plant which was sent to Jack Shields -- a $1.50 donation
would be appreciated to help contribute to the cost.
Director Anderson briefed the Commission on Jack 's
condition.
Lakeside Park status It was announced that the Lakeside Commission may be
disbanding as of January 1, 1981. Director Anderson
reviewed the present and future issues of the Lakeside
Park Coi,uniss ion.
Commissioner Bowman briefed the Commission of the
position of the Lakeside Park Commission which is con-
sidering disbanding in hopes of emerging a working
administrative body with an advisory board of Commissioner
rather than a commission of laborers . . . which is an
over-burden to Lakeside Park members. It is hoped that
a city or county will take on the responsibility of
operating the Lakeside Park beach facility. Lakeside
Park Commission operates on approximately a $20,000.00
budget. One of the red tape problems is that Lakeside
Park concerns two cities and two counties . Commissioner
Donna Bowman made a motion for Mounds View City Council
to adopt a resolution to be sent to Anoka and Ramsey
Ccunties for the takeover of Lakeside Park. Commissioner
Jerry Linke seconded the motion. Motion passed.

of the park including:

2) Advertising
3) Registration
4) Fee collection
110 C. All financial operations

MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recr-atio ommissioners

Parks, Recreation a �.
- • - •,tr Iep.rtment
DATE : February 25, 1981
RE: Code Revision
As per the attached memos, staff, in conjunction with the Parks and
Recreation Commission, has been directed to review Chapters 23 and 24
of the City Municipal Code. I have attached copies of the chapters in
question for your review and comment.
Staff' s reaction to the Chapters is as follows :
CHAPTER 23
PARK AND RECREATION FUND
23.01 - Establishment - no change.
• 23.02 - Purpose - staff would recommend that the 23.02 should read as
follows:
"There shall be deposited in said fund all cash payments
received by the City pursuant to the provisions of
Chapter 42. 13 of this Code."
Staff recommends deletion of the statement regarding "Federal , State or
City Laws . . . " . We currently establish separate funds or accounts for
each individual park project, i .e. Silver View Park, Edgewood Junior High
School , etc. By establishing separate funds for each project, we are able
to keep a more accurate breakdown as to the status of each account.
23.03 - Use of Fund
Subdivision 1 - Chapter 42. 13 Payments - no change
Subdivision 2 - Other receipts
Staff is not aware of what type of "other receipts" might be credited towards
this fund but I question the use of "other receipts" for the purchase of
•
expendable commodities such as operation and maintenance expenses. Staff' s
position is that all monies credited towards the Parks and Playground Fund should
Code Revision Page 2
• be used for capitol expenditures and/or park improvements rather than
daily operation and maintenance costs .
23.04 - Transfer of Fund - no change.
CHAPTER 24
RECREATION ACTIVITY FUND
24.01 - Establishment - no change.
24.02 - Purpose - Although it may be a mute point, my current position is
referred to as the Director of Parks, Recreation and Forestry, staff has no
feeling as to this title and only shares it as a point of information for
possible future clarification when we review Chapter 51.
• Staff' s second reaction is that the City Council has directed staff to prepare
a joint powers agreement for the future operation and maintenance of Lakeside
Park. It appears that we will be coordinating all swimming lesson instruction,
including fee collection. Does the Parks and Recreation Commission desire that
to be treated as a separate fund or as a part of the Recreation Activity Fund?
24.03 - Use of Fund - Although staff does not currently support the position.
I would be remiss to not discuss the possibility of the Program Supervisor' s salary
being partially or fully paid from this fund. This position is currently
paid for out of the general fund but there has been staff discussion on the
possibility of transferring some funds from the recreation activity to the
general fund or vise-versa.
24.04 - Disbursements - no change
24.05 - Accounting - no change
i24.06 - Transfer of Funds - No change except if the Commission would like to make
modifications as discussed in 24.03.
TO: Mayor & Council

RE: Review of Code, Chapters 23, 24, 25
I have reviewed Chapter 23, Park and Playground Fund and Chapter 24,
Recreation Activity Fund and offer the following for your consideration :
Chapter 23 Park & Playground Fund

Change title to Expenses. Change "All disbursements from
the Fund . . . . " to "All expenses of the Fund . . . . "
24.05 change "receipt" to "revenues" and "expenditures"
to "expenses" .
These are all the comments I have to offer. The Park Board will be
discussing these chapters and the Parks & Recreation Director will advise
illyou of their comments.
Chapter 25 Storm Drainage Management Fund
I have no comments from a financial standpoint. The
Building and Zoning Official will provide you with comments

MEMO TO: Mous. v e e •arks and Recreation Commissioners
FROM: Sta ' fl
DATE: Februar 25 , 1981
SUBJECT: SILVER VIEW PARK UPDATE
Silver View Park has finally been purchased in its entirety when
we delivered a check for $136 , 500 to Kraus/Anderson on February 15 ,
1981 . With the passing of this check we culminated two years of
effort by staff, Commission and Council to acquire the existing
51. 6 acres of park land.
Now that the acquisition is completed we have immersed ourselves
in the process of site development. Staff has met twice with
Gary Tushie to review the programming expectations for Silver View
and will be meeting on Thursday, February 26 , 1981 to review some
preliminary design concepts . We will be completing some blob
studies for the Commission to review in mid-March which may
necessitate a special meeting.
I have also enclosed a staff report from Finance Director Brager
which clearly defines and outlines the status of the Silver View
Park fund.
As can be noted through wise investments of funds, Finance
Director Brager has received approximately $9 , 400 in interest.
In addition to the $10, 000 excess budgeted in revenue sharing
for the City' s share, we should be able to bring this project
under budget for Phase One.
Should you have any questions relating to the budgetary status of
the Silver View Park account or the preliminary design steps,
feel free to give staff a call at 784-3055 , Ext. 41.

FROM: Don Brager, Finance Director-Treasurer
• DATE: February 23, 1981
RE: Silver View Park Fund
In response to your request of February 23, 1981 for an itemized accounting of
Fund 468 - Silver View Park , I have attached Statements of Revenues and Expenses
for the years ended December 31, 1979 and December 31 , 1980 and Balance Sheets
for the years ended December 31 , 1979 and December 31 , 1980. The fund was
established in 1979 with the receipt of State of Minnesota grant funds totaling
$60 ,475.00 for acquisition and development of Silver View Park. Our auditors
recorded the federal share due the City as a revenue of $60 ,475.00 in 1979.
Since we did not receive the money as of December 31 , 1979 the federal share of
the grant, $60 ,475.00 , was recorded on the Balance Sheet for the year ended
December 31 , 1979 as an Account Receivable. Interest earned in 1979 amounted
to $1,894.02. During 1980 interest earned amounted to $7 ,503.65. Total interest
earned during 1979 and 1980 was $9 ,397.67. The federal share of the grant was
not received during 1980 and remains as an Account Receivable on the Balance
Sheet for the year ended December 31 , 1980. At the September 8, 1980 Regular
Council Meeting a transfer from General Fund contingency of $2,550.00 to the
Silver View Park Fund was authorized to help pay the cost of engineering studies .
Total 1980 Revenues are thus $10 ,869.61. Expenses during 1980 were $490.00 for
legal expenses and $1 ,311. 56 for an engineering feasibility study. Total 1980
expenses for the year ended December 31, 1980 were $1 ,801.56 (see attached
Statement of Revenues and Expenses for the Year Ended December 31 , 1980) .
Additionally you inquired as to which accounts were charged when check Number
• 17165 payable to M & E Realty in the amount of $136,500.00 was recently issued.
This check was issued pursuant to Council directive given at the February 9 , 1981
Regular Meeting. The local share of $34,125.00 was charged to Revenue Sharing
Fund Account 200-120-4701 due to the fact that the local share for acquisition
and development had been budgeted in 1978 and 1979 respectively. The balance
of the check , $102,375.00 was charged to Silver View Park Fund Account 468-120-4701 ,
causing a temporary deficit in the fund until the federal share for acquisition
and development is received. At the time the check was issued sufficient funds
were on hand in our checking account to cover the check.
Should you have any questions do not hesitate to call me at 784-3055 extension 39.

TO: MOUNDS VIEW PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSIONERS
. FROM: STAFF
DATE: FEBRUARY 25 , 1981
RE: SPECIAL MEETING WITH CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING COMMISSION
As staff briefly mentioned in the two cover letters for the
Commissioners ' packets , the Planning Commission and City
Council have requested a special meeting with you to review
the City-Wide Park System Master Plan.
Staff made a presentation before the Planning Commission as
per the Park and Recreation Commission directions on Wednesday,
February 4 , 1981. A copy of the Planning Commission minutes
is enclosed for your review. As can be noted there were
four specific comments and/or concerns raised by the
Planning Commission. Staff responded to each of the questions
to the best of his ability and the meeting drew to a close
with no action taken by the Planning Commission.
The Planning Commission then met at an agenda session on
February 18 , 1981 at which time they directed staff to set up
a joint meeting with the Parks and Recreation Commission.
The specific issues that the Planning Commission would like
to discuss are :
410 1. What should be included in the City-Wide Comprehen-
sive Plan regarding future park improvement?
2 . Should the Park Plan be included as part of the City-
Wide Comprehensive Plan?
3. How and to what degree should we include the proposed
implementation chapter (Chapter 4 - Guide to Action)
of the plan in the City-Wide Comprehensive Plan?
4 . Does the fact that the Park Referendum failed have
any bearing on the plan itself?
5. Does the plan accurately and fairly represent and/or
reflect the public ' s and/or Mounds View residents '
positions .
Staff will be reviewing and updating the Commission on any
further questions being raised as they surface . Staff would
recommend that each Commissioner bring along a copy of their
Comprehensive Plan for easy referral and reference.

for year round use. Director Anderson stated he
would like to see this Master Plan attached or
included with the Mounds View Comprehensive Plan.
Comments from the Commissioners:
Miller-She would like to see the cost of the
plan scaled down.
Warren-She asked if this Master Plan was
included, in detail, with the Comprehensive
Plan, would the city be locked into it?
(Anderson replied that this park Master Plan,
as with the other material in the Comprehensive .
Plan, were to be utilized as "guidelines" rather
411than specific commitments.)
Loeding-Since the referendum was not passed by
the voters, he didn' t think it should be included
in the Comprehensive Plan.
Glazer-He asked Director Anderson to clarify
that Mounds View is approximately 10 acres short
of federal standards for park land, approximately
26 acres of the designated park land is actually
school playgrounds, and that Arden Park, Green-
field, and Silverview parks include approximately
50% of the open space park lands in Mounds View.
Chairperson Mountin directed staff to provide at the
next agenda meeting some direction of the acceptability
of inclusion of the park plan with the Met Council.
Mrs. Bonin stated that when the road was installed near 6. Minor Subdivision
their property at Pleasantview Drive, she and her
family decided they wanted more privacy and they moved (1 lot into 2)
out to East Bethel where theyhave 8380aPleasant View Drive
presided the last Case 72-81

lot located at 8380 Pleasant View Drive to create two
lots (one being 80. 55' wide, the other being 95.62' wide) .

MEMO TO: Mr. Donald F. Pauley, City Admin;istrit r
FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Director , ,Parks , Recreation and Forestry� .1
DATE: February 19, 1981
RE: Monthly Report, January, 1981
After reviewing our departments work schedule for the month of January, 1981,
we would like to report the following department highlights for your edification :
Recreation
Winter skating is the major activity during the month of January as we supervise
five rink locations on a 31 hours/week schedule. In addition to supervising the
warming houses we provided skating lessons at three sites with 38 children par-
ticipating. The Mounds View skating program has always been deficient in relation-
ship to surrounding communities due to three major factors :
1. Ice quality is not as high due to a greatly understaffed Public
Works Department.
2. The warming houses are in extremely poor physical condition due
to age and general abuse.
3. The pay for our warming house attendants is generally 10 - 20%
below surrounding communities and does not even meet minimum wage.
When I asked Program Supervisor Kvalheim what she felt was the greatest problem in
relationship to the skating program she responded:
"The greatest problem I foresee in the skating program is the lack
of a good, sound, leisure family skating atmosphere. The attitudes
and behaviors of skating participants , especially the young teen-
agers, seems to be one of disrespect and rudeness . a very
difficult problem to control both in terms of punishment and control .
Rink attendants either have the choice of grinning to bear it or try
to control the abusive behavior of troublemakers. This action is
so difficult because , as is well known, rink attendants cannot physical-
ly manhandle persons , and to file a conduct report is a rather non-
threatening gesture in the eyes of the troublemaker. "
Although staff is outlining some of the negative aspects of the skating program,
it must be remembered that there were over 12,000 skaters during our abbreviated
nine week season.
In addition to the skating program, a full slate of recreation activities were
scheduled during January including 17 swimmingclasses, and 53general
programs . recreation
Parks and Recreation monthly report Page 2 ‘) .
A brief highlight of two of these programs is as follows:
Snoball Tournament •
The first snoball tournament was held the weekend of January 31 and February 1 .
Five men's teams and four co-rec teams participated. The events ran smoothly
even without the intended snow. Mrs. Jaycees sold concessions at City Hall .
The Championship games were held Sunday. The tournament is easily run with no
need for maintenance of fields . The participants seemed to enjoy the challenge
and to pioneer the cold and snow (on Sunday) . Snow definitely is an enhancing
factor and hopefully in years to come this activity will include lots of nice,
soft, fluffy snow.
The low entry fee of $35.00/team covered all costs of the tournament.
Gadabouts
The monthly January Gadabout trip was to the General Mills Betty Crocker Kitchens,
Byerly's store and gift shops and 50th and France mall . The trip included Shoreview
registrations and the total number of participants was 45, the maximum. Since
Mounds View and Shoreview Cities have combined Gadabout trips , the program has grown
in interest. With over five years of nurturing, the trips now fill to capacity, with
few or no trip cancellations, which in turn keeps the prices lower due to greater
group discounts .
S
Park Development
There were three major issues that took place in our park development program:
1 . Finalization and approval by the Parks and Recreation Commission
of the City Wide Parks and Open Space Plan.
2. Silver View Park land acquisition was finalized.
3. The City Council approved the hiring of Saunders/Thalden
and Associates for the ititial site planning of Silver View
Perk.
Fo.r��aj.•�,u
Our Forestry program suffered a major loss in January with the passing of
Mr. Jack Shields as our Forester on December 31, 1981. Staff prepared a memo
for the Council 's review regarding the future status of this position and we
are presently awaiting their reply.
• . Parks and Recreation monthly report Page 3
Clerical
The clerical aspect of our department is always busy with January being no
exception. In addition to Sandy's regular typing of memos, league schedules ,
Commission packets , and bulk mailings , we completed six program flyers , rough
copy for the February newsletter, and program registrations .
Sandy has been a major asset as she brings to the department a variety of
artistic skills from basic sketches , to art layout.
Summary: The month of January could be summarized as an active "doing"
month . Because of the busy program schedule, the majority of
our staff time was spent accomplishing or actually completing
tasks rather than planning them.
