CHAIRMEN ' S REPORT There was no report.
COUNCILMEMBER' S REPORT Councilmember Doty indicated that the long
term financial plan had been formally adopted
by the Mounds View City Council , which out-
lined an annual expenditure of $50 ,000 for
park development to be allocated from the
City' s interest from defeasance . Councilmem-
ber Doty indicated that he felt this was a
major step forward for the Parks Department
and felt that it would provide a good base
for future development. He also indicated
that the Greenfield Park development plan
language should indicate that the judicial
ditches #1 and #5 are being restored to their
prior condition and that no additional dred-
ging or modification of the wetlands is plan-
ned.
FORESTRY UPDATE Staff reviewed the9YP Y s moth problem that
GYPSY MOTH PROBLEM
1111 had evolved in early October . Staff indicat-
ed that no egg masses were found within the
City, but state and federal agricultural
agents feel very strongly that gypsy moth has
been introduced into our community. At this
time , no spraying measures are being recom-
mended by the federal
2-• -2-
1111
agriculture department as it as been past
policy to only spray when egg masses have
been detected . It was further indicated by
staff that the inspection process and inter-
views with the residents had gone without any
problems in early October and staff stated
that the Parks and Recreation Commission
would be continually updated on this issue .
GREENFIELD PARK Staff distributed copies of a request for
CONSULTANT SELECTION proposal that had been developed to receive
STUDY proposals from engineering and landscape
architect firms for Phase I Greenfield Park
Development. The RFP outlined a specific
scope of services which would provide the
Park and Recreation Commission a better han-
dle on comparing firms rather than making an
open end process.
Staff indicated that in addition to the final
bid proposal process, he felt that the Park
Commission should be involved in interviewing
the finalists , following the review of pro-
posals, with the final selection being made
at a special meeting . A proposed time line
• was reviewed by staff with proposals to be
returned by late November and a firm selected
in early December . Chairperson indicated
that time is of the essence in that due to
•
the hydrolics and special engineering re-
quired for this project, a firm with some
engineering background would be of great help
He further indicated that a special meeting
should be established to review the RFPs once
that are submitted. A motion was then made
by Commissioner Bowman , seconded by Commis-
sion Long to direct staff to forward request
to solicite proposals from area engineering
and landscape architect consultants based on
the scope of services provided and that a
special Park Commission meeting be estab-
lished in December to review and interview
the finalists. The motion passed unanimous-
ly, 4 ayes, 0 nays.
COMPOST PROGRAM UPDATE Staff distributed a memo of the City' s com-
post program which commenced operation for
the fall season on October 17 , 1984 . Staff
indicated that the modifications suggested by
the Park Commission to add a second for a
straight drive-thru , has been extremely posi-
tive• and enabling the traffic to flow through
the site with back-ups at a minimum.
-3-
ID It was also indicated by staff that in the
spring of 1985 , we would be able to advertise
availability of compost. At this time staff
did not feel it would be difficult to recycle
the material back into the community. The
Parks and Recreation Commission indicated
their support of the program and felt that it
would be continued in both the spring and
fall of 1985 .
FALL RECREATION Staff distributed a copy of the November-
PROGRAM UPDATE December City Newsletter highlighting some of
the fall recreation program offerings. One
of the new program offerings staff reviewed
was "Get into a leisure affair" , which of-
fered a review of four high-risk recreation
programs including white water canoeing , sky-
diving , scuba diving and ultra-lights.
In addition , staff indicated that on November
17 , there would be a ski and skate swap at
Edgewood Community Center which was expected
to draw between 300 - 500 people . Other pro-
grams discussed were the "Lunch with Santa"
program coordinated with the Mounds View Jay-
4111 cee Women and the "Pre-School Holiday Story
and Craft" classes. Commission Bowman indi-
cated that she had heard some concerns that
our department allowed registrations on the
bus for future Gadabouts programs and that
the general public was not being allowed to
register on a regular basis. Staff indicated
that we would discontinue this process and
have an open registration process for all
programs.
STAFF REPORT Staff has no further report.

STAFF INTRODUCTION Staff introduced Mr . Barry Warner and Mr.
Dave Warzala representing Barton-Aschmann and
Associates and provided a brief background
• regarding the concept plans that the
Commission would be reviewing . Staff
indicated that a number of meetings had been
held between staff and our consulting
engineers and that two concept plans had been
developed for the Commission' s review. There
were a number of major changes that were
included with this initial concept plan and
staff reviewed each of them individually.
1 . The baseball field had to be reduced to
260 ft . foul lines due to space
limitations.
2 . Playground equipment was relocated
towards the center of the park.
3. The entrance road and parking lots were
kept to a minimum due to cost
considerations.
4 . Staff indicated that we have proposed an
additional bang board and hard court
surface north of the proposed tennis
courts.
1111 Consulting Engineers Warzala and Warner then
reviewed the plan in detail indicating the
following specific items:
-2-
1 . The parking lot would consist of 26 park-
1111
ing spaces with handicapped access avail-
able in the northwest corner.
2 . An information kiosk was included to
serve as a focal point off the parking
lot , directly north of the proposed site .
3. Major berm areas were established to buf-
fer the baseball/softball area from the
tot lot as well as berming along Hillview
Road.
4 . The proposed soccer field could not be
extended beyond a 50 x 70 yd. area.
5. The proposed trail system in Greenfield
Park would be crushed limestone rather
than the initial bituminous surface .
6. The tennis courts would be lit with an
automatic timer system which would not
include a coin operation .
Barton-Aschmann also indicated that there
would be two scheduled meetings with the Rice
Creek Watershed District before final appro-
val• of the plan could be developed , but at
this time , they did not envision any major
problems.
The Park Commission asked a number of ques •
-
tions regarding the plan including trail sur-
face material , bridge construction and fenc-
ing for the baseball field. The consultants
responded to each of the questions. In addi-
tion , Commissioner Long questioned the pro-
posed time frame as to whether or not we
would be able to meet an early May construc-
tion start. At this time , Mr. Warner indi-
cated that they were still on schedule and
felt that a early May construction would
still be feasible .
A motion was made by Commissioner Long ,
seconded by Commissioner Silvis to recommend
to approve the concept plan as presented and
direct the consultants to work with staff to
develop a formal master plan for formal City
Council approval.
ADJOURMENT A motion was made by Commissioner Bowman,

•ARK MAINTENANCE ISSUES Staff reviewed the existing status of the
park maintenance department and indicated
that the existing structure of having park
maintenance report to our department directly
has been quite positive although administra-
tive time had been reduced in other areas.
Mayor Linke questioned what types of problems
had evolved with the split in the public
works department. Staff responded that there
was some dissension between the men that has
occurred during the split, but that he felt
time would solve the problems at hand. Staff
reviewed the park maintenance standards and
indicated that eventually dollar amounts
would be placed to the various levels of ser-

for budgeting in the future . Mayor Linke
indicated that it would also serve as an
excellent planning tool when developing and
expanding proposed park lands.

parks and open space plan and indicated that
it had been formally adopted by the City
Council in 1982 and was currently being used
• as the major planning tool for future park
development decisions.

ed March 17 , 1983 outlining new directions
for the Parks and Recreation Commission and
City Council . The City Council reviewed it

GREENFIELD PARK Staff indicated that the purpose of the
DEVELOPMENT special meeting was to review the final bid
documents and specifications for Greenfield
Park, as well as review the master plan draw-
ings. Staff reviewed the process that had
occurred to date in relationship with Barton-
Aschmann and Associates and indicated that
the project was still on schedule . Staff
reviewed the changes in the park plan from
the original concept plan which included the
following:
1 . Due to space limitations, the baseball
fields left and right foul lines were
reduced 10 feet.
2. The grading plan was revised to reduce
approximately 8 ,000 cu. yds. of fill.
3. The soccer field was lowered approximate-
ly 6 inches to accommodate the revised
grading plan .
4 . The estimated cost projections did not
include three items:
• A. Construction of the three bridges
over judicial ditch #1 and #5.
B. Contract for services with the engin-
eering firm.
C. Purchase of new playground equipment.

1111 Following staff ' s brief introduction of
the project, Director Anderson introduced
Dave Warzala and Barry Warner from Barton-
Aschmann who reviewed the plan in greater
detail including :
1. The lighting system on the tennis
courts. There was a discussion follow-
ing this issue centering around the
problem of the time clock with the
lights being left on as once they were
turned on . Mr. Warzala indicated that
it had been his experience that the
time clocks and coin meters were not
cost effective as vandalism was often
greater than the revenue received. In
addition we would be putting in metal
halide fixtures which are relatively
economical to run . The lights were
presently scheduled to shut off at
11:00 p.m. , but if that was a problem,
Mr. Warzala indicated that the timer
could be reset.
2. The cost estimates were reviewed regard-
ing the addition of the hard court area
1111 north of the tennis courts. It was not-
ed in the cost estimates that we were
still within budget with the addition of
the hard court surface area.
3. The need to remove existing trees was
discussed and staff indicated that City
Forester Wriskey has been informed of
this issue and that it would be complet-
ed in house .
Following the report of the consultants, a
motion was made by Commissioner Silvis, se-
conded by Commissioner Long to recommend that
a bid opening date of April 17 , 1985 be es-
tablished for Phase I of Greenfield Park
development. Motion passed unanimously, 5
ayes, 0 nays.
1984 ANNUAL REPORT Staff briefly discussed the information that
was distributed; including departmental goals
and objectives, aquatics annual report, for-
estry annual report and recreation annual
report. Staff indicated that a complete

item for the March 28 , 1985 Commission meet-
ing .

DATE: March 27 , 1985 �i
RE: Consumption of alcoholic beverages in the city parks
As you are aware , staff forwarded a memo from Jan Quick, Chair-
person of the Mounds View Festivities Commission at our last
meeting requesting that the Parks and Recreation Commission
review ordinance 52 .03 regarding the consumption of alcoholic
beverages in the City park system. The current City ordinance
bans all consumption , sale and possession of alcoholic beverages
within the City park system. The reason for the request is that
the Festivities Commission is considering some type of beer con-
cession as an activity during the "Festival in the Park" .
The Parks and Recreation Commission initially recommended to the
City Council that consumption of alcohol be made available on a
permit basis which would be approved by the Parks and Recreation
Director and ultimately by the City Council at City Hall and Sil-
ver View Parks.
The Mounds View City Council did not approve that recommendation
• and the current ordinance banning alcoholic consumption in the
parks is the official position of the City. Since the ordinance
has been put into effect, no permits have been allowed by the
City for consumption of alcohol , but beer is still consummed fol-
lowing softball games at City Hall and Silver View Parks as well
as during weekend picnics. To date , we have not experienced any
problems with the beer that is consummed.
Staff ' s position on the issue is that consumption of beer by
individuals of legal age has not been a problem in the past and
that difficulties occur when kegs and large groups of people
gather for parties. The Police Department supports staff ' s posi-
tion that drinking has not been a problem and that there are a
number of ordinances which can be used to "break up" unruly
crowds, i .e . loitering , disorderly conduct, etc. Secondly, by
establishing a permit process, we would have better control over
who is selling beer and be able to regulate the insurance and
accountability issues.
Staff would recommend that the existing ordinance 52.03 be elim-
inated and that we not directly address the issue either way and
that a permit system be established for sale of alcohol similar
to the Richfield ordinance that was distributed at the last meet-
ing .This is a difficult issue for staff to address and I would
encourage each of the Commissioners to personally review this
1111 issue so that we can have a discussion of how you would like to
see the ordinance enforced and established.

RE: Establishment of task force for park funding
alternatives
Staff has placed this item on the agenda for some general discus-
sion regarding the feasibility of requesting the City Council to
appoint a task force to review possible funding alternatives.
Staff ' s reason for bringing this issue up is that at our present
funding level , ( $50 ,000 per year for park development projects) ,
we are not able to keep pace with the demands on our recreational
facilities. There are a number of alternatives that could be
pursued for optional funding included referendums, special tax
district funding and joint development with private industry.
Staff does not have any specific thoughts or recommendations at
• this time other than to establish a task force , who would be
charged with reporting to the City Council as to how we might
begin implementing the parks and open space master plan. I feel
that with the new Councilmembers, we should have a very receptive •
Council , willing to explore alternative funding sources.
Two specific thoughts that staff has on this issue are the status
of the golf course project, i .e . Miller sub-division , and second-
ly the possibility of a future referendum that could be geared or
tied in with some of the local athletic associations requests or
needs. Again this item is a discussion item rather than a speci-
fic action item for Thursday' s agenda.

DATE: March 27, 1985
RE: Groveland Park Foundation request for funding
Attached is a request form from the Groveland Park Foundation
requesting a $2 , 500 match for their long term project of develop-
ing a creative play environment at Groveland Park. Staff has met
with the Groveland Park Foundation to review the development of a
creative play environment at Groveland Park and we have received
two formal bids for equipment ranging from $14 ,000 - $16 ,000.
As you are aware , the Groveland Park Foundation submitted a re-
quest in September , 1984 for a $2, 500 match and this second
request would be for an additional $2 ,500. It is my understand-
ing that the Groveland Park Foundation would take the $5,000
grant from the City' s Neighborhood Park Planning Fund and match
1111 it with an additional $5 ,000 which would make for $10 ,000 ,and
than add an additional $2,500 from the savings, which would make
$12 ,500. They would then request that the City Council "ear
mark" $2,500 from contingency to put the entire package together.
Staff has been in touch with Honeywell , Inc . and Jon Pekel, on
three separate occasions in the past three months, and Honeywell
has requested that they would like to have a project underway
prior to a second grant. Based on Groveland Park Foundations
past record and their interest in this project to date , staff
would recommend the approval of a second $2 ,500 request so that
we can have a project completed and get the necessary publicity

RECREATION AND FORESTRY
March 12 , 1985
Dear Parks and Recreation Commissioners :
This is just a short note to remind you of our regularly sched-
uled Park Commission meeting on Thursday, March 14 , 1985. The
meeting will be held at 6: 30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Cham-
al bers and the main topic of discussion will be Greenfield Park.
At this time , I have reserved the entire meeting to review the
documents for Greenfield Park and I envision that we will need to
schedule a regular Park Commission meeting for Thursday, March
28 , 1985 to deal with the myriad of items that are currently
before us.
In addition to the discussion with Barton Aschman and Assoc . , I
have included a rough draft of a part of our 1984 Annual Report.
We will be discussing the Annual Report and its format at our
meeting on Thursday, and any comments you may have regarding the
enclosed information will be welcomed.
I look forward to meeting with you on Thursday, and should your
schedule not permit you to attend , please contact myself directly
at 784-3055 , ext. #20 .

OBJECTIVES FOR RECREATION 1985
1 . The Wellness/Healthy Lifestyle emphasis in programming
• community recreation classes has been born . A primary
objective for 1985 will be to nurture the already estab-
lished wellness programs and continue to introduce the
public to new wellness programs on an on-going basis.
This will include continued marketing of existing programs
and introductory programs. Considering that such self-
improvement classes take time to "catch on" , I will not be
discouraged , but continue to educate the public with in-
troductory clinics. Four wellness classes will be offered
in the January-February, March-April , June-July and Sep-
tember-October brochures.
2 . The most popular and sustaining programs are the adult
athletic leagues. Currently eleven leagues are offered .
I wish to expand leagues to include :
Tennis League at Edgewood Courts
Horseshoe League at City Hall
Table Tennis League at City Hall
Sandlot Volleyball Leagues at Silver View
1111
The objective is to add these four additional leagues to
our program in 1985.
3 . Another objective for 1985 is to offer opportunities for
unstructured , personal , individual fitness. Equipment
available will include a weight training , hydraulic
machine and supplimentary gadgets for fitness including
jump ropes, hand weights, and exercise bicycle . This ob-
jective will be achieved with interagency cooperation to
establish an adequate facility, program supervision , and
publicity.
4 . An on-going committment to lifelong leisure opportunities
will continue to be a priority. Such programs as cross
country skiing , tennis, golf , orchestra, choir , swimming ,
and fitness will continue to be offered and expanded upon .
This objective will require the development of a philoso-
phical statement to be followed by in the pursuit of life-
long leisure programming. A separate flyer will be print-
ed and inserted into a brochure depicting lifelong leisure
41/1 activities and the benefits derived from their participa-
tion .
-2-
5 . Another priority will be to expand programming during the
daytime at Edgewood Community Center through coordination 1111
of existing programs and other agencies. Opportunities
should include tiny tot and adult activities. The activi-
ties must become structured with supervision . A part-time
activity supervisor is warranted at this time to ensure
that programs have the required personal supervision .
I see the need to employ a part-time supervisor of activi-
ties offered at Edgewood Community Center:
7 : 00 a.m. - 1 : 00 p.m. Monday, Wednesday & Friday
6 . After conducting an inventory of last year' s programs, I
see a void in areas of cultural arts and family activi-
ties. The cultural arts programs have been organized but
not established . I hope to provide greater public aware-
ness of the existing cultural arts programs through mar-
keting targeted at groups such as churches, schools,
groups and organizations. I will submit two proposals for
grant monies offered to communities for cultural arts pur-
suits. 410
7 . With the purchase of a new camera, I hope to create a pho-
tography bank of prints and slides to be used for newspap-
er print , slide presentations and brochure copy. I will
take a roll of pictures each month.
8 . Finally I wish to personally scrutinize each and every
program or activity offered to ensure that it indeed fol-
lows a Healthy Lifestyle theme , thus providing a spriritu-
al , physical , or mental benefit to the participant.
n will develop a Healthy Lifestyle criteria for programs.
HIGHLIGHTS AND PITFALLS
1984 was the year that Healthy Lifestyle activities were added as
• a new dimension to the recreational programs. The concept is to
incorporate an overall benefit to participants who participate in
physical activities as well as "having fun" doing an activity.
Therefore , enjoyment and health benefits have become two over-
riding criteria in the establishment of department sponsored
recreational activities. The birth of this new programming con-
cept has provided the department with good reasoning for provid-
ing recreational and healthy lifestyle activities . . . a right to
happiness and enjoyment and health and fitness through the pur-
suit of recreational activities.
Establishment of this overriding criteria in programming rather
than the special Healthy Lifestyle classes themselves has been a
highlight in recreational programming 1984 .
The pitfall of the last year has been the new and specialized
Healthy Lifestyle classes. These classes were initiated with
great zeal and energy in publicity and planning . However, the
participation of such classes was miserably low. This is due
primarily because of the nature of the classes. The classes
4111 tended to be more informational rather than participatory and
often were dependent upon behavioral change by participants
therefore offering an air of intimidation . Such programs in-
clude : Healthy Eating Habits, Health Awareness, Stress Manage-
ment , Listening and Assertiveness, Chemical and Alcohol Aware-
ness, Freedom from Smoking , Women ' s Healthy Awareness , Using Your
Food Intake Effectively, Weight Loss Support Group, Retirement
Workshop, Personal and Family Communications , and Nutrition Nib-
lings for Seniors.
On the other hand , participatory classes have seen success in
numbers. These classes include : Thinning your Thighs and Slim-
ming your Hips , Jazz Exercise , Open Basketball , Open Volleyball ,
Men ' s Basketball League , Floor Hockey League , Ice Hockey League ,
Softball Leagues and Football League ( not to mention instruction-
al classes such as golf and tennis) .
Programming activities in 1984 has given me a clear direction for
programming in 1985 . This direction is in participatory activi-
ties which lend a re-creative opportunity for the physical , men-
()
tal and spiritual improvement of participants. Such activities
may include : Sport leagues , exercise and conditioning programs,
fitness programs, and lifelong activities such as badminton , ten-
nis , golf , jogging , and table tennis .

REVENUES EXPENDITURES
$25 , 368 . 10 $27 , 241 .88
Negative balance . . . . $1 ,873 .78
The 351 fund shows a deficit because of the expenses of the
Community Theater Production ( approximately $4 ,000 .00 ) and the
Puppet Wagon ( approximately $538 . 59 ) . The Puppet Wagon is not a
fee supported programand therefore does not expect to come out
even .
The Community Theater Production had a deficit of $2 ,981 .00 with
$4 ,000 . 00 expenditures and $1 ,019 . 00 receipts.
Capital Imrpvements from fund 351 include :
Display letters $108 . 32
Stereo speakers $ 99 .90

352 ADULT RECREATION
• REVENUES EXPENDITURES
$30 ,598 .90 $20 , 318 .00
Postive balance of $10 , 280 .90
The 352 fund shows a positive balance because of adult sport fees
and outsider fees for non-resident participants. Also, the gada-
bout trips usually provide revenue while still providing a good
price to participants because of the benefits of group prices and
mass transportation .
Capital expenditures from fund 352 include :
Paint sprayer $950 . 00
Channel posts 911 .80
Track setter 400 . 00
• The wellness program ran into a deficit because of the Health
Fair which did not require fees. The costs were approximately
$606 .00.
Chalk was also purchased for field lining and markings at a price
of $654 .00.

REVENUES EXPENDITURES

$2 ,484 . 45 $2 ,711 . 27
Negative balance of $226 . 82
This fund basically is designed to cover special programs that do
not have the benefit of fees, are not necessarily self-sustaining
or are unscheduled incomes such as apparal. This is the fund
that Community Theater should be coded . Break-even programs such
as open gyms and co-rec volleyball are in this fund. Picnic kit
supplies as well as "Life . Be In It" items are puchased from this
fund .

1984 YEAREND AQUATICS REPORT
1111 I. EDGEWOOD POOL SUMMARY
A. Restructure of the swimming lessons program
Major changes occurred in the swimming lesson program
in 1984 . The previous structure of the lessons invol-
ved one teacher per maximum of twelve students , for ten
- 45 minute lessons, at the rate of $13 per student.
The new format involved one instructor per maximum of
six - eight students, for ten - 35 minute lessons at
$15 per student. This smaller class size allows for
much more individualized attention for each student to
which the general public is very receptive .
The actual American Red Cross certified class offerings
basically remain the same , with the exception of the
beginners level . The skill progression was further
broken down by adding a beginner III class to the pre-
viously existing beginner I and II levels ( similar to
Shoreview' s current swimming program) . Because the
beginners level is the most difficult stage of the
swimming skills progression , it was felt that an addi-
tional increment, and therefore greater chance to ex-
perience success, would greatly benefit even the aver-
• age learner.
Three new features of the current lesson program are
the addition of the first day general information/free
open swim pass sheet, the "report card" system, and
lesson evaluation sheets; the last two of which are
distributed on the tenth day of the lessons. The in-
formation sheet tells the parents a bit about the pro-
gram and also gives the parent an opportunity to take
their child to a free evening or weekend open swim.
The "report card" system informs parents exactly what
skills their child is able to perform correctly and
what skills their child will need to practice . The
instructor also indicates on this form which level of
the swimming lessons the child should next be enrolled
in . And , the lessons evaluation sheet gives the par-
ents the chance to comment on the total swimming pro-
gram.
B. New pool programs
Throughout the past year, several new aquatic programs
have been successfully offered. These new programs
include: adaptive aquatics ( complete with volunteer
aide training and one-on-one instruction ) , arthritic
exercise , scuba diving lessons, evening water exercise ,
corporate fitness swims, semi-private lessons , adult
advanced lessons, and seasonal passes, which offer dis-
counts for the frequent pool user .
-2-
Additionally, a free American Red Cross "Swim and Stay ",
Fit" program has been offered to the ever growing lap
swimming crowd , which involves recording the daily
yardage of each participant. Individualized index
cards and wall charts record total mileage and certifi-
cates , patches , lapel pins , and "I swam 100 miles at
the Edgewood Pool" t-shirts are given tohigh mileage
holders. Since implemented , over 225 swimmers have
joined this program, and twelve people have swam their
way into the "100 Mile Club" . (See appendix for 3 day
survey of lap swimmer participation and the communities
from which this program has attracted the lap swim-
mers) . Extended lap swim hours on Monday and Thursday
afternoons have been made available to accomodate the
public ' s needs as well .
C. Physical structure improvements
During the past year, the Edgewood Pool environment has
undergone many changes to bring the seventeen year old
pool up to date . The pool room walls were profes-
sionally painted and three modern aquatic figures were
added to accept the pool room atmosphere . Official
rule boards were prepared and posted; and a Red Cross
plaque was hung to inform the public of the aquatic
staff ' s teaching and guarding qualifications. The res-
cue equipment was updated or replaced , to conform with 4111
the Ramsey County Health Department regulations. The
locker room walls, bathroom stalls and shower rooms
were repainted. The pool hallway walls and doors were
repainted as well .
Additional projects included the refinishing of the
locker room floors with a highly textured paint, the
transferring of the emergency telephone from the guard
office to the actual pool room, and the sanding and re-
finishing of all of the old wooden benches. Also ,
"Edgewood Pool" signs were added on two outside pool
walls , to make the pool location more visable from the
street. These improvements have undoubtedly enhanced
and/or made safer the overall pool environment.
D. Pool program advertising
Two major advertising sources of the seasonal pool
schedules are the Mounds View Newsletter and the Mounds
View Comunity Education Brochure . Both advertising
forms have gone through major changes, to make the in-
formation easier for the public to understand.
The format for the Mounds View Newsletter simply lists
all swim lesson levels with a brief class description
and complete listing of the dates and times that the •
class will be held. The Mounds View Community Educa-
tion Brochure compiles the swimming schedules of Chip-
pewa, Highview and Edgewood pools; and stresses which
park and recreation department must be contacted for
further questions and registration procedures . (See
appendix for samples of each of these two formats. )
-3-
Other promotional materials developed in the past year
include : "Healthy People" pool schedule flyers,
1111 McDonald tray liner placemats , articles and photographs
in the New Brighton Bulletin , two community health
fairs, an Edgewood Community Education open house ,
several promotional flyers to area elementary schools ,
and the addition of a specific pool bulletin board for
in-house advertising .

II . LAKESIDE BEACH SUMMARY
A. Major changes implemented in the to 4111
tal beach operation
The 1983 summer program at Spring Lake was researched ,
evaluated , and revised for the 1984 summer program.
Major changes were presented to the staff , and posted
in the aquatic manuals, in preparation for this past
summer . The dates of the summer season were June 9 -
August 26 , 1984 . The daily hours were moved ahead from
the previous season to 12 : 30 - 8 : 30 p.m. The guard
staff was more closely supervised this past year and an
afternoon "on call" system was implemented , to minimize
excess staff on slow days. All staff hired were certi-
fied in both American Red Cross advanced lifesaving
and water safety instruction . Staff ' s skills were
reviewed and tested prior to the season ' s onset. The
staff was required to wear red one piece swimsuits
while on duty and had the option to wear red guard
jackets, white visors, or red guard t-shirts. This
uniform dress code made the staff much more visible in
the public ' s eye . Three staff meetings and two news-
letters, given throughout the summer months, kept the
guard staff updated on ongoing changes or concerns.
The camaraderie among the staff was very high and a
contributing factor was the group effort at the 3rd •
Annual St. Paul Lifeguard Olympics. While competing in
lifeguard oriented skills tests , the Mounds View staff
placed 2nd overall , and brought home an impressive
trophy. The staff is already talking of "going for the
gold" in 1985.
B. Safety record
Lakeside Park Beach closed its season with a perfect
record with no major accidents (defined as an accident
that would required hospitalization or stitches) . The
beach front was treated with the chemical copper sul-
fate twice this season , on June 4 and 5 , and on July 2
and 3. This resulted in no significant cases of swim-
mers itch being reported to the guard staff or the
Spring Lake Park and Mounds View Park and Recreation
Departments.
C. Physical structure improvements
The beach house was repainted , as were all the park
grounds tables and trash cans. The parking lot rule
board received a new sheet of plexi-glass as the old
sheet had cracked and darkened . The lifeguard stand
rule boards were updated and repainted . The slide
platform was covered with a layer of non-skid , plastic •
carpet, and the waterfront marker bouys were anchored
to the lfieline at equal increments. Flowers were
planted near the beach house , and the grounds were con-
stantly kept tidy, as a result of a routine maintenance
schedule .
-5-
D. Beach attendance
1111 An attendance count at the beach was taken twice a day
at 3 : 00 and 7: 00 p.m. , to determine the approximate
number of bathers using the waterfront daily. This
count reflects the actual number of people in the water
only, as it is difficult to be accurate in counting the
number of people occupying the beachfront or
picnic/playground area . The J.O.P.H.E.R. formula was
used:
1 . Take an estimate of the midday crowd ( 3 :00 p.m. )
and multiply it by 2-1/2 .
2 . Take an estimate of the evening crowd ( 7 :00 p.m. )
and multiply by 1-1/2 .
3. Add these two figures together , for an
approximate daily total .
The average daily number of people in the water was
recorded as follows:
June 259 people
July 366 people
August 299 people
• As any type of patron count has not been used at this
beach previously, it will be necessary to compare the
1984 year with that of the summer of 1985 .
E. Finances
The following table is summary of the computer based
Lakeside Park ( 255 ) accounts for 1984 and 1983.

III . COORDINATION WITHIN THE MOUNDS VIEW SCHOOL DISTRICT
The availability of a specialized Aquatics Director within
the district provided a focal point for area organizations
to lean on . Several of the features of this coordination
angle are highlighted below.
A. Combined advertising : The Mounds View Community
1111 Education Bulletin and School Talk publications both
displayed an easy to read master schedule of the
Chippewa , Highview and Edgewood Pool seasonal programs
and class offerings. These handy sales pieces were
made possible through the Aquatic Director efforts.
-6-
B. Multi-community in-service training: Shoreview, New
Brighton , and Mounds View Park and Recreation Depart-
ments jointly participated in a skills update and
III
review seminar to ensure the highest quality of life-
guard and teaching staff for each municipality. The
combined effort produced a camaraderie among local
beach and pool staffs; and provided a less expensive
training , per staff member , in a more professional man-
ner .
C . Aquatic reference personnel: During the past year , new
American Red Cross materials and techniques have been
presented to the Shoreview and New Brighton Park and
Recreation pool directors, keeping both agencies
abreast of ongoing American Red Cross changes. In ad-
dition , this centralized aquatic information source was
available for the general public .
D. Mounds View Swim Club and Northern Shores Masters Swim
Team: The Aquatic Director position has provided the
area age group swim club and adult swim team with a
centralized channel for their aquatic scheduling and
concerns.
E. Mounds View Diving Club ( Madura ' s Maniacs) : Assistance
and direction was provided for a new approach in adver-
tising and enlarging the local diving club.
F. Specialized aquatic program advertising: The local •
Shoreview, Mounds View and New Brighton Park and Rec-
reation Department advertising of specialized aquatic
programs was coordinated through the Aquatic Director
position , ( i .e . adapted aquatics , scuba diving , basic
rescue and water safety, arthritic exercise and Edge-
wood ' s daytime pool schedule) .
IV. SUMMARY OF THE AQUATICS REPORT
In the first full year of the Aquatic Director position ,
many positive changes have occurred. The local pool and
beach program were each evaluated , revised , updated and
implemented to lay the foundation for the highest quality
of aquatic program possible . The result has been a drama-
tic increase in the pool participation figures, a sizable
increase in the amount of revenue generated , which follows
with a notable increase in the reusable funds. The beach
atmosphere has been greatly upgraded and professionalized.
Two unsuccessful ventures included the locker room floor
painting and the arthritic exercise program. The company
responsible for the selection and application of the floor
paint will be testing more appropriate applications in test
patches and will be following up with a new floor applica-
tion , free of charge . (The original coating did not remain
secure under shower water pressure and floor scrubbing ) .
And the arthritic exercise program was off to a slow start ,
due to lack of specific advertising ( senior citizen centers
and local doctors offices) , cold weather , and cold pool
water . Further promotion and warmer pool water will be
recommended in the warmer spring and summer months.

1984 FORESTRY PROGRAM SUMMARY
• DUTCH ELM DISEASE , OAK WILT AND HAZARDOUS TREE REMOVALS
The year 1984 was one of increases in both Dutch elm disease
and oak wilt. Dead and dying elms removed numbered one hun-
dred twenty ( 120 ) ; forty ( 40 ) or 33 percent, were Chinese or
Siberian elms. Twenty-two ( 22 ) woodpiles were found to con-
tain elm or diseased red oak wood and promptly removed .
The annual elm loss rate increased from last year' s .70 per-
cent to 1 . 36 percent. This is nearly a two-fold increase in
elm removals. Most municipalities saw a comparable rate of
increase . Researchers have pointed to better winter survival
( heavy snow conditions) by the elm bark beetles as a principal
reason for the increases. Additionally, a possible mutation
of the disease itself is being studied.
Non-diseased trees removed from parks and boulevards numbered
six. Foremost among these trees was a 41" diameter cottonwood
removed from Silver View Park.
Trenching as a means of oak wilt control was not utilized in
Mounds View in 1984 for reasons of mechanical breakdown and
lack of crew ( autumn ) .
• NORWAY MAPLE WINTER KILL
Extreme weather conditions in the fall and early winter of
1983 led to serious death and dieback in many of the City' s
Norway maple and white ash varieties. Especially hard hit
were the newly planted trees in parks and public areas.
Eighty-four ( 84 ) of these trees were removed from City parks.
What could be termed a lack of "hardiness" was generally
responsible for the damage . An unusually mild fall , coupled
with a early and severe winter did not allow the trees proper
preparation for dormancy. The result was the death of the
trees " living" combium layer , lack of nutrient and water
translocation and a visible cracking or sloughing of the
tree' s bark . Often these visible symptoms, especially in the
case of partial damage , were not evident until growth had com-
menced in the spring . Partially damaged trees, though some-
what disfigured, had healthy foliage . Some of these will
recover in due time ; others will start a slow cycle of de-
cline .
Trees on private property displayed the same incidence of dam-
age with most older trees surviving and most younger trees
severly damaged or dead. All totalled , one hundred twelve
( 112 ) trees were removed from parks because of the above men-
tioned damage , vandalism and root failure .
OTHER TREE DISEASES
Tree diseases of shade and ornamental trees had an average
year in Mounds View. Oak anthracnose was present but not 1111nearly as damaging as in previous years. Fireblight, apple
scab/rust and verticillium wilt were not present in any great
amount.
Uncommon diseases seen in 1984 included cytospera on blue
spruce ( dead and dying lower branches) and powdery mildew on
flowering crabapple .
Much of the severe winter damage was mistaken for tree disease
in the case of mountain ash, white ash and Norway maple .
DAMAGING TREE INSECTS
Most populations of tree-damaging insects were down in 1984 .
Cankerworm and linden looper activity in the spring was barely
noticeable . The more common of the gall problems seemed less
significant as well . Only long spruce cone gall showed any
increase over previous years ( on Colorado blue spruce and
Douglas fir) .
Fall webworm was again present, but in no great numbers. It
does, however , appear to be more widespread than in the past.
Other insects prompting citizen concern were the imported wil- i
low leaf beetle , rose chafer beetle , jackpine sawfly, ash
plant bug and the birch leaf miner .
GYPSY MOTH
By far , the one greatest potential threat to all trees in
Mounds View is the gypsy moth. This insect, an efficient
defoliator in the larval stage , shows a preference to eating
oak foliage , but will feed on any tree species including pine
and spruce .
For the second consecutive year , multiple catches of the adult
male moth have turned up in State and Federal attractant traps
in the Knollwood Drive/Woodale Drive area. A thorough foot
search for egg masses in the area by five State/Federal crews
yielded no results. Thus, the source of infection is still
unknown .
Egg masses were found in three other communities in the fall
of 1984 . These will all be aerial sprayed in the spring of
1985. As no masses or other life stages of the moth were
found in Mounds View, no spraying will be done here .
Increased trapping will take place in 1985 with hopes of pin-
pointing the infection source by fall . 4110
JOINT POWERS PROGRAM
The joint powers agreement for forestry services between the
4111 Cities of New Brighton and Mounds View has completed its
fourth year . The final breakdown of time and equipment usage
had Mounds View owing New Brighton the equivalent of about two
weeks forester' s time for equipment usage and labor. The im-
balance was to be made up by early January when the usual 60/
40 allocation of time (M,W,F - New Brighton , T,Th - Mounds
View) will resume .
CONTRACTED REMOVAL OF TREES
Precision Tree Service , the 1984 tree removal contractor , re-
moved eighty-nine ( 89 ) diseased elm and oak trees. Six ( 6 )
potentially hazardous trees were also removed. The average
removal cost for diseased trees was $89 . 12 compared to $88 . 32
last year.
TREE AND SHRUB PLANTING ON PUBLIC LAND
One hundred twenty-seven ( 127 ) new trees were planted in
Mounds View Parks in 1984. A total of nineteen ( 19 ) different
species was represented. Nine (9 ) trees were donated to the
parks by residents. ; five ( 5 ) of these were spruce trees be-
tween 7 feet and 10 feet tall. Most of the above trees were
planted in Silver View and City Hall Parks.
• One hundred five shrubs were planted , most in the above two
parks.
1985 TREE AND LANDSCAPE PLANTING
The planting of about two hundred fifty ( 250 ) trees and shrubs
is planned for selected areas of Silver View and City Hall
Park . Additional replacement trees will be planted at sites
that lost trees to winter kill and vandalism. Twenty ( 20 ) to
thirty ( 30 ) trees are scheduled to be moved from the nursery
in Shoreview to selected sites in parks.
FORESTRY PROGRAM PUBLIC RELATIONS
One of the most visible results of the forestry program could
be the Tree City U.S.A. award which will be accepted by the
City of Mounds View for the third time in 1985. This nation-
ally distributed award provides recognition for the various
City forestry activities. The desired message of the award to
residents is that Mounds view cares enough about its urban
forest and City parks that it operates a program of tree
disease control , park tree and landscape planting , and tree
care .
An April bus tour of urban forestry professionals, professors
and legislative representives included the Ardan Park compost
site and Silver View Park in its itinerary of stops. The
group seemed quite interested in the concept of small acreage ,
heavy use neighborhood parks. Specific interest seemed dir-
ected towards Mounds View' s tree planting and landscaping us-
ing small crews and bare root stock .
The First Annual Regional Urban Forestry Conference was held
September 20 and 21 at the University of Minnesota Landscape
Arboretum in Chaska. Various forestry officials from ten dif-
ference states attended . At the request of the conference
planners , the New Brighton/Mounds View City Forester presented
a forty minute overview of the urban forestry program in the
two cities. 1111

HEALTHY PEOPLE PROGRAM
RESULTS
41/1
The Healthy People wellness program was developed to
compliment the existing Park and Recreation offerings for
the cities of Mounds View and New Brighton. The program
was initiated December 1983 . The program thus far, was
successful to the extent that it served to initiate an
image change toward a more comprehensive 'wellness ' concept ,
and it generated opportunities for individuals to increase
awareness of good health practices and participate in
positive behavior change activities . An aggressive marketing
strategy served to disseminate quality materials to the
residents , local media and area businesses , churches , and
schools.
The development of program materials , theme, logo and
reward system went well . The community needs were assessed
and pilot classes were offered in response to these needs .
The participant response was 50-70% of offerings being
filled, with a gradual increase over the first three sessions .
This was consistent with the national statistic that states ;
a new health class offerings requires three consecutive
offerings to allow adequate participation to maintain a
program. This is also similiarly related to the three
documented stages of consumer behavior, being; awareness ,
personal responsibiliLy and choice; and action.
4111
A marketing strategy was implemented with the idea that
"the ability to offer a quality service is simply not enough
to achieve success . Marketing and promotion is required. "
(Modern Marketing, 1979) The average American is exposed to
over 1, 000 ads daily, most of which never break through their
perceptual screens . New ads need to be exposed as many as nine
times for awareness and action to occur. (USA Today, 1984)
The identified Healthy People population who compiled the
majority of participants was consistent with the national
statistic that tells us the trend is for 30-45 year old male
and specifically females and the over 65 year old , who are
increasingly becoming an important consumer segment. (Mod. Mar. )
I would add that the pre-school programs are well attended also.
Highlights of the program include enthusiastic support
by the participants and individual desire expressed toward
psoitive lifestyle change. Positive response to the reward
system of point accumulation and t-shirt distribution for
recognition. Increased awareness of good health practices by
the staff of the two cities involved, and several articles
covering the program by the Mpls . and St. Paul papers and
'Minneaota Cities ' journal Emphasizing the innovation by a
municipal sector implementing a wellness program. The Healthy
People Wellness Fair in Feb. 1984 provided momentum and enthusiasm
for the program
Con ' t. . .
IlkDisappointments included; limited enrollment in the new
health class offerings . Participant evaluations , however,
served to reinforce enthusiasm from those participating, yet
significant revenues were not generated as had been 'hopefully '
speculated. A comprehensive wellness program most certainly
encompasses all physical activities , more specifically aerobic
exercise and fitness. These classes were well attended and
continue to increase in participation, similiar to the national
fitness trend. The health classes seem to follow a seasonal
peak and ebb of enrollment similiar to specific physical
activities , yet this distinct pattern is not yet clearly defined .
Lack of adequate planning time to initiate a quality
promotional strategy and lack of adequate monies to match the
goal of aggressive, quality marketing was seen as a significant
early introduction obstacle. How much momentum was lost, that
cannot be regained is hard to measure , yet it can be assured
some irrepairable damage in a ' tough sell ' like behavior change
programs , such as wellness , was done.
Lack of understanding of a futuristic concept, marketing
and creative strategies by key individuals in a conservative
field such as park and recreation was certainly a formidable
obstacle. This perhaps contributed to inferior training of
instructors , quality and innovativeness of brochure and other
lilt marketing strategies . This framework could have been sincerely
justified from past experience of what the consumer has wanted
or what has not worked in the community. Perhaps this perspective
also applies to wellness offerings , yet one unique distinction
categorizes what motivates people to participate in wellness
classes and recreation (fun) , is often in wellness people are
motivated by reluctant discipline, deprivation with an underlying
feeling of 'getting my life together ' which is a very ' hard sell '
in any market. The trend is normally to see a person motivated
into action by desiring to repair damage, change poor behaviors ,
and much later they come to realize the much greater motivator
becomes enhanced feelings of well-being. The big question is
how to motivate people into action considering their thought
patterns of personal reluctance not fun, enjoyment like recreation .
These failings need be re-defined from the perspective
of a pilot project of a new concept in a new area , where failings
are only viewed as impetus to change strategies . A dynamic
ongoing evaluation and assessment of consumer needs assures
eventual progress in any new project.
HEALTHY PEOPLE PROGRAM
4111
`MISSION STATEMENT
The Mounds View and New Brighton Healthy People program objective
is to build a community of active, healthy people. Health and Fitness
opportunities provide a personal awareness that often motivates
individuals to choose healthier lifestyle behaviors , thus enhancing
their quality of life.
THEME
"HEALTHY PEOPLE, A COMMUNITY OF ACTIVE , HAPPY PEOPLE"
OBJECTIVES
To modify existing recreation programs to incorporate the Healthier
Lifestyle wellness concept .
To aggressively market a wellness concept to an over-communicated society
Hire a consultant to creatively develop an image, theme, promotion of
materials and logo to represent the theme.
Initiate an image change in the response to the national trend toward
personal responsibility and well-read, informed, and fitness conscious
consumers . A wholistic approach was incorporated considering not just

•tnd regular activities and interaction with each other . The family has
)roader ties to the community through active participation. There is
high degree of autonamy and tendency to encourage individuality, and
Ilk
1 family members engage in creative problem solving and active personal
sponsibility.
ages of High Level. Wellness :
1. Develop an awareness through
a. role models in the immediate environment
b . read articles , books , tapes , classes, activities .
2. Information presented with a healthier lifestyle approach.
-individual needs to be encouraged to become an active participant
in shaping his or her life .
3. The individual needs to choose fun options , to perpetuate participatior
4 . The individualneeds to receive reinforcement for practicing wellness
behaviors . This intensity will decrease as they become more self-
initiating.
5 . The Wellness Lifestyle :
* Self-responsibility for behavior
*Nutrition awareness, weight control
* Physical Fitness , Sport participation, Leisure choices

Supporting Data Program Results
The concept of healthier lifestyles is generally well
accepted, yet hard to sell . People are reluctant to become
involved in behavior changing activities for a number of
obvious reasons . Thus the entire concept of viewing wellness
as enhancing and not deprivation is essential to the success
of the Healthy People program. In measurement terms , it is
difficult to measure behavior changes , expecially in a large
municipal segment , with no study control measures . The
only standards in which to compile results would
ve numbers of participants in the program.
lthough response of those involved has been favorable,
suggested records to keep over the three year period would
be recommended :
-Revenues from Healthy People classes
-Revenues from exercise/fitness classes
-Age, sex of participants in each class
-Receptive populations within the community in which to
provide services , 1 . e. business , schools , churches 1111
-Compliance rate for participants in an ongoing fitness class
(indicating lifestyle behavior changes)

RECOMMENDATIONS
TRANSITION PHASE
The successful transition of the developed Healthy People concept
and program participation will be determined by these key points :
1 . Commitment to the program from Directors , Park Boards and
all Park and Recreation Dept. staff.
2 . Utilization of the extensive Healthy People resource file .
3 . Clearly defining the Healthy People program areas that need to
be attended to to ensure continued participation :
-Clearly defined job descriptions as listed below:
-Instructors : hiring, evaluating, orientation, program materials
-Promotion, marketing, articles for brochure , local media,
quality, interesting graphics , sound , current health statistics ,
local media support and informed regularly, contact with local
businesses , churches , schools , etc.
-Continual assessment and change cognizent with consumer needs .
-Quality control , instructors , program materials , graphics ,
follow-up, publicity.
-Advisory council ; support, innovations , continual assessment of
consumer needs , changing community.
-Direct leadership of HP program; director commitment and
coordinator part-time ownership to assure all of the above .
-Support of program supervisors in all aspects of the program
from facilitating smooth running of classes to innovative
support.
4 . To assure continuation there must be generated sufficient
participants and revenues to enable the program to continue and
expand.
5. Keep up the momentum, Fall 1984 a critical kick-off time.
6. Aggressive promotion , through recruitment of additional
monies and creative marketing strategies .
ROADBLOCKS
1 . Lack of adequate monies to facilitate quality promotion.
2. Lack of support and understanding of the total mission and
goals by the program supervisors
3. Inadequate, uninspiring orientation of the instructors of the
HP classes (these are our greatest resource for continued support)
this should include all physical activities , specifically the
fitness-type classes.
4 . Inappropriate class topics offered , not what consumers want .
