6. STAFF REPORTS
A. YMCA: See YMCA/MVCC update. Starting Dodgeball, Silly Song Land, One-time
parent/child craft nights, Improv theater. Pickelball Tues/Thurs mornings 9-10 am. Silver
Sneakers and Silver & Fit programs running. Depends upon the insurance. Gymnastics
event had 20% increase with 341 events. 341 events at the Event Center. Fall Family Fun
Festival had 260+ people attend. Cookies with Santa Saturday, Dec 8 from 11-1. Open gym
participants increasing along with volleyball. Field rentals are about the same, building
rentals are up. Hiring for ice rink staff. Swimming lessons at Edgewood Middle School will
be changing to Emma B Howe YMCA via voucher from MVCC, and will be offered in
different formats at various times. Abbey Hope lessons will still be offered at Edgewood for
water safety with swimming. MVCC will keep track of residents taking the voucher.
B. Public Works: Prepping shelters and facilities for winter. Leaves falling gradually requires
more hours for clean up. Eagle Scout did the east gable at Silverview Park. Staff will do the
west side in the spring. Younger scouts pulled wild grapes and buck thorn from around the
pond. Aerated fields and seeded with time-release seed. Many blow-downs in parks, so
cutting up wood and disposing of it. We would like to recognize the Eagle Scout and troop
leader at the City Council meeting. Staff will coordinate and let us know when to attend.
Staff will lower temps at Groveland to shut down the shelter for the winter without using
antifreeze.
1. Discussed change in Park Building and Field rentals. Leave as a set amount for a
4-hour time frame, but the different classes would get percentage discounts. Consider
aligning the park buildings with the Event Center rentals in multi-purpose rooms. Free 2-
hour rental for all Class I stays the same. Motion by Aukee, 2nd by Kunz to adjust the
park building rental fees to a set amount with percentage discounts dependent
upon the classification of the reserving party. Motion Passed 6-0.
2. Consider changing the fees. Leave as is for this year with the current percentage
change and re-evaluate next fall.
3. After 26.5 years, Steve Dazenski will be retiring on December 4, 2013.
7. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. Review Trail and Sidewalk Plan: Table for December meeting.
B. Discuss Disc Golf Course Modifications at Silver View Park: Mike Snelson from Fairway
Flyers gave recommendations to adjusting the course. The rough draft follows remnants of
an original course that still has some pipes and overgrown fairways. Proposed course
would accommodate 9 holes in the woods on the west side of the parking lot. Option to add
a water containment pond, by holes 7 and 8. Course design would assist with preserving
high-value trees and removing low-value trees. Many low-value trees will need to be
managed and thinned out anyway. Targets should be replaced with more durable and
deeper baskets. Can add rebar and cement for theft deterrent. Could use a wrap as a buffer
for trees. Can we combine the tree locations with the proposed rough course in a new
layout? Need to consider erosion issues and run-off paths. The proposed rough draft does
not have many erosion issues. 9-hole disc golf estimate: $8100 for materials. $1000 for
design. City Staff can do the labor. Have a forester mark high-value trees before the
designer comes in. Mike will put a cost estimate together and give to City Staff and
timeline recommendations. Staff will retrieve course information from Greenfield.
Consider having a sub-committee to put data together with recommendations.
8. NEW BUSINESS
A. Recommend Applicants for 3-Year Commission Terms beginning Jan. 1, 2014:
1. Cindy Palm has submitted her application for renewal. Motion by Aukee, 2nd by Long
to approve the applicant and recommend to the City Council. Motion passed 6-0.
2. Motion by Kroeger, 2nd by Long to appoint Dale Aukee as Chairperson, Gerald
Arel as Vice Chairperson, and Cindy Palm as Secretary for the 2014 Commission.
Motion Passed 5-0 with one abstain.

the exception of Nov and Dec when we would meet on the third Thursday, and the

To: Parks & Recreation & Forestry Commissioners
From: Nick DeBar – Director of Public Works &
Don Peterson – Public Works Supervisor
Date: January 23, 2014
RE: Public Works Staff Report
The following is a synopsis of recent activities and events of the Public Works Department.
Personnel
Park Supervisor Steve Dazenski retired in early December after 26-1/2 years working for the City of Mounds
View. Public Works discussed a proposal to restructure/tweak the department’s staffing structure with the
City Council at their December 2013 work session as follows:
1. Eliminate Parks Supervisor position in Maintenance Division and replace with non-supervisory
position focused on project management in the Engineering Division.
2. Add a full-time Parks Maintenance Worker position in the Maintenance Division.
The City Council was supportive of the proposal and authorized advertising for a maintenance worker on
December 9, 2013. The City received 107 applicants and is currently rating the applicants to obtain a short
list to interview. A final candidate is expected to be presented to the City Council at one of their regular
meetings in February. The project management position will be reviewed at the February work session.
Don Peterson, Public Works Supervisor, will assume the supervisory duties of the eliminated Parks
Supervisor position. Don will lead the Maintenance Division of Public Works and will be a regular attendee
at the Commission meetings.
Maintenance
This winter has been one of the best in last 5 or so years for establishing and maintaining ice rinks both
pleasure and hockey. The cooler temperatures in the early fall and cold temperatures continuing into the
winter has allowed Public Works staff to establish the ice early and maintain a nice sheet of ice throughout
the winter months. This winter parks staff has also been re-organizing the parks storage area within the
Public Works building and pre season maintenance of equipment such as weed whips, chain saws, ands
hedge trimmers. The turf mowers will also have maintenance performed so they are ready for the mowing
season.
Other items staff is working on include:
• Inventory supplies and order for the coming season, fertilizer, field chalk, etc;
• Review proposed projects for 2014, prioritize and schedule and secure needed materials;
• Interview candidates for new Public Works Park Maintenance position
Projects
Public Works is gearing up for another very busy project season – below are the 2014 anticipated projects:
Silver View Park:
• Relocate Disc Golf Course: A new 9-hole course is proposed to be constructed in the NW corner of the
park. Involves clearing trees, installing new tees and targets, and removing existing course items and
restoration. 2014 Budget: $25,000 (Park Dedication Fund) – includes $2,000 BBC contribution for
improving disc golf tees (Mar. 2011).
• Reconstruct Trailways: Involves reconstruction of the asphalt trails with an engineering pavement
section and grading/drainage corrections. Will require professional engineering services and
obtaining permanent trailway easements from Scottland Green apartments. 2014 Budget: $200,000
(Spec. Projects Fund).

recommend a 5-foot bike lane and 6-foot concrete sidewalk with barrier curb between.
• County Road H Sidewalk (Silver Lake Road to Edgewood Drive): Public Works is pursuing a Safe Routes
to School (SRTS) grant to cover 80% of construction costs. This is a competitive grant and the

(Spec. Projects Fund).

Forestry
Public Works will be charting a new path after 32 years of forestry expertise by Rick Wriskey ended in
December 2012. Forestry activities were limited during 2013 and Public Works has a plan to increase
activities in 2014 and beyond. Public Works has been unsuccessful in finding another municipality to share a
Public Works Staff Report
3/3
forestry position through a joint powers agreement, and is proposing to contract forestry services to a
consultant for the expertise needed with the tree disease and pest control program and other matters. A
formal proposal is being drafted to present at a City Council meeting in February or March 2014. The 2014
Budget includes $25,000 for forestry consulting services.
MnDNR Grant Update:
The grant program to remove existing ash trees and replant with a new tree on public ways and lands within
a one-mile radius of the Shoreview infestation will be a focus the first part of 2014. Public Works is
proposing to have the forestry consultant assist with this effort.
Tree City USA:
Public Works was recently notified that Mounds View has been approved as a 2013 Tree City USA
community for the 32nd consecutive year!

To: Parks & Recreation & Forestry Commissioners
From: Nick DeBar – Director of Public Works
Date: January 23, 2014
RE: Discuss Disc Golf Course Proposal at Silver View Park
The Commission has been discussing issues with the existing disc golf course at Silver View Park over the
past few months. A major problem with the current layout is the disc golfing traversing and interfering with
other recreation activities at the park, whereby creating encroachments and safety issues related to errant
discs. The current layout has some level of interference with volleyball, basketball, snow sledding,
playground, horse shoes, soccer, hiking, and trail use – all in addition to the environmental impacts to trees
and vegetation, soil erosion of banks and ditches, and littering problems.
At the November Commission meeting, Public Works presented a proposal to reconstructing a new course
in the northwest portion of the park (see attached exhibit). This area is not utilized now and is generally
wooded and level ground, although there may be areas subject to flooding. Locating the course in the
northwest corner will not interfere with any other recreational use in the park. Reconstructing the course
will provide the opportunity to have the start and end of the course be located near the same point. It is
suggested that the horse shoe pits be relocated to the old playground location and have the existing horse
shoe pits be staging for beginning and ending the course. To accomplish this, the course could run up
towards County Road I and loop back to this point.
Public Works has collaborated with Mike Snelson of Fairway Flyers to provide a preliminary layout of the
new course. Mr. Snelson presented the proposed layout at the November meeting and discussed options
for the course. A 9-hole course is being recommended. Recommendations for tee boxes, targets, pathway
material, and tree protection were also discussed.
Attached is an estimate for constructing the proposed layout. The total estimated project cost is $15,174.
This cost can be reduced if volunteers are employed and/or if City equipment and personnel are used (est.
$2,500 - $7,500 savings). The cost also includes a design fee of $1,175 to finalize the course layout and
prepare more exact quantities and construction costs. Completing a final design is the first step toward a
new course and will allow Public Works to discuss who does what with the designer. Public Works is
recommending moving ahead with the design.
