APPROVAL OF MINUTES—JANUARY 10,2010 Chair Peck indicated that Council Member Messerly would like the last under Item 3 to paragraph read, "one of the best drained parks in the cam,"instead of"one of the best drained parks in the state. MOTION: Committee Member Straumann motioned to approve the January 10 2010 minutes a pp y � s amended, seconded by Committee Member Hilgers. The motion carried unanimously. 3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Pro_i ect Updates 1. ARRA—Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Trail Connections Ms. Olson indicated that the Council approved the contract from American Liberty Construction for the Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Trail Connections Project (Safe Routes to School Project). Liberty Construction came in at about $458,000-459 000 for the construction cost, which is approximately 10 percent under the preliminary y estimate. Ms. Olson indicated Council would like an estimate of what the City's cost will be after deducting contributions from Boston Scientific. Ms. Olson informed the committee that construction will start this spring and that the City received good Parks,Trails&Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes February 23,2010 Page 2 references from other cities that have used Liberty Construction in the past. Ms. Olson mentioned they will be having a preconstruction meeting with the contractor very soon and are very excited to move forward with this project. Chair Peck asked Ms. Olson how long she had been working on this grant. Ms. Olson indicated that they received the grant April 15, 2008,but she started writing the grant in 2007. Chair Peck suggested they put coverage of the grant in the next newsletter along with an illustration of where the project is taking place. Ms. Olson indicated coverage would probably be in the issue after next and they will either include a map or a link to a map. Ms. Olson did state that most of the residents are aware of the location of the project because of meetings and expanded mailings. Committee Member Straumann asked if there would be some kind of grand opening ceremony or ribbon cutting. Ms. Olson stated she talked to the Physical Education instructor and there is $1,000 that has been put aside for non-infrastructure for Safe Routes to School which can be used for different things. Ms. Olson mentioned this has been discussed and they would like to do a ribbon cutting ceremony including Boston Scientific, Ramsey County, and all that contributed to the grant. Also, at some point they would like to do a Walk-To-School Day which would start at Perry Park and have participants walk the rest of the way to school. Ms. Olson indicated she is working with the school on that portion and it will take place next school year. Committee member Garretson asked whether the neighbors were excited about the utility poles being moved. Ms. Olson stated that it is the residents' preference that they be moved to the north side of the road and that is what the City is hoping for. She indicated the City is asking Xcel to move the poles to the other side of the road, but cannot force them to do that. 2. County Road E Bridge Ms. Olson indicated the project is on hold at this point since Council has decided not to move forward on the Municipal Agreement because of new information whereby the City could possibly get a new bridge or advance construct. She indicated they are waiting to hear back about the stand alone bridge and waiting to hear back from Met Council. Council could then approach Met Council to see whether the City could adjust the stand alone bridge to a pedestrian walkway on a newbridge and use the funding that way. She informed them that people at Mn/DOT felt this might be something that could be done. Parks,Trails&Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes February 23,2010 Page 3 Chair Peck asked Ms. Olson if they are still considering moving the replacement date of the bridge up. Ms. Olson indicated they could either wait for them to replace in 2015 or the City could advance construct it before that time. 3. CP Rail Ms. Olson mentioned they heard back from the Legacy Grant and unfortunately the City did not succeed in getting that grant. She indicated that it was very competitive p and that the City could try reapplying for the grant this year. However, comments received from Ramsey County seem to indicate that this might not be the best funding candidate because of competition with significant state and regional trails. Ms. Olson commented that the City might be a better candidate if doing the $2.25 million Old Snelling trail project. However, the grant is only a$500,000 maximum grant award. Ms. Olson feels Council is still in favor of getting the CP Rail done and are working with the railroad and Bolton Menk to get the project up for bid. Council will have to decide if they want to use state aid which they are able to do since applying for a variance. Ms. Olson mentioned she and Chair Peck are meeting with Bruce Kunkel from Bethel on Thursday and Mr. Kunkel , at one time, indicated that if the City did not get the Legacy Grant he would approach the President to see if Bethel could contribute financially towards the CP Rail Project. Mr. Kunkel did mention that this project is more appealing because it is closer to their campus than the County Road E project and they would like safety enhanced there. Ms. Olson informed the committee that at this point they are waiting for the railroad to approve the plans and pp that Bolton and Menk, the Engineering firm, are waiting for comments back. Ms. Olson stated they received a good response from the railroad during Legacy the Le ac Grant process. The railroad provided a letter of support and she feels because of the relationship it is a good time to move forward. 4. Lexington Avenue Update Ms. Olson indicated that after Northwestern began leasing the old Holiday Inn Hotel property, the property owner was required to put a path from the Arden Hall parking g lot to Caribou and Shannon Square. The City would like to try and work with the businesses to see if they could extend that path all the way to Cub. Ms. Olson indicated she and the Community Development Director Lehnhoff met with Shannon Square and they seemed in favor of doing a 50 percent match with the City on a $60,000 estimate. Also the section from Cummings Park Drive to Count Road F is . Y In very bad shape and therefore, it made sense to put the two projects together. At this point the City will need to give Shannon Square a more accurate figure before they can proceed and then this can be brought to Council. Council Liaison Grant indicated that any time the Citycan partner u with someone p p , whether it is to get a grant or contribution, it is something Y the should go the extra mile to do. Committee member Garretson felt the City should try to partner with Bethel for a path around the lake. Parks,Trails&Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes February 23,2010 Page 4 Ms. Olson indicated she did have that discussion with Mr. Kunkel in the past and his concern was about security if open to the general public. Bethel is not completely opposed but they do have concerns. Ms. Olson stated the biggest discussion has been that the City would like to see an underpass under Hamline when the 694 project happens. This would then be a true connection if they could open up that area. B HB Fuller Partnership Ms. Olson stated that she and Chair Peck were trying to get HP Fuller to partner with them on something for the Elmer L. Anderson trail project. Mr. Peck indicated he did get in contact with the HP Fuller foundation and they stated they would decline involvement because they focus their activities primarily on youth programs. They did give him a number for the Elmer L. Andersen foundation but he has not heard back from them. Ms. Olson mentioned they would also like to contact the family of Elmer L. Andersen to get them involved. Ms. Olson mentioned that because of cost Ramsey County indicated it would be difficult for them to do anything significant on their section at this time. Ken Wehrle of Ramsey County, however, called Ms. Olson and stated there might be some grant money for signs at Tony Schmidt and E2. She also stated they need to work with Derrek Hames on the design and he will introduce some options to the PTRC at an upcoming meeting. C. Oath of Office Ms. Olson indicated that at the last meeting Committee Member Messerly asked if they were required to do an Oath of Office. Ms. Olson stated that because the Planning Commission is a commission they are required to do an Oath of Office but the PTRC was not required to do this. She indicated she would leave it up to the committee members. MOTION: Council Member Straumann motioned to table the oath of office discussion until Council Member Messerly was present. Chair Peck seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. 4. NEW BUSINESS A. Trail SeLyment Priority Ms. Olson indicated she printed out a list of the proposed trails and hoped they could start prioritizing the list as to high, medium and low priority. Ms. Olson noted that segment D, E, and F 1 are all part of the soon to be completed Elmer L. Andersen Trail Connections Project so will be removed from the list. She mentioned F, the Ramsey County section, was paved this summer and will also be removed from the list. She mentioned that H, has always been a high priority for the group and that they are waiting for funding for that segment. Ms. Olson noted that Round Lake Road from Gateway Boulevard (KI, K2 and K3 area) is up in the air because of the new tenant, Deluxe Check. She stated they are missing one portion of the easement which is K2 and need to get that. Ms. Olson feels since Deluxe now owns the property they could open up the conservation about the assessment. Ms. Olson stated the segment is in very bad shape because it is in area where trees go down quite frequently. Parks,Trails&Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes February 23,2010 Page 5 Committee member Straumann questioned if I.1 should say"County Road E through CP Rail"instead of"E2 through CP Rail." Ms. Olson agreed and stated she would make that correction. Committee member O'Malley indicated she felt J would be a nice segment to do at the time they do the Valentine Park area. Ms. Olson indicated the trail from Old Snelling to Mounds View was very controversial in the past. Discussion ensued regarding segment � J. Committee member O'Malley indicated she feels segment J is that should be considered. Ms. Olson indicated she would put the segment as a mid-priority and will do some research on it. Committee member Hilgers questioned why M was on the list because it is already such a wide road and feels it is safe and therefore should be a low priority. Discussion ensued regarding segment M and it was agreed that M may be one to be eliminated in the future. It was brought up that because the road is very wide lines could be painted/strip ed for walking and biking. Ms. Olson indicated she would put M as a p high riorit for g Y restriping. Ms. Olson asked if Segment I, Old 10,was still a high priority. She mentioned they would need to find some kind of funding source for that since with the CP Rail improvements, it is estimated over$2.25 million. Discussion ensued about making that segment a regional trail in order to have a better chance of getting funding. g Ms. Olson asked how they felt about segment A2 since it was a priority at one time. Committee member Garretson felt it should be looked at since it is a busy road. Discussion ensued regarding this. Chair Peck indicated Elmer L. Anderson has taken some of the priority out of Cleveland Y Avenue. Ms. Olson stated she would put A, Cleveland Avenue, as a low .priority. Y Ms. Olson asked for the groups' opinion regarding K2. After further discussion regarding K1 and K2 Ms. Olson indicated she would put the segment in the mid range e g priority level. Ms. Olson asked about segment B. Chair Peck and the other members did not feel this should be a high priority because of the low speed limit. Ms. Olson stated she would put this as a low priority segment as well as segment C which would be difficult to do because of the railroad. Discussion ensued on D 1 and E l. Ms. Olson indicated El is a Ramsey County segment and is a county project that it would be very Y costl because it goes through wetlands. Ms. Olson asked if they felt El or G should be a Ms. priority. Olson stated she would leave G and G1 as an important segment pending funding. Ms. i g Olson indicated she would put segment K as a low priority because they have to resolve easement issues and segment L would be dealt with at the time of the 96 project. She felt N would have some progress if the affordable housing were to o in and put that as a . g mid-range priority. Ms. Olson indicated she would put the list in priority order for our next meeting. g Parks,Trails&.Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes February 23,2010 Page 6 B. Scout Project Discussion Ms. Olson asked the committee for ideas on possible Eagle Scout Projects. She informed the committee that Buckthorn is no longer a project that they allow. Some projects that could be a possibility are: bench projects, wood chipping of trails that tend to get muddy, mulching and adding wood chips to play structures, or a bird feeder project. Committee member Garretson suggested working with perennial gardens that need mulch or refreshing of plants. Ms. Olson stated there could be a problem with the Scouts determining which is a flower and which is a weed and also did not feel they should add any more gardens since the City already has difficulty maintaining our current inventory of gardens. Another idea was having the Scouts research projects like bat houses, Loon nests or wood duck houses. Ms. Olson asked the committee to bring forth any other possibilities at the next meeting. C. Recreation Budget Ms. Olson indicated the Recreation budget was just presented at the Council Work session. She stated the recreation budget deficit has totaled between$100,000 and $130,000 for the past few years. She stated the department brings in around $80,000 to $90,000 in revenue and the expenditures are just over$200,000. Ms. Olson handed out a year-end summary of participant numbers which she will include in the Administrator Update for Council review this week. She stated that municipalities may be facing significant cuts in the next few years. Budgets are tight and staff will be looking to cut costs and programs as needed. She will be working on cutting Recreation Guide costs in the next year. Committee member Straumann asked whether parks could be reserved online. Ms. Olson indicated that only the form was online. Committee member Hilgers suggested having all registrations be done online as a way to cut costs. Ms. Olson indicated that Arden Hills has a lot of non-internet users and that only between 30- 40 percent of the registrations were done online. Ms. Olson indicated she could track how many people sign up online as opposed to submitting an application in person or b P Y mail. Staff is hesitant to move to NO Recreation Guide until some analysis has been done. D. Other New Business There was no other new business. 5. REPORTS A. Project Updates Council Liaison Grant mentioned that the Sand Company, who is proposing to move in next to Bethel on County Road F,has applied for federal tax credits but did not get them Parks,Trails&Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes February 23,2010 Page 7 and part of that design would have been putting in a trail along a section of County Road nd F. He feels that they will probably apply again the 2 half of this year. He stated it is relatively common for an application not to be approved the first time. Discussion ensued regarding the work force housing. Mr. Grant indicated that in order to rent this housing one needs to have a middle tier income level. He stated that Council did tour the facility in Maple Grove and it was very nice and designed for low maintenance. He feels this type of housing would be a way to put a diverse facility into Arden Hills and add some rental units. Council Liaison Grant mentioned the Park and Rec Shoreline Ordinance has been updated and can now be viewed online. He indicated that they tried to find a happy balance with the new ordinance that would still allow some flexibility people for le to add p on to the lake side but not allow them to build too close to the lake, blocking the neighbors' views. Council Liaison Grant mentioned that they are looking for a new City Administrator. He noted that there were approximately 120 applications so far and that over the course of the month they will continue that process. He does not think the will be at the point of a Y final selection until around April 1. B. Public Works/Parks and Recreation Report Ms. Olson that the Friends of the Parks—Ramsey County has announced a tree sale for 2010 where you can purchase a tree for your own yard or donate a tree to a park. She indicated this will be posted on the City s website and would list areas where the City could use some trees. She mentioned the trees are discounted and the deadline is April 17, 2010. Chair Peck asked if there was any interest in doing another park cleanup day. Ms. Olson indicated it would be in cooperation with RamseyCount 's day and that it would again Y Y g be at Tony Schmidt Regional Park. She indicated she would let them know at the next meeting what day in April it has been scheduled for. 6. NEXT MEETING—March 16,2010 Ms. Olson informed the members that Council scheduled an informational TCAAP meeting on April 20, the same day as their April PTRC meeting. She asked if they preferred to change the date of the PTRC meeting to the 4th week in April. Discussion ensured regarding the TCAAP meeting and it was agreed to change the date of the PTRC meeting to the 4th week in April. The next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 16, 2010 at 6:30 p.m. 7. ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Committee Member Garretson motioned to adjourn and Committee Membe r er Straumann seconded.

The official announcement was made at the 1 otn Anniversary National Bike Summit in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, March 9. The announcement, the fourth time BFB winners have been named since the program's inception in 2008, marks the ongoing success of the program and continued momentum amongst businesses to provide a more bike-friendly environment. "The League is especially excited to recognize Ramsey County as a 2010 winter BFB winner at the 1 ot"Anniversary National Bike Summit. Ramsey County is making simple changes to their transportation policies to encourage biking to work. They are setting a community-wide example,"said Andy Clarke. Businesses that apply for the award are contributing to a more bicycle-friendly lifestyle for their employees. Ramsey County serves as an example for best practices and innovations in bicycle friendliness at the workplace. Ramsey County makes bicycling an easy option for transportation and provides amenities such as secure indoor bicycle parking and bike loan programs for employees. "This Bicycle Friendly Business is making a difference for employees, customers, and communities," said Bill Nesper, Director of the Bicycle Friendly America Program. "Ramsey County promotes bicycling as a viable form of transportation and gives their employees choices and options that make biking to work easy and fun." There are a lot of very simple, effective and creative ways that companies are finding to get people back on their bikes, and the League is proud to recognize the efforts of working America to make our nation a more bike-friendly place. Companies across the country are realizing that getting their employees biking— either to or from work, in course of work, or even in their own time—is good for business.When bicycling is infused in a company's culture, great things happen: reduced health care costs; more productive employees; improved worker and customer satisfaction; smaller carbon footprint; and increased corporate social responsibility. Applying for BFB recognition is easy and free. Applicants receive technical assistance from the League staff as well as tools to evaluate and assess their bicycle friendliness through the application process. The BFB application is available online at www.bicyclefriendlvbusiness.org. The Bicycle Friendly Community and Bicycle Friendly Business programs are generously supported by program partners Bikes Belong and Trek Bicycle's One World, Two Wheels Campaign.
