Summer activities are in full swing. Special events are being organized - ready to go! If you are unable to attend the meeting please call me at 784-0618 or leave a message with someone in the office. We are blessed with two excellent interns this summer - enabling us to spread our wings a little more with added staff- and try new programs and activities. Margaret is completing an updated Lifeguarding and Aquatics Employee Manual. Andrew is doing the same with a new updated Recreation Leader's Employee Manual. Both projects are be assets to the • department. In addition, they are planning and organizing the Teen Dance at Lakeside Park, July 11. This is a cooperative program with our neighboring city, Spring Lake Park. It is really a big help to have two additional employees in the office to answer phones, take registrations and provide office assistance. Festival is almost here and the committee is working hard to provide the best Festival ever! Community Theater has also begun set design and construction, ad campaigns, rehearsals, prop hunting, publicity, ticket sales, etc. Safety Camp is being organized. Summer playground leaders workshop was conducted last Thursday and Friday, with programs beginning this week. Summer camps and clinics have begun and will continue throughout the summer. The Senior Day in the Park picnic had over 180 seniors attend for food, entertainment and fellowship. It was a huge success once again. We were awarded an Arts Grant to be used for entertainment for the Festival. Sharie prepared the grant application so deserves a word of thanks. So many things going on - will update you more at the meeting.

Room C, City Hall Commissioners met at Oakwood Park and walked the path to Greenfield Park. CALL TO ORDER: Chair Burmeister called the meeting to order at 7:10 p.m. ROLL CALL: Commissioners present included Chair Burmeister, Commissioners Silvis, Gunn, Long and Stevenson. Director Saarion was also present. MINUTES: Commissioner Silvis made a motion to approve the minutes of April 25, 1996, seconded by Commissioner Stevenson. Motion passed unanimously. SAFETY FENCING: Director Saarion proposed that the City Council consider fencing options for Hillview and Groveland Park - since it is a 1996 goal of the Commission to provide safety fencing at these two youth athletic fields. It was agreed by Commissioners that the addition of 10 ` high fencing from the backstop just beyond the first and third base overthrow area would provide additional prevention of overthrown and wild throws that tend to go out into the streets. Commissioner Silvis made a motion to approve the plans and fencing for Hillview and Groveland Parks to made the fields more safe for youth participants. Motion was seconded by Commissioner Gunn. Motion passed unanimously. Staff will pursue the implementation of this goal with Park Dedication funding. BIKE SAFETY DAY: Director Saarion reviewed the plans for the Bike Safety Day to be held at City Hall Saturday, June 1. Several Commissioners Sherry Gunn, Frank Silvis, Pam Starr and Gary Stevenson volunteered to help. Cathy Bednar and Mary Saarion will be staff members, and Greg Frausone, • Park Patrol and North Suburban Schwinn employees will also provided assistance. The program will include a bike safety instructional video, obstacle course, bicycle check and bicycle helmet fitting. SUMMER PROGRAM REVIEW: Director Saarion reported updates to the Festival, MVCT production of"Annie", upcoming special events and programs. PROJECT UPDATES: 1. PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE - Director Saarion reported that easements were currently being prepared for the ponding area of Mounds View Square, library land and land owned by Wildwood Manor. All three owners are willing to provide the land, two on the south side without strings attached. However, MV Square will require some negotiating for the easement. Cathy Bennett, Economic Development Coordinator is working with Pastor Enterprises regarding the easement. Commissioner Long made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Gunn stating recommendation from the Commission that the pond should be removed - mitigated to prevent future problems down the road such as maintenance headaches, aesthetics, water safety, etc. Motion passed unanimously. Commissioners s overs also requested staff to mail all and any information relating to the • pedestrian bridge because they want to remain informed and advocate for the pedestrian bridge. 2 COMMUNITY CENTER - The City Council continues to look into the possibilities for the Community Center looking both at revenue opportunities and service opportunities. Cost estimates are being prepared for both operation and construction/improvements. Councilmember Trude requested ideas from Commissioners regarding the Community Center. See attached report documenting Commissioners thoughts and ideas. 3. ARDEN PARK IMPROVEMENTS - Director Saarion spoke with Zack Hansen on the telephone this week for an update on the improvement schedule for the compost facility located at Arden Park. Currently Ramsey County Health Department is working on a big project regarding trash hauling - and once that has been completed will turn towards compost facility improvements. I asked whether improvements will happen yet this year and Zack replied affirmatively. 4. RANDOM PARK PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT - Has been ordered and will take approximately 4-6 weeks to arrive. It is anticipated that equipment will be installed in August. We will have a community party at Random Park once it is completed - featuring the pre-school age resident.

Park grass was sprayed for dandelions and other broad leaf weeds at the end of last week. Many park rentals and picnic reservations require daily cleaning. The siding on the south side of Hillview Park building is being replaced. Benches were installed at Edgewood Middle School softball fields (in the back of the school). Steve along with Mary and Mary attended a meeting with MVAA representatives working on the committee hosting the AAU Regional Baseball Tournament at Silver View Park June 28, 29 and 30 to plan field maintenance and park use during that weekend. This event is always a popular entertainment activity and brings in many people throughout the weekend to our fair city. RECREATION: Playground leaders attended training and workshop days Thursday and Friday of this week to prepare for activities beginning Monday, June 24. Two new programs are being initiated. One is the Traveling Playground. Another is a Middle School Age youth afternoon drop-in program for 12 - 18 year olds held at Pinewood and Edgewood gymnasiums. • The Sr. Day in the Park was held Tuesday and served over 180 senior citizens od, great entertainment, games, and fellowship. All had a great time. Thanks to all the volunteers that helped make this special event a great success. Special thanks to the Mounds View and Spring Lake Park Lion's Clubs, Western Bank and Mounds View Square Merchants Association for funding this event. Sharie Linke is to be acknowledged for organizing this popular senior citizen program. Congratulations to Sharie for receiving an Arts Grant totaling $1,650. This grant will be used for Festival Entertainment featuring culturally diverse entertainment - as is the theme for the 1996 Festival in the Park.. FORESTRY: Forester Wriskey and crew planted a memorial tree for friends and family of Rick Johnson. The flowering Red Splendor tree was planted at Greenfield Park. The forestry crew continues to work at Silver View Park and has been spraying around the trees in preparation of an Eagle Scout project to chip around the trees to protect them from mowers and drought. CABLE TV: Patrick Toth began work in Mounds View at a time when several large Cable TV projects are in • the works. Programs including "A View From the Mound", footage from the Sr. Day in the Park, • promotions for the Festival, Parade coverage, Mounds View Community Theater"Annie" promotions, and regular City Council meetings are all on his plate. When time allows he will be continuing to work on projects including "Seniors on the Go", Conversation with the Mayor, and others. GOLF COURSE: John Hammerschmidt has been spending a lot of time with representatives and service technicians of the pump station - Tri-State Pump and Watertronics. The pump station is not working correctly making watering difficult. John has been documenting all information. A report will be forwarded to Bob Long, in hopes of seeking total replacement of the pump after this season. It has been determined that the pump that was installed does not comply with the pump specified on the construction plans. The power of our current pump is less than that needed to sprinkle the golf course green and fairway areas, thus leaving a dead area that water does not reach. Staff will pursue this issue with the assistance of Bob Long. • • • • one 6, 1996 -1Is.

The Interior appropriations bill - H.R. 36.62 - is scheduled for flooraction on Wednesday, June 19, 1996. . LWCF state assistance was authorized. by,Congress to invest royalties arising from the deple- tion of offshore oil resources in a nationwide network of public parks_ Congress has routinely di- verted. money from the .fund, spending a mere 10% of the authorized amount ($900 million) for its 'Fintended purposes: Now, Congress is proposing to cut LWCF to its lowest level since the 1960's_ urther, the House committee report contains guidance to 'close-out" the state assistance program. The actionalso wouldput some_of 'the 37,000 previously aided LWCF projects at risk by eliminating. the capacity to monitor 'in perpetuity' requirements.. H.R. 3662 also continues the shut down the :UrbanPark Recreation and 'RecoveryPro gram (UPARR), which is critical to the restoration of urban park and recreation facilities. In the nation's most distressed cities andurban counties. These facilities and programs are important to children and families subject to high levels of crime and'violence: Status: Two floor amendments are expected to be offered tomorrow (Wednesday). US Rep. George Miller (D-CA7) will move to transfer $10 million from taxpayer subsidies for energy companies to re-fund the UPARR program. US Rep. Sam Farr (D-CA17) will move to restore about $27 million to the Land and Water Conservation.Fund for state/local grants.. Action: Call your representative immediately and urge support for the Farr (LWCF) and Miller (UPARR) amendments to H.R. 3662. Contact your representative at the Capitol switchboard: 202/224- 3121. • Message: These public. partnerships address critical socialand environmental conditions. Recreation-as- prevention has-helped reduce juvenile crime up to 50% in several.American communities. State and cal governments require about $30 billion through 1999 to restore existing facilities, construct new 1111Fnes and conserve land and water.. Only about 40% will be available from non-federal.sources_. Moreover, eliminating partnership funds is inconsistent with the nationalgoal of controlling long term federal spending. State/local investments avoid higher federal expenditures by-encouraging state and local responses before crises arise. Also, cite personal/local conditionsand experiences. 06-19-1996 09:52 612 770 4506 City of Maplewood P.02 • Maplewood Parks and Recreation Department Coffee Concert Series (612) 779-3555 2100 White Bear Avenue The Vic Tedesco Orchestra Other Concerts that we are featuring September 19- 10:30 am this season at the MCC Join us on Thursday, September 19 at The Teddy Bear Band Sept. 14 10:30 am to hear this local personality and his Orchestra as they cover the music of the big Lakewood Comm.

Related in this report are comments provided by Commissioners at the May 23 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting. It was the opinion of Commissioner Silvis that the City should retain ownership and control of the Community Center. This was agreed by all Commissioners. It was also stated that the Community Center goal should be to house programs that serve City residents. A teen center was the highest priority - agreed by all Commissioners. The teen center was discussed with the opinion being that a person hired specifically for teen leadership is vital for the success of the program. A teen center run by volunteers did not seem to be a viable option with • the opinion that teens would not come to a teen center where their parents were supervising. Also, the consistency of volunteers and hours needed for coordination did not seem practical. A teen coordinator was seen as being the key element for teen center success. It was also the opinion that teen center would need to have a separate entrance, and be located in a part of the building that is set apart - so that teens at the center would not disrupt other activities ie banquets, meetings, etc. The teen center could have specific hours of operation, perhaps 8 hours a week, 4 hours on weekends, whatever the demand is - to be determined by trial and error. Ramsey County or State Health services was also a high priority. Services like flu shots, ear exams, pregnancy tests, health information, etc. was seen as a beneficial service for the community. Commissioners expected that the Parks and Recreation staff would be housed at the Community Center - to provide the facility management/operations during the weekday times eliminating the need to hire a daytime facility manager. The Commission foresees an hourly empioyee as facility manager during the evenings and weekends. Commissioners commented that they believed staffing is necessary during times that the community center is in operation. Custodial staff is also necessary and the Commission thought that it would not be difficult to find a person to be paid hourly to perform custodial services. Commissioner Long expressed his desire that the Community Center retain the large dance floor • and that ballroom dances continue as an activity - everyone concurred. They voiced their opinion that the Bei Rae already has a reputation for dances, that their is a following for dance activities • and the addition of weddings, banquets, reunions, etc. would provide some revenue. Also, they wished to see the City maintain the activities of the Bel Rae either by contracting Tony and his group for supervising or finding someone that can do that work. They did not think that it should be left sitting - they thought the community would go berserk if they just saw the building sitting. None of the Commissioners have heard or received negative comments regarding the Bel Rae. Commissioner Burmeister said that he has had many questions of residents asking what is happening, but no negative comments. All other said that they have had only positive comments and that people are anxious to find out what is happening. Sherry Gunn commented that the people at Pinewood are excited about the Community Center - that they look forward to support programs such as health programs, ECSC, and other support student services. It was suggested by Gary Stevenson that perhaps DARE could be housed out of the Comm. Center, with police providing a type of teen interaction. The group as a whole was concerned about VB Diggs. Gary Stevenson voiced his opinion that VB Diggs should be on their own - they do not want the City to be dependent upon the success of VB Diggs. Gary Stevenson had the idea that the VB courts should be big enough to change to BE courts in the event that VB Diggs discontinue VB - opening the opportunity to host BB tournaments as well as VB tournaments. Sherry Gunn said that she is a leary about VB Diggs also, thinking that the community center should offer more for the community than providing VB to persons outside of the community. All concurred with these comments. Frank Silvis suggested that the stage area be retained - not so much for MVCT productions but for other smaller productions, concerts, presentations, or other events that would benefit from a stage presence. The full kitchen was seen as a plus - providing the opportunity for community groups to use the Community Center for fundraising events such as pancake breakfasts, spaghetti dinners, etc. The Commissioners were in full agreement with each other. Their perspective is very community orientated. I asked them about the willingness to subsidize the operations of the community center and they commented that subsidization is expected. I asked them how much and they did not know. The Commission was united in the philosophy that community support activities be first and foremost - over and above brokering the facility out for revenue even though that means more subsidization. The only element unknown undefined is the amount of subsidization that is comfortable. I offered a scenario for contemplation - $191,000 operations cost with only S71,000 revenue leaving a $120,000 subsidization cost annually. There was no comment pro or con. This seems to be the element that needs to be defined - the thresh-hold of subsidization that the community will bear. The other factor is - services that the community is willing to subsidize - seen as a benefit to the community and their lives in general - what are these services? Dave Long asked what community service/support activities were suggested in the Focus 2000 process. Dave Long wanted to to review the Focus 2000 report - I was asked to mail copies to a few that had misplaced theirs. I asked them what types of revenue enue or leasing services did they think would be beneficial to the community. They mentioned that they liked that idea of School Dist. ECSC leasing, thought dance, music studios would be advantageous as they are usually successful businesses that serve youth and are consistent once they build a clientele. Also, they suggested perhaps Karate school, gymnastics clubs, etc. In conclusion, they liked the idea of bringing in youth orientated activities that youth of the community would be able to participate in- close to home, within walking or biking distance. They also expressed the idea that perhaps the City could ensure that youth of the community would have first priority in these services and activities. This was the input of the Parks and Recreation Commissioners - Sherry Gunn, Wayne Burmeister, Frank Silvis, Dave Long and Gary Stevenson. Pam Starr and Scott Dentz were at the DARE graduation. I forwarded your memo and asked them to call you to share their opinions. Perhaps you will need to call them - I know everyone is so busy at this time of year, and things get missed. Commissioners requested staff mail them packet information that concerned the Community Center because they want to be kept abreast of information. They see themselves as a key resident group because they foresee the community center to be leisure and service orientated. • •
