A few Commissioners will be out of town during that week. As you requested at the January meeting, I have invited Mike Ulrich, City Public Works Director to attend the meeting and discuss with us the options for marking bicycle trails on City streets. In addition, it was your request to discuss the issue of a bicycle trail connecting to the Ardan Avenue street improvement project that is scheduled to occur in the near future. This is a meeting dedicated to the advancement of bicycle trails. Please come prepared with ideas and questions to •hare with Mike. I have updated the trailway map to include the pedestrian bridge, Long Lake sidewalk and the possibility of extending Silver Lake Road off-street trail. Also included in this meeting agenda is a request by the MVAA to place an equipment building at a park site. The MVAA spends a great deal of money on storing equipment and wishes the City's assistance with this project. Please be thinking about possible locations. Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated. The request for geotechnical services for information and testing at Woodcrest Park is on the consent agenda for Monday, February 13 , 1995 City Council meeting with anticipation that it will be approved. This services will be performed as soon as possible so that the Commission can move forward with the goal of planning improvements for Woodcrest Park. If you are unable to attend the meeting please call me at 784- 0618 . Since your agenda of 1995 goals is so ambitious, I will try to assist by gathering and presenting as much information as possible to discuss at the meetings so that you can proceed with your action steps.

Commissioner absent, Starr. Director Saarion was also present. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Silvis made a motion seconded by Commissioner Stevenson to approve the minutes of December 1, 1994 . Minutes were approved unanimously. FINALIZE • 1995 GOALS: Commissioner Silvis made a motion seconded by Commissioner Long to approve the Parks and Recreation Commission' s Goals for 1995. They are ready to be presented to the City Council for review. ANNUAL REPORT: Each Commissioner was presented with the 1994 Annual Report. This Annual Report is provided for record keeping, information and reference. It is a comprehensive book documenting 1994 activities, goals, activities, staff persons, statistics, etc. Commissioners expressed their appreciation for the report and complimented staff on the quality of the Annual Report. WOODCREST PARK: Staff requested direction from the Commission regarding Woodcrest Park plans. First discussion led toward the idea of inviting residents of the area to meet with the Commission for input. However, after further discussion it was agreed that perhaps staff should first obtain geotechnical data and information, evaluation and recommendation regarding the soil conditions at • Woodcrest Park to determine what is feasible and what is not possible regarding park improvements. The Commission directed staff to pursue soil borings and analysis for information and • recommendation. ARDAN PARK: The Commission also discussed action to be taken for the goal of improving the aesthetics of Ardan Park. It was suggested that staff invite Zak Hansen to a future meeting to discuss possible cooperatives in making the park and the compost site more pleasing and to address the traffic pattern in the park. Staff will invite Zak /-11" to the March Parks and Recreation Commission meeting. GRANTS: Director Saarion announced that a new year of grants are being solicited by the State and recommended three projects including: 1. 50% match on the cost of purchasing the property next to Groveland Park. 2 . Park improvements for Woodcrest Park. 3 . Park improvements for the Golf Course open space, ie benches, dock, signs, etc. The Commission agree on these three projects for grant applications. In addition, staff informed the Commission that an application was being prepared for the off-street trail continuation • along Silver Lake Road from County Road H to Hwy 10. This is an ISTEA grant - for transportation alternatives. Also, staff informed the Commission that a CDBG grant was prepared for the paving of the Silver View Park pond path on the easement of Scotland Green Apartment Complex - as an enhancement to living environments to multiple family dwellings. OTHER BUSINESS: Commissioner Stevenson asked about the progress of the bicycle trailways - asking why the on-street bicycle trails have not been accomplished. Staff explained that the streets are under the supervision of the Public Works Department. It was suggested that the Director of Public Works, Mike Ulrich, be invited to the next Commission meeting so that the Commission can discuss with him their requests regarding on-street bikeways. In addition, the Commission wants to discuss the Ardan Avenue road improvements as it poses a possibility to plan an off-street trailway along with the project. Staff will invite Mike Ulrich to the next meeting in February. iNEXT MTG. : Commissioner Long mentioned that the meeting in February is during school winter break and that he would be on vacation. Two other Commissioners • were also going to be gone. It was decided to hold the February meeting the third Thursday so that all Commissioners could attend. The next meeting is set for February 16, 1995. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Silvis made a motion seconded by Commissioner Dentz to adjourn the meeting. Motion approved unanimously.

MVAA has the money to build the building, but they do not have land. They are requesting the City to donate land for the location of the building. One suggestion for possible location is the space at Greenfield Park next to the existing single garage building housing the sprinkling and electrical systems. The existing berm, portable restroom enclosure and trees could be removed/moved. The parking lot would provide adequate accessibility. Park Worker has measured the site and there is enough space to allow a building that size. The benefit would be that it is located at a field that is almost exclusively used by MVAA and therefore is considered a "home" facility for MVAA. • Another space would be at the backside of Greenfield Park next to the "Blue" playground equipment across from Oakwood Park on Hillview Road. Another possible spot would be between the large pine trees at Hillview Park north of the hockey rink in the area of the sand volleyball court. There would be a possibility that a building could be located east of the public works garage facility along Bronson Drive. The land is flat, access would be good off of Bronson. These are but a few ideas. Please come to the meeting with input to this request. The City Council is awaiting your recommendation regarding this issue. • 0 1995 WOIt PLAN • Mounds View Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION 1 Goal No. 1 Improvement of Ardan Park ..1 I ANTICIPATED WORK PLAN PERSON(S)RESPONSIBLE COMPLETION OUTCOME DATE Explore the possibilities and opportunities with Ramsey County to co- Staff/Commission/Council Spring/Summer exist with the compost facility and park plans.

' 95-1236WS 7 AGENDA SESSION DATE February 6, 1995 Report Date: 2-2-95 DISPOSITION Item Description: Review Proposal for Soil Testing at Woodcrest Park Administrator's Review/Recommendation: VA--;- No comments to supplement this report `-- ' )Z• - Comments attached. _ Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) SUMMARY; Parks and Recreation Commissioners have set a goal of pursuing improvements to Woodcrest Park as was suggested by the neighborhood group of the SW section of the City and residents neighboring Woodcrest Park. Woodcrest Park is a very difficult park to improve because of its high water table, moving soils, and storm water ditch surrounding the Sark. The Commission intends on inviting the neighboring residents to a eeting for input as to their desires for the park. However, the Commission feels the need to know what is feasibly possible at Woodcrest Park, considering it's limitations. Therefore, the Commission has requested staff to pursue testing of the park to determine a professional opinion as to the needs of the park for further development and the estimated cost of such soil improvements. I have received a proposal from American Engineering Testing, Inc. and am expecting a proposal from SEH (not received yet, but will provide at or before the meeting) . Both would provide excellent services, with the price being the deciding factor. The proposal cost offered by American Engineering Services is estimated at $1700 - 1900. The service fee would be funded with Park Improvement monies from Park Dedication fees. ././i ✓�.,iit Mary S-a of IrTector .of Parks, Recreation and Forestry 411 RE Request the City Council to approve the geotechnical testing of Woodcrest Park for evaluation on the needs and costs of nark IIIERICaN CONSULTANTS • GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING • MATERIALS INC. • 111•1•111TESTING, I • ENVIRONMENTAL January 27, 1995 City of Mounds View 2401 Highway 10 Mounds View, MN 55112-1499 Attn: Mary Saarion, Director Parks, Recreation and Forestry RE: Proposal for Geotechnical Services Woodcrest Park Improvements Mounds View, Minnesota Dear Ms. Saarion: 111 American Engineering Testing, Inc. is pleased to offer you subsurface exploration and geotechnical review services for the improvements you are considering for Woodcrest Park. This proposal is being submitted per our discussion and your fax transmittal on January 26, 1995. This letter is intended to propose a scope of work and to present you with an estimate of the associated fee, the anticipated schedule, and other information regarding our services. Purpose of Study The purpose of this geotechnical work is to explore the subsurface conditions at the site, and based on our characterization of the obtained data, to prepare a geotechnical engineering report presenting comments and recommendations to assist you and your project team in planning and construction. Project Information We understand improvements being considered include a new youth athletic field which will be located to the east of the existing building at the park. We understand the existing ground has experienced some irregular movements. Because of this, you wish to evaluate the future performance of the land and determine if certain grading procedures may be needed to improve the performance. As the area is currently somewhat level, needed grading to establish a flat playing surface should be relatively low (assuming soil correction is not needed). We understand you are also planning to pave the existing parking lot in the southwest corner of . the park. The lot is currently surfaced with an aggregate base material. and you would like to add bituminous surfacing. 'AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER' 2102 University Ave. W.

Mankato.Rochester.Wausau 1111- •• Ms. Mary Saarion January 27, 1995 Page 2 We have visited the site and, assuming we do not receive a significant snowfall, we able to gain access to representative test locations with a 4-wheel drive, one-ton truck drill rig Scope of Services Fieldwork To evaluate the athletic field area, we propose to drill and sample three standard penetration test borings (ASTM:D 1586). Our proposal is based on a total boring lineal footage of 48 feet for these 3 borings, resulting in an average depth of 16'. The program may be altered depending on conditions encountered, although will plan to limit ourselves to 48 lineal feet to remain within budget. To aid your evaluation of the parking lot improvements, we propose to place two flight auger • borings (ASTM:D 1452) to a depth of 4W each. Our services will include arranging clearance of underground public utilities through the Gopher State One Call System. We will also document the boring locations and measure the surface elevation at each test location. Laboratory Our services will include mechanical laboratory testing of selected soil samples to aid in judging engineering properties of the soils. In this proposal, we have budgeted for S75 for geotechnical laboratory testing. If conditions are encountered which indicate the laboratory program should be expanded for proper evaluation, we will review the recommended tests and associated cost with you prior to proceeding. Engineering Report • Following the field and laboratory work, a formal engineering report will be prepared and submitted. This report will include logs of the test borings, the laboratory test results, a review of engineering properties of the on-site soils, and our geotechnical engineering opinions and recommendations regarding the following: • Estimates of future settlements or heaves of the athletic field area • Grading procedures to correct the athletic field area if the future movements are • anticipated to be excessive. • Parking lot subgrade preparation (if needed) • Estimated subgrade R-value Ms. Mary Saarion • January 27, 1995 Page 3 • Pavement thickness design The scope of work defined in this proposal is intended for geotechnical purposes only. This scope is not intended to explore for the presence or extent of environmental contamination at the site. However, we will note obvious contamination encountered which can be detected by human sight or smell sensing. Fees The scope of work defined in this proposal will be performed on a time and materials basis according to our current schedule of fees. A short form copy of this schedule is attached. The final fee is estimated to be in the range of S1700 to S1900; and we will establish the latter figure as a not-to-exceed fee for the scope described. In the event the scope of our work needs to be revised due to unanticipated conditions or for proper evaluation, we will review such adjustments and the associated fees with you; and receive your approval before proceeding. . Schedule Weather permitting, we anticipate drilling operations can begin within about 1 to l'/:: weeks after receiving authorization to proceed. Verbal results of the drilling activities can be obtained shortly after completion of the drilling. We anticipate the geotechnical report can be prepared within about two weeks after completion of the field work. We are available to review special schedule needs with you. Terms/Conditions Our services will be performed per the attached two-page "Service Agreement," along with the "Subsurface Boring Supplement." Acceptance Please indicate your acceptance of this proposal by endorsing the enclosed copy and returning it to us. The original proposal is intended for your records.

Kurt will relocate to northern Minnesota, near Grand Rapids. His new destination is an 18 hole municipal course which abuts a lake located on the outskirts of Grand Rapids resort areas. Williams, Gill and Associates are the architects of this new course. As you may recall, The Bridges was designed by the same architects. The course is currently in the construction phase. Kurt will be responsible for the "grow in" and maturation stages just as he was with The Bridges. This new job is an advancement in Kurt' s career as a Golf Course Superintendent. Kurt especially forward to working an 18 hole course. Although we are sad to see Kurt leave us, we are happy that he has this new and exciting opportunity. Kurt says that his family is excited about living in a more rural setting. Kurt' s boys are enthusiastic hockey participants and look forward to the opportunities for playing hockey in the Grand Rapids area. Kurt will be leaving the last part of April. His intention is to • spend a week or more with the new golf course superintendent so that he can pass on the information for the operation of the irrigation system, pumping system and phases of the turf management program. Brus continues to take on much of the ordering of vending and sales materials. He has been working on arrangements for league registrations and lesson programs. Applications has been solicited for seasonal work at the golf course. Russ Ruzynski has begun work with golf course maintenance. His assistance is greatly appreciated. GOLF COURSE TASK FORCE MEETS THURSDAY, MARCH 16 The Task Force is scheduled to meet this Thursday to plan activities for The Bridges Grand Opening. Before the meeting the Task Force members will have the opportunity to hit golf balls off the mats at the practice range. The practice range is still soggy and needs additional drying weather before the range can open for the general public. However, operations are ready for range opening as soon as the weather can produce Spring drying winds that will dry up the soils on the range so that the ball picker can operate without damaging the turf. It is difficult to be patient especially when waiting on the weather. • CM' ICDF • 2��pJV Phone: (612) 784-3055 I5' Fax: (612) 784-3462 "Quite Simply the Best' THE BRIDGES CLUBHOUSE MEMO #2 From: Kurt and Brus To: Golf Course Management Team Sub: Weekly Clubhouse Progress Highlights • • March 6 1 .

He does not think that that is a good road to begin with for these reasons: * Edgewood School often needs to use both sides of Edgewood Dr. for parking during school events. * Edgewood Dr. is not a heavy "bike-use" road. * He thinks that residents will not be in favor of No Parking on one side of Edgewood Dr. • Police Chief Ramacher believes that Hiliview Road would be a better choice. The areas along Hillview Road from Red Oak Dr. to Long Lake Road and continuing from Long Lake Road to Oakwood Park are more widely traveled by bicyclists and leads to parks and two off-street trailway corridors including Long Lake Road and Quincy Street. Hiliview Road is wide and has the parking stripes already lined on both sides. Hiliview Road is in pretty good condition. Perhaps the Commission wishes to reconsider the choice for a trial bikelane. I have included the parking ordinance in the packet. Once a recommendation can be agreed upon, the Commission will need to approach the City Council with the approval to pursue changing the parking ordinance. Budgetary factors must be weighed also. The estimated $80. 00 cost per bikelanes sign will need to be considered. • --- B L A I N E --`------ i • 6 , i . .,. , I ._ „. .,,‘--3 4 Y 15 I NO SCALE cc i I u T o �Rc Yc • I I I - .RwN L.. .._.8 L A I N E Y I MP ,°..n 7iI - j V .1F--- 797[21 1 ,PORT CR a 1 VEFRr1E I sOUI ANE illI' ` ` Q70— fti.` i� K 9 �� W COof Y I !

The old shingles have been removed and new shingles are being installed. VANDALISM AT SILVER VIEW PARK - Car tracks have ripped up the turf on the ballfields at Silver View Park. In addition, a vehicle ran into a permanent trash receptacle requiring replacement. This is a very vulnerable time for parks because the weather is not yet conducive for scheduled activities. This means that fewer people are present in the parks during the month of March. In addition, the ground is very soggy with snow melt and water retention due to ground frost, making tire tracks very damaging to athletic fields and other managed grasslands. ENGINEERING/DESIGN PROPOSALS FOR PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE - Six proposals were received for engineer/design services for the• pedestrian bridge. All six proposals were close in costs and services and therefore all six firms have been invited to present their proposals to an interview panel. Panel members include Samantha Orduno, Jim Hess, Paul Harrington, Mike Ulrich, Julie Trude and Mary Saarion. The interviews will be held March 22 and March 27 . All six proposals have been forwarded to MNDOT who has agreed to review the proposals and provide additional recommendation. All six firms have been identified as excellent in bridge engineering/design. The panel will be trying to find the right "fit" for this project and our community. Staff has prepared the packet of information for the interview panel and has arranged the schedule of interviews. Each firm has been contacted by telephone and has been sent a follow-up letter confirming the purpose of the interview and providing the schedule and relative information. RECREATION: SICK AND VACATIONING - Mary battled strep throat this week and Sharie returns from vacation in Washington D.C. The weather is beautiful and we can always relate the weather with the number of telephone calls that we receive. This week it was a lot! ! People have Spring fever and are anxious to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather. • SUMMER YOUTH ATHLETIC REGISTRATION - The opening registration for summer youth athletic activities begins this Saturday, March 18 . A parent ' s meeting will be held prior to registration. This • meeting explains the philosophy of youth sports and explains the programs that are offered. Several Parks and Recreation Commission members will be assisting staff during the registration process. FORESTRY: TREE REMOVAL BID RESULTS - Forester Wriskey has received six bids for tree removal services. Staff has received the bid information. A request for Council approval of the low bid will be on the March 27 meeting agenda. TRIMWORK CONTINUES - Rick has lamented that tree trimming could be a continuous, year-round activity. During the winter months Rick and his crew have tried to cover as much territory as possible. However, in a community blessed with so many trees, there is never enough time for trimming. SPRING TREE SALE - Orders for trees have been received. The Spring Tree Sale is an excellent way to offer quality trees to residents at a reasonable price. Many residents take advantage of this program, continuing Mounds View' s reputation of having beautiful trees. • CABLE TV: "THE VIEW FROM THE MOUND" - The March production was filmed this week. The show will be edited and aired beginning next week. The program introduces Brus Von Ende, the new golf instructor and Clubhouse Manager. In addition, a guest nutritionist provided information on good eating habits. Tim Cruikshank told about the visit from the Russian contingent. GOLF ACTIVITIES : FOOD SALE REQUIREMENTS - Brus and Kurt have been looking into requirements for vending food sales and over the counter food sales at the golf course. Ramsey County Health Department inspectors will meet this week with staff at the golf course offering suggestions and requirements for sale of foods. LEAGUES AND LESSONS - Calls regarding leagues and lessons continue to be received at the Clubhouse. Brus will continue to arranged times and dates to serve the groups and individuals who wish to play "The Bridges" . SEASONAL WORKERS - Ads have been published for seasonal employees at the Clubhouse. Brus will be interviewing, hiring and training staff during the next 3-4 weeks. • ZIP CODE - The Bridges is experiencing poor mail service. There has been confusion with the address and difficulty with the postal service to The Bridges. The address for the Clubhouse is 8290 Coral Sea Street, located in Mounds View, MN. However, because this area is in the service area of the Blaine Post • Office the address must say Blaine versus Mounds View and the zip code is a Blaine zip code, 55449 . The New Brighton Post Office has indicated that we can continue to say "Mounds View, MN" but must put the Blaine 55449 zip code. The Blaine Post Office says that we must indicate Blaine, Mn with the 55449 zip code or else the mail will be returned. That is exactly what has been happening. • 802.01 802.01 • CHAPTER 802 PARKING REGULATIONS SECTION: 802.01: Definitions 802.02: Public Parking 802.03: No-Parking Zones 802.04: Oversize Vehicle Parking 802.05: Impeding Traffic 802.06: Parking During Snow Accumulation 802.07: Off-Street Parking 802.08: Restricted Hours 802.09: Parking Vehicles for Sale 802.10: Vehicle Towing Provisions 802.11: Violation of Provisions • 802.01: DEFINITIONS: As used in this Chapter, the following words and terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this Section: Subd. 1.

On January 27 , 1995 , the Ramsey County Bike Path Map Committee met to discuss future uses for the map. Attending the meeting • were representatives from the cities of Arden Hills , Roseville, Shoreview, St. Paul, and Vadnais Heights; the St. Paul Bike Advisory Board, and the Ramsey County Public Works Department. The Committee reviewed the draft bike path map and noted where changes to paths had occurred since the May 1994 version. The Committee also noted that a lot of bike trail construction has occurred in the County in the past eight months : however, many of the individual trails are not connected by links that meet standards . The Committee recommended that the current version of the bike path map be used as a planning document, and that it be updated and revised annually to reflect new trails . Enclosed is the latest version of the Ramsey County Bike Path Planning Map. A meeting will be held in Fall 95 to update the map. If you have any questions , please contact Jon Walsh at 266-2608.

When Governor Carlson presented his budget it included $4,476,000 or less than 6% of the cost. We need your help. Ask your legislator to restore the 10% funding. The State of Minnesota funds the state park system so that operating and maintaining state parks is not incumbent upon the financial resources of the municipalities or counties where the state parks are located. The regional park system is treated differently. The City of St. Paul and Ramsey County are responsible for operating and maintaining the regional parks under their jurisdiction. This means that the residents of the City of St. Paul must pay to operate and maintain Como Park and Harriet Island Park, and Ramsey County residents must pay to operate and maintain Long Lake Regional Park and Keller Regional Park even though many people who use the parks come from around the state. There are eight regional parks in St. Paul and Ramsey County. • If the Governor's budget recommendation for 0 & M funding of the regional parks is adopted by the legislature, rather than $7 million or 10% for the biennium, it will result in an annual reduction of over $257,000 for the City of St. Paul and over $88,000 for Ramsey County. Please call or write your legislators. If you do not know the name and phone number, call 296-0504. All addresses are State Capital, St. Paul, MN 55155. Ask them to support biennial funding of $7 million for operating and maintaining the regional park system. Sample letter: Please personalize - Please personalize - Please personalize Dear Senator: or Representative: As a park user, I ask that you support $7 million for the biennium for the operation and maintenance of the regional park system. This level of funding represents only about 10% of the total operations and maintenance costs. Minnesota law authorizes the state to pay up to 40% of the operations and maintenance costs. The majority of operations and maintenance costs for the regional park system is paid for with property tax. The City of St. Paul and Ramsey County stand to lose a substantial amount of amount of dollars of park funding if the amount of money appropriated falls below the 10% or $7 million requested by the Metro Council. I ask for your support for this very important appropriation. • Thank you.
