Ice Rink Season Review Ms. Olson reviewed the 2008-2009 ice rink season information with the Committee stating the weather was very cooperative. She included the attendance records and compared It to previous year's numbers. Ms. Olson stated Freeway Park was the most utilized this past winter with . 1,698 users. She indicated the public works department would be doing an inspection of all the rinks and preparing a repair punch list that will be presented to Council. Staff did not anticipate any major repairs after the season and was very pleased with the newly renovated warming house at Hazelnut. PARKS, TRAILS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES March 17, 2009 Page 2 of 7 Ms. Olson indicated Councilmember Holden has requested the City research the possibility of utilizing more energy efficient lighting to be used at the ice rinks. She explained an analysis will be completed on this and presented after the information was gathered. Ms. Olson stated staff received a letter from the community with regard to how well the ice rinks are staffed and how pleased they have been with the ice conditions, in particular at Hazelnut Park. Chair Peck questioned how much staff time was spent on the overall management of the ice rinks. Ms. Olson stated this was divided up this year between herself and the Recreation Programmer. Staff time is spent training staff, ice rink inspections, site visits, and responding to staff needs. The majority of the time invested in the rinks was spent by PW clearing and maintaining the ice. — B. Valentine Park Discussion Ms. Olson indicated she would like the Committee to brainstorm options for the future of the park after reviewing the drainage report. She explained this may be discussed again next month with the Valentine Park neighbors included. Mr. Messerly stated the Drainage Report has yet to define indicated sources of floodingprovide or solutions that would reduce or eliminate the flooding. He that the recommendations within the park rearrange the amenities within the park, but that this would not solve the yearly Y flooding. Mr. Messerly reviewed the history of Valentine Park stating drainage the drai e and elevation g of this park needs to be addressed before further amenities would be brought into this area. Mr. Messerly stated the main contributing factor to the flooding was the water level of Lake Valentine. Chair Peck agreed that the park has no way of allowing this water to drain. Mr. Messerly cautioned the City from raising the elevation of this park, as it would flood the adjacent properties. Ms. Olson stated an increase in elevation has been considered while keeping p g in mind the water must stay away from the neighboring residential properties. She reviewed g g p p Page 8 of the drainage report explaining how the elevation would be raised with the use of ponding filtration wetland treatment systems along with the construction of a storm water treatment pond. MOTION: Committee Member Messerly motioned that after reviewing the "Drainage Analysis Report" from Valentine Park dated February 2, 2009 that the PTRC recommend to Council that neither option be implemented since neither address the cause nor abatement of the flooding, and that further study of the flooding and drainage of Lake Valentine be completed; seconded by Committee Member Straumann. PARKS, TRAILS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES March 17, 2009 Page 3 of 7 Further Discussion: Council Liaison Holmes suggested Mr. Messerly meet with the City Engineer ineer to further discuss this issue in detail and offer a history of the park to staff. Chair Peck indicated he was not an engineer but that the concerns raised were valid. He suggested the flooding reasons need to be addressed in conjunction with the p drainage of the ark. Mr. Straumann questioned who was responsible for the lake level. Ms. Olson stated this was the responsibility of the Rice Creek Watershed. Chair Peck questioned if it was possible or several committee members to meet with staff and the engineers. Ms. Olson stated she could arrange a meetingbetween staff, Kris Gi a and Todd � g Hubmer of WSB, Inc. to review this information further. She explained that this would have to be discussed at a staff level first to assure that there were funds available to pay for the engineer's time. Ms. Hilgers suggested the motion be tabled until the meeting was held between staff and the Mr. Messerly and any other interested Committee members. She indicated this would hold the recommendation from proceeding to Council. Ms. Olson stated this item could be reviewed - again next month after meeting with the engineers at which time further recommendations could be made to Council. Ms. Olson questioned which members would like to attend the meeting between staff and the engineers. Committee members Messerly, Peck and Garretson were to be contacted with details about this meeting. Mr. Messerly withdrew his motion and suggested this be further reviewed after the staff meeting with the Engineers and City Staff. C. Project Updates 1. CP Rail Bride Ms. Olson provided an update on the CP Rail Bridge to the Committee. She indicated the Council has directed Bolton & Menk to proceed with the final design in coordination with the railroad with the bridge improvements on the west side. Ms. Olson explained the Council would like to consider other options for the future trail corridor, with a possible bike lane and possible . p pedestrian crossings on both sides of the bridge or shifting the road alignment to allow for more space on the west side. Chair Peck stated he would be in favor of a bike lane and that a pedestrian crossing on both sides p g would greatly benefit the residents- "I . Council Liaison Holmes stated afters speaking with Ramsey p g y County t ff road bike paths anymore. AG Ida 1�76( W PARKS, TRAILS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES March 17, 2009 Page 4 of 7 Ms. Olson stated this item will move forward for final design giving g ivin staff time to meet with Ramsey County further. She indicated she would report back to this committee once the designs were complete where a recommendation could be made to Council. Chair Peck requested he be notified the date and time of this meeting. 2. Safe Routes to School Ms. Olson updated the Committee on the Safe Routes to School information. She noted Ramsey County Parks and Recreation has agreed to provide a crosswalk for this project. Ms. Olson . P J indicated this was a $15,000 donation and would greatly benefit the completion of the route but that additional funding sources were still needed. She explained she has also suggested this g project be completed in phases to allow for the $175,000 to be used in 2009 with the completion date some time in 2010 allowing the City to apply for additional ants,while continuing to work . � g with Ramsey County. Ms. Olson indicated Jody Ungers was very supportive of this project and stated additional P funding could be available in 2010 for the culvert. She explained she would be bringing this item back to the Council in April for further discussion after additional information has been gathered. MOTION: Committee Member Straumann motioned to communicate to Ramsey Y Count that the Arden Hills PTRC supports the Mounds View High School trail as an extension of the Elmer L. Anderson Memorial Trail and that it be moved up on the priority list within their Master Plan, seconded by Committee Member Scott. The motion carried unanimously. D. Trail Shmne Ms. Olson stated Trail Signage was suggested by the PTRC a number of g ears ago but has not Y been completed due to numerous trails that were still under construction. The PTRC has been in favor of placing signage on the Elmer L. Anderson Memorial Trail to signify the fact it was a Y memorial trail. Ms. Olson stated the Council has requested a trail signage a proposal from the PTRC in order for this item to proceed, and that the Elmer L. Anderson trail would be a great lace to start. She . p indicated a synopsis was completed for the trail signage with a budget of$15,000 for 2009 and $10,000 for 2010. Ms. Olson stated the County would like to see signage along this trail as well. Ms. Olson indicated location, design, and the information needed on each sign would need to be discussed. She reviewed a sign location map with the Committee suggesting that the locations be similar at each entrance. Ms. Hilgers suggested trail signs and trail maps be laced in key locations and that a sign not be P Y gn placed at each and every street crossing. PARKS, TRAILS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES March 17, 2009 Page 5 of 7 Mr. Straumann asked if pictures could be brought back to the Committee on neighboring community trail signs. Ms. Olson indicated she would be taking pictures of trail signs within Ramsey County and bringing this information back for the Committee to review. Ms. Hilgers stated she could take pictures of the Deep Portage Reserve trail maps in Cass County to be used as an example as well. She stated these signs include a trail map and are approximately 8 V2"x 11" and show the entire trail system. Mr. Messerly questioned what the Cass County trail signs were constructed from. Ms. Hilgers stated the signs were wood with plexi-glass. Chair Peck indicated it would be nice to have some sort of archway or special entrance at Glen Paul and Cleveland Avenue to the Elmer L. Anderson trail since this was where Arden Hills, Roseville and New Brighton come together. Ms. Olson questioned if the Committee was in favor of trail maps along the Elmer L. Anderson trail or if they were more interested in a Memorial sign, or a combination of the two. Chair Peck stated he didn't see it being necessary to have a sign posted at each entrance to the trail but instead have them more strategically placed. He felt that a combination of trail map and memorial signs would benefit the users. Ms. Olson asked if the Committee was interested in having City contact information on the trail signs. She indicated the City website was on the current park signs and has proven to be beneficial. Ms. Olson explained that she could enlarge the trail map by sections and have the Committee review the map and decide where the trail signs should be placed. She encouraged the members to review their maps and be ready to discuss this at the April meeting. g E. CelebratinLy Arden Hills Subcommittee Discussion Ms. Olson indicated the Council has tasked the PTRC with developing ideas for the Celebrating Arden Hills event along with creating a subcommittee to assist in planning the event. She explained this has been a great event in the past and would benefit greatly through increased involvement from the community. Chair Peck suggested the monthly newsletter be used to call attention to the residents the need for community involvement for this subcommittee to assist in planning the event. Ms. Olson stated this could be written into the next newsletter. Chair Peck questioned what the budget would be for this event, as compared to ones held in the past. Ms. Olson stated past events have run roughly $40,000, while bringing i approximately g gn pp Y $15,000 in donations. She indicated the subcommittee would have to evaluate the scale of the event to see if this was where they wanted to be. PARKS, TRAILS AND RECREATION COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES March 17, 2009 Page 6 of 7 Chair Peck asked when the event was held in the past. Ms. Olson stated it was normally held in June but could be changed if desired. Mr. Straumann questioned if this event could be planned in three months for 2009. Ms. Olson indicated the subcommittee being formed would plan the event for 2010 as it was not in the budget for 2009. Mr. Messerly suggested the event be held early August of 2010 to improve chances the weather would cooperate. Ms. Olson agreed with this suggestion and asked for the members within the PTRC to contact her via email if they were interested in serving on this subcommittee. She explained the group would be expected to meet once monthly to assist in the planning of Celebrating Arden Hills. Ms. Hilgers and Chair Peck indicated they would be interested in serving on the subcommittee.

Community Clean Up Event Discussion Ms. Olson stated she received an email from Arden Hall (Northwestern College) stating they are interested in helping the City with a clean up event at Tony Schmidt Park. She indicated there were funds available in the budget to provide snacks and/or beverages. Chair Peck indicated that the County would be supplying plastic bags for the clean-up, but questioned if a date had been selected for the event. Chair Peck stated April 18, 2009 was the traditional Ramsey County clean-up event date. 5. REPORTS A.

The CP Rail Bridge is a bottle neck for the potential Snelling Regional Trail. The project includes adding a passage on one side of the existing bridge structure. A CP Rail Study has been completed to identify potential impacts for this project. The City Council must decide which side to put the trail on.Pending Council Action,it is anticipated Bolton&Menk,Inc.will be retained by the City to work with the railroad on the final design. Justification The PTRC has identified the Snelling Regional Trail as a priority in its 2006 Strategies. The CP Rail Bridge is a major bottle neck and needs to be done before or at the same time as the trail. The Canadian Pacific Railroad is willing to discuss bridge improvements. Staff recommends moving forward while this relationship is positive. MSA funds could be utilized for this project,however,the City Council needs to prioritze projects for this funding source.

Trail Signage Discussion Hi Michelle, Attached are a couple of very recent trail maps panels we've done. We did the design work on both of these. We are currently fabricating the projects. In both cases we're utilizing a "backer panel" that holds the sign panel. I would discourage you from doing a "you are here" as that results in many many versions of signs. Rather, I would suggest a number system as is utilized in the attached examples. This allows you to have a very limited number of sign panels. The backer panel then provides the location number. There are a couple of different sign panel mediums to consider. We can discuss this. ck : ,:�." / 1�,4,• � r'x ��`i"� .W,*4�'� ��., it ?.—�,5;•rr` •li�` � r l�i:.�� ,�.'
