The cost est1mates are in the prel1minary stages and it appears that the cost is about $20,000 over the budgeted amount of $75,000. Mangan indicated that this can be recovered br delaying the leg from C.R. 44 north to Hwy 13, and by staff d01ng more of the site preparation and restoration. An additional expense that was unknown was putting the concrete through driveways. This resulted in an additional $7500 on the pro~ect. At this point, the project is still a viable project for th1s summer. Pat Heaney questioned the completion of the Lakefront trail connecting the trail to C.R. 21. Mangan stated that that portion is a priority even over Franklin Trail. The connection has to be made from C.R. 21 to Lakefront Park so that people can have safe access to the trails at Lakefront Park. The completion of that portion will be a separate project due to the Franklin Trail being concrete and the extension of Lakefront Trail being asphalt. The committee agreed that that connection needs to be made. Discussion followed on future development of trails and methods of funding. Doug Berens then introduced Item #4, Recommendation on the grant application. Bill Mangan informed the committee that the City had received a grant totalling $90,000 for the purchase of the McDonald ~roperty.
