MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission
• FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Director
DATE: January 20, 1978
RE: Monthly Update - January 1978
The purpose of this report is to keep the Parks and Recreation Commission
informed on current issues within the Parks, Recreation and Forestry
Department that do not need official Commission action.
A resource file of related items will be placed in the City Hall office
and is available for review upon request.
1. Job Description - Staff is presently in the process of reviewing
and re-writing job descriptions for all departmental positions.
The job descriptions will be used in conjunction with the City
Wide performance review system which is presently being formulated.
The timeline for completion of the job description and performance
review guidelines is March 28, 1978.
A copy of the first draft job descriptions of all departmental
staff can be found in the January resource file.
2. Bikeway Grant - We received word from Mn DOT that they had received
• our preliminary grant application and are in the process of priori-
tizing the applications at this time. According to Mn DOT's timeline
we will he notified as to Mounds View's status sometime in early
February.
3. Bid Opening - The bids for the remodeling of the city hall basement
were opened on Thursday, January 19. A staff report is now being
prepared and hopefully the project will begin before the months end.
The basement remodeling encompasses new recreation offices, a
community room and possibly bathroom facilities. The new office
location will be warmly welcomed so that we can have our staff all
officed out of one room.
4. Bocce Ball Sets - Staff prepared a short resolution to be submitted
before the City Council for the acquisition of 2 Bocce Ball sets from
the State of Minnesota. Governor Rudy Perpich has set aside his 1978
salary increase for the purchase and distribution of Bocce Ball sets
to those communities requesting the same, through City Council resolutions.
5. Tree program - Staff has been corresponding with DesPeres, Missouri
in regards to the feasibility of a City Tree dedication policy. The
existing program in DesPeres is a simple one:
a . If a city resident wishes to donate a tree to their park system either
as a gift or memorial they contact the Recreation office.
•
Monthly Update -2- January 20, 1978
b. The necessary information is then recorded to see if the parties
wishes are in accordance with the Cities tree planting plan. •
c. Once the type and location of the donated tree is determined, the
donor mails a check for the purchase price and the Recreation
Department then plants the tree.
d. The donor's name is then placed on a plaque located in City Hall
along with a letter sent to the donating party, co-signed by the
Mayor and Park Board Chairman acknowledging their generous gift.
Staff feels this type of program is worthwhile on two accounts:
1. Increases City Wide tree plantings.
2. Improves public relations image.
Staff is presently developing a master planting plan for each park site
and will be recommending the initiation of a similar program once that
is completed.
6. Community Gardening - Staff has been actively researching the
development of additional programs in the area of community gardening.
The following programs will be initiated in the Spring of 1978:
a. 100 community garden plots prepared at the Silver View park site
for individual rental. •
b. Six gardening classes have been set up with Ramsey County extension
including Lawn Care, Flower Gardening, Pruning, Selection of
Shrubbery, Backyard Fruits and Vegetable Gardening.
c. Expansion of existing city nursery.
d. Development of a suburban gardeners "Farmer Market" program.
e. City Wide planting including formal plantings, rose gardens and
neighborhood park planters.

MEMO TO: Parks and Recreation Commissioners
FROM: Staff
• DATE: January 20, 1978
RE: Park Bond Referendum Survey
A survey was mailed to 97 municipal park and recreation, community education
and community services agencies throughout the state in late December. To date
we have received 47 replies for a 48.5% return. Of the returned surveys
21 communities had never had a bond referendum, 7 had one that failed and 19
had one that was successful.
Although the return was not exceptionally high, there were some "constants"
that appeared to surface:
1. Of the 21 that have not had a bond referendum, 5 of the communities
had tried referendums for other municipal services, i.e. library,
schools, city halls that had failed.
2. 17 of the 21 "nevers" feel there is no need for a referendum because
funds have been adequate from liquor revenue, park dedication or
state and federal monies.
3. 7 of the 21 "nevers" stated they felt their communities would not
support a referendum for a park. One community put it this way:
• "The chances of passing a park referendum is similar to the prospects
of Tampa Bay winning the Super Bowl. If it meant higher taxes our
residents would vote against breathing."
4. 11 of the 21 "nevers" city population was under 10,000 people.
5. The 7 unsuccessful referendums varied in size from 400,000 to 4.56
million.
6. 6 of the 7 referendums that failed, failed by at least a 2 to 1 margin.
7. 4 of the 7 "no's" had a referendum pass in their city for other
municipal services within the past 3 years.
8. The reasons listed as to why their referendums were not successful are
as follows:
a. Apparently the citizen did not want any more parks.
b. Citizen apathy or ignorance of the issue.
c. The proposed site was to close to another city - resident didn' t
feel they would benefit enough.
d. Poor timing - came out same time as tax statements.
e. The city had not established a successful enough track record.
f. Failure to convince people of the need.
• g. The dollar amount was too high and negative brochures were
distributed by opponents.
h. Lack of money and to close to other successful bond referendums.
ilr
-2-
9. 5 of the 7 "no's" said they do not envision another park referendum
in the future.
10. When asked what the "no" communities would do differently, they •
replied:
a. Keep dollar amount under a million.
b. Get more support from local civic groups.
c. Concentrate more on the labor unions and Sr. Citizen support.
d. Develop campaign over longer period (4-5 months) .
e. Develop a person to person contact.
f. Consider a two question bond issue, it gives the public something
to vote no on.
11. Main comment and frustration of "no" communities was the referendum
told them what community didn' t want but not what they wanted.
12. Of the 22 communities that were successful 13 passed by a 2 to 1 margin.
13. Of remaining 9 that passed 8 were within 100 votes.
14. The range on the "yes" was 100,000 to 3.6 million.
15. The breakdown on "yes" votes between acquisition and development is
as follows.
a. 5 were combinations close to 50-50.
b. 4 were at least 2/3 acquisition. •
c. 13 were at least 2/3 development oriented.
16. 7 of the 22 "yes" votes were for special use facilities, i.e. swimming
pool, community center or ice arena.
17. When asked what one major factor attributed to their referendums
success, the following responses were given:
a. Backing of strong athletic association and other civic groups.
b. Community residents support came from a grass roots level.
c. Careful study of community needs over a one year period.
d. Many interests were included in the plan.
e. Offered large variety of facilities in all parts of town.
f. The endless work by dedicated volunteers.
g. Just pure luck!
h. Lack of voter interest.
i. Luck - the less publicity the better.
j . Lack of existing park land.
k. Personal contact with each resident.
18. When asked which type of publicity was most effective, the following
were listed on most of the questionnaires; word of mouth, brochures,
newspaper and radio.
•
-3-
111
The following staff conclusions have been drawn from the questionnaire:
• 1. A strong grass roots citizen involvement is necessary.
2. Park Bond Referendums appear to be a controversial issue as 19
of the 26 city referendums either failed or passed by a 2 to 1 margin.
3. A bond referendum is usually a one time shot as 18 of the 26
cities who returned the questionnaire said they would not attempt
another referendum within 3 years.
4. There is no "pat" formula for the success of a Park Referendum.
5. The following "ingredients" appear to breed success:
a. Offer something for everyone.
b. Grass roots approach.
c. Development rather than acquisition.
d. A good track record from sponsoring agency.
6. Public hearings are not as successful as other means of promotion
and publicity.
7. There are two distinct approaches to bond referendums:
a. The so called "lucky approach" - that is a very low key approach
that "soft sells" the issue and only contacts the potential yes
• voters. This approach does not attempt to "sway" the no voters,
but rather make sure that the yes voters get out to vote.
b. The community "grass roots, rah, rah, give it all you got" approach
involves a great deal of citizen input at a neighborhood level. This
approach attempts to "hard sell" the issue and inform each resident
on a personal basis.
Copies of the completed referendum surveys are available for Commission
review in the January resource file.

used for the creation of new park and recreation facilities by communities
throughout the State of Minnesota and,
WHEREAS these funds are administered by a local unit of government
that has the ability to best determine their own needs and,
WHEREAS these funds have been available to park and recreation
units for the expressed purpose of redeveloping or providing additional
,community facilities and,
WHEREAS the development of new park and recreation facilities 'to
a benefit to all residents of a community regardless of their economic
status and, •
WHEREAS the Council recognizes the need to emphasize the construction
and development of park and recreation facilities that would be of most
benefit to low and moderate income persons and,
WHEREAS the Council feels that the federal regulations proposed for
Community Development Block Grants by the Department of Housing and Urban
Development is not in the best interest of all communities.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the

RE: H.U.D. Resolution
Attached you will find a resolution from the M.R.P.A. State Legislative
Committee concerning the upcoming changes proposed for the Community

RE: Lakeside Park Commission
Enclosed you will find a copy of a report outlining the staff position
on the Lakeside Park Issue. This issue will be discussed at the regular
City Council agenda session scheduled for January 30. The City Councils
recommendation will then be discussed at the Lakeside Park Commission
meeting on February 9 at 7:30 p.m. at the new Spring Lake Park City Hall.
This matter is being brought to your attention for three reasons:
1. If the attached recommendations were to be adopted, a Parks and
Recreation Commissioner would need to be appointed as liaison
between the two commissions.
2. The possibility of becoming the "governing agent" would entail a
great deal of policy making and decisions in the near future.
3. To determine if there is commission interest in attending the
February 9 meeting to voice the Mounds View Park Commissions
stance on the issue.
• For additional information, contact Judy Rowley, the present City Council
liaison commission representative or Jerry Linke, Mounds View resident and
past Lakeside Park Commission chairman.

MEMO TO: Mark -N,
FROM: Bruce
DATE: January 16, 1978
RE: Lakeside Park Commission
•
After reviewing the current status and past history of the Lakeside Park
Commission, the following has come to light:
1 . Lakeside Park is an extremely valuable community resource as it
presently is the only lake frontage available for aquatic activities
serving the City of Mounds View and Spring Lake Park. In addition
it is the only park that provides tennis courts, tot lot, ballfields
and picnic area for family programming.
2. The existing Lakeside Park Commission is not operating as effective
as it possibly could be due to:
a. Poor attendance at Commission meetings
b. Lack of professional expertise
c. Apparent dissension amongst existing members
3. There is no long range goals or master plan developed for Lakeside Park.
4. Attendance at Commission sponsored programs has dropped in recent years.
5. Operating costs are increasing yearly.
With the aforementioned criteria in mind, staff would recommend the following
111/ plan of action for the development and upkeep of Lakeside Park.
1 . Chapter 50 of the Mounds View municipal code should be reviewed and
updated by the City Council .
2. The Lakeside Park Commission should remian the "governing authority"
over Lakeside Park with the following board makeup:
a. Park and Recreation Directors from Spring Lake Park and Mounds View
b. City Councilperson from each city
c. A representative from each City Park and Recreation Commission
d. One member at large from each community
Each of the Commissioners would be official appointees from their respective
City Councils.
The Commissions role would be official appointees from their respective
City Councils.
The Commissions role would be policy and advisory oriented with legal authority
remaining with each respective City Council .
3. One municipality or county should be appointed as the responsible agent
for overseeing the day to day operations of Lakeside Park to include,
maintenance, program and long range planning.
•
i
Memo to Mark -2- January 16, 1978
After speaking with each of the respective agencies the following was found:
a. Spring Lake Parks, staff and Park Commission felt that they were
not in a position to assume the additional work load at this time
unless additional staffing and monies were allocated.
b. Anoka and Ramsey County staff stated that they did not feel
Lakeside Park would conform with their existing criteria for
County Park land, i .e. size, regional significance and type of
facilities.
c. Mounds View staff feels that they could manage Lakeside Park with
existing staff personel if a mutually agreeable financial arrangement
was adopted, by the respective City Councils.
At this time the issue of which agency is best equiped to manage Lakeside Park
is debatable, but the need to designate one responsible agent would appear
eminent.
4. A listing of long and short range goals should be developed based on
a comprehensive Master Plan that should be developed and adopted by
the respective City Councils and Lakeside Park Commission.
5. A needs assessment study should be completed to determine and insure
community input for future programming and development directions.
6. Budgetary matters should be the responsibility of one agency in
conjunction with the Lakeside Park Commission and City Councils. By
having one agency responsible for fiscal matters, many of the existing
budgetary problems could be reduced i .e. insurance, advertising,
workmans compensation and park maintenance. 110
7. A community task force should be created to examine the existing fees
and charges structure. Possible areas to be re-examined are:
a. Examine existing concession profit and loss structure
b. Increase present swimming instruction cost
c. Possible yearly permit fee for families, car parking, etc.
The next Lakeside Park Commission meeting will be Thursday, February 9 at
7:00 p.m. at Spring Lake Park Community Center.
The Lakeside Park Commission will be looking for City Council and Staff input
at that time.
Feel free to give me call to discuss this matter further.

• Meeting #15
July 6, 1978
The meeting was called to order by Chairperson P. Sargent.
Attendance was taken and established that 14 members were present. At this

motion was made but not carried.
Above motion was amended to wind up Task Force as soon as possible.
M/S/C (14 yes 0 no)
Mayor Pickar indicated that the Councilmembers were present to answer any
questions the Task Force might have.
The Councilmembers were questioned about "Policy Guidelines". Mayor Pickar
indicated the guidelines were not available. 2i1
There are now 15 members present.
B. Abbott asked Mayor Pickar about exemption, on any storm sewer improvements ,
for senior citizens. Mayor Pickar thought it might be illegal to totally
exempt anyone from payment. R. Baumgartner suggested asking the village
attorney to give an opinion on this matter.
Remarks by Councilmembers Rowley and Ziebarth as reported in the 5/22/78
Council meeting minutes, concerning exemptions for senior citizens, were read.
D. Notaro indicated to the Councilmembers he was cautiously optimistic
about help for his storm water problems.
N. Loeding and P. Sargent indicated they will do what they can to complete
this job, since it appears that the City engineer will not be able to finish
work on the "pilot study" requested by the Task Force.
The Councilmembers left at this time. We now have 16 members present.
Discussions of B. Abbotts study ensued, about extra large lots , and exemptions
of assessments.
We now have 18 members present.

D. Lykke volunteered to call the Attorney Generals office to ask about
senior citizens exemption of assessment.
We now have 19 members present.
D. McCarty visited and submitted Laws on deferments for senior citizens.
P. Sargent read the progress report of the Senior Citizens Committee:
Submitted by Senior Citizens Committee of Task Force 7/6/78 - Progress Report
Our Committee has checked with many State offices, and the Metropolitan
Council to gather information relative to senior and disabled home owners
residing in Mounds View. The "Circuit Breaker" figures indicate that there
are 114 homeowners aged 65 or over, and 34 homeowners who are disabled. A
questionaire reaching all residents might give us a more complete count.
A paper putting forth suggestions to provide assessment payments relief
for seniors, disabled, and people with oversized, undivideable lots was
prepared. It was submitted to the Task Force, and the Council . The Task
Force has discussed it, and it should be approved at our July 6 meeting. 41/0
The Council has expressed an interest in discussing it.
M/S/C that the above report be accepted as information to be used in the
Task Force final report. (19 yes 0 no)
P. Sargent read the (Izaak Walton League) paper written by J. Fahrmann,
entitled "Resolution: Hold Natural Systems and Land Forms as Inviolate".
One member left early.
RESOLUTION: HOLD NATURAL SYSTEMS AND LAND FORMS AS INVIOLATE. 5/18/78
Environmental problems, in part are a result of poor or no planning. This
resolution will encourage much planning. In addition, because development
continues to proceed based on economic and not environmental considerations,
natural , balanceG hydrologic systems are being upset. Natural water storage
areas are filled or drained, natural water drainage is increased by impervious
surfaces, and efficient, man-made drainage. routes, such as street gutters and
storm drains. The result is flooding , which requires control measures ; and
causes decreased water quality, which is dangerous to health if used for human
or animal consumption (e.g. lead contamination of street and hyway runoff) .
The human mental and physical environment is also damaged aesthetically through
loss of natural contours and loss of wildlife. This type of degadation
encourages urban sprawl to less developed, wilder, more aesthetically pleasing
areas. However, the economics of development will gradually degrade these
areas also, contributing to further urban sprawl . The zoning required by this
resolution would have the beneficial effect of removing environmentally valuable
or unsafe land from speculation.

• Meeting #15

THE RESOLUTION:
1. Natural water systems shall be inviolate.
No development shall alter the rate, quantity or quality of surface or
subsurface water, draining from, through or to the land developed. Water
leaving the developed area shall continue to flow in its established
patterns and routes.
Natural water routes , ponds , marshes , peatlands , etc. shall not be altered,
except as needed to retain or conduct away storm water. In any case they
shall not be decreased in size.
A margin of natural land shall be left around such areas, as open space
to be used for wildlife or as parks.
No development will be allowed in an area possible to flood.
2. Natural land forms shall be inviolate.
To maintain the historical , natural topographic land features, which
have great aesthetic value, and to encourage open space, land would
be suitable for building only if the only excavation necessary would
be for the building itself. Thus hills would not be cut down; low
spots would not be filled, and the land would not become monotonous.
Addition
Farmland use:
Farm-land would not be altered regarding the draining of low spots.
Undesirable (prone to erosion land would not be row cropped, or even
used as pasture if danger great enough) land would be limited in use.
Desirable crop land would not be developed for housing, or used for
commercial or industrial tracts (large).

M/S/C The Task Force adopt the above amended report as information to be used
by the Task Force in the final report. (18 yes 0 no)
N. Loeding reported that the City Council ordered studies of two areas of
• storm drainage problem, and has requested, from the Task Force, names of
engineering firms for one of these studies. We would like to recommend
firms that are noted for taking advantage of natural drainage opportunities.
However, it does not make sense for such a firm to study a highly built up
area, such as that along Woodcrest Drive, while a "big pipe" outfit studies

the relatively undeveloped area along Ardan Avenue. Therefore , the Task Force
suggests either Barr Associates, (the city engineers for Eden Prairie) or
Schoell & Madsen of Hopkins , for the study of Ardan Avenue while the firm
chosen by the City Council should be given Woodcrest Drive.

RECREATION ACTIVITY FUND
III
This fund provides an accounting record of all recreation programs supported by user fees.
Increases in expenditure levels generally represent additions of new programs and expansion
of existing programs. The tremendous increase in the T-Baseball program necessitated
purchase of extra ball equipment that will be used in future years' programs. Purchase
of such equipment in several programs produced a sizeable Fund deficit in 1976 that will
gradually be reduced as equipment is reused and additional program fees received. .
Participation in recreation fee programs has steadily increased since their inception in
1974 and currently totals over 11 ,000 registrations annually.
