INFORMATION ONLY: (A) March 11, 1992 city council minutes re Brimhall play equipment request (B) 1992 summer recreation program brochure Minutes Park and Recreation Commission Meeting March 9, 1992, 7 p.m. Members Present: Carol Huso, Lloyd Jacobson, Linda McLoon, Morns Nicholson, Jyneen Thatcher, Carol Weisberg, Sue Gehrz, Council Liason, Carol Kriegler, Parks and Rec. Director Members Absent: Steve Schugel, Dave Wickhem 1. Tour of Roseville Activity Center at 2800 Arona St. by Bob Biershied, RV Parks and Rec. Director. Bob indicated that this building had been owned by NCR-Compten until 8/91 when the city of Roseville bought the building and the surrounding 14.5 acres. The cost to the city of Roseville was $1 million. The building was upgraded and brought to present codes and first used 12/91. The Park and Rec. offices were moved to this site and they also manage the building. The building houses many different groups, in particular the Teen Center. 2. Correction to Minutes, Feb. 10, 1992: Item 2: Carol H and Jyneen felt the money for the playground request should come from the city contingency fund. 3. Creation of Task Force: Carol H thought it would be in order to form a task force as a subcommittee of the Parks and Rec Commission to study the use of Falcon Heights Elementary School as a park site for that quadrant of the city. Plans to upgrade that site have always been in the Comprehensive Park Plan. This needs to be coordinated with the school district, who have considerable demands on the open space around the school. A motion was passed to establish a task force of this commission to study the park and recreation needs of northeast Falcon Heights and report back to the commission by the June meeting. Vote- Yes: 6 No:O Abs.:O. Jyneen expressed an interest. Carol H will ask Steven Schugel if he is interested. We will invite members of the school and that neighborhood to be members at large on the task force. 3. Further Discussion of the Brimhall Playground Request: It was again reiterated that the request to the city council was for a decision concerning policy, and the final decision had to be from the city council. There was a great deal of lively discussion about this issue. As a commission our job is to meet the parks and recreational needs of all the people of Falcon Heights, from the very young to the very old. It was again stated that 60% of the Brimhall children live in Falcon Heights, compared to less than 40 % at Falcon Heights Elementary School. We also know that the recreational needs of many Falcon Heights children are met after school at Brimhall. This playground will be a community asset, for summers, weekends and evenings. It also provides an opportunity for true inter- community cooperation. It is true that the Park and Recreation Capitol Improvement Funds are tight. It is also true that there are areas within the city limits of Falcon Heights in need of upgrading in terms of Parks and Recreation needs. (see #3 above) There are certainly many people in Falcon Heights who will never use this playground facility at Brimhall School (or any playground equipment for that matter). As a result .~ of the lively discussion, it was agreed that we should all communicate our feelings to Sue Gehrz. 5. Support of MRPA and Friends of the Parks Requests: We generally agreed that this sort of request for legislative support of various park and rec. issues could be put in the city newsletter. We agreed that while we think they probably great resolutions, the commission should not vote or support general legislative issues outside our direct city involvement. 6. Parking Lot at the Community Park A bid was put out to seal coat the parking lot at the CP when the other streets are seal coated to save money. Proposed parking lot improvements at the CP were distributed, making the lot one way and angling the parking spaces. This should make the flow of traffic in the lot much safer. Everyone agreed the parking lot plans looked great. 7. Bathroom Facilities at the Community Park Due to the late hour, this was tabled for the next meeting.

This program was initiated after the city received an anonymous gift of $100 to be used for this purpose. The city now needs to establish a policy in an attempt to successfully manage this program. Issues to be discussed include: - Eligibility (residents vs. non-residents), to what extent, if any, "need" must be demonstrated - Possible revenues to sustain program - Scholarship value (partial program cost vs. full) - Limits: # of programs seasonally, annually, etc. Carol Kriegler will report on the policies used by other city's recreation departments in managing their scholarship programs.

ALL MEMBERS PRESENT Baldwin, Ciernia, Gehrz, Gibson Talbot and Jacobs. Also present were Chenoweth and-Hoyt. MINUTES OF 2/26/92 APPROVED Council approved the Minutes of February 26, 1992 by unanimous consent. CONSENT AGENDA APPROVED Council approved the following Consent Agenda by unanimous consent : 1. Disbursements: (a) General Disbursements through 3/5/92, $42,180.31 (b ) Payrol 1, 2 /16 /9 2 - 2 /2 9 /9 2 , $9 , 9 0 3 .9 8 APPROVAL OF REQUEST FOR $5,000 FOR BRIMHALL SCHOOL PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT (DEFERRED FROM 2/26/92 MEETING) At the February 26th meeting Council discussed the request for funding, then deferred the item to March 11 in order that all members might be in attendance for voting on the matter. Carol Weisberg, Brimhall PTA, stated she was representing the children of Falcon Heights, and again stressed that this is a neighborhood school attended by a large number of Falcon Heights children and that the school district has no resources for upgrading the playground leaving the children with an inadequate facility. Ms. Weisberg felt that the playground will meet recreational needs of residents of Falcon Heights as it is a short walk or bike ride and children like to play at their own school. She noted that the PTA has already raised $52,000 toward this project, will be establishing a fund for future needs, and that the present request for city funding is a one time request. Fred Storti, Principal of Brimhall School, restated his reasons for the improvements, safety, equipment should be developmentally appropriate, and handicap accessible. He stressed that the services will be accessible to everyone and agreed with Ms. Weisberg's statement that no matter where the children live, they prefer their own school playground. LaDonna Schugel, 1896 Holton, stated she was opposed to providing equipment at Brimhall because the city has already MINUTES MARCH 11, 1992 PAGE 2 ~ ~`y~ provided playground equipment to the children of Falcon Heights (at Falcon Heights School), and felt the dollars should be spent on the community park. She requested that if council votes in favor of the expenditure that it be published in the city newsletter so every resident knows how their tax money is spent. Ciernia asked if the request for funding had been presented to Roseville and Lauderdale, to which Ms. Weisberg replied in the negative. He also asked if the city had received a formal request from the school district and if an agreement had been drafted similar to the agreement for the Falcon Heights School equipment. Baldwin then read the formal request from the district and explained that his understanding was that the agreement would be drafted after a decision had been made on whether or not to participate in the funding. Gehrz commented on the March 7th Parks and Recreation Commission meeting at which the matter was again discussed and the Commission did reaffirm their original motion supporting city participation. She explained that at that meeting the commission agreed to create a task force to address improvements to the Falcon Heights School playground in time to present the information to council for discussion with the 1993 budgeting process. Gehrz indicated she was in favor of assisting in funding the Brimhall project as it is an opportunity to provide recreational resources to residents of the city at a reasonable cost, it would protect residential property values in Falcon Heights as elementary school areas do impact property sales, and sharing of costs with many groups makes it possible to provide resources (including those not presently available such as the proposed amphitheater) without expending excessive funds. Gibson Talbot indicated approval of the plan to study recreation facilities in the northeast quadrant. She also stated she was in support of assisting with the Brimhall project as she felt it would enhance recreational facilities and serve a substantial number of citizens, plus the fact that the city is focusing on cooperation with others for high quality service with fewer dollars . Ciernia stated he agreed it was a wonderful project but in representing all taxpayers of Falcon Heights he had trouble with providing the funding and commented on the need to address recreational resources in the northeast area. He indicated he was in favor of cooperation but felt an obligation to meet the needs of the city residents first. He also commented on the possible major loss of city revenue due to recent reductions being considered by the state, and felt it inappropriate to spend capital funds outside the city. #' A„ r. ~C A ~?~ ~'\ '~Y+ ~~ti: ~, 4 , MINUTES MARCH 11, 1992 PAGE 3 Baldwin indicated his support of the funding as he felt it was a good opportunity to cooperate and share as the school district has land, the city does not; the city has funds, the district does not. He felt that this project could be funded in addition to addressing any proposed northeast area project. LaDonna Schugel requested that the Mayor not allow anyone going door to door to help the Brimhall project if the council votes to expend the $5,000. Baldwin replied that the city does not have that power. Gibson Talbot moved support of the $5,000 expenditure for Brimhall School playground equipment contingent upon an acceptable agreement being drafted by the city attorney. Ciernia felt that expending funds for use outside the city was a significant departure in practice and since the Planning Commission annually reviews the Capital Improvement Plan, that this matter should be referred to that body for review. He offered a friendly amendment that the expenditure also be contingent upon Planning Commission recommendation. Gibson Talbot indicated she did not consider it a friendly amendment. Ciernia moved that the amendment to refer the item to the Planning Commission be accepted on the assumption that this is a significant departure from usual practice. Upon a vote being taken the following voted in favor thereof: Ciernia, and the following voted against the same: Gehrz, Gibson Talbot Jacobs and Baldwin. Motion defeated. Ciernia requested that the Parks and Recreation Commission be asked to draft a proposed policy for spending of funds outside of the city to avoid these types of arguments in the future. The draft will be placed on a council agenda for discussion. Upon the vote being taken on Gibson Talbot's motion for the expenditure of $5,000 for playground equipment, the following voted in favor thereof: Gehrz, Gibson Talbot and Baldwin, and the following voted against the same: Ciernia and Jacobs. Motion carried. The attorney's draft of the agreement between the city and the school district will be placed on the March 25th agenda. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS 1.
