order at 6:36 p.m.

Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Committee Member Lindsay
to set the September 1, 2004 Parks & Recreation Agenda as is. AIl in favor. Motion
carried unanimously.
Ill. PUBLIC HEARING(S)
IV. APPEARANCES
Mr. Drew Johnson and Mr. Dana Johnson made an appearance to discuss an Eagle Scout
project proposed by Mr. Drew Johnson, Troop 232. The community service project being
suggested would involve building wood duck houses to be placed around Centerville area
ponds. This project would involve the community by implementing an 'Adopt A Wood Duck
House' program to possibly help raise funds, but more importantly to have the residents who
adopt the houses maintain them after the houses are in place. The wood duck houses would be
10 x 18 x 20 single compartment houses placed 8 feet off the ground either connected to a tree
or a treated cedar post.

Parks & Recreation Committee
Meeting Minutes 09-01-04
Committee Member Lindsay asked how the houses would be connected to trees and suggested
a strap system be used as to not damage the trees. Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc suggested
contacting the DNR to determine how they attach wood duck houses to trees. Chairperson
Peterson also suggested putting metal around the bottom or some type of band to prevent
raccoons or other animals from crawling up the trees. Mr. Dana Johnson stated the wood duck
houses are designed with an opening small enough so animals cannot get in, but ducks can get
in and out. Mr. Drew Johnson would also like to create a web site for this project and have a
link from the city's web site.
Committee Member Seeley fully supported the idea and asked Mr. Drew Johnson to check in
with the committee as to his progress. The committee asked how the funding would happen
and what would be required from the city. The committee suggested Mr. Drew Johnson break
down the costs and formulate a plan which the committee can then base a recommendation to
City Council from. The' Adopt a Wood Duck House' information could go on the city's web
site and in the newsletter. Chairperson Peterson's concern was the long term maintenance of
these houses as once a year they need to be cleaned out and wood chips replaced. Committee
Member Seeley suggested the committee adopt some of these houses for the city's parks and
have the committee take responsibility. Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc suggested involving Lino
Lakes Parks & Recreation as well as Centerville. Mr. Drew Johnson will be put on the October
Agenda and present the committee with a proposal at that time.
Ms. Joani Giese. SRF En2ineerin2
Ms. Joani Giese and Mr. Ken Grieshaber from SRF Engineering gave a presentation at the
request of the committee to discuss what their firm has to offer in the way of parks & trail
planning. Ms. Giese & Mr. Grieshaber are part of the Landscape Architecture & Urban
Planning Group of SRF. They are also the consulting firm for the Anoka County CSAH 14
project.
SRF has worked with cities on trail and design implementation, greenways and scenic byways,
as well as neighborhood parks. The process involves city & community input to formulate a
plan and prioritize issues. A feasibility study can be done which will make the city aware of all
possible issues when looking at a trail corridor. Once the issues are itemized it can be used as a
funding tool and for grant purposes. SRF also has grant writers on staff. Ms. Giese has been
working with rainwater/rain garden designs as well as storm water issues.
SRF supplied the committee with a map of existing parks & trails, proposed trails and
easements, both in the City of Centerville and the portions of the Anoka County Trail System
adjacent to Centerville. The committee explained the grant application submitted in 2004, what
the intentions were at that time and what the committee will change for the grant application
submitted in 2005. The committee feels the most important aspect of the proposed trail system
is to get connected to the Hardwood Creek Trail with a loop system around Centerville Lake
ultimately crossing the freeway and connecting to Lino Lakes and Hugo. SRF would be able to
assist with the grant writing process as well as do a feasibility study to be included with the
next grant application.

Meeting Minutes 09-01-04
Committee Member Ziegler stated Centerville is small city with a small budget, would
Centerville be able to afford the services of SRF and would SRF be willing to work on such a
small project. Ms. Giese suggested a simple analysis of the issues involved and the possibility
of working with the design standards and the grant process. SRF would give an estimate of
charges before actually starting the project. Chairperson Peterson questioned whether the City
would have a legal issue with Bonestroo, the City's engineering firm if the committee were to
use the services of SRF. Chairperson Peterson will discuss the legalities of working with SRF
with the City Administrator. Committee Member Seeley felt SRF could be extremely valuable
at the next grant rewrite. Ms. Giese estimated the cost at approximately $800. The committee
agreed the money spent on a feasibility study would be money well spent.
v. CONSIDERA nON OF MINUTES
Motion was made by Committee Member Peil, seconded by Committee Member Ziegler
to approve the August 4, 2004 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes as is.
Ayes - 5, Nays - 0, Abstain -1 (peterson). Motion carried.
VI. COMMITTEE BUSINESS
In reviewing the Eagle Scout project suggested by Mr. Drew Johnson the committee discussed
whether funding by the Parks & Recreation Committee would be appropriate. The committee
was in favor of Mr. Johnson's project and would like to support it. Committee Member
Ziegler questioned whether finding the funding for the project was part of the project itself.
Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc stated scout troops have funding for Eagle Scout projects. The
committee will review the project at the next scheduled meeting.
Centennial Youth Hockev Association
Use of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Hockev Rink for the 2004-2005 Season
Ms. Jodi McGregor, Outdoor Ice Coordinator for the Centennial Youth Hockey Association
(CYHA), sent a request to the committee regarding the use of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park
ice rink for the 2004-2005 hockey season. CYHA would like to use the rink for outdoor ice as
they have in the past and are requesting extended dedicated hours. CYHA is also requesting
the rink for dryland training starting in October, after tryouts and teams are placed, and
continuing until outdoor ice is available or weather permits. The dryland usage is a first time
request to the City of Centerville. CYHA currently uses two other parks in the surrounding
communities for this purpose as it aids in training and preparation for the ice season.
Ms. McGregor stated: We usually use the rink in the evenings, from 5:00 pm until 9:00 pm,
during the week. If this is approved, we would need to know what is appropriate for your
lighting situation. The other parks we use have either automatic light systems or we manually
turn them on and off when we are at the rink. We also use a "lock box" system for obtaining
access to the warming house with the key always being returned to the lock box. This system
has worked well with the other communities and I would be happy to forward names and phone
numbers if you would like to speak with others regarding the process and procedure.

Parks & Recreation Committee
Meeting Minutes 09-01-04
The committee discussed the use of the facilities for dry land practice and agreed to the usage
with the following conditions:
1. A schedule of usage, as well as a contact list of coaches responsible during the time it is
being used will be provided by the association.
2. There will be no use of the facilities after 9 p.m. daily.
3. The nets will be padlocked when not in use. The key to the lights and padlock will be
supplied in a lock box by Public Works.
4. The Centennial Youth Hockey Association will sign a waiver releasing the City of
Centerville from any liability and will take responsibility for any damage occurring
while the association is using the facilities.
Motion was made by Chairperson Peterson, seconded by Committee Member Peil to
recommend to City Council approving the Centennial Youth Hockey Association's use of
dryland time with the use of the park lights at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park with the
above conditions. All in Favor: Motion passed unanimously.
The committee discussed the association's request for additional ice time and opted to keep the
days and hours the same as in the past seasons allowing Centerville residents access to the ice
with the exception of8:00 - 9:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
Motion was made by Chairperson Peterson, seconded by Committee Member PeiI to
recommend to City Council approving the Centennial Youth Hockey Association's use of
the hockey rink for the 2004-2005 season with a dedicated half sheet of ice from 7:00 -
8:00 pm. and a dedicated full sheet of ice from 8:00 - 9:00 p.m. Monday through
Thursday. All in Favor: Motion passed unanimously.
2005 Budget Planning
Ms. Stephan supplied City Council with the Parks & Recreation Committee's Updated 2005
Budget Recommendations. The changes from the last budget submitted were costs for the
paving of Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park parking lot and the construction of the skate park pad
as reflected by new figures provided by IvIr. Tom Peterson, City Engineer. An addition was
also made to include funding for additional skate park equipment in 2005.
Committee Member Peil wanted to ensure that money was allocated for future skate park
equipment even if we do get charitable gambling funds as requested from the Spring Lake Park
Lions and Deadbroke Saddle Club. It was suggested $5,000 to $8,000 be added for this
purpose and equipment be ordered in the spring of 2005. This amount may be offset with
contributions from charitable gambling.

SUBCOMMITTEES
Grants
The grant information was discussed with the SRF presentation. Committee Member Ziegler
asked whether the Park Dedication Fees associated with Pheasant Marsh, 3rd Addition would be
seen any time soon. This developer is in litigation with the city and the monies cannot be
counted on at this point. Committee Member Seeley spoke to a representative from the DNR
Grant Committee requesting feedback as to why the submitted grant application was denied.
The representative said the City of Centerville's overall proposal was done very well, but the
overall reason for denial was simply a lack of funds. In discussing the Anoka County and
MNDOT tentative plans for County Road 14, it appears approximately 1/3 of the trail system
proposed by the Parks & Recreation Committee in the 2004 grant application will be taken care
of by the CSAH 14 project. This will modify the approach taken for the 2005 grant
application. Mr. Ken Grieshaber, SRF asked what type of trail plans the City of Lino Lakes
has and whether a joint venture had been discussed. Chairperson Peterson said Lino Lakes has
been proactive in working with the City of Centerville in the instances where there was the
possibility of joint projects such as the trail on the west side of Hunters Crossing which leads
into the Anoka County Regional Park. When the developer was installing this trail Lino Lakes
worked with the contractor to add an additional trail into a Lino Lakes development. The
question is how much actual planning does Lino Lakes have in place for trails. Vice-
Chairperson LeBlanc stated the City of Centerville's priority would be getting the trail from
County Road 14 to Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park through the church property, connected to
Meadow Lane, and then finalize the plan to submit the 2005 grant application
Trails
The following information is from Parks & Recreation Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc, who met
with Mr. Nick Eoloff from Anoka County Parks on September 1, 2004. The purpose of the
meeting was to discuss the county's trail plans with the reconstruction of County Road 14 and
how that fits in with the Parks & Recreation Committee's Trail Plan.
Per Mr. EolotT, the intersection of Centerville Road and County 14 is proposed to be controlled
with a stop light. From the intersection of County Road 14 and Centerville Road going east,
there will be a sidewalk on the north of County Road 14 to 20th Avenue. On the south of
County Road 14 going east, there will be a trail to the freeway. West of the Centerville Road
and County 14 intersection, Mr. Eoloff suggests a 10 feet wide trail on the Centerville Lake
side of the road going to Wargo Nature Center. The fishing pier on Peltier Lake is proposed to
be moved north to the dam and boat launch area near the Rice Creek Outlet. This is also near
the Peltier Lake Bridge Outlet.
At the boat launch/fishing pier the trail will be on the south (west) side of County 14 and the
boat launch/fishing pier will be on the north (east) side of County Road 14. The county plans
include a possible underpass for the trail at the boat launch area so trail users will not have to
cross County Road 14.

Parks & Recreation Committee
Meeting Minutes 09-D 1-04
Mr. Eoloff suggests residents north of the Centerville Elementary School in the Lake1and Hills
development use the trail through the school to get to the controlled intersection at Centerville
Road and County 14. Mr. Eoloff will look at striping or something similar for residents on
Peltier Lake Drive to get to the trail from Peltier Lake Drive.
A decision needs to be made on the area west of Centerville Road. Mr. Eoloff suggests a 10
foot wide trail on the south ( and west) and no sidewalk on the north (and east) side of County
Road 14. The engineers could put a sidewalk there, but then the trail would have to be 8 feet
wide and there just isn't enough room for both the sidewalk and the trail. Vice-Chairperson
LeBlanc suggested to the Parks & Recreation Committee that there is more value in having a
good trail along the south (and west) side of County Road 14 without a sidewalk on the north
(and east), than to have a mediocre trail with a sidewalk of minimal value. Vice-Chairperson
LeBlanc also felt the committee should recommend a 10 foot wide trail east of 20th Avenue.
Mr. Eoloff would like a recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Committee on this
option.
Motion was made by Vice-Chairperson LeBlanc, seconded by Committee Member Seeley
to recommend to City Council that the City of CentervilJe request a 10 foot wide trail be
instaJIed on County Road 14 from Centerville Road on the south (and west) side to at least
Wargo Nature Center. A sidewalk on the north (and east) side of County 14 is not
recommended as it would cause the trail to be narrower and reduce the usefulness of the
trail. It is highly desirable to have a 10 foot wide trail east of 20th Ave to the freeway that
would eventually connect with the 10 foot wide regional trail which goes through the
Chain of Lakes Regional Park. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
Committee Member Seeley mentioned a potentially dangerous sink hole on the trail going
north through the school property. Chairperson Peterson, as Public Works Staff said he would
see it was taken care of
The committee brought concerns about the trail in front of Apple Tree Square to City Council.
A letter was sent to the owner of the property by city staff regarding this issue. There are no
specific updates at this time.
Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Warmine House Renovation
Committee Member Peil has started the painting at the warming house, but needs volunteers to
help. A person doing Community Service did not work out.
Tracie McBride Memorial Park
No current updates.
Wheels Skate Park
Per Chairperson Peterson the contractor will be putting another lift on the skate park pad to try
and alleviate the low spots which are holding water.

Playing Tobacco free:
Tobacco-Free Policies For Outdoor Recreation Fa
Tobacco-free outdoor recreation
facilities make sense
.
Secondhand smoke harms everyone and kills thousands
every year. Exposure to secondhand smoke is the third
leading cause of preventable death in the United States,
killing approximately 53,000 people every year.
Secondhand smoke is harmful in outdoor settings.
According to Repace Associates, secondhand smoke
levels in outdoor public places can reach levels as high
as those found in indoor facilities where smoking is
permitted.
Tobacco-free policies help change community norms.
Tobacco-free policies establish the community norm
that tobacco use is not an acceptable behavior for young
people or adults within the entire community.
Most Minnesota parents support tobacco-free policies
for outdoor playgrounds. A 1998 survey showed that
68% of Minnesota parents support smoking bans in
outdoor playgrounds and 80% support a ban in all public
places where children are present.
.
Why are tobacco-free policies for outdoor
recreation facilities so important?
.
City-wide policies support groups that have existing
policies when they are using city recreation facilities.
Since most school districts prohibit tobacco use
in all their facilities, city-wide policies create
consistency for all youth recreational facilities in
the community.
Cigarette butts cause litter, increase maintenance
expenses, and pose the risk of ingestion by toddlers
using recreation facilities.
Creating tobacco- free environments protects the health,
safety, and welfare of the community.
..
.
.
Why are tobacco-free policies effective?
.
Policies reinforce to youth the message that tobacco
use is unhealthy and unnecessary behavior.
Policies ensure that participants and spectators
are not exposed to secondhand smoke.
Policies create an environment where leaders can
model and promote healthy lifestyle choices.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Tobacco-Free Policies for Park Areas in Minn
What is current Minnesota state law on
smoking outdoors?
There is currently no state law that regulates tobacco
use in outdoor areas.
Are local governments able to enact
policies restricting tobacco use?
There is nothing in either federal or state law that
prohibits local governments from regulating tobacco use
outdoors. 1
What is the difference between a park
policy and an ordinance?
In general, park policies are rules regarding city-owned
park property that are established by the city park board
and are often approved by the city council. Generally,
those who ignore park policies do not receive a fine, but
are asked to refrain from using tobacco or .Ieave the
premises.
City ordinances are city council enactments that
regulate people or property and carry a penalty such as
a fine for violations. Ordinances often originate from a
recommendation passed by the city park board.2
For both park policies and city ordinances, tobacco use
is prohibited on city park property.
Should a policy cover all property and
activities or just youth events?
In Minnesota, both types of policies exist, but the recent
trend is toward "all property" policies because they may
be simpler for citizens to understand, rather than to
determine which activities qualify as "youth events."
How do other Minnesota cities and
townships enforce their policies?
Minnesota cities and townships with tobacco-free park
policies post signs in their park areas that announce the
policy. These signs provide cities with the ability to rely
on community and self-enforcement. Many tobacco
users look for "no tobacco" signs. These signs empower
everyone using the parks to provide friendly reminders
about the policy to violators. Signs also help to eliminate
the need for any law enforcement presence. The
majority of Minnesota cities with policies have received

their signs free of charge from Tobacc
Recreation.
In addition to signs, cities notify the
members in a variety of ways: local
newsletters, policy reminder cards, recre,
brochures, policy statements sent to sport~
and coaches' trainings.

Re: Purchase Agreement for Vacant Lot at 1601 LaMotte Drive, bet\veen
Board of Water Commissioners and City of Centerville
Dear Mr. Hoeft:
Thank you for your letter of August 23, 2004 to Mr. Bill Tschida of our staff, which described the City's
concerns regarding the proposed purchase agreement. I appreciate the City's position and intend to address
each issue raised.
As a first stepl I would like to clarify the issue of purchase price vs. raw-water pipe location:
In an April 20, 2004 letter to Ms. Kim MOOl:e-Sykes, attached for your reference, the City was
offered the following two options:
Option A; City removes pipe from the vacant lot, resulting in revised value of
$284,500 (reduced by $20,500 from $305,000).
Option B: City allows pipe to remain in place, resulting in revised value of
$253,900 (reduced by an additional $30,600 from Option A price of $284,500).
Centerville City Administer, Ms- Moore-Sykes, replied by letter of May 5,2004, directing Mr,
Tschid.a to present Option B to the Board of Water Commissioners for consideration. That option
was presented and accepted by our Board at its May 11, 2004 meeting, subject to approval of a
purchase agreement.
Secondly, I agree with your assessment that the Agreement paragraphs you reference should be reconciled, and
that doing so should not present a problem for either party.

Thirdly, the issue of annexation was included only as a first-choice solution. I respect the City's desire to avoid
such a process and am confident that other requirements can be developed to address the administrative issues
raised by the purchase.
Lastly, and most significant, is the issue of purchase price vs. restrictions. This issue is more complex than
those previously mentioned, and I suggest that it would be best addressed by the parties meeting in person to
explain their needs and intentions. If that is agreeable to you and the City, I invite you to schedule such a
meeting through Mr. Tschida, who will be able to choose a time both he and I are available. Mr. Tschida can
be reached by phone at 651-266-6265, or bye-mail atbill.tschida@cLstpaul.mn.us.
Please be assured that we look forward to working in good faith with you and the City of Centerville to resolve
issues that would prevent either party from approving the sale of the property to the City.
Sincerely,
Stephen P. Schneider

Subject: SRF Question for Hoeft?
This is the section of the P & R meeting minutes of 9/1/04 concerning SRF and the question
Tedd would like you to ask Jim Hoeft about. Would there be a legal reason, such as in a
contract with Bonestroo which would keep P & R from working with SRF on a trail type
feasibility study to be used for grant purposes. Since SRF is also engineering firm and
perhaps Bonestroo has a similar department which would offer the same services? P & R
liked the idea of working with SRF since this is the firm that is working with the county
on Co. Rd. 14 and will be involved in the trail system already.
Ms. Joani Giese, SRF Engineering
Ms. Joani Giese and Mr. Ken Grieshaber from SRF Engineering gave a presentation at the
request of the committee to discuss what their firm has to offer in the way of parks &
trail planning. Ms. Giese & Mr. Grieshaber are part of the Landscape Architecture & Urban
Planning Group of SRF. They are also the consulting firm for the Anoka County CSAH 14
project.
SRF has worked with cities on trail and design implementation, greenways and scenic
byways, as well as neighborhood parks. The process involves city & community input to
formulate a plan and prioritize issues. A feasibility study can be done which will make
the city aware of all possible issues when looking at a trail corridor. Once the issues
are itemized it can be used as a funding tool and for grant purposes. SRF
also has grant writers on staff. Ms. Giese has been working with
rainwater/rain garden designs as well as storm water issues.
SRF supplied the committee with a map of existing parks & trails, proposed trails and
easements, both in the City of Centerville and the portions of the Anoka County Trail
System adjacent to Centerville. The committee explained the grant application submitted
in 2004, what the intentions were at that time and what the committee will change for the
grant application submitted in 2005. The committee feels the most important aspect of the
proposed trail system is to get connected to the Hardwood Creek Trail with a loop system
around Centerville Lake ultimately crossing the freeway and connecting to Lino Lakes and
Hugo. SRF would be able to assist with the grant writing process as well as do a
feasibility study to be included with the next grant application.
Committee Member Ziegler stated Centerville is small city with a small budget, would
Centerville be able to afford the services of SRF and would SRF be willing to work on such
a small project. Ms. Giese suggested a simple analysis of the issues involved and the
possibility
of working with the design standards and the grant process. SRF would
give an estimate of charges before actually starting the project. Chairperson Peterson
questioned whether the City would have a legal issue with Bonestroo, the City's
engineering firm if the committee were to use the services of SRF. Chairperson Peterson
will discuss the legalities of working with SRF with the City Administrator. Committee
Member Seeley felt SRF could be extremely valuable at the next grant rewrite. Ms. Giese
estimated the cost at approximately $800. The committee agreed the money spent ona

Subject: St. Paul Water Department
Hi Jim,
Just a question I will be asking at our next meeting. I recently read that if a
government body uses condemnation to obtain property for a public purpose, If the property
is no longer need for that public purpose they cannot resell the property for any kind of
profit, it has to stay in use for a public purpose due to it having been condemned.
I spoke with Melvin Dupre this morning and he said in the 1890's the St. Paul Water
Department came into Centerville and did condemnation for the purpose of providing water
utilities to the City of St. Paul. It was at that time they took residential shoreline
and the property in question we (the city) is seeking to purchase. It caused such an up
roar within the community through this condemnation of residents property that the water
department agreed to hire several Centerville residents to work for the water department
as a gesture of good faith.
I can only assume if condemnation occurred the St. Paul Water Department is a government
body and not a private company. And if they obtained the property through condemnation
can they resell the property?
According to one resident the water department had a 99 year lease for the property in
question as well as the shoreline and never actually owned the property to begin with.
I feel this may be worth investigating through Anoka County. Mel said is grandfather was
paid probably only a few dollars through the condemnation process for his shoreline
property.
