PARK,RECREATION,FORESTRY,AND RECYCLING DEPARTMENTS 7204 LAKE DRIVE,LINO LAKES,MINNESOTA 55014 (612)464-5562 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Goal Setting Meeting Wednesday, September 20, 1995 The goal setting meeting started at 6 : 07pm at the Lino Lakes Park, Recreation and Forestry Building on September 20, 1995 . Members present were George Lindy, Amy Donlin, Pam Taschuk, Ken Johnson, Betty Piper and Sharon Lane. Staff in attendance were Marty Asleson, Parks, Recreation and Forestry Coordinator, Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor, Mary Vaske, Finance Director, and Sandie Wood, Recording Secretary. Joe Schmidt did not attend the meeting. Marty Asleson started the meeting by introducing Mary Vaske . Mary passed out and reviewed a summary of the 1996 general fund expenditures and a printout of the park dedication funds . She went over the park dedication funds starting in 1987 through 1995 . Marty explained that each year he does a general fund budget proposal for the Park, Recreation and Forestry Departments . In the park proposal he requests money, from the City Council, to fund maintenance for parks, supplies, and personnel . With the new growth in the city he has concerns with keeping up with the new park areas, new trails, and more maintenance and inspection needs . He asked Mary to explain where the city is with its tax base and the concerns from a funding stand point . Mary said because it is an election year the council decided not to have a tax increase. Because of this the general fund budget was figured at a zero tax increase. When the Department heads started working on the budget they requested 5 . 1 million dollars which was 1 . 1 million dollars over what the city could afford without a tax increase. The department heads wish lists have been cut back to meet the 4 . 0 million dollar general fund budget . Marty and Mary explained how the budget dollars are allocated. They also talked about tax increment financing and how that affects the taxes in the city. Ken asked if there was money allotted in the 1996 budget for trails . Marty responded yes, $15, 000 . 00 was in the budget . There was discussion on the school referendum and how that may affect what the city is trying to do with the community center or athletic complex. George and Pam said they heard 1 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Goal Setting Meeting Wednesday, September 20, 1995 alot of negatives on this issue . Marty said when we discuss goals we should keep in mind how we are going to maintain, keep up and do all the things that are needed to be done when developing a system. We should also think about safety issues and maintaining the playground equipment in the parks . Mary told the Park Board Members that there was a survey in the 1996 budget . It had originally been for the Park and Recreation Departments but it seems that it has turned into a more citywide survey. Marty said a professional polling company will be doing the survey and they know how to ask the question so you get a true reflection. Marty suggested, in the future, we will need to seal coat the trails . Amy asked if this would prolong the life of the trails . She asked what would be the life span of a trail if no maintenance was done . Marty said probably 7-10 years but if they were properly maintained they should last 20 years . Pam said maybe the city should have an adopt a trail program. The members and Marty thanked Mary for coming to speak to the board. Marty reviewed the goals in the Comprehensive Park Plan and Development Guide. He talked about the criteria for prioritizing acquisition including development patterns and population growth, land availability, community demand and preservation of significant natural resources . He went on to talk about the criteria for development, including community demand, recreational program needs and redevelopment/upgrading of facilities . He told the board that we need to continue working on joint efforts with Circle Pines on the Rice Lake Estates Park. Hopefully we will be able to get the master planning done this winter. Quail Ridge has trail issues - linking Captains Place with the dedicated land. He then talked about the athletic complex land acquisition. He feels a decision is going to have to be made in the near 2 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Goal Setting Meeting .-� Wednesday, September 20, 1995 future. He is waiting for a response on the grant that he wrote . He then discussed land development . He said the overriding objective is to develop parks that are in close proximity to established or developing neighborhoods . Barry then gave an overview of past and present data on recreation programs . He showed the increase in ballfield usage from 1993 - 1995 . He said the Centennial Little League, Forest Lake Girls Softball Program and the City of Lino Lakes ball programs played over 700 games on five ballfields . He told the board because of the lack of facilities he initiated a new reservation policy, this year, for requesting field usage . Soccer field usage - The primary user is the Centennial Soccer Association. The Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Department issued over 200 field reservation requests . The Centennial and Forest Lake Hockey Association had the majority of reserved ice time during the hours of 6-9pm. Barry then reviewed the rink attendance for 1993-1995 . At City Hall, Country Lakes, Sunrise and Birch parks the normal usage is 61 days per year. However, in 1995 the number of days used was 35 because of the weather. He said Lino Park was one of the busiest general skating rinks in 1995 . Sharon asked what the daily averages were. Barry answered Sunrise Park averaged 48, Birch Park - 20, City Halls usage was in the teens and Country Lakes averaged single digit numbers . Barry then talked about the real need for ball fields . He said he turned away over 12 teams in 1995 because of the lack of facilities . He says he will continue to accommodate as many teams as he can with the facilities he has . Marty said that he sent out questionnaires to athletic organizations and ball teams regarding the athletic complex asking them how they felt about the complex and if they 3 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Goal Setting Meeting Wednesday, September 20, 1995 would support it . He received a response back from the Centennial Soccer Association in support of the complex. The Centennial Youth Girls Fast Pitch Softball Association will raise funds and anything else they can do to support the complex. Barry said he has received favorable response from several softball teams . Many are willing to do fundraising to help pay for the lights or other needs . Marty talked about the 1988 survey and park open space acquisition. He feels the Park Board is on track with community participation, staffing needs, recreation program goals, and better record management and documentation. Marty said that a lot of the 1993/1994 goals overlapped with the 1995 goals . He then went over the 1995 goals and told the members the status of each one. He asked the board members to keep all the above information in mind, along with the information that Marty has given them, when establishing the Park Board Goals and Priorities for 1996 . Ken asked if we had a section of trail, in the city, that was longer than two blocks long. Marty said yes and pointed them out on the overhead. Marty talked about park dedication fees . He gave the members a copy of the chart he worked out on the computer. George then discussed the 20/20 Project . He feels alot of the 20/20 Advisory Committee' s ideas are in alignment with the comprehensive plan. He thought it was good that they saw the shortage in staff and were aware of the fiscal responsibilities . He is not in agreement with the advisory board on the community center concept . He feels there are other more important issues . Marty says he thinks the residents needs will come out in a survey. Pam said residents might not want a community center because surrounding communities have one. George said the survey should address this issue properly so the residents are .-� aware that it is going to cost them money to build one. Betty was concerned about offering the kids in the community enough to keep them busy to entice them away from the gangs . 4 City of Lino Lakes 11-N Park Board Goal Setting Meeting Wednesday, September 20, 1995 Marty said we really need to look at providing a place for the teens to go in the city. George said that the 20/20 advisory board sees trails as a number one issue as does the Park Board. He feels that when the Park Board does their goal setting they need to do it with more organization. They should structure it similar to the 20/20 group and put deadlines on the goals and revisit them from time to time. Marty reviewed the 20/20 report . He talked about hiring a consultant to help write grants . He then discussed trails and told the board that he had received bids at 60 cents per foot which was the same as last year. Then he said the most important thing, that could be done in 1996, was a survey and the money has been put in the budget for this . Marty told the board that he sent a letter to District 12 School Superintendent John McClellan in regards to the proposed school site on Elm Street . John has been in contact with him and was very open to discussion. They discussed the possibility of the school district building an ECFE facility on a 30 acre parcel by Pheasant Hills Preserve. John talked about doing a joint venture with the city on some of this land. After lengthy discussion, on what the members would like to see done for parks and trails, the Park Board drafted the following list of 1996 goals . These goals will be rated by each member and prioritized after the next Park Board meeting. 1 . Birch Park Purchase a piece of property (peninsula) and create a trail connection between Birch Park and the northern portion of Trappers Crossing. 2 . Clearwater Creek Trail development . 3 . Quail Ridge Master plan, trail and boardwalk. 5 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Goal Setting Meeting Wednesday, September 20, 1995 4 . City Hall Park a. Playground equipment b. Ball fields 5 . Country Lakes Park Trails and general grading. 6 . A-3 Complex Open ended financial commitment for land acquisition. 7 . Trails a. Completing dead end segments (i .e . Birch street) . b. Paving existing graded trails . C . Trail connection to Regional Park. d. equitable trail dedication ordinance. Along with the 1996 goals the board formed the following mission statements . Mission Statements 1 . The Lino Lakes Park Board would like to explore the possibility of creating a joint use athletic complex (A-3) with the cities of Centerville and Circle Pines . 2 . In an effort to connect the northern part of the city to the southern part by means of a trail corridor, we would like to go on record in support of a new bridge wide enough to accommodate a transportation trail at the Hwy. 49 crossing of Rice Creek between Baldwin Lake and Rice. Lake. 3 . The Park Board supports any cooperative efforts with the school district regarding joint development and joint use of school district recreational facilities . Ken asked if there was any high land in the N-2 Park (Woolens Park) . Marty responded he had been in the area and there is highlands there . Ken asked if Marty ever heard from residents about this land. Marty said no. Marty did say, however, that he has heard from residents off and on all summer about the Fawn Lane Park/Trail . He said there is half an acre or less of land there and the residents want to know what is going to be done with it . Marty feels the residents either want it mowed or establish 6 City of Lino Lakes Park Board Goal Setting Meeting Wednesday, September 20, 1995 native vegetation on the land. The problem is that it is wet, therefore, it is hard to mow. He said we could drain tile it to keep the water running better, and establish a native plant policy for along trails . Marty also thought resident involvement was important to help maintain trails . George asked what the original plan was for this property. Marty could not answer the questions because this property happened before he came to work for the city. It was decided to put this item on a future Park Board agenda. Being no other business the goal setting meeting was adjourned at 9 : 15pm. 7 r CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1995 The October 2, 1995, 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 George Lindy, Ken Johnson, Betty Piper, Sharon Lane, and Pam Taschuk. Also present were Marty Asleson, Park Recreation, and Forestry Coordinator, Barry Bernstein, Recreation Program Supervisor, and Sandie Wood, Recording Secretary. Members absent were Joe Schmidt and Amy Donlin. APPROVAL OF SEPTEMBER 11, 1995 MINUTES: George made a correction to the minutes on Page 4, second paragraph. The minutes read; George asked if the Forest Lake Hockey Association will be having scheduled time at this rink. The minutes should have read if the hockey associations will be having scheduled time at this rink. Ken Johnson made a motion to approve the minutes as amended, seconded by Pam Taschuk. Minutes were approved as amended. INTRODUCTION: Marty introduced Mary Fogarty, Park, Recreation, and Forestry Clerical Assistant, to the Park Board members . OPEN MIKE• There was no one present for open mike. 20/20 REPORT REVIEW: Laura Wolf and Ray Weber were present to answer any questions the Park Board Members may have in regards to the final 20/20 report . George thinks the 20/20 Advisory Group will find that the Park Board has other issues they feel are important but are quite aligned with the trail system and the need for a trail system. It always comes back to fiscal responsibility. Financing the "dream goals" is another issue. If the citizens want them they will have to find a way to finance them. Laura responded that we need to come up with a figure to develop the system and then come up with a time table to complete it . There was discussion on establishing a Trail Subcommittee to address the trail issues . Marty has been in contact with John VonDeLinde, Anoka County Park Department, regarding a 1 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING n MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1995 tri-city trail committee . (He would like to see this committee comprised of staff people) John is also interested in having this committee meets during the day at set intervals . George wanted to know who should take the initiative to setup a trail committee. Ray felt it should be a subcommittee of the Park Board Committee. And should meet quarterly. George said he would like this issue put on the next Park Board meeting agenda. We need to look at how to advertise this committee, to get members other than Park Board members and city staff, what organizations to contact for participants, and how to set it up. There was discussion on obtaining grants and ISTEA funding. Marty said there is money available but without joint cooperative efforts it will be hard to obtain any of these grants . He said Centerville is real interested in our trail plan and athletic complex. Marty said he will also be attending a meeting with the City of Hugo in January. He is hoping we can include them in a joint efforts project . Ray thought the survey is a great way to get a definite answer on what the residents want in the city. Marty said there is money in the 1996 budget to do a survey. Sharon thanked the 20/20 group for the job they did and the hard work they put into the process . She said the Park Board appreciated their input and guidance . UPDATES AND OLD BUSINESS: Athletic Complex: Marty said he was on the City of Centerville' s October Council Agenda for the athletic complex and trail issues . He said they are excited about the complex and trails and are interested in working with the City of Lino Lakes on these issues . He reported that he received a letter from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources notifying the city on the status with the Outdoor Recreation Grant that he submitted for the athletic complex. Marty called the DNR to find out where we ranked, and we were placed in the second grouping under the 19 applications that were granted. They will assign a person to our area in 2 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING r� MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1995 the near future, and hopefully at that time we can find out what we have to do to get funded on the next round. He did find out that we had lost points for not having cooperative relationships established with the surrounding communities that were alluded to in the text . Marty is hoping that we can do a joint venture with the City of Circle Pines, the City of Hugo, and the City of Centerville. Marty said Circle Pines is working on their comprehensive plan and may be interested in working with us on cooperative efforts . Betty wanted to know if not having the land purchased was a reason for not approving the grant . Marty said the grant was for land acquisition so this was not a factor. Pam asked if they were looking for letters of support from the surrounding communities Park Boards . Marty said other grants that have been funded did have letters of agreements between the cities and he thinks this is what we are going to have to do. Sharon wanted to know if those grants were written jointly. Marty wasn' t sure but said he would have to look into that . Marty told the Park Board that the second round should be sometime in March. George said we should start working with the surrounding communities now. Marty said yes we should and he will let the Park Board know when Lino Lakes is invited to the Circle Pines Council or Park Board meeting so members can attend the meeting. N-7 Behms Park Update: Marty put an overhead on the screen and reviewed the development layout of this park. He discussed the trail . He said Phase I will be done next year and Phase II may be done next year depending on the economy. Marty has been in contact with Kate Drury, Rice Creek Watershed District and John Johnson, project representative, and he is not sure of the status of the application. He got different stories from both individuals . Pam asked if there was an access to the Park. Marty said there is and he has driven to it . He said it is between houses and looks like someone' s side yard, but it is there. 3 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1995 Ken asked about the trail being put in Phase II of the project . He voiced his concern about the trail not being put in if Phase II of the project was not done. Marty said if Phase II does not go in we will probably get some additional park land. Projects: Wenzel Farms - Marty told the members that the additional piece of playground equipment was going to be installed on October 1, 1995 . He said they will also have to drain tile the playground because water is pooling in this area. Pheasant Hills - Marty reported that this park may also have to be drain tiled. This park is in the planning stages and there is $15, 000 in the budget for playground equipment for this park. Birchwood Acres - This park will be worked on this winter and the residents will be doing a fund-raiser to help pay for things that are needed in the park. Country Lakes Park - Marty told the members that the parking lot has been moved. The final cost for this move was approximately $3 , 500 . The hydro ax is scheduled to come in and brush out the area. Marty said this will really open up the park. George asked if there was highland from County Lakes Park to Country Lakes Estates . Marty said he walked the area with Tom Hovy, DNR, last year and Mike Hoffman this year and there are highlands to put the trail on. The trail will come out onto the beach area. Marty continued by saying it was too late this year to seed and he thought it was better to wait until next year because there still was some grading work that needed to be done. City Hall Park - The building has been moved in and is now bolted down to the ground. It needs a paint job but it looks good. Marty said the city saved a lot of money by using city staff to do the concrete work. He thought the final cost of the project would be approximately $7, 000 . We still need a new heater, some utility work done, and the phone line installed. 4 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1995 Brandvwood Park - Marty said this park is scheduled for paving and the grass looks good. Trails - The paving bids came in a little cheaper than if we would have written a change order to one of our existing contracts . Marty said he would like to get started on the trails as soon as possible after the rain stops . Marty passed out a handout showing the breakdown of the projects and the costs associated with them. He talked about being able to cut some things out to lower the total cost of the paving job. George asked if there were very many trails left to be paved after this year. Marty said there were some in Pheasant Hills and approximately 3400 feet in the Clearwater Creek Phases . Rice Lake Estates - Marty said he is still waiting for Circle Pines to get him some information for the Park Board members . As soon as we get the information it will be put in the members packets . Sunset and Jeanne Drive Trail Segment - The wetland delineation should be done before October 15, 1995 . Once we get that report we will know what we are dealing with for this project . Pam asked if the residents have contacted him about this trail . Marty said they have not but he feels it is a needed trail . Recreation Report: Barry told the members that he included program planning forms/final reports and a 1995 Summer Programs report in their packets . He reviewed the 1995 Summer Programs report . He told the members that the Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Department served 371 young people in our cost incurred programs and an additional 231 in our open playground program this year. He said 81 percent were Lino Lakes residents with 93 percent of the youth attending the Centennial School District . Pam asked if T-ball was offered during the day. Barry said yes, we had three sessions . Pam then asked how the number of day participants compared to the evening participants . 5 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1995 Mary Fogarty said there was an average of 13 kids in the day program and 18 in the evening classes . Barry then talked about the adult programs and explained how he came up with the figures on local users vs . outside users . He said there was a good number of participants for the basketball program and a very good number of participants in the softball program. He talked about the lack of facilities and the affect it had on holding some of the programs . Barry feels we had a good but challenging summer. It was either very hot or raining. George asked Barry when he costs out expense vs income do we include chalking, mowing etc . Marty said no, we do not . Barry said the expenses include officiating staff, balls, bases, etc. not maintenance. Marty told the Park Board members that this report was going to be very helpful when meeting with surrounding communities . Pam asked Barry about the youth tennis program and how it went . She had questions on the USTA program. Barry said he would like to offer the USTA Tennis program next year but he will need to revamp the program. He will probably increase the registration fees for this program. Fawn Lane Park/Trail: Marty said we have had several mowing complaints from this area this summer. He feels we need to decide what should be done with this area. Some residents want wild areas and some residents want manicured lawns . The neighborhood association needs to put this on their agenda to get a consensus of the residents . Marty will let the Park Board know when the next meeting is going to be and he hopes some members will attend the meeting. Marty feels the land along trails is an issue that is going to have to be dealt with. Sharon feels the residents should make the decision and let Marty know what they want done. Pam asked how do the residents decide what is going to be n done and is this something that the Park Board needs to address and set a policy. George said we need to catalog these areas and the city staff people needs to use common sense on how or what needs to be done, in a specific area, and how often it needs to be done . 6 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1995 Friends of the Park Update: Marty reported that the Friends of the Park did not meet in September. The next golf tournament meeting will be October 3 and hopefully they will be setting a date. He asked the Park Board members to attend this meeting if they were interested in helping with the tournament . He then talked about the letter that John Saccoman sent to other businesses describing the Friends of the Park Foundation. Marty said the Friends did come up with an indemnification form and hold harmless agreement . They have gone before the Lino Lakes City Council with these forms . He then explained what these forms are intended to do. He then went on to say that the donor recognition plaques have come in and he will be giving them to the Friends of the Park Committee . ADA: Marty reported that he has hired Janet Bona as the ADA Coordinator and she will need to be approved by the City Council . She is already talking with the schoold district about the consortium, ADA, and cooperative recreations plans for people with disabilities . Sharon asked if Janet was full-time. Marty said no she is paid on an hourly as needed basis from the CDBG Grant that runs through the end of 1995 . Goal Setting Meeting: Marty had handouts he gave to the members . He then reviewed the memo he wrote on 1996 Goal Statement Cost Estimates, dated September 27, 1995 . He showed slides on the previously proposed park plan for City Hall Park. He showed the members where ball fields could be place along with a parking lot . He said the cost estimate would be about $60, 000 . George asked if these two ball fields would be a prudent use of $60, 000 . Barry said he and Marty have been discussing this and they feel it is a lot of money for two fields . He thought it was a secluded area and did not know if that would be an attraction or deterent . 7 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1995 Marty wanted Ken' s input on this . Ken wanted to know if it was feasible to have these fields in use until the athletic complex can be built . He said going back to the master plan this was designated as an athletic complex site and wanted to know why we weren' t using it . Marty said this is true but the property has changed, there are more wetlands since the wetland laws have changed, and part of the property is being used by the Lino Lakes Public Works Department . Ken then asked how much of the area was wetlands . Marty showed the areas that he thought were wetlands . There was discussion about public works making the best use of the land and a land trade off . Marty said there was no other area for them to move to and they need a large area for the trucks to maneuver around the salt/sand piles . Marty stated that a septic system has also been installed on the property. Marty then asked the board if there was any other information he could give the members pertaining to the 1996 goals . George said he would like the 1996 goal priorities on the next agenda. He wants to look at the priorities and put a dollar amount on the projects . Updates and Old Business: Sharon asked if the new building at City Hall Park was on blocks . Marty said the builder moves the building in and gives staff a couple of days to lay block and then the buildings is lowered onto them. (It is on blocks) Ken asked if the building was on blocks at Shoreview. Marty said no. NEW BUSINESS• Rehbein Transit Trail: Marty reviewed the September 27, 1995 memo regarding this trails . He said Mary Kay Wyland negotiated with the Rehbein Bus Transit Company for this new segment of trails and it should be placed sometime during the week. 8 . 1 CITY OF LINO LAKES PARK BOARD MEETING ,.� MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1995 SCHEDULE NEXT PARK BOARD MEETING: The next Park Board meeting will be held on Monday, November 6, 1995, 6 :30pm at City Hall .

AGENDA ITEM STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson DATE: October 26, 1995 TOPIC: Trails Committee BACKGROUND Much discussion concerning the planning, maintenance, development, safety, and funding of trails has transpired over the last few years, and with added resolve from the 20/20 Vision Focus it was decided at the last Park Board meeting to investigate the formation of a Trails Committee. I was directed to make a recommendation on this. Please find enclosed copies of the City of Shorview's Resolution forming a Trails Committee, and The City of Vadnais Heights Ordinance, establishing a Trails Commission. Both groups are charged with making recommendations concerning trails. Please notice a couple of differences. Shorview has 11 members on their committee, and meets once a month, and Vadnais Heights meets on a quarterly minimum schedule with 5 members. Shorview indicated that meeting once a month was too much, they simply ran out of agenda items after a while. Vadnais Heights had 5 members with city staff members acting as liaisons and representing the Planning, Park and Public Safety aspects of trails. Shorview, indicated that it became very difficult to create liaisons to each other committee from existing committee members because after a while liaisons simply didn't show up for lengthy periods of time. They are now reevaluating this process. OPTIONS 1. Establish a committee of 5 members with staff liaisons to meet on a quarterly basis, unless otherwise needed basis. 2. Some other combination. 3 . Refer back to staff for further consideration.

The bid quantity will include all of the trail segments noted in your memo dated July 24, ,.� 1995. 2. The only items to be bid is the actual paving of the trail and some minor base preparation work to provide a uniform paving surface and transverse slope. No import or removal of base material will be included in the contractors bid. 3. Based on your memo which notes about 10, 147 feet of trail is to be paved,the estimated project cost will exceed$25,000. As per State Statutes, a project of this magnitude must be advertised. 4. We will also submit the project to contractors currently under contract on City projects to determine if they would be able to complete the work as a change order to their original contract. 5. The project will proceed according to the following schedule: Send Construction Details to Existing Contractors for Review as Change Order Work September 12, 1995 Receive Quotes from Existing Contractors September 18, 1995 Advertise in the Quad Community Press September 19, 1995 Open Bids and Award Contract October 2, 1995 Contractor Completes the Construction October 13, 1995 Mr.Marty Asleson September 11, 1995 Page 2 This schedule indicates the paving would be completed yet this fall but if the City wanted to expedite the process the quantity of trail paving could be reduced by about 20%which would reduce the project cost to be level where advertisement would not be required. However,unless we hear otherwise,we will proceed according to the above schedule and will keep you informed of the status as the project proceeds.

As per our meeting in the Fall of 1994,the posts for the hand rail are loose and need to be stabilized with additional spikes or bolts. There are also areas where the decking screws are loosening causing them to pull away from the decking. Both of these problems must be corrected immediately. Please contact us with a schedule for your contractor's correction of these items. It is our understanding that the City is withholding issuance of building permits within the subdivision due to an escrow account deficit. If you do not complete the necessary boardwalk repairs before September 29, 1995,we will recommend to the City that they retain a contractor to complete the repairs and bill you for the repair costs plus 50% as per your development agreement.

I will periodically copy information for you on Parks, Recreation, and Forestry issues. Please notice that the packet is quite thin this month. unless information comes in late Friday, as it usually does on packet week, there were no action items this month. We have been very busy with the projects, thus the meeting shall consist of mostly verbal updates. n n N I r1VQ` n the one hand,you've got your major headaches— like the laminated wood roof that collapses in the humid confines of a natatorium. Or the rest rooms built— remember your high school physics? — below the elevation of a facility's septic tank and drainfield.Or the cold-climate recreation center outfitted with a fabric roof —but without an adequate dehumidification system—that results in scat- tered showers moving through the south-central portions of the facility's j multicourt forum. .q f But then there are those facility problems which, while not as cata- strophic,nonetheless are imbued with what we might call a high level of A.F. —the Annoyance Factor.These are the rest rooms whose floor drains are set in the floor's high spot; the basketball courts with misplaced electrical outlets,which allow the tangle of wires to trip up unsuspecting players who i • venture too close to the scorer's I table; the soft-backed gym ceiling insulation, pocked with holes from kicked or thrown athletic balls.

Assigning blame is not only difficult,but also counterproductive—and as a * By Andrew Cohen facility owner, maybe even a little self-incriminating. As Jon Wiggins, senior parks planner for the Fulton County (Ga.) Department of Parks and Recre- ation, suggests, a proactive owner, fully involved in the planning process, could have helped ward off even the above natatorium's failed laminated roof. "If you have a proper mechanical design,that laminated wood is about as good as anything going,"Wiggins says."But what you have to be conscious of as an owner, is what could happen if the mechanical system fails. The huge risk falls squarely on the owner's shoulders,and it only takes one situ- ation like that to create such negative press that it's a near impossibility to 28 ATHLETIC BUSINESS August 1995 DirectorsAthletic • • Coaches i 1 9 L — right the wrong after it's been done,aside and people are swimming around, bang- from putting up a sign that says, 'Under ing into these mushrooms.

"When maintenance was called in to fix it, someone turned an incorrect valve and we had 1,500 gal- lons of water on the wood floor before we were able to shut it off."Part of the floor had to be replaced, Canning reports. "And," he adds, "this is a very well-designed building." • Conflicting goals. "A poker game" is how Wiggins describes the design process."When you're dealing with a$6 million facility,there's give and take on both sides," says Wiggins. "The archi- tect has ideas about what he or she wants,and you've got ideas about what you want." Szostak says the struggle for archi- tects is in meeting the demands of the client and also keeping in mind the responsibility they feel toward the pub- lic at large. "As architects, we are taught that we're keepers of the flame,so to speak," Szostak says. "It's pretty well ingrained in us that these buildings are seen in a larger scope of the world,so a lot of the ` discussions we have about every proj- ect come down to a tradeoff.The best- operating facility is a big concrete-block box without any windows.We can come up with a very pragmatic list of things that will make a building the best4unc- tioning facility,except it will have no city or regional context, nor will it address Circle 23 on Reply Card August 1995 ATHLETIC BUSINESS 33 i above it,"Body says."But owners very often have to make a choice between having no glare at all or allowing a little Curves Ahead glare because they want to be able to open the pool deck out onto a lawn or sand volleyball areas. "If you actually took the most conserva- tive position on every one of these issues, you'd probably finish up with a fairly life- less building,"he says."There are flat-out errors that occur in facility planning,but a lot of decisions are judgment calls." 1 "It's unfortunate for the people who have these failures,but It's comforting to �, "'� •-,,, the rest of us to realize there's nothing new about them,"says Wiggins. "Fortu- nately, all of these problems have solu- tions,and all can be avoided with proper attention to details at the outset." Solutions found within one year of +' completion are often paid for by archi- tects or contractors, who after all are service professionals —they'll stand behind their work because not doing so I' �'0 V.

A common mistake made by clients and consultants during this early stage is the urge to design the building and show renderings. This can be a deadly tactical error because the sell campaign can be half lost before it begins, based upon the potential early bias of people without complete infor mation. Rather than drawings, use a list of activities and a program mix to show- • _ case a potential new facility. Operations planning — under- standing the "business" aspects. A paradigm shift has occurred during the • last few years in community-based facil- ities. Since most communities are on tight budgets, new facilities and ser- vices are expected to do more than just service the community— they must move toward making enough money to become self-sufficient and operate at a profit just as a traditional business would. The public will be asking ques- tions such as: When will the facility be �" able to generate revenue? How much will it take to start up the facility? How , a ' }o 3 much will it cost to run the facility? 4 r What are the proposed fees for the users?Consultants and community spe cial interest groups must be prepared I `� g P P P -~•� to provide the answers. t Traditionally, many parks and recre- ational facilities have operated at a loss, WYY1 and only a carefully planned and varied optimum program mix complemented by a well-designed center will bring in Circle 28 on Reply Card August 1995 ATHLETIC BUSINESS 39 —�1 expect to see progress immedi Bonds Issued for Public Facilities incly.
