April 10, 1978 Page 9 <br />MSP (Pickar - Ziebarth) to authorize the City to make application for the CETA <br />project as presented by the Park and Recreation Director. <br />Mayor Pickar reported that he had received a $100 check at the Appreciation Dinner <br />from the Snowmobile Club to be used by the Park and Recreation Department and asked <br />that a thank you letter be sent them. <br />5 ayes <br />MSP (Ziebarth- Hodges) to put the check into the general fund and have it discussed <br />at the next Park and Recreation Commission meeting. 5 ayes <br />TWIN CITIES TREE TRUST AGREEMENTS - CONCEPT APPROVAL <br />Park Director Anderson explained that the Twin City Tree Trust is a non - profit <br />organization which sets up environmental projects throughout the metropolitan area <br />and that they have so far established two municipal nurseries. He added that he <br />had meet with Twin City Tree Trust for the past two months, discussing setting up a <br />nursery in Ramsey County and that one is planned to be located at Poplar Lake in <br />Shoreview. He added that four communities have verbally committed themselves, and <br />that the cost to Mounds View would be a $700 initial capitol outlay, and that the <br />majority of the expenses for the first year would be to get fences up and so forth. <br />Park Director Anderson explained that Mounds View would get involved in two agree- <br />ments, between the county and each municipality, and between the Twin City Tree <br />Trust and each municipality. He added that Staff would also recommend that $800 be <br />appropriated for the purchase of trees to get the stock underway, and that Staff was <br />very interested in the project because they would not get a nursery of that caliber <br />going with just the City Staff. <br />Park Director Anderson explained that it was a three phase program and that the <br />agreement would be for only the first year, he felt very positive that funding would <br />be available for the next two years also. <br />Councilmember Ziebarth stated that he was concerned with the percentage the County <br />would be taking of stock for payment. Park Director Anderson replied that Twin <br />City Tree Trust had reached an agreement with Ramsey County whereby they would be <br />transplanting trees for Ramsey County, rather than having the County take stock. <br />Councilmember Rowley asked if the trees to be purchased would be in addition to those <br />planted by the Boy Scouts. Park Director Anderson replied that they would be in <br />addition to the 440 seedlings planted by the Boy Scouts. He also added that he is <br />proposing that the funding come from the Park and Playground fund, and that the <br />expenditure was not budgeted for. Administrator Achen added that there are sufficient <br />funds to cover the cost. <br />Attorney Meyers questioned if there was a proposed joint powers agreement that would <br />be entered into. Park Director Anderson replied that there was one, which was <br />similar to what the City of St. Paul had entered into and that it would be a joint <br />agreement that everyone would sign. <br />Attorney Meyers questioned if the nursery would guarantee the trees. Park Director <br />Anderson replied that they would only guarantee them for 10 days but that he believed <br />that with the volume of business Twin City Tree Trust would be giving the nursery, <br />there would be no problem. <br />
