Included in Your Packet:
A letter from Jodi, McGregor, Outdoor Ice Coordinator for Centennial Youth Hockey
Association, Outdoor Ice. The CYHA is requesting to reserve ice time for the 2002-
2003 season.
A memo from the League of Minnesota Cities recommending the 'homemade hockey
nets at Laurie LaMotte Park be repIaced with standard manufactured hockey nets' .
Updates on Outstanding Issues:
A copy of the plat map with the Pheasant MarshlHunters Crossing 1rail information has
been sent to Anoka County per WaYne's request.
The Web Site will be online and available to the public on October 11, 2002. It will
continue to be an ongoing process, but all of the information from the old web site will
be transferred at that time and the new sections will be available, although probably not
completed. I have included what I have in the Parks & Recreation Committee section to
date. I am open to suggestions as to what you would like to see included. I have a
section for current events and volunteer opportunities, if you have ideas as to what to
include. I also printed the section on Parks & Recreation which lists the city facilities.
To move the play structure from Royal Meadows Park to Laurie LaMotte Park, the
committee would need to write a letter descnbing reasons for considering the move and
the benefits of replacing the equipment with a basketball court. A Public Hearing would
need to be held noticing all residents within 350 feet of existing park and a notice would
be sent to the local paper, along with Parks & Recreation's letter. The Public Hearing
could be held either at a Parks & Recreation Committee meeting or at council level.

VI. COMMITTEE BUSINESS
i'
2003 Bud2et & Future Proiect List
Chairperson De Vine started the discussion with the projected total dollar figure for
2003. The committee then went through the previously prepared future project list
assigning priorities and dollar amounts. See the budget attachment for the :final figures.
There is $3,350 in two miscellaneous trail funds which will not be added to the.
projected total until Ms. Pau1seth, Finance Director, determines where this mon.ey came
from. ' .
In regards to future projects, Committee Member Peterson reports the Laurie LaMotte
parking lot can be paved for $42,000. Lino Lakes does not have any plans to repair
their portion of LaMotte Drive in the next few years. The committee feels paving the
parking lot should be top priority. Committee Member LeBlanc is interested in the city
acquiring a small parcel of land from St.Genevieves Church to run a trail from Lamotte
Drive to Meadow Lane. It would be approximately 700 feet from Centerville Road to
the parking lot at Laurie LaMotte Park. Committee Member LeBlanc is concerned with
children and bikers crossing Centerville Road at Meadow Lane to get to the trail at
Hunters Crossing. Committee Member LeBlanc also questions whether there is an
easement along Centerville Road which could be used for a future trail, Committee
Member LeBlanc will research this with the county. Committee Member LeBlanc
would also like to monitor the Centerville Lake property, which is for sale by the St.
Paul Water Utility
Chairperson De Vine will put in a formal request to Paul Patzer to replace the rotting
timbers at Tracie McBride Park as these timbers have become a safety issue. Committee
Member Seeley has information on prices and manufacturers of recycled timbers, prices
need to be compared to wood and information and suggestions will be passed on to
Public Works.

Park & Trail Plan
This item was tabled as Chairperson De Vine had not discussed the Park & Trail Pbin
with Paul Palzer. This item will be put on the next committee'meeting agenda.
Pheasant MarshIHunters Crossin2 Trail
City Administrator Moore-Sykes had requested the Parks & Recreation Committee
review the need for a crossing/warning sign where the trail from Hunters Crossing runs
across Centerville Road to the Pheasant Marsh Itrail. Tom Wilharber came before
council to request something be done as it is a dangerous situation for bikers who are
not aware that they are coming onto a busy county road. Ms. Moore Sykes would like a
letter drafted by Parks & Recreation to Mioka County. Chairperson De Vine asked
Committee Member LeBlanc ifhe would contact the county and see what needs to' be
done and report at the next committee meeting. Committee Member Peterson suggested
contacting Forest Lake to determine how they were able to put a crosswalk in on
Highway 61, north of Broadway.
Lion's Branch Club ReDort on Concession Sales ~'
Committee Member Pell submitted a report for the Centerville Lions Branch Club 2002
Concession Sales at Laurie LaMotte Park. The report shows total revenues at $499.00,
expenses $340.14 and profits of $185.40 with 20% to Park and Recreation at $37.08.
The Branch Club sold concessions for eight (8) nights during the Little League season.
Sales were zero at the current warming house location-for the first few nights. Once the
Branch Club moved to a table near the ball fields, sales improved.
Submittin!! Requests for Charitable Gamblin!! Funds
The committee discussed the idea of requesting charitable gambling funds from Dead
Broke Saddle Club and the Spring Lake Park Lions
Motion was made by Committee Member Peterson, seconded by Committee
Member Lee to recommend to council to approve City Admini!iltrator Moore-Sykes
working with Committee Member Peterson as a representative of the Parks and
Recreation Committee, to submit an application to Dead Broke Saddle Club
requesting approximately $1,000 to purchase a set of bleachers for the Laurie
LaMotte Park ball fields. An application would also be submitted to the Spring
Lake Park Lions requesting approximately $2,000 for bike racks for each of the S
parks in CenterviIIe.
Committee Member Seeley will get prices for bleachers and bike racks.

$26..000 Charitable Gamblin2 Funds
Committee Member Pei1 submitted a letter to the committee from the Centerville Lions
Club which states the Lions have contacted the Architects for-Bruggeman Companies to
start a couple of design scenarios for expanding and remodeling of the existing park
building, located at Laurie LaMotte Park. Hopefully, these plans will be presented to the
Parks & Recreation Committee at the October Meeting. Committee Member Peterson
presented a tentative drawing, with dimensions of 40 x 50, of a poSSIble design plan. for
the warming house. These ideas were discussed by the committee and will be given to
the architects.
Motion was made by Committee Member Lee, seconded by Chairperson DeVine,
to recommend to council the designation of the approximately $26,000 charitable
gambling funds to renovate the existing warming at Lamie LaMotte Park. All in
Favor: Motion passed unanimously.
Chairperson De Vine questioned whether the roof on the ClUTent. warming house could
just be patched for now, opposed to replacing the root: and isn't this a mainte~.
issue that Public Works should be looking at instead of the Parks & Recreation < ,
Committee.
Vll. UPDATES
Skate Park. (Monthly Review\' .
There are still residents questioning why the half-pipe has not been instaJled at Wheels
Park. Chairperson De Vine will discuss it with Paul Palzer. .
Bonestroo Trail MaDIEDC New Resident Packet
This item was tabled until the next scheduled committee meeting as Chairperson
De Vine has not met with EDC Members Scheller and Terway. Committee Member
Walter has taken some digital pictures of local parks and Committee Member LeBlance
will take some trail pictures.
Acorn Creek Park Trail Repair
The Acorn Creek Trail still needs work. The trail is leaking under the pipe and eroding
the trail. Committee Member Peterson reported the developer needs to pump concrete in
and around the pipes to stop the erosion. The City Engineer has not signed off on this
project. In working on the trail the developers has broken up two sidewalk panels and
dirt keeps nmning off onto the trail. This section of the trail is being handled through the
developer, the City Engineer and Rice Creek Watershed.

.Minutes 09-04-02
SCORE Funds
Committee Member Seeley presented information to the conui:1ittee after meeting with a
SCORE Fund representative of Anoka County, Carolynn Smith. It was again
emphasized that SCORE funds need to be used on educational type programs and
cannot be used to purchase equipment such as bleachers or bike mcks, even if the
equipment is made out of recycled materials. Ms. Smith did suggest looking into OEA
Grants for next year. Committee Member Seeley also has a phone list for Minnesota
suppliers of recycled products. Anoka County Parks has had great success with using
recycled products. The benefits of a longer life, maintenance free, and practically
indestruct10le outweigh the added costs. "t'
County Road 14 Exoansion
The Anoka County Engineer was at the last council meeting and left maps of a proposed
design for County Road 14. He specifically said the maps were the first proposal and
Anoka County would not even be in the planning phase until probably Spring or Fall of
2003 and there will be numerous meetings. scheduled before that time. The work will
not begin on the road until probably 2005 and the funding is good until 2008. The
- intended road will be 44 feet curb to curb and although designed as a 4-lane road, only 3
lanes will be used with one lane as a turning lane. Maps will remain in the council
chambers for residents to review. There are no plans for work on Centerville Road.
The committee would like updates on County Road 14 as it affects potential trails and or
sidewalks.
R08Val MeadOWS Park
The committee had a discussion as to how to have a public input meeting on moving the
play structure from Royal Meadows Park to Laurie LaMotte Park and replacing it with a
bigger basket ball court. Ms. Stephan will report at the next meeting.
Motion was made by Committee Member Walter, seconded by Committee member
LeBlanc, to adjourn the September 4, 2002 Parks and Recreation Meeting at 9:12
p.m. All in Favor: Motion carried Unanimously

· It's considered that new trails that were proposed for Main street (Mill Road to Shad Ave) would
better be done in conjunction with the Main street "4 lane" improvement project in 2005 or 2006.
· It was reported that a shelter in Acorn Creek Park d~ nm seem to be d~ired by nearby r~idents.
Therefore, at pr~ a shelter in Tracie McBride Park is all that seems needed right now.
· Park and Recreation requests budget forecasts of all applicable fund categori~ (including all park

2001 - 2002 Goals & Objectives
Adopted by City Council May 23, 2001
PARKS AND RECREATION
The fundamental Questions that need answering are what
recreational services do citizens want, how will the service be
provided, who will provide the service, and what facilities are needed
to support the identified services. This is what Park and Recreation
needs to figure out In a nutshell, this is the Parks and Recreation
Goal.
Already improvement dollars from the Parks and Recreation
Development Fee Fund are allocated for laMotte Park to build a
combination skateboard rinklhockey rink (Wheels Park) and to ~.
provide electrical power for the park and Fete de Lacs celebrations.~
These facilities must be built for the 2001 summer recreation season
and are out for bid at this writing.
GO
Now is the time to focus on a comprehensive recreation plan for all of
the citizens of this community. Item 1 focuses on the recreation
program needs. Initial discussion in February with Parks and
Recreation Committee Members identified the need for Pilot Projects.
Try out an idea, evaluate it, modify it, adopted it, or drop it if the
project doesn't pan out The ideas presented below are not intended
to limit the creativity of the Committee, but we need to m6ve towards
a recreational program.
Park and Recreation
Item 1. Pilot Projects:
Wheels Park and LaMotte Electrical:
Dedication fees from the Park Development Fund were used. Council
recognizes the need for General Fund support for maintenance and
program. These dollars will be evaluated as the Park and Recreation
Committee expresses budget needs. In the FY2002 budget, a new
General Fund line item called Recreation Programs will be
established. This money is to be accounted for in a new budget Code
45300 and used for the purpose of funding recreational programs
and maintenance of parks to benefit Centerville residents.
In the current FY2001, Council will work with the City Administrator to
reallocate existing FY 2001 dollars to accommodate pilot projects as

~
Summer Youth:
Determine appropriate vendors to provide summer youth recreational
activities using city parks and facilities. YMCA is already developing a
program for 6-10 year olds, but a program needs to be developed for
older youth as well. Weeklong camps for sports (soccer, baseball,
basketball etc.), science. nature, or any other item of interest should
be implemented for summer 2001 as a pilot program using the
dollars allocated. The committee should also explore using
Centerville Elementary School for supervised recreational activities
throughout the year. The committee is encouraged to contact Lino
Lakes Park and Recreation to determine if there are any
opportunities that could benefit citizens of both communities. This
item is intended to enhance recreational opportunities that already
exist such as Little League Baseball and soccer elal. Again in may
be too late to implement this in 2001. If so, summer 2002 is the target
date for implementation.
SwImming
Swimming is another pilot project and there could be many more
ideas that surface. Also explore providing safe and supervised
swimming opportunities at Centerville Beach for all citizens. Included
in this item may be bus service, supervision, lifeguards and other "
items that may be deemed necessary to accomplish the goal of safe:
access and supervision of the Centerville Beach swimming area.
Hours of operation and other implementation issues are to be
determined through a cooperative agreement with the County Park. It
may not be feasible to launch this program this summer. but it should
be implemented by next summer. Try it oullf there is low turnout we
won't do it

It is important that citizens have access to businesses, schools,
parks, and public buildings by walking and bicycling. Based on the
input of citizens and the committee, we must come to agreement on
a final plan. Some will say this is already completed. If so, we must
move to implement the access plans. The plan should include not
only trail locations, guidelines or standards for construction, but
priorities for construction. In conjunction with water lines in the
downtown area, we can improve access for seniors at Chauncey
Barrett. Another small segment could connect the new retail area
with the sidewalk at the Cemetery. Main Street on the south side
would enable children to get to parks and Comer Express.
Council has already allocated $10,000 in the existing budget from the
General Fund for item 46000 Trailways construction and
maintenance and ,we need to proceed with building priority projects.
Trail construction is an ideal opportunity for citizen participation and
volunteer help.

Re:
Laurie Lamotte Park Structure
In continuation of our conversation from your August Park and Rec meeting,
the Centerville Lions Club has contacted the Architects for Bruggeman
Companies to start a couple of design scenarios for expanding and
remodeling of the existing park building. Hopefully we will have these
drawings in our possession by the October Park and Rec meeting.
We look forward to meeting with the Park and Rec committee in October
and presenting these design options.
Respectfully Yours,

Commissioners:
.
The Lions of Centerville have contacted Bruggmann Contracting to
look at the possibility of remodeling and/or adding on to the present
warming / concession / maintenance / bathroom building located at Laurie
LaMotte Park in Centerville. One of the items that the Bruggmann
Contracting Company was looking for was the structural drawing for the
present building. I have contacted Paul Palzer, City of Centerville Public
Works Director; he has stated that he has no drawings. I then attempted to
contact the Cities previous engineering firm Maier Stewart & Associates
which were intwn bought out by H.R. Green Company, but they stated that
anything that pertained to the City of Centerville was turned over to
Bonestroo Roesne AnderIink & Associates. I contacted Tom Peterson, the
present City Engineer, but he said that the only things that his company had
received from H. R. Green were utilities and street drawings and information
pertaining to the aforementioned.
The Lions of Centerville will continue to pursue for information on
the building other wise we will ask Bruggmann to go ahead with some ideas
concepts for the present building. I have located the locations for the
electric / gas / water / sewer services surrounding the building along with the
storm water drainage locations. It looks like an addition could be added
onto the East end of the present building to make it more useable in the
future.
The Lions of Centerville wanted to insure that the Park & Recreation
Committee was informed of what steps the Lion Club is pursuing and
looking also for your input concerning any future plans for the building.
Thank you for listening to this presentation.

I may not make it tonight. I got a cold from somewhere and my voice is all but gone...
I sent a status on the trail crossing and as far as signs on Centerville Road go, it needs Anoka county
highway to analyze the situation which is in progress.
"1'
I would like to recommend the city put in a pedestrianlbike stop sign on the trail both east and west of
Centerville Road. It would be nice if there was also some yellow paint or something put on the trail
before Centerville Road, again both east and west of Centerville Road. If someone could please make
that motion.

Dear Ms. Pemble:
Enclosed please find copies of maps showing the trails within the City of Centerville.
Currently, we have a situation whereby trails eD;d'at county roads or are proposed to en4.
at county roads. Of particular concern is the trail from Hunter's Crossing that inters~
Centerville Road/CSAH 21 on the west side. Across Centerville Road/CSAH 21 to the
east, is a developing residential area that has a proposed trail that will intersect
Centerville Road/CSAH 21 across from the trail at Hunter's Crossing.
A resident raised the issue of young children riding their bikes on these trails and asked if
there was anything that could be done to warn the children of the potential danger of
riding out onto Centerville Road/CSAH 21. This concern was passed on to ow: Park and
Rec Commission, of which Wayne LeBlanc is a member. Mr. LeBlanc suggeSted that I
send these maps to you for your review and consideration. We are asking you for your
opinion of the situation and any suggestions about how the safety concerns might be
addressed, i.e. trail signs, pedestrian crossings.
Thank: you for your time and consideration of this matter. If you have any questions or
comments, please feel free to call me at City Ha.R 651-429-3232.
Sincerely,
