3o IV. REVIEW WATER TOWER PARK PROGRESS TO DATE.
31 Jindra noted that Augie Wong had confirmed that a July 19, 1999 deadline will be met. Hartman
32 added the deadline will be met if weather permits. Wolff asked whether a construction update
33 could be provided for the Commission's information. Hartman agreed to provide such an update,
34 or obtain it from Augie Wong.
35
36 Jindra presented a depiction of the proposed playground equipment, noting the majority of the
37 equipment is intended for use by children ages 6-12 with smaller areas for younger children. She
38 noted special activity panels had been added to make the area more unique. She added the color
39 scheme, originally intended to be tan and green, now includes some red as a max fitness unit had
40 a built-in red slide.
41
42 Jindra stated the equipment should be installed by the Commission's next meeting on July 12.
43 She reiterated the play area will be challenging to the targeted age group but also includes items
44 to accommodate tots.
45
16 Roadfeldt stated the plan seems to have fewer slides than agreed upon by the Commission.
47 Jindra stated the angle of the depiction was deceptive and some of the slides were not visible.
48
Parks Commission Meeting Minutes

1 Koehntop asked whether the drawing includes trees along 33rd Avenue, and whether these would
2 be planted for the grand opening. Jindra stated that Augie Wong had provided a diagram listing
3 all the trees to be planted. Hartman stated the trees will be planted as part of the contract.
4
5 Louiselle asked whether the type of trees to be planted along 33rd Avenue had been decided
6 upon. Koehntop stated it was not discussed but the Commission would need to make a decision.
7 Hartman stated the trees will be one of the last things completed.
8
9 Jindra stated Wagner had indicated at a recent meeting that the Kiwanis organization had funds
10 for possible use in the play area, and the Commission might want to consider accepting a
1 t donation for gliders which had not been budgeted. Louiselle agreed to review the glider
12 information received by the equipment subcommittee. Jindra agreed to contact Wagner.
13
14 Jindra stated that some of the fencing along 33rd Avenue will be wrought iron, and she noted a
15 beautiful wrought iron fence she had seen on Boom Island. She added this is already included in
16 the budget. Hartman stated he would request a depiction of the proposed fencing from BRW.
17
18 Jensen stated the plan includes amur maples along 33rd Avenue as well as shrubs and shrub
19 roses. Koehntop noted the maples are a hedge -like tree. Hallada stated they are attractive and
20 bushy, and turn red in the fall, but in her opinion would not be suitable along a boulevard.
21 Roadfeldt expressed concern that such a bush would obstruct the view of the park from the street.
22
23 Koehntop suggested a regular maple would be more appropriate, and would provide a canopy.
24 He added that lindens might be appropriate, which grow fast and are already along the tennis
25 courts. Hallada agreed that lindens would be a nice alternative. Koehntop and Hallada agreed to
26 meet before the Commission's next meeting to discuss alternatives and make recommendations
27 to the Commission. Hartman agreed to inform BRW that the Commission was reviewing
28 alternative landscape plans. Jindra requested that Hallada receive a copy of the site plan.
29
30 V. SILVER POINT PARK UPDATE
31 Jindra noted the Commission had toured the Silver Point Park site and construction is
32 progressing nicely with a few exceptions.
33
34 Jindra stated the ballfield backstops may be too low and additional posts or netting may be
35 necessary on one of the fields. Jensen confirmed both fields will require additional backstop.
36
37 Jindra stated the issue of bleacher safety should be discussed. Hartman stated a new set of
38 bleachers had been ordered at a total cost of $4,000, and an additional set would need to be
39 ordered.
40
41 Jindra stated the Commission had requested that BRW install additional grate bars where water
42 enters the park to provide safety, as there is currently too much space between the ground and the
43 grates.
44

I Wolff stated the construction is back on its original schedule after losing a month due to the
2 weather. Jindra noted the construction will still be completed by July 7, weather permitting.
3
4 Louiselle asked whether the field grade will be acceptable for hockey rink flooding in the winter.
5 Hartman stated the portable hockey rink system will be installed at the westerly edge of the park
6 with a grade of no more than 2%.
8 Wolff asked whether the shelter would be completed by July 7. Hartman stated the shelter is not
9 part of the contract, and the City has worked with various shelter vendors which can be reviewed
10 by the Commission.
11
12 Jensen asked whether a final plan is available for the Commission's review. Hartman stated he
13 would contact BRW to have a final plan prepared for the Commission.
14
15 Jindra stated that BRW's original drawings depicted a smaller ditch than that which was
16 constructed. She added the Commission should have been notified, and such lack of
17 communication is inappropriate. Hartman stated there were no major changes made to the plan.
18 Wolff stated the Commission as non-professionals need clarification in simple terms.
19
Jindra stated the Commission had a joint meeting with the City Council on June 1, and the
Council requested that the Commission consider whether such joint meetings are helpful, and
22 how often they should be held. Kosciolek added in her opinion the meeting was made up of
23 reports rather than general discussion. She requested the Commission's consideration of this
24 issue.
25
26 Louiselle expressed concern that the Commissioners have recently been expected to commit to
27 more than 1 meeting a month and an occasional additional meeting. Jindra agreed, stating the
28 subcommittees have met a lot recently, and the Commission has undertaken some major projects
29 which have involved a larger time commitment than originally anticipated. Louiselle noted that
30 community involvement will be difficult to solicit based on these factors.
31
32 Koehntop asked whether a Commission designee to the Council meetings is necessary since a
33 Council liaison had been appointed. Jindra stated the Council liaison could bring issues affecting
34 the Commission to its meetings for discussion.
35
36 Jindra stated the Council had commended the Commission for their efforts and hard work,
37 adding they indicated the Commission is doing a good job. She requested the Commission be
38 made aware of any changes to the Council's plans for the work of the Commission. Hartman
39 stated he relays all the information he has to the Commission.
40
a I Jindra asked whether the Commission wished to review plans for Central Park in the near future.
z Wolff stated the school will need at least a year of lead time for budgeting, and construction
43 could not commence until after school was out for the summer.
44

1 Jensen stated in his opinion the smaller parks should be finished first to affect less residents.
2 Hartman stated the City will require lead time to identify funding sources for Central Park, and
3 the design and bidding process will take at least 2 years.
4
5 Hartman asked whether the Commission wished to retain BRW as consultant or interview other
6 park planners. Wolff stated she would like to interview other consultants, and she felt many
7 details were left out of the plan, and were not included when requested. She added the
8 Commission might contact other communities. Jindra stated she spoke with the Director of
9 Parks and Recreation in New Brighton who highly recommended their consultant. Hartman
10 stated the City has been approached by a few planners.
11
12 Jensen stated the project should be initiated soon to allow plenty of time for planning. Hartman
13 stated the Council would need lead time for funding. Jensen stated he would support
14 interviewing a new park planner.
15
16 Hartman asked whether the Commission would wish to conduct interviews in conjunction with
17 City staff. Wolff asked whether the interviews would have to be in connection with a particular
18 project. She suggested the Commission create a project list at its next meeting to identify
19 priorities for consideration.
20
21 VI. REPORTS.
22 A. Community Services.
23 Roadfeldt stated she had nothing to report as Community Services does not meet during the
24 summer.
25
26 B. School Board.
27 Wolff stated she had nothing to report.
28
29 C. Snorts Boosters.
30 Jensen stated he wished to contact the realtor who owns the Newmarket property to determine
31 the cost for initiating a long-term lease of the property. He added he is receiving bids to alter the
32 Newmarket space into ballfields. He requested the Commission's support. Jindra stated there is
33 no harm in asking. Hartman agreed that it shouldn't be a problem.
34
35 Jensen stated he is working with 4 companies on bids, and the cost to slightly renovate the fields
36 at Unisys would be approximately $33,000 which would not include maintenance. Hartman
37 stated that is not unreasonable for 2 ballfields. Wolff expressed concern that the property owners
38 could sell the property. Hartman stated a long-term lease would alleviate that problem.
39 Roadfeldt stated she could not support a long-term lease which would prevent the redevelopment
40 of the property.
41
42 Motion by Koehntop, second by Louiselle to have Jan Jensen contact the Newmarket property
43 owners to inquire after the property's availability with regard to negotiation of a long-term lease.

OTHER BUSINESS.
Wolff stated she has noted a lack of bathrooms during baseball games in the parks which as been
a big problem. She added the bathrooms are locked, and the City should consider portable
satellites at these locations. Hartman stated that vandals have done extensive damage. He added
the Commission would need to make a recommendation to the Council.
Hartman asked where the satellites should be installed. Wolff stated the City should install 1 in
Emerald Park and 2 in Central Park, at the north and south ends.
Hartman stated there have been complaints from residents along Skycroft with regard to parking
on the blacktop walking path. He added the Commission might consider a temporary fence or
landscaping for that area.
Andra stated the time and efforts of the Commission were greatly appreciated, and the City and
community will appreciate the great commitment and results. She added that she, as chair,
appreciates what the Commission has done as new projects are discussed.
Jindra noted the Water Tower Park construction will be tentatively completed by July 19, and the
park opening should take place between then and August 6 when VillageFest commences. It was
agreed the opening would be tentatively scheduled for Thursday July 29, 1999. Jindra noted the
Commission could discuss the opening at its next meeting.
