OLD BUSINESS• PARK UPDATES - Birch Park - Marty Asleson reported that the land purchase was finally complete. The final purchase price was $11,250.00 plus legal fees, etc. Funds for the purchase were taken from the dedicated park fund. Ray Johnson asked if Birch Park wasn't supposed to be finished with dedicated funds this year. Marty explained that progress on the park may be slowed down somewhat this year because of other expenditures such as the comprehensive park plan study, land purchases and also the additional time required to maintain the fields now that there is organized playground time scheduled. Ray Johnson commented that Birch Park looks real good. The grass and trees are coming along great. He said that he has gotten very favorable comments from neighbors regarding how good Birch Park is looking. Comprehensive Park Plan - Marty reported tha- Park Plan Committee met for the first time o 1991. Jeff Schoenbauer from Brauer & Associates Staff to put together a check list for a plan a Marty just today received a park plan and proposal in the mail and hadn't had a chanc Evidently the plan is in the budget stage now, the Council for approval before the Committee explained that the plan seemed to be putting a park land to the South. 1 . the Comprehensive i Tuesday, April 9, will meet with City to where to start. development guide to study it yet. and it has to go to meets again. Marty lot of emphasis on Park Board Meeting May 6, 1991 Recreation Agreement - Mr. Asleson explained that the Agreement between Lino Lakes and Centennial School District has been reviewed by the City Attorney and is ready to go to the Council for approval. He asked if the Park Board had any comments on the agreement. Ray Johnson thinks the agreement looks good. Ken Johnson questioned whether the Recreation Director would be permanently housed at the School District offices. Marty Asleson explained that it may be best in the beginning for two reasons, #1 the City has no additional room at this time, and #2 if we're programming indoor activities, it would be a good idea to have people in house to maintain communications. Marty also noted that the North Metro Recreation (Centerville, Circle Pines, Lexington) agreement with the School District will be almost the same as ours. North Metro Recreation Department won't be active until 1992, but will start some part time programs this Fall. Mr. Asleson says the School District feels that all recreation departments should have the same benefits. Land Use Agreement - Marty explained that there are not many land use agreements around such as this one where a City and a School District agree to certain uses and terms. Usually agreements such as this are done verbally with a hand shake. Staff at Birch School have seen the agreement and seem comfortable with it. It will move on to our City Council and then to the School Board. Forest Lake School District - Marty reported that he and Don Volk met with Dan Poeppard, Director of Community Services in Forest Lake School District. He commented that all school districts differ in how they run their recreation programs. Marty feels that Forest Lake has a good program. Marty explained that the possibility of an agreement with Forest Lake was discussed. He felt that this was a positive meeting. John Baumann asked if Marty intended to meet with the White Bear Lake School District to discuss the same issues. Marty noted that Lino Lakes doesn't have a park facility in the White Bear School District. He commented that there is a possibility of coordinating a Ringette program with them. �1 _ 2 Park Board Meeting May 6, 1991 OTHER OLD BUSINESS: Ray Johnson updated the board members on the Wenzel Farms property. He explained that Hokanson Development did not get approval from the DNR to fill the area they wanted to, opposed to what Mr. Kirk Corson told the park board the last time he appeared before them. So the end result is that the park dedication will go back to the original .7 acres. Candi Toffoli questioned the Lakecrest park land purchase. Marty Asleson explained that the purchase agreement will expire on June 6, but we could possibly have an answer on whether we will purchase the property after the next City Council meeting on May 13th. George Lindy asked if Brauer & Associates has given us a dollar figure on the Comprehensive Park Plan study yet. He questioned if the original figure discussed wasn't something like $30,000.00, although it seems that there was never a definite amount agreed upon at park board level. Marty said that the Comprehensive Park Plan Committee is deciding that now. He also explained that the Rosemount plan that we were comparing ourselves to was around $45,000.00 and they had the full program, and we were looking at the "bare bones" program. There was no other Old Business. NEW BUSINESS: SUMMER PROGRAMS - Marty Asleson referred the board to several articles about user fees associated with organized playground programs. He explained that he wanted to run the idea past the park board to get their feelings on user fees opposed to raising taxes to meet the expenses involved with the recreation program. Ken Johnson questioned whether user fees were to be used to just cover the cost of what is being used. Marty explained yes, plus 5 to 10% to cover materials and staff time. He says we are at the low spectrum of user fees for what we are charging for current programs in comparison to other cities. He feels that there are some sound reasons for user fees. Ken Johnson expressed some concern that those who can't afford to participate will be excluded from the programs. He thinks the 3 Park Board Meeting May 6, 1991 effort should be made to subsidize the programs. Perhaps some type of scholarships based on need. Update of Recreation Program - Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor, talked briefly about the summer recreation program. He explained the brochure he made up regarding the activities that are offered this summer. Barry has been working with the Centennial School District to get the recreation information published in the Observer. The Observer has a circulation of around 14,000. There will also be ads in the Quad Press and the Circulating Pines newspaper. Marty Asleson commented Barry has been doing a lot of work to see that the programs are well organized and that the children will have fun. Marty Asleson and Don Volk went to the Lions Club and got a donation of $400.00 for the Recreation Program. They will also approach the VFW for donations. Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Park - Marty Asleson gave a report on the most recent meeting of the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Advisory 11"N Committee that was held on Thursday , April 25th, 1991. He reported that he and Don Volk were in attendance along with representatives of Circle Pines and the Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department. There were reports from Anoka County that the County compost pile was doing well, as is the County Tree Disposal site. Also the rate per 18 holes at Chomonix Golf Course will be raised $2.00. There was a discussion on oak wilt. A million dollar Nature Center is scheduled to open in the Fall of 1992. One of the problems the County will have will be staffing. Marty suggested that maybe Lino Lakes would be able to work with them on that. The Aqua Lane project was reported on. There will be a walk way and bicycle trail with a small picnic site there. The County was able to get cost matched funds from the Federal Government for a bridge that will go down Aqua Lane. The County was able to hire a full time Park Ranger this year. He will have the authority and power to issue citations. Anoka County Parks and Recreation Department anticipates this addition to the parks staff will help a great deal to control damage in the parks. The next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, November 7, 1991, with Centerville being the host City. 4 1-1\ Park Board Meeting May 6, 1991 OTHER NEW BUSINESS: Marty Asleson reported that the Lino Lakes Shade Tree Ordinance is in affect now. This means that any time someone wants to build a house in the woods, they first have to submit a plan showing where they will be putting the house in relation to the trees being moved, etc., and get approval from the City. Hopefully, by enforcing this Ordinance, the city will have a better chance to control the spread of tree diseases. Marty also reported on the newly formed Anoka County Tree Board. Mr. Art Hawkins and Mr. Bob Williams from Lino Lakes are on the board. The purpose of the board is to try to network urban forestry and control oak wilt in Anoka County. An added benefit of the board would be assistance both technically and financially. John Baumann reported on Earth/Arbor Day celebration held on April 27th. About 500 people turned out to offer their services to clean up the roadsides in the city, they collected approximately 4 - 4 1/2 ton of debris, opposed to 9 ton last year. John felt that this ,-� was probably because last year was the first time. A Tree City Award Ceremony was held at City Hall, and 300 trees were given away. Marty Asleson commented that John Baumann worked long and hard to make this project a success. John was responsible for getting all the food and he did a fantastic job. Ray Johnson pointed out the minutes from the April 10 Design Review Board meeting, he noticed a request for consideration of a minor subdivision for Ken & Gail Judd. Ray made reference to the action taken where there is no park dedication fee due, and wondered why. Marty Asleson said he will check in to it. There was no other new business. Meeting was adjourned at 8:24 PM. 5 TO: All Park Board Members FROM: Marty Asleson, Parks, Rec and Forestry Supt. DATE: May 29, 1991 RE: Amelia Lake Estates Attached is a copy of the newest concept for Amelia Lake Estates by Ron Birch Custom Builders. This is a development that would be built on the idea of private road/private trails, etc. Mr. Birch will be at the meeting to present and discuss his plan. 5/28/91 RON BIRCH CUSTOM BUILDERS, INC. 3788 Labore Road White Bear Lake, Minn. 55110 PARK BOARD Lino Lakes, Minn. Dear Members: Amelia Lake Estates will be an executive townhome community appealing mainly to empty nesters located on Amelia Lake a Natural environmental lake. This area abounds with wildlife such as deer, ducks and eggerts. The community has been thoughtfully planned to co -exist with the wildlife and to be unique in the metropolitan area. Over half of it's land will be in open space and every building site will be on water, whether facing Lake Amelia or on one of the natural ponds scattered throughout the community. In the first 20 acres, there will be only 32 building sites. Because of the close proximity to Interstate 35E and to further ensure the solitude of the community, we will make an earthen berm on the eastern boundary of the property which will be landscaped to tie in with the natural surroundings. A trail system will be put in for the use of the residents to enjoy the many facets of nature existing in this area. This will be an inner community trail system maintained by the townhome association. The trail will be 5'-6' wide to coincide with the trails I walked in the wildlife areas of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum which were planned at this width so as to disturb the wildlife as little as possible. The trail will be bituminous except for the wooden walkway over the rip rap portion between the largest pond and Lake Amelia. The trail system will wrap around the south pond and go north on it's east side providing we receive adequate Tax Increment Financing to adequately fill the sides of the pond so the pathway can be created. $2,QOA.00 a unit will be allowed towards landscaping to further enhance the wildlife setting. This community has been thoughtfully planned to disturb the wildlife setting as little as possible and to provide a beautiful and unique gateway asset to the City of Lino Lakes. As to the Bark dedication of land or cash payment as per my last appearance before your board, we had agreed to pay the $400.00 per unit or townhome in this POD. That would amount to $14,000.00.

City staff met with Mr. Ernie Rud of E.G. Rud and Sons concerning the parks dedication requirements for this development. The City owns park areas to the north on Leonard and Bradley, and also west of Laurie Avenue and south of Thomas. The Leonard and Bradley area seems to be close enough to fall within distance and population standards. We also discussed the fact that there is an outlot easement that might connect the park area with a trail from this development. There also an outlot existing south of Marvy and north of the development on lot 2 - block 11 that might be used for open space by the development. A trail was also proposed on the side of the development on the south side of the sheet leading in to the north bound trail to the Leonard and Bradley Park. Recommendation was made by staff to accept dedication dollars and connecting trails as discussed, and to integrate tying into the outlot. f 1H 1 —JEJ-1 "ice ii riCul i C.

Our Sketch plan proposes to adeomadate this trail by platting a walkway along Sunset Road and a park area at the Northwest corner of the site. This will provide for the northerly extension of the trail, through Lot 2, Block 11 of Sunset Oaks which is currently owned by the City.

I was very fortunate in that some City Staff recommended people who were interested in becoming playground leaders. I interviewed four young women, and was quite impressed with what I saw and heard. The first person I hired was a young woman from here in the City. Her name is Lisa King. Although she is younger than I originally '� would have liked, she is experienced in working with children and arts and crafts. Lisa is excited to be part of our program and what we are trying to do this summer. Another person I hired as a playground staff person is Amber Viger. She is a student at UMD and studying Child Psychology. Amber is a AIN very energetic, athletic person. I think she will work out real well. Christine Schuh is another who will be part of our staff this summer. Christine is studying pre-med at Notre Dame. She is a very bright young woman who really enjoys working with children. Finally, I hired Amy Volk. Amy is also quite young, but is very well known throughout the community. I thinks she will be a good playground leader and a good person to have at our playgrounds. The two playgrounds we will be using for our programs are City Hall and Sunrise Park. The two staff people for each will be Christine Schuh and Amy Volk at City Hall, and Lisa King and Amber Viger at Sunrise Park. Amber and Christine are my senior leaders with Amy and Lisa my junior leaders. -.1 1991 LINO LAKES RECREATION DEPARTMENT SUMMER FALL PROGRAMS 11000* lo� AOIN LINO LAKES RECREATION DEPARTMENT 1991 SUMMER PROGRAMS LINO LAKES RECREATION DEPARTMENT The City of Lino Lakes Recreation Department was established to provide recreation opportunities for everyone in the community.

As a result, their purchase of the The second requirement for a service to be financed by users' fee is that nonpayers must be excluded from the benefits of the service. If. those unwilling or unable to pay the fee are, allowed to avail themselves of the service two results will occur. First, the service will be overused.

For example, city water plants usually are built so that water is available during the summer rnonths when there is a great deal of seasonal demand for cooling systems and watering of lawns. Yet most water rates are set so that the rate falls for this extra consumption. A second area where fees are usually set in an irrational fashion is the area of streets and highways. Usually streets and highways are available at no charge to users. This amounts to a considerable subsidy to travel by car and puts urban mass transit facilities at a competitive price disadvantage. Charging tolls would encourage the use of alternative means of transportation. The toll not only reduces the general tax burden but cuts the costs associated with urban congestion and pollution.
