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.

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

PRESS RELEASE
March 10, 2010
The League of American Bicyclists Announces
Ramsey County as a
Winter 2010 Bicycle Friendly Business
Washington,DC-March 9, 2010—The League of American Bicyclists is proud to announce Ramsey
County as a Bicycle Friendly Business (BFB), in an impressive group of 51 new BFBs. 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.
The League of American Bicyclists promotes bicycling for fun, fitness and transportation, and works
through advocacy and education for a bicycle-friendly America. The League represents the interests of
America's 57 million bicyclists, including its 300,000 members and affiliates. For more information or to
