It' s already time for another regular Parks and Recreation Commission meeting - to be held Thursday, August 24 at 6: 30 p.m at City Hall. Summer activities are winding down and Fall activities are beginning. Summer seasonal staff are finishing up their activities, most leaving the Friday before Labor Day weekend. The City Council will be discussing further the issues of removing playground equipment and opting for replacement of playground equipment using contingency funds. In addition, they • will be discussing immediate implementation of the tree planting plan for Silver View rather than a phased-in approach. The pedestrian bridge is still an issue which will be further discussed at the September 5 work session. Staff will update you on department activities. Staff will also be ready for direction from the Commission regarding issues of the day. If you are unable to attend the meeting please call me at 784- 0618 . I look forward to re-grouping with you after the hectic summer.

RAMSEY COUNTY PRESENTATION: Jim Theurer from Ramsey County presented the results of the Vision 2000 project regarding the issues of Parks and Open Space. The visions for the future were shared with printed materials. A • questionnaire was distributed, completed and returned to Jim which asked for the Commissioners views on the proposed vision as well as logged demographic information. PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT: Director Saarion, at the request of Councilmember Trude brought to the Commission the issue of playground equipment that has been deemed as potentially dangerous to children. An article printed both in the papers as well as the League of Cities magazine was reviewed. After discussion regarding the issue of taking out the equipment or keeping them in, the Commission agreed to the following recommendation. Commission Starr made a motion to recommend to the City Council removal of the playground equipment in question as replacement funds are available for replacement playground equipment. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Long. The motion was unanimously approved. PED. BRIDGE: The Commission inquired about the pedestrian bridge. Staff informed the Commission that the City Council had requested the City Administrator • to obtain an opinion from the City Attorney' s office regarding the use of TIF funds for this project. A letter had been received which stated the opinion that this project is within the uses of TIF funding. The Commissioners discussed the • issues with the conclusion that they would need to attend future Work Sessions and attempt to inform the public about this issue. Pam Starr wrote a letter for the papers as well as prepared a letter which she and her daughters mailed to members of the community that would benefit from the Pedestrian Bridge. Commissioners requested staff to look into other cities ' uses of TIF funds for projects. OTHER BUSINESS: Commissioners requested the City Council to advertise for the void in Commission seats which is up since Edd Trettel resigned.

Adam has been working with the Parks crew, under Steve Dazenski ' s excellent supervision for over a year through the JPTA program. Adam is a Mounds View resident and student in the school district. He will concentrate on graduating and then pursue mechanics work. * This week the Parks crew has been working on many washouts as a result of the heavy rains received over the weekend. Washout locations included Greenfield park pathway and the entrance to the parking lot off Woodcrest Drive at Woodcrest Park. * Next week will be the last week for two other Parks workers including Joe Quick who will be returning to college in Iowa, and Bill Urbanski who will be reporting to teachers • preparation days - starting another year of teaching in the White Bear School system. Both workers have been excellent contributions to park maintenance activities. We wish them a good year and hopes that they will return to Parks work again next summer. RECREATION * Sharie chaperoned a successful extended trip to LaCrosse, MN. All enjoyed the adventure and everything went according to plan. * This week began Adult Fall Softball leagues Monday through Thursday evenings. In addition, there is a growing demand for ballfield use through Fall baseball programs and Fall fastpitch programs, of which the City is facilitating two leagues with ballfields. The ballfields continue to have high demand use now extending to the end of October. * Fall recreation programs are being finalized. Information for the City Newsletter is due this week. It is expected that the Newsletter will be distributed to homes the first week of September. Programs generally begin mid to end of September. - * Through the Community Oriented Policing Committee, a • Community Halloween Bonfire is being organized and planned as a family activity on October 31. More information to be provided later. �3, aaq FORESTRY * The Forestry crew has continued to work at each park trimming trees and landscaping. In addition, much time was spent at Silver View Park trimming the parking lot island and surrounding trees. * Chipping trees in preparation for Autumn and Winter months will begin after necessary trimwork is completed. GOLF COURSE * Staff has met with several firms that program and sell cash register systems for golf courses. Of particular interest is cash registers that are fast and easy to learn and operate and yet provides information necessary for the auditors. I have called many golf courses for references on their systems. Kitty, Brus and I have met with several companies in search of the best system. The current system is too undependable - having two crashes due to electrical failures, program software glitches and slow transaction time. It is also too complicated a process. It is not paid for, still under trial operations. We plan to return the system and look into other options. * A time clock has also been ordered and will be installed early next week for both Clubhouse staff and Golf Course • Maintenance staff. The time clock system should simplify the computation of time sheets for the golf course staff. * The protective netting has been installed along the second hole. It hopefully will take care of the problems with stray balls into the trucking company parking lot. * Bridgco has done some work on the boardwalk. Unfortunately Bridgco workers had a terrible attack from hornets as they came into contact with a hornets nest. They will only return after the hornets nest has been removed. CABLE TV * Cindy has been working on enhancements to the Community Bulletin Board which lists information on the Cable TV channel in-between programs. She really does a nice job. * Cindy completed the August "A View From the Mound" including an interview with Richard Meyers as the special interest guest, introduction to new employee, Dawn, and legislative update with Representative Dick Fellow. • RAMSEY COUNTY PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA AUGUST 8,.1995,6:00 P.M.

BATTLE.CREEK REGIONAL PARK UPPER AFTON ROAD AND MCKNIGHT ROAD MAPLEWOOD,MINNESOTA DOME SH NITER The regular meeting of the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Commission was called to order by Chairman Nolan at 6:00 p.m. in the Dome Shelter at Battle Creek Regional Park, Maplewood, Minnesota. Members Present: Marge Anderson, Lydia Crawford, Linda Ford, Janey Gohl, Mark Nolan and Al Singer *Members Absent: Gary Botzek Guest: Toni Baker,Assistant to Commissioner Warren Schaber Staff Present: Greg Mack, Larry Holmberg and Cheryl Myran APPROVAL OF AGENDA Chairman Nolan requested that the agenda be amended to include discussion about the future disposition of the county's work farm property and the Commission's annual report to the Ramsey County Board and asked for a motion to approve the amended agenda. Psis. Ford moved, seconded by Mr. Singer, that the agenda be approved as amended. Motion carried. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Chairman Nolan asked for a motion to approve the minutes. Ms. Crawford moved, seconded by Ms. Ford, that the minutes of the June 13, 1995, meeting be approved as mailed. Motion carried. BOUNDARY CONTROL POLICIES FOR RAMSEY COUNTY PARKS AND OPEN SPACE •Mr. Mack distributed copies and gave an overview of his memo to the Parks and Recreation Commission (attached to official minutes) entitled, "Boundary Control Policies for Ramsey County 1 Parks and Open Space," and supporting documentation which included a memo to Mr. Mack and a spreadsheet on encroachment from Mr. David Sipila, Ramsey County's Right-of-Way Specialist; a copy of the park ordinance; and a June 22, 1995, news release entitled, "County park boundaries to b. marked." Mr. Mack reported that the Ramsey County parks and open space system has over 125 miles of boundary. Of this distance, approximately half abuts property other than roadway or lakeshore. He noted that the effect of allowing adjoining property owners to encroach on parkland would be significant if it were to occur on a system-wide basis. For example, a five-foot average encroachment will impact over 37 acres if extended across the system as a whole. He reported that the department's goal in boundary control is: To establish a mutual respect for the property boundary along the lands under its control and to preserve these properties for the benefit of all residents of the county. In keeping with this goal, the department has uniformly applied the following boundary control policy: Lands under management and control of the Parks and Recreation Department have been acquired to protect natural resources and provide outdoor recreational opportunities for the citizens of Ramsey County. The department will respect the rights of adjoining property owners by not encroaching on private properties. Encroachments by adjoining property owners onto parks and open space lands represent a private assumption of rights inconsistent with the intended public purpose for which these lands were acquired Accordingly, encroachments by adjoining property owners onto county parks and open space land will not be permitted or allowed Ms. Anderson stated that she feels the county should be sympathetic to property owners who have become unauthorized caretakers of adjoining county property. Mr. Singer stated that the county should be diplomatic but handle all encroachments in the same manner. Mr. Holmberg indicated that for every property owner that encroaches, there are two or three property owners who are concerned about the encroachment by others. Chairman Nolan suggested that letters of contact be sent to the adjoining property owners who are encroaching indicating the magnitude of the problem and the county-wide significance. Ms. Baker said the District 1 Community Council will be discussing this issue at a meeting scheduled for July 17 at the Conway Recreation Center. Ms. Ford moved, seconded by Ms. Crawford, that the Commission is in concurrence with the above boundary control policy and recommends that the county pursue enforcement without exception. Motion carried. MOWING PRACTICES WITHIN RAMSEY COUNTY PARKS AND OPEN SPACE Mr. Mack distributed copies and gave an overview of his memo to the Parks and Recreation Commission (attached to the official minutes) entitled, "Mowing Practices," and attachments which included a letter and petition to Commissioner Warren Schaber, and a letter to Mr. Mack from Mr. Rick Duffy, Outdoor Education Supervisor, Tamarack Nature Center. Mr. Mack said his memo relates to mowing, in general, in parks and adjacent properties. He reported that the following mowing practice is being applied throughout the county's parks and open space system: • 2 Ramsey County Parks and Recreation Department is responsible for management of over 5,800 acres of park and open space land. Turf areas within the system are • maintained to support their intended use and function. Accordingly, turf areas are mowed under the following circumstances. The frequency of mowing varies depending on the intensity of use (e.g. golf greens may be mowed daily,picnic areas weekly and road shoulders bi-weekly). 1) Designated active use areas will be mowed on a regular schedule. At smaller county parks, mowing patterns may encompass the entire park, where in large county and regional parks, specific active recreational use areas are designated by master plan. Selective portions of active recreation areas within regional parks may be left unmowed to enhance the natural qualities. 2) Mowing of turf areas adjacent to certain trails and along roadways may be appropriate for safety reasons in order to maintain adequate sight distances. 3) Periodic mowing may be necessary as a natural resource management technique to eliminate undesirable intrusion by woody plants and noxious weeds or to promote a healthier stand of grasses. Mr. Singer moved, seconded by Ms. Ford, that the Commission recommend that the Parks and Recreation Department continue the mowing practice defined above and communicate this practice to adjacent property owners that may be affected by its implementation. Further, the Commission recommended that specific criteria be established to guide mowing decisions within active use areas of the parks. Motion carried. ADOPT-A-PARK PROGRAM (CORPORATE AND CIVIC GROUP ACTIVITY) This item will be included on the agenda for the August 8 meeting. DEER POPULATION CONTROL WITHIN RAMSEY COUNTY PARKS AND OPEN SPACE Chairman Nolan reported that Mr. Mack and Ms. Ford discussed this issue. The county has agreed to cooperate with the Department of Natural Resources and White Bear Township in conducting a deer count in order to assess the magnitude of the deer population problem. Upon completion of the counts (winter 1995-96), a plan can be formulated to achieve desired goals. FUTURE DISPOSITION OF RAMSEY COUNTY WORK FARM, BOYS' TOTEM TOWN AND LAKE OWASSO RESIDENCE PROPERTIES Chairman Nolan said that he understands that different uses are being explored for portions of the county's work farm (adult correctional facility) property. Ms. Baker said the work farm is located between Upper and Lower Afton roads, east of Battle Creek Regional Park, on approximately 160 acres. The county owns an additional 100 acres south of Lower Afton Road. A law enforcement di training facility is located at Linwood and Century avenues; however, the size of this facility is inadequate. A proposal exists for a joint law enforcement training facility with the city of St. Paul, Washington County and Ramsey County. 3 Mr. Mack said that staff of the work farm are considering a proposal to establish a tree nursery to replace the current livestock operation. Trees would be provided exclusively for Ramsey County and the municipalities within the county. It is believed that a tree farm would provide transferable skills• for the inmates. The Parks and Recreation Department would have potential use for 5,000 trees per year. Mr. Mack said originally the work farm was owned by the city of St. Paul. When the county became involved, there was an agreement that stated if the work farm ceased to operate, the property would become parks and open space. This agreement was rescinded when the county and the city reached agreement on the City Hall/Court House renovation. The master plan for Battle Creek Regional Park, as adopted in 1981, identifies the work farm property as a potential future addition and suggests that the site would be suitable for a golf course. Chairman Nolan stated that since this property was previously identified as future parks and open space, primary consideration should be given to converting it to parks and open space if the work farm ceases to exist at that site or portions of the property are declared surplus. Ms. Baker indicated that the Boys'Totem Town property was also included in the former agreement between the city and county and had carried a reversionary clause to parks and open space if the use changed. Mr. Mack said that the Lake Owasso Residence is nearly adjacent to Lake Owasso County Park and if the present use ceases, serious consideration should be given to incorporating it into the parks and open space system. Ms. Baker said the County Board adopted a resolution supporting the closure of the Lake Owasso Residence, pending State approval and satisfactory placement of clients. Mr. Singer moved, seconded by Ms.Anderson, that Chairman Nolan send a letter to the • Ramsey County Board of Commissioners requesting that the Parks and Recreation Commission be given the opportunity to fully participate in discussions regarding the future disposition of the Ramsey County Work Farm (Adult Detention Center), Boys' Totem Town and Lake Owasso Residence properties. Motion carried. ANNUAL REPORT It was decided that the format from past annual reports be used. The report will be presented to the County Board on September 19. Mr. Singer agreed to provide a list of significant actions from the past year's meeting minutes. Overviews will be provided as follows: Legislative issues: Ms. Gohl and Mr. Botzek Capital funding: Ms. Gohl and Mr. Botzek Trails/bikeways: Ms. Crawford Review of County park system plan (final draft will accompany report): Chairman Nolan Conclusion: Ms. Ford DIRECTOR'S REPORT Mr. Mack reported that Island Lake Golf Course is scheduled to open in August. Clubhouse construction is underway but will not be completed until early fall. The driving range is open. The Snail Lake beach building plans were approved by the Shoreview City Council on July 5, 1995. • 4 The White Bear Lake City Council is considering the plans for the White Bear beach building tonight. • REPORTS FROM CHAIRMAN AND OTHER COMMISSION MEMBERS None OTHER BUSINESS Ms. Gohl suggested the August meeting be held at one of the parks. Ms. Myran will check availability of shelters. ADJOURNMENT Upon appropriate motion, the meeting adjourned at 7:50 p.m. Cheryl Myran 411 UPCOMING PUBLIC WORKSIPARKS &RECREATION/ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES COMMITTEE MEETINGS, COUNCIL CHAMBERS, COURTHOUSE September 5, 1995 110 5 Letter to the Editor: SUPPORT THE PROPOSED PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE IN MOUNDSVIEW The City Council of Mounds View is currently discussing a proposed pedestrian bridge over Highway 10 at Long Lake Road. This would be a community development that would benefit citizens of all ages, from Youth to Senior Citizens, from joggers to bicyclst's, anyone who would like to cross Highway 10 in any mode other than an automobile. This is an enhancement to the community that we can not afford to let pass by, especially since we have a$480,000 grant to cover the majority of the cost. The City Council is hesitant to use funds set aside for community development, because they are not sure this would help the community??? The city would need to contribute $120,000 to fulfill their portion of the grant requirements. The city has a fund set aside for community developement, call TIF. NO TAX DOLLARS ARE NEEDED. Please show your support for the Pedestrian Bridge by letting the City Council know that this is a community enhancement that is badly needed. Each year, there are several dangerous mishaps as people try to cross Highway 10 on foot or bicycle. Talk to council members, phone them, write them letters or even better, come to the City Council Meeting on August 7th to voice your opinion for the Pedestrian Bridge.

The project(s) you submitted listed below was not approved for funding in this solicitation. Silver Lake Road Trailway Attached is a summary of the projects selected for funding in each program area. A total of 59 projects were submitted. All projects were reviewed to determine if the qualifying criteria were met. A few projects were rejected for failing to meet these criteria. The remainder were reviewed and scored by subcommittees of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAB and the Metropolitan Council have concurred with these selections. Through this process, federal funding for the Enhancement Program is complete through 1999. The next regional solicitation for several project categories will occur this Fall, however, specific dates have not been determined. Projects previously submitted and prioritized but not funded must be resubmitted in order to be considered. If you have any questions please contact Mr. Emil Brandt, Transportation Coordinator, Transportation Advisory Board at 229-2721. Sincerely, Robert D. Owens, Chair Transportation Advisory Board Attachment 230 East Fifth Street St.Paul,Minnesota 55101-1634 (612) 291-6359 Fax 291-6550 TDD/TTY 291-0904 Metro Info Line 229-3780 An Equal Opportunity Employer July 6, 1995 To: Mounds View City Council Members From: Beth and Lee Trotta Re: Funding of the Pedestrian Bridge Across Hwy 10 We are definately in favor of connecting the north and south side of Mounds View with a bridge across Hwy 10. Not mentioned in the information is the possibility of a tunnel under the highway. If the cross-over bridge is not esthetically pleasing to enough people, a peditrian tunnel is another solution. This is would also make it possible for wildlife to follow a corridor from one side to the other. We have experienced several pleasant biking and walking trails that have a tunnel under a highway.
