CHAIRMAN' S Chairperson Burmeister reported that Mr. Bob
REPORT Halseth, 7666 Knollwood Drive had two maple
trees that could possibly be transplanted with
the City' s tree spade . In addition , he commented
that the young soccer players were causing damage
to the turf at Silver View Park. Staff
indicated that he was aware the field was not
totally ready for play but due to the major defi-
ciency we have in soccer fields, it appears to be
our only option at this time to allow limited usage
of the Silver View soccer field .
COUNCILMEMBER'S Councilmember Doty questioned whether or not staff
REPORT contacts developers before construction to see if
any of the trees on site could be relocated in the
park areas. Staff indicated that he would contact
Forester Wriskey to determine how we might initiate
contacts with local developers. Councilmember Doty
also stated that a complimentary ticket was going
to be provided to each Park and Recreation Commis-
sioner to attend the annual Appreciation Dinner.
Staff indicated that a letter would be drafted and
forwarded to each Park and Recreation Commissioner
to determine whether or not they would be able to
attend and would make use of the complimentary
ticket.

BUDGET PRIORITIES Staff introduced the issue of budget priorities by
stating that initial draft proposals for 1984
budgets have been prepared and the need to priori-
tize potential park improvements for 1984 was
emminent. The Park Commissioners began an open
dialogue and discussion of possible park improve-
ments ranging from full scale development to minor
site ammenities. Staff indicated that it appeared
that $10 ,000 - $25 , 000 would be the maximum that
could be allocated for park improvements in 1984.
To that end , the Park Commission continued their
discussion , concentrating on site amenities and
listed a variety of potential projects. After
a great deal of discussion and prioritization by
the Parks and Recreation Commission, the following
projects were approved by the Parks and Recreation
Commission in a motion by Chairperson Burmeister ,
seconded by Commission Wermager. Motion passed
unanimously; 4 ayes, 0 nayes, to recommend that the
City Council adopt the following park improvements
for 1984 to be budgeted for either out of the
general fund or revenue sharing accounts.

progress that had been made to date and stated
that it had been a long process in reviewing
the airport master plan that would probably
end up at the Supreme Court level .
4 . Super deck - Staff showed an example of Super
Deck that is manufactured by a local manu-
facturing company and could potentially be
used a Silver View Park on the south side
of the pond in the low marshy area . The

$140. 00 - $300. 00 for a 5 foot section , it
appeared to be exhorbitant at this time .
5. Police Chief - Staff indicated that formal
interview dates had been set by the Police
Civil Service Commission for July 6 and 7 .

FROM: Bruce4 , IL - . -rson, Director
Parks,Y eation and Forestry
DATE : August 0 , 1983
RE: Monthly Update
The following items are programs and/or activities that took
place during the last month in our department . The items
do not need official commission action but will provide you
with an overview of activities that have evolved within our
department.
1 . 1983 Mid-season Forestry Report - Enclosed is a copy of
the mid-season forestry report from City Forester Rick
Wriskey . Highlights of the report are basically that our
diseased tree program appears to be working as we are down
30% in diseased tree incidents from thespring of 19182 . To
date, we have removed 96 elm and oaks within the City and
we attribute alot of our success to citizens awareness and
positivecompliance with the existing tree ordinance . Once
again we have done major tree planting within our city parks
III with 220 large trees already planted and approximately 500
to 1, 000 seedlings . One of the items that doesn 't get alot
of attention, but we feel we have made some positive strides
in is City Hall flower planting . We have basically planted
the area around City Hall and have extended our planting
areas to include the Groveland Park sign.
2 . Volunteer Coaches Award Program - On Tuesday, August 6 ,
our staff had a final banquet for youth volunteer coaches
at which time jackets were awarded to each of our summer
coaches . Staff will be providing an example of the jacket
which was awarded to the coaches and the concept was
extremely well received by the coaches and we hope to
continue it for the remainder of 1983 .
3 . Golf Course Update - Staff has been discussing with a couple
of the Councilmembers the feasibility of developing a golf
course on the northern edge of the City . Staff will be
providing a brief report as to how that has evolved and
what is occurring to date in the discussion of the feasibility
of developing a golf course .
4 . Corporate Program - Staff has met with representatives from
Honeywell and Medtronic firms to discuss how the City might
more closely interrelate with industry within the City of
Mounds View. To date, we have met with two firms and they
4111
both have been very interested in how the City might provide
services to the corporate sector .
Monthly Update
August 30 , 1983
Page two
The major facility that they seem to be interested in is
our existing swimming pool. We have already entered into
a contract with Medtronics to provide noon time open swim
and lesson programs . We look at exploring this type of
concept in the future .
5 . Hillview Park Mural - We are fortunate to have two summer
staff people , Jill Seaton and Andrea Wamhoff, paint a large
Life . Be in it . mural on the wall at Hillview Park . We
will be observing this as part of our tour on Thursday and
hope to expand the idea of mural painting to each of our
neighborhood parks in the future.

MEMO TO: Bruce Anderson , Director
Parks, Recreation and Forestry Dept.
• FROM: Rick Wriskey , City Forester
DATE : August 9 , 1983
RE: 1983 Mid-season Forestry Report
DUTCH ELM AND OAK WILT DISEASES
A combined total of 96 elms and oaks have been marked for removal
as of August 9 . At this time last year , about 125 trees were
marked . This 30% decrease in diseased tree incidence could be in
part due to a later than usual spring . Another reason could be
related to a carryover effect of two or more years of decreasing
numbers of diseased trees.
Citizen awareness and compliance concerning diseased tree matters
has been very good. More and more residents are calling in for
help and advice when tree health problems occur than in previous
years. This usually results in faster removal times thus
contributing again to the overall picture of successful tree
disease control .
TREE PLANTING AND SUMMER MAINTENANCE
Spring planting of bare-root trees was again concentrated in
• Silver View and City Hall Parks. In all , 220 trees were
planted. Two major areas of concentration were the center island
of Silver View' s parking lot ( 25 trees , 70 shrubs) and the berm
and Highway 10 areas of City Hall ( 62 trees) . The planting
emphasis for these areas was for fall color ( 85 trees) . An
additional 110 trees of five ( 5 ) different species were added for
spring blossoming effect. Twenty-five ( 25 ) trees are scheduled
to be transplanted from City nurseries this fall .
With timely rainfall and above-average soil moisture levels , the
newly planted trees have fared well despite some high
temperatures. However , starting in early August, tree watering
has become necessary to assure that the trees don' t enter
stress. Most trees appear to be adequately mulched with wood
chips.
CITY HALL FLOWERS AND MAINTENANCE
This year' s flowers came from Roseacker Florist, St. Anthony.
The per crate price as well as the quality of flowers has been
consistantly good at Roseacker . Additionally, a credit of
$125. 00 was given for the old vapam previously used for diseased
root graft control .
The maintenance of the immediate turf area and flower beds has
been undertaken by Odas Newton . This year the "west" oak area
• was also added to the hand mowing schedule . The compaction and
other inherent hazards of larger machinery in the oak area will
be much alleviated by this change .
-2-
MISCELLANEOUS TREE DISEASE AND INSECT PROBLEMS
A late but substantial hatch of cankerworms and loopers dealt
damage to trees for the fourth consecutive spring . This year ,
however , an acute preference change to maples caught many by
surprise . Previously preferred tree species ( cherry, flowering
crabs , lindens , and ash) were sprayed in all City parks with Bt
( thuricide) , an organic bacteriacide toxic only to leaf chewing
worms. While control on the above-mentioned species was
successful , the newly planted maples at City Hall and Silver View
Parks were unprotected . The result of the following defoliation
will be the eventual failing of 5-8 sugar and red maples.
Two other severe tree problems surfaced with greater than usual
intensity in June . The first was oak anthracnose , a fungus whose
symptoms are seen mainly as browning and curling leaves in the
lower portion of white and bur oaks. Most trees have by now
fully recovered . A second and more severe problem was birch leaf
miner on white or paper birch. The brownish resulting leaves
caused much stress to these trees. Those birch trees even those
slightly weakened become targets of the bronze birch borer which
usually leads to the death of the tree over a 2-3 year period.
Next year should show more dying birch than usual .
Other minor problems seen were bacterial wetwood on several
species , mountain ash sawfly, long spruce cone gall , maple •
bladder and velvet gall on soft ( silver ) maple , rose chafer and
apple scab fungus.
No reports of fireblight bacteria or verticilium wilt on maples
were recorded .
TREE ORDERS FOR 1984
The purchase of approximately 200 new trees is planned for 1984 .
Silver View and City Hall Parks will receive most of this new
stock. The trees will be used for replacement of any vandalized
or failed plantings of the past two years and for the continued
screening of Highway 10 to the northwest. An additional 40 trees
are expected from donations and City nurseries .

FROM: Staff 101011
DATE: August 30 , 1983
RE: Lambert Park tot lot design
Staff has attached two possible tot lot designs that will
fall within the $5 ,000 range that has been budgeted for
equipment at Lambert Park. The two possible designs include
a play booster structure which would include two slides, a
number of ramps and a 360 degree tire swing. The landscape
structure playground module includes a horizontal ladder main
structure with a number of ramps , a wheel, spiral slide, dome
wall, tunnel support and a 360 degree tire swing . Both items
are actually a little bit over the $5 ,000 that is budgeted but
staff feels that they could serve as a main central module from
which the other structures could be relocated.
Staff will be teViewing the Lambert tot lot on our tour on
Thursday evening and will show how the proposed regrouping
of the existing playgrounds will work and how the central
structure as proposed will fit into the remaining area.

Dear Ms. Miller :
This is just a short note to thank you for all the time and
effort you have exerted in coordinating meetings and neighbors
for the future development of Ardan Park . As per our meeting
requests , we will be working on the following issues during the
• coming months :
1 . Maintenance of ponds for the winter skating .
2 . Bringing hockey nets up to one of the pond areas during
the winter months .
3. Reviewing the playground equipment at Red Oak Elementary
School to see if it might be able to relocate it at Ardan
Park . I would ask that you or one of your neighbors take
a look at the equipment to determine if you would like to
have it placed up at that site before we relocate it.
4 . Possibly a park sign will be constructed in 1984 should
it be approved in the 1984 budget .
5 . The problems with snowmobiles will be addressed with the
Mounds View Sno-mounties Club to see if can at least keep
them in a selected trail area .
6 . The issue of security lighting for the park has been
forwarded on to the Public Works Department and I have
also included a copy of the street lighting ordinance
which outlines procedures should you desire to pursue this
issue further .
7 . A wood chip trail could possibly be developed with one of
our C. E.T. A. crews in 1984 or future years.
8. I am exploring the possibly of some type of trail develop-
ment at Ardan Park utilizing the State Highway Department
property abutting 35W.
1111 9 . I am going to be in contact with the Mosquito Control
District to see how often they spray the area at Ardan Park
since bugs seem to be a problem of some magnitude .

In addition , we will be placingplayground 1 yground signs on Ardan Avenue
during this coming weeks . Unfortunately, we do not have the
signs in stock and they have to be ordered and I hope to have
them within the next two weeks. Please keep be abreast of any
future activities or thoughts from your local neighborhood and in
the meantime we will work on these issues and any others that
your group would like us to address .

RE: Neighborhood Park Planning Council
During the past two months , staff has been working with
the Groveland Park Foundation in developing their program
as well as attempting to start to other neighborhood park
planning councils . Staff has included a copy of the Grove-
land Park Foundation Newsletter which goes out to approximately
600 local residents and includes highlights of their progress
as well as upcoming projects . One of the parks that we will
be stopping at on our tour will be Groveland Park to show you
some of the projects that we have worked on up there including
the development of a new park sign and benches that are being
constructed by the Groveland Park residents . Staff feels that
the Groveland Park Foundation is proceeding very positively
and will prove to be an excellent model for other neighborhood
park planning councils to be established after.
SIn addition, staff has met with Darlene Miller and residents
of the Ardan Park neighborhood to attempt to establish a
second planning group up in the Ardan Park, Greenfield Park and
Oakwood Park areas . There were approximately eight residents
that met with dtaff during the month of July and a. review of their
concerns and issues is included for your review.
Staff would like to invite some general discussion on the
development of park planning councils by the Park Commission
to determine if we are going in the proper direction . One of
the major issues that staff is finding is that developing
five separate park planning councils takes a great deal of
staff time , and it may potentially segment the City more than
we would like to . In addition, the City Council has established
a neighborhood park planning fund as a fairly high priority and
we need to begin discussing initial guidelines as to how a
fund such as that could be utilized by local neighborhood park
groups .

Attention: Mr. Warden
Dear Mr . Warden :
This is just a short note to follow up on our phone conversation
on Monday , August 15 , 1983 regarding the feasibility of your firm
becoming involved in developing a leaf composting program in the
City of Mounds View. As we discussed on the phone , the City of
Mounds View is currently working in conjunction with Ramsey
• County Public Health Department in establishing a leaf composting
program for city residents .
We are inviting each of the rubbish haulers that serve the city
of Mounds View to a meeting to determine if it would be feasible
to have your firm involved with the collection of leaves to be
dropped at a central composting site .
At this time we are wide open to any kinds of concepts that you
may have as professionals regarding how the pick up procedure
might work such as costs , times , dates, and potential problems
ect .
The meeting has been set to review these and other issues for
Thursday, August 18 , 1983 at 2 : 00 p.m. in the Mounds View City
Hall Council Chambers . In addition to myself , I will have rep-
resentatives from Ramsey County Public Health Department to re-
view the composting program and bring you up to date as to where
the city is going with its program.
Should you have any questions regarding the meeting or be unable
to attend , feel free to contact myself directly at 784-3055 ,

As per the Parks and Recreation Commission direction, staff
has been actively pursuing the development of the leaf
composting program for the City of Mounds View. We have been
in close contact with Brian Golob and Zak Hansen from the
Ramsey County Public Health Department for the past two
months . We basically have finalized the program from our
perspective and are currently in the process of promoting
and advertising the program. The major change in the pro-
gram from our last discussion has been the site location
issue . Staff is very much aware that the Park Commission
had prioritized a number of sites for the leaf composting
program with the Moga site and state Highway Department site
c the top two priorities . Unfortunately , neither of those
sites were able to be secured as we could not get permission
from the respective agencies who own the property .
Staff then proposed that we relocate the leaf composting
• program to the west site of the water reservoir next to the
city garages . This site location received a number of
criticisms and concerns from city employees and consequently
the Ardan Park site which was the alternate site selected
by staff and Ramsey County Public Health Department as our
final location. As can be noted in the attached promotion
and publicity literature , we will be commending the leaf
composting program on Saturday , October 22 and running for
approximately 5 weeks through November 13 . The hours that
the site will be open are Saturday, 10 : 00 a.m. - 4 : 30 p .m. ,
Sunday, 12 : 00 - 4 : 30 p .m. and Wednesday, 2 :00 - 4 : 30 p .m.
We are looking forward to this program and feel that it will
be a real asset to the residents within our community .
As a follow-up with that particular program, we have been
meeting with the local rubbish haulers to see if there is
some possible tie-in with leaf pick-up and their existing
rubbish hauling routes . The rubbish haulers are extremely
supportive of the leaf composting program but felt that we
should take it relatively slow in year one to make sure that
the program is organized and properly established before
expanding to include direct leaf pick-up at residential
homes . It has come to our attention that the Metropolitan Solid
Waste Commission has directed the rubbish haulers to reduce their
drop load at local landfills by 15% by 1985 . They currently feel
• that in Mounds View, our leaf pick-up is averaging approximately
25% of their loads on an annual basis . So they have become
extremely cognizant of the need for leaf composting and the haulers
are more than willing to work with us on some type of a fee or
possibly free basis to pick 'Jr) leaves directly from residential
home site .

Lear Composting •
what do you do with the leaves you rake in the ',fall? This year
you can briny them to the City ' s new centralized leaf composting
site , which is the result of a cooperative project between Mounds
1111 View and the Ramsey County Public Health Department . The venture
is part of Ramsey County ' s ongoing emphasis on waste abatement --
reducing the amount of solid waste going to landfills . About
800 tons of leaves are available for composting in Mounds View,
by composting them we are preserving valuable landfill space and
creating a useful end product , humus .
On Saturdays , Sundays and Wednesdays between October 22 and
November 13 , residents will he able to bring their leaves to the
site for disposal . The leaves will then be piled into a windrow
( a long pile ) and watered down . Over the next year the windrow
will be turned over four Limes to aid decomposition . In about
1- 1/2 years , residents will able to pick up the end product ,
which is very useful as a soil amendment . Plans call for the
site t:o be used permanently -- this underscores the City ' s
dedication to composting as an alternative to burying yard waste
in landfills .
ti Composting leaves is an appealing alternative to landfilling them
because it is an environmentally sound means of disposal .
Composting is a natural component of soil . Humus, when applied
to a lawn or garden , helps the soil retain water , reduces surface
crusting and erosion , and increases the organic content of the
soil . When leaves are buried in landfills they use up
increasingly scarce space , decompose slowly , and do not become a
• useful end product . Composting looks even better when the cost
of siting and operating landfills is considered . Composting is , a
low-cost , low- tech disposal method with a good track record :
Nature has been doing it for millions of years .
We can be proud that Mounds View is one of the communities in
Ramsey County that is taking the lead in waste abatement . 13ut
composting can only succeed with widespread community support .
Bring your leaves to our composting site - this fall -- you ' ll
help preserve dwindling landfill space and , in about 18 months ,
will get free dirt to hoot . Here are the details :
1J11ER1; :
Audan Park at the .intersection of Ardan Ave . and
Long Lake Road .
WHAT : Bring leaves ONLY , no brush or other refuse will
he accepted .

What do you do with 30,000 tons of leaves? That is how much
yard waste comes out of Ramsey County each fall, and officials
here are trying to keep those leaves from being buried in landfills .
S The Public Health Department is siting several centralized
composting sites in the northern suburbs and the City of St. Paul,
where the annual autumnal deluge will be converted into a useful
soil amendment. If all goes as planned residents of these areas
will have a free leaf disposal site available in late October and
early November.
The Environmental Health division is cooperating with the
cities of Mounds View, Arden Hills, New Brighton, and Shoreview,
and St. Paul Planning Districts 1, 5, 11, and 16 to locate
suitable sites . The program is part of Ramsey County's ongoing
effort to reduce the amount of refuse going to landfills. At
each site the yard waste will be pushed into piles and composted,
until the leaves have decayed into humus, a rich soil conditioner.
1110
In about 18 months the finished compost will be available for
residents to put on gardens and lawns.

MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Staff
DATE: August 30 , 1983
RE: 1983-84 Budget Priorities
Staff has attached two items regarding budget priority issues
relating to both 1983 and 1984 . The first is a breakdown of
the capital improvement items which were submitted by the
city department heads and have been reviewed by both management
and council . As can be noted in the priority list, there are
four park projects in the top ten priorities of the City Council
including a park projects fund, Random Park tot lot, hockey rink
fencing, and a mower-tractor for the park maintenance division.
The major difficulty was in the capital improvement projects as
proposed by staff is that there is not currently enough money
to even fund the top two priorities . The City Council has
indicated at their August 29 meeting that they would like staff
to at least propose figures as to what increase in taxes would
be required to fund the top ten projects , but at this time no
committment has been made to any of the proposed capital requests
and staff will keep the commission apprised of any change or
•
progress in this issue .
In addition, staff has included the Y
Augustprint-outs for your
9
review to give you an idea of the kind of budgetary information
that staff receives on a monthly basis as well as to give you
an opportunity to ask any questions as to where dollars are being
allocated or the status of our budget at its mid-year point.
As staff indicated, we receive print-outs similar to this on a
monthly basis for not only recreation and park accounts but also
recreation activity, forestry and Lakeside Park . It appears at
this time from preliminary observations that staff will be able
to maintain our existing level of service within budget for the
remainder of 1983 .
Major issues that the Park Commission needs to discuss in this
area are any potential discussion or further support data that
may want to be provided to the City Council for capital improve-
ment projects as well as respond to any questions you may have
or concerns about the 1983 budget update .

MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission
• FROM: Staff Ak,,41111
DATE : August 30 , 1983
RE : Aquatic Coordinator Position
The Mounds View City Council authorized the hiring of Ms .
Maureen Thielen on August 22, 1983 as the part-time aquatics
coordinator for the City of Mounds View as per the Parks and
Recreation Commission direction . Ms . Thielen will be attend-
ing the September 1 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting
to provide a brief review of her background and discuss
potential modifications in the City ' s aquatics program. In
addition to the introduction to Ms . Thielen, staff has included
a copy of the memorandum of understanding and/or employment
agreement with Ms . Thielen as well as the joint powers agreement
with the school district. Staff is extremely excited to have
someone of the caliber of Maureen on staff with us and we feel
that there will be some major changes that will develop in
our year-round aquatic program at both Lakeside Park and the
Edgewood Community Center pool .
The Lakeside Park Beach program drew to a close on Sunday, August
28 with a fairly successful summer swimming program. It has
• become apparent already through Ms . Thielen's observations that
there are a number of changes that need to made at the beach
such as closer supervision of the guards , modifications to the
building and a review of the existing raft locations . One of
the major issues that developed during the summer of 1983 was
that we combined the Edgewood Pool staff and the outdoor beach
staff for the first time into one cohesive unit . We found this
to be a very positive change and we would envision that we would
utilize a combined staff in the future .
In addition, September-October we have included copies of the
P
City Newsletter which includes the fall swimming program which
has been expanded to include six daytime swimming sessions as
well as a full compliment of Saturday and evening classes . Hope-
fully with the addition of ,Ms . Thielen, we will be able to pro-
vide a better aquatics background and update for the commission
on a quarterly basis during the coming year .
