Dear Parks and Recreation Commissioners:
This is just a short note to remind you of our regularly sche-

improvements to the two parks.

with an update provided on Greenfield Park and on the park fund-
ing task force committee .
As Commissioners Long and Bowman will not be in attendance , I
would appreciate you contacting our office on Thursday should you
be unable to attend , to ensure we will have a quorum for Thurs-

OAK SCHOOL SITE AND mitted for the development of a soccer field
SILVER VIEW PARK complex at the Red Oak School Site property
and Phase II development of Silver View Park .
Staff reviewed correspondence from the School
District outlining the School District' s
interest in providing a long term lease to
the City for the development of an athletic
complex should the grant be approved . Dis-
cussion at the Red Oak School Site centered
around the parking lot area and it was stated
by the Commissioners; that the existing bitu-
minous parking lot should remain with the
proposed parking utilized as a neighborhood
baseball/softball field . Staff concurred
with this design change and a general concen-
sus of the grant proposal for Red Oak was
agreed upon .
The Commission then reviewed the Phase II
development at Silver View Park which propos-
es construction of four tennis courts, bitu-
minous parking lot, bollards , completion of
the trail , and bridge construction.
4110
-2-
The Commission stated that all the improve-
ments as outlined were needed , especially
upgrading the parking lot due to the vandal-
ism and heavy traffic the that Silver View •
Park parking lot currently generates. Staff
also indicated that there were a number of
residents calling to request a bridge accross
the pond, which wouldalleviate walking behind
the single family homes, as well as complet-
ing the trail loop.The Commission agreed that
the Phase II grant for Silver View Park was a
necessary improvement to the City' s park sys-
tem.
GREENFIELD PARK UPDATE Staff reviewed correspondence that was for-
warded to the abutting property owners of
Greenfield Park and indicated that the time-
frame for the site was currently behind
scheduled but that all of the initial ground-
work and planning has been completed. Staff
then reviewed the written report regarding
additional bid proposals for projects that
could be completed due to the favorable bid
by Midwest Asphalt. The four proposed pro-
jects are as follows :
1 . Additional car parking lot with
concrete curb and gutter at the
corner of Hillview and Quincy $2, 600
4111
2. Security lighting for tennis
court and parking lot area $3 ,000
3. Horseshoe courts to be con-
structed at the corner of
Hillview and Quincy $8 , 000
4 . Additional trail loops
based on 1 ,850 lin .ft. at
$3.00/1in . ft. $5, 550
Staff further indicated that with each of the
proposed modifications, we would still be
within the $180 ,000 budget.
Follow general discussion of the Greenfield
Park plan , a motion was made by Chairperson
Burmeister , seconded by Commissioner Linnell
to direct staff to develop an RFP and/or work
with the consultant to establish bid specifi-
cations for the four additional park projects
as outlined. The motion passed unanimously:
7 ayes , 0 nayes.

REVIEW STATUS OF Staff indicated that ordinance 391 was
ORDINANCE 391 approved by a unanimous vote by the Mounds

• duled May 13 meeting . The only modification
the Council made in the initial ordinance was
that non-resident organizations would not be
eligible to secure a permit to sell beer
within the City ' s park system.
DISCUSSION ON TASK Staff reviewed a memorandum regarding poten-
FORCE FOR PARK FUNDING tial individuals to serve on the ad hoc task
ALTERNATIVES force . After staff reviewed the individuals ,
staff requested any additional names or input
regarding the process. A number of names
were recommended and staff indicated that a
letter would be drafted prior to the next
Commission meeting to determine the interest
of the individuals that were suggested.
STAFF REPORT Staff reviewed a memorandum from Rita Docken ,
the City Energy Coordinator, regarding the
changes in the City' s recycling program with
Recycling Unlimited no longer providing ser-
vices to the City. The Commission reviewed
the proposal and felt that it was an item
that should be addressed by the Energy Com-
mission and that any formal requests to util-
ize park facilities or Park and Recreation
• Staff should be presented to the Commission
and they would act on each specific proposal.
ADJOURNMENT A motion was made by Commission Linnell ,

imously: 7 ayes , 0 nayes.

RE: Greenfield Park Update
As you are aware , Staff is proposing a brief tour of Greenfield
Park prior to the Commission meeting on Thursday, but a brief up-
date as to our progress to date is as follows :
1 . We have completed the first lift for the tennis court/basket-
ball/bang board area .
2. The underground wiring has been installed for the tennis
courts as well as pouring of the footings for the light
standards.
3 . Fence posts should be in place by Thursday evening for the
exterior perimeter fence .
4 . The initial trail base and a small section of bituminous
trail section has been laid.
5. The additional fill has finally been secured and should be on
site by Thursday.
11116. Staff is meeting with the Rice Creek Watershed District on
Wednesday, June 26 to receive formal approval for the two
bridge crossings.
7 . A grant has been received for Twin City Tree Trust for staff-
ing and supplies for the construction of the bridges.
8 . We have dug and framed the footings for the first bridge and
cleared out the trail area .
9 . The storm sewer extension has been completed.
10. The trail loop has been roughed in with the D3 cat and is
ready for the base to be applied.
Staff will be reviewing major site problems at Thursday' s tour.
The one item that recently came up this week is the "flip-
flopping" of the tennis court/basketball area , to minimize the
construction damage to the two red oaks on the westside of the
tennis court area. Staff has also included a copy of some cor-
respondence with Midwest Asphalt indicating some of the modifica-
tions and changes that have been made to date with the contrac-
tor .
Once again , we will be touring this site on Thursday evening to
give you a first hand observation of our park progress to date.

Dear Mr. Peterson :
This is just a short note to follow up on our phone conversation
• on Monday , June 10 , 1985 regarding the modifications to the
Greenfield Park project. The following items need to be adhered
to as outlined in the original bid specifications:
1 . We need to have the necessary compaction test taken on the
tennis court base prior to the bituminous being laid. The
compaction test should be presented to David Warzala at
Barton-Aschman Assoc . , 332-0421 , prior to installing the two
lifts of bituminous.
2. We are willing to accept the 4 inches of recycled bituminous
as a base for the bituminous trail in place of class 5, based
on the understanding that you will place an additional 2
inches of class 5 material over the bituminous prior to plac-
ing the final trail overlay.
3 . The northeast corner of the tennis courts needs to have the
ag lime replaced with class 5 material and the entire base
needs to be re-rolled prior to installation of the bituminous
surface.
4 . I have attached a drawing as to how we want the corrigated
pipe to be installed which recommends that an 8 - 10 foot
swath, 12 inches deep, of material be excavated underneath
the trail area and the geotextile fabric would then be placed
down with 12 inches of granular material on top of that and
• the 12 inch pipe would then be placed at grade level with 12
inches of granular material placed over the top of that.
Should you have any questions regarding the installation of
that culvert , please contact either myself or Dave Warzala at
Barton-Ashman .
-2-
In addition, the City will be retaining Barton-Ashman to have an
inspector on site commencing Thursday, June 13 , 1985 to answer •
any questions or respond to any concerns you have , from 1: 30 -
3 : 30 p.m. , Monday - Friday.
Lastly, I have been actively seeking out additional fill for the
northeast corner of the soccer field and would appreciate any
assistance you may be able to provide in locating fill to com-
plete the necessary soccer field area as well as the two berms.
Should you have any questions regarding the status of this pro-
ject, please feel free to contact myself directly at 784-3055,

DATE: June 26 , 1985
RE: Monthly Staff Update
JUNE , 1985
The following issues and programs are outlined to provide the
Commission with a better overview of our department' s day to day
operation . Each of the listed items are strictly information
oriented and not intended for formal Commission action .
1 . Park Vandalism - We have experienced some severe park vandal-
ism once again at Silver View Park during the past two weeks.
The damage included the loss of 12 flowering crabs on top of
the amphitheater and also two blue spruce had the top 5 feet
snapped off of them. We have taken pictures of the damage
and will be placing an article in the local newspaper to
attempt to bring more public notice to this issue .
1111 2 . City Composting Site - We have made available a key for the
City composting site so that people can come in and pick up
compost throughout the summer now that the site is closed for
the year . Although we haven' t had a great number of requests
for this service , it appears to be beneficial , and we will be
advertising it in future newsletters to let people know
compost can be secured throughout the year .
3. J .P.T.A. Crew - The City has submitted and once again receiv-
ed approval for the summer J .P.T.A. Grant program. We cur-
rently have nine young people working under the grant program
and as in the past years , it is hard to imagine trying to
maintain our current level of services without their assis-
tance . We have found the young people to be extremely cooper-
ative and skilled in the areas they are working in and feel
fortunate to have them as a part of our staff . One of the
strongest assets of the J.P.T.A. program has been the addi-
tion of Deanna Mortenson , who is returning to assist us in
the clerical division for the fifth consecutive year.
-2-
4 . Aquatics Director - The City is currently negotiating with 411/
the City of New Brighton to develop a joint powers agreement
for a combined Aquatics Director on a full-time basis for
1986 . We are very excited about this possibility and will be
apprising the Commission of further progress as it is made .
In addition , it should be noted that Maureen Thielen , our
current City Aquatics Director has tentatively assumed a new
position in the Grand Rapids School District as a teacher for
1985-86 and at this time , we do not envision replacing the
position during her absence .
5. City Computer System - The City has been working with the
Management Advisors Consulting Firm to establish a City-wide
computer system. A formal report will be presented to the
City Council on Monday, July 1. Staff is extremely excited
about this proposal , as the Parks and Recreation Department
is one of the departments scheduled to be upgraded and com-
puterized in 1986 , which will greatly improve our service
level to our residents.
6. Senior Boys Softball Tournament - Our department is sponsor-
4111
ing a senior boys softball tournament this weekend at Silver
View Park. We currently have five teams enrolled in the
tournament and we are hoping for eight before the tournament
commences. This is the first time our department has offered
a tournament for this age level and we are excited to be a
part of the growing youth softball movement.

RE: Groveland Park playground equipment
Enclosed is a staff memorandum that was submitted to the Mounds
View City Council for their review at their regularly scheduled
June 10 , 1985 City Council meeting. As can be noted, the recom-
mendation was to purchase the Durascape Plus playground equipment
from Gametime in an amount not to exceed $15,000 based on the
formal bid proposals. The funding was based on the $5,000 Neigh-
,
borhood
eigh-
borhood Park Planning Fund Grant, $7 , 500 from the Groveland Park
Foundation and $2, 500 from the MSA Bond Fund. Staff has also
included a copy of the schematic of the proposed playground
equipment which gives a better feel for the specific equipment
that was purchased.
The major reason this equipment was selected by the Groveland
Park Foundation Directors was because we received a very favor-
•
able bid proposal and also the Groveland Park Foundation felt it
had the best play value , as well as variety of equipment.
Staff is especially pleased that the City Council allocated an
additional $2 , 500 from the MSA Bond Fund to match the Groveland
Park Foundation and Neighborhood Park Planning Fund to make the
playground equipment a reality. Staff will have additional bro-
chures outlining the Durascape product at Thursday evening ' s
meeting .

RE : Groveland Park Playground Equipment
During the past three months, City staff has been working with
the Groveland Park Foundation to upgrade the existing playground
equipment currently located at Groveland Park. The process was
initiated in March of this year when tours were conducted with
the Groveland Park Board of Directors to a number of local play-
ground sites to observe first hand the variety of playground
equipment that is available . Following the tour of five differ-
ent sites, bid specifications were prepared and forwarded to
seven major playground manufacturing firms located within the
Twin Cities area. Four proposals were submitted and formally
reviewed by the Groveland Foundation Board of Directors at a
special meeting on Wednesday, June 5 , 1985.
A schematic of the playground equipment that was selected by the
Groveland Park Foundation is enclosed for your review and avail-
able through GameTime and entitled Durascape+. The equipment is
all aluminum, with redwood decks and , as can be noted , fairly
extensive in nature , with five major slide beds and five large
deck areas with an additional six climbing or entry points. In
• addition to the major structure that is shown, a pre-school
structure has also been proposed , which includes a space net,
slide and deck area. In addition, the equipment will be complet-
ed with three spring animals, two backhoe diggers and a redwood
slat swinging bench.
The total cost of the equipment is $15 ,000 including tax and
delivery. As you are aware , the Groveland Park Foundation has
been conducting a number of fundraisers during the past three
years, and has been utilizing their funds to develop Groveland
Park with new facilities including sand volleyball court, City
park sign , shrubbery, landscaping and bench areas. The Groveland
Park tot lot project is the first project that is being proposed
under the Neighborhood Park Planning Fund and the Park Foundation
has broached the Park and Recreation Commission in 1984 and 1985
for a $2 ,500 matching fund. The Park and Recreation Commission
has approved the two Neighborhood Park Planning Fund grants, as
they have met all the criteria outlined in the fund guidelines.
Based on the approved $5,000 Neighborhood Park Planning Fund
grant, and an additional match of $7 ,500 from the Groveland Park
Foundation funds, the Foundation currently has $12 , 500 available
for funding the project. Staff presented this issue to the City
Department Heads at their regularly scheduled staff meeting , and
City Administrator Pauley has indicated that the remaining $2, 500
could be funded from the proceeds from closing out the MSA bond
fund , as it appears that the Administrative Aide position , which
1111
he had hoped would be approved , was not.
-2-
Staff recently met with Honeywell , Inc. who has donated $2,000 in
the past for the Neighborhood Park Planning Fund , to request an
additional $50 ,000 to fund the Neighborhood Park Planning Fund .
Staff feels it is imperative to get a major project " in the
ground" , to be able to showcase how the Neighborhood Park Plan-
ning Fund can be used to develop other neighborhood parks and
community facilities.
In conclusion , staff feels that the Groveland Park Foundation has
done extensive groundwork in researching and developing fund
raising activities for the purchase of this playground equipment .
Staff would recommend that the equipment be purchased as out-
lined, based on the funding sources as provided.
RECOMMENDATION : Recommend approval of a Durascape+ playground
equipment for Groveland Park in an amount not to exceed $15 ,000
based on the formal bid proposal received from Minnesota Play-
ground, Inc . with the project to be funded from the following
three sources :
$5. 000 Neighborhood Park Planning Fund
$7 , 500 Groveland Park Foundation
$2 , 500 MSA Bond Fund

Dear Parks & Recreation Commissioners :
This is just a short note to remind you of our regularly sche-
duled Park Commission meeting on Thursday, May 23 , 1985. The
meeting will commence at 6 : 30 p.m. with a brief tour of two park
areas including Red Oak Park and Silver View Park. Staff would
like to review recent park improvements as well as discuss future
1111 grant applications at each of the two sites.
The major items we will be reviewing are Greenfield Park pro-
gress, as well as Chapter 52 .03 regarding alcohol consumption in
the parks.
Should you have any questions regarding the enclosed information
or be unable to attend Thursday' s meeting , feel free to contact
myself directly at 784-3055, ext. #20 .
Sincerely,
