Parks & Recreation Meeting Minutes 06-26-03
Mondays and Wednesdays will be for 3-5 year aIds from 9:30 to 11 :30 a.m. and Tuesdays and
Thursdays will be for 6-11 year aIds from 9:30 to 11:30 a.ill. The cost is $10 if registered before
July 30, $15.00 if registered after July 30,2003. This price covers all four (4) sessions. There is
no cost to the City of Centerville or the Parks & Recreation Committee, except to use the park
and warming house. The YMCA will print and fold 1,300 flyers to go in the July utility billing.
Ms. Stephan will check with the billing clerk to ensure these flyers can be added to the mailing.
The flyers will be dropped off at City Hall before Wednesday, July 3, 2003. The registration
will be handled by the YMCA, so city staff time is not required. There is a limit of
approximately 45 children per session in order to keep the 1-15 ratio of adults to children,
although the program will probably not get to this point this year. The minimum for each
session will be 8 to 10 children to make sure there is a large enough group for the children to
have fun. The YMCA will also advertise in the Quad Community Press. Ms. Stephan will get
flyers to local businesses, provide information at City Hall, and advertise on the city sign, web
site and cable channel. The committee discussed possible additions to the registration form such
as a waiver regarding responsibility. Ms. Truninger will add this as well as a statement saying
financial help is available if requested. The YMCA instructors have CPR, first aid training and
background checks have been done before hiring.
Ms. Julie Lindsay offered her help with the sessions if the amount registered exceeds 45
children. The committee discussed whether they wanted to reduce the cost to the residents by
supplementing the program, but decided not to at this time. The committee thought next year
when the program expands they will discuss supplementing the program by perhaps purchasing
equipment, such as tables. The YMCA instructors present felt the warming house was more
than adequate to meet their needs at this time.
Motion was made by Committee Member SeeleY9 seconded by Committee Member
LeBlanc to recommend to council to accept the program as presented by Ms. Lynn
Truninger and allow the use of Laurie LaMotte Park and the facilities on the above
mentioned dates and times. AU in Favor: Motion carried unanimously.
Centerville Lions I Fete des Lacs
Committee Member Peil reported it was not possible to have a CentcrvilIe Lions Member
present at this meeting to discuss Fete des Lacs as they were having a meeting the same evening
and are in the process of changing officers. The Lions postponed discussions on the warming
house renovation until after the new officers begin their term. Committee Member Peil did add
on behalf of Fete des Lacs that they are still in need of volunteers, especially for the Kids
Carnival being held on Saturday, August 2nd from 12:00 to 3:00. Some of the Parks &
Recreation Committee Members volunteered.
v. CONSIDERATION OF MINUTES
Motion was made by Committee lVlember LeBlanc9 seconded by Committee Member
Seeley to approve the June 4, 2003 Parks and Recreation Committee ]\,feeting Minutes.
AIl in Favor: Motion carried unanimously.

VI. COMMITTEE BUSINESS
Oath of Office. Mr. Richard Anderson & Ms. Julie Lindsav
Ms. Julie Lindsay was sworn in as a Parks & Recreation Member by Council Member Lee. Mr.
Richard Anderson was unable to attend, as the meeting was rescheduled from July 3 to June 26,
2003. Mr. Anderson will be sworn in at the next scheduled Parks & Recreation Committee
Meeting.
Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Committee Member Seeley to
recommend to council the appointment of Mr. Andre Ziegler to the Parks & Recreation
Committee. All in Favor: Motion passed unanimously.
CaDitallmDrovement Goals - 5 Year Plan
The Public Works Staff asked the Parks & Recreation Committee to consider a permanent site
for the skate park as it is very time consuming to install the skate park equipment each spring,
move it for Fete des Lacs and then remove it and store it for the winter. Committee Member Peil
suggested the idea of a permanent skate park site fall into the 2-year plan of Tracie McBride
Memorial Park. When the water tower is removed there will be room for a skate park on that
site. It was mentioned that some skate parks are asphalt opposed to concrete, asphalt would be
less expensive, but research should be done on asphalt versus concrete. Committee Member
Seeley suggested forming a sub-committee to work: on the 2-year Tracie McBride plan.
The committee then went through the 2003 Parks & Recreation Budget & Projects List line by
line to prepare a rough draft for the 2004 budget. Committee Member LeBlanc and Committee
Member Seeley will put this information together for the next scheduled meeting. The
committee also discussed grants, what the process is to apply, where to get information, and who
would possibly be interested in pursuing the information. Committee Member Seeley would
like to form a sub-committee to research this area.
VII. UPDATES
Pavine: Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Parkine: Lot
Council Member Lee informed the committee that Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park parking lot
will be paved in conjunction with Heritage Street and LaMotte Drive, possibly in 2004.
Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Warmine: House Renovation I Re-roofine:
Mr. Paul Palzer, Public Works Director determined that the current footings at the warming
house will not support a second story or an outward expansion, so any new building or
renovation would need to start from scratch. The committee felt the Centerville Lions were no
longer interested in renovating the current warming house. The City Council approved
replacing the roof on the warming house at the June 25, 2003 City Council meeting not to
30f4
Parks & Recreation Meeting Minutes 06-26-03
exceed $4,500 with the possibility of the Lions supplying the labor. The committee would still
like to improve the current warming house to be used for community events or summer
programs such as the YMCA program and would like to continue to examine the issue. The
Parks & Recreation Committee will continue to budget for this item.
The Parks & Recreation Committee has scheduled a tour of the city parks and the Laurie
LaMotte Memorial Park warming house for Wednesday, July 9,2003 at 6:30 p.m. The purpose
of the meeting is to discuss and inspect the local parks and proposed recommendations for repair
or acquisition of equipment. The committee will be meeting at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park
and proceeding to each park thereafter. The committee will also be presenting recognition
plaques to two (2) members that have resigned from the committee. Ms. Stephan will ensure
this meeting is posted.
VIII. ADJOURNMENT
Motion was made by Committee Member Seeley, seconded by Committee Member
Lindsay, to adjourn the June 26,2003 Parks and Recreation Meeting at 8:36 p.m.
All in Favor: Motion carried unanimously.

TO: Park & Recreation Committee Members
FROM: Kim Stephan
DATE: July 31, 2003
SUBJECT: Parks & Recreation Budget and Project List
The following information was provided by Committee Members Seeley and LeBlanc:
I know I was to come up with some estimates for some of the improvements to Tracie
McBride Park. I was hoping to get input from others on the P&R committee, since these
are only guess-timates on my part for possible improvements. Here's a start, anyway....
Replace border and existing sand fill in large playlot:
Expand existing basketball area to full court size:
New (small) picnic shelter:
$10,000
$ 4,000
$10,000
Removal of two existing, small playlots:
Move existing playlot equipment to larger playlot:
New Barbeque pit:
$?
$?
$?
I think there will be other ideas to add to this list, as we!1. I am hoping Tedd might be able
to give us a ballpark figure for the labor intensive items (removing the small lots and
moving the play equipment). We might also want to keep in mind that some of the
improvements might be eligible for grant money.
Hope this helps. -Suzanne

" A resident at Tracie McBride Park suggested a wheels park there. Noise might be a factor.
C) A resident at Acom Park sugf?;ested a wheels park there. Noise right be less a factor here.
~ There may be an advantage to forming subcommittees to examine:
o Writing urants to trY to double our money (shelters. play equiRment trails. lake property, etc)
o RedesillliinlZ Tracie McBride Park to coincide with removal of the Waler tower in around 2005
o Renovating the warming house
o Designing and coordina!inlZ trails with nearby communities
o Wheels park considerations. Equipment is apparently too difficult to setu]2 illld a permanent
J21ace might work better than the current double use of the hockey rink. Consider Tracie
McBride or Acorn Parks or possibly the area behind city hall.

Park Walk July 9. 2003
On July 20, 2003, Richard Anderson, Suzanne Seeley, Andre Ziegler, Julie Lindsay, and Wayne LeBlanc met and
walked through the parks. Here are some of the observations. Also, a few pictures were taken.
Lamotte Park
The roof, some of the f3.cia, and perhaps some of the wood under the roofneed replacement. The phone inside didn't
work at first, but then worked after jiggling the connection. This phone, however, is not accessible to anyone during
the summer. A pay phone has not been installed. The Little League was there and the park was very busy. The
restrooms in the warming house were locked and there was a satellite by the parking lot. We looked at the St Paul
Water property which is directly across the street from Lamotte Park.
Centerville Road and Meadow Lane Intersection
We stopped at the intersection of Meadow Lane and Centerville Road. This intersection offers a potential "safe"
access to Lamotte Park from a major residential part of the city. A trail might go more or less straight west of the
sidewalk or veer south and attach to the ''temporary'' road that goes into Lamotte Park.
E82Ie Pass Park
This park looked fine and the tennis court looked great.
Tracie .Mcbride Park
~ "t the water tower is taken down, there will be a lot more room in this park. There is a lot of equipment in a
fenCed in area. Would some or all of this be removed? Right now, there are three different play areas - one area
might work better. One resident there wanted a skate park here. We discussed briefly a '"permanent" skate park here
and other places. In the previous meeting we discussed a subcommittee on Tracie McBride Park.
Roval Meadows Park
Royal Meadows Park had 3 or 4 small children playing on the swings. We asked how they liked the park. They said
great. Later a couple of them confided, you know, there are people that come here that swear a lot. I suggested they
have their parents call city hall if there is any trouble at the park. There was graffiti on the back of the sign and on
the basketball pole (see pictures). Also, there were some grass clippings in the southwest comer of the park by the
fence (see icture). All in all, this didn't look too bad.
Ac,~13. Park
Acorn Park looked good. We asked a resident how they liked the park. She said it was wonderful. About the only
thing that needs attention at some point is a dead tree that stands at an obvious angle (see picture). A minor point for
future design, there is a catch basin directly in the path of the exiting trail to the park. h would have been nice bring
this trail all the way to the road but that is impossible (see picture). The trail and culvert at the creek look to be in
good shape. There had been problems there before with washouts.
Plaaues Awarded
We then proceeded to Karla Devine's and Brian Walter's house and gave them their plaques for service with Park
and Recreation.

Vice Chair
Centerville Parks and Recreation Committee
1880 Main Street
Centerville, MN 55038
Dear Mr. Peterson,
My name is Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor with the City ofLino Lakes. As you well know,
the Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department operate a youth fall tackle football program for area youth.
This year will mark our third year of operating this program, but the tackle football progrfull has been in
operation for several years.
I am contacting you today to investigate the possibilit"j of utilizing one of the lighted ball fields at Laurie
LaMotte Memorial Park for the area youth football program. It is my impression we are able to develop an
eighty-yard football field at this site. If we were able to utilize this site and lights, this would greatly enhance
the football experience for many of our participants. At the present time, we have approximately twenty
percent of our participant's come from the City of Centerville. This field with lights would reduce the travel
time for some of our lower grade level teams and extend our practice period due to utilizing the lights on this
field.
If this is a possibility, we would need the field to be mowed and I am certain we could get volunteers to mark,
with paint, the appropriate field dimensions.
Our season runs from mid August - the end of October. If this field were available, we would like to make
use of the facility Monday - Thursday in the evening and possibly on Saturdays.
!fyou or fuiother representative would like to contact my office to discuss 1J.\is matter, I can be reached at 651-
982-2445 or bbernsteinaV,ciJino-lakes,mn.us. If need be, I would even attend a Park Board meeting to discuss
this matter with the entire board.
To adequately plan the season, I will need to k..'10W if this field is available by August 1. I realize this is short
notice and understand if there is not sufficient amount of time to discuss this issue.
I look forward to hear from you soon.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
r~
