A de -on , Director Parks, Recrea 'on and Forestry BKA/sll • • • MEMO TO: Mounds Vie Parks and Recreation Commissioners FROM: Staff jya DATE: August 22 , 1984 RE: Playground equipment update The playground equipment has been installed at Lambert Park as staff indicated at the July Commission Meeting and we are in the process of bringing in additional sand to Lambert as well as designing an outside perimeter area. In addition , staff was unable to salvage the old playground equipment from Lambert Park and we had it hauled to a sanitary landfill as it had rotted and was not usable at Silver View Park as initially planned. The Random Park tot lot has been installed basically completed with finishing touches scheduled for this week. Although Random Park has only been completed for one week, we have received two phone calls from irate neighbors complaining of the increased noise and traffic through the adjacent back yards. Staff has forwarded each of the abutting property owners a letter ( see attached ) requesting their feelings on constructing a fence on the back edge of the property. It appears from preliminary dis- cussion with the residents that each of the property owners will S be supportive of constructing a fence enclosing Random Park. Staff has stopped by the Random Park site on two separate even- ings to monitor the noise levels as well as the traffic patterns through the area. It is very apparent that both noise patterns and traffic have increased in the neighborhood , which is partly due to the novelty and/or newness of the equipment. Staff has included a copy of the Park Commission ' s past policy on fencing and would appreciate your direction as to how you would like to proceed with this issue . Staff would recommend that a meeting be held with the abutting property owners to determine their final wishes and a formal recommendation by staff could be submitted for your review at the September Park and Recreaton Commission meeting. By that time , we should have a better feel for the specific noise levels and traffic patterns that have been established and the novelty of the equipment should be somewhat worn off . Should the Commission desire staff take any further action on this item, feel free to contact myself directly at 784-3055, ext. #41. BKA/sll Attachment r MSP (Haake/Silvis) that the Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission recommends that the Mounds View City Council ask 411111 comment and review from the Mounds View Planning Commission and to direct the City staff to begin negotiations with Kraus- Anderson to exchange or swap the City' s 16.9 acres of park land in the southwest corner of the Minar/Kraus-Anderson/Engelsma property for 16.9 acres located in approximately the northwest corner of said property in addition to two more park land acquisitions to be immediately adjacent to the northwest corner as follows: (1 ) 10% land dedication through the Park and Recreation Fund at the time of subdivision. (2) Purchase as many acres as possible with the $136,800 LAWCON Grant. If said acquisition cannot be consumated, then we recommend the first and second edition as stated above be applied to the southwest corner as originally planned. We also recommend that whichever site is chosen, that the City acquire trail corridor easements through the entire Minar/ Kraus-Anderson/Engelsma property for access to Silver View Park from County Road H-2, County Road I, Silver Lake Road and Long Lake Road, plus an 8-foot easement be provided by Kraus- Anderson around the proposed Oak Lake. We also support the Kraus-Anderson proposal for low to medium density housing as the major development concept for the property in question. 411111 Commissioner Haake then made a second motion as follows: MSP (Haake/Weflen) that the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend that the Planning Commission support and endorse previous action taken by the Parks Commission by making their own motion including the following two points : (1 ) Reiterating Parks and Recreation recommendations to the Mounds View City Council . (2) Define and delineate the recommended planning policy for the entire east side of Silver Lake Road from County Road I to County Road H-2 and for the southwest corner of the Minar/Kraus-Anderson/Engelsma property as the park is to be relocated to the northwest corner. The motion passed. 0 Nays 8 Ayes Park Fencing Park Director Anderson reviewed the staff report as presented Policy to the Parks and Recreation Commission concerning the City' s policy in regards to fencing wet or potential water hazards. The fencing issue was raised by Council directive because of residents concerns for health and safety problems along Silver Lake Road abutting Woodcrest Park. Staff reviewed the Woodcrest Park site and recommended that fencing not be installed because of the cost and practicality of such a fence: Staff in turn 11111 recommended that some form of a planting barrier be installed to detract any toddlers from wandering into the ditch. Commissioner Fedor then recommended the following motion: MSP (Fedor/Scott) to direct the City park maintenance staff to create a natural barrier with plantings along the drainage111/1 ditch along the northwest corner generally following the tot lot of Woodcrest Park and not to exceed $200 from the City Contingency Fund. The motion passed. 0 Nays 8 Ayes Staff further expanded on the need for the establishment of a general fencing policy and discussed a number of general policies that could be adopted. Following staff' s presentation, a motion was made by Chairman Burmeister as follows: MSP (Burmeister/Linke) that the Mounds View Park and Recreation Commission hereby adopts the following general policy statements to serve as guidelines for the establishment of future fencing in City parks: (1 ) Parks and public property are designed and established for the general use of all City residents and should be as barrier and handicapped free as possible to promote the maximum use of the facilities. (2) Wherever a arrier is required because of the health, safety and t,.<elfare of the Mounds View residents , the ® following guidelines should be adhered to: A. Staff would recommend that shrubbery, trees or other111/1 like foliage be used in place of man-made materials. B. Fencing in general detracts from the visual aesthetics of park property. C. Water area, when properly controlled and designed, is a welcome and integral aspect of the City's park system and should be encouraged and created whenever possible. It is not financially feasible nor plausible to fence each of the City' s water areas because of potential safety hazards. D. Wherever a potential water hazard should exist, the City shall place a warning sign near the area to enhance the citizen' s level of safety consciousness. E. Whenever man-made fences are to be installed, it should be of a wooden and/or earth-tone to blend into the environment as much as possible. F. Whenever fences are installed, proper access through the use of gates, fences overlapping and/or openings, shall be considered in the design process. The motion passed. 0 Nays • 8 Ayes • 1111 MEMO TO: Mou S .4i:f Darks and Recreation Commissioners FROM: Staff• DATE: August 22 , 1984 RE: Fall Recreation Program Update Attached is a copy of the fall recreation brochure which outlines recreation programs being offered by our department during the next three months.

PATRON 1 410 MEMO TO: Moun. \ e rks and Recreation Commissioners trA FROM.: Sta �� � / DATE: August 22 , 1984 RE: Greenfield Park Grant Enclosed is a copy of the preliminary application form and cover letter that was submitted by staff for a 1985 L.A.W.C.O.N. grant to develop Greenfield Park. The grant proposes construction of an entrance road, parking lot, preliminary site grading , reloca- tion of the baseball field, construction of two lit tennis courts, creek restoration and trail development. The total grant proposal is for $187 , 200 . 00 . Staff received preliminary indica- tion from the State last week that our grant has been approved at a 50% level and is currently being considered for an additional 25% funding by the state LCMR committee . The development grant would follow the master plan as approved by the Parks and Recrea- tion Commission and would basically complete the initial phase . The issues that needs to be addressed by the Park Commission are twofold; the first being, should the grant be accepted based on a 50o matching funding level. This would mean that City' s share would be $93 ,600. 00. The second question that needs to be 1111 addressed is how should the $93 , 600. 00 , 50% match, or $47 ,800. 00 , 25% match, be funded. Staff has identified four potential sources for funding the grant proposal and have included related information for the Commission to review: Q d 1 . Storm water management fund J ,� ) v �� c` UO ( 044 2. Defeasance program. c hi 3 . Pinecrest properties park dedication fund. � / 4 . Revenue sharing , including using some of the monies set aside for 1985 capital improvement projects. I have invited City Finance Director Brager to attend our Thurs- day' s Commission meeting to review each of these funding sources and answer any questions you might have regarding the special projects fund.

Grant Program Department of Energy & Economic Development Division of Community Development Parks and Recreation Grants Unit 9th Floor American Center Building 150 E. Kellogg Blvd. St. Paul , MN 55101 • Dear Mr. Jambois: Enclosed is a revised copyof the preliminary application for the Greenfield Park - Phase I Development as per our phone conversa- tion on Wednesday, June 20 , 1984 . The revised application includes the development of a 5 , 200 linear ft. trail system around the water area as well as development of the creek bed in Greenfield Park. As you are aware , Greenfield Park is currently 34 acres in size with only 9-1/2 acres currently being utilized. With the addition of the dredging and grading in the creek bed and trail area, we would be able to make full utilization of Greenfield Park and be able to tie all four corners of the park together into one homogenous area. We are very excited about this proposal and have discussed it with the City engineering department who initially felt it was not feasible . After review- ing the engineering study on the site , we feel very confident that we can begin to reestablish Greenfield Park back to its natural creek area and greatly enhance both the asthetic and practical aspects of Greenfield Park. Should you have any questions regarding the modified proposal , feel free to contact myself directly at 748-3055, ext. #41, and I would be happy to review our figures and/or development propos- als.

The defeasance occured on January 18, 1984. Formal Council approval was given by Resolution 1715. Specific details concerning the defeasance are outlined in my February 2, 1984 memo which is attached. After the defeasance the Council , by Resolution 1714 cancelled $904,800 of debt service property tax levies which were scheduled to be levied between 1984 and 1994. A balance of $928, 120. 00 cash remained in the Improvement Bond Fund after the defeasance and was available for any lawful municipal expenditure. Additionally it is estimated that approximately $970, 000 in special assessments principal and interest payments will be received between 1984 and 1995 and placed in the fund. • • Shortly after the defeasance Ordinance 356 Establishing Chapter 27 of the Municipal Code entitled "Special Projects Fund" was adopted. Attached please find my January 12, 1984 memo on the subject outining the ordinance and presenting some of the rationale for it' s establishment as well as a copy of the ordinance. Basically the ordinance closes the Improvement Bond Fund and transfers that fund ' s assets ( cash remaining after defeasance and future assessments payable to the City) to the newly established Special Projects Fund. Section 27. 02, Subdivision 1 through 4 outlines expenditures which may be made from the fund. The primary purpose of the fund was to provide a source of financing for equipment and capital improvements which are included in the Long Term Financial Plan of the City and which would otherwise have required the expenditure of tax dollars. Other uses include transfers to the General Fund for cash flow and contingency reserves and emergencies. Resolution 1717 transferred $338,000 from the Special Capital Projects Fund to the General Fund; $238, 000 was designated as a reserve for cash flow and $100,000 was designated as a reserve for contingency. The second page of my January 12, 1984 memo outlines the reasons for establishing this reserve. This year will be the first time in the six years that I have been employed by the City that the General Fund will not incur a temporary cash • deficit during the year. Page four of the January 12, 1984 memo z m I =.g 1 DEFEASANCE OF IMPROVEMENT BONDS Page Two 1111 outlines the rationale for the reserve for contingency. That ,' r reserve would be used in the event of unexpected reductions of ,4,. state aids similar to those experience in 1980 and 1981. It also could be used for emergencies. frt After those transfers a cash balance of approximately $600, 000 remains in the Special Projects Fund. ri.

Investments and cash totalling $2, 493, 600. 00 were transferred to Norwest Bank Minneapolis on that date. Those investments will earn an average of 11. 4% interest. Norwest will, pursuant to the escrow agreement, manage those investments and make bond principal and interest payments on the City' s behalf until the final bond payment is made on January 1, 1996 . The City will receive an annual report on the status of this escrow account. The City is responsible for the payment of bond service and coupon service charges to the banks that were designated as paying agents on the five bond issues which were defeased. In 1983 those service charges were $496. 05. Using current rates these charges are estimated to amount to $4, 922. 00 from now until the final bond payment is made on January 1, 1996 . The proposed ordi- ance establishing a Special Projects Fund provides for payment of these service charges. illIn undertaking this defeasance of five improvement bond issues the City has resulted in the following: 1. The City has provided for $3,960, 945 . 00 of future bond principal and interest payments. ($3, 135, 000 . 00 principal; $825, 945 . 00 interest) . 2 . The City has cancelled $904, 800 . 00 of future debt service tax levies originally scheduled to be levied between 1984 and 1994. The originally scheduled levy for these bonds in 1983 was 1. 618 mills. 3. The defeasance cost $2,522, 022. 00 . These costs are as follows : cash and investments to escrow agent $2 , 493, 600 . 00 - escrow agent fees 15, 000 . 00 - financial consultant fees 5, 000 . 00 - legal fees (estimated) 2 , 500. 00 - C.

There remains in the Improvement Bond Redemption Fund a balance of $928, 120 . 00 which may be used to start the • Special Projects Fund. Should you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. DB/ds • TO: Mayor & Council FROM: Finance Director-Treasurer • DATE : January 12, 1984 RE : PROPOSED ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A SPECIAL PROJECTS FUND Attached for your consideration is a proposed ordinance establishing a Special Projects Fund. It is proposed that the cash balance, re- maining in the Improvement Bond Redemption Fund after the cash de- feasance of that fund' s bonds, be initially deposited in this Special Projects Fund. Also the special assessments receivable of the Improve- ment Bond Redemption Fund would be transferred to the Special Projects Fund and all future payments of principal and interest on those assess- ments would be deposited in the Fund. Future bonded debt tax levies would have to be cancelled since the cash defeasance will ensure that the bonds will be paid and as a consequence the tax levy will no longer be needed. In drafting this proposed ordinance I kept several considerations in mind. The first consideration was for the cash flow needs of the General Fund. As a result of the cash defeasance the City ' s overall cash and investment balances will be dramatically reduced. Approximate- ly $2. 6 million will be used to purchase investments which will be given to an escrow agent who will use those monies to pay the schedu bond principal and interest payments of the Improvement Bond Redempt Fund as they come due. Those monies will no longer be available to meet the General Fund' s cash flow needs . Therefore, the proposed ordinance allows permanent transfers of monies to the fund balance of the General Fund in order that sufficient cash is available in that fund to pay for current operations from January 1 until the end of July when the tax settlement is received from Ramsey County. The second consideration is that the City continue, as we have in the past, to " live within our means" . We have always limited current operating expenditures to the amount of estimated current revenues and achieved a balanced budget in the General and Forestry Funds . The Water, Sewer and Recreation Activity Funds have been self supporting; their expenditures have been limited to anticipated current revenues. Therefore, the proposed ordinance allows the purchase of equipment and the financing of capital improvement projects only for the General and Forestry Funds. Since the Water, Sewer and Recreation Activity Funds are to be self supporting, only interest bearing loans are to be made to those funds. Current and recurring operating and maintenance expenditures would not be allowed under this proposed ordinance. By limiting this fund' s expenditures to the purchase of equipment and the financing of capital improvements only for the General and Forestry Funds the City will be able to continue its policy of " living within its means' while also providing for •the future purchase of needed equipment and capital improvements at no additional burden to the ta� payer. While it is not in the proposed ordinance, it is strongly re commended that monies be used only for the purchase of those items of A f . Page 2 January 12, 1984 1111 equipment and/or capital improvements which are contained in the Long Term Financial Plan. Requiring that items be included in the Long Term Financial Plan will ensure that items financed by the fund will have been subjected to a careful review by both staff and Council. Further items so financed will be those which are necessary to achieve the long range goals and objectives of the City as contained in the Plan. In summary, the proposed ordinance provides that a Special Projects Fund be established with the cash balance remaining in the Improvement Bond Redemption Fund after the bonds in that Fund have been defeased. Monies in the Fund may be used for the following purposes : 1) interest bearing loans to finance public improvement projects or to finance purchases of equipment and/or capital improvements of the Water, Sewer and Recreation Activity Funds 2) to purchase equipment and/or finance capital improvements of any City funds except special assessment and enterprise funds 3) to make permanent transfers to the fund balance of the General Fund 4) to make emergency repairs The proposed ordinance requires a resolution of 4/5 of all the members of the Council to authorize use of the monies in the Fund. During past discussions of possible uses of the monies that will be available to the City after the defeasance, a transfer to the fund balance of the General Fund and an interest bearing loan to the Improve- ment Bonds of 1981 Bond Fund were mentioned. Pursuant to terms of the proposed ordinance such uses would have to be authorized by resolution. Therefore, I am proposing a resolution be adopted immediately after the ordinance is adopted authorizing the first uses of some of the monies of , the Special Projects Fund. The first use proposed is a permanent transfer to the fund balance of the General Fund. Our auditors have recommended that, for cash flow requirements , our fund balance be one-half the sum of the budgeted tax levy and local government aid. For 1984 that is approximately $630 , 000 . Presently the fund balance is $392,000; this is $238,000 short of the minimum amount recommended. In their management report dated December 31, 1982 (p. 22) our auditor' s stated that cash flow requirements are only one of several reasons for maintaining General Fund revenues. Other reasons are unanticipated or emergency expend- itures and reductions in shared intergovernmental aids received from 111 the Federal and State Governments. During 1982 the City experienced a reduction of aid received from the State of Minnesota of approxima, ) ly $80, 000. While the timing of those aid reductions were such that _/ . • 4., / Page 3 January 12, 1984 1 I we were able to make budget modifications and thus absorb those re_ ductions we may not have that time in the future and thus we may loose our ability to make budget modifications. Additionally future reductions could be more severe. A reserve for emergency or unan- ticipated expenditures would allow us to absorb those reductions and give ample time to modify future budgets and preserve the well being of our residents. Additionally City operations are so diverse that financial flexibility is required to handle unforseen events. Natural disasters , unexpected capital outlay requirements and preliminary financing for vital im- provements require financing on a current and timely basis. A secondary benefit of adequate fund balance reserves is interest in- come. Such income would be available to help offset the costs of current operations . In order to maintain the financial strength and independence of the General Fund, I recommend that a transfer of an additional $100,000 be made to the fund balance of the General Fund from the Special Projects Fund. This amount would be designated as a reserve for contingencies and would be used in the event of reductions of State Aids, unforseen events and emergencies. I am not recommending an interest bearing loan be made to the Improv ment Bonds of 1981 Bond Fund. In their most recent management letter our auditors recommended obtaining a legal opinion regarding the qualifying uses of residual MSA construction monies. As a result of the legal opinion from our City Attorney, those residual monies must be restricted, however, one of the permissable uses would be a loan to the bond fund. As a consequence it is not necessary that monies of the proposed Special Projects Fund be used for these bonds. A separate memo that you will be receiving along with this one will explain the City Attorney' s opinion in more detail. RECOMMENDATION : Adopt the proposed ordinance establishing a Special Projects Fund and direct staff to prepare a resolution authorizing the transfer of $338, 000 from the Special Projects Fund to the fund balance of the General Fund.

You may recall this proposal was before the Parks and Recreation Commission in 1977 when they initially scheduled development of the property, but due to financial prob- lems, they decided to delay development. The project is currently back on schedule and would be eligible for the park dedication fund in the amount of 10% land or cash equivalent. The Park Commission has two issues before it on Thursday. The first being whether or not to accept the proposed market value of the property as appraised at $13,380/acre and secondly to determine whether or not cash or land equivalent would be your pleasure. Staff's position on the detailed appraisal as completed in 1977 and the updat- ed letter as submitted is in agreement that the fair market for the value be accepted at $13,380/acre with the understanding that it is 25% - 35% low of the actual selling price of the property. Staff's reason for accepting the $709,800 value is that the legal costs and appraisal costs to reevaluate the property and go through a lengthy court hearing would not only establish bad image for the City but also probably would not be cost effective by the time 111/1 we were done. Staff's rationale for the low land value is that the appraisal is based on unimproved land and secondly the initial appraisal is low based on comparables. In relationship to the second issue, staff would recommend that the Commission accept the 10% cash for future park dedication rather than land equivalent for two reasons: 1. There is no proposed need for a park in that area, as theneighborhood is currently being served by Lambert Park and it is not scheduled for any type of park acquisition in the parks and open space master plan. 2. The cash for development of the City's existing properties is imperative with the number of projects yet to be completed as outlined in the City's parks and open space plan. It should be 'noted that the Pinecrest Park subdivision is only proposing a minor subdivision at this time of 16.33 acres entitled the Rachell's Addition. Based on 16.33 acres, the total park dedication fee would be $21,849.The Park Commission would be setting a precedent for future Pinecrest Park subdivisions should the property become subdivided further in the future. Staff will be discussing this issue in relationship to potential funding of the Greenfield Park L.A.W.C.O.N. grant also. Should you have any questions regarding staff's recommendation on the Pinecrest Properties park dedication 111/1 charge, feel free to contact staff directly at 784-3055, ext. #41.

William Biem Pinecrest Properties 6750 France Avenue South Edina, Minnesota 55435 In Re : Our File #77131 Vacant Land SWQ of Hwy #10 & Co . Rd . H-2 north north of Hwy #10 4111 Moundsview, Minnesota Dear Mr . Biem : You have asked that I review my appraisal of June 21 , 1977 made as of June 17, 1977 in the light of what has transpired in that neighborhood since that date. The 1977 appraisal of the property was in the amount of $ 530 , 000. You indicate that you do have copies of that appraisal. Please refer to them relating to fact information. I am advised that the property has not changed physically sv: e that date . The economy has changed as well as further development has taken place on Hwy #10, the major highway in front of the subject property. Because you have the appraisal report and particulars , I have only addressed your current question; i.e., for the purposes of your park dedication , the same purpose which that appraisal report was , I believe , prepared in 1977 , what is the "as is " acreage value of the subject property, at this date? In answer to that question, I would believe that the value of the property should have increased somewhat since the date of 410 my previously submitted appraisal . At that time, the economy was slowed. It got better after 1977 , but again slowed and during that total time frame, the market activity in vacant RUSSELL SMITH ASSOCIATES, INC. 4111 Mr . William Biem Page two August 15 , 1984 land particularly in larger shopping center sites and sites for similar types of development, was slow and at many times nearly non -existent market activity. The general inflation will however, have caused the value of the subject property to have increased somewhat. This land while quite desirable for commercial development, takes a major complex or subdivision which will experience cost for development and carrying costs to develop the property. Major developers normally pay reduced prices for larger tracts of this size. I note that the Assessor , for the purpose of taxation , has estimated the market value of the subject property to be $709, 800. This is equal to the $13 , 380 per acre and would appear to be a reasonable indication of value for this size tract in a "as is" condition (without recognizing benefits from sewer and water installation which would be a part of the development cost and not a part of the acreage value ) i .e. ; I would concur with the assessor that a value of $ 709 , 800 is a • reasonable basis for a park dedication fee. If you wish , I would be happy to prepare a formal appraisal supplement or a formal appraisal of the property. You have indicated that at this time , you wish only my informal supplement or update and comments as to the changes which might be anticipated since the date of preparation of the formal appraisal . If I can be of service to you , or if you wish a formal appraisal report prepared , please advise . Yours very truly , R. ssell C . Smith RCS/llr I • .

The first project is for the construc- tion of a creative play environment listed under short range projects and the second being tennis courts under long range projects. After reviewing the initial grant proposal, it appears that both projects would be actually long range projects as the tot lot structure would exceed the maximum $5,000 amount as outlined in the neighborhood park planning fund guideline. Based on the neighborhood park planning fund guidelines on long term projects, the project has to be planned with a minimum of one year advanced planning and would be matched on a 50% cash and 50o inkind labor and/or materials. Staff would recommend that the tot lot project be reclassified as a short term project with $5,000 being allocated to revitalize the Groveland Park tot lot as some of the existing equipment can be refurbished with a paint job, new swing seats, etc. Should the Park Commission concur that the project ceiling for the tot lot be set at $5,000 it could be defined as a short term project 111/1 and a total match of $2,500 could be made available for the construction of tot lot. Staff feels that the proposed tot lot concept would meet the neighborhood park planning fund guidelines, but would further recommend that staff be directed to meet with representatives of the Groveland Park Foundation to bring back specific recommendations as to what playground equipment would be requested including a more detailed drawing. Staff would further recommend that concep- tual approval be given to the short range tot lot project so that a good faith agreement or understanding is made towards the Groveland Park Foundation. In regards to the long range project of tennis courts, the planning fund guidelines indicate that no more than 25% of the neighborhood park planning fund could be allocated towards long range projects, which means that $2,500 could be allocated in 1984 towards long range funding, assuming that a grant of $2,500 is approved for the short range project. Staff would recommend that this issue be delayed due to the attached soil cor- rections report and need for additional planning as to location, type of courts, etc. A representative from the Groveland Park Foundation will be on hand at Thurs- day evenings meeting to formally submit their grant application.

PAUL, MN near Ardan Avenue and Groveland Road in Moundsview, Minnesota. OFFICES IN: We have been requested to classify samples taken at this 111/1 site by the city and to provide recommendations for subgrade MANKATO, MN ROCHESTER, MN preparation for the tennis court. Our work was performed WAITEPARK, MN in accordance with your verbal authorization on May 24, 1984. Attached are copies of the boring logs and a sketch showing the locations that were furnished to us by you. These borings indicate a typical profile consists of fill and/or organic soil overlying sand. Water was encountered at a depth of 22' to 32' . Two samples from boring 1 and three samples from boring 2 were delivered to our laboratory for classifica- tion. The samples were visually and manually classified in accordance with ASTM: D 2488-69. A chart illustrating the soil classification procedure is attached. The eight samples were classified as follows: Boring No; Sample Depth Classification 1 1 ' -3' ORGANIC CLAYEY SAND, black (SC-OL) 1 3' -8' SAND, fine grained, grayish brown, waterbearing (SP-SM) 111/1 2 0' -14' FILL mostly SILTY SAND,black and dark brown 2 14' -3' ORGANIC CLAYEY SAND, black (SC-OL) AS A MUTUAL PROTECTION TO CLIENTS,THE PUBLIC AND OURSELVES.ALL REPORTS ARE SUBMITTED AS THE CONFIDENTIAL PROPERTY OF THE CLIENT AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER Boring No. Sample Depth Classification • 2 3' -8' SAND, fine grained, grayish brown, waterbearing (SP-SM) Based on the samples submitted to us, the organic soils consist of an organic clayey sand. The underlying sand is fine grained with a SP-SM symbol indica- ting there is from 5% to 12% passing a #200 sieve. In our opinion, the organic soils are weak, compressible and highly frost susceptible. In our opinion, these soils should be completely removed from the area of the proposed tennis court. We also recommend a minimum 5' over- size beyond the edge of the tennis court. After the unsuitable soils have been removed, we recommend placing a controlled compacted granular fill to subgrade elevation. Because of the high water level , we recommend that the fill be a non-frost susceptible sand fill . We recommend that the soil have less than 50% passing a #40 sieve and less than 5% passing a #200 sieve. We recommend compacting this fill to a minimum of 98% of standard Proctor density (ASTM: D 698-78) . This type of fill material should greatly minimize potential damage due to frost heaving. Also it should be possible to compact this type of fill material with the relatively high ground water level condi- tion. The recommendations contained in this report represent our professional opinions. These opinions were arrived at in accordance with currently accept- ed engineering practices at this time and location. Other than this, no 11111 warranty is implied or intended.

Each of the listed items are strictly information oriented and are not intended for formal Com- mission action. : 1. STUDENT INTERN: Mick Flood, Student Intern from LaCrosse, Wisconsin, for- mally completed his internship on Friday, August 3. Mick has done an out- standing job as our intern and will be retained on an hourly basis, not to exceed 25 hours per week, to assist in the coordination of recreation pro- grams while Mary takes a 3 month maternity leave. In addition to working with Mary in recreaton programs, Mick assisted in the construction of the Random Park tot lot and currently oversees the fall adult soccer league. 2. MATERNITY LEAVE: Program Supervisor Saarion is scheduled to take a three month maternity leave following the delivery of her new baby. Mary's due date is initially August 23, and we are just awaiting the delivery at this time. We met at the staff level on numerous occasions during the past 111/1 three weeks to insure that the many programs that Mary coordinates will be covered and properly supervised. 3. PARK VANDALISM: We have experienced some severe park vandalism at Silver View Park during the past two weeks through 4-wheel drive vehicles and careless drivers. Included in the damage have been 4 Canadian Red Cher- ries and 1 Amur maple as well extensive damage to the turf and burning of one picnic table. To offset the damage at Silver View Park, we were for- tunate to receive 5 beautiful blue spruce valued at over $1,000 each which have been relocated at Silver View and City hall. It seems that just we begin to get ahead with our reforestation program, we experience either a severe winter or vandalism that slows our progress. 4. FIRE HYDRANT AT GRWELAND PARK: Staff worked in coordination with the Public Works Department in installing a new fire hydrant at Groveland Park as well as running water lines into the park shelter building. We had been utilizing the hydrant on the west side of Groveland Avenue during the past three years and had received considerable "flack" from the City Fire Department with the addition of the new hydrant and water lines we will be able to install a new drinking fountain and better serve the winter main- tenance needs at Groveland Park. 5. CONSTRUCTION OF SIDEWALK AT SILVER VIEW PARK: I'm sure you are aware that there have been a number of street projects under construction during the past two months throughout the City. One of the major improvements is to County Road I between Highway 10 and Silver Lake Road directly adjacent to 111/1 Silver View Park. The addition of the new medians, sidewalk, concrete curb and gutter certainly dresses up the park area and we are very welcome to have these new street improvements in the City. -2- 6. LAKESIDE PARK: The Lakeside Park Beach will be officially closed on Saturday, August 25 after a successful summer of operation. A complete aquatics report will be submitted for the Commission's review at the Sep- tember Parks and Recreation Commission meeting. 7. CITY COMPOSTING SITE: I would encourage each of the Park Commissioners to drive past Ardan Park to see the composting site and how we have cleaned the area up and extended the fence area. In addition to cleaning the site area up, we are in the process of installing a class 5 road through the center of the site as proposed by the Park Commission and staff feels this improvement will better facilitate traffic in the future. I have enclosed a copy of an article by Darby Nelson, Minnesota House of Representatives regarding landfill issues within the metropolitan area. The article is of major interest to the City of Mounds View as the new landfill abatement fund could provide future funding. I spoke with the Metropolitan Council Representative, Dan Krivat, and indicating our need for additional funding for not only our composting site but also to estab- lish a recycling program in Mounds View. He felt with our past success, we would be very high on the eligibility list once the funding program is established in 1985. Staff will keep the Commission apprised of the com- posting and recycling programs in the future. 111, 9. RECREATION PROGRAM ACTIVITIES: Staff has been working in conjunction with the City of Minnetonka and Hopkins in reviewing a metropolitan recreation survey in which we have included five tables for your review. Staff indi- cated at the July Commission meeting that there is a need to review our existing program fees and as can be seen in figure 7, we currently are ranked number one in fee supported recreation programs in the metropolitan area. Although some of these figures are somewhat misleading, as each municipality includes different data, it does point out that our fee structure currently needs to be evaluated in terms of how much more we can be charging for program services. The City of Minnetonka is currently reviewing specific program fees and we hope to have a detailed report of how our program fees stand in relationship to other municipalities at the September Commission meeting. 10. CLOSING OUT OF SILVER VIEW PARK FUND: The City Council adopted a resolu- tion dated July 9, 1984 authorizing the transfer of $2,634 from the park improvement fund to close out the Silver View Park fund. This resolution formally closes the Silver View Park grant fund and our total City expend- itures to date for Silver View as $57,750 based on preliminary estimates. A complete breakdown on the cost versus revenue for Silver View Park dur- ing the past two years will be presented to the Park Commission once we do a final audit.
