additional goals (see attached email) with the remaining funding. Three 6'x12' U-8 Youth Soccer Goals would cost $3,300. The City of Hugo would be reimbursed for half of the cost and would be required to contribute $1,650. Staff recommends discussion on spending $1,650 to purchase goals and nets to be used at the Hanifl Fields Athletic Park. Also, staff recommends requesting reimbursement from White Bear Lake Community Services and Recreation in the amount of $2,000. V. Discussion on a Park Rules Ordinance (Derek Larsen) At the September 9, 2009 meeting, the Parks Commission continued discussion on a park rules ordinance. Staff presented a recommendation for rules signs to be posted in active neighborhood parks. Signs have been ordered to be placed in the parks as described. Derek Larsen will continue discussion on a park rules ordinance. VI. Update on Hansen Pronert Roger Clarke and staff walked the Hansen property with Jyneen Thatcher of the Washington Conservation District to do an inventory of wetlands, plants, trees and assess the property for future development. Thatcher provided a memorandum about the property. She identified no major barriers to development and made recommendations for weed control and planning of the development. Trails were mowed around the perimeter of the property with a trail connection at the middle of the loop. The trails total a little over 2 miles with the perimeter loop being approximately 1.75 miles long. Staff will show images and a map of the trails. Clarke, Thatcher and staff met with Steve Hanke to follow up on building an additional single- track mountain biking trail along the north and west sides of the property. Additional follow-up with representatives with the Minnesota Off Road Cyclists is planned as their schedule allows. VII. Update on Hanifl Fields Athletic Park Scott Anderson, Public Works Director, will give an update on construction of the shelter at the Hanifl Fields Athletic Park. The White Bear Soccer Club is hosting the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association East District Girls Championships at the Hanifl Fields Athletic Park from July 15 to 18. Staff applied for grant funding for items at the Hanifl Fields Athletic Park through their annual Recycling Grant application to Washington County. Funding was approved for an outdoor message center in the amount of $1,250. The outdoor message center could be used to post field layouts and directions, special notices and information on recycling. Additionally, funding was received to purchase signage about the environmentally friendly features at the shelter (similar to those for the rain gardens at City Hall). Staff recommends approval of the purchase of the outdoor message center and signage to be included in the construction of the Hanifl Fields Athletic Park shelter. -3- Parks Commission July 14, 2010
