L CALL TO ORDER
1. Roll Call
Chairperson Ms DeVme called the meeting to order at 6:35 p.m.
II. PUBILC HEARINGS
m. APPEARANCES
Mr. Bill Bisek, Kelly's Comer was on the agenda to discuss use of the ball
fields for an upcoming tournament, but did not appear.
The Centerville Lions were on the agenda to discuss gambling fimds and park
shelter/concession stand issues, but did not appear.
The City Administrator Ms. Moore-Sykes attended the committee meeting to
Page lof6
~
",
discuss and clarify any questions concerning the financial statements and how
that affects the satellite enclosures and the hiring of a Skate Park Attendant.
She also presented an update on the Clearwater Creek Trail that runs through
Acorn Creek Park. Portions of this trail have been washed out. Council
Member Broussard Vickers requested something be done with this trail as soon
as possible. The Parks and Recreation Committee did a tour of the parks on
April 20, 2002 and it was apparent that this trail is a dangerous situation. The
city engineer is currently talking to the developer and the problem is being
looked into. Mr. Peterson reported there are cones on the trail marking the
dangerous spQts, but he finds these submerged in the creek and must remove
them daily. More information should be available by the next committee
meeting.
There is possibly money available to hire a Skate Park Attendant, but the hours
of coverage need to be determined and a recommendation presented to council.
The $17,000 that was originally in the budget for an intern was used towards
the Finance Director's salary. There is currently $1,200 to $1,800 available
towards a Skate Park Attendant salary, but depending on the amount requested
the City Administrator feels money can be taken from another area. Ms. Peil
questioned how much money was remaining from the Ice Rink Attendant
budget as there was very little ice this previous winter. The rink was open for
3 weeks, and the finaricial statement shows there is $200 left in that area. Mr.
Peterson suggested the money from the insurance cl.ain:J. for the stolen ramp be
used towards the Skate Park Attendant, as they do not feel replacing the ramp
at this time is advisable. This is an option.
Discussion as to what hours the park should be open and what hours an
attendant should cover. Staff sent out a request for adult volunteers at the skate
park with the quarterly utility bills, but only 2 parents responded. Ms. De Vme
,
responsibility of the Skate Park Attendants. It was determined these issues can
be resolved at the next scheduled meeting, if the council approves the hiring of
attendants.
Discussion as to when the park should open, and it was decided that would be
determined by when it could be staffed, either. by vobmteers or paid attendants.
Ms. Peil suggested the problems which occurred last year at the skate park may
resolve themselves if there is an adult presence.
~ CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES
One correction to the April 3, 2002 Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting
Minutes was made by Ms. DeVme changjng the new rate for 2002 Park
Dedication fees from $3,000 to $2, 000 per lot
Motion was made by Mr. LeBlanc, seconded by Ms. DeVme, to approve
the April 3, 2002 Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes. AD
in Favor: Motion passed unanimously.
~ OLD BUSINESS
Concessions at Laurie LaMotte Park
update on the Lion's Branch Club selling concessions at Laurie LaMotte Park.
Mr. Peterson will get a copy of the. Little League .schedllle for the Branch Club
and drop it off at City Hall. Mr. Walters reported the first game is held on
Monday, May 6. Ms. DeVine said they would start selling concessions at that
time and continue each Monday, Wednesday and Thmsday throughout the
Little League season. Ms. DeVine or Ms. Peil will stop at City Hall for a
warming house key and pay the $20.00 key deposit Keys for the bathroom
and the concession area will be left in the warming house. Mr. Peterson
inquired as to advertising, but the Branch Club thought word of mouth at the
games would be sufficient. Ms. Capra had Previously suggested calling the
Health Department to ensure any permits needed were acquired. Because they
are selling pre-packaged goods, Ms. Peil did not think a permit was necessary,
but will check with the county and state. Mr. Peterson will get the popcorn
machine out of the way and clean up the kitchen. Ms. Peil thought they might
just move tables close to the playing area and sell concessions from the table
instead of using the warming house concession area. Mr. Peterson will bring
Page 3of6
~
the old tables from the council chambers to the warming house for this
purpose.
Enclosures for Satellites
Mr. Walters presented the information he obtained from Home Depot in
regards to size, type of material and price of constructing the enclosures. Mr.
Peterson added the price of concrete and what it would cost to rent an auger
that attaches to the bobcat. It was decided it would be more economical to rent
a 2-man posthole digger. Mr. Lee said he would price these at All Season
Rental. As there is an additional charge for a small load of cement, it was also
decided it would be more economical to order the cement for the satellite
enclosure footings and include the cement pads for the picnic tables. Mr.
Peterson said it would be at least 3 weeks before Public Works is available to
do the forming. A discussion was had as to the best positioning of the Acorn
Creek Park satellite to block the view from the neighbors, but keep the satellite
serviceable and handicapped accessible. The possibility of using class 5
instead of cement was considered, but decided against. The satellites to be
enclosed are located at Acorn Creek and Tracy McBride Parks. The satellite at
Eagle Park is screened by trees, Laurie LaMotte's satellite is occasionally
moved, and Royal Meadows does not have a satellite this year due to the
damage and vandalism that has been occurring at this park. It was decided
Public Works would form up the cement pads and do the footings. The Parks
and Recreation Committee as a group will assemble the enclosures.
Motion was made by Council Member Walter, seconded by Council
Member Lee to recommend to Council the enclosure of the two (2)
satellites currently located at Acorn Creek Park and Tracy McBride Park.
The enclosures would be constructed with green treated wood. The Acorn
Creek Park enclosure would include a cement, handicapped accessible
path/approach from the street. The enclosure projects wiD not exceed a
total of 51,000 and be eoDStrueted on the site where the satellites are
currently situated. AU in Favor: Motion passed nnAnimously.
Bonestroo Trail Map
Mr. Peterson talked to EDC Committee Member Betsy Scheller in regards to
the Economic Development Committee including the Bonestroo Trail Map in
the next new resident folder. Ms. Scheller said she personally thought it was a
great idea, but EDC has not had a quorum for the last two meetings and they

were Wlable to vote on this issue. Also, there are 150-200 new resident folders
remaining, which need to be used before an order can be placed. It was
suggested the phone munbers for all local athletic associations be incorporated,
as well as adding the tennis cowt to the map. Mr. LeBlanc suggested putting
the traiI maps on the web site. Ms. DeVme questioned why the web site isn't
updated. Ms. Stephan said she is currently working on the new web site, but
there has not been enough staff time available to complete the project
Wheels Park
Continued discussion on Wheels Park. Mr. Peterson questioned whether an
attendant would be able to use the facilities while working and it was decided
that this would not be recommended. The Skate Park: Attendant. would not be
allowed to roller blade or skate board as the potential for getting hwt is greater
than for the Ice Rink Attendant Mr. Lee questioned whether it would have to
be a City Employee who supervises the rink attendants as he would possibly be
willing to take this position. Ms. Stephan will check with the City
Administrator. TIme cards can be left in the warming house and picked up by
staff along with a journal where any problems are reported. Discussed possibly
insulating the ramps to help with the noise complaints, but Mr. Peterson said
this is not possible as the bolts cannot be covered up. The committee will
recommend the hours be posted as 8 a.rn. to 8 p.rn. though the problems will
occur after 8 p.m. as kids will still hang out after dark. The committee will
also request the Centennial Lakes Police Department make frequent passes
through the park after 8:00 p.rn..
Motion was made by Committee Member LeBIane, seconded by
Committee Member Lee to recommend to Council the hiring of Skate
Park Attendants. The attendants will staff the park between the. hours of
4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. seven (7) days a week. City Staff will determine
and hire the appropriate amount of attendants, handle the hiring process
and supervise these part-time attendants. The hiring of attendants will
not exceed 55,000 for the 2002 skate park season. All in Favor: Motion
passed unanimously.
County Road 14 /4-Lane Highway Expansion
Mr. LeBlanc questioned the status of the 4-lane highway expansion. Mayor
Page 50f6
~. ..
Swedberg said that the city still has options according to County Commisioner
Margret Langfeld. Mr. leBlanc's concern is if there is no road expansion then
perhaps the previous motion to take the money instead of having The Shores
install the trail should be rethought. Mr. Peterson said his opinion was to take
money and save it until we know more information for sure. Mr. leBlanc
would like to keep this on the agenda as an update. No action was taken at this
time.
VI. NEW BUSINESS
Parks And Recreation Committee Park Tour
The Parks and Recreation Committee did a tour of the parks on Saturday, April
20, 2002. Ms. De Vme would like each committee member to compile a list of
all needed improvements to be discussed at the next scheduled meeting.
Include anything to be considered if the committee had Imlimited funds. Mr.
LeBlanc would like to see things included as status updates, like the sidewalks
in Centervilla for instance, so these issues do not fall through the cracks.
Volunteer Brochure
Ms. Seeley designed a Volunteer Brochure and presented it to the committee
for review and suggestions. It was determined it would be given to the City
Council at the next Council Meeting to get their feedback on the idea. This
will be put on the next Agenda for discussion.
Motion was made by Ms. DeVme, seconded by Mr. Peterson, to adjourn
the May 1, 2002 Parks and recreation Meeting at 8:25 p.m.
All in Favor: Motion earried Unanimously
Page 6of6
".
To: Parks and Recreation Committee Members
From: Kim Stephan
Date: May 31,2002
Subject: Update on Outstanding Issues
The Bonestroo Trail Map Brochures were on the April 16, 2002 EDC
Agenda to be considered as part of their next New Resident Packet No
decision was made, as the committee did not have a quorum. EDC did not
have a May meeting as it was replaced by the Business Appreciation Dinner.
This issue will be put on the June 11, 2002 Agenda. It should be noted,
however, that we currently have approximately 200 of the folders in stock
which will need to be used before reordering.
The Acorn Creek Trail repairs are still being looked into by Tom Peterson,
the City Engineer and the Developer of Clear Water Creek. The issue is not
resolved at this time. Ms. Stephan will have more information by the June 5,
2002 meeting.
We have only had one application for a Skate Park Attendant as of May 31,
2002. The deadline for receiving applications is June 7, 2002. If the Skate
Park cannot be covered by an attendant and/or volunteers at least dming the
recommended hours of 4-8 p.m. what would the committee recommend as
far as opening the park? Paul Palzer, Public Works Director has said he
needs two (2) weeks notice to open the park. Since $5,000 was approved
and 3 months of coverage at 4-8 pm. will not use all of these fimds, what
additional hours would you recommend be covered?
Goetz Landscaping has made a first payment of $1,000 for the over billing
of the trees and installation. This has been returned to the Parks and
Recreation account that it was disbursed from.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council Members
FROM: Staff
SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Co1'ml11ttee Recommendations
DATE: May 3, 2002
The Parks and Recreation Committee made the following recommendations for Council
consideration at their most recent meeting of May 1, 2002:
Motion made by Committee Member Walter, seconded by Committee Member Lee ~o
recommend to Council the enclosure of two (2) satellites currently located at Acorn
Creek Park: and Tracy McBride Memorial Park. The enclosures would be constructed
with green treated wood The AcOrn Creek Park enclosure would include a cement,
handicapped accessible path/approach from the street. The enclosure projects will not
exceed a total of$I,Ooo.
WJ.th the construction of these enclosures the Parks and Recreation Committee hopes to
alleviate the complaints that these satellites have caused in the past.
The Parks and Recreation Committee does not intend on enclosing the satellite at Laurie
LaMotte Memorial Park due to the relocation of same on an annual basis for special
events (Fete des Lacs, etc.). Eagle Park is sufficiently enclosed by a wooded area and
there will not be a satellite at Royal Meadows Park due to ~ndalimn and destruction of
property occurring at this park.
Motion made by Committee Member LeBlanc, seconded by Committee Member Lee to
recommend to Council the hiring of Skate Park Attendants. The attendants will staff the
park between the hours of 4:00 p.m and 8:00 p.rn.. seven (7) days a week. City StaffwiD
determine and hire the appropriate amount of attenilant~ handle the hiring process and
supervise these part-time attenilant!J. The hiring of attendants will not exceed $5,000 for
the 2002 skate park season.
The Parks and Recreation Committee also desires that Council requests additional police
patrol of the park when an attendant is not on duty.
Please find the attached Parks and Recreation volunteer brochure, the Committee requests
Council input on same. The Committee intends on placing these brochures 8t City Hall
and used as an information tool and opportunity for residents to participate in their
COmm1Jl'ltty.

Wargo Programs 2002
Memo to Co_
Parks 8& Rec.
Recommendations.cL
Hi,
Attached are memos to council regarding your recommendations. The Parks & Recreation
Recommendation Memo addresses the satellite enclosures and the skate park attendant. What
they approved at the meeting last night (5-8-02) is as follows: .
You requested $1,000 for the enclosures. The mayor was concerned with asbestos in green
treated wood and would like you to use an alternative, cp3 was suggested. For this reason
they approved $1,500 since any alternative will be more expensive than green treated. All
other suggestions regarding the enclosures were approved.
The council approved $5,000 for the skate park attendant with the suggestion that any
attendant be 20+ years old as teenagers might have a problem interacting with peers as an
authority figure. Ms. Moore-Sykes will start the hiring process. Details have not yet
been worked out on this. Any input? The council is aware the position is proposed at
$8.00, so 20+ may not be reasonable.
I called Kathy yesterday afternoon to ask her advise as I realized council had not
approved the Wargo Summer Program. We decided to ask for funds for advertising, although
we were not sure what type or how much funds. In the attached 'Wargo' memo Teresa
specified $500 for the program itself and $350 for advertising. We had this added to last
nights agenda. Again, I. did not realize I needed to bring these motions to the council. I
assumed the chairperson or council liaison followed up on any recommendations or motions,
so we missed this. In your approved minutes from 4/3/02 it says 'Motion was made by Ms.
Peil, seconded by Mr. LeBlanc to accept the Wargo Nature Summer Park Program as laid out
by Mr. Murowski and charge a $2.00 prepaid fee per child.' it does not say recommend to
council. Nothing had been done about this and the program is supposed to start June 11.
Is it a done deal with Todd or does some type of contract need to be signed? Parks & Rec.
does not meet again until June 5. Nothing was decided about advertising. In the April 3
minutes it says Karla would check with the paper and Kathy would do up a flyer so
advertising could.start in May. I mentioned in a memo to you at the last meeting that
Rhonda from Wargo told me the school would distribute flyers as long as the program was
offered free of charge or with financial assistance to those in need of it. I can get it
on the sign in front of City Hall and on cable, and Kathy said she would work on a flyer.
How do you want to advertise? Linda asked the council for and received $1000 instead of
the $850 requested, so you have some options for advertising. Kathy will come in next week
to work out some of these details. Do you want to let Kathy or I know what your ideas are
about this?
The council has copies of the volunteer brochure with a request for feedback. They
thought it was a good idea and approved printing costs within your budget, if you should
choose to have it printed. Anything else you can think of?

I
The need for volunteers was discussed. It will be noted on the registration form
. that adult volunteers would be appreciated and parent involvement is encouraged.
Volunteers are especially needed for the biking/swimming and canoeing activities.
The committee discussed various ways of advertising. Mr. Lee suggested sending
home information from school, but questioned whether the school would do that
because of security reasons. Suggestions were the City Hall sign, cable, the
w~bsite and possibly the local paper. Advertising should begin in May. Ms.
Devine will check into advertising in the paper and Ms Pell will do a flyer
annOl.mcement Council Member Capra said that the City Council was considering
taking out a ~ page add quarterly in. the Quad and perhaps the Summer Park
Program could be included. Council Member Capra added the Parks & Recreation
Committee could kickoff this program by having a table at the April 27, 2002
Volunteer Recognition Day. Celebration which is schedul~ from 10-1:00 p.m. at
City Hall. This celebration is to show appreciation to all volunteers and their
families ~d to help promote volunteerism within the comniunity. It will also
include an award ceremony. Ms. Devine will need to let Council Member Capra
know if Mr. Porter will be presented with his recognition plaque at the award
ceremony on Apri127, 2002. Council Member Capra would like the Parks and
Recreation Committee to be involved.
Motion was made by Ms. Peil, seconded by Mr. LeBlanc to accept the Wargo
Nature Center Summer Park Program as laid out by Mr.. Morowsld and
charge a $2.00 prepaid fee per child.
AU in favor: Motion carried Unanimously.

Council Member Capra questioned where the balloons and balloon weights went
after the Fete des Lacs . Festival. She would like to locate these for the Volunteer
Recognition Celebration. Ms. Peil asked if staff had received her e-mail requesting
the remaining buttons for Fete des Lacs. Ms. Stephan will check on these supplies.
Council Member Capra reported the City of Vadnais Heights has a 'Party Trailer'
. to rent to residents for a nominal fee, which includes tabies, chairs and grills and
suggested perhaps Parks and Recreation would like to do something like that in the
:fiIture. Mr. Peterson will locate the Parks mid Recreation banner.

2. Mounted Rang81S help patrol the padcs.
From The Director:
I was hoping to give you an update on legislative
initiatives affecting regional pcJ1'/a funding, but
things are stlD up In the air. Hopefully, by June I wiD
have the final outcome 011 grant fUndIng for our
grant projects here at Anoka County Parks.
In the meantime I want to share with you some
information about the growth In the use of our par/<
fao/Dtles that we have seen over the past few years.
In the process of putting the finishing touches on
our annual report, U became vety evident that we
have wUnessed a considerable Increase In facllUy
revenues since 1996. One of the more interesting
aspects of the report touches on the growing
annual Income at our campgrounds and park
entry stations.
The use of the campgrouncls has really picked up
In the past few years. The escaJatIng price of
gasoline and a downswing In the 9conomy may
have something to do with U, but we'd like to think
that recent Investments In campground upgrades
Is also playing a role. For example, In 1999 the
department reopened' the Bunker Hills
Campground, following a $1.0 m1100n dollar
rencNatIon project funded by the Metropolitan
CouncIJ. The new campsites, restroom/shower
facl/Jtles, and other amenities have made the
campground so popular that advance reservations
are almost a necessity. The replacement and
upgrading of other par/< fac//Itles - Uke tralls and
plcnlo areas - Is also attraotlng family campers for
a weekend offun at the park. As a resuU, camping
revenues at Bunker HOIs have shot up from just
$2,862 In 1996 to $64,646 In 20011

Recent Improvements at RIce Cree/c ChaIn of Lakes
have also led to substantial Increases In camp/ng,
with a nearly two fold revenue /norease In the one
year ($47,147 w. $27,347 In 2000). _ New trails,
swImmJng beaoh faollItles, ohI/dren's playground
and bike trails are all making the difference In the
pub/Jc's perception of the parle as a c/ose-to-home

Recleveloplng and improving paJk facJlffles Is sIgn/llcan1ly
increasing comb/necl revenues at the counJy's two campgrounds.
LIke camping, vehicle entry permit sales are also
seeing nice Increases eaoh year. Undoubtedly, this
Is attributable to a number of faotors suoh as a
growing ooun1y population and smaU Increases In
annual perm{t fees. But there Is also good evlc:Jenoe
that the f/nanoIallnvestments In the regional pcJ1'/a Is
drawing more people who are happy to pay the
vehicle entrance fees to visit and enjoy the regional
parks. And nowhere Is the upswing more evident
than In the parks where oap/taJ reinvestment has
oocurred. For Instance, Lake George Regional Park
and Rice Cree/( ChaIn of Lakes Parle Reserve have
seen a 1200" Increase In entry gate sales sJnoe 1996
($160,OOOvs. $73,OOO). ThesearealsothepcJ1'/athat
have witnessed CNer $1.0 m1IUon and $1.4 m/IDon In
grant funds, respeotlvely, In the Ia8t three to four
years.
We look forward to the many oontInuIng and
planned Improvements to the regional parks system
In AnoIca County. OUr partnerships WIth the state
legislature, Metropolitan CouncIl, and conservation

Anoka County Parks Is Cleaning Up
The Maintenance Unit has recently switched the
cleaning products program. In keeping in line
with the mission of environmental stewardship,
the new products are much more environmentally
friendly and cost effective as well.. The
product line is Enviro Solutions. Some of the
benefits include:
The organic ingredients are all
biodegradable in their diluted states.
Naturally based renewable ingredients are
used where possible.
The products are considered non-toxic at
their dilutes states.
The products are recognized as acute to
toxicity standards for fish and
invertebrates.
Highly concentrated product and proper
dilution saves time, waste, usage, and
packaging.
Approximately 80% is saved in waste.
The dispensers allow for more accurate
dilution. The color-coded system assures
accuracy and the wall mounted dispensers
are designed for efficiency meaning fewer
spills and splashes.
All locations within the system will be
standardized for ease of use by all
staff. Products are available for
windows, floors, toilets, and general
disinfecting and cleaning.
Tests have shown the Enviro Solutions are
comparable to other commercial products in
effectiveness. The product line is available
through the State Purchasing Contract from a
local vendor. The Maintenance Unit is pleased
to incorporate the mission of the Parks and
Recreation Department into the daily operation.

Seasonal Employee Recruitment Update
Seasonal Employee Recruitment has been going very well
for the Parks and Recreation Department in" 2002 and it is
expected that the department will fully satisfy its summer
employment needs in early May. This is the first-time we
have accomplished this since initiating a deparbnent-wide
recruitment process in 1996. While we have diversified our
job recruitment methodology, a lot of the sucaiss of this
year's recruitment is due to a weakened state and national
economy, resulting in fewer summer jobs.
Currently we have enough employees and appUcations for
the Bunker Hills Wave Pool and we are not accepting any
more applications in this area. We are 90% full for
seasonal positions for Park Maintenance, Swimming
Beaches, Chomonix Golf Course, and Gate Attendants. We
are still looking for experiencecl maintenance personnel,
experienced lifeguards for our swimming beaches in
Columbus, Uno Lakes, and Oak Grove, and Starter Rangers
for Chomonix Golf Course. We still have a need for Park
Rangers, especially experienced Iaw-enforcement persons.
We are not accepting applications for the Wargo Nature
Center or for students under 16 years of age.

Wave Pool Preparation
The 2002 season is ahnost here and preparation is in full swing.
ThIs month we hired our 55 people to work at the facility and it was
nice to see that 37 of them were returriing from last year. Hiring is
always a time consuming process and Will now make it easier to get
other thing rolling. Ordering and getting supplies for the season is
the next step in the preparation. This includes deck chaUs, rental
tubes, staff clothing, concession equipment, and many other
supplies. We also began to contact vendors for concession products
and start planning the menu at the concession stand. It is a busy
time trying to prepare for our 60,000 or more visitors.
Ground preparation north of the existing fi1ctlity
includes clearing to make room for the.new features.
The wave pool expansion actually started this month with the
ground preparation north of the existing facility. ThIs area was.
cleared to make room for the new features. It will be rough graded
before the season to avoid any disturbances during the operation
this season. The existing fence will be moved in to allow the
grading to take place and will remain there until construclion starts
tentatively in late August. The plans for the buildings and pool are
being finalized and we will review them before the go out for bid in
the next month.

Statistics And On-Line Reservation System
The Parks and Recreation Department's internet presence at
www.anokacountyparks.com saw a large increase in public
use in April 2002. The host of the department's web pages
reported 8,438 visits through April 24th. This is a large
increas~ from the 4,915 visits tallied in March 2002.
High in visits were specific web pages on the topics of
bikinglhiking trails, camping, horse riding, and park facilities.
If the usual springlime trend cOntinues, and our weather
improves, the web pages on camping, .picnic pavilions, the
, Bunker Hills wave pool, and Ch~monix'golf course wiU be "the
most heavily used. The department is proud to provide this '
continuously available inform~tion service to the public. .
In May, the department's administrative unit will meet with
vendors who provide software for on-line piaUc pavilion and
meeting room reservations. The ability for the public to
purchase vehicle entry permits, make camping reservations,
and sign-up for nature programs on-line is also of interest to
the department All potential department employees/users of
a new system are collaboratively providing input regarding a
new system's requirements. We are very excited to be
exploring this new avenue of 24/7 one-stop service to the
public.
Bunker Hills Stables Facility
Not long ago. the construction crews broke ground for
the beginning of the new Bunker HiII$ Stables - Arena
and Barn Facilities. Even though spring has just arrived.
the moderate weather through the winter has allowed for
an early construction start. Planning and concept design
for this project began a year ago with the planning team
touring various horse arena/barn facilities within the
seven-county metro area. Funding for the project was
appropriated from the Minnesota State Legislature in
2000 in conjunction with the construction of the Multi-
Purpose Building located at the Bunker Hills Campground.
The Arena and Barn Buildings were designed by Buetow
and Associates Architects with the bid awarded to
Rochon Corporation of Plymouth. The arena building,.
approximately 8.600 square feet. will be used for indoor
equestrian lessons and other in-door equestrian events.
Attached to the arena is the office. The office will house
staff for lessons and horseback riding events. Restrooms
and a classroom are a part of this facility.
The barn. approximately 6.000 square feet. is located
adjacent to the arena and will hold the horses for riding
functions. In addition. the barn will have a wash bay and
storage area for tack. Completion date for these facilities
is planned for July 1.
Construction is underway with ftaming of the new indoor arena.
These facilities are part of the overall improvements to the
equestrian operations. Together with the additional site
improvements. the stables facility will offer an up-to-date
. . riding facility for the public to enjoy. .

Repetition And Ritual Opens At Banfill-locke
GRepetition and Ritual", an exhibition of the work of artists Alexis
Kuhr and Jeannine Spooner Kitzhaber opens at Banfill-Locke Center
for the Arts (BLCA) on Tuesday, April 23rd and runs through May
lrt'. Visitors to the galleries will be offered new perspectives of
everyday objects and common YisuaI phenomena.
In the paintings and dl'ClWings of Alexis Kuhr, the world is Q
concoction of fractured images - dots, lines, morsels of color, light,
and dark. New meaning is wrought from the patterns and shapes of

Kitzhaber brings the viewer a
fresh look at objects usually
tied to domesticity. Aprons,
pickles, and bowls of fMJit,
evoke a significance beyond
the mundane. Juxtapositions
of dress forms with
references to "high" art are
playful meditatoins on the
tl'Cll'\Sient, speculative, nature
of art and the weight and
heft of womanly practicality
as represented by the female
form. Kitzhaber's two and
three-dimensional objects
are finely crafted, multi-
layered works which make use
of a variety of unexpected
materials.
"Stilt Life With Fruit"
is a plaster cast and mixed media.

Oak Wilt Control Generates Firewood
Oak wilt (CeratocystJs fagaearum) Is an unfortunate tree disease
that causes frequent and widespread mortaUty among various
species of oak trees throughout the United States In a region
primarily delimited by Minnesota, Texas, South CaroUna, and
Pennsylvania. Approximately 20 species of oak and also OtInese
chestnut are considered to be susceptible to oak wilt Species In
the red oak group are more susceptible to the disease relative to
those species In the white oak group which have proven to be
more resistant
Anoka County Is especially wlnerable to oak wilt disease because
of the abundant oak forests In the landscape which are
dominated by species of the red oak group such as northern pin
oak and northern red oak. The oak wilt fungus enters the host
tree through a bark penetrating wound between April and June
and once the fungus enters the tree It can rapidly spread through
the roots and Infect surrounding oak trees that share a common
root system.
Within the Anoka County Parks System, several (100 - 300) oak
trees are lost each year due to oak wilt The Infected trees var.y
In size from 2 Inches up to approximately 30 Inches In diameter.
In 2001, an exceptionally high level of Infection was recorded
with a total of 2n oaks that were Identified as dying from oak
wilt disease. The Parks and Reaeation Department practices the
best known management prescription to control oak wUt which
Involves severing the root systems between Infected trees and the
healthy trees to prevent further underground spread of the
disease. To prevent the overland spread, pruning and or
construction that may cause wounds Is avoided between April and
July due to the w1nerable Inoculation window. In addition, the
proper sanitation If oak wood that has potential to produce spores
Is a~ a aitical element to reduce the threat of overland spread
during the spring months.
In 2001, an,exceptional high level ofin1ection was recorded. '
Page s
The Anoka County Parks and Recreation Deparbnent properly
manages all Infected oak wood and effectively utIIJzes the wood
by processing it into fIrewoOd that is used at the Rice Creek OIa1n
of Lakes and the Bunker HDIs campgrounds. ThIs past winter, a
private firewood processor was hired to effldently process the
oak logs Into high quality firewood. After the firewood is
processed, the Anoka CountY CorrectIons crews bundle the wood
and stack the bundles onto panets for effeclive transport to each
of the campground sites. Approximately 200 cords of firewood
was processed this past winter which will provide quality firewood
for several thousand campers this season.
Rangers Services
The Park Ranger Mounted Patrol Unit has again started a busy season
with Mounted Patrol Advisor Sharon Thompson leading the Waf.
Sharon has been instrumental in assisting with the wonderful
progress the unit is making. We have worked into the season with a
new Lead Mounted Patrol Ranger, Teresa Caroon. Teresa worked as
a Bunker Park Ranger and as part of the Mounted Patrol last Sl.D1Imer
and has worked since last fall maintaining and exercising the horses
in preparation for a great summer. This season we also gained Amber
Peterson as part of our Mounted Ranger team. Amber has been an
employee at Bunker Stables for the last several years and has a lot
of experience to add to our unit. I would like to take this.
opportunity to thank Sharon, Teresa, and Amber for the many hours
they have volunteered to make this unit a ~ccess. A.lot of time and
energy goes into not only maintaining the ham and the horses, but
also into grooming, outfitting, loading, trailering, and unloading the
horses for each event they attend.
Pictured left to right are Joe Korn:ar - Bike Patrol, Amber Peterson - Mounted
Patrol, Teresa Caroon - Mounted Patrol, and of course Rhapper and Mandy

As the new season starts the Mounted Patrol has already been a big
success at the first event of the season. Horses Rhapper and Mandy
were road by Teresa and Amber on 5aturd~, Apri12(1k for Earth
Day. As usual the Rangers and horses were very popular with the
community. The next event they will attend is the Kids fishing clinic
on Ma( 4th. They will be helpful for patrol and as usuaJ a big hit with
the kids in the community. We are looking forward to a great
summer with many parades and events included into the patrol
schedule of the mounted unit.

SKATE PARKS
INFORMATION & LOSS CONTROL GUIDELINES
This memo offers background information on skate parks, and loss control requirements,
recommendations, and liability coverage.
If your city is planning to build a skate p~ please call your LMCIT Loss Control Representative
at 612-766-3172.
What is a skate park?
A skate park provides artificially constructed structures for the skater to practice the in-line skating
and skateboarding. Constructing skate parks:
. Reduces conflicts between youth and authorities;
. Reduces damage to public and private property; and,
. Provides a safe place to practice the sport.
To ensure that skaters will practice at these facilities, it is important for local governments to work
with local skaters in developing a facility, and pass ordinances banning skating in other places.
Possible skate park features are:
· Half-pipe structures. This equipment is shaped like a U and can range from two to ten feet
high. A half-pipe purposely does not have a staircase to the platform area; this measure deters
unskilled skaters from using the ramp.
· Bowl structures. Bowls are pilings driven into the ground with clay packed around to form hills
and valleys covered with concrete, asphalt, or stand alone fiberglass flume type bowl. They look
like a large empty swimming pool with rounded edges and moguls contained inside of it.
· Street skating structures. Equipment such as rails, "fun box", and the "pyramid", reflect
obstacles actually found on the street and are often more interesting. These structures can
rapidly deteriorate with use, and it is necessary to budget for regular maintenance.
To date, there are no national standards for constructing ramps. However, some of the design
considerations recommended by the National Recreation and Park Association include:
I (
, ....~.
~ '
.~
. Users must be included in the design process;
. The size should not be less than 12,000 sq. it nor greater than 15,000 sq. ft;
. Construction costs should be approximately $8.00 per sq. ft. and include labor, materials and
profits for the contractor;
. The ideal location for a facility is in an existing or new park with access to restrooms, drinking
fountains and shade trees; and
. Different levels of the skaters' abilities must be considered, which can be accomplished by the
height, width, and slope of structures.
Injuries and IiabDity
Aggressive skating is a potentially dangerous sport. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission conducted a detailed analysis of the sport of skateboarding and found that it requires
complex motor skills. The maximum amount of motor skills are found in individuals that have hit
puberty; however, the aging process beyond the teens can begin to affect skateboard-riding
performance. It is recommended that children younger than five years of age should not use
skateboards.
The CPSC study found that regardless of age, experience is a key factor in reducing the likelihood
of injury. Another finding from this study is that in almost all cases of severe injury, the victim was
not wearing protective equipment at the time of the accident. The study concludes that wearing of
protective equipment could undoubtedly reduce both the frequency and the severity of skateboard
related injuries. Equipment that should be worn includes helmet, knee-pads and elbow-pads.
An American Medi~ Association study concluded that in-line skating and skateboarding leads to a
significant number of wrist and head injuries. The issue of protection against head injury is
particularly important because of the potential for long-term disability.
In its hazard analysis of skateboardS, the CPSC stated that because there is an element of risk in the
sport itself: even optimum conditions would not completely prevent accidental injury. An
experienced skateboarder, wearing full protective equipment and riding a well-engineered and
maintained skateboard in a carefully controlled environment is still at risk for injury or death. The
probability may be reduced but the risk cannot be completely eliminated. .
Potential liability exposure for cities include:
. Injuries to skaters;
· Injuries suffered by a bystander or spectator;
. Improper design, construction or manufacturing defects;
· Negligence based on irregularities in the skating surface due to wear or vandalism, in
conjunction with a failure to repair;
· Claims could be based on failure to warn or based on products liability (i.e., ifboards or
Safety equipment is rented or provided); and
· Injuries caused by a co-participant may give rise to claims involving failure to supervise.

~
What are the options for a IDwlicipal government?
Local governments have several options regarding skate parks including:
1. The city builds the skate park and operates it as part of its parks and recreation department. A
. prime example ofa city owned and operated skate park facility is the John Rose Minnesota Oval
in Roseville. Each person admitted into the park must sign and review liability waivers, which
are then kept on file. Skaters are required to wear a helmet, wrist guards, kneepads, and elbow
pads. All employees are trained to enforce rules of the park, and additionally, are trained in
procedures for preventing the spread of infectious diseases 1ransmitted by blood and other
potentially infectious materials. It offsets its expenses by charging admission to users.
2. The city owns the skate park and an association operates it.
3. The city owns the skate park and an association leases the property and operates it.
4. A nonprofit association owns and operates the skate park in private land.
~
For the last three options, skaters organize into a nonprofit association to build and maintain a skate
park. By leasing (or selling) land to the 8fOUp to construct and nm a facility, the city would be able
to transfer liability risks to the association. The contract between the city and the association should
contain proper hold harmless/indem.nification language and requirements for the group to have
sufficient in&urance.
An example of this approach is found in the relationship between Man1o,.tl> and the Man1cato Area
Skateboard Association (MASA). After two and a half years of setbacks, in 1993 this nonprofit
association was able to convince the city ofMan1c~o to donate land for a "roller sport" facility.
They needed to raise $127,000 to build the in-door facility, which is now known as the
"Woodworks.
These options are difficult to implement because it takes some time for skaters to organize. And
since the majority of skaters are between 14-18 years of age, there is a short time of involvement
and it is difficult to assure continuity. However, there are great benefits of working with a nonprofit
association. Skaters have an investment in seeing the facility succeed, and because skaters are
intimately involved in the creation of the facility, the park will offer equipment able to keep their
interest.
LMCIT coverage for Skate Parks
When planning a skate park, please involve your city's LMCIT Loss Control Representative, 612-
766-3172. If you have any questions about LMCIT coverage of skate parks, please contact your
city's underwriter at 651-281-1200, or 800-925-1122.
LMCIT offers member cities liability coverage for skateboard! in-line skating parks. After
conducting an in-depth analysis of skate parks, LMCIT devised a two-tiered approach for covering
these facilities.
. Tier 1 facilities have features generally less than three feet in total height No additional
premium is charged for this type of skate park.
. Tier 2 facilities consist of ramps with features greater than three feet in total height. Premium
rates for tier 2 skate parks will range from $2,500 to $7,500. Factors that will affect the
premium charge include:
. Anticipated attendance levels
. Size and number of ramps
. Hours of operation of the fi1.cility (i.e., open a few days a week versus each day)
Loss Control Guidelines for Tier 1 Skate Parks
Tier 1 facilities do not need to be fenced or supervised, although the city may choose to do so.
Ramps must have structural integrity and should be constructed according to professional blue
prints. Equipment and ramps must be fixed in place and separated by a minimum lO-foot use zone.
In addition, youth can not bring their own ramps into the designated skating area.
Signage is recommended including rules regarding the use of skate parks and indicating that
personal protective equipment is recommended to use the park's facility. Equipment includes
helmet and e1bow/knee pads. Regulations need to be enforced by the police and/or parks and
recreation department by the use of a formal inspection procedure. A weekly maintenance and
inspection program must be in place. Depending on the type of ramps and amount of use,
inspections may be needed on a daily basis to check for vandalism and wear.
Loss Control Guidelines for Tier 2 Skate Parks
Loss control measures need to be implemented for tier 2 skate parks. Although the following
guidelines give requirements and recommendations for tier 2 skate parks, those planning a tier 1
park should review the general themes.
If you are considering a skating facility, the five most important areas to include within your plans
are:
. Environmental controls;
· Supervision;
. Facility rules, regulations, and signage;
. Maintenance and safety inspections; and
. Enforcement of skaters wearing personal protective gear.
Environmental controls
Proper assembly and installation of ramps and equipment are crucial for structural integrity,
stability and overall safety. One source of information regarding skate park ramp design is available
through the International In-line Skating Association's web page atwww.iisa.org.
Installation of equipment should not deviate from the manufacturer's instructions. After assembly,
equipment must be inspected before its first use. As a precaution, the manufacturer's assembly and
'"
installation instructions and all other materials collected concerning the equipment should be kept in
a permanent file.
LMCIT recommends that skating be allowed. only in designated areas. The following specifics are
required for LMelT coverage of tier 2 skate parks:
· The skating area will need to be completely enclosed by a fence. The fence must provide
adequate protection for spectators from. flying boards, other debris and/or falling skaters. If open
at night, the facility must be adequately lit.
· Skater should never be allowed to bring in their own ramps~ handrails, or other .structures that
could be used to perform stunts.
. The desiwuued area must be secured by a lock during closed hours.
· Facility rules and regulations, including hours of operation, will be posted in a conspicuous
location.
· Competitions must be restricted to only those sponsoring orW'ni~tions who are able to provide
separate insmance coverage and a contract holding the city harmless and indemnified.
In addition, large advanced ramps should be accessible to only those of advanced experience and
superior athletic ability, and physical conditioning. Young skaters (between I I and 13 years old)
may not have enough body mass to use a larger structure.
Large rampslhalf-pipes are not recommended for average community and recreation department
parks. Large half-pipes are not used as much as other pieces of equipment. Most skaters are unlikely
to be able to use advanced ramps because of lack of experience and athletic ability. Also, large half-
pipes are the most expensive type of ramp with a cost of more than $20~OOO.
Supervision
General supervision, as it specifically relates to safety, stresses there must be adequate staffing for
all services and activities. The proposed facility must be supervised at all times when it is open to
the general public. The person or supervisor in charge of the facility must have sufficient
knowledge of skateboarding and skating to enable himJher to review and determine the skill level of
skaters.
An adequate emergency plan must be developed for the skate park~s operation. Staff members will
be trained regarding all safety rules and operational prOcedures. All training and orientation
information given to staff members must be documented and kept o~ file. Supervisors should limit
the number of people in the skate area to minimize injuries resulting from collisions. The facility
director should determine the patron limit based upon the size of the aggressive skating area, the
number of employees on duty, seasonal demand, etc. This will help ensure a safe management ratio
between supervisors and users.
Since injuries at skate parks can be severe, it is necessary that minimum medical standards be met
Besides having your personnel trained in CPR and first aid, you should have the following readily
available:
. A telephone or radio communications to emergency services;
. A complete medial first-aid kit on premises;
. Ice packs and sanitary towels available; and
. An accident report to be completed by facility supervisor on duty following any accident or
injury occurring at the facility.
A complete accident report should be filed by the employee on duty following any accident or
injury occurring at the skate park. All accident reports must be kept on file by the city. This report
should include:
1. Date;
2. Time of day;
3. Injured person's name, address and phone number,
4. If the injured person is a minor, the name ofhislher parent or guardian;
5. Names and phone numbers of any witnesses; and
6. A complete description of the events and circumstances surrounding the accident or injwy.
Faeility roles, regulations, and sigDage
An aggressive ska1ing facility must be signed and constructed with the priority of reducing the risk
of injury to participants and spectators. Written facility rules and regulations must be posted in a
visible area. Signage should be easy to read and must be accompanied by visual symbols, and
wherever necessary, be translated into the language of the community.
The facility will need to post and enforce established rules and regulations to include, but not
necessarily limited to:
. Operating hours and admission requirements
. Possible age and skill level requirements
. Behavior requirements
. Requirements regarding the use of personal protective and safety equipment
· Requirements concerning the fitness for use of skateboards and related equipment
. Skate runs should be labeled clearly as to degree of difficulty
. In addition, the park should retain the right to revoke skating privileges of participants who
are rowdy or who do not abide by the rules
All users of a skating facility need to complete the following:
. An understanding agreement of the rules and regulation of the park. (Attachment A)
· A facility registration card before using the facility. Registration cards must be kept on
premises. (Attachment B)
· A facility identification card that will be shown to gain entrance to the facility. The user must
carry an identification. (AttaC'.hment C)
. A warning and waiver signed by the skater and guardia14 if a minor. (Attachment D)
. .
Some ideas to provide more safety for those who participate include: lessons for novice skaters; pre-
use equipment checks by personnel; and inclement weather operational restrictions.
Maintenance and safety inspections
A large number of ~uries are caused by poor or inadequate maintenance, which could probably be
eliminAted by establishing procedures to address the maintenance problem. These procedures
include documented regular safety inspections, repair programs, and hazard identification training
for maintenance staff.
Safety inspections must become a major activity for all aggressive skating facilities. The rising
number of injuries - and the recognition that many of these injuries can be prevented through
planning and care - has underlined the need for a documented regular inspection program. Safety
inspections are an ongoing process from the installation of the aggressive skating structure un1il its
removal due to age, wear, or obsolescence. Inspections must be regular and based on a s1andardized
process form.
The more frequently the facility is inspected, the better the opportunity to spot any potential
problems. The frequency of insPections will be determined by the amount of use that the equiPment
receives, its present condition, its construction, and its exposure. Trust members are required to
conduct and document at least monthly self -inspections of all aggressive skating operations and
facilities.
Penonal protective gear
All skaters must wear safety equipment at all times. The protective gear currently on the market is
not subject to feder81 performance standards, and therefore, careful selection is necessary.
Protective gear will help absmb the impact of a fall. It should not interfere with the skater's
movement, vision or hearing. This equipment includes, but is not limited to, the following:
. . An appropriate helmet
. Knee and elbow pads
. Proper shoes

I spoke to our marketing department about making 1,000 copies of the 8 1/2 X
11 brochure. The cost for color, tri-folded, front and back (city map on
the back) sheets is $750.00. You would need to confirm the pictures on the
front before printing. Black and white is the same cost as color. Please
let us know how to proceed. Thanksl
