ITEM 9
MEMO TO: Clerk-Administrator and City Council
FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development
IIIDATE: December 29, 1986
SUBJECT: COUNTY ROAD I RECONSTRUCTION FROM T.H. 10 TO I-35W
Attached please find the following :
1 . Letter from Ken Weltzin, Ramsey County Director and County
Engineer, dated December 18, 1986 .
2. Final Feasibility Report for the subject project dated
• December 15, 1986 .
3. Possible funding sources for City contribution dated
December 29, 1986
Ramsey County Public Works Department recommends reconstructing
County Road I with 4 travel lanes and curb and gutter . The road
is proposed to be 46 feet wide with no parking on either side.
The entire road surface is proposed to be concrete because two
St. Paul Water Utility conduits are located under the proposed
road .
Ramsey County estimated total cost for the project is .
$1 , 631 , 659.00 . The estimated total City contribution is
• $305, 313.00 . Possible funding sources for the City' s
contribution include M.S.A. , City Street Maintenance Program,
Storm Water Management Fund , General Fund , assessments and the
School District. Attachment #3 lists possible funding sources
for. the City' s contribution. Ramsey County policy is that the
City shall not utilize M.S.A. Storm Sewer. Funds on County
Reconstruction projects. Ramsey County requests that the City
utilize M.S.A. funds only for sidewalk, traffic signals and
right-of-way.
Ramsey County asks that the City of Mounds View approve the final
feasibility report and authorize the City Engineer to sign the
final feasibility report and return said report to Ramsey County.
Some issues need further discussion . One issue is, should we
install a sidewalk on the south side of County Road I ,
particularly in the area of Pinewood School? The cost of one 8 '
wide concrete sidewalk is included in the above cost estimate in
the amount of $96,046. A 5 ' wide concrete sidewalk costs
f� ._'1) $60 ,000 . If a sidewalk is installed on the south side of County
��� Road I , additional right-of-way will need to be purchased .
d�.e�.ddd Ramsey County estimates that the additional cost to purchase this
P right-of-way is approximately $90,000. The City may be able to
61iir acquire the right-of-way for considerably less than that figure.
-di The City will need to acquire right-of-way from the Tom Thumb
Store, apartment owners on the south sie of County Road I between
.,o4.06d 0 et/ XleI 1.

St. Stephen Street and Jackson Drive
and the property owners of
Mounds View Square. The precise size of
the easement cannot be
determined by Ramsey County until Ramsey County retains
consultants for this project.
Mary Saarion is in the process of asking the Parks and Recreation
Commission for their input on the location of the sidewalk on
County Road I .
There are several issues we should discuss on this project. Do
we want to assess a portion of this project, and if so, how
much? Do we want to negotiate with the County to see if we can
use some of the City's M.S.A. storm sewer funds on this project?
Do we want to approve the final feasibility study while reserving
the right to decide where the sidewalk should be located?
I look forward to discussing this project with you on Monday
night.

County Road I
from T.H. 10 to I-35W
Five copies of the final feasibility report for County Road I from T.H. 10 to I-35W
are enclosed. Please sign and return one copy for our files.
The report has been revised from the draft sent to Mounds View in June in this manner:
. 1. Letters from Mounds View and the Board of Water Commissioners have been
added to the appendix. A resolution from the Board of County Commissioners
has also been added.
2. As you requested, it is no longer assumed that the right of way on the south side
of County Road I will be a uniform 43 feet. Some additional permanent and
temporary right of way will be required in order to accommodate the proposed
construction. This right of way will be acquired at city expense.
3. The timeline has been revised to show construction as 1987, rather than 1988.
This is an optomistic estimate, but one we will try to attain.
4. The sections pertaining to traffic signal participation at County Road I and
Quincy Street have been revised.
5. A section on handling traffic during construction has been added.
6. Cost estimates have been revised to reflect traffic signal and right of way changes.
7. Note that the County's public hearing requirements (Public and Agency
Involvement) are usually satisfied by a hearing held by the city.
•
Our staff would like Mounds View to consider the provision of a sidewalk on the south
side of County Road I, particularly in the area near Pinewood School, to provide for
pedestrians there. Construction of the sidewalk is, of course, a city decision.
We look forward to continuing work with you on this project.

MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mary Saarion, Director
Parks , Recreation and Forestry
4111 DATE: December 26, 1986
RE: Aquatics Supervisor Joint Powers Agreement
The City of Mounds View received notification from the City of New
Brighton requesting the dissolving of the joint powers agreement
between the two cities for the Aquatics Supervisor position. It is
the opinion of the City of New Brighton that the joint powers
agreementwas notmeeting their needs . In particular, it was the
opinion that Aquatics Supervisor Pete Rechtzigel was not providing
adequate services to warrant the position. The contract ends as of
December 31 , 1986 and it is requested that the joint powers agreement
be dissolved.
It is my opinion that the joint powers agreement did not work for
several reasons .
1 . The position calls for the supervision of two beaches and two
pool programs. Past practice in the City of Mounds view shows
that one full-tame summer staff person was hired to operate the
functions of Lakeside Park beach and Edgewood Community Center
pool alone. The additional responsibilties of supervising a
newly constructed regional park beach facility (Long Lake
Regional Park beach) and the Highview School summer pool program
is an unrealistic task.
• 2 . Peter Rechtzigel was hired at the end of April, 1986 and was to
be operating all four facilities by May 24, 1986. It is again an
unrealistic expectation to have only one month to plan, organize,
interview, hire staff, organize instruction curriculum, train
staff, orientate staff with facilities , supervise beach
preparations, advertise activities , etc. Most of these tasks are
done January - April. Beach and pool staff are usually hired by
February. To expect one to accomplish all these tasks in one
month is unrealistic.
3 . Peter Rechtzigel supervised approximately 50 staff among the two
cities, 20 Mounds View staff and 30 New Brighton staff. Each
city had particular rules and regulations regarding pay scales ,
payment practices, school facility requirements, beach facility
needs, etc. It is very difficult to supervise 50 staff even when
everything remains the same. However, due to the requirements
and practices of individual cities , the supervision and
administration duties were difficult.
4 . It has been my experience in programming and supervising
activities that summer is so busy and fast paced that all
energies must be on the activities at: hand. It is not the time
for administrative research. Unfortunately, it was the
expectation that such projects as a pool and beach manual be
4111 written, as well as encouraging corporate participation in the
pool programs , etc. Needless to say, the summer duties did not
lend time for such endeavors . It is my opinion that this was an
unrealistic expectation for a summer task.
-2-
5. When reviewing Peter Rechtzigel' s application, one can see that
he had great experience as a Water Safety Instructor, Lifeguard
and other water operations . However, Peter had no real
• experience in administrative or programming of activities in a
municipal setting. It is therefore understandable that Peter
would need the benefits of trial and error that an experienced
administrator may not require. This should have been foreseen
when Peter was hired.
At the present time, Peter feels very frustrated and rightly so. The
joint powers agreement, I feel was unrealistic in expectations and the
amount of work responsibility is too broad for one person. It is my
opinion that the joint powers agreement is inappropriate for the
duties of an aquatics supervisor.
I wish to retain Peter Rechtzigel on a part-time basis as Aquatic
Supervisor at an hourly salary of $9. 13 . It is Peter' s desire to
remain with the City of Mounds View as Aquatics Supervisor until a
full-time job opportunity can be found. It is his expectation that he
will remain the Winter and perhaps Spring quarters but probably will
be gone by Summer quarter.
RECOMMENDATION To dissolve the joint powers agreement with the
City of New Brighton for an Aquatics Supervisor as of December 31 ,
1986 and to retain Peter Rechtzigel in the part-time postion of
Aquatics Supervisor at a salary of $9. 13/hour.

MEMO TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Mary Saarion, Director
Parks , Recreation and Forestry Dept .
DATE: January 14, 1987
RE: A list of amenities for consideration for Woodcrest Park
Staff pursued the possibility of getting the ditches on the west and
south sides of Woodcrest Park finished. It was explained to me that
there is basically no chances for such improvements to that storm
water sewer ditch in the near future because of the high cost,
priority ranking and ownership. The City owns the south ditch but the
west ditch is Ramsey County' s .
It is staff' s suggestion that the Commission bypass plans for the
ditch improvements and plan instead to develop the park with amenities
so that it can provide as many opportunities for usership as possible
as quickly as possible to meet the immediate needs of the residents in
the area.
Here is a list of amenities that staff believes would offer many
opportunities for usership and would beautify the park:
Play structure $ 9, 358.00
Sand and timbers (tot lot, parking lot, other1 , 595 .00
*Shelter windows and repair 3 , 000 .00
Landscaping of the ditch areas 500 .00
Two inground picnic tables 756.00
1111 Two benches 335 .00
Drinking fountain 977 .00
Bike rack 236.00
Heavy duty grill 252 .00
Miscellaneous expenses 3 , 000 .00
$20 , 009.00
*Landscaping the shelter will be done this summer with monies coming
from the Forestry fund.

Good Day:
The Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission is interested in
placing a new playground structure in the same area that the current
one lies at Woodcrest. Park, (Woodcrest Dr. and Silver Lake Rd. ) .
1111 Since most of the park seems to be on peat soil, we wish to be certain
that the structure lies on adequate soil and also wish to be given
suggestions as to adequate footings for a play structure.
Attached are future plans for the park as well as a current usage map.
I only ask for an price estimate for borings taken upon your
recommendation. The utilities will be located by NSP, NW Bell and the
City.
If you have additional suggestions , please call me at 784-3055. We •
hope to have this done as soon as possible and if the weather holds
out , it hopefully could be done in the near future.
I would be more than happy to meet you at the site for a closer look
at the area. Your prompt estimate proposal is appreciated.
Sincerely,

Attn: Ms. Mary Saarion, Director
SUBJ: Proposal for Subsurface Exploration
and Geotechnical Engineering Services
Proposed Wood Crest Park
Mounds View, Minnesota
#4200 87-295
Dear Ms. Saarion:
Twin City Testing Corporation is pleased to present this proposal
for conducting subsurface exploration and geotechnical engineering
services for your proposed park improvements. This proposal
11111
responds to a request by you through a letter dated December 29,
1986. Our proposal is intended to define work scope, schedule,
estimated costs, and other information regarding our services.
Project Information
Our understanding of this project is based on conceptual plans
supplied by you and also through a telephone conversation with you
on January 5, 1987. The proposed project involves improvements to
the existing park. The improvements will include a new playground
structure, as well as some hard surface court areas. The park
lies within a low lying area with possible peat deposits. We
assume that a truck mounted rig would be suitable for this
project.
Anticipated Subsurface Conditions
Based on your letter and past experience in the area, possible
peat deposits lie within this area. Other predominant soil types
in the area consist of lean clay tills.

Purpose of Study
We will obtain subsurface information, perform laboratory tests to
determine pertinent soil properties, and make geotechnical engineering
recommendations to assist you in planning and design of this project.
Scope of Services
In order for us to provide the geotechnical recommendations needed by
you, we suggest the following work scope:
1 . Put down two 15' auger borings, one in the vicinity of
the proposed playground structure and the second in the
proposed paved court area. The actual depth of the
borings may be increased or decreased depending on the
occurrence and extent of peat deposits.
2. Provide a written report which will include the results
of the field and any required laboratory testing. The
written report will also include recommendations
concerning the water table elevation and also required
111/1
excavation to competent soils.
Project Direction
The services we perform on your project will be done under the
direction of an experienced geotechnical engineer registered in the
state of Minnesota.
Insurance
For the mutual protection of you and Twin City Testing Corporation, we
maintain both general and professional liability insurance.
Certificates of such insurance can be provided at your request.
Fees
Our estimated fee for this project is $900. Our actual fee for the
project will be based on the attached fee schedule. Our fee will not
exceed the $900 maximum without your approval , however. If different
subsursurface conditions than those described above are encountered
which we feel would warrant additional work beyond the scope described
above, we would propose to perform such work at additional cost. If
this situation arises, we would discuss the additional work with you
and receive your approval before proceeding. The attached sheet
entitled "General Conditions of Geotechnical Agreement" is part of this
11111 proposal .

MEMO TO: Mounds View City Council
FROM: Wayne Burmeister, Chairperson
•
Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission
DATE: September 28, 1986
RE: 1987 Capital Improvement Plan
During the past six months, the Mounds View Parks and Recreation
Commission has been reviewing the comprehensive parks and open
space plan that was developed in 1980 , to determine how the plan -
could be implemented within the City' s current fiscal structure .
To that end , we have reviewed our five year capital improvement
plan for parks and have revised it to reflect an annual
expenditure of $72,000 - $96,000 for 1988 through 1992.
The Park Commission directed staff , approximately four months ago,
to develop cost estimates including detailed breakdowns for all
the capital improvements proposed within the City park system.
Following a detailed review of each of those documents, we
prioritized the park projects based on the following items :
1 . Environmental concerns and preservation of existing park
resources.
2 . Safety concerns and health concerns.
3. Current community voids and/or deficiencies as outlined in the
S .
City-wide parks system master plan .
4 . Aesthetics and/or general parkimprovements.
im rovements.
Based on this prioritization of needs and values, we hereby submit
our proposed capital improvement plan for the next five years.

• improvement A brief background on each of the capitalplans is as
p
follows :
. 1988
1 . Silver View Park parking lot. Paving of the Silver View Park
parking lot was ranked as the number one priority by the Park
Commission based on the current destruction and vandalism
that is occurring at Silver View Park due to our lack of bar-
riers and control in the parking lot area. The Park Commis-
sion feels strongly that Silver View is the central focus of
our park system and that based on environmental andsafety
concerns, as well as fulfilling community voids, it is our
highest priority. With the paving of the parking lotand
concrete curb and gutter to define the parking area, we will
be able to preserve the park in its natural state .
It should be noted that Silver View Park is the most heavily
used facility due to the extensive adult athletic play and we
feel that in addition to the reasons stated , pure numbers
justify the need for this improvement.

1989
1 . General skating - Greenfield Park. When Greenfield Park was
recentlyrenovated , the general skating area which was locat-
ed
•
on westend of the park was relocated to the southeast
the s
corner . The Greenfield Park skating facility serves both
the Oakwood and Greenfield Park areas. The $8 ,000 is to
regrade the site and place permanent light fixtures at the
facility to serve the residents in the northeast quadrant of
the City. This project ranked extremely high on both safety
concerns; as well as fulfilling a void of pleasure skating in
this quadrant of the City.
2. Oakwood Park multi-purpose court. This item was ranked high
due to the major community void centering around multi-
purpose courts. We currently do not have a multi-purpose
court other than Greenfield Park. Multi-purpose courts
provide a variety of recreational activities including bas-
ketball , four-square, hop scotch and other hard court surface
activities. We feel that Oakwood Park, with its high concen-
tration of young people, is an ideal location to develop our
first City multi-purpose court.
3. Woodcrest Park regrading. Woodcrest is currently in the
worst condition of any of the existing parks and is greatly
in need of general regrading and turf establishment. It is
the recommendation of the Park Commission that the storm
4111 sewer ditch currently running adjacent to the park on the
west and southern boundaries would also be completed at this
time with S.W.M. funds to give the park a more finished look.
The site is currently an eyesore and in need of general land-
scaping and turf establishment.
4. Ardan Park playstructure. This is an item that has been
requested by residents for a number of years due to the lack
of any type of park activity for young people in the area .
We feel that a small wooden play structure (above ground )
would fit well into the park area and will serve the immedi-
ate needs of the residents. In addition, the Park Commission
feels that site has been used exclusively for the City-wide
compost program and some type of facility for local residents
would be beneficial .
5. Building ' improvements at four sites. As you are aware, we
purchased three used school classroom facilities four years
ago and have been utilizing them extensively for not only our
winter skating program, but also our summer playground pro-
grams. It is our recommendation that the buildings be
upgraded from an energy conservation standpoint to include
the replacement of the existing single pane windows, caulking
of the frames, and installation of new windows at Woodcrest
Park. In addition, we would purchase a permanent floor sur-
face for each of the buildings to serve both the winter skat-
ing and summer usage. It should also be noted that City
recreation staff is now utilizing the buildings on a year-
round basis with a pre-school program at Groveland Park.

1990
4111
1 . Silver View bridge . This was ranked high due to the need for
a complete trail around the Silver View Park pond . In addi-
tion to completing the trail loop, it would also allow access
from the residents in the Mary Anderson single family homes
to the developed park area on the north side . The bridge
would also serve a functional purpoase as a fishing pier when
the pond is stocked by the DNR.
2. Silver View tot lot. As Silver. View Park is the major com-
munity park within the City, we feel that some type of major
tot lot equipment should be installed to complete the devel-
opment of facilities for all age. groups. We currently.do not
have any creative play area for the young people at Silver
View Park and it would be ideal due to the athletic use,
family hikes and walking that occurs throughout the site.
3. Random Park multi-purpose court. The multi-purpose court at
Random Park would be located in the southern half of the park
and would complete the development of Random Park. As you
are aware, staff installed a new play structure three years
• ago at Random Park along with regrading the site. By
installing a multi-purpose court, we would be able to
increase the use of that site in a heavy residential area.
4. Woodcrest multi-purpose court. This would provide our third
multi-purpose court within the City and serve the southwest
• corner of the City. It is our goal to have seven multi-pur-
pose courts located throughout each of. the City parks which
would still be twenty-two short of the national standards of
having one multi-purpose court per 500 people . The Mounds
View City Parks and Open Space Plan recommended nine, and
with the seven proposed , we feel we could meet the needs
within the City park system.
5. 72 inch rotary lawn mower. Two 72 inch rotary lawn mowers
were purchased in 1985 and it is staff ' s recommendation that
one of the mowers be replaced every five years and $19 ,000
has been budgeted to replace one of the two new mowing units.
1991
1 . Greenfield Park archery range . This project was listed as
a high priority in the Citywide parks and open space plan .
We have an ideal location in the northwest corner. of Green-
field Park. This proposed project will include the develop-
ment of four archery butts as well as a security fence around
the entire area.
2. Lights at Silver View Park. This is a major capital improve-
ment which would serve the adult softball fields at Silver
View Park which is currently the largest recreation program
• • within the City. With the addition of lights at Silver View,
we would not need to add additional ballfields within the
City. In addition, we would be able to have evening play for
both youth soccer and football at Silver View Park.
-5-
3. Oakwood picnic shelter . A small open air picnic shelter is
proposed at Oakwood Park to encourage use of the site and
• allow people an opportunity to picnic in a relatively densely
populated residential area.
4. City Hall multi-purpose court. This multi-purpose court
would complete the City Hall Park grounds and provide one
last amenity for the large community picnics and festival
celebrations that are held at City Hall Park.
1992
1 . Woodcrest tot lot. The tot lot equipment is currently 12
years old at Woodcrest Park and in 1992 will be 17 years old
and in need of replacement.
2. Lambert multi-purpose court. This is the last multi-purpose
court proposed in the City park system and would complete the
development at Lambert Park.
3. Hockey lights at Hillview Park. The current hockey lights at
Hillview Park are in extremely poor condition and are over 15
years old which will make them 20 years old in 1992. The new
system that we propose would be energy efficient and not only
would it greatly decrease our electrical costs, but it would
provide a higher level of "foot candles" in the rink area.
4. Oakwood Park play area. The play equipment at Oakwood Park
1111 is eight years old in great need of repair and replacement.
This was the last wood system that we have in the City and
would be replaced with a metal , steel or aluminum system.
5. Floating boardwalk at Silver View Park . This item would
place the entire trail at Silver View Park on park property
and would greatly enhance the trail experience . The board-
walk that we would be looking at would be similar to the
walkway at the Springbrook Nature Center or Roseville Central
Park. By adding this dimension at Silver View Park, we would
able to expand the program possibilities to include bird
observation decks and other areas for nature identification
along the trail area .
In addition, we would like to recommend that a joint meeting be
established with the City Council so that we can identify specific
funding sources to meeting the capital improvement plan as out-
lined . As you are aware, we have been unsuccessful with our past
park referendums and it is our recommendation that the City Coun-
cil begin to look at a permanent, long range solution to funding
park improvements. That recommendation was formalized at the July
21 Commission meeting. At that meeting, a formal motion was
passed unanimously recommending that the Park Commission recom-
mends to the City Council that a goal of $500 ,000 be established
for the park dedication fund with the dollars to be accumulated
over the next five years. Interest from the park dedication fund ,
in the amount of $35,000 - $40,000, would then be used to supple-
ment other City funding sources for developing long range capital
improvement projects. Possible methods for establishing the park
dedication fund over the next five years would be:
ti
-6-
1 . Dedicate a one mill levy over the next five years.
• 4110
2. Establish the fund which could then be built up to utilize
monies from the existing City fund balance reserves.
3. Dedicate the yearend general fund balance to the park dedica-
tion account.
4. Utilize interest from the special projects fund .
5 . Utilize monies from park dedications projects on a two-thirds/
one third basis, with two-thirds of all park dedication sub- •.
• division monies being allocated for park improvements in the
next five years.
6 . Establish City sponsored fund raising programs through neigh-
borhood park foundations with a goal of raising $100,000.
7 . Corporate gifts from local and surrounding community business-
es.
. 8 . Explore any other City fund dollars, including revenue shar-
ing, should they become available again .
In addition to the formal submission of this report, the Park
Commission would like to again request a meeting be established
with the City Council , City Finance Brayer, City Administrator
III Pauley and Acting Parks and Recreation Director Saarion to review
and identify specific funding sources so that the enclosed capital
improvement plan will become a reality.
We appreciate your review of this project, and look forward to
.successful implementation over the next two years.

11 January 5, 1987
Ramsey Y Count y Sheriff' s Department

St. Paul, MN 55112
Good Day:
A resident of Mounds View came to me today to express a great concern
regarding the number of three-wheel vehicles frequenting the Ramsey
County Rice Creek Open Space which IS located behind the Townsedge
Terrace Mobile Home Park. This resident was very concerned about the
harm to wildlife that these vehicles pose . Evidently deer, fox
• rabbits, minks, beavers , racoons , and other wildlife inhabit this
area. The trail along Rice Creek is an excellent place for hiking
especially for persons who wish to observe nature. However, the
three-wheel vehicles are damaging the foliage, seedlings, and terrain
of this nature area.
For these reasons, I ask that the Ramsey County Sheriff' s Department
consider means to curb this vehicle use. If "No Vehicles Permitted"
signs are approved, the City could easily post the area. Perhaps
frequent checks by patrolmen or rangers could be made in an effort to
curb this vehicle activity.
Your response to ways to preserve this fine natural open space would
be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
War..:::: ;;W*--e?-~o't._.1

MEMO TO: Mounds View City Council
FROM: Wayne Burmeister, Chairperson
•
Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission
DATE: September 28, 1986 .
RE: 1987 Capital Improvement Plan
During the past six months, the Mounds View Parks and Recreation
Commission has been reviewing the comprehensive parks and open
space plan that was developed in 1980, to determine how the plan
could be implemented within the City ' s current fiscal structure.
To that end , we have reviewed our five year capital improvement
plan for parks and have revised it to reflect an annual
expenditure of $72,000 - $96,000 for 1988 through 1992.
The Park Commission directed staff , approximately four months ago,
to develop cost estimates including detailed breakdowns for all
the capital improvements proposed within the City park system.
Following a detailed review of each of those documents, we
prioritized the park projects based on the following items :
1 . Environmental concerns and preservation of existing park
resources.
2 . Safety concerns and health concerns.
3 . Current community voids and/or deficiencies as outlined in the
S .
City-wide parks system master plan .
4 . Aesthetics and/or general park improvements.
Based on this prioritization of needs and values, we hereby submit
our proposed capital improvement plan for the next five years.

improvement A brief background on each of the capital plans is as
follows:
1988
1 . Silver View Park parking lot. Paving of the Silver View Park
parking lot was ranked as the number one priority by the Park
Commission based on the current destruction and vandalism
that is occurring at Silver View Park due to our lack of bar-
riers and control in the parking lot area . The Park Commis-
sion feels strongly that Silver View is the central focus of
our park system and that based on environmental andsafety
concerns, as well as fulfilling community voids, it is our
highest priority. With the paving of the parking lotand
concrete' curb and gutter to define the parking area, we will
be able to preserve the park in its natural state .
It should be noted that Silver View Park is the most heavily
used facility due to the extensive adult athletic play and we
feel that in addition to the reasons stated , pure numbers
justify the need for this improvement.

1989
. 1 . General skating - Greenfield Park. When Greenfield Park was
recently renovated , the general skating area which was locat-
ed on the west end of the park was relocated to the southeast
corner. The Greenfield Park skating facility serves both
the Oakwood and Greenfield Park areas. The $8,000 is to
regrade the site and place permanent light fixtures at the
facility to serve the residents in the northeast quadrant of
the City. This project ranked extremely high on both safety
concerns; as well as fulfilling a void of pleasure skating in
this quadrant of the City.
2. Oakwood Park multi-purpose court. This item was ranked high
due to the major community void centering around multi-
purpose courts. We currently do not have a multi-purpose
court other than Greenfield Park. Multi-purpose courts
provide a variety of recreational activities including bas-
ketball , four-square, hop scotch and other hard court surface
activities. We feel that Oakwood Park, with its high concen-
tration of young people, is an ideal location to develop our
first City multi-purpose court.
3. Woodcrest Park regrading. Woodcrest is currently in the
worst condition of any of the existing parks and is greatly
in need of general regrading and turf establishment. It is
the recommendation of the Park Commission that the storm
sewer ditch currently running adjacent to the park on the
west and southern boundaries would also be completed at this
time with S.W.M. funds to give the park a more finished look.
The site is currently an eyesore and in need of general land-
scaping and turf establishment.
4. Ardan Park playstructure. This is an item that has been
requested by residents for a number of years due to the lack
of any type of park activity for young people in the area .
We feel that a small wooden play structure (above ground )
would fit well into the park area and will serve the immedi-
l' ate needs of the residents. In addition, the Park Commission
feels that site has been used exclusively for the City-wide
compost program and some type of facility for local residents
would be beneficial .
5. 13uilding ' improvements at four sites. As you are aware, we
purchased three used school classroom facilities four years
ago and have been utilizing them extensively for not only our
winter skating program, but also our summer playground pro-
grams. It is our recommendation that the buildings be
upgraded from an energy conservation standpoint to include
the replacement of the existing single pane windows, caulking
of the frames, and installation of new windows at Woodcrest
Park . In addition, we would purchase a permanent floor sur-
face for each of the buildings to serve both the winter skat-
ing and summer usage. It should also be noted that City
recreation staff is now utilizing the buildings on a year-
round basis with a program ram at Groveland Park.

1990
Si . Silver View bridge. This was ranked high due to the need for
a complete trail around the Silver View Park pond . In addi-
tion to completing the trail loop, it would also allow access
from the residents in the Mary Anderson single family homes
• to the developed park area on the north side . The bridge
would also serve a functional purpoase as a fishing pier when
the pond is stocked by the DNR.
2. Silver View tot lot. As Silver. View Park is the major com-
munity park within the City, we feel that some type of major
tot lot equipment should be installed to complete the devel-
opment of facilities for all age. groups. We currently.do not
have any creative play area for the young people at Silver
View Park and it would be ideal due to the athletic use,
family hikes and walking that occurs throughout the site.
3. Random Park multi-purpose court. The multi-purpose court at
Random Park would be located in the southern half of the park
and would complete the development of Random Park. As you
are aware, staff installed a new play structure three years
ago at Random Park along with regrading the site . By
installing a multi-purpose court, we would be able to
increase the use of that site in a heavy residential area.
4. Woodcrest multi-purpose court. This would provide our third
multi-purpose court within the City and serve the southwest
• corner of the City. It is our goal to have seven multi-pur-
pose courts located throughout each of the City parks which
would still be twenty-two short of the national standards of
having one multi-purpose court per 500 people . The Mounds
View City Parks and Open Space Plan recommended nine, and
with the seven proposed , we feel we could meet the needs
within the City park system.
5. 72 inch rotary lawn mower. Two 72 inch rotary lawn mowers
were purchased in 1985 and it is staff ' s recommendation that
one of the mowers be replaced every five years and $1A ,000
has been budgeted to replace one of the two new mowing units.
1991
1 . Greenfield Park archery range. This project was listed as
a high priority in the Citywide parks and open space plan.
We have an ideal location in the northwest corner of Green-
field Park. This proposed project will include the develop-
ment of four archery butts as well as a security fence around
the entire area.
2. Lights at Silver View Park. This is a major capital improve-
ment which would serve the adult softball fields at Silver
View Park which is currently the largest recreation program
• within the City. With the addition of lights at Silver View,
we would not need to add additional ballfields within the
City. In addition, we would be able to have evening play for
both youth soccer and football at Silver View Park.
-5-
3. Oakwood picnic shelter. A small open air picnic shelter is
proposed at Oakwood Park to encourage use of the site and
• allow people an opportunity to picnic in a relatively densely
• populated residential area.
4. City Hall multi-purpose court. This multi-purpose court
would complete the City Hall Park grounds and provide one
last amenity for the large community picnics and festival
celebrations that are held at City Hall Park.
1992
1 . Woodcrest tot lot. The tot lot equipment is currently 12
years old at Woodcrest Park and in 1992 will be 17Y ears old
and in need of replacement.
2. Lambert multi-purpose court. This is the last multi-purpose
court proposed in the City park system and would .complete the
development at Lambert Park.
3. Hockey lights at Hillview Park. The current hockey lights at
Hillview Park are in extremely poor condition and are over 15
years old which will make them 20 years old in 1992. The new
system that we propose would be energy efficient and not only
would it greatly decrease our electrical costs, but it would
provide a higher level of "foot candles" in the rink area.
4. Oakwood Park play area. The play equipment at Oakwood Park
1111
is eight years via-in-Threat need of repair and replacement.
This was the last wood system that we have in the City and
would be replaced with a metal , steel or aluminum system.
5. Floating boardwalk at Silver View Park. This item would
place the entire trail at Silver View Park on park property
and would greatly enhance the trail experience . The board-
walk that we would be looking at would be similar to the
walkway at the Springbrook Nature Center or Roseville Central
Park. By adding this dimension at Silver View Park, we would
able to expand the program possibilities to include bird
observation decks and other areas for nature identification
along the trail area . •
In addition, we would like to recommend that a joint meeting be
established with the City Council so that we can identify specific
funding sources to meeting the capital improvement plan as out-
lined . As you are aware, we have been unsuccessful with our past
park referendums and it is our recommendation that the City Coun-
cil begin to look at a permanent, long range solution to funding
park improvements. That recommendation was formalized at the July
21 Commission meeting . At that meeting , a formal motion was
passed unanimously recommending that the Park Commission recom-
mends to the City Council that a goal of $500 ,000 be established
for the park dedication fund with the dollars to be accumulated
over the next five years. Interest from the park dedication fund,
• in the amount of $35,000 - $40,000, would then be used to supple-
ment other City funding sources for developing long range capital
improvement projects. Possible methods for establishing the park
dedication fund over the next five years would be:
-6-
1 . Dedicate a one mill levy over the next five years.
• . 2. Establish the fund which could then be built up to utilize
monies from the existing City fund balance reserves.
3. Dedicate the yearend general fund balance to the park dedica-
tion account.
4. Utilize interest from the special projects fund .
5 . Utilize monies from park dedications projects on a two-thirds/
one third basis, with two-thirds of all park dedication sub- •.
division monies being allocated for park improvements in the
next five years.
6 . Establish City sponsored fund raising programs through neigh-
borhood park foundations with a goal of raising $100,000.
7. Corporate gifts from local and surrounding community business-
es.
8 . Explore any other City fund dollars, including revenue shar-
ing, should they become available again .
In addition to the formal submission of this report, the Park
Commission would like to again request a meeting be established
with the City Council , City Finance i3rager, City Administrator
1111 Pauley and Acting Parks and Recreation Director Saarion to review
and identify specific funding sources so that the enclosed capital
improvement plan will become a reality.
We appreciate your review of this project, and look forward to
-successful implementation over the next two years.
