Background and Rationale
body
On December 13, 2016, Ramsey County and the city of New Brighton entered into a cooperative agreement relating to the improvement of facilities in Lions Park which is located within Long Lake Regional Park. The agreement was reviewed annually for the first five years to clarify or change maintenance and operations procedure. It was amended on March 10, 2020, to adjust the maintenance and operation responsibilities that are shared with the city of New Brighton for Lions Park.
The city of New Brighton has approached Ramsey County Parks and Recreation department with the intention of installing electric vehicle charging stations to the benefit of both parties in the shared Lions Park parking lot which is on county property and is part of Long Lake Regional Park. The city of New Brighton will be responsible for the maintenance and any capital improvements for vehicle charging stations.
