Summary

Following a Regional Park designation, Park Director Joseph Tart rehired HKGi to prepare a master plan and outlined priority projects—including a potential bathroom complex—for future grant applications.

Joseph Tart, Park Director, told the Chisago County Park Board that Fish Lake Park has been granted Regional Park status by the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission and that he has rehired consultant HKGi to prepare a master plan to support future grant submissions. Tart reviewed the park's "wants and needs" and identified infrastructure priorities staff may include in grant applications, including options for a future bathroom complex.

The board did not vote on specific projects at the meeting; Tart said the master plan will inform prioritization for grant applications. The discussion establishes the next step in seeking external funding for Fish Lake improvements and signals staff intent to develop design and cost details before seeking board approvals for individual projects.
