Summary
Council approved a $2,000 contribution from the park and trails fund to the Chisago Lakes Rotary Club's Swedish Immigrant Trail improvement project and endorsed a 'stagecoach' theme for Wyoming's portion; staff said the contribution will pay for a bike rack and mile markers/map updates locally.
The Wyoming City Council approved a $2,000 contribution April 21 to support the Chisago Lakes Rotary Club's regional Swedish Immigrant Trail improvement project and accepted the Park Advisory Commission's recommended 'stagecoach' theme for Wyoming's portion.
City staff explained the countywide project will install custom bike racks, benches, mile markers, historical markers and map updates along the trail and requested each participating city contribute an amount scaled to population and the trail length in their community. Council member questioning focused on what Wyoming specifically would receive for $2,000; staff said the city’s contribution would go toward a custom bike rack and mile markers or map updates locally and that benches were not guaranteed. The Park Advisory Commission recommended a stagecoach design for the city’s installed elements.
The council moved and approved the contribution and theme by voice vote with no recorded opposition. Staff said they would confirm exact local deliverables and quantities with the Rotary and report back to council.
