Call to Order The Mour�ds View Parks and Recreation Comnission was called
to order at 6:40 p.m. by Chairman Wayne Burmeister.
Roll Call Commissioners present - Chairman Burmeister, Commissioners
Fedor, Linke and Weflen.
Commissioners absent - Commissioners Coplin, Haake and
Kuluvar.
Councilmember present - Councilmember Ziebarth.
Staff present - Director Anderson and Program Supervisor
Kvalheim.
Visitors present - Mr. Lloyd Scott, 5100 Red Oak Drive.
Mr. Scott is an applicant for the Parks and Recreation
Comnission.
Approval of Cortsnissioner Linke made a motion to accept the minutes as
Minutes read. Commissioner Weflen seconded the motion. The motion
passed unanimously.
Councilmember's Couacitmember Ziebarth informed the Comnissioners that St.
Report Anthony has recently built a park shelter which is becoming
a problem facility. It was suggested that the Cammissioners
determine the needs and interests of the community as well
as the location, utilization and other shelter facility
information before action is taken.
Also, Councilmember Ziebarth informed the Commissian about
the possibility of extending the number of Commissioners
from 7 to 9 members. The City Councilmembers are discussing
the issue. No appointments have been made to this date.
Park Shelter Director Anderson expressed the proble� of very low
Building Task attendance at the past Park Shelter Building Task Foree
Force meetings. Director Anderson's suggestion was to disband
the Park Shelter Task Force and form a sub-committee from
within the Park and Recreation CommSSSion and staff. This
sub-committee would aiso be inciuded in the Park and Open
Space planning committee.
Questions asked by the Commissioners included:
1. Would the Park Shetter Bullding 7ask Force members play
a part in the sub-commlttee4
2. Wouid the possib111ty of a larger number of commisstoners
be Tn expectation of the sub-committee?
-z-
3. What has been the interest of the Park Shelter Building
Task Force?
4. How would the sub-committee function?
5. Would the Park and Open Space plan and the Park Shelter
issue be incorporated or be dealt as special entities7
In answer to these questions, Director Anderson suggested that:
t. The sub-comnittee would only be comprised af Parks and
Recreation Commission members and staff. The former
Park Shelter Building Task Force would not be included.
2. The number of Commissioners will have no bearing on the
sub-committee make up.
3. The interest of the former Park Shelter Building Task
Force has been great by the few persons who attend the
meetings.
4. The sub-comnittee wauld be responsible for the development
of a community survey and implementation of 2 neighborhood
park meetings. In this way it is hoped that the Commission
will receive the necessary feedback to determine the needs,
wants and interests of the community.
5. The fark and Open Space plan and the Park Shelter issue
would definitely be dealt with as cooperating issues.
Councilmember Ziebarth suggested that the cortmunity feedback
would be very desirabte and would hopefully enhance comnunity
park and open space development by provision of residents'
suggestions and criticisms.
Commissioner Linke expressed his belief that the Park and
Open Space plan and Park Shelter certainly are cooperative
projects.
Chairman Burneister made the suggestion that the Park Shelter
Task Force be disbanded and the formation af a Park and
Open Space sub-committee be implemented during the February
Park and Recreation Commission meeting. The delaty was
su9gested to await the City Council's decision on appoint-
ment of additional commissioners and in anticipation of
full attendance.
Silver View Park Director Anderson reviewed the new plans as drafted by Kraus/
Status Anderson in reference to the Si7ver View project. Director
Anderson has met with the state planntng agency and the finat
stamp of approval for funding wi11 be given February 1. In
the event of a land-swappSng deal, the funding would show no
effect other than a one month delqy.

Winter Skating Director Anderson reviewed the Winter Skating Poiicy
Policy Manual Manual. Commissioner Fedor made a motion to accept the
Policy Manual as read. The motion was seconded by
Commissioner Weflen. The motion passed unanimously.

Commissioner Linke suggested that the light fixtures at
Greenfield rink be tilted to include the pleasure skating
rink.
Director Anderson informed the Commissian that Greenfield
hockey rink has declared time for pleasure skating only
on Wednesday and Sunday evenings from 7:30-9:00 p.m.
Also> in the future, the department may concentrate on the
development and maintenance of tvo major hockey rinks
instead of the four rinks> thereby providing Lake Region
Hockey with 2 game rinks and 4 practice rinks.
Winter/Spring Program Supervisor Kvalheim reviewed the 1979 recreation
Brochure programs for Winter and Spring.
Park and Open Director Anderson reviewed the concept and time schedule
Space Plan of a community Park and Open Space Plan. The commission
agreed that the formatian and implementation of such a
plan would definitely be of benefit to the camnunity. It
was therefore agreed that at the February Parks and Recrea-
tion Commission meeting> 3 members would be appointed te
the sub-comnittee. Tfie development of a survey is the
first agenda task.
Staff Report Director Anderson reviewed the staff report.
Comnissioner Linke reporEed that Lakeside Park Commission
has acquired a new fiberglass dock, 25 feet long, for the
Lakeside swimning beach. Alsa, a new picnic shelter will be
available at Lakeside Park this sumner.

RE: Silver View Park Acquisiticn
Enclosed is a copy of a tetter mailed to 14r. Dan Engelsma, Vica President,
Kraus/Mderson which has been our last correspondence regarding the Silver
View Park land acquisition. At this point we have not contacted nor have
we heard from Kraus/Anderson in regards to this issue.
The state called the other day and informed us that the contract for funding
along with the check for acquisition will be delivermd to the City by mid-April.
Basically staff has been waiting to receive the final grant monies before any
formal negotiations are recpened with Kraus/Anderson.
Staff still feels that the following p3ckage could hest benefit the City and
developer:
7. Re-locate the park site up *,o Co�nty Road I and Silver Lake Road.
2. Trade the City's existing 16.5 acres for an equal amount of land
directly north.
3. Direct CiLy Attarney hkyers to make an offer on behalf of the City
for $10,006/acre which wou7d purchase 12.8 acres.
4. Comnence development of the 28.8 acres of park land with the 1979
L.A.W.C.O.N. Phase i Development Grant.
5. Recomnend to the Council that the City dertend 10% land dedication of
park land as their share of the Park dedication fund. This would in
turn potentialy bring the City an additional 70 acres for a total park
site of 38.8 acres.
Staff's first priority before we follow the aforementioned process would
sti11 be to work out total package agreement with Kraus/Rnderson to ensure a
high quality development.

Dear Mr. Enyelsma:
Enclosed are three maps with overlays outlini�g the proposals for land
acqutsition as they have evolved during the past mAnth. In addition I
have included a brief staff report capsulizing the recent progress to
the Lity Council.
A brief description of the three maps and tt�eir background is as foltows:
Exhibit A- This was the City's orlginal proposal presented to
Mr. Cremers on Decertber 27, 1978, outlining the City's need for
34.6 acres of proper;y. During that neeting I discussed 0ith
Mr. Creaers the enclosed outl5ne of !rinimal requireirents the
Lity would require and he agreed wiYh each of them without hesi-
tation. Following what I felt was a pusitive meeting he directed
me to contact Oevelopment Concepts to draft a compromisA plan Por
his review upon his return from Hawaii. We did rreet wiLh Develop-
aent Concepts and arrived at ExhiS±t B as our comnon proposal.
E�ibft B- This is the exact drawing that was agreed upon by
both the City and Devetopnent Concapts as a viable i�lternat7ve.
Devetopment Loncepts staff made it clear that ihey were Sn no
posit7on Lo approve a final proposal as they were merely a design
firm under contract with your firm. The Lity in turn informed
them that we were nct able to make the final mandate as both the
City Park Board and Council would need to revSew the proposal.
���. �_��y.:�..�.,. raye c
Exhibit C- Approximately one weak later the City received Exhibit ,,.�.
� from Developrient Concepts outli�ing an area of 23.7 acres, as the
revised proposal from Mr. Crer�ers. In addition to falling short of
the C9ty's minimum requirerents, approxirwtely 1/4 of the proposed
property was unbuildable.
Fullowing the City's review rre drafted the letter to t1r. Cremers
dated January 15, 1919 autlining the City's displeasi^p with the
submitted proposal.
It shoutd be noted that I have not spoken with I�ir. Cremers since the final
proposal from �evelop�rent Concepts was fonvarded as he has been in Hawaii.
I do not Snvision the existing differences of opinion as unsurrt�ountable
by any rieans and I can assure you that the City is more than willing to
negotiate on this issue.
Feel free to gfve rre a call at 784-3055 if I can offer further clarification
or be of assistance in any way.
I look forxard io hear7�.,, from you in regards to this issue in the near future.

Dear John:
After review;n� our fi?a ^^ �dgewood Jr. High School project, the following
data shauld help brin9 you up to-date as to where we are.
We co�ryleted the following projects during 1978:
r
Surveyinq - Co�leted 9/7l78
N. C. Hoium and Associates -$1,945.00
,�
Grading - Completed 9/8/78
G1enn Rehbein Excavating - $11,200
Irrigation System - Completed 9/12/79
Aqua City Irrigation - $16,700
Top dress and re-seed all turf areas - Co�leted 9/15/78
Environmental Lawn and Turf Inc. -$9>500
Ag-lime for infields - Completed 9/74/78
J. L. Shiely Co. - $2,460
Replace backstops - Purchased 12/6/78
Game Time - E2.000
Total aetual expenditures for 1978 were $43,805, which was 56,305 over budget
because of the backstops and footbalt field irri9ation whSch were not budgeted
and an overrun on excavation of ;4,000.
Mr. Ostlund

The scheduled 1979 project of constructing 4 new lit tennis courts has been
postponed until 1980 at a cost of $50,000, which was intended to be split
between the City and School District 50-50.
The 1980 construction was rtwved ahead to 1979 as per agreement from P1r. Barry
Bauer. The 198D construction of Phase 3 is as follows:
` Resurface Old Tennis Courts 5 7,000
Install 4 land track $10,000
Purchase bleachers and benches $ 5,000
Trailwdy system $ 3,000
Knockdown hockey rink $ 4,000
9,000
Of that 529,000 the School District was going to pay $23,OQ0 and the (ity
^�6,000. The City currently has budgeted in the 7979 adopted budget thE
required 56,000 matching funds.
�
Phase four in 1982 includes the construction of a$3�,000 multi-purpose
building for $30,000 of which the City's sha�e will be $5,000.
Sin.:e that time we have discussed the possibilities of constructing °hase 2
in 1979 with the understanding that the City could pay its pro-rata share of
525,000 or 50% in fiscal year 1980. At this point I have not brought this
issue before the Councit for approval and I really do not have a fe:' as to
how the proposal will be received.
At this point I feel that many of the elements of Phase 3 should receive a
higher priority than the tennis court constructian. Specific ite� that I
see as imperative are the trailway system and bteachers and players benches.
In addition I foresee �5,000 of.misceltaneous expenses to complete the fields
for the 1979 season such as homeplates> pitchers rubbers, minor landscaping,
final grading work and fertilizer.
If the construction of the tennis courts would negate the possibility of these
ite� totalling §13,000 or $7,000 of the School District's rtaney (pending the
use of the City's $6,000) I could not support the construction of tennis courts
in 1979. It was � original understanding that we were ;ning to try and do
both Phase 2 and 3 in 1979.
I hope thts clarifies � position on this issue and I will await your response
before bringing the tennis courts before the Council.
Once again thanks for lunch and I hope all is going well. GO SLOW!

RE: Silver View Park Acquisition Status
On Wednesday, June 20, a meeting was held with two representatives from
Kraus-Anderson, Mr. Dale Cremers and Mr. Dan Engelsma, along with Park Commissioners
Haake, Silvis and Scott, and Council members Rowley and Ziebarth. The meeting
lasted approximately 1; hours with Kraus-Anderson presenting their general proposal
for the development of Oak Lake Park. Staff will be reviewing the Kraus-Anderson
proposal in detail with the Co�nission on Thursday, specifical7y as it relates to
the acquisition of additional acreage and impact of their proposed development on
the park.
Staff would recomnend that the Parks & Recreation Comnition recommend to the City
Planning Commission the following:
1. Silver View Park should be located at the corner of Silver Lake Road and
County Road I with the main park entrance coming off of County Road I.
2. To direct City Attorney Meyers to negotiate with Kraus-Anderson a minimum
of 30-35 acres of park land through outright purchase, tand "swap" of
the City's existing 16.9 acres and future park dedication.
3. That the park land would have access and frontage to the proposed Oak Lake
Park with trail corridors provided by the developer which would provide
access from County Road H-2, Long Lake Road, County Road I and Silver Lake
Road.
4. that Kraus-Anderson provide an easement around the entire proposed Oak Lake
