Dear Parks and Recreation Commissioners:
Thursday, May 22 is our scheduled Parks and Recreation Commission meeting for May. 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.
Since there are no "hot issues" on the agenda, we can devote the bulk of our time in considering
parks capital replacement needs and any additional funding requests for subsidized recreation
programs. Staff will incorporate your suggestions and requests in the preparation of the 1998
budget.
If you are unable to attend the meeting, please call and notify me at my new office number 717-
II 4041. The City now has voice mail and therefore we each have our own phone number, as well
as a message system for occasions when we are on the telephone or away from our desks.
Sincerely,
r <---

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.

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.

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.

Letter to Mary Saarion

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 .

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 . )

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.

MEMORANDUM
to: Parks and Recreation Commission
from: Mary Saarion, Director of Parks, Recreation& Forestry
subject: Program Evaluations
date: May 22, 1997
Over the past months staff has been doing a pretty detailed evaluation of recreation programs and
activities. 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.
