CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
PARKS, TRAILS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING
TUESDAY, JULY 26, 2022, 6:30 PM
ARDEN HILLS CITY HALL
CALL MEETING TO ORDER
Chair Marie Hinton called the July 26, 2022 meeting of the Parks, Trails, and Recreation
Committee to order at 6:30 p.m.
MEMBERS PRESENT: Chair Marie Hinton, Committee Members Paul Beggin, Kristine Poelzer,
Jill Anderson, Dan Dietz, Mark Kelliher, Kerri Seemann, and Council Liaison Steve Scott
OTHERS PRESENT: Staff Liaison Joe Vaughan, and members of the public: Brynlee Pike,
Joelle Tourdot, Melissa Wagner, and Ava Wagner
ABSENT: Committee Members Suzanne McGaugh, Micah Kiernan, and Tim Nelson
1. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Chair Hinton asked to add the pollinator policy to item 4A, and Committee Member Poelzer asked
to have information about the cancelled summer camp to Item 5.
A motion was made by Committee Member Kelliher and seconded by Committee Member
Dietz to approve the agenda as amended. Motion passed unanimously.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A.May 17, 2022 PTRC Minutes
A motion was made by Committee Member Kelliher and seconded by Committee Member
Poelzer to approve the May 17, 2022 PTRC Minutes. Motion passed unanimously.
Girl Scouts Silver Project
Resident Melissa Wagner said a group of Girls Scouts are hoping to complete a Silver project that
helps their community and requires 50 hours of work per person. They would like to create a
pollinator garden at Johanna Marsh park. They have their own funds and would have parents
involved. The garden they would like to build would be approximately 10 feet by 6 feet.
DRAFT
Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes July 26, 2022

Ms. Pike explained they would plant a variety of pollinator friendly plants so there would be
different things blooming at different times of the season. She listed some of the flowers they were
considering.
Ms. Wagner said they would have to cut sod but no trees, there is currently no plan to put a fence
around the garden.
Committee Member Poelzer suggested they research what plants might be deer and rabbit
resistant.
Chair Hinton asked if they would maintain the garden.
Ms. Wagner responded that they would maintain it for a couple of years. The hope is that it will
fill in and not need much weeding. She said it would be nice to get wood chips or mulch from the
city.
Committee Member Dietz said he could give them some guidance from what has been done at
Floral Park if they would like to meet him there.
Committee Member Kelliher asked what will happen to the garden maintenance once the Girl
Scouts are no longer taking care of it.
Ms. Wagner replied that the hope is that it will be done installing this fall and after that it would
be community service hours by the Girl Scouts.
Chair Hinton explained that PTRC is an advisory committee to the Council.
Council Liaison Scott said it would probably be coordinated with Parks and Rec.
Ms. Wagner said she would like guidance as to where they might like the garden to be placed, she
thought it would be good to add on to an existing garden.
Staff Liaison Vaughan said he will bring it up to the Public Works Director and Assistant Public
Works Director to get their thoughts and next steps.
Council Liaison Scott asked if he could get a project summary and photos so they can get
recognition from the Council.
A motion was made by Committee Member Kelliher and seconded by Committee Member
Poelzer to acknowledge the pollinator project at Johanna Marsh. Motion passed
unanimously.
The committee requested before and after photos and thanked the Scouts for their proposal.

3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A.Trail Projects Update
Staff Liaison Vaughan stated the Old Snelling Avenue trail has been paved, crews are restoring
the green area around the site and the project should be complete by the end of August. The Lake
Johanna Boulevard trail project open house was well attended, but there is no funding at his time
and it is not programmed into the County budget. Staff is working on a cooperative agreement
with the County to construct the Mounds View High School trail in 2023, not all funding needed
has been acquired. The engineering consultant is still updating the feasibility study on the Old
Highway 10 trail from Lake Valentine Road to Highway 96. The Parkshore trail and exercise
equipment construction should begin in August. Crack sealing and fog sealing on existing trails is
scheduled to begin August 8.
4. NEW BUSINESS
A.Habitat Restoration Proposals
Chair Hinton said Committee Member Seemann had worked on the proposed restoration projects
as shown in the memo.
Committee Member Seemann said she has plants from her yard that are ready to be planted.
Committee Member Kelliher asked if tree funds could be used for shrubs. He thought he plan
looked great.
Committee Member Beggin said he was assuming Committee Member Seemann wasn’t going to
take on the maintenance of these areas by herself.
Chair Hinton asked if the city would be able to water the plants.
Staff Liaison Vaughan said they city doesn’t typically use the water trucks to water plants.
Committee Member Dietz said at Floral Park they have water barrels that the city will fill when
they are empty.
Staff Liaison Vaughan commented that they have volunteers from businesses in town that could
help with the projects. The City Council will have to approve the projects and funding.
Council Liaison Scott said it would probably be discussed at a work session and then added as a
consent item to an agenda.
Committee Member Seemann stated that she gets most of her plants from Landscape Alternatives
and they may offer a bulk discount to the city.
Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes July 26, 2022
Page 4
A motion was made by Committee Member Beggin and seconded by Committee Member
Dietz to approve the proposed habitat restoration projects put forth by Committee Member
Seemann and to bring it forward to the City Council.
Chair Hinton mentioned that she sent a pollinator policy put together by Committee Member
Seemann to the committee members and recommended they discuss it at the next meeting.
Committee Member Kelliher felt there would be monitoring on the City’s part and he wondered
if these items on the policy were things that could easily be incorporated into staff’s workload.
Staff Liaison Vaughan said there are challenges because there isn’t a separate parks department
with time dedicated to parks, or during a year with fewer seasonal employees.
Committee Member Kelliher commented that if there aren’t resources to do some of the things
on the policy, he felt they would be ill advised move forward with it.
Chair Hinton said Council would have to look at it at a work session to see if they felt it was
feasible. The committee will discuss at next month’s meeting.
B.Park Survey
Chair Hinton said in May they talked about a park survey that would be available via a QR code
in the parks. She asked for questions the committee would like to see asked.
Committee Member Poelzer suggested how often they use the park and would they recommend
the park to others. They might want to ask the number of people with them.
Committee Member Anderson proposed what do you like about the park and what could be
improved in the park.
Committee Member Beggin thought it might be important to ask the ages of the people visiting
the park. He also thought they could add a scale of 1-5 to some of the questions.
Staff Liaison Vaughan said the Council would probably want to see the questions before the
survey goes live.
Chair Hinton added that if they were going to use a single QR code they would need to ask what
park they were at.
Committee Member Anderson was concerned that only using a QR code may exclude some
people from completing the survey.
Staff Liaison Vaughan said they could do a Facebook post with the link to the survey, possibly
something on the website.
Chair Hinton suggested they also put the link to the survey on the signs in the parks.
Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes July 26, 2022
Page 5
A motion was made by Chair Hinton and seconded by Committee Member Deitz to have staff
move forward with creating a QR code to use in the parks and other places to facilitate a
parks survey. Motion passed 6-1.
C.Website Request Tracker
Staff Liaison Vaughan stated that residents go to the City website to report a concern. In the
Public Works section it could be something such as a parks or facility maintenance concern, or a
tree inspection. When a concern is reported it is directly routed to the Public Works staff, who
create a work order for the appropriate staff to complete.
Committee Member Poelzer said the process works smoother if you have an account set up. She
felt the thing that stops people from reporting is the number of blank spots on the form, however
not every blank needs to be filled in to make a report, as most information can be added in the
comments. You get an automatic email response saying your concern was submitted and staff gets
back to you to say what was done about your concern.
Committee Member Dietz was curious about the volume of request tracker submittals.
Staff Liaison Vaughan said he wasn’t sure as he was only forwarded concerns having to do with
recreation, but he could find out that information.
D.Volunteer Update
Committee Member Poelzer said the process is working well and staff has been very responsive
in getting information to the volunteers and organizing with other staff.
Chair Hinton asked if there were enough projects to give to volunteers.
Staff Liaison Vaughan said he is always open to ideas for volunteers, and committee members
could create lists as they are walking through their specific parks. For instance, he was thankful to
have a list about what needed to be done at Floral Park when the group from Kansas City needed a
last minute project.
Committee Member Poelzer said with a list she could also get in touch with her contacts to
suggest potential projects for their groups. She noted there are two forms that need to be
completed by anyone that volunteers. She suggested that committee members keep their forms on
file with staff.
Staff Liaison Vaughan highlighted recent volunteers from Boston Scientific, Rolling Hills Church
in Kansas City along with resident volunteer George Kruse, and a church group from Washington
state.
Chair Hinton suggested that volunteers receive a safety vest so others could see they were official
volunteers, as a token of appreciation and possibly for liability purposes.
Parks, Trails & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes July 26, 2022
Page 6
Committee Member Dietz said about six years ago volunteers at Floral Park received one from
the city and they wear them when they work in the park. He felt a shirt or hat were good ideas, or
something for them to wear while they are in the park.
Committee Member Poelzer thought the Arden Hills logo should be on the back.
Council Liaison Scott thought the logo and the word “volunteer” should be on the shirt.
A motion was made by Committee Member Dietz and seconded by Committee Member
Poelzer to request reflective vests with the city logo and “volunteer” on them to be
distributed to volunteers. Motion passed unanimously.
E.Park and Trail Tour Recap
Chair Hinton asked if there was anything further they wanted to share with City Council
regarding the park and trail tour they took on June 19.
Committee Member Kelliher asked if there had been any research done on a cistern pump.
Staff Liaison Vaughn said the Assistant Public Works Director had requested a quote but hadn’t
received it yet.
Committee Member Beggin said getting garbage can covers has been effective.
5. REPORTS
Committee Member Poelzer said she had received a complaint from a family that had been
notified the playground program wasn’t going to be held one day because there wasn’t enough
staff, and the next day they were notified that it was completely cancelled. This caused day care
problems for those who were relying on the program. She wondered how many families or
children were affected by the cancellation.
Staff Liaison Vaughan clarified that this was in regard to the afternoon playground program at
Hazelnut Park. There were 30 kids enrolled in the program with only one staff member available.
There had been four staff that were planning to work afternoons. During staff training he was told
by three of the four that they had taken other positions and wouldn’t be working the afternoon
program. He tried to find alternatives to make it work, but ultimately, he just didn’t have enough
staff.
Committee Member Kelliher asked if volunteer chaperones could be considered.
Staff Liaison Vaughan didn’t know the answer to that question.
Council Liaison Scott noted that the Bark and Rec event was Saturday at Perry Park.

Attachments
Attachment A – Draft Pollinator Policy
POLLINATOR PROTECTION RESOLUTION
Promoting a healthy environment for pollinators, wildlife, and people.
WHEREAS:Local food production can help improve the health and food security of Arden Hills
residents and insect pollination is an essential component of local food production; and
WHEREAS:Pollinators–bees, wasps, flies, butterflies, moths, beetles, etc.--are also an essential
component of a healthy ecosystem; For example, a pair of chickadees requires ~6-9,000 caterpillars to
feed a single clutch of young; and
WHEREAS:Many native pollinators are adapted to depend on specific plant species; Approximately
25% of native bees are specialists–collecting pollen from only very specific host plants; Many species of
butterflies and moths are also dependent on specific species or groups of native grasses and flowers as
host plants for their larvae; and
WHEREAS:Native pollinators (internationally and in Minnesota) are imperiled including the federally
endangered Poweshiek skipperling butterfly, Karner blue butterfly, Rusty-patched bumble bee, and
federally threatened Dakota skipper butterfly, Yellow-banded bumble bee, and Monarch butterfly. In
addition to federally listed species, Minnesota has 8 state-listed endangered pollinator species, 1
threatened, 10 species of special concern, and an additional 19 non-listed species in greatest conservation
need; and
WHEREAS:Research shows multiple interacting causes are contributors to the severe decline of
pollinator populations including parasites, disease, habitat and biodiversity loss, climate change, exposure
to pesticides, and synergistic effects of herbicides, fungicides and insecticides; and
WHEREAS:Bees and other pollinators became weakened due to lack of nutrition and loss of habitat
since WWII when industrial agriculture mono-cropping and prolific use of pesticides became prominent;
and
WHEREAS:Turf lawns dominate urban landscapes and provide no food or habitat for pollinators, and
both urban and rural habitats are crucial for pollinator survival; and
WHEREAS:Ideal pollinator-friendly habitat (A) Is comprised of mostly native wildflowers, grasses,
vines, shrubs, and trees blooming in succession throughout the growing season to provide diverse and
abundant nectar and pollen; (B) is free to nearly-free of pesticides, as many pesticides can harm
pollinators and/or their habitat; (C) comprises undisturbed spaces (leaf and brush piles, unmown fields or
field margins, fallen trees and other dead wood) for nesting and overwintering; and (D) provides
connectivity between habitat areas to support pollinator movement and resilience; and
WHEREAS:Landscaping with native plants adapted to local growing conditions requires no fertilizer
and only requires watering during the first year or two (or during periods of extreme drought after they
are established); Many native plants have deep root systems that make them better able to handle
drought; and
WHEREAS:The Worldwide Integrated Assessment, a review of 1,121 studies conducted by the Task
Force on Systemic Pesticides, plus the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s Special Registration Review
Attachment A
of Neonicotinoids,both found that bees and other pollinators are threatened by exposure to pesticides,in
particular systemic insecticides especially neonicotinoids; and
WHEREAS:The Task Force on Systemic Pesticides is comprised of 29 independent scientists
commissioned by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)and after four years of
analysis of 800 peer-reviewed reports (not industry funded)of systemic pesticides,neonicotinoids and
fipronil found clear evidence of harm sufficient to call on all governments around the world to
immediately regulate and restrict the use of the systemic insecticides especially neonicotinoids; and
WHEREAS:There is concern about the new systemic insecticides the pesticide industry will continue to
develop that may be as dangerous or more dangerous than the current systemic insecticides such as
neonicotinoids; and
WHEREAS:The Task Force on Systemic Pesticides in their Worldwide Integrated Assessment Report
encourages farmers and land managers to replace pesticide use with sustainable growing techniques
which can reduce risk to pollinators by helping to diversify the landscape and make use of ecological
processes as part of food production and land management; and
WHEREAS:The United States EPA and Minnesota Department of Agriculture recommends increased
use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM),an ecosystem-based strategy that focuses on long-term
prevention of pests to mitigate harmful environmental impacts and protects pollinator and human health
on private and government managed lands; and
WHEREAS:We find these actions to be in the public interest and demonstrates the City’s commitment
to a healthy environment for people and pollinators.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
The City of Arden Hills shall promote healthy environments including food sources,clean water and
habitat for pollinators through existing programs and new opportunities,on private and government-
managed lands.
The City shall conduct an inventory of all pesticides being used by the city and its contractors.This
inventory will be reviewed and updated regularly.
The City shall develop and implement an Integrated Pest Management (IPM)plan to foster sustainable
and least toxic methods and pose the least possible risk to pollinators,people,resources and the
environment.
IPM principles include:Inspection and monitoring for pests and plant health,forecasting and timing
weather,setting reasonable thresholds that allow for some plant damage and pests,cultural controls,
biological controls,and bio rational controls.Sustainable land management embraces:building soil
health, conserving biodiversity, restoring native vegetation, and promoting composting.
The City,including its contractors,shall take immediate steps to eliminate the use of systemic
insecticides,including neonicotinoids on trees,public property,green spaces and parks including the
plants and plant products they purchase.The city shall also encourage citizens,community and
businesses to do the same on public and private lands.
The City shall restore,enhance or plant new habitat in appropriate locations–including stormwater
management ponds and large land areas that are currently turf grass–using native plants that provide
succession blooming,aiming for pollen and nectar sources for pollinators throughout growing seasons.It
shall also encourage private developers to incorporate pollinator-friendly plantings into required
landscaping.
The city shall encourage and allow residents to participate in pollinator conservation programs and
gardening on public and private lands.
The City shall appoint a person to coordinate actions of this resolution to include public awareness
program,habitat enhancement plan,Integrated Pest Management plan,communication across
departments, and a brief annual report.
The City shall track (by square footage and/or acreage)the area of pollinator habitat created or enhanced,
annually.
The City shall support efforts to educate the broader community about the pollinator protection actions it
has taken,the importance of creating and maintaining pollinator-friendly habitat,and resources for
residents and business/property-owners,including lists of recommended locally-native plants
(wildflowers,grasses/sedges/rushes,vines,shrubs,and trees)and a list of local suppliers for those
species.
The City shall transmit copies of this resolution to the Minnesota Department of Agriculture,The
Governor of Minnesota,Local State Representatives and Senators,U.S.Representatives and Senators,
U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
