map and the implementation plan for the 2001-2002 snowmobiling season. The substantial changes to this year's map are: Memo to Mayor and City Council/Lions Park Center November 19, 2001 Page 2 1. The paved trails along Waco, County Road 33, and Joplin will be maintained with snow in order to provide some additional access points to the larger trail system. Also included is the use of the trail on 193rd Avenue from Proctor Road to the railroad grade. This segment will need to be carefully managed, as a number of children will utilize this area in order to walk to Meadowvale School. 3. A new connection this year will be Highland Road, which will provide access to Highway 169. Also included on the map are the snowmobile rules, which were adopted as part of the ordinance earlier this year by the City Council. Staff and the Commission recommend that the City Coundl adopt the attached snowmobile trail map and implementation plan. Appraisal of Park Land As directed by the City Council at their September 17th meeting, staff obtained an appraisal for the 70 acres of land offered for park by Mr. LaFavor located west of Monroe Street and north of County Road 21. The appraised value for the 70 acres of land, based on three comparables within a 10-mile radius of the site, is $546,000 or $7,800 per acre (see attached appraisal statement and report). The comparable sale price per acre ranged from $5,713 per acre to $11,441 per acre. Mr. LaFavor is still interested in negotiating a purchase of the land by the City based on the appraised value with similar parameters as his original offer (50% down, and the remaining to be paid in annual increments over five years). Staff requests additional direction regarding this issue. Lions Park Center Expenditures Staff has been compiling costs for the remaining expenditures for the Lions Park Center and has detailed a list of furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF & E) (attached). Staff also met with representatives of the telephone and cable companies regarding wiring the building for cable TV, telephone, and computer network services. Elk River Municipal Utilities has provided an estimate for security and monitoring. The total cost is broken down as follows: Furniture, fixtures, and equipment: $19,351.14 (includes all tables and chairs to fill layouts) Telephone and computer network: $2,000.00 Cable TV: $2,500.00 (includes internal bulletin board) Security: $12,300.00 (includes smoke and heat detectors) Total: $36,115.14 S:\PLANNING\MICHMC\PARKNREC\LPCexpendidtures.doc Memo to Mayor and City Council/Lions Park Center November 19, 2001 Page 3 Previously, the Council agreed to fund $20,000 to $25,000 in FF & E from the NSP fund.
