No one was present for open mike.
REVIEW "THE PRESERVE" PRELIMINARY PLAT:
Rick indicated that "The Preserve" is a 52.56 acre (14.97 acres of upland) residential
development located southwest of Birch Park. The proposed development consists of
31 single family residential units.
Rick said there are internal trails proposed consisting of both boardwalk segments and
bituminous segments. He explained that Trail Segment A begins at Killdeer Drive and
extends directly south to Pheasant Run S (between Lots 1 and 2 of Block 5). This trail
segment consists of approximately 160' of boardwalk and 240' of bituminous trail. Rick
told members that Trail Segment B extends in an easterly direction from Trail Segment
A to Pheasant Run S (near Block 2, Lot 7). This trail segment consists of approximately
220' of boardwalk and 440' of bituminous trail. He went on to say that Trail Segment B
traverses through a conservation area that will restore /enhance several ecological
systems as part of the development process.
Mr. DeGardner said the Park Dedication fees amount to 31 Tots x $2,075 = $64,325.
Estimated construction costs of the trail (depending upon final design of the boardwalk)
are estimated to be $63,000. He told Park Board Members that the City will need to
work closely with the developer to finalize construction costs for the proposed trails to
ensure that we will not have to pay additional dollars for the trails within this
development.

SUBJECT: 2006 Summer Playground Report
Attached is the 2006 Playground Report prepared by Mrs. Liz Benoit, Recreation Supervisor. As
you may recall the format of the Summer Playground Program was drastically changed due to
the elimination of the program's general revenue funding. Although the registration fees were
the same as last year, the program hours were reduced from an eight week program to a seven
week program as well as meeting two days per week rather than five days per week. In addition,
several cost cutting measures were also implemented which may have affected the program
quality for the participants. For example the use of specialist and performers were reduced and t-
shirts were not provided. The overall attendance of the program dropped from 342 participants
in 2005 to 272 participants in 2006.
It should be noted that the proposed 2007 budget includes reinstating partial funding of the
Summer Playground Program.

• 2006 Playground Program
Report
•
•
Join us at the playgrounds for some sensational summer fun!
Theme weeks, arts -n- crafts, specialists and games are just a
sampling off the fun things we'll do this summer. New this
summer is a 2 day per week session. Sign up for one session
or both sessions — the choice is yours! How much fun do you
want to have?
The above description is what appeared in this summer's Recreation Review advertising the
Playground Program. Registration began in late May and continued until the program start date
of June 19. The Playground Program is long time favorite of many in the area and one that has
undergone many changes over the years — the most drastic being the switch this year to the two
day per week option due to the elimination of the program's general revenue funding. In this
report you'll find some of the highlights of and thoughts on this summer's program including
program structure, registration totals, themes, specialists, staff, responses to the changes from
both parents and staff, and recommendations for 2007.

Hours: 1:00 — 4:30 p.m.
Locations: Behm's Park, Birch Park, and Sunrise Park
Morning & Afternoon Program Costs
Due to the budget cuts this summer the price for the program was increased significantly from
previous summers. The cost for the seven week program this summer was $75 per child per
session for non - residents and $50 per child per session for Lino Lakes Residents. Although
these prices were identical to last year's prices, the hours of the program were cut by more than
half — resulting in an overall price increase of over 50% from the summer of 2005.
Friday Programs
Fridays were operated a little differently this summer. We offered a Playground Friday option
this year that was conducted each Friday afternoon from June 23 — July 28 from 1 — 4:30 p.m.
at two different sites per week. Each week the two different sites changed from the previous
•
•
•
week. In an effort to accommodate as many people as possible in the City on the Fridays one
site was always on the east side of town and the other site was always on the west side of town.
The cost for this option was $5 per child per Friday. Attendance varied at the sites from 6 to 25
participants.
Playground Finale
We ended the summer with a playground finale this year
at Sunrise Park. The response to this was pretty high.
100 children registered for this event and many more that
wanted to sign up the day before. However, due to the
amount of supplies we had purchased and staffing
availability we had to stop taking registrations when we hit
100. The finale was a circus themed event that included a
magic show by Magician Brian Richards, refreshments,
our giant bounce, and a variety of carnival type games
including parachute games, relay races, pin the trunk on
the elephant, face painting, bean bag toss and bingo.
T- Shirts
Due to budget cuts, participant t -shirts were not provided this year.
REGISTRATION TOTALS
Maximums per site for this summer were set at 45 for morning sites and 50 for afternoon sites.
The final registration totals for the sites were as follows:
• Birch Park Morning Program — M/W: 18 participants (17 residents, 1 non - resident)
• Birch Park Morning Program — T/Th: 25 participants (all residents)
• Clearwater Creek Park Morning Program — T/Th: 22 participants (all residents)
• Highland Meadows Park Morning Program —11Th: 19 participants (all residents)
• Behm's Park Afternoon Program — M/W: 26 participants (23 residents, 3 non - residents)
• Behm's Park Afternoon Program — T/Th: 51 participants (all residents)
• Birch Park Afternoon Program — M/W: 40 participants (all residents)
• Birch Park Afternoon Program — T/Th: 37 participants (all residents)
• Sunrise Park Afternoon Program — M/W: 29 participants (26 residents, 3 non - residents)
• Sunrise Park Afternoon Program — T/Th: 50 participants (39 residents, 11 non - residents)
As you can see, the majority of the participants served by this program were Lino Lakes
residents. Very few non - residents (only 5.68% of the overall total) were served this year by this
program compared to previous years. This decline in non - resident participation may have been
caused by the higher fees or by more program offerings in neighboring communities — the
YMCA ran a similar program in Circle Pines at Golden Lake Park and the City of Blaine
increased the number of playground program sites they offered. The overall attendance of the
program this year also dropped. It went from 342 participants in 2005 to 272 participants in
2006 — a 20.47% decrease.
THEMES & SPECIAL THEME CRAFT PROTECTS
The objective of the theme week is to provide participants with opportunities to learn and
experience new activities in a fun and safe environment. Each week of the Playground Program
•
•
had a different theme. Staff planned all activities, including arts -n- crafts and games, around the
weekly theme. In addition, all sites were visited each week by the Art/Event Specialist who led
the participants in a special themed craft. The themes and special themed crafts for this
summer are listed below. To avoid duplication for those enrolled in both a Monday/Wednesday
program and a Tuesday/Thursday program, there were different crafts for each program.
Week 1: Wild, Wild West
Crafts: Bandanas, Bead Reptiles
Welcome to the "Wild, Wild West" and the start of the Summer Playground Program. This week
participants will learn about a time when miners, bankers, ranchers, blacksmiths and the like
owned the towns and outlaws ran wild. Be creative in your plan for the week. Learn a bit about
the "Wild, Wild West and what America was like before the west was "tamed." Most importantly
— get to know the participants that will be spending the summer at your site.
Week 2: Tales of Knights and Ladies
Crafts: Crowns, Prince & Princess Hats, Magic Wand Bookmarks
It's time for the children to use their imaginations to travel back to a time where courageous
Knights fought fierce dragons and conquered the hearts of Ladies. A time when Kings and
Queens ruled the lands and chivalry was the code of the day. Everyone (Knights, Ladies,
Peasants and Royalty) will enjoy this fantasy week of a time when people fought (both verbally
and physically) for their beliefs and for the love of their families and friends.
Week 3: Starts & Stripes Forever
Crafts: American Flag Bookmarks, American Flag Bead
Ornament
Let the flag fly high this week! Show off your parks patriotism
by decorating it in red, white and blue, play Uncle Sam tag and
instead of capture the flag, play "Ring the Liberty Bell!" Create
American flags to put up at your park and learn to sing the
National Anthem. It's all about America this week!
Week 4: Surfing Safari
Crafts: Sand Shakes, Ocean Pictures
It's time to stop hanging around the ball field and have some wet and wild water fun. Tell the
children to grab their swimsuits and towels for this week of watery fun. Spend time making
sandcastles, watercolor paintings, milk carton boats, and much, much more. Be wet and wild
during this fun - filled water week.
Week 5: Go for the Gold
Crafts: Olympic Medals, Olympic Flags
"Light the torch, the flame is here!" The participants will have Olympic fever this week as they
participate in a variety of Olympic games and learn about the history of the Olympics. Have the
participants choose a country to represent and make that country's flag while learning about the
country. Create medals and have a park Olympic day. Let the participants experience the joy
of sports and competition.
Week 6: Earth Wise
Crafts: Pom Pom Caterpillar Pictures, Wind Socks
"Reduce, Reuse, Recycle — this is our motto." Spend the week learning how to be more
environmentally friendly. Learn ways to reuse, learn about recycling, learn about habitats and
0 learn about the different environments of our planet. Learn how everyone can make a
difference on our planet and how we can keep our planet healthy.
•
Week 7: Crusaders of the Universe
Craft: Planet Earth, Starry Night/Star Constellation Pictures
The children will become space explorers this week. Their mission: to learn as much as
possible about outer space and the solar system. Spend time making up aliens creatures and
new planets or learn about space, the solar system and beyond. Whatever you do — it's bound
to be an "out of the world" experience for everyone.
SPECIALISTS
A variety of specialists visited the Playground Program sites this summer. All except the
Art/Event Specialist visited each program group (M/W and T/Th) once — the Art/Event Specialist
visited each site weekly. This summer's specialists included: Lino Lakes Police, Centennial
Fire, Wargo Nature Center, and the Art/Event Specialist.
STAFF
Seventeen staff were hired to work on a regular basis
with the Playground Program this year in the following
positions: Summer Coordinator (1), Art/Event Specialist
(1), Head Leader (5), Leader (5) and Assistant Leader
(5). Four staff were hired to work as substitutes with the
program in the following positions: Head Leader (2),
Leader (1), and Assistant Leader (1). Of the 21 total staff
hired 5 were first year staff and 16 were returning staff.
Staff ranged in age from recently completed sophomore
year in high school to completed college. Our specific
breakdown were as follows: completed 10th grade in
2006 (1), completed 11th grade in 2006 (4), completed
12th grade in 2006 (4), completed 1St year of college in 2006 (2), completed 2"d year of college
2006 (6), completed 3rd year of college in 2006 (1), college graduates (3).
Responses to the Changes
in
Parent
Once it was announced that the general revenue funding for this program was going to be
eliminated we decided to conduct a survey of past participants about possible changes to the
program. Past participants were given three options (two day /week, four day /week or five
day /week) to choose from in regards to how the program would be structured this summer. Of
the 198 surveys sent out 70 were returned (a 35.35% response rate). Of those that responded
25 preferred the two day per week option, 21 preferred the four day per week option, 21
preferred the five day per week option, 2 preferred either the two day or the four day option and
1 had no definite opinion. From these responses, we made the decision to go with the two day
per week program option with each session (M/W, T/Th) being slightly different so as to avoid
duplication for those that chose to enroll in both sessions.
•
•
Once the program changes had been made and the marketing materials were distributed we
received some negative comments from residents via email and phone — many from the
Clearwater Creek Park neighborhood where the program was changed from an afternoon
program in 2005 to a morning program in 2006 (and a morning program that ended up only
running two days per week due to lack of registration). The comments received from those in
Clearwater Creek Park neighborhood included statements to the effect of: mornings are just not
a good time as children have activities in the morning, parents have a harder time filling up the
afternoon hours for their children, disappointed in the format changes, kids will be disappointed
that they don't receive t- shirts, we may not decide to participate based on these changes, the
program is such a great outlet for a summer afternoon when kids are looking for something to
do, disappointed that there was not a discount for families with multiple children, two days is just
not enough, afternoons were so popular — we don't understand the change to mornings.
Although the comments received in regards to our decisions were strong, our decisions were
based on the survey responses which indicated that the two day per week option was the most
favorable and that a morning program would be supported.
There were very few other negative comments received from parents other than those from the
Clearwater Creek Park neighborhood. They either chose not to send their children if they didn't
like the changes or they did not feel strongly enough about the changes that they needed to
contact us with their opinions.
Staff
After the summer was over we surveyed the staff to get their opinions on the new program
structure. We found that the majority of the staff liked the afternoon time frame. Those that did
work the morning shift thought it was a bit too early. Another comment that was made about the
morning program was that there were too few kids in the morning at some sites (particularly
Highland Meadows) to really enjoy any group activities.
Another popular comment from staff was that they liked the structure of the program in 2005 as
they got to know the children better when they came more often and they also earned their
respect a lot quicker and easier. In addition, the two day per week format resulted in some staff
working only two days per week based on registration numbers and this ended up being not
very popular with those staff as they would have preferred to have worked everyday for a
shorter amount of time than two long days.
Some positive remarks from the staff about the summer included: the program was a wonderful
experience for me, I enjoyed working here, I loved the people, the summer went really good, the
staff assignments were great, the kids were great, the staff were fabulous, the program is run
very well, it was a really fun summer, and the kids and staff enjoyed coming to park.
Overall the staff had a very favorable opinion of the program despite the changes to the format.
Of the 14 that completed our survey all of them said they would reapply for a position with us
next summer.
Recommendations for 2007
Based on the comments we received from parents and staff, as
well as the registration totals, there are several changes I would
like to recommend for 2007. The first change would be to
reinstate the general revenue funding. The second would be to
change both the Highland Meadows Park site and the Clearwater
•
•
•
Creek Park site back to afternoon program sites. The third would be to offer Fridays at all sites.
The fourth would be to offer the program again for five days per week. The consistency that this
brought for the staff and children really made things run a lot smoother. If the general revenue
funding was reinstated we could support offering the programs five days per week again with
the same fees as in 2005. My last recommendation for 2007 would be to continue with the
reduction in total staff numbers. Because children generally do not attend everyday it is not
necessary to staff based on the maximum enrolled, but rather staff based on attendance trends.
The smaller staff size also made it easier to get to know the staff and have a better relationship
with each one.

SUBJECT: Follow -Up on I -35E Development
As referenced in the attached emails dated September 10, September 11, and September 29, Mr.
Frederickson has requested that this issue be placed on the Park Board agenda.
As explained to Mr. Frederickson, the developer is still working with City staff and Anoka
County staff to resolve some transportation issues pertaining to the Village of Hardwood Creek
Development. When the transportation issues are resolved, the site planning process will again
commence with the developer incorporating some issues that have been previously identified by
city staff and the advisory boards. For example, city staff has expressed a strong desire to
provide a 10 acre park area as well as smaller neighborhood park areas throughout the
development. Staff anticipates the amended preliminary development site plan changing
dramatically from what was reviewed by the advisory boards in April. Once the site plans are
reviewed by City staff, the advisory boards will again have an opportunity to comment on the
plans for the Village of Hardwood Creek Development.

There are two issues that I think need to be addressed by the Board. First, I thin that
thee needs to be some follow -up per my prior e -mails regarding the development that is
ongoing up on I -35E near Centerville. I have some strong concerns about the development
of parks /green space in the development, and I think this was the general consensus at the
all board meeting several months ago.
Secondly, I would like to revisit the issue of the former Rice Lake Estates Park. It was
my understanding that the City of Circle Pines was going to add additional park equipment
at the park near Rice Lake Estates location. I think the equipment that was added was
great. However, Circle Pines has now removed the old equipment that was located at this
location. I think this efficiently leaves us where we were before and I am quite
disappointed. I would like this issue to be addressed at the next meeting.
Thank you.

My flight was later getting in on Tuesday and I was not able to make it to the annual
tour. I have had a chance to see the shelter at Highland Meadows Park. I think that it
IIIlooks really nice and I hope that the kids /staff enjoyed it during the park program this
past summer.
•
There are two issues that I think need to be addressed by the Board. First, I thin that
thee needs to be some follow -up per my prior e -mails regarding the development that is
ongoing up on I -35E near Centerville. I have some strong concerns about the development
of parks /green space in the development, and I think this was the general consensus at the
all board meeting several months ago.
Secondly, I would like to revisit the issue of the former Rice Lake Estates Park. It was
my understanding that the City of Circle Pines was going to add additional park equipment
at the park near Rice Lake Estates location. I think the equipment that was added was
great. However, Circle Pines has now removed the old equipment that was located at this
location. I think this efficiently leaves us where we were before and I am quite
disappointed. I would like this issue to be addressed at the next meeting. ./
Thank you.

Park Board Meeting - October 4, 2004
Minutes
• RICE LAKE ESTATES PARK UPDATE:
Rick advised on Wednesday, September 22, he was informed that
City of Circle Pines staff removed the playground equipment at
Rice Lake Estates Park. He provided a brief summary of the
history of the situation noting the property was leased by the
City of Lino Lakes from the City of Circle Pines to provide some
leisure amenities for residents in the Rice Lake Estates
Development. When the lease was discussed in 1998, the City of
Circle Pines' future plans for the property was for future
commercial and /or industrial development. In 1999, a trail
connection from the park area to Baldwin Park (Circle Pines Park)
as well as playground equipment and a court basketball court
were installed.
•
On June 29, 2004, staff was informed by Circle Pines staff that
they had recently platted this property consisting of 52 single -
family homes. Unfortunately, the southern boundary of this
subdivision bisects the existing location of the playground
structure. Several options were discussed with Circle Pines
staff agreeing to resolve this matter to Lino Lakes'
satisfaction. Last Wednesday, City staff observed the playground
structure being dismantled. Circle Pines staff was immediately
contacted to express disappointment on how this was handled.
Consequently, the residents of Rice Lake Estates and City staff
were caught off guard with the sudden removal of the equipment.
It was staff's intent to notify residents of the situation,
including a timeline and how the situation would be resolved,
once an action plan from Circle Pines was developed. To date,
the City still has not received any communication /correspondence
from Circle Pines pertaining to how this matter is going to be
resolved.
Rick advised City staff has received several telephone calls from
area residents wondering what happened to the playground
equipment. Some residents have also contacted the Quad and Star
Tribune. Rick suggested a formal position statement from the
Park Board may help expedite a workable solution to this
situation.
Rick noted the Circle Pines Park Board meeting is scheduled
tomorrow evening. This issue is on their agenda for discussion.
Paul clarified that what would happen if the property was sold
was not addressed in the lease. He inquired about the City of
Lino Lakes getting the park equipment back. Rick advised Circle
Pines City staff believes the equipment could be moved and
assembled in another location. Rick stated he believes the posts
are too worn out to relocate. Playground equipment typically
lasts 15 years. There was no type of termination notice in the
2

Minutes
lease. He noted he believes there could be some legal issues.
The basketball court will more than likely be removed also. The
development is a senior type project with no planned park area.
Staff would like the City of Circle Pines to commit to a
resolution that Lino Lakes is comfortable with.
Paul asked if staff believes the City of Lino Lakes will get
billed for the removal of the equipment. Rick stated he did not
think the City would get billed for the removal of the equipment.
He stated staff intends on informing the residents in the area
when a resolution is agreed on.
Bill stated he believes there should be some sort of
reimbursement for the equipment so the City can plan another park
area for residents in that area.
Rick suggested getting a commitment from Circle Pines to upgrade
Baldwin Park for residents in that area to utilize.
It was the consensus of the Park Board that they want to see
funds, at least in the equivalent of the money spent for Rice
Lake Estates Park, spent on additional improvements at Baldwin
Park. Staff should include a dollar amount in the proposal.
Paul Montain made a motion, seconded by Bill Kusterman, to direct
staff to continue to work with Circle Pines to resolve this issue
noting that if the situation is not resolved, the City may pursue
other options. The motion was approved.
Rick noted the Circle Pines Park Board meeting is tomorrow
evening. He stated Park Board Members from Lino Lakes are
welcome to attend.
RECREATION DEPARTMENT UPDATE:
Rick referred to the Program Highlights Flyer from September
2004. He noted a total of 310 participants (grades 2 -8) are in
fall football - a total of 17 teams. A total of 412 participants
(ages 5 -12) are in fall soccer this year - equaling 45 total
teams.
Rick added the 7th Annual Family Turkey Shoot is scheduled for
Saturday, November 13, 2004 from 10 a.m. - Noon at Centennial
Middle School. Staff is currently look for volunteers to help
with this event.
PARKS DEPARTMENT UPDATE:
Rick reviewed a memo from Mike Hoffman, Parks Supervisor, which
summarizes the maintenance highlights for September 2004. Rick
noted the seasonal staff has left and gone back to school. The
turf is growing like crazy and we are trying to cut twice weekly.

Mr. Dave Phipps, Parks Director

RE: Rice Lake Estates Park
Dear Mr. Phipps:
The Lino Lakes Park Board met last night and the most significant topic of conversation was the
recent developments concerning Rice Lake Estates Park.
After much discussion the Park Board recommended that, "The City of Circle Pines expend
funds for improvements to Baldwin Park including new playground equipment and a full size
basketball court. The cost of the improvements should at least equal the investment that Lino
Lakes had put into Rice Lake Estates Park."
Park Board Members, area residents, and city staff are very disappointed with the way the
destruction of Rice Lake Estates Park has been handled. A commitment from the City of Circle
Pines to install playground equipment and a full size basketball court at Baldwin Park is the best
solution for all parties involved. Not only will this provide leisure opportunities for the residents
in the Rice Lake Estates Development (via paved trail), it will also enhance Baldwin Park for the
existing and future residents of Circle Pines. I assume that the park dedication dollars derived
from the new Pine Hollow Development will more than cover the requested improvements to
Baldwin Park.
It is imperative that the City of Circle Pines provides an acceptable solution to resolve this
situation soon. It's been very difficult for city staff to address the concerns of area residents with
out a specific commitment from the City of Circle Pines.
I understand there has been some discussions to relocate the dismantled playground structure. I
caution you to inspect the playground components (especially the posts), to ensure the end result
is an aesthetically pleasing structure. Since Rice Lake Estates Park was designated as a mini -
park, the playground structure was relatively small in size. If new playground equipment is
installed at Baldwin Park, it would make sense to increase the size of the play structure. A full
size basketball court would also make sense. Incidentally, the City of Lino Lakes spent
approximately $45,000 to develop Rice Lake Estates Park. This excludes the existing trail
connection to Baldwin Park.
Unfortunately, I have a previous commitment this evening and will not be able to attend the
Circle Pines Park Board Meeting. However, some Park Board Members have indicated that they
may attend this evening's meeting. I look forward to resolving this unfortunate situation very
soon so our residents can be informed what will be happening.
Sincerely,
Rick DeGardner

Re: Rice Lake Estates Park
Dear Mr. DeGardner:
The purpose of this letter is to update you on the City of Circle Pines progress towards its commitment
to the replacement of playground equipment and construction of hard surface court in Baldwin Park.
The City has retained Brauer & Associates as part of the overall Comprehensive Park Plan update.
The master plan for Baldwin Park has been included in the scope of work for Brauer & Associates.
We and they are mindful of your desire to have the replacement playground equipment and hard
surface court in place as quickly as possible. It will be our top priority as we begin the 2005
construction season. Our intent is to minimize the length of time the Rice Lake Estates residents are
limited to the existing play structure in Baldwin Park.
We desire this to be an inclusive process, as we master plan Baldwin Park to provide equipment and
services to all area residents. We wish to include Lino Lakes staff and Rice Lake Estates residents in
the master plan process. Please let us know how you would like to best accomplish this.
We have already included a Rice Lake Estates resident on the overall task force for our Park
Comprehensive Plan, as was requested by the individual resident last fall.
We certainly believe it is in our mutual interest to provide the needed equipment and amenities to
provide for adequate parks and recreation services for all users, irrespective of City boundaries.
I would be happy to discuss this further with you.
Sincerely,
James W. Keinath
City Administrator

RE: Park Update
I want to give residents in the Rice Lake Estates development an update
regarding the park situation.
The City of Circle Pines is in the process of developing a master plan for Baldwin
Park. An initial meeting of the City of Circle Pines Task Force was held earlier
this month to begin the master planning process. Ms. Cathy Broberg, a Rice
Lake Estates resident, is a member of the task force. Circle Pines staff has
scheduled several public meetings to gather input, review concept plans, and
formulate a final master plan for Baldwin Park.
The City of Circle Pines Park Board is scheduled to review the final master plan
on June 7th. To expedite the installation of the playground equipment, the City of
Circle Pines has agreed to begin the process of soliciting bids, etc., so the public
can review and comment on the proposals prior to adoption of the final master
plan. Residents are invited to review the proposals on Thursday, May 19th'
6:30pm at Circle Pines City Hall (200 Civic Heights Circle). It is the intent of
Circle Pines staff to place an order for the playground equipment by May 23rd
Assuming 5 -7 weeks for delivery and installation, we hope the new playground
structure will be available for use by early July.
In addition, we have also expressed our desire to Circle Pines staff that a full size
basketball court be incorporated in the master plan for Baldwin Park.
Circle Pines staff has indicated that they expect that the area behind the well
house will be graded within the next few weeks. The plan is to restore the area
with native grasses.
I hope you have an enjoyable spring!!
