SUBJ: Park/Trailways Acquisition and Development Fund Amendment,
Transfer of $16,000 of Trailway.Funds from 1995 to 1996;
Chanhassen Pond Park
The 1995 Park/Trailways Acquisition and Development Capital Project Fund included
$16,000 for trailway improvements at Chanhassen Pond Park. The majority of this
investment is to be consumed in the installation of an asphalt trail surface from Laredo
Drive to Sierra Trail.
This route serves multiple roles as a neighborhood connector, a route to school, and as an
access to Chanhassen Pond Park. The attached map depicts the proposed improvements.
The project was initiated in 1995. As work commenced, it was determined that the outlet
structure for the pond should be replaced. Diane Desotelle, the City's Water Resources
Coordinator at the time, directed this work. The outlet structure was funded through
water resources and the labor has been provided by park maintenance staff.
Unfortunately, the time required for shipping and installation of the new culvert and
outlet structure postponed the paving of the trail. Anot her `Minnesota winter set in and
the trail was not paved in 1995.
It is now 1996 and we are ready to pave the trail However, in preparing the 1996 budget,
I failed to transfer the $16,000 into 1996.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the City Council amend the 1996 Park/Trailway Acquisition and
Development Capital Project Fund by adding $16,000 for trailway improvements at
Chanhassen Pond Park.
