We will be meeting at Groveland Park building as suggested at last month's meeting. This will give us an opportunity to consider options for replacement of playground equipment at Groveland Park.

MOUNDS VIEW PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION • MEETING MINUTES OF APRIL 24, 1997 CITY HALL 6:30 P.M. CALL TO ORDER: Chair Burmeister called the meeting to order. ROLL CALL: Commissioners present included Chair Burmeister, Commissioners Dentz, Gunn, Starr, Long, Stevenson and Silvis. Director Saarion was also present. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Commissioner Silvis made a motion seconded by Commissioner Long to approve the minutes of March 20, 1997. • Motion passed, 7 aye, 0 nay. COMMUNITY CENTER UPDATE: Director Saarion reported that City Administrator Whiting and City Attorney are working with the partnering groups including Children's Home Society, School District and VB Diggs to formulate agreements. The City Council and City Administrator will be working on other issues regarding funding options, facility options and operating options. COALITION FOR HEALTHY YOUTH: This was provided as information regarding the efforts of a multi-faceted community group that is organizing information and direction for community groups such as the Parks and Recreation Commission regarding priorities for building assets for youth. The idea is that it takes efforts by everyone, every group to provide opportunities for youth. Parks and Recreation is a key player in providing youth with constructive activity • opportunities during leisure or discretionary time. DOG/GEESE DO-DO: Commissioners discussed the problem with geese droppings at Silver View Park and also Lakeside Park. Director Saarion reported information from Lake Restoration regarding a deterrent - a grape concentrate sprayed on the grass which is distasteful to geese. Commissioner Gunn made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Silvis to continue with the three water treatments and forego the geese treatment. Motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Starr requested that staff look into plastic swans as a way of deterring geese if the problem persists. TRASH CONTAINERS: Staff reported on a request from a resident living in the Manor Homes abutting Silver View Park path for replacement of barrel type trash receptacles to be replaced with decorative trash receptacles. Commissioners discussed whether or not decorative trash containers along the path fit into the Park Plan for improvements as well as the practicality of having decorative trash containers along the path versus in more "trash" areas such as picnic shelters, ball fields and playground areas. Commissioners discussed whether or not the homeowners association would consider contributing funding for the purchase of a trash container. After discussion a motion was made. Commissioner Starr made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Long to order and put in one decorative trash receptacle. Motion passed unanimously. PROGRAM UPDATES: Director Saarion reported that department operations were going along much better than anticipated, that staff is discovering new and more efficient and effective ways of doing things - empowering groups and associations to be more self-sufficient. Saarion reported that summer programs will be similar in numbers and variety as other years. It was also reported that former intern Andy Singleton began work April 14 and will remain throughout the summer, with the understanding that Andy will continue to seek full time work. Mike, Schnur will be an intern beginning May 27. Another intern is considering this site for her work. Director Saarion informed the Commission that the Lion's Club had assumed the leadership of the Festival parade and that the Festival Committee was assuming more of the leadership of the Festival activities. This removes much of the responsibilities from Department staff and makes for a more community orientated • celebration and puts more ownership on the businesses and • community groups and organizations. Gary Stevenson reported on the O'Neill property project stating that the request for paved pathways connecting Silver View Park path and along Hwy 10 were in the plan. Gary Stevenson also reported that the request for trails in the plans of the Wieneke Property development has been conveyed. Whether or not they will be included in the final plan and design is yet to be determined. NEXT MTG. It was agreed that the next meeting will be held at Groveland Park building so that the Commission can evaluate the playground equipment at this park and formulate ideas for new playground. ADJOURNMENT: Motion was made by Commissioner Silvis and seconded by Commissioner Long to adjourn the meeting. Motion passed unanimously. • • interoffice • MEMORANDUM to: Parks and Recretion Commission from: Mary Saarion, Director subject: Athletic Facility Study date: May 14, 1997 The Mounds View School District and the Parks and Recreation Department of the Cities of Mounds View, New Brighton, Arden Hills and Shoreview along with various youth athletic associations are working on the completion of an athletic facilities inventory and need analysis and demand forecast. The project is hoped to be concluded by July so that information can be used in the budget planning process. The goal is to have a plan and program by which athletic facility demands can be met now and in the future. I have compiled an inventory of athletic facilities in the City of Mounds View and have identified the uses or restrictions in use for each facility. This information along with other cities will be compiled and analyzed with the needs and demands of various groups and organizations. A report will be prepared which will indicate future needs. This will give each city information that can be used in future planning. • interoffice MEMORANDUM• to: Mr. Greg Ingraham from: Mary Saarion, Director of Parks and Recretion subject: Inventory of athletic fields in Mounds View date: May 13, 1997 I look forward to conclusions as a result of your study and analysis of the school district and cities therein inventory of athletic facilities and future needs.

Mary Saarion Parks Director City of Mounds View 2401 Highway 10 Mounds View, MN 55112 Dear Mary: The City Council, when we met with them at their workshop in March, requested that we provide a description of our operations at the yard waste site on Long Lake Road. Since then we have been working with the County Public Works Department to refine the design for the improvements to that site, including shifting to a south to north drive-through approach. Here is a summary of our operations . We have more detailed operations plans, which we can make available upon request . 1 . Site Dates and Hours In general, the site is open in the spring, summer and fall, for 38 • hours per week, five days per week. For 1997 : * March 31 through November 30 , 1997, weather permitting. * Saturday, 9-5; Sunday, 11-5 . * Monday, Wednesday, and Friday: 3/31-5/31 : 11-7; 6/1-9/29 : noon-8 ; 10/1-11/30 : 10-6 . * Closed Tuesday, Thursdays, July 4 , Labor Day. 2 . Types of Waste Accepted * Only soft-bodied plant material is accepted, including leaves, grass clippings, weeds, and garden waste. * Brush and other woody waste are not accepted. We provide customers with information about disposal for these waste types . 3 . Site Users * Ramsey County residents can bring in their own yard waste and take finished compost and wood chips. It is not cost-effective to screen out non-Ramsey residents, so some Anoka County citizens use the site . We strongly discourage this. * Lawn services, waste haulers, and other commercial operations are not allowed to use the sites . 4 . Site Monitor * A County-employed site monitor is on duty during all hours the site is open. • Minnesota's First Home Rule County printed on recycled paper With a minimum of 10%postconsumer content Letter to Mary Saarion May 1, 1997 • Page Two * The monitor opens and closes the locked gates, directs traffic, ensures that only acceptable yard waste materials are deposited, ensures that residents take their containers or bags back with them, counts the number of users of the site, and performs related duties . * The monitor has a cellular phone for communication with other Division of Solid Waste staff and for emergencies. John Springman or other designated staff are available to the monitor by telephone or pager whenever the sites are open, including evenings and weekends . * Lighting will be added as part of the site improvements . The lights will only be on when needed, which is generally in the fall when daylight hours are getting shorter. The lights will have a manual switch box that is locked. The site monitor will have a key and will control the lights . 5 . Traffic and Dust Control * Currently ingress and egress to the site are from a two-lane road at the south edge of Ardan Park. Traffic enters the site through the east gate and exits through the west gate . * When the site improvements are made later this year, traffic will continue to enter at the south edge of the park, and then will leave through a gate on the north side of the site that leads to • a new exit to be constructed on Long Lake Road. * The Division of Solid Waste mitigates dust by directing the County' s dust control vendor to apply dust suppressant materials on a regular basis . * The site improvements will include paving the entrance and exit of the site and improving the site surface with recycled asphalt millings . These improvements should help reduce or eliminate dust . 6 . Composting and Hauling of Yard Waste * Some leaves are composted on-site. The Division of Solid Waste directs its contractor, currently A-i Walsh, to pile these leaves into windrows and to turn them periodically when wind conditions are favorable . Turning helps to aerate the pile, which creates conditions for faster composting while reducing the potential for odor generation. * Because the site is small, A-i Walsh hauls out a significant volume of leaves, which exceed the composting capacity of the site, to the County' s composting site in White Bear Township. * During June-September, when the yard waste received is predominantly grass clippings, all yard waste is hauled out by A-i Walsh twice per week (currently Mondays and Thursdays) to a private vendor for landspreading or composting. * Finished compost is made available for residents to take, free of charge . The Division of Solid Waste also provides some compost 411 to non-profit agencies, including municipalities . Letter to Mary Saarion May 1, 1997 • Page Three 7 . Illegal Dumping * Should any dumping of yard waste or other materials occur outside the gate or fence, the site monitor is responsible for cleaning up these materials or for contacting other County staff. * In some cases the County' s contracted transportation and maintenance vendor, A-1 Walsh, cleans up illegally dumped materials if found when this firm is scheduled to perform other ' operations at the site . * The County Community Corrections Department also periodically picks up litter and maintains the site. 8 . Other Operational Issues * Any complaints about site operations should be directed to John Springman or his designee, using the Division of Solid Waste' s main number, 773-4444 . Residents can also report a complaint to the site monitor, who will relay it to John. * The Division provides and maintains several signs for the site . * The Division provides wood chips, when available, at its sites for free pickup and use by residents (we have had difficulty obtaining good quality chips this past year) . * Master Gardeners are available at several scheduled times at the site to answer lawn and garden question and to distribute • information from the Minnesota Extension Service on lawn care and backyard composting. We hope this summary of our operating procedures is helpful . As always, if you have any questions or comments, please contact us. (John Springman at 773-4448 is the primary contact for site operation issues, and Michael Reed at 773-4443 is his backup. Norm Schiferl is the contact for solid waste policy and permitting issues related to this and other sites . ) Sincerel , ohn Spr ng man yNorm Schiferl nv ironmental Health Specialist 114—/ Program Analyst enc . cc : Zack Hansen, Division Manager Michael Reed, Environmental Health Specialist 111 Intertainment in the Parks 3 Bring your whole family to enjoy the variety of FREE entertainment we have planned this summer.

CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW • FESTIVAL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES Tuesday, April 22, 1997 CALL TO ORDER: Co-Chair Theresa Cermak called the meeting to order at 4:00 p.m. ROLL CALL: Members present included: Co-Chairs Theresa Cermak and Carol Johnson, Pete Severson, Debbie Miller, Steve Schack, Don Hodges, Amy Hodges, Jeanne Kassim, Mrs.Saldana, and Tom Vanmeter from Lillie Suburban Newspapers. Staff present included Marvin Johnson and Mary Saarion. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Motion was made by and secondec by to approve the minutes of April 8, Motion passed unanimously. BUDGET: Current list of encumbered costs, expected costs and expected revenue as well as revenue received to date was reviewed. Members were asked to prioritize expenses so • that when money becomes available, prioritized items can be ordered. It was suggested that the T-shirts for sale and for committee members be stricken and in its place sell more neon ropes, which have proven to be a better revenue producer. Motion was unanimously passed. Another suggestion was to coorinate with the Lion's on the use of 2-way radios - having the Lion's use them in the morning during the parade and the Festival Committee use them during the afternoon and evening during Festival activities - each paying half the cost. Another suggestion was to look into the most inexpensive portable restroom costs. The parade will need portable restrooms and the Festival will also need portable restrooms. It was suggested that the old Festival T-shirts should be sold at the information booth, for an inexpensive price - to get rid of them. Whatever is sold will be • revenue for Festival operations. COMMITTEE REPORTS: • PARADE: Two bands have been confirmed (the two that had originally confirmed attendance) Albert Lea and Irondale. The bands will be judged. The Lion's parade committee is working hard on organizing the parade. DONATION JARS: Theresa Cermak reported that all the donation jars have been delivered to various business places. She will check the jars every week and bring in money for deposit into the Festival fund. ENTERTAIN- MENT: The motion was made by Pete Severson and seconded by Mrs. Saldana to give authority to Pat Michna to confirm and contract entertainment for the Festival for the $2,000 budgeted amount. Motion passed unanimously. CAR SHOW: Car show is all set, flyers available. Pete wants to purchase the trophies but is waiting on the sponsor's money to come in first. • FOOD: Ramsey County umbrella permit has been submitted. Individual forms must be completed and return from the various community groups. The forms must be sent in to Ramsey County. PUBLICITY: From Lillie Suburban Newspapers was present. He showed the advertising magazine that was prepared and distributed last year. He promised that the same kind of piece could be prepared this year. There is no charge for this. Revenue from various ads are solicited by the paper staff and used to pay for the advertising. It was decided that the magazine would be sent out the week before the Festival. Information on Festival activities and schedule of events must be submitted to the paper. Kathy Harrer will be in charge providing the information.

We are researching programs that have high resident participation ratios, costs of programs that seems to be acceptable, activities for different age groups that seems to have the most interest, and trips and special events that have the greatest participation levels. We are looking to alternative fee schedules, evaluating activity expense options and programrevenue options. In addition, we are seeking information on ways to increase resident participation as well as benefit financially from non-resident participation. Staff will be asking the Commission to review and consider various recreation program policies especially as we begin to plan for recreation programs and activities at the Community Center. One such policy that Roseville administers is non-resident fees for adult athletic teams beyond adult softball. With the facilitation of a new gymnsium at the Community Center, policies will 410 need to established which prioritizes resident's use. Attached is a simple policy from the City of Roseville which simply charges non-resident participants additional fees.
