Subject: Mitigation at Woodcrest Park
Date: August 19, 1998
Woodcrest Park has been selected as a potential site for mitigation of wetland area at the
Community Center parking site. SEH engineers are preparing a report for Rice Creek Watershed
to propose mitigation of wetland to Woodcrest Park. The report of American Engineering which
was performed at Woodcrest Park several years ago is information used for this report. As I
understand it, the western part of the park (where currently is located the parking lot, play
structure and park building) will become wetland. There will be a plan developed for the
redevelopment options at Woodcrest Park which would include moving the previously mentioned
amentities to the eastern part of Woodcrest Park. Years ago during the redevelopment of the
park, these amenities were relocated from the eastern part of the park to the western side because
residents complained about the noise and trespassing that occurred as a result of park activities.
A public hearing will be required for the proposed changes. I think that the Commission should
discuss possible options for Woodcrest Park in the occasion that changes must be made.
I do not have any of the plans from SEH at the time that this packet is mailed to you. However, I
anticipate that I will have plans and information to give to you for your review at the meeting.

Dear Parks and Recreation Commissioners:
It's August and we are scheduled for our regular meeting Tlrursday, August 27, 1998 beginning
at 6:30 p. im at City Hall, Coil Room C. The big item on the agenda is in regards to Woodcrest
Park. There is a need to find a location for wetland mitigation at the Community Center property
to allow adequate parking. While several locations were considered for the mitigation,
Woodcrest Park seems to be the best location. SEH engineers are currently working on a plan for
this project because it must be submitted to Rice Creek Watership by August 25. I will have
information and plans to you regarding the changes that would possibly be made at Woodcrest
Park in the event Woodcrest is the actual mitigation site.
If you are unable to attend the meeting please call and notify me at 717-4041. Thank -you.
Sincerely,
Mary Saarion, Director

MEMO
To: Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Mary Saarion
Subject: Community Center Update
Date: August 19, 1998
Request for proposals for Community Center Management were advertised with the deadline of
August 2, 1998. Three proposals were received by Administrator Whiting, but it is my
understanding that they have not been opened to date. Administrator Whiting will be returning
from his honeymoon Wednesday, August 26 so perhaps I will have more information to bring to
you regarding the proposal at the meeting. It is anticipated that an appointed group will be
reviewing these proposals. Representation by the Parks and Recreation Commission has been
suggested to be Chair Silvis and Council representative suggestion to be Council Member Gunn.
City Administrator Whiting and Finance Director Kessel will most probably represent Staff.
If you have any concerns, suggestions or ideas regarding management of the Community Center,
please feel free to give your input at the meeting.
The Community Center time line seems to be on track. Community Education classes will begin
in that section of the building September 8. The saga of the basketball goals is continueing as the
extension of the door width to accomodate the portables is costly because it requires a change -
order. Public Works Director Ulrich is handling all change -orders and purchasing. Several
catalogue options for both portable and ceiling installed goals have been provided for
consideration. I have made clear that it is important that goals are able to vary heights and must
be installed so that they do not get in the way of volleyball competition (air space).
The City Council approved the bid for chairs, tables, etc. for the interior of the building. They
went for the "ball of wax" which will be a great asset to the aesthetics and marketing of the
banquet room in particular.
The new St. Paul area white pages have been distributed and with it is the ad for the Community
Center banquet room. I have received several calls regarding banquet rental information.
However, because the management, marketing, etc. of the building has not been determined yet,
we do not have answers to all the questions that people have ie. Catering options, beverage
options, rules and regulations and policies ie. For decorating, hours of operations, kinds of
activity ( ie. I have had a California concert booker asking to rent the facility for Memorial
Weekend, 4th of July and Labor Day weekend of next year for pre -sold ticket concerts). These
and other decisions will need to be made soon so that we do not miss out on rental revenues.
MEMO
To: Parks and Recreation Commissioners
From: Mary Saarion
Subject: Fall Program Update - 1998
Date: August 19, 1998
Fall programs and activities have been completed. City Newsletter is scheduled to be distributed
to residences in Mounds View the last weekend of August. Activities include afterschool
activities, school days out activities, Fall Swimming lessons, Senior Citizen activities, youth and
adult sports and athletics, special events and trips, adapted recreation programs (a partnership
with other departments), and community activities happening here and in neighboring cities.
It is staff's delight to think that we will be able to program activities out of the Community
Center for Winter season. The real enjoyable part will be programming activities during the week
day for especially senior citizens and pre-schoolers. Whereas we didn't have a facility to program
out of before, now we have a beautiful facility to offer activities and programs.
A City resident named Theresa Wilts has been volunteering Tuesday and Thursday mornings for
the Parks and Recreation Department. Theresa is a citizen of Canada and is here with her
husband for a 6 year stint at his work in computers. Theresa, without a green card, cannot work -
but is very capable and willing to provide volunteer services. She is very energetic and
personable. She is a great customer service person and seems willing to do most anything. I have
been trying to give her "enjoyable" tasks such as planning trips for seniors. She looks forward to
working with senior citizens at the Community Center - which is really fortunate for Mounds
View!
The Super Quad Rink is scheduled to open in October of this year. Many skating programs will
be offered to the communities of the area by the Sports Commission staff. Look for more
information regarding these opportunities. There is some negotiation going on between the Sports
Commission and Irondale and Mounds View Hockey Associations regarding times for hockey
practices and games. I trust that the differences will be resolved as the initiation season of the
rink operations and programming provide a learning experience for all participating agencies.
Lakeside Park beach operations went very good this summer with good water duality and lots of
park users. There were no accidents, few closed dates and pretty good swimming weather: The
introduction of a Junior Lifeguard program seemed to work Lakeside to assist on occasions when
only one lifeguard is scheduled or on duty. Unplanned costs were damage ( as a result of early
summer storms) incurred by the small "library" building's electrical shaft which required a $800
electrical repair. Also, recently a car ran into a street sign and park cyclone fence with an
estimated repair cost of $400.
s
® That are the benefits?
O This summer, over 300 community youth/teens were off the streets and at recreational
facilities participating in summer recreation programs.
O Over 140 children of the community learned to become more safe in the water
because they took swimming lessons.
O Seventy-four children of the community are riding their bikes more safely because
they received free bicycle helment at the Bicycle Safety Clinic.
O Four Sunday evenings during the month of June, over 360 family members of the
community enjoyed music entertainment at Lakeside Park at no expense to the tax
• payer because the entertainment was funded by Medtronic Corporation and Irondale
Hockey Association.
O Over 30 youth of the community between the ages of 14 - 22 were employed as
recreation leaders during the summer - offering mentorship to youth of the community.
rF
O Fifty senior citizens saved car insurance money because they participated in the
55 -Alive Defensive Driving Program which saves them up to 10% off their insurance.
O Fifteen residents of the community reaped the benefits of garden vegetables and
flowers at Woodcrest Park Community Gardens.
O Tree damaged debris was picked up curbside throughout the City twice during this
summer as a result of two damaging storms that passed through Mounds View in an
effort to assist residents with their property tree damage burdens.
O Picnic shelters throughout the City served over 180 families or groups for parties/
+I family gatherings, averaging 3 reserved picnics per week per facility.
O Community athletic fields served over 5 athletic association programs as well as
in-house city sponsored athletic programs - which means that lots of people are out in
the parks exercising and enjoying the social aspect of team sports during the summer
in Mounds View.

MEMO
To: Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Mary Saarion
Subject: Park Improvements Report
Date: August 19, 1998
This Fall the City Hall large athletic field has been closed for improvements. The infield edge will
be cut, infield aggregate replaced and leveled. In addition, Hillview Park athletic field infield will
be crowned and additional aggregate installed for better drainage. This work should improve the
drainage of both fields which really helps keep the fields in use after rains.
In addition, staff is receiving cost estimates for sealing Silver View Park asphalt trail and for re-
surfacing the hard court. Both surfaces need recoating for continued preventative maintenance
and upkeep.
In addition, a bid has been received for a new park truck to replace the 3/4 ton. Boyer Ford is the
only bid received. The bid is basically the state bid for 3/4 ton trucks. There were not enough die
casts for 3/4 ton trucks this year - the state chose to make '/2 tons instead and it has been difficult
to find a supplier. The bid is well within budget so it is anticipated that City Council will approve
the purchase.
City Hall soccer field has been moved from along Hwy 10 to the area which overlays the youth
athletic field north of City Hall.
All but one summer seasonal parks maintenance employee will be reporting back to school by
September 2. It is during this period that parks maintenance staff is spread thin with the need to
continue grass mowing, daily athletic field grooming, and other daily tasks as well as continue
repairs and improvement projects.

Subject: Sponsorship amount for 1998-99 season of IBA
Date: August 19, 1998
Just thought I would keep you all informed as to our monetary commitment to the 1998-99
season of Irondale Basketball Association activities. I reviewed and submitted times to
Community Education for subsidization of about the same amount of time as last year's IBA
request, trusting that the costs will be within our budget. This equates to approximately $5,750
worth of subsidization depending upon the percentage of cost which increases and decreases
depending upon multiple users of school facilities at a given time. This is always the unknown
factor making budgeting and time commitment very "iffy" for both the city as a sponsoring agent
and for IBA in their determination of fees that will pay for school use costs over and above those
subsidized by the city. The 1999 department budget request for 1999 is $9,600 for all school use
fees for the entire year for all programs. IBA subsidization constitutes more than half of this
amount. Any additional time that is not subsidized by IBA will need to be paid by the association
with registration fees. I have spoken with Deb Verdoorn and she is comfortable with the city's
commitment.

Dear Jill:
Phone: (612) 717-4000
Fax: (612) 784-3462
I have reveiwed the following requests for sponsorship of IBA school use and have also spoken
with Deb Verdoorn, scheduling volunteer. She has indicated that the times (as modified) are
similar to the times requested last year. I estimate that I would have enough money in the budget
to pay for the time that I am submitting (as modified). However, any additional time will be over
the budget. Therefore, please enter the enclosed times in the facility scheduler, but please do not
add additional requests that IBA may ask for during the season under the City of Mounds View's
sponsorship. Those additional times can simply not be afforded with the budget that we currently
have.
If you have any questions, please call me at 717-4041. Thanks for all your help.
Sincerely,

Subject: Softball damage claim to car on Cty Rd I
Date: August 19, 1998
A damage claim was submitted to the League of Minnesota Insurance Trust for damages to a
man's car as he drove by Silver View Park on County Road I. The hood of the car was hit by a
softball making a dent. The claim was sent to the insurance providers for the City - League of
MN Insurance Trust. After investigation, the city was notified that they did not determine the
City as liable and therefore refused the claim. The gentleman is continuing to pursue damage
payment from the City. It is speculated that the man will attend the City Council meeting on
Monday, August 24 to discuss the incident and seek damage payment. I will keep you informed
of this matter.

The above captioned claim involves the incident whereby your vehicle was apparently struck by a
softball from Silver View Park as you were traveling eastbound on County Road I. The League
of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust provides insurance coverage for the city of Mounds View
and handled the investigation of this matter.
According to our investigation, the total distance from home plate to the left field fence is
approximately 305 feet. Additionally, there is approximately 40 feet from the home run fence to
the eastbound lane on County Road I. Thus, the distance from home plate to your lane of travel
was approximately 345 feet. The home run fence surrounding the outfield is 10 feet high. The
distance of this field and the height of the fence are more than adequate to reasonably keep balls
from flying onto County Road I. These distances are also well within standard measurements for
softball fields. Additionally, there has not been any history of problems with balls from this field
flying onto County Road I and causing damage to vehicles passing by.
Therefore, I fail to find any evidence of negligence on the part of the city of Mounds View for
your claimed damages, and I must respectfully decline any payment to you. Thanks for your
cooperation on this matter.
Sincerely,
Brian Horsch
