PARR DEDICATION ORDINANCE The Commission reviewed the revised Park Dedication Ordinance prepared by City Attorney Jerry Filla. There were no objections to the revision. 1991 PARR DEVELOPMENT Chairman Sand informed the Committee on the Council April 15 work session. He stated that Council- members were concerned about a change in focus on . improving internal pathways over interconnecting trails. 1991 park improvements were budgeted at $56, 300 . Council wanted a specific list of prioritized park improvements that could be accomplished within the budgeted amount. Council also wanted prioritized additional park improvements with suggestions for funding the additional improvements and rationale for exceeding the budgeted amount. Council would like a prioritized list of long-range park planning and associated costs for obtaining land, maintenance and personnel. Council would like a long-term projection for managing the Park Fund. Emphasis in keeping the Fund Balance and using the interest for park improvements. Buckley presented the committee a proposed 5 year park development plan to review. He stated that his priority would be #1 - Complete the color coating and overlay $14 , 804 #2 - Repair hockey light and trail benches 5, 000 #3 - Perimeter Trail Cummings and Hazelnut 45 , 777 $65 , 581 • #4 - Perimeter Trail Floral $23 , 268 Park Minutes, April 23 , 1991 Page 2 The committee thoroughly discussed stewardship � of a P park fund (keeping principal intact and just spending interest trail development � �• nt and P paving versus natural surface; internal trails/interconnecting trails; tennis court and basketball courts. Alan Montgomery moved/seconded by Megan Ricke, that Parks Committee recommend that 1991 improvements include color coating/overlay, repair hockey lights and trail benches, three perimeter trails, for a total of $88,849. Floral perimeter could be scheduled in 1992 if Council was uncomfortable in spending the $88,849 . Mark Labine moved a friendly amendment that the Park Committee prepare a financial plan that would include state grants, corporate donations, private donations, etc. when discussing the 1992 park improvement budget, Megan Ricke seconded the amendment. Motion and amendment carried 7-1. Dave Sand read Joe Peterson ' s letter regarding the sale of his lot off Fernwood cul-de-sac. The lot is part of the stormwater holding pond area and appears to be unbuildable. The north border is dry and could be used as a west access to Ingerson. Mark Labine moved/seconded by Megan Ricke, that Buckley visit with the adjacent property owner, Harold Alexander and Mary Lou Ceran to determine their interest in purchasing the lot for wetland and the possibility of an easement for Ingerson Park access. Property • appraisal should be done to determine the value of the lot and whether the lot is buildable. Motion carried.

Registra ion is not complete for these programs; therefore, total number of partic- ipants and fees can not be determined. **The registration income is the total amount taken in from registration fees . It is not possible at this time to figure total profit since we are billed at the end of the school year for building use. These fees tend to vary throughout the year. • • 1991 Spring & Summer Programs New Programs Intermediate Ball Skills Pee-Wee Tennis Art in the Park Series - 5 week program (#1-Candlemaking, #2-Noodle Beach, #3-Enchanted Castles, #4-Fashionable Fish, #5-Christmas in July Ceramics) Babysitting "Super Sitter" Beginning Acting/Improvisation Hershey Track.

Expanded Afterschool Programs The increased number of mothers joining the work force leaves many children home alone both before and after school . Parents are looking for programs that would be a form of supplementary day care. At this time, the YMCA is offer- ing programs both before and after school in a day care type fashion. I don't feel we need to duplicate this; but instead, enhance the options available to parents . I feel we can offer "specialty" classes lasting between 1 & 2 hours beginning immediately after the regular school day. A. Elementary Schools Classes offered during the 1990-91 school year were a huge success. The most popular class being Sports Hour for grades K-2 . Future programming will include similar classes which were offered this past year as well as these possibilities: Drawing, Karate, Clown- ing, Kids Around the World, Sport Specific classes for grades 4 & 5 (wrestling, basketball, volleyball, Isfloor hockey) , Cross Country Ski lessons, Knitting or Crocheting. • B . Middle Schools Previously, all programs were run by the School Dis- trict . With the cuts being made, programs are being eliminated. The surrounding Parks & Recreation De- partments have been approached by the District #621 Principals to discuss future programming options . The Principals see an increased need to offer pro- grams immediately after school to students who other- wise go home to an empty house. We will be meeting with them in the future to discuss possible programs. Some ideas I have include: Dramatics, Drawing, Magic, Cooking, Woodworking, Karate. The residents of Arden Hills attend Chippewa Middle School . Pro- grams would be a joint effort of Shoreview and Arden Hills Recreation Departments. Some supplementary funding may be available through the School District. II. Special Event Programming One of the major trends in the recreation field today is in offering an increased number of special events. These types of activities range from holiday craft classes to field trips on school days off. A. Holiday_ Classes • I plan to offer a special event class corresponding to all major holidays. Some examples would include: Halloween Cookies, Valentines Day Ceramics, Christ- mas Crafts & Saturday with Santa . These types of classes are very popular in other cities and have filled up quickly when I have offered them in Arden Hills. The residents want these programs and they are a good public relations tool . The drawback to many special events is the fact that they are very expensive to run. Programs such as a "Saturday with Santa" requires some type of supplementary funding. Alternative sources are being researched. B . Vacation Events I did offer a Skate/Swim activity on February 21st during Winter Break. The activities took place at the Shoreview Ice Arena and Shoreview Community Ctr. There were 44 children who participated and a good time was had by all . I plan to offer more one-day event/trips when children have vacation from school . Possibilities include both Cross Country and Downhill ski trips, swimming, skating and bowling events . III. Facilities Barrier .My biggest problem in programming continues to be the lack of facilities. The summer months are not as much of • a problem since the parks in Arden Hills are adequate fox- the types of programs I have run so far. However, I con- tinue to run into barriers whenever I plan to offer classes the remaining 9 months of the year. • A. Schools 1 . Limited space availability 2 . User fees are high 3 . No security - we can be bumped out in an hour's notice B . Churches 1 . Limited space 2 . Rental fees are high C. Fire Station 1 . Limited accessibility D. City Hall 1 . Limited accessibility 2 . Space availability The cost of using facilities such as the school forces program fees to increase and overall profits to decrease. With adequate facilities, the programming possibilities would increase tre- mendously. IV. Along with the increase in number and types of programs offered, I intend to work on updating the following: Job • Descriptions, Policies and Procedures, Staff Training Manual and Playground Manual . • ?LiR?f ► ws=zilc�ii"M-r'.—.�:..��:.:!.^���?:i�c�'�'��...� � �=`-:"•-�s'z�i��-'.-�i�:S"�.. ,.

Award bid to Midwest Paving for $71,874.25 (delete Valentine Hills School Path, $3 , 667 . 50) . Midwest Asphalt bid was $75, 541. 50. RATIONALE - Arden Hills residents enjoy the outdoors. They want and will use trails, sidewalks for passive recreation. Trails placed very high on three citizen surveys. - Development this year would construct perimeter paths in three parks, Cummings, Floral and Hazelnut. - Construction this summer would be economically sound. This would take advantage of the low bids received for these projects. - The tennis courts and basketball courts would be in good condition for active recreation. FINANCING PARR DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS INTO THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY TJ Swanson was very helpful in preparing six models with income and expense scenarios for using the Park Fund to finance park • improvements into 2000 plus. The data from this study indicates: Interest from the park fund should be the primary resource for financing park developments and improvements. The park fund balance should be maintained at $500, 000 or above. This will provide interest payments of between $30, 000 to $40, 000 annually, depending on the interest rate. Park dedication payments will provide some revenue over the next five years. Receipts will be $33 , 573 ( 191) ; $23 , 400 ( 192) ; $6, 800 ( 193) ; $5, 150 ( 194) ; and $825 ( 195) . Substantial new revenues could be received from future development of the George Reiling residential property, Round Lake industrial property and the Lexington Avenue Industrial Park. New ways for financing park improvements should be actively researched, i.e. , state and federal grants, gift book developed for corporate and individuals to donate, charitable gambling revenues which was a major resource for park development in past years. 1989 income was $42 , 611; 1990 was $10, 000. 1991 revenue from charitable gambling is being used to offset the loss of state funding. First quarter payments this year were $25, 600. • 1991 PARR IMPROVEMENT BIDS COUNCIL ACTION OPTIONS Cummings Colorcoat Tennis & BB Ct. 3, 780 Perimeter Trail 21, 500 Floral Colorcoat Tennis 2, 340 Overlay BB Ct. 1, 786 Hazelnut Perimeter Trail 17, 046 Sampson Overlay BB Ct. 1, 248 Valentine Overlay BB Ct. 872 Freeway Overlay BB Ct. 1, 248 Midwest Bid Subtotal $49,821 Hockey Light Repair 2, 565 Trail Benches 500 Park Imp.

MINUTES APRIL 23, 1991 CALL TO ORDER The regular meeting of the Arden Hills Park and Recreation Commission was called to order at 7: 35 PM by Chairman David Sand. ROLL CALL Present: Chairman Sand, Mary Gillies, Mark Labine, Mark Magers, Don Messerly, Dave Moberg, Alan Montgomery, Megan Ricke. Absent: Keith Enrooth, Pattie Green, Carol Johnson. Also present: Mayor Tom Sather, Cynthia Severtson, and John Buckley. APPROVE Minutes of the February 26 meeting were approved as MINUTES mailed. PARK DEDICATION ORDINANCE The Commission reviewed the revised Park Dedication Ordinance prepared by City Attorney Jerry Filla. There were no objections to the revision. 1991 PARK DEVELOPMENT Chairman Sand informed the Committee on the Council April 15 work session. He stated that Council- members were concerned about a change in focus on improving internal pathways over interconnecting trails. 1991 park improvements were budgeted at $56, 300. Council wanted a specific list of prioritized park improvements that could be accomplished within the budgeted amount. Council also wanted prioritized additional park improvements with suggestions for funding the additional improvements and rationale for exceeding the budgeted amount. Council would like a prioritized list of long-range park planning and associated costs for obtaining land, maintenance and personnel. Council would like a long-term projection for managing the Park Fund. Emphasis in keeping the Fund Balance and using the interest for park improvements. Buckley presented the committee a proposed 5 year park development plan to review. He stated that his priority would be #1 - Complete the color coating and overlay $14 , 804 #2 - Repair hockey light and trail benches 5, 000 #3 - Perimeter Trail Cummings and Hazelnut 45, 777 $65, 581 #4 - Perimeter Trail Floral $23 , 268 i Park Minutes, April 23 , 1991 Page 2 The committee thoroughly discussed stewardship of park fund (keeping principal intact and just spending interest) ; trail development and paving versus natural surface; internal trails/interconnecting trails; tennis court and basketball courts. Alan Montgomery moved/seconded by Megan Ricke, that Parks Committee recommend that 1991 improvements include color coating/overlay, repair hockey lights and trail benches, three perimeter trails, for a total of $88,849. Floral perimeter could be scheduled in 1992 if Council was uncomfortable in spending the $88,849. Mark Labine moved a friendly amendment that the Park Committee prepare a financial plan that would include state grants, corporate donations, private donations, etc. when discussing the 1992 park improvement budget, Megan Ricke seconded the amendment. Motion and amendment carried 7-1. Dave Sand read Joe Peterson' s letter regarding the sale of his lot off Fernwood cul-de-sac. The lot is part of the stormwater holding pond area and appears to be unbuildable. The north border is dry and could be used as a west access to Ingerson. Mark Labine moved/seconded by Megan Ricke, that Buckley visit with the adjacent property owner, Harold Alexander and Mary Lou Ceran to determine their interest in purchasing the lot for wetland and the possibility of an easement for Ingerson Park access. Property appraisal should be done to determine the value of the lot and whether the lot is buildable. Motion carried. GATEWAY GARDENS Buckley reported that Eagle Scout Bob Billman will be coordinating the planting and maintenance of the gateway gardens this summer. Letters were sent to businesses, churches, service clubs, to recruit volunteers to help the scouts maintain the gardens. No volunteers to date. Property owners along County Road E are very enthusiastic about continuing the flower beds this year. Saturday, May 18 is the big planting day for the beds. ARBOR DAY Over 50 boy scouts/girl scouts have expressed interest in planting trees and cleaning parks on Arbor Day, May 4 . PROGRAM RPT Severtson reported that spring and summer program fliers are in the mail and passed out through the schools. Program interest and registrations have been very strong. ADJOURN Meeting adjourned at 10: 15 PM. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS • MEMORANDUM DATE: April 12 , 1991 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: John T. Buckley, Parks Director SUBJECT: Park Development ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Comprehensive Plan for the Arden Hills park system was written in 1973/74 with input from City Council, Parks and Recreation committee and Parks Director John Buckley. The main objective of the Plan was to coordinate the acquisition and development of parks in each neighborhood within the City. The standards used to develop the City park system were: parks be located in each neighborhood within 1/3 mile of homes. develop a pedestrian trail system throughout the City that • would enable individual mobility without using busy streets. The general guidelines for the development of neighborhood parks is outlined as Exhibit A. The acquisition of the park and trail system has been completed with just two exceptions: acquisition of more park land in the Round Lake neighborhood. acquisition of the last section or tract connecting Royal Hills Drive to Colleen Avenue (John McClung property) . ARDEN HILLS PEDESTRIAN TRAILS Arden Hills ' residents have placed a high value on the City' s trail system. This value was demonstrated by the response from three City-wide surveys . 1973 - 73% of respondents ranked trails and natural areas as ist or 2nd in their priorities. 1985 - 87% of respondents stated they have used the parks/trails 1990 - 73% of respondents stated they frequently/occasionally use the parks and trails. • -2- • The trail surface paved versus grass/wood chips has been a real concern of the Parks Committee. The natural surfaces are certainly more economical, however, paved trails attract a large variety of users. The new paved Hazelnut Trail is a good example. Hazelnut Trail is getting triple the use since being paved. The trails serve as the "sidewalks" for Arden Hills residents. Young people, families, and seniors use the trails for walking, jogging, biking, and pushing baby strollers. The last section of trails that should actively be negotiated is the public shoreline around Round Lake. The shoreline is presently under the jurisdiction of Federal Fish and Wildlife Department. Every effort should be made to secure the use of the shoreline for a public trail around the lake. TRAIL DEVELOPMENT FUNDING Minnesota Dept. of Trade and Economic Development will have approximately $1 million that will be distributed for outdoor development. 50% matching grant applications are due before September, 1991, for 1992 grant monies. Arden Hills should apply for grant money for trail development. • ATHLETIC FIELDS Arden Hills has experienced an urgent need for additional athletic fields for youth and adult programs. This need becomes more critical with School District 621 ' s sale of Reeder and Johanna Elementary and Johanna Jr. High Schools. The City lost the use of four tennis courts, two baseball fields, six softball fields two soccer fields, and one indoor swimming pool. The dramatic interest and growth in Youth Sports programs are demanding more athletic facilities. Over 1, 000 registered for Little Lakes Little League; over 400 for Babe Ruth League, two teams for American Legion baseball and over 1, 200 registered for the North Suburban Soccer Association. Arden Hills children make up 1/4 to 1/3 of these registrations. The City' s T-ball, softball and soccer programs are steadily growing with registrations and we are in need of more facilities. OPTIONS FOR ADDITIONAL ATHLETIC FIELDS Arsenal surplus property has received the most attention for a site to build an athletic complex. The results of the environmental study (this spring or summer) could determine whether this site will be available for development. If this property is not available, other options to consider are development areas in • Hazelnut, Cummings, Floral Park and the Chatham Open area. -3- The City could also negotiate a joint development contract with Bethel College to construct athletic fields on Bethel property on the west side of Old Hwy. 10 just north of the Soo Line tracks . Two other options include a short term solution to develop City property on Highway 96 just east of the Public Works Garage and City property in the Round Lake area, as well as to negotiate the purchase of the Barry O 'Meara property west of Hazelnut Park. FUNDING FOR ATHLETIC FIELDS Monies for the acquisition of land and field development would come from the Park Fund Reserve. Arden Hills has provided softball fields for many local companies. If a site were secured, Arden Hills companies such as Control Data, Land-O-Lakes, MSI, CPI and others should be contacted to "sponsor" a field. PARR MAINTENANCE Spring, Summer, and Fall are hectic times for maintenance in the Parks Dept. Maintenance commitments are: mowing and trimming parks • _ water and prune trees, particularly new plantings mow and clean sidewalks and boulevards - dragging, lining and general maintenance on 12 ball fields, one baseball field, three soccer fields and 9 tennis courts water and general maintenance at 9 gateway gardens Five seasonal employees will be hired this summer to assist our three permanent parks crew members. An additional permanent employee will have to be considered if or when new responsibilities are added such as an athletic complex, intensifying the maintenance of trails and pathways. • 1991 PROPOSED PARR DEVELOPMENT Amount Budgeted: $56, 300 for Park Development.

Basketball court surfaces at Freeway, Sampson and Valentine are very rough with cracked paving. Overlays will bring these courts up to safe playing conditions. The park crew will color coat these areas next season. Priority II ** Arden Hills residents have placed a very high value for the off- road pedestrian trails. Perimeter paved trails in Cummings, Floral and Hazelnut will attract a new group of park users, young and old (walkers, joggers, bikers, strollers) . Priority III *** Ingerson tennis court and picnic shelter will attract a new group of park users. Paved pathways will provide functional, attractive routes to the parks to softball field, and picnic shelter.

Highway 96 Arden Hill%j MN 5511ki? Dear Mr. duckloy, I was sent a copy of the February 26, 1991 meeting of the Parks and Recreation Commission where the Ingerson Park improvemen0i were discussed. One of the agenda items was a west access to the park. I own the lot which goes from the cul-de-sac on rernwood Court to the southwest corner of the park. 1 had a "for sale" sign on the • lot for %everal years which I took down last summer when I thought the lot was sold. Since that sale did not go through, I am still interested in swiling the lot- Before I list the lot with a realbor, I am inquiring if the viliage and/or the adjacent property owners are interest in acquiring the lot. I understand the adjacent property owners would prefer the lot, not be developed. If the lot were split (and a part sold to each adjacent owner) such that it would not bw buildOU10, and theta,, city acquired title or an easement for the west access it wouid appear everyone' s objectives would be satistled. The adjacent property owners could continue to enjoy the open space, the village would have the desired west access to Ingerson park and I would sell the lot. To allow you to deturmino what interest there is in thi% idea, I will not list the lot with a realhor. until June 1 , 1991- Please, contact me with any questions. Y"' J oz, er ph T.
