COMMITTEE BUSINESS Summer Pro2rams YMCA Summer Program The committee requested City Council donate $300 from the Parks & Recreation budget to the YMCA Summer Program being held at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. This donation is to subsidize the amount each resident would be required to pay for children enrolled in the program. Ms. Stephan reported this was approved by council at the March 10, 2004 City Council meeting and a check will be issued to the YMCA. The consensus of the committee was to keep the recommendation at $300 for both sessions opposed to $300 per session. There was previously some confusion regarding this item. Ms. Stephan provided the committee with a rough draft of the YMCA flyer for the summer program and the amount listed to the residents is $15 per 3 week session. With the Parks & Recreation Committee subsidizing the program, the amount to residents was reduced from the previously suggested $22 per session. Bands in the Parks Chairperson Peterson contacted the City of Lino Lakes Parks & Recreation Department regarding what he thought was a transportable band shelter that could possibly be used in a Centerville park for a concert. What the City of Lino Lakes actually has is a trailer which contains equipment such as chairs and tables and is rented out for block party events. The committee then discussed other options for possibly hosting concerts such as having a band set up in the hockey rink. Chairperson Peterson questioned how we would determine if there is an interest and what type of issues would it involve, how would the committee advertise for bands interested in performing and how would insurance and security be handled. Chairperson Peterson said he would contact other cities to determine how they went about having an event such as concerts in the park. It also needs to be determined what would be required by City Council and the Centennial Lakes Police Department. Skate Park Activities Committee Member Anderson suggested having a skate board exhibition or perhaps a competition by age group. Committee Member Peil stated there are skate board professionals who often tour. Chairperson Peterson stated there are going to be problems with setting up the skate park this spring due to construction on LaMotte Drive and Heritage Street. It has been requested that the skate pad at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park be done first when construction begins so the skate park can be set up as soon as possible. It will be time consuming and labor intensive to set up all the skate park equipment on the concrete in the hockey rink and then later move it to the asphalt pad. The committee feels the equipment needs to be set up as soon as possible, even if it has to be moved later as last season it was set up late and only part of the equipment was available for 20f8 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 04-07-04 use. Chairperson Peterson stated Public Works is short staff and is currently in the process of hiring two employees. Committee members suggested using volunteers to set the equipment in place. Chairperson Peterson will keep the committee updated on this issue. Wargo Nature Center At the March 3, 2004 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting the committee requested Ms. Stephan contact Mr. Todd Murawski from the Wargo Nature Center to determine if there was interest in offering a summer program in Centerville this year. It was discussed that the program between Wargo & the City of Centerville offered in 2002 was not very well attended. There was not a program with Wargo offered in 2003. The YMCA did a program for two weeks last August that was well attended. The committee thought perhaps Wargo would be open to doing a few sessions with activities that were well attended in the past and advertising could be combined with the Summer YMCA Program. Mr. Murawski responded in an email with 'unfortunately we will not be able to provide programming for you this summer due to staff shortages. We have had to cut back on existing programs and are just not able to add new things to the summer calendar. Thank you for considering us for your summer activities. ' Senior Programs The committee discussed any other options seniors might be interested in and it was suggested a questionnaire be drafted and ultimately distributed to Chauncey Barret Gardens & the Eagle Pass Town Home Associations (2). Committee Member Seeley will draft a survey to present to the committee. Suggestions were walking groups, bird watching, shuffleboard, Wargo Nature Center Naturalist Programs and dance lessons. Commercial & Industrial Park Dedication Fees At the March 3, 2004 Parks & Recreation Meeting, Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc questioned if there were currently any Park Dedication Fees required for commercial or industrial properties. Chairperson Peterson responded with the City of Lino Lakes is currently charging Park Dedication Fees for commercial property, but Centerville requires only residential properties to pay Park Dedication Fees. Council Member Lee requested this be added as a discussion on the next council agenda which was March 10, 2004. City Council directed staff to research what other cities were charging, if anything, for Commercial & Industrial Park Dedication Fees. The information the City Clerk collected from the Cities of Lino Lakes & Hugo was presented to City Council at the March 24, 2004 City Council Meeting. City Council requested this information be passed on to the Parks & Recreation Committee for a recommendation. Both the cities of Lino Lakes & Hugo have Commercial & Industrial Park Dedication Fees as follows: Lino Lakes $2,175/acre - Both Commercial & Industrial $1,665/unit - Residential $1,800/acre - Commercial, Industrial & Residential Hugo 30f8 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 04-07-04 The Parks & Recreation Committee discussed the various options at length. Committee Member Peil stated she was in favor of charging fees per acre, but wanted an amount lower than the cities current $3000/unit charge for Residential Park Dedication Fees. Committee Member Peil felt the various fees charged for permits was already a deterrent to businesses choosing to look at building in Centerville and wanted to keep the Park Dedication Fees lower so as to not discourage businesses or appear that Centerville was not business friendly. Chairperson Peterson agreed and added that Centerville's requirements for building in industrial and commercial areas were already more stringent than neighboring communities, and although that allowed for higher quality buildings, it also kept some businesses from choosing Centerville. The committee agreed charges per acre would be the fairest standard to follow opposed to per unit, since there could be one large unit on 20 acres or lO small buildings on the same piece of property. It would be uniform, if charged by acre. The committee discussed keeping the fee for industrial & commercial the same as residential, but compared to the Cities of Lino Lakes and Hugo, the City of Centerville already charges more for residential than the neighboring communities. It was decided to recommend to council that the fees for Industrial & Commercial Park Dedication Fees be set at the same rate as the City of Lino lakes, which would be $2 I 75/acre. Chairperson Peterson also suggested passing this on to the Economic Development Committee for their input. Motion was made by Committee Member Ziegler, seconded by Committee Member Anderson to recommend to City Council incorporating an Industrial & Commercial Park Dedication Fee into the fee schedule with the amount being set in line with the City of Lino Lakes at the amount of $2175/acre. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Committee Member Ziegler commented that if the average lot size for a residential lot is 14 to Y2 acre, the Residential Park Dedication Fees already amount to approximately $5,000 per acre so charging Commercial and Industrial $3000 per acre would be considerably less than residential if the same formula was used. Committee Member Peil was adamant that $3,OOO/acre was too high as fees and building codes are already higher/stricter than our neighboring communities. She also stated commercial and industrial property was not selling within Centerville, while residential was selling because of schools and other amenities the area has to offer homeowners. Committee Member Seeley felt a minimum of $2,000/acre should be charged, but would rather see $3,OOO/acre as the commercial and industrial properties also have benefits to their employees by having trails go through their properties and the benefit is the same as it would be for residential properties. Committee Member Peil felt the situations are entirely different and the usage window for employees to use a trail is small. 40f8 Parlcs & Recreation Committee ~eeting~mes04~7~4 vn. UPDATES SUBCOMMITTEES Grants Committee Member Seeley reported that nothing has been heard concerning the grant application the Parks & Recreation Committee submitted in February, but the DNR Grant Committee has until sometime in July, 2004 to respond. Trails Committee Member Seeley requested feedback from the committee as to what is the expectation of the committee regarding the trail system. Would the committee opt to move forward with the trail whether or not a grant is awarded. Committee Member Seeley stated the subcommittee will need to know a direction to pursue if the grant is not awarded to the city at this time. The ramifications are if the city were to go ahead with the project without the grant money, the committee cannot reapply for the same project as grant money will not reimburse a previously started project. The consensus of the committee was to continue to allocate the monies for the matching portion of the grant to reapply if necessary. Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Warmine: Bouse Renovation No current updates. Tracie McBride Memorial Park No current updates. Wheels Skate Park At the previous committee meeting the option was discussed of contacting a representative from SunRamp Solutions, one of the suppliers of skate board equipment, to help determine the placement of various pieces and what could be effectively added to what is currently owned by the city. Information was included in the packet concerning some options from SunRamp Solutions. It was mentioned multiple suppliers should be contacted. Committee Member Peil stated she felt SunRamp Solutions was the better manufacturer and if equipment was ordered from multiple suppliers there would be an ugly menagerie of mismatched equipment. Chairperson Peterson will follow up with SunRamp Solutions. The committee felt it was imperative the skate park pad was done as soon as possible. Chairperson Peterson will contact the City Engineer to get a time frame. St. Paul Water Utilitv Propertv on Centerville Lake No current updates concerning this property. The committee was supplied with a copy of a letter from the City Administrator to the St. Paul Water Utility expressing interest in the possibility of the City of Centerville purchasing one of the available lots. 50f8 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 04-07-04 Chairperson Peterson's concerns are what exactly are the Parks & Recreation Committee's current funds and what has the committee committed to, such as matching funds for the possible grant, the skate park pad, and the paving of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park parking lot. When these funds are expended will there be $270,000 left to purchase the Centerville Lake property and maintain it in the future. The committee feels there are many potential uses for this property such as a gazebo, picnic areas, a fishing pier, swimming & canoeing, visualizing more of an adult park on a trail system without any type of play structures for small children. Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc mentioned this would have been a wonderful option for a Land Acquisition Grant had the committee known sooner. There is potential to apply for a Land Acquisition grant in 2005. The committee would like to request financials with projected funds from the Finance Director for the next scheduled meeting. Chairperson Peterson & Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc will go over the current Parks & Recreation Committee budget and present it at the next meeting. There are also outstanding issues for other parks such as what to do with the small park in Peltier Preserve and a play structure at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. Had been previously discussed. St. Genevieve Renovation / Trail Proiect - Letter to St. Genevieve The following letter was submitted to the St. Genevieve's Planning Committee by the Parks & Recreation Committee, with City Council's approval, to consider a trail placement in the church's renovation plans: Dear St Genevieve Planning Committee, The Park and Recreation committee was informed that St Genevieve is considering a plan to improve their property. The Parks and Recreation Committee is interested in discussing options to improve safety and recreational value to the community by adding two trails on the edges of some of the church property. On December 14, 2002, Mr. Wayne LeBlanc discussed some possibilities with Father Fitzgerald. It is felt these trails will benefit the community in many ways. Please see the attached map with a proposal to start discussion. The first trail would join the existing Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Trail near the east end of the parking lot and run north to the Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park border. It then runs east along the park border where it then cuts across a small portion of the southeast corner of parcel 36 to align the trail with Meadow Lane. This trail would give the residents of Centerville an easy and much safer access to Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park. In addition, a trail could run north from Meadow Lane on the east side of Centerville Road to Chauncey Barett Gardens giving residents an easy route to the park. The second trail would run adjacent to the lift station (Parcel 36A) and along the west side of the church property (Parcel~' 36 and 15) to Heritage road. The trail would continue north on Goiffon Road and then swing west and north along the lake on an existing easement This keeps the trail out of the middle of the property. This trail will connect with a future trail that will circle Centerville Lake. 60f8 Parks & Recreation Committee ~~g~mes04~7~4 Please consider this proposal so that Centerville might be the best that it can be. Please contact Park and Recreation Chairperson, Tedd Peterson at 651-426-3272 to arrange further discussion. Thank you for you consideration of this matter. Chairperson Peterson and Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc attended the St. Genevieve's Planning Committee on Tuesday, March 23, 2004 and presented the various options the committee was interested in for a trail. The St. Genevieve's Planning Committee was receptive to the idea of a trail, but adamant about not having the trail run along the lake on the west side of the current rectory. The reasons given were the potential resale value of this property and the safety of Father Fitzgerald with a trail running behind his private residence. The church committee and Father Fitzgerald were receptive to the idea of a trail. The main consensus was it was not desirable to go down the vacated portion of Goiffon Road because of the safety aspect. Chairperson Peterson said it looked like what the church committee would agree to would be a trail on the east side of the property. Chairperson Peterson also reported nothing has been decided at this time, it was simply an informational meeting. It was questioned by a member of the church committee whether St. Genevieve would get some financial concessions on their upcoming road assessments in exchange for the trail easement. Chairperson Peterson said he had no negotiating power and the church committee would have to approach the city concerning this issue. Chairperson Peterson stated the main goal is to ensure a trail along LaMotte Drive with a commitment from the church to work with the city on the trail system. There are easements along LaMotte Road which the city could work with. When the church decides on which renovation avenue they will pursue, there will need to be a Site Plan Review and that is also another opportunity for the city to request a trail. It was questioned whether Park Dedication Fees would apply and what the church property is zoned at. Chairperson Peterson stated Park Dedication Fees would not apply as they would be making improvements to property already owned, unlike a developer who purchases property to build residential homes. The larger church parcel is currently zoned as R2, Single Family Residential. Chairperson Peterson will contact Mr. Wilharber to determine if the committee had made any decisions and what steps would be next. Cbauncev Barret 2nd Addition - Sidewalk The committee was provided with a copy of a letter the City Administrator sent to Anoka County regarding adding a sidewalk along Centerville Road to the Chauncey Barret Site Plan as it was not included in the preconstruction meeting. The committee will be updated as information is presented to the city. Eartb Dav Earth Day is April 22, 2004. The committee usually cleans up the parks, but turnout with volunteers has been disappointing in recent years. Information was given to the committee from the Rice Creek Watershed District requesting volunteers for a stenciling program to engage people of all ages in watershed pollution prevention. Chairperson Peterson would like to see the committee get involved with the stenciling program instead of, or addition to 70f8 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes 04-07-04 park cleanup. Committee Member Seeley asked for volunteers to help with the stenciling program and will contact Rice Creek Watershed for specific of the program. Vice- Chairperson LeBlanc also thought it was an excellent idea, a good educational tool for the public and he thought the Peltier lake Association would like to be involved. Chairperson Peterson suggested the committee make a request for Public Works to maintain the stenciling after it has been completed. Update at the next scheduled meeting. Park Monument Siens / Flower Beds The monument signs/flower beds in each of the five (5) city parks has needed attention the last few years and with limited staff time available, the planting and weeding of these flower beds was done by volunteers in the 2003 summer season. Perennials were donated to be planted in each bed and residents/committee members did the planting and weeding. The volunteers are still willing to continue with this project, but the beds really need additional work this year. Committee Member Seeley would like to request additional volunteer help to maintain these flower beds. The committee would like to request funds not to exceed $50 per park/flower bed to purchase supplies such as plants, fertilizer, top soil & mulch. The committee feels these funds should not be taken from the Parks & Recreation Committee's budget, but rather from the Park Maintenance Fund. Motion was made by Chairperson Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Lindsay, to request funds not to exceed $50 per park/flower bed to purchase supplies such as plants, fertilizer, top soil & mulch with funds from the Park Maintenance Fund. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. VIll. ADJOURNMENT Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Committee Member Anderson to adjourn the April 7, 2004 Parks & Recreation Committee meeting at 8:15 p.m. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously. Transcribed by Kim Stephan 80f8 .

Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park, Tracie McBride Memorial Park, Royal Meadows Park and Acorn Creek Park have volunteers from the Parks & Recreation Committee maintaining these flower beds at this time. Eagle Park was being maintained by a resident, but I will take a look at it to determine if it needs any additional maintenance. Provide City Hall with the receipts and you will be reimbursed to $50.00.

This brings the message back to public attention \j bright new image on the street and another opportunity fo volunteers & media attention. The message on the street tells NOT TO DO and WHY. Media fliers will explain what people I DO and HOW. Stenciling works! It raises awareness and leads to pollutio prevention. Many people unknowingly believe storm drains co to sewer treatment facilities and that industry is the greatest s( of water pollution. According to EPA, over 60% of our watf pollution comes from urban and agricultural storm water runoff point source pollution). People are more likely to change th behavior to prevent pollution once they understand that storm' runoff pollutants end up in water bodies. Volunteers will be trained and organized to stencil an educati, message next to the storm sewers notifying the public that t streets and waters are connected.

Resurrected Rain Barrels Reduce Run-off and Conserve Water The Water Pollution Problem Non~point source pollution is our nation's munber one water quality problem. Non-point source pollution refers to many contributing sources of pollution such as fertilizer, pet waste, oil, leaves, grass clippings, etc. whereas point source pollution refers to pollution that can be traced back to one particular source such as a factory pipe. In natural Jandscapes, rain tends to soak into the ground gradually. However, in wban and suburban traditional developments, much of the land is covered by impervious surfaces - such as streets, parking lots and roofs - where the water cannot soak into the ground. Instead, the water runs-off rapidly canying the munerous non-point pollutants it collects along the way into our water bodies. Simple Solutions A solution to non-point pollution is to reduce the amount of water flowing over impervious surfaces. There are many ways to encourage water to soak into the ground instead of running off; rain gardens, rooftop gardens, pervious pavements and rain barrels are a few ideas. Good 01' Rain Barrels Saving rainwater to use for watering or during dry months is an old practice that is becoming popular again. Harvesting systems vary from a simple barrel under a down-spout to high tech systems using cisterns, pumps and flow controls. The simple method usually uses a row of barrels connected by hoses and uses gravity to transfer the overflow into the next barrel and a spigot to get the water out. Manufactured rain barrels are sold at many garden stores, vary in cost from about $60-150 and come in various looks and sizes. Handy people can convert a used drum into a rain barrel for a nominal cost. . Benefits of Rain Barrels .;;>;\.~ · Saves money on your water bill by providing free rainwater for your lawn and garden · Decreases volume of polluted storm water nm-off reaching water bodies · Saves tax dollars by reducing or delaying the need to expand or upgrade sewage treatment facilities · Reduces the severity of basement flooding caused by sewer back-up · Diverts water away from your foundation Keel> in Mind The rainwater inlet should be screened so mosquitoes CANNOT enter nor breed. Screens also keep out materials such as leaves that provide nutrients for algal growth and covers keep out the sun. If screens and cover fit properly, algal growth is not a problem Rain barrels are not suggested for houses with treated cedar shakes or roofing materials containing asbestos. The gutter systems should not have lead solder or lead-based paint. Is your house right for a rain barrel or two? Do your part for water quality and install one when you're gearing up for spring! FROM STREETS TO STREAMS: WHATEVER IS IN THE STREETS GOES STRAIGHT TO OUR STREAMS VIA STORM~SEWERS KEEP THE STREET IN FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE CLEAN Grass clippings and leaves that are washed into our water bodies are like dumping fertilizer in our lakes. Clean up oil, pet waste and correct erosion . ~ MINIMIZE WATER FLOWING OVER HARD SURFACES · Redirect downspouts into your yard an d ilstall rain barrels to collect the roof run-off. . Plant native plants (deep roots absorb more water, provide habilat and help slabUize so~. . Create rain gardens (low areas with tolerant plants to absorb excess water). . Use peNious pavements (where the water soaks in) whenever possible. YOUR ACTIONS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE .

EVERY CURB IS A SHORELINE RICE CREEK WATERSHED DIsnucr Storm drains provide a direct route for pollutants on streets to flow into our rivers, lakes and streams. Contact Rice Creek Watershed District today to get your group involved in storm drain stenciling. WE NEED YOUR HELP. Many residents are unaware that storm drains connect the streets to our local waters and pour antifreeze, fertilizer, paint, used motor oil or animal waste down storm drains thinking that the drain runs to a sewage treatment facility. But in fact, storm water is not treated before entering lakes and rivers. Stenciling and distributing door hangers is a fun way to educate people about the simple steps they can take to keep Minnesota's waters clean. In natural landscapes, rain tends to soak into the ground gradually. However, nowadays, much of the land is covered by impervious surfaces - such as streets, parking lots and roofs - where the water cannot soak into the ground. Instead, water runs-off rapidly through storm sewers carrying pollutants collected along the way directly into our water bodies. Typical pollutants include grass clippings, leaves, pesticides, motor oil and pet wastes. I)J"EASE!

Therefore, native landscaping generally costs less over time. Native Critters Need Native Plants Native plants attract beautiful and diverse native butterflies, pollinators and birds to your yard since Minnesota plants and animals evolved together over time and have complex relationships. For example, a native plant may produce a chemical to protect it from certain insects. A caterpillar that eats this plant is then protected from predators because of a bitter taste. Plants and animals depend on each other for food, habitat and seed dispersal. Hold On! Let's Let this Soak in... Native grasses have deep roots (often 8 feet or more) that hold down the soil provide excellent erosion control. These expansive roots also absorb a lot of water runoff compared to monoculture ground covers such as bluegrass or purple crown vetch with shallow roots. Naltole Herbaceous Plants Native legumes (peas and beans) fertilize naturally by enriching the soil with nitrogen. The Grass is Always Greener ... You can have a beautiful yard with little maintenance. For details, go to www.extension.llmn.edu search "Low Input Lawn Care" (LILac). If you are starting a new lawn, choose low maintenance grasses such as: Kentucky bluegrasses (Kenblue, Park, South Dakota Certified, and Newport) and fine-leaved fescues (creeping red fescue, chewings fescue, and hard fescue). Other bluegrass varieties that do acceptably well once adapted to lower input levels include Rugby, Parade, Touchdown, Ram I, Nugget, Sydsport, and Monoply. Eliminate one fertilizer application by leaving clippings on the lawn. The best time to fertilize is in the fall for low-input lawns. Remember, fertilizers containing phosphorus CANNOT be used on lawns in the 7 county metro area. (Exceptions to this law apply when establishing a new lawn or when a soil test shows phosphorus is needed. ) Keep your mowing height at 2- 3 inches to help screen shade out weeds. A slightly higher cutting height also encourages deeper rooting and allows moisture and nutrients from a larger soil volume to gather. Don't over-water. Use a rain gauge when watering and apply 1/2 inch of water two or three times / week. Over- watering simply wastes water and predisposes lawns to fungal diseases. " BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS President: Patrick Harris + Vice President: John Zanmiller Commissioners: Matt Anfang + Bob Cardinal + Gregory Kleindl + Debbie Montgomery + Dave Thune April 20, 2004 Ms. Kim Moore-Sykes, City Administrator City of Centerville 1880 Main Street Centerville, Minnesota 55038 Subject: Board of Water Commissioners vacant lot at 1601 LaMotte Drive Dear Ms. Moore-Sykes: Thank you for your letter of April 13, 2004 requesting that the Board of Water Commissioners be asked to consider reducing the sale price of the subject lot if the City agreed to remove the raw water conduit. Although not technically an offer, discussion of this proposal is scheduled for the Board's next meeting, tentatively scheduled for May 11, 2004. In the time since you and I last discussed the property, I have received the enclosed Letter of Opinion from Orion Appraisals, Inc. dated April 13, 2004. The Letter provides a valuation of the remaining lot in the event the City was to operate a public park adjacent to it. In addition, staff has estimated cost savings that would be experienced by the Board as a result of two possible scenarios posed by the City. Please see the enclosed Option Plans A and B, Valuation Options and the summary below: Option A: City removes pipe from the vacant lot, resulting in revised value of $284,500. Option B: City allows pipe to remain in place, resulting in revised value of $253,900. Staff is prepared to recommend either option to the Board. I can be reached at 651-266-6265 and would be glad to discuss the above options and staff- recommended prices at any time convenient for you or your staff. J1L/~ WLTljl William L.

The dwelling one Parce1.2 is considered to be functionally andphysica11y obsolete and a hindrance to the land. The highest and best use of the site that this property is situated on, is considered to be for the dwelling to be removed and the land improved with a mid to upper bracket home.

A copy of the budget is attached, followed by financials from Ms. Ellen Paul seth, Finance Director. Here is the last budget we discussed from Aug 6, 2003. I added updates on Sep 4, 2003 and April 29, 2004 as indicated in the document It has a feature called "Tracking" which shows every change made. At the front, I list the updates and dates. I added 110,000 for the parking lot and 30,000 for the skate park. If anyone has more information, let me know and l'U add it to the list. I did not want to make any more changes than necessary so that everyone could see the previous data and relate it to the new. We might also want to look at the maintenance costs and do a projection if more costs are anticipated in the future.

We would like to work with you and other local decision makers to set aside important natural areas during the development process to ensure that we continue to enjoy wildlife and nature-based recreation long into the future. The ACD strongly believes that the most viable approach to protecting natural resources is for local governments to partner with land developers during the platting process to set aside some areas in exchange for platting flexibility. In this way, the taxpayers will be assured of future recreational options without having to pay for costly referenda for land acquisitions to meet demands. With the funds we are seeking we would like to work with 4 or 5 communities to clarify local goals and a long term community vision, define open space goals and develop different tools that protect open space during development. The program would start in July 2005 and end in June of 2007. This would, in effect, provide four or five communities with a quarter time employee for two years. The LCMR application also requests funds to cover the expenses of two land protection projects in each community involved with the program. If awarded the funds, four or five communities will be selected to receive assistance through a competitive process established by the ACD. The Anoka Conservation District has worked with several communities in Anoka County to identify regionally significant natural resources. We would like to continue working with past partners and new ones to ensure the natural areas we now enjoy will remain for future generations. While your written support at this time does not obligate you to be involved in the future or necessarily mean that you will be selected as one of the communities chosen to receive assistance, your support for this proposal will be very helpful to make it through the LCMR. We have included an example letter of support for your convenience. 2JZ -~ ~ Chris Lord . District Manager Anoka Conservation District Enc.
