Outdoor Recreation Plan County Planner Ellen Denzer reviewed a draft of the St. Croix County Outdoor Recreation Plan with the Committee. Denzer stated she has met with Grant twice regarding the draft of the recreation plan and still have a few areas that need some agreement between them. A review with the Committee of the objectives,priorities, the development of a web site, the need for new brochures and tax levy funds were discussed. The Committee would like to see a time phased plan, priorities for the phasing, prices and funding for those phases of the projects. The need to take remedial action for funding of future maintenance of County owned parks so this does not happen in the future is of utmost importance.
