City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting November 3, 1997 The November 3, 1997, City of Lino Lakes Park Board meeting was called to order at 6 :35pm, by George Lindy, Chair. Roll call was taken, members present were Kim Sullivan, Joe Schmidt, Sharon Lane, George Lindy, Pam Taschuk, Paul Montain, and Betty Piper. Also present were Rick DeGardner, Parks and Recreation Director, Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisior, Mary Fogarty, and Sandie Wood, Recording Secretary. APPROVAL OF OCTOBER 6, 1997 MEETING: Kim Sullivan made a motion to approve the minutes from the October 6, 1997 meeting. Sharon Lane seconded the motion and the minutes were approved as written. INTRODUCTION OF RICK DEGARDNER, PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR: George introduced Rick DeGardner to the other members on the board. Everyone welcomed Rick to the department . OPEN MIKE- There was no one present for open mike. TRAILS• Rick told the Park Board that all scheduled trails have been done with the exception of the trail along Aqua Lane, Lake Drive and up to the City Center. The city received a grant for this trail . There was discussion on what it cost, per foot, to pave the trails . George thought it was $ . 80/sq ft . He added this figure does not include class V. OLD BUSINESS• There was no old business NEW BUSINESS: George opened the meeting to a two-way open discussion because this was the first Park Board meeting Rick attended. This would give Rick the opportunity to ask questions of the board and for the board to tell him what has been happening and to say what they would like to see in the future. 1 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting November 3, 1997 All the members introduced themselves and told Rick a little about themselves . The members brought up the following issues : 1 . Referendum - The city survey indicated trails is the #1 item of importance, then neighborhood parks and the athletic complex. 2 . Trails Committee - Laura Wolf is the Chair of this committee and she will be contacting Rick as he is the staff liaison for this committee . 3 . Friends of the Park - This is a non-profit volunteer group that raises monies for the betterment of Lino Lakes Parks . 4 . Outstanding Projects - Rice Lake Estates Park - This has been in the works for 10 years . Wenzel Farms Park - The issues here is trails, bridge, and easement . Funds have been set aside for this project . Dead End Trails - Working on this, but, there is still work that needs to be done. Other Trail Issues - There is a need to establish east/west and north/south trails and have them go into the county park system. Dedicated Funds - We need to look at what is in dedicated funds and what money is going to have to come from the general fund for projects . Athletic Complex - Needs to acquire land for the complex before all the land is gone. Complex is needed to keep residents in Lino Lakes to do their recreation. Park Board Liaison - The council person that is the liaison for the Park Board should be attending the meetings . County Road 49 Bridge - Feels a walking path on bridge is important . 2 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting November 3, 1997 6-9th Grade Kids - Concerns about programs for this age kids . Park Liaisons - It is important that each Park Board member have a couple of parks they are responsible for. Members should monitor the parks and report to Rick. Commercial Dedication - Concerns about the money collected for commercial dedication. Parks do not get benefit from commercial development . This issue needs to be addressed. Police Department - Joe mentioned the Police Department has a Park Patrol . Rick said he will be meeting and working with the Police Department . Town Center/YMCA - It was mentioned that there is a need for the Park and Recreation Department to be more involved in this project . The Park Board is very supportive of the YMCA coming to Lino Lakes . Rick DeGardner said he agreed with Kim and he thought the Park Comprehensive Plan and the 20/20 Vision Report are very good. He has toured the city and some of the parks and he sees there is a need to look at the possibility of a referendum. He stated neighborhood parks are for the neighborhoods . He feels when and if the athletic complex is built it will alleviate some of the congestion in the neighborhood parks . Rick said he has received two or three calls from residents in some of the older parks . There is a need to look at the existing playground equipment along with what is needed for newer parks . Rick mentioned teen programming. He said in the 1998 budget there is a part-time programmer and that person will focus on teens along with helping Barry with his activities . As far as park dedication Rick said he will be meeting with Mary Kay to get a clear understanding of residential and commercial dedication. He hopes he will bring some information to the next Park Board meeting on this topic. Rick urged the members to contact him if they have any questions, have a problem with one of their parks, or if they see a 3 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting November 3, 1997 maintenance problem.

I am bringing this forward for discussion as a follow-up to the Quality of Life Survey results . I have also included information from the Trust For Public Lands Organization . I have talked to the Trust in regards to obtaining possible help with the Athletic Complex need . 6129296166 DECISION RESOURSES 694 P02 DEC 1E '96 12:06 DECISION RESOURCES, LTD. 3128 Dean Court Minneapolis, Minnesota 55416 (612) 920-0337 December 17, 1996 Mr. Martin D. Asleson Park and Recreation Director City of Lino Lakes 1189 Main Street Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014 BY FAX: 464-4568 Dear Marty: Decision Resources, Ltd., is pleased to present this proposal for referendum campaign consulting services to the City of Lino Lakes. It is based upon our recent discussions,as well as the recently completed survey examining the bond referendum"atmospherics." DRL deliberately structures its potential services as a "cafeteria menu" in order to provide the greatest cost-effective flexibility to our clients. Since the survey identified citizen needs and preferences, as well as potential pitfalls -- such as the tax environment--we can use that as the base for further planning. Campaign Plan: The survey revealed a complex and partially hostile electoral environment. Now that the decision has been made to separate the proposal into three questions and add technology to the basic first question package, DRL can work with you in developing a complete referendum campaign plan. Part of that plan must include determination of the overall package parameters, decisions about ballot format, and full examination of property tax consequences. The plan would include: enumeration and discussion of campaign goals, the strategies and tactics to achieve each, a recommended campaign organizational structure, including the roles of major actors and city-based organizations,a detailed time schedule for the accomplishment of all tactics, and a campaign budget prioritized to permit changes due to cash flow. The cost of developing a campaign plan would be dependent upon the amount of additional research required and is charged for a pre-approved number of hours at S 125.00 per hour. We would expect that the process would require no more than seven hours. s 6129296166 DECISION RESOURSES 694 P03 DEC lE '96 12:07 s—� Ancillary Materials: If the initial survey indicates that a combination of general campaign activities and targeted efforts will be required for success, DRL will work with designated staff, city residents,and other interested parties in developing communications documents. In the past,we have developed brochures and tabloids,written direct mail letters to key groups, assisted in the development or neighborhood meetings or"coffee parties," aided in the identification, management, and monitoring of volunteer committees, and designed ancillary materials for fund raising purposes. Since this type of work is so variable, DRL charges a flat rate of$125.00 per hour, plus incurred expenses. Normally, the firm will agree beforehand to a series of projects and specify a number of hours not to be exceeded in their completion. Voter Mobilization Efforts: If turnout is found to be a key variable in the referendum, DRL can help design and implement a voter identification and mobilization system. The extent of our participation depends upon district resources, particularly volunteers willing to come to phone banks for an evening. DRL will write a script for the phoners,either advocacy or straight identification, for the first wave of calls. After completion of that setup, a letter to favorables can be combined with either a letter to undecideds or another advocacy call to that latter group. A final system can then be designed to insure maximum positive turnout. Depending upon volunteer availability,DRL can also complete the GOTV effort using company phoners and facilities. In any case,the cost is dependent upon our involvement. If a complete package is required,the company would bid it, as such; if only components are needed,the hourly consulting rate would prevail. Tracking Survey: In highly competitive referenda,we recommend a tracking survey to check progress. That study is much briefer than the benchmark and takes place about three weeks prior to the election. The survey is geared toward judging the success of mobilizing the majority support coalition. The results provide the basis for any "last minute" targeted appeals or tactical changes. The abbreviated questionnaire contains a maximum of twenty queries and contacts 250 likely voters. The analysis focuses upon the differences between the projected voter support in key groups and the actual standing at that point in time. It, thus, provides an excellent information base for corrective action. The complete cost would be $3,000.00 Page 2 6129296166 DECISION RESOURSES 694 PO4 DEC 18 '96 12:07 Consultation: Meetings with campaign personnel and staff are also a variable which is hard to estimate prior to the beginning of the process,as unanticipated events can greatly impact needs. Diane Traxler and I are willing to meet with the"campaign team"as events unfold, although our experience has been that telephone and faxes can substitute adequately in most cases for face-to-face meetings. We do not charge for telephone consultation. DRL bills its standard hourly rate for meetings, in addition to travel time expenses to and from the city. Maximum Costs: In comparing your potential referendum needs with other cities we have assisted, we would suggest allocating an overall amount not to exceed$2,500.00. Although,quite honestly, I would be surprised if our campaign assistance would approach that cost figure; however,in this tax climate unforeseen events can occur. I hope this overview sufficiently covers all the information you require. Let me assure you that we believe we can provide you with timely and reliable assistance in your campaign effort. We look forward to the opportunity to work with you again. But, in any case, best of luck with your efforts. Sincerely yours, William D.

(202) 543-7552 The Trust for Public Land TPL FINANCE/ CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION PROGRAM PUBLIC FINANCING OF.OPEN SPACE ACQUISITIONS Purpose of Program: Provide a convenient, cost-effective alternative to bond sales, at tax- exempt interest rates, through which state and local governments can finance acquisition of land from the Trust for Public Land. Program Description: At the request of a local public agency such as a city parks department, TPL purchases a threatened open space parcel. The public agency would then execute a lease/purchase with TPL which would enable the public agency to purchase the property over a 5-15 year period. Simultaneously with the Lease execution, TPL would assign the property and Lease to a trustee bank (Trustee), which would issue certificates of participation (COPs) in the Lease to investors and forward annual lease payments from the public agency. Proceeds from the sale of the COPS would be used by TPL to purchase the property from the private landowner. Lease payments would be passed through by the Trustee to investors as principal and interest on COPS, generating a tax-exempt return on the investment. ,.� Characteristics of the Lease: ■ Principal amount equal to value of land, plus COPS reserve fund and COPS issuance costs (estimated to be 3-5% of principal amount, depending upon size). ■ Term, determined by needs of the public agency, that allows full amortization of principal amount with no balloon principal payment at end (range expected to be 5 15 yam) ■ Interest rate equal to rate on COPs, which is based upon credit rating of the public agency and current market conditions (it would normally be slightly higher than bond interest rate). ■ Payment schedule that requires 20% down payment at commencement, annual installments of principal and semi-annual payments of interest. TPL is willing to work with the public agency to secure foundation or other private funds if necessary. Characteristics of COPS: COPs would be book-entry securities sold in $5,000 denominations to individual investors by Underwriters chosen by TPL. COPs would be rated by a rating agency such as Moody's Investors Service. ■ Prepayment permitted in accordance with optional redemption provisions of COPs, but generally allowed after half of Lease's term has elapsed. Defeasance permitted at any time, allowing the public agency to advance refund Lease. r �1 • Obligation to make Lease payments (while not normally debt) constitutes a moral obligation for which the public agency covenants to seek annual appropriations. Although Lease may not qualify as debt, default would adversely affect the public agency's credit rating and market access. The public agency would need to demonstrate commitment to acquisition and financing. (This might be accomplished through letters, public resolution, etc.) ■ Indemnification of TPL by the public agency against general and environmental liability, including evidence of insurance. ■ Remoteness of default assured by forfeit of property and principal (including 20% down payment) paid to date. ■ Credit rating based on rating of debt of the public agency executing Lease. (This might be enhanced by creating a larger reserve from private or foundation contributions.) Security for COPS: Interest and principal of the COPS would be payable from (1) payments on the Lease and (2) a 10% reserve fund, established from the CON as described below. In addition, Trustee would retain title to the property until the final payment. ■ Reserve Funds: COPS in each Lease would be secured by a reserve fund, funded from COPS proceeds at the outset of the financing, equal to 10% of COPS in that Lease. Amount in COPS reserve fund would be used to offset the final principal payments due under Lease. Documents: ■ Lease from TPL to the public agency, in form of a lease/purchase agreement (where title is conveyed at final payment), through which the public agency purchases the land over time for its appraised value plus an annual interest cost. Majority of lease agreement would be standardized with a separate part describing the aspects specific to each transaction. ■ Assignment agreement, through which TPL assigns title and Lease (including right to receive Lease payments over term) to Trustee. ■ Trust indenture, through which Trustee receives Lease, issues COPS to investors, gives proceeds to TPL and forwards Lease payments to investors. Majority of trust indenture would be standardized with a separate part describing the aspects specific to each transaction. ■ Contract of Purchase in which an Underwriter agrees to purchase the CON from the Trustee at a stated discount (1%) for subsequent sale to investors. ■ Representation Agreement in which the public agency agrees to be represented by the Underwriter in its disclosures to investors. ■ Official Statement of the public agency which sets out current economic circumstances of the governmental entity and the specifics of Lease and CON.

I look forward to receiving a map of the potential areas. I have enclosed some information that I thought you might find helpful in discussing options with council members and staff. In particular, I included information about our finance program, transaction services, and projects the Trust for Public Land has completed with local governments in' the Midwest Region. The Trust for Public Land (TPL)is a national, nonprofit land conservation organization which assists individuals and communities in achieving their park and open space preservation goals. TPL specializes in acquiring and preserving urban and rural open space for the benefit of the general public. We do not own land permanently, but secure it for eventual transfer to local land trusts or public land management agencies, from the local to the federal level. TPL adds land to local, state and federal parks and forest systems. The Trust for Public Land can handle details of the real estate transaction, provide assistance in identifying and securing funding, coordinate funding sources, and help mobilize public support in bond referendum campaigns. For example, one Twin Cities area project involved funding from as many as ten sources, both private and public. Some have been two-step processes, in which TPL purchases an entire parcel, a public agency then purchases part of the parcel, and TPL sells the remainder to a developer who commits to developing in a manner compatible with the public open space and sensitive to community interests. In addition, TPL focuses on those opportunities that public agencies can not act quickly upon or that pose technical difficulties.

I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, t 62- - c Cordelia Pierson Senior Project Associate enc.: Land and People Midwest newsletter GreenSense COP program Transaction Services sheet-government local government projects list fact sheet brochure card j. a .-� The balance of TPL's support comes from contributions, grants, interest and other income. a TPL's ability to secure much of its support through transactions allows TPL to keep its administrative overhead costs to a minimum and to devote maximum resources directly to land conservation efforts. Less than fifteen percent of TPL's income goes to fundraising and administration. How much do agencies pay for land sold by TPL? It is TPL's policy to sell land to public agencies at fair market value, as established by an appraisal performed by an outside appraiser to the agency's standards and approval. Typically, TPL does not request reimbursement for any of its costs. TPL acquires land in its own name. It does not operate as a broker or as an agent of governmental agencies. TPL assumes all the risks and liabilities of land ownership, as well as the costs associated with buying, owning and selling land. This arrangement allows TPL to meet its financial needs while assuring public agencies that they are paying no more than a property is worth. How does TPL work with landowners? TPL presents itself to landowners as an independent conservation organization that seeks to acquire land for resale to public agencies. Where possible, TPL seeks a donation of land value or cash to fund TPL's activities. TPL acts as a principal, and not as anyone else's agent. Confidentiality is a hallmark of TPL's work with landowners. It places landowners at ease and assures an environment hospitable to a conservation land transaction. It is TPL's policy to preserve the confidentiality of its dealings with landowners. Why would a landowner sell to TPL rather than to the government? In fact, the large majority of landowners do sell directly to government agencies and there is no need for assistance by groups like TPL. TPL focuses on those land opportunities that public agencies cannot promptly act upon. When priority lands come up for sale, public agencies often do not have the funding in place to purchase them. Landowners may be unwilling or unable to wait out the process, and the opportunity to protect public resources can be lost. 3 As an independent public-interest organization, TPL can provide timely commitments to landowners in order to keep their lands off the private market until acquisition by a permanent steward, such as a county park district or a federal agency, is possible. How does TPL.use the revenues from its transactions? TPL uses the financial support from transactions and from general fundraising to acquire other properties throughout the country, to meet day-to-day operating expenses, to fund its education and outreach programs, and to provide a prudent reserve fund. In 1991, 85% of TPL's land-saving revenues went directly to its land saving work and educational programs. An example of TPL's outreach is its work in establishing and training land trusts, citizen based nonprofit organizations saving land on a local or regional basis. TPL has started 164 land trusts and worked with over 300 others in the past 20 years. Less than 15% of TPL's revenues have gone for administration and fundraising. Thy Chronicle of Philantronhy recently rated TPL among the leanest, most efficient fundraising organizations of 20 national conservation organizations studied. The October, 1991 issue of Forbes magazine rated TPL a 96% on its Fundraising Efficiency Index. Forbes also gave TPL a 84% on its Program Commitment Index. This statistic shows that TPL is committing 84% of its revenues to its land protection program. TPL has no shareholders. As a nonprofit organization, all of its earnings must be dedicated to its exempt functions. TPL's financial statements are publicly available.

TPL's goal is to conserve land for people, which it accomplishes through several programs. Its principal program is acquiring lands suitable for open space and parks and conveying them to public agencies for ownership and management. TPL also provides training and technical assistance to citizens, land trusts and government agencies to strengthen their land conservation activities. TPL helps public agencies accomplish their land acquisition priorities. We respond to the land conservation agenda of public agencies and the communities where people live, work and play. This fact sheet answers some of the common questions about how TPL works. How does TPL.work with the government to protect land? TPL works with government agencies at their invitation or at the invitation of landowners to acquire land for conservation and public use. TPL provides valuable assistance in the following ways: Buying Time. Because of budgetary, staffing and legal constraints, public agencies are frequently not in a position to act when important parcels of land become available. In active real estate markets, timing is critical. As an independent private organization, TPL responds quickly to opportunities to secure land for conservation and "bridges" the gap between the time the land is available and the time public purchase is possible. TPL brings extra hands and minds to assist over-extended government staffs. Complex Acquisition Challenges. Public agencies often do not have the time or staffing capacity to work through complex acquisition issues. This is one of TPL's strengths. TPL's project staff is supported by financial and legal specialists with experience in sorting out the complexities of real estate transactions, such as those arising from title problems, disputed water rights, zoning uncertainties, hazardous waste contamination and litigation. 1 Meeting Landowner Needs. TPL is experienced in structuring transactions to meet the special needs of landowners, such as life estates, annuities, and estate planning strategies. As an example, some landowners wduld rather be paid over time for their land than be paid in cash. TPL can structure a transaction to meet such a need while being able to convey the property to a public agency free of a mortgage or lien. TPL has the flexibility to work out arrangements that are beyond public agencies' legal authority, such as acquiring a corporation's stock in order to liquidate real estate holdings. Distressed Properties- Sales of distressed property sometimes present spectacular land conservation opportunities, but with special challenges: timing is critical, the sellers have little flexibility and the purchase process is sometimes beyond the legal authority of agencies. TPL is experienced in working with the owners of distressed property, such as trustees in bankruptcy, foreclosing lenders, and state and federal regulators. Making the Pieces Fit. A frequent problem in public land acquisition is that the desired parcel is part of a larger parcel or requires assembling a single parcel of land from individual owners of smaller properties. TPL can help make the pieces fit. TPL has demonstrated the experience and ability to acquire and subdivide land, allowing the sale to public agencies of the agencies' target lands. Similarly, TPL can act to meet agency acquisition programs by assembling independent parcels. TPL can make the pieces fit in other ways. One example of this is removing buildings and improvements prior to sale to a public agency to meet the agency's requirements. Mobilizing Support. One of TPL's greatest contributions to conservation transactions is mobilizing public support for land acquisition. Grass roots support has many benefits, from raising funds to defray the cost of the land and its management, to lobbying legislators for appropriation of funds to make an acquisition. TPL lobbies actively at the federal and state levels for land acquisition and for the interests of public land acquisition agencies. How does TPL support itself? TPL is not a typical nonprofit organization in that it has no membership and thus no support from dues. About 60% of TPL's financial support comes from landowners who sell property to TPL. Willing sellers of land having scenic, recreation, historic or wilderness value often choose to sell their land to TPL at a price below market value, in order to allow TPL to use the proceeds for organizational support. In addition, instead of making a donation of land value, some landowners provide support by making donations of cash or paying TPL for its services. 2 CIT*LP OF LNE November 20, 1997 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner a SUBJECT: Trail Installation Cost There was some discussion at the November Park Board meeting regarding the cost of installing park trails . For planning purposes, $15 per lineal foot was used for 1997 . This included 4" of Class V, 2" of asphalt, and minimal or no site work required (i .e . grading) , and engineering costs . This is for an 8' wide trail . The actual cost of materials for constructing the trails in 1997 was $ . 76 per square foot for asphalt and $ .25 per square foot for Class V. This results in approximately $8 per lineal foot .

Answer The point here is that the North Metro Communities are indicating that programming would not be exclusively in Lino Lakes. Representation, in all quadrants is representative of the mission of the Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department, and in Lino Lakes the city is dependent on general fund appropriation to support certain programming. Lino lakes has chosen to fiscally •-� support the summer playground program, performance in the parks, and the winter skating/shelter program in the past. Fee- structured program offerings are dependent on the availability of adequate facilities. With the consolidation of program participants, any additional facilities would be welcomed anywhere in any of the communities. For instance; if we were to offer aerobics in Centerville and Lexington because the space was available and unavailable elsewhere, community need would be met. Point Programs should be offered for all ages, interests and abilities including pre-schoolers, youth, teens, adults and senior citizens. Answer The mission statement of the Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department states the above point of concern. We strive to meet this goal in as cost effective manner as possible. The partnership of the cities in these goals will effectively broaden this mission by adding another programmer and consolidating issues thereby freeing each programmer to concentrate on different areas of concern. Both programmers are presently at the ceiling of supporting this mission. New concentration would become available for teen programming for example. Point Registration should be made simple and convenient for residents from all cities. Answer Right now, the City of Lino Lakes takes registrations by mail, fax- in, after-hour drop-box and phone. Although we do not have credit card registration at this time, we do anticipate this option in the future. We also use the Community Services drop-box. Perhaps we could establish drop-boxes at some of the other elementary schools and transfer through the school interoffice mail to Community Services. Point A variety of programs should be programmed. Answer The goal of opportunity for all community residents to participate in recreational activities through the implementation of well- designed , effective and interesting programs is always a prime objective of our department. Of coarse the provision of some programs is at the discretion of each city to provide funding for such as special events. As stated in answer 2, Lino Lakes has chosen in the past to support 3 general funded programs; Performance in the Parks, Sumner Playground, and the winter Skating/Shelter programs. One special event that has worked well ^ cooperatively in the past is Earth Day where the combination of donations and effort have made for a successful program. Point Lino Lakes might schedule all facilities for associations. Answer Lino Lakes has the ability to do this. Would there be any obstacles to this in terms of present city policy that might occur if this should happen, and could there be any additional office support that we might also share? Also, the concern for facility safety would need to be discussed. Should we discover an unsafe situation on a facility we are scheduling, how will it get fixed for youth or any other program offering. Point •� Support for athletic associations. Answer Lino Lakes regards the athletic associations as an extension of our recreation division. We also support the youth athletic associations any way we can and appreciate their service. Point Recreation Board Question Answer Equal representation on a recreation committee would be a key element to a fair and equitable partnership. The goal of this committee should be to establish common ground programs of interest, and to establish an equitable budget for such programs. Since each city has an established advisory board the committee would be the conduit between park and recreation boards. Each local government, would be financially responsible for its own recreation program, and the design of such in cooperation with the Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation office, and this committee. Point Reasonable charges and fees should be established to serve the economic ability of the community to participate in recreational activities. Answer The philosophy of keeping recreation open to all is a goal that we try to accomplish through the charge of reasonable fees. Generally a 10% to 15% administrative fee is added on to the core cost of running a program. Some programs do provide a bit more income, and the profits used to support and enhance future offerings. Again, each city would be fiscally responsible for its own recreation programs as a part of the partnership or as enhancement to the partnership for specific city needs. Point Annual Reporting Answer Annual reports will be given to all parties of the partnership which presents all programs offered, success and failures, number of participants, benefits, and financial outcome. Point Publication of programs Answer All of the cities now have free access to the Observer. The city of Lino Lakes also publishes a brochure listing parks and recreation opportunities. The City of Lino Lakes covers 2 other school district areas and we need to ensure information gets to these residents. Flyers, news-release, cable TV, and announcement boards are also used. r -/ /7 d- ►cam CITY : OF IN KE November 20, 1997 TO: Betty Piper and Sharon Lane FROM: Rick DeGardner 0 SUBJECT: Term Expirations I am sure you both are aware your terms expire at the end of 1997 .
