PARK BOARD MEETING
MONDAY, AUGUST 1, 1994
The City of Lino Lakes Park Board meeting was called to order at
6:30 P.M. by Chairperson George Lindy. There was NO audio or video
for this meeting.
Roll Call was taken, members present: Sharon Lane, Joe Schmidt,
Pam Taschuk, George Lindy, Amy Donlin. Members absent: Brian
Bourassa, Ken Johnson. Also present were Marty Asleson, Park,
Recreation and Forestry Coordinator and Mary Kay Wyland, Recording
Secretary for Sandra Wood and Jeff Schoenbauer, Park Consultant.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Amy Donlin asked for a correction to page 4,
1st sentence deleting "Amy Donlin said she was also interested. "
George Lindy stated that the Boards discussions seemed disjointed
with no conclusions. The flow was not as nice as usual. Possibly
this was a result of the audio problems. Joe Schmidt then made a
motion approving the minutes as corrected and was supported by
Sharon Lane. All voted aye. Motion carried.
OPEN MIKE: No one was present to speak under Open Mike.
CONCEPT REVIEW: Pine Ridge III - Marty Asleson explained that this
is a 10 acre subdivision with an overall density of 1.9 units per
acre. 19 Single Family lots are proposed. There will be a trail
on the north side of the plat connecting to both Ware Road and the
existing trail in Pine Ridge II which also runs along the south
border of Park Grove. A Cash dedication of approximately $9, 350
has also been proposed.
Amy Donlin questioned the wetland mitigation for the proposed
development. Ted Matke, Engineer on the project, indicated that
the only mitigation proposed is for the roadway. He added that
they will be enlarging the wetland area north of the roadway and
west of the cul-de-sac. Joe Schmidt stated that the project seemed
to fit into the area well and that the plat looked good. George
Lindy asked who would be putting in the trail and was advised by
Marty that the City would do the final blacktopping, probably in
1995.
Sharon Lane made a motion to accept the park and trail dedication
as outlined above and was supported by Pam Taschuk. All voted aye.
Motion carried.
UPDATES:
,^ A. Recreation Complex/Referendum: Marty outlined the process for
the Board and indicated that he had walked the site with Kate
Drewry, RCWD to review the wetland issues. Jeff Schoenbauer
reviewed the rough concept for the park and possible locations for
1

fields, shelters, and the like. The following items need to be
addressed:
1. Official Wetland Delineation must be completed.
2. Wetlands may have to be rearranged to maximum use of site.
If permits seem reasonable from RCWD then the City should
pursue the purchase.
3. Firm up concept plan.
4. Prepare cost analysis and phasing plan.
5. Package improvements for referendum.
Several questions were raised by Board Members. Amy Donlin asked
about Cedar Lake. Sharon Lane questioned the need/want for a
larger recreation type building. Marty explained that this had
been considered and may become a part of a new City Hall, at least
in the planning process for future consideration. Marty explained
that the neighborhood park concept may be incorporated into the
complex or may be addressed with the Trappers Crossing Plat. Joe
Schmidt expressed concern about the extreme southern location of
the proposed complex. Amy also expressed concern about traffic on
Holly Drive and encouraged the use of low impact lighting. She
indicated that the City should try to impact the neighborhood as
little as possible. Jeff Schoenbauer stated that due to the large
amount of wetlands on the site and in the vicinity that there
should be a minimal impact on adjoining properties. The next step
would be 1) delineate the wetland 2) appraise the site and outlined
payment options 3) take the concept plan to a Council work session.
Marty and George were considering flying the site on Saturday to
take additional photos.
B. OTHER PARK AND RECREATION UPDATES: Marty Asleson reported on the
following updates:
1. Parks/Recreation Office - moved in, seeding, landscaping
and sign to be installed soon.
2. Park Grove - park area is rough graded. Final grade and
seeding to be completed soon.
3. Country Lakes Park - engineering work being completed.
Some beach improvements made and brush removal.
4. Concepts for undeveloped parks - Birchwood/Park Grove Park
-neighbors had a meeting. Neighborhood interests and ideas being
developed. Most undeveloped parks - main interest in playground
equipment. Fundraising would be a source of revenue for purchase
of equipment.
5. Brandywood Park - neighbors getting organized (contact Jim
Bruce) . George Lindy indicated he would contact him.
6. Wenzel Farms - contact person doing some organizing.
Concept plan needed for the park.
7. LaMotte Park - bench, picnic tables, volleyball net and
some trees have been installed. Neighbors are happy.
8. Quail Ridge - we have tried signing the end of the
�..� trail/boardwalk - isn't working. Some fencing has been installed at
end of trail - at this time it does not go anywhere.
9. Staff has planted 380 boulevard trees. Next year we are
proposing contract plantings to save on staff time. Staff is also

working on landscaping and screening projects.
10. Lino Park Parking Lot is completed - gravel used in case
plan changes in future. Flowers planted.
11. Fawn Lane drainage problem has been corrected so the area
on south side of park can be mowed.
12. 175 to 250 people have been attending the performances in
the park. Very popular event - weather has been good.
13. Playground program was good - excellent workers.
14. Safety camp coming up.
15. Fall/Winter Brochure in the process.
16. Teen Committee is formed. Some good suggestions for fall
- dance, trip to Mall of America, ski trip.
17. Softball - fall leagues forming. T-Ball went well. Summer
softball program was successful.
18. Quarterly report reviewed.
19. Small fire reported on fishing dock.
20. Park and Trail Patrol is starting - could help eliminate
some problems in the parks. At this time, gates on the parks are
not being used.
21. Next year the department will probably be asking for an
additional part time seasonal worker.
22. Woods of Baldwin Lake park needs may be discussed next
meeting. It was suggested that the City check into using some of
the County Park property for a small neighborhood park. Marty has
walked the site and there is a lot of wetland. Possibly some of
the wetland could be cut and used for ball field.
23. Leonard & Bradley Park - equipment in place. Warming
house at Lino Park.
24. Trail Paving - some time mid-August. Total cost $25-
28,000. No paving in the Shores of Marshan Plat this year.
Waiting until next year.

AGENDA ITEM
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson
DATE: 8/29/94
TOPIC: Woods of Baldwin Lake II
BACKGROUND
Rockey Goertz, owner of Klosner Goertz Homes Inc. , submitted the
attached proposal for development west of the Woods of Baldwin Lake
and the Woodridge Development areas. Please see the attached
vicinity map and land use data.
This development is 5.59 acres in size and is zoned R-IX. The
minimum lot sizes are 12,825 sq. ft. for a housing density of 2.32
lots per acre, and a total of 13 single family lots.
This area has been an area of frustration in the acquisition of
adequate amounts of park open space. The areas that we have been
focussing on for future park area potentials are situated south and
east of this area south of Oakwood Lane and possibly to the west of
the southern portion of Oakwood Lane, as well as the possibilities
that might exist in the Regional Park. The service area for any
neighborhood park area ideally should be as centrally located as
possible, and within a reasonable walking distance from residents.
The Developer is proposing a cash dedication for this development.
There are no trail needs as defined by our Comprehensive Plan.
The cash dedication would be in accordance with our park dedication
formula. According to the unqualified information that we have
received from the developer, the raw land value with two houses
came to $307,500.00 for this 5.9 acres. Subtracting the purchase
price for two houses that were located on the property ( the houses
sold for $85,000, and $75,000 for a total of $160,000 ) the land
purchase price came to $147,500. The Park dedication for this
parcel would thus be $1,470.00. This money in my estimation would
be best served in purchasing a piece of the church property south
of Oakwood Lane as part of a larger plan to meet park land acreage
needs.
OPTIONS
1. Accept the Park Dedication for this development in the form of
cash payment to be verified by the project engineer for compliance
to our dedication formula.
2. Refer back to staff for further review.

Recreation Focus Committee Meeting
Tuesday, June 14, 1994
IN ATTENDANCE: Brian Bourassa, Marty Asleson, Dan Kieger, Ray
Weber, Rob Schleicher, Barry Bernstein and Corey Bauer.
Marty started the meeting by reviewing what was discussed at the
last meeting and teen programming came up. Dan Kieger brought
the point up that the teen committee could have a problem with
logistics between the separate school districts and could
possibly be the committees downfall. Dan Kieger continued to
explain that the Centennial group has been organized but if a
teen center was built, by the highway, it could service both
groups effectively.
TEEN FOCUS: Marty showed the committee an article that appeared
in the Star and Tribune Newspaper on June 12, 1994 . The article
was titled "Parks or Prisons" (see attached. Marty also made
copies of a National Recreation and Parks Association survey on
youth and what they like to do (see attached) . Marty eluded to
the fact if the committee forms a survey it should be broke down
into separate age and user groups. Rob Schleicher answered with
enthusiasm "lets get started! " Marty brought up the fact that
Brandon Young, Lino Lakes Police Officer, would like to work with
the teen committee. Brian Bourassa asked when the first meeting
would take place and what would be covered at this meeting.
Marty asked Rob when would be the best time for this to happen.
Dan Kieger mentioned that summer is so busy for everyone, but
this should happen before school starts. He also mentioned that
one of his children would like to be on the committee. Brian
Bourassa stated that Marty should make the primary contact with
the interested teen committee members on the list. Brian asked
what would happen at the first meeting. Marty said the first
meeting would give everyone a chance to meet one another. He
also mentioned that this would be the opportunity to gain trust
and rapport with this group. Marty stated that a dance would be
a lot of work.
SURVEY: Ray Weber mentioned the questions should be short and
simple. Ray also mentioned that the Comprehensive Park Plan has
valuable information within it. Ray asked what would you like to
see and get out of a survey. Brian Bourassa is all for a survey,
but asked if this was the first item the group should focus on.
Dan Kieger said the survey would give the group some additional
direction. Ray said the breakdown of the information from the
survey is valuable. Marty made reference to the last survey and
the information within it. Ray said to build a good survey you
must know user groups. He continued by stating he thought the
neighborhood groups should be gotten in contact with. Marty
mentioned he thought the best way to get in touch with the
neighborhood groups was through the Crime Watch Program the Lino

Lakes Police Department has setup. Brian wanted to clarify the
process and what comes first. He wondered if a user group list
should be made up. Ray Weber developed 4-5 questions on what the
users priorities are. Marty mentioned the groups that are
organized are athletic associations, church groups, boy scouts
and girl scouts. Corey mentioned the possibility of the Mommies
Group Connections. Marty said adult user groups could provide
information on needs. Barry agreed that a variety of groups
should have a sample taken from them. Marty also mentioned
persons with disabilities should be taken as a sample population.
Ray Weber added the type of questions asked would be general
enough to get specific information. Corey asked if we could
widen the survey to include nonusers and other persons besides
sport teams/associations. Brian suggested we come up with a list
of people who are organized to assist in building survey
questions. Corey Bauer asked if this would be a program planning
survey. Would you be able to open it up and see their program
offerings. Marty mentioned that this should not be a full blown
survey-
WRAP-UP: Marty said the meetings should be an hour in length and
everyone agreed.
N=ING SCHEDULE: The next meeting will be July 12, 6:30pm, at
the Lino Lakes City Hall.
ADJOURN: The meeting adjourned at 8:OOpm.

cause survey methods such as tele-

toward adults.
However, young people represent a
sizable segment of our population that
places it heavy demand on our re-
sources. 11tc Arizona Outdoor Recre
ation Coordinatingcommission and the
Arizona State Parks Board recognized
this oversight in our planning and,as it
result, proposed a study to gather the
needed recreation data from Arizona
youth.
The information gathered in this
study helped us target young people
with our programs,thereby increasing
their participation in and enjoyment of
these activities.
In a day and age when young people
often feel alienated from and ignored
by the adult world,park and recreation
programs that address young peoples
interests likely will be more effective in
keeping kids in sports and recreation
f programs and away from the dangers of
the streets.
Study Background
Our study began in the fall of 1992
and addressed three basic questions:
• Are parks and recreation areas in the
state adequate and are they meeting
current needs?
•What outdoor recreation activities are
children participating in and are any ac-
tivities that they would enjoy unavail-
able to them?
•What barriers discourage young peo-
ple from recreation participation?
The study's primary goal was to in-

City of Lino Lakes
Recreation Focus Committee Meeting
Tuesday, August 16, 1994
IN ATTENDANCE: Rob Schleicher, Brian Bourassa, Cathy Parno,
Marty Asleson and Barry Bernstein.
Marty opened the meeting by apologizing for the information not
getting out in a timely fashion.
TEEN SUBCOMMTTEE UPDATE: Marty introduced Rob Schleicher, Teen
Subcommittee Member. Rob mentioned the dance we are anticipating
having on September 21. Marty talked about the Rehbein building
and what needs to be done to possibly get the building ready for
the dance. Marty eluded to other trips that are in place for the
teens. Barry mentioned plans for a trip to the Mall of America,
Vertical Endeavors and a ski trip. Marty stated the ideas are
good and the Teen Subcommittee meeting went well.
PARK BOARD UPDATE: Marty brought up issues that are facing the
City of Lino Lakes Park Board. He mentioned the recreation
complex and then discussed the Mayors 20/20 Vision proposal and
^ how they will correspond with one another. He then discussed
alternative ideas and touched upon a recreation survey.
TRAILS AND PARKS: Cathy Parno said there was a communication
breakdown because there are no parks or trails in her
development. Brian asked about giving land and money for trails
and parks. Cathy said it is not the city doing the development.
Brian replied that with so much development going on the Park
Board has developed a priority list. Marty also mentioned that
in some developments the rock needs to settle down before driving
a paving machine on the trail. Cathy then asked what areas, in
her development, the new trails would be going in. She said that
she finds the trails by mistake because of limited trail marking.
Marty stated that a trail map was needed and that a study was
being done. Brain mentioned that the City deserved an A+ for the
trail system that we have in Lino Lakes. Cathy said advertising
for future construction projects should be in the paper and the
brochure. She also eluded to her frustration of no park in the
Wenzel Farm area. Marty said a concept plan needs to be brought
forward. Cathy asked if the Wenzel Farm Addition had $100, 000
for playground equipment. Marty responded that Rice Lake Estates
was the park that had the $100, 000. Marty suggested that Cathy
arrange a neighborhood meeting. Brian said it was a way to let
people know about park improvements and development. Marty then
said that every year dollars are put into the budget for
-00�*N development. Brian thought this was a good idea.

DISABILITY FOCUS: Marty mentioned corm ity bridging in regards
to program offerings. He stated that a compliance manual was
being done. Marty said the City of Lino Lakes is two years
behind in programs for persons with disabilities.

her yard. Marty explained about bark breakage in young Elms. He
then explained about bare root trees and said it was a real art
placing the trees. He also stated that the trees are very
expensive. Cathy then asked what determined a boulevard tree
and a tree that was the residents responsibility. Marty
explained boulevard and residential trees and stated that the
City will replace hers or any other residents tree that is
diseased and on the boulevard right-of-way.

Therapeutic Recreation Specialist to assist in equal recreation
opportunities for persons with disabilities.
We are planning a brainstorming/information sharing meeting for
August 31, at 7:00 P.M. The meeting will be at the Lino Lakes

^ THE HISTORY OF SOUTH SUBURBAN ADAPTIVE RECREATION
Serving the communities of Richfield, Bloomington, Edina and Eden Prairie
1971: Woodlake Nature Center identified the need for a part-time naturalist to work on
outdoor educational programs for the City of Richfield. Lil Hipp was hired to develop
outdoor educational programs for people with disabilities as a part of Woodlake's
program.
1972: parents in Richfield expressed the need for Adaptive Programs in the City.
Harvey Feldmen, the Director of Richfield Parks and Recreation set up an advisory
committee for Special Children's Recreation Association (S.C.R.A.). The activities done
by S.C.R.A. were staffed mainly by parent volunteers. Activities included floor hockey,
ice-skating, and outdoor educational programs at Woodlake Nature Center,
1974: Edina parents formed Edina Special Children's Group (ESCG). Led by parents
and volunteers, ESCG focused on leisure and recreational activities such as picnics,
dances, bowling, swimming, horseback riding,golf,special trips, and a Friday night social
program, which were provided on a year round basis. Program funds were received
through a combined effort between civic organizations and fund raisers. Other
compensatory support was acheived through a minimal registration fee and an
occassional program charge.
"Richfield Parks and Recreation opened a part-time position for an Adaptive
Recreation Supervisor, which also included the responsibility of the Senior Citizen
program. Lil Hipp took this position in addition to the Naturalist position and became a
full-time employee for the City of Richfield.
1975: Richfield built a Community Center and created the position of Community Center
Manager, which was filled by Lil Hipp. The position of Adaptive Recreation Supervisor
went to full-time and was filled by Betty Hansen. Betty accepted this position, which
included Senior Programs, after her internship with Richfield. A Federal funding system
called CETA, which provides federal funding to help cities develop many different types
of programs, completely funded Betty's position for the first two years.
"Bloomington parents, who have children with disabilities, worked on getting the city
to develop the Office of Special Services (OSS). The OSS was developed. Soon after,
the same parents began asking for equal recreational opportunities as peers without
disabilities.
+6129498390 CITY EDEN PRAIRIE 664 PO4 AUG 22 194 13:05
1976: Lorinda Pearson was brought in, on a part-time basis, to the Office of Special
Services in Bloomington to develop a broad scope of segregated recreation programs for
the summer. In the fall, parents wanted the recreation programs to continue on a year-
round basis. The recreation programs continued to be under the OSS Department until
1979 when the Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department took responsibility for
them.
"`Lorinda Pearson and Lil Hipp initiated co-planning of programs between
Bloomington and Richfield, with Betty Hansen entering in the co-planning at a later date.
The co-planning of programs occurred after noticing that both communities were putting
out separate brochures, and were duplicating programs while residents in each city were
able to access the other city's programs. Together, Richfield and Bloomington combined
resources, staff, programs, and developed one brochure.
**Eden Prairie Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources, and a group of parents
Initiated Adaptive Recreation Programs, but were discontinued due to a lack of resident
participation.
"The Richfield Community Center Building officially opened.
1979: The Office of Special Services in Bloomington opened up a full-time coordinator
position. Lorinda Pearson moved from Bloomington Adaptive Recreation to the OSS
Coordinator position. Deb Backstrom was hired to work full-time for Bloomington
Adaptive Recreation.
1980: The Learning Exchange joined South Suburban Adaptive Recreation.
1983. Residents in Richfield and Bloomington contacted the Office of Special Services
to request recreation services for adults in the communities who have mental illnesses.
Richfield and Bloomington began running drop-in programs one day a week. This service
was later called Charaka, named after a doctor in India who tried to get recreation
programs started in hospitals.
1984. Edina Special Children's Groups discontinued due to parental "burn-out" and lack
of funding from the City. Parents began advocating to the City of Edina to provide
recreation opportunities for people in their community who have disabilities.
1987: A four-city advisory committee was created with representatives from recreation,
community education, the Office of Special Services, and agencies/consumers. This
committee evaluated all the existing programs and the needs of the residents in Edina,
r-. Eden Prairie, Richfield, and Bloomington for adaptive programs.
+6129498390 CITY EDEN PRAIRIE 664 P05 AUG 22 '94 13:06
r� 1988: Edina and Eden Prairie contracted for a full-time Adaptive Recreation Specialist
through Richfield to supervise, hire, and develop programs in both communities. Beth
Timm was hired for this position and she developed programs such as Adaptive
Swimming Lessons in both Eden Prairie and Edina, E-Z Sports (now called Sports, Fun,
and Fitness), the Walking Club, Fun Fitness (now called Jump, Run, and Fun), and an
Art Program.
**The Joint Powers Agreement was signed with the four cities of Bloomington,
Richfield, Eden Prairie, and Edina. This agreement states that the four Recreation
Departments work cooperatively in sharing facilities, program development, and
coordinating staff. It also states that residents in any one of the four communities may
access programs in all four cities, if desired.
**Edina and Eden Prairie agreed to split a full-time position (20 hours per week in
each city), thus terminating the contract with Richfield. Beth Timm continued working with
Richfield while Laura Hinton Lancrete took on this new position.
**Adaptive Recreation/Learning Exchange (AR/LE) Advisory Committee was
developed for Bloomington, Richfield, Edina and Eden Prairie Parks, Recreation and
Community Education Departments, This advisory committee, composed of parents,
consumers, professionals, and agencies, provided guidance for the development of
^ recreation and education programs for individuals with disabilities in the four cities.
1989: Mo Fahnstock was hired to replace Deb Backstrom in Bloomington.
**Kristen Kunley was hired as the Adaptive Recreation Assistant in Bloomington.
"The South Hennepin Human Service Council, along with South Suburban
Adaptive Recreation (SSAR), co-sponsored the writing of a grant to obtain money for a
full-time staff person to provide recreation and education programs at Charaka. The grant
was received and South Hennepin Human Service Council served as the funding
administers for five years.
1990: Edina and Eden Prairie recognized the need for full-time positions in each city.
**Tria Vikesland was hired as an Adaptive Recreation Assistant in Bloomington.
1991: Edina and Eden Prairie each hired a full-time Adaptive Recreation Specialists
whose position is responsible for Adaptive Recreation and other areas, as assigned.
Laura Hinton Lancrete accepted the position with Edina. Sandy Wertz took on Adaptive
Recreation programs in addition to her Senior Services duties. Parents in Eden Prairie
+6129498390 CITY EDEN PRAIRIE 664 P06 AUG 22 '94 13:06
helped in getting Adaptive Recreation as a seperate service area from Senior services.
An Adaptive Recreation Specialist position was developed in Eden Prairie and Elyce
Kastigar was hired.
1992: Elyce Kastigar transitioned to the Aquatics Supervisor at the Eden Prairie
Community Center and Tria Vikesland was then hired as the Adaptive Recreation
Specialist.
"Crystie Dufon was hired as the assistant for Bloomington Adaptive Recreation.
**Kristi Youngquist was hired to replace Beth Timm as Adaptive Recreation
Supervisor in Richfield. Jackie Evans was hired as an Interim Supervisor when Kristi left.
1993: Mo Fahnstock accepted a position with the Institute on Community Integration at
the University of Minnesota. Crystie Dufon was promoted to Bloomington's Adaptive
Recreation Supervisor position. Dawn Mitchell accepted the Adaptive Recreation
Assistant position in Bloomington.
**Don Magnuson was hired as full-time Adaptive Recreation Specialist for the City
of Richfield.
1994: Charaka received new monies through the Mental Health Act. Administration of
those monies is through Multi-Health Resources.

TOPIC: Shorview Building Availability
BACKGROUND
A few years ago the Park Board accepted a park building donation
from the City of Shorview. The City of Shorview has another
building that the are replacing with an upgrade in Bucher Park,
just south of Ash (County Road J) Street. Jerry Haffman, the
Director of Parks and Recreation from Shorview recently called to
ask if the City of Lino Lakes would be interested in it. This
building is similar to the one in Birch Park.
The last building that we moved from Sitzer Park cost $2600.00 to
move. There were additional costs for slab and footings that were
needed in the poor soils at Birch Park. The concrete slab for this
project came to $5522, and the footings were another $3260.
Additional costs included sewer and water installation at $4364,
electrical installation at $2.30/ft, gas installation at $3.50/ft,
and engineering costs at about $1000.00.
Keep in mind that if we selected a site with stable ground we would
probably not need footings, and we probably can eliminate most
engineering costs if we used the same footing and foundation plan.
The building is also closer to Lino Lakes then the last building
was.
The City of Shorview stated that there is no real hurry on this
since they are building their new shelter on an adjacent site.
OPTIONS
1. Make a recommendation to acquire the building and proceed with
moving quotes.
2. Do not pursue this any further.
RECOMMENDATION
