Dear Ms. Stephans:
SUBJECT: PROFESSIONAL SERVICES PROPOSAL-CITY OF CENTERVILLE
CLEARWATER TRAIL FEASIBILITY STUDY
Based upon your request, SRF is pleased to submit this professional services proposal for preparation
of the Clearwater Trail Extension Feasibility Study. The purpose of this feasibility study is to provide
a more detailed assessment of the two trail alignment alternatives that can be used to assist in the
preparation of a 2005 Minnesota DNR Trails and Waterways grant application.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
SRF would propose to complete a feasibility study for the trail corridor alignments as outlined in
Attachment A - Scope of Services. The final end product will be a technical memorandum that will
encompass the following tasks:
1. Gather Background Information
All background information and existing mapping available from the City and County will be
collected to evaluate the alternate trail corridor alignment as shown in the 2004 trail grant application.
2. Complete Inventory and Analysis
A general inventory and analysis will be completed for the trail corridor alignment going north
along County Road 20 and connecting across the County Road 14/35E interchange, identifying
potential conflicts with wetlands, vegetation, topography, utilities, drainage ways, roadway
crossings and private property ownership.
3. Identify Issues Relating To Agency Coordination and Project Phasing
Since multiple agencies will require involvement in the planning and design of the trail corridor,
coordination and phasing issues will be identified for each agency to address and a timeline
developed for review, approval, and implementation.
SCHEDULE
SRF will complete this work within a mutually agreed upon time schedule. However, in order to allow
for enough time for preparing a 2005 DNR grant application submission, we would propose to
complete the feasibility study by the end of December 2004.

BUDGET
The estimated cost for completing tasks 1-3 of the feasibility study is $800. See Attachment A for an
individual breakdown of tasks and corresponding fees.
BASIS OF PAYMENT
SRF proposes to be reimbursed for our services on an hourly basis for actual time expended. Other
direct project expenses such as printing, supplies, reproduction, etc., would be reimbursed at the
current IRS-rate for business miles. Invoices are submitted on a monthly basis for work performed
during the previous month. Payment is due within 30 days.
CHANGES IN SCOPE OF SERVICES
It is understood that if the scope or intent of the work changes, the cost will be adjusted accordingly.
Before any out-of-scope work is done, however, we will submit a budget for the new work and will not
begin work until we receive authorization from you.
NOTICE TO PROCEED
A signed copy of this proposal, either mailed or faxed to our office, will serve as a notice to proceed.
Our fax number is 763-475-2429.
We sincerely appreciate your consideration of this proposal and look forward to assisting the City of
Centerville on this important trail project. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions
regarding this proposal.

MEMO
DATE:
November 10,2004
TO:
Honorable Mayor/Council/Staff/Committees
FROM:
Mayor Elect Mary Capra and City Council
RE:
Council/Committee/Staff 2005 Achievements
............................................................................
The intent of this memo is to invite Mayor/Council/Staff and Committees members to
bring to the council as a group, a list of the projects they would like to achieve or have
addressed in 2005.
For staff this would be projects over and above their normal duties such as; do we need to
work on file storage options, web site, training, etc. These are only give these as
examples and would like to know what realistically we could do to improve our
operation.
For the committees this would be a project such as, specific park improvements, what
ordinance reviews, programs, business support, etc.
Mayor Elect-Mary Capra would like to have this as an agenda item to be reviewed by the
committees and staff over the next few months. She will be look at a potential all city
council, committees and staff meeting sometime in early 2005.
We know what our budget will be for next year so within that budget what can we
accomplish.
This is not required of anyone, but is optional for those who would like to participate.

To whom it may concern,
I regret that do to my busy school schedule (teacher conferences, mentoring
programs, extended studies and culminating school events); I am formally
resigning from my position with the Centerville Park and Recreation Committee. I
don't feel good about missing the number of meetings I was forced to miss; I
don't feel it's fair to those of you who make it every time. It has been an honor
serving with so many people who truly care about their community. If you ever
need anyone to assist you in your endeavors don't hesitate to call.

Minnesota ReLeaf Grant Program
- Strengthening Minnesota Communities -
General Information -
Minnesota ReLeaf, with funding provided by the Legislative Commission for Minnesota Resources (LCMR) and
U.S. Forest Service, is a matching grant program that provides funding to cities, counties, townships, non-
profits, tribal governments and schools to create and support community forestry programs. The program seeks
to build local capacity to protect and enhance a community's green infrastructure and promotessustainability
for economic, social and environmental revitalization and benefits.
Grants will be awarded based on how projects demonstrate a comprehensive approach to community forestry
through Forest Health Protection, Community Forest Assessment and Tree Planting. Projects that integrate two
or more categories below and demonstrate the sustainability of urban and community forestry programs will be
prioritized. See the back of this page for project examples.
· Forest Health Protection - for detection and treatment of forest pests including oak wilt, Dutch elm
disease, two lined chestnut borer, and others; pest mapping; and pest surveys.
· Community Forestry Assessment - for developing management plans, based on inventories,
assessments and public input, that integrate forest resource needs into public infrastructure, zoning
and comprehensive planning decisions.
· Tree Planting - tree planting to increase species diversity to reduce gypsy moth defoliation, conserve
energy, improve air and water quality, reduce erosion, replant oak wilt pockets and replace trees lost to
natural disasters.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, in partnership with Tree Trust, will provide educational and
technical support to individuals and communities throughout the grant process.
Level of Assistance -
In the 2004-2005 biennium, proposals could not exceed $15,000 in ReLeaf funds and this maximum grant amount is
expected to remain the same. The grant funds need to be matched dollar for dollar with cash or in-kind matches. The
2006-2007 program has been recommended for LCMR funding, pending approval by the full Legislature and Governor by
April, 2005.
How to apply-
Please submit the DNR Application Request form to Rebekah VanWieren (below) to receive your application packet.
Complete application packets will be available May 2005. The application deadline is July 7, 2005.

MN ReLeaf Project Examples -
Copies of past project proposals and local contact info are available from DNR or Tree Trust.
Grantee: Mountain Lake Public School - Project: ReLeaf Our Community - Grant amount: $15,000
This comprehensive project is headed by a community Green Team including, the Community Education Coordinator at
the school, a local landscaper, the High School Agriculture teacher and Lions Club, with technical support from the DNR,
Tree Trust and Soil & Water Conservation District. Over a 3-year timeline, this Green Team will form a city Tree Board,
rewrite the city's tree ordinance, and train students and volunteers of all ages to help inventory their urban forest. They
will also develop a long-term management plan and begin to implement that plan by removing hazardous trees and limbs
and planting trees in areas identified by the inventory. This project will help them meet requirements to become a Tree
City USA, certified by the National Arbor Day Foundation.
Grantee: Big Lake Township - Project: Oak Wilt Program - Grant amount: $14,350
Big Lake, a growing town north of the twin-cities metro area, developed their own Community Forestry Program with
guidance from the Sherburne County Forester and DNR staff. The initial program focuses on oak wilt suppression,
reforestation and an overall forest assessment. As part of the program, Master Gardeners and Woodland Advisors,
community volunteers trained by the University of Minnesota Extension Service, assist with a variety of tasks, including
site inspections, marking diseased trees, verifying aerial photos, reforestation and educational outreach to township
residents. By evaluating the current program and needs of residents, the project will result in a long-term Community
Forestry Plan for the community.
Grantee: Northside Residents Redevelopment Council (NRRC), Minneapolis -
Project: Plymouth Avenue Visioning "A Pathway" - Grant amount: $10,000
The Plymouth Avenue Visioning Project is an initiative of NRRC to revitalize the Plymouth Avenue corridor in north
Minneapolis. As part of their efforts to revitalize the environment of the corridor, the ReLeaf grant will be used to complete
an inventory of private and public trees along the 3.5 mile corridor to assess species diversity, tree health and available
planting spaces. Tree Trust is contracted to help train community volunteers to do the tree inventory using hand-held
computers. Based on this inventory, trees will be planted by volunteer families, supervised by Master Gardeners, Tree
Care Advisors and Park Board Foresters. A long-term maintenance plan and a Community Forestry Plan will be
developed for the area, including proper planting and maintenance workshops for residents and business owners.
Grantee: City of Robbinsdale - Project: Community Forestry Sustainability Plan - Grant amount: $12,000
Robbinsdale, a suburb of the twin-cities area, has had a tree program since the early 1970's. Recently, the significant
increase of the incidence of Dutch elm disease and a 25% reduction in state aid have strained the city's ability to meet
residents' demands. So, this grant helped the City Forester identify and inventory areas with the highest tree losses and
produce a Management Plan for these priority areas that will serve as a model for rest of the town and will help with
decision making. Grant funds were used to contract a seasonal Tree Inspector, produce technical brochures for
community workshops, and to plant 50 replacement trees.
Grantee: City of Cokato - Project: Voucher Program for Energy Conservation - Grant amount: $5,500
Cokato, a central-Minnesota town of 2,200, wanted to encourage its residents to plant trees to replace ones lost in a
recent tomado. The City and Lions Club, with technical support from regional tree professionals, organized a program to
offer residents a voucher for $35-off per tree from a local nursery. In order to receive a voucher, residents were required
to attend one of two community workshops, where they learned about tree planting and tree care, and worked with local
Master Gardeners to determine the best tree selection and placement on their property for energy conservation benefits.
At the workshop, residents also signed an agreement to purchase mulch for their trees and provide ongoing care.

Subject: RE: Best Management Practices for Cty Rd 14
Hi Kim,
I would be happy to send you my PowerPoint presentation. I think the file is too big to
email, so I'll put it onto a CD-ROM and mail it to you. You can play it, burn copies of
it, print off paper copies - whatever you would like to do.
Next, we at RCWD are pleased to offer our input on the Cty. Rd. 14 reconstruction project
as far as minimizing the impacts of the project. Employing some "best management
practices" (BMPs) may offer cost-effective, environmentally sensitive approaches that
would also help to beautify the project. Here are some general concepts to think about.
The stretch of road that goes through downtown past the City Hall might be a good place to
have raingardens instead of curb and gutter. The raingardens could be in the median, on
the sides of the road or both. Since I don't know the specs of the road widths and I am
not an engineer, it is difficult to for me to go into detail. I am copying this email to
our district engineers.
The stretch of road the goes between Peltier Lake and Centerville Lake, however, should be
handled differently. We do not want the run-off to go into the lakes. The objective here
would be to get the dirty road water away from the lakes and filtering it through someone
before it enters the lakes.
Please continue to keep us in the loop on what you are thinking and let us know what else
we can provide you.

that possible? She was particularly interested in how medians could be constructed to

you have for us would be fantastic. Thanks.

Rain Gardens
Urbanization has greaUy ~ncreased the amount of ~mpen,('ct:5 stuOfaces (streets, roofs,
compacted lawns), creating an ovs,rload of storm water runoff. Rainwater that histori-
cally infiltrated i"to the 9ro~md now flushes qtlickly through storm sewers and into
our lakes and streams. These large-volume runoff events transport large amounts of
sediments, excess nutrients and other pol-
lutants, leading to a deterioration of water
quality, along with increased flooding and
erosion problems...
Rain gardens are shallow depressions that
coHect stormwater from impervious sur-
faces and infiltrate, filter and evaporate the _
runoff. Rain gardens are typically planted
with a diverse mi" of l1a~ive wildflowers,
grasses, shrubs and trees, and are an at..
tracHve, low maintenance addDtion to your
home landscape.
Your rain gail"'c-Jen should have standfftllg tilater for no fotiger than 24 - 48
hours. Mosquitoes generafiy tatw 7-10 days to complete their bre0dlny
cycle, 50 your rain garden sfwufd not increase mosquito populations.

Round-Up@.
ro
ro
Dig a shallow bow! (6-9" deep at the center) with gently sloping sides.
ro If clay or heavy soils are present you may need to over-excavate and back-
fill with a lighter soil mixture (50% sand, 30% topsoil, 20% compost).
ro Place excavated soil en the downhHl side to create a smaH berm. The
berm should be sligMly lower than the rain garden !11~et to allow for a con-
trolled overflow.
ro Cover the berm with erosion control blanket ~o hold the loose soils in place
while plants become established.
ro
Spread 2" of shredded hardwood mulch over the ,en~~re planting area.
Woodchips tend to float and should be avoided.
