MINUTES OF THE PARK AND RECREATION ADVISORY COMMISSION MEETING December 9, 1999 Page 56 Present: Chair Anderson, Commissioners Musliner, Wahl, Willegalle, staff Abel, Bisek, Blank and Pederson; Planning Commissioner Stein Absent: Commissioners Fiemann, Priebe and Thompson; Councilmember Black 1. CALL TO ORDER Chair Anderson called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Musliner asked for a correction of the minutes on pg. 53 regarding the sale of Hollydale. Her question should have read "If Hollydale were to sell first, what happens with Hampton Hills and Elm Creek? " The word "first" was omitted in the draft minutes. Commmissioner Willegalle moved and Commmissioner Wahl seconded a motion to approve the minutes with that correction. Motion carried with all ayes. 3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS a. Athletic Associations. None were present. b. Staff. Mary brought pictures from Old Fashioned Christmas for viewing. She also brought a flyer that was sent to the elementary schools regarding what's going on during winter break. Fire & Ice is February 5. There will be a few changes this year. There will be dog sled rides, not just demonstrations. There will be food vendors set up on the beach area, instead of our department running the concessions. All sales will be cash, rather then selling tickets. The vendors are ones we've used before at the Art Fair and the Parade. Mary asked PRAC to work at one of the bonfires. Walking is now taking place at the fieldhouse. Mary explained the hours that are available for walking, which are Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 11-1 p.m., Monday through Friday, 6-9 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, usually from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. The cost to walk is fifty cents for seniors 55 and older and $1 for all others per visit. Punch cards for 12 walks can also be purchased by seniors for $5, or $10 for everyone else. There's been good usage, she said. Final selections were made this week on furnishings and wall coverings for the activity center. June 3rd is the date for the ribbon cutting. Mary said we are working on putting together a brochure and folder on the rental of the building. Other agencies use slogans or a tag line when they advertise their facilities. A suggestion of "bringing people together" has been made for our facility's tag line. Mary said if anyone has other ideas to please let her know. Mary distributed the 2000 Calendar of Events and explained that this is used by our maintenance people and the police as well as staff, so that everyone can stay on top of what's going on. We are working on the February brochure and on ideas for programs at the new center. Commissioner Wahl commented about the walking at the dome. He said his wife was PRAC Minutes/December 1999 Page 57 there watching their child play soccer and then she decided to walk around the track, as she noticed others were doing this. She was not very pleased when she was asked to pay a fee. Director Blank said it was a tough call trying to decide who to charge, and he appreciated the feedback. Bill Abel, manager of the Ice Center, made a presentation on how the Ice Center has been doing. This fall the Wayzata boys and girls high school teams play their games there. Bill reported that revenues are exceeding expenses. He then shared some "fun" facts about the Ice Center: The Zamboni drives approximately two hours daily resurfacing the ice, which totals 40,000 miles a year. The Olympic ice sheet was used 3,366 hours in 1999. That's nine hours per day average. There's almost eight hours per day of use on the practice rink. Total use of the Ice Center equalled 6,255 hours in 1999. Considering that there are only 8,760 hours in a year, that makes the Plymouth Ice Center an extremely busy facility. There have been 9,000 attendees at open skating so far this year, with 4,500 of them being paid admissions, while the other 4,500 are LifeTime members who get in free. The Ice Center rented 3,900 pairs of skates in 1999. Meeting rooms have been used 2,500 hours. The concession stand has generated $50,000. The figure skating program served 680 kids and received revenue of $119,000. Bill said that a commercial has been put together on the Ice Center, which will run 320 times on Cable Channel 12. Bill explained that the Ice Center will be hosting the Armstrong Girls Hockey Tournament from the 27th -29th of December. These games will be broadcast live on Cable 12 along with live interviews right after the tournament with some of the players. He explained that we are hosting this tournament to help get girls hockey tournaments off the ground, because this is fairly new. Bill said the Ice Center opens at 5:30 a.m. three days a week, and on Friday and Saturday nights it closes at 1 a.m. The rest of the week it closes at 10:45 or 11 p.m., except Sundays, when it closes at 10:30 p.m. Bill said if you compare this facility with others that have two sheets of ice, we are one of the busier ones in the state of Minnesota. Commissioner Wahl remarked that he spends a lot of time in ice rinks and thinks this one always looks the cleanest. Bill said the locker rooms can get pretty abused, but we try very hard to keep ours in good shape. They've already been repainted after just two years of use. c. Others. None. 4. REPORT ON PAST COUNCIL ACTION Director Blank stated that the Council approved the contract with Suzanne's catering. They are creating special menus for us. They met with their first rental group yesterday. There are about 20 events booked so far, although we haven't collected any deposits from anyone yet. 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. Comprehensive Plan — review Chapter 8. Director Blank said the Council has been meeting monthly with the Planning Commission to review each chapter. Next week, they will meet to discuss this chapter. Adam explained that the first chapter is the community profile, which details the background. Also included in that part is the population forcasting. There's a whole series of chapters that deal with different planning elements PRAC Minutes/December 1999 Page 58 T— Z such as housing, parks, sewer and water, etc. Following that is a large section called implementation. This section discusses what's going to happen in the next 20 years and how it's going to get done. Chair Anderson was very impressed with the maps in the document. Director Blank mentioned the lake access proposed on Hadley Lake. Director Blank talked about the table that charts out the 50 service areas. A key area is #48, which is Ferndale North. Planning Commissioner Stein asked if anything had been identified as park for this area. Director Blank said he and the Mayor have walked the area and have found a possible site, but nothing has been decided at this point. The owner of the property is open to discuss it. Chart 8-30 discusses future facilities, like a bark park, an indoor park for kids, an art park, the environmental park, community gardens like the ones at the workhouse, a living farm with the addition of an equestrian center, among others. Policies of the City related to golf courses are outlined on page 8-39. The City would try to hold onto Hollydale if development takes over the other two public 18—hole courses. Commmissioner Wahl said at least one of the golf courses shown in the chart is identified incorrectly — it's Pheasant Run, not Pheasant Acres. Director Blank said we now have six grade crossings in place in Plymouth, which is a lot. We need to continue to look at this, however. Director Blank displayed a large map of the Northwest Greenway Concept. This is a very significant part of the 20 year updated plan. Contracts have been awarded for the trail crossing at 494 and County Road 9. Director Blank talked about locations where we have on—road bike lanes. Table 8-13 identifies places where 2—sided trails may be considered. The open space map was narrowed down to nine sites at the request of commissioners from an earlier meeting. This was restructured to give better definition to open space. The city owned sites acquired in 1995 are identified on the open space map differently than the other open spaces on the same map. Director Blank said these are singled out because they were purchased with voter approved bond money. Adam discussed the significant natural resource sites. These are identified as ones that have high ecological value. There was some discussion of the wording on pg. 8-65 regarding the 30 sites identified in 1994. It was suggested that a more thorough explanation be provided on the ranking of these sites on this page. Director Blank talked about the sites marked higher priority open space, because some of them are open to development now. Pg. 8-71 gets into the management of the open space. Director Blank said staff has developed a prototype of a mini—park and a neighborhood park for the public to look at when they come in and have questions. There will be a series of public meetings on the entire comprehensive plan in the coming weeks. The Mayor asked about the future of Harty's Boat Rental, since they are a nonconforming use. They provide a service to Plymouth residents and she would like for them to remain at their present location. Director Blank said they are grandfathered in and will be allowed to remain where they are, but they cannot expand. Commissioner Willegalle complimented Adam on the work SRF has done on the comprehensive plan. b. Plymouth Creek Center update. Director Blank handed out information on the first month's rentals of the fieldhouse. We took in $22,000 in revenue in the month of PRAC Minutes/December 1999 Page 59 ' Z a November. People are very impressed with the facility. Construction is moving right along. Almost all of the windows and doors are now in. Final slabs were poured on the main floor, and workers are starting to put up drywall. The Contractor feels that the building will be substantially completed by March 15. The front entryway is not being poured this winter, however. It will be completed next spring. Computers, a fax machine, and a copy machine have been ordered. c. 2000-04 CIP. Director Blank explained that in the year 2000 two items were added, an electronic community bulletin board at the Ice Center and a playground at Elm Creek Playfield. Staff is recommending adoption of this plan. Commmissioner Wahl asked about the millennium garden. Director Blank explained where it would be and said that water and electricity have already been installed there for future use. The plan suggests using $100,000 in park dedication, $100,000 in community improvement funds and $100,000 in fundraising for this project. Director Blank is going to make a presentation to the Carlson Foundation in March about the Millennium Garden project. He is hoping that they will consider making a contribution to the project. CHAIR ANDERSON MOVED TO ACCEPT THE 2000-2004 CIP AS PRESENTED. COMMISSIONER MUSLINER SECONDED. MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES. Director Blank displayed designs for the Greenwood Playfield. It will consist of two 75' softball fields and four mid—size soccer fields. This facility is designed to be for 5-10 year olds rather than the older kids. He explained that we are trimming the budget right now, because the design as is will cost about $500,000 and we don't have that much. Director Blank will be asking the school district for some money and also asking the baseball association for money. The project may have to be done in phases, due to budget constraints. Director Blank is confident that the Plymouth—Wayzata Youth Basebafl Association will be excited about this concept. 6. NEW BUSINESS There was no new business to report. 7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION None. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATION Director Blank wants to change the January meeting to the 11th, because he will be out of town on the 13th. G 0 16101110 The meeting adjourned at 8:50 pm. y- Zb YOUTH ADVISORY COUNCIL MINUTES OF MEETING JANUARY 31, 2000 The meeting was called to order by Chair Paul Lenhardt at 7:10 PM. Also present were Amy Anderson, Nnennia Ejebe, Sam Kelner, Laura Marofsky, Councilmember Judy Johnson, Manager Dwight Johnson, and Deputy City Clerk Kurt Hoffman. Absent was Trent Eisenberg. The minutes of the January 24, 2000 meeting were approved without objection. Jameson Johnson reported that the Youth Forum 2000 subcommittee has been unable to meet, but will be providing business addresses and letters to possible supporters by the February 14 meeting. Nnennia Ejebe reported that the subcommittees on the youth town forum and the development of a youth community recognition award held their organizational meetings. She said the subcommittee on the town forum has discussed possible topics, including issues of cultural diversity in the community. She said the group felt discussions on alcohol, tobacco and other drug use should not be considered, because they are done frequently in other forums. She said the group is now looking for facilitators, and is working on outreach to middle school students to encourage attendance. Nnennia reported that the subcommittee on the youth community recognition award felt it is important to have two categories for awards as well as two age groups to consider. The Youth Advisory Council recommended the awards consideration should be restricted to Plymouth residents. She said the group agreed to have a category covering nominations for a community service and a category awarding hours of service. She said that entries in one category might well be suitable for the other. She said the group is now working on criteria and verification processes. Councilmember Judy Johnson reported that Tonka Bay Councilmember Judd Mowry was still interested in having a group from the Plymouth Youth Advisory Council address his organization. She suggested Advisory Council members speak to the Tonka Bay Council during the forum prior to their regular meeting on February 8. She said she was unable to join them, but believes Councilmember Mowry is interested in having the Youth Advisory Council make a positive statement to Tonka Bay to help them initiate their own young peoples' panel. Nnennia said that she would be able to attend; other members planned to review their calendars. The Council completed the application materials for the National League of Cities conference in Washington DC. Councilmember Johnson reported that Councilmember Tim Bildsoe plans to attend the conference, is willing to be a chaperone, but is not able to fly until Saturday morning. They discussed flight schedules and hotel accommodations. Sam Kelner said he had contacted Youth Advisory Council January 31, 2000 Meeting Page 2 Northwest Airlines, but had not yet received information on possible to help defray costs. Councilmember Judy Johnson said she is talking with members of the League of Women Voters about possible financial support for the trip. The Council discussed requests for a teen dance site in Plymouth. They agreed to invite Mary Bisek from the Park and Recreation Department, and representatives from the Communities in Collaboration Council to the February 14 meeting for further discussions. Members discussed the importance of attending the regular meetings and agreed to contact a board member who has missed several meetings. The meeting was adjourned at 8:20 PM.

Please take this letter as a definite negative response to your letter dated January 31, 2000 and as a denial of permission for you to do anything on or to my deeded property. As my wife and I have explained to you on too many occasions already, we do not have time to deal with your ridiculous and somewhat arrogant assumptions. Why would I want any activity that would endanger my only natural protection from your rapidly expanding commercial zone on the eastern boundary of my property? As I have told you repeatedly on at least three or more occasions, I have a survey plan which clean shows hows no pgnd and the property was purchased because of that reason as well as the natural wooded setting that survived the developers' restorations. I specifically purchased this lot and built my house because it did not have any swamp (wetland) attached to it. I consider your proposed adulteration of my land as a financial threat to my property, my largest financial investment. I have spoken with my builder who has assured me that all of my permits, including occupancy, were in order as well as my lot survey which discloses only drainage easements on the property which are well outside of the area that you propose to adulterate. PLEASE REVIEW THE ATTACHED LOT SURVEY THAT WE ALL USED TO CONCLUDE OUR BUSINESS RELATED TO LOT 5, BLOCK 2, PLYMOUTH OAKS 2' ADDITION DATED APRIL 23, 1997. After reviewing this document, please respond in writing under what authority that you propose bringing any type of equipment on my land against my stated wishes. My wife and I find your continued calls and letters objectionable, threatening and bordering on harassment. As I have told you every time that you have called me, we are not interested in your plan! We wish to continue on as is with the property that we purchased and on which we continue to pay significant taxes. We have been citizens of Plymouth since 1991, please do not force us to hire legal counsel against the town who is supposed to be protecting our interests. As we have repeatedly told you, both my wife and I are extremely busy at work and really can not deal with this issue at this time. Move on and help another taxpayer ...please! Yours truly, x!�4- Bruce R Jones Joan E.

However, additional grading and planting are required to ensure that these areas become permanent wetland basins. As I have explained, the necessary easements are in place for this work to be done. We have made numerous attempts to discuss the project with you but unfortunately you have declined these offers. The developer would like to complete the required mitigation work soon while the ground is still frozen. While we would like to receive your input on the proposed plan, if we do not hear from you by February 10, 2000, the developer will move ahead with the required work on your property. We still ask and welcome the opportunity to meet with you to discuss this project or address any concerns that you may have before the work is initiated. Please contact me at 509-5527 to set up a meeting to review and discuss the project. Sincerely, Water Resources Engineer cc: Fred G. Moore, Director of Public Works Mike St. Martin Daniel L.

The employee groups must be direct extensions of City departments, and the purpose of raising funds is limited to assisting City departments acquire items not provided within the City budgets. T ne employee groups must apply to the PCL by March 1 to have requests considered; they must indicate what PRODUCT they wish to sell. The PCL will consider all vendor requests from City employee groups and choose one to participate as a vendor annually. If there is more than one request, the groups should expect to be rotated. The PCL Concession committee will determine if the product for sale by the employee group is appropriate and not in conflict with current PCL vendors. Vendors previously committed to the PCL shall have the privilege to continue to offer their selected concession products. If the employee group wishes to discuss creative product ideas prior to submitting their request, they may contact Concession Chair Tom Johnson at McQuay (553-5330). If you have any questions regarding this new policy, please contact me at 559-3099.

City Manager & Rebecca Stoehn February 8, 2000 3400 Plymouth Blvd Plymouth, MN 55447 Dear Rebecca and City of Plymouth, Thank you for the City's support in the amount of $6,000 given to Family Hope Services and our TreeHouse support group program. It is an investment in the lives of hurting youth that provides ongoing services to those who are seeking help during painful times. Family Hope Services is a local non-profit organization serving "at -risk" youth and families. TreeHouse, our nineteen -year-old youth and family outreach, provides a safe, caring environment where long-term relationships can develop, values can be strengthened, and a balance of needs can be addressed by staff who are irrationally positive about youth and families. The TreeHouse program is a preventive, cost-efficient outreach. We truly believe we have a model with a track record of producing long-term positive results right here in the local community. For many, change comes slowly. Sometimes it's "one step forward and two steps backward." The following words were part of a recent letter from a TreeHouse alumna. The hurt of being abandoned by her own father as a teenager brought her to TreeHouse. To her TreeHouse staff worker she writes, "I hope you think that working with kids isn't just a job. If I could ever have a dad, I would wish it was you .... You are the truest friend anyone could ever have.... without you I wouldn't know what love and caring was." We count on funds such as yours so that we can continue to offer our services to those in need without charge. Thank you for partnering with us to serve hurting youth and families. - Shic r ly, Paul J. Murphy Vice President for Development rt.

Beginning in 1999 the Northwest Suburbs Cable Communications Commission has budgeted ten thousand dollars for each member city that is cablecasting its city council meetings. The ten thousand dollars per year simply recognizes that cities cablecasting their city council meetings have equipment expense. Over the usual seven to eight year life of equipment this amounts to seventy to eighty thousand dollars. Cities are free to spend more or less on equipment and do not have to justify their expenses to the Commission. We would suggest however, that you consult with the staff of Northwest Community Television before you actually purchase equipment. The staff at Northwest Community Television has considerable equipment experience and will be able to help you select the right equipment at the lowest possible price. If you have any questions, please call me at 533-8196.

The bill creates a new cause of action against local governments and the state for exercising regula- tory acts, including planning and zoning authority. It also requires compensation to be paid to real property owners who can show their property value has been negatively impacted by 10 percent or $7,500, whichever is less. After testimony in opposition to the bill, Sen. Stevens offered an author's amendment to remove local governments from the bill's application, and to require the state to pay local government costs if we are sued for implementing state programs. Before the amendment was voted on, Committee Chair Sen. Jane Ranum (DFL -Minneapo- lis) adjourned the meeting and no votes were taken. The final status after last night's hearing: the bill still includes local governments, it still creates a cause of action against cities, and it is still up for a vote next week in the Senate Judiciary Committee. There was significant opposition to the bill. Thank you to all the city officials who contacted your legisla- tors to express your concerns about the fiscal impact of the bill and the chilling effect it would have on local decision-making. A special thanks to Plymouth Mayor Joy Tierney, St. Cloud Mayor Larry Meyer, Apple Valley Director of Planning Richard Kelley, and Renville City Administrator Chris- tine Frankenfield for their presence at the hearing and for providing testimony before the committee. The Issue has not gone away. Not only will the Senate Judiciary Committee still vote on the bill in the near future, but the House Local Government Committee will State Office Building. The bills are authored by Rep. Bruce Anderson (R -Buffalo Township) and there appears to be strong House Committee support for the bills. Please contact Remi Stone, LMC, at (651) 281-1256 or rstone@ Imnc.org for more information or for House Local Government Commit- tee and Senate Judiciary Commit- tee membership lists. GIS informational hearing scheduled for Monday The House Local Government & Metropolitan Affairs Committee will hold an informational hearing on geographic information systems (GIS) on Monday, Feb. 7 at 12:30 p.m. in Room 200 of the State Office Building. Ben Verbick, GIS coordinator with Local Government Information Systems (LOGIS), will give an overview and demonstra- tion of GIS: Minnetonka City Attor- ney Desyl Peterson will discuss the issue of potential misuse of GIS by private individuals and the resulting potential liability for government: and Victoria Reinhardt, Metro GIS, will discuss the importance of data - sharing in the GIS field and the potential chilling effect on data - sharing if government is subject to liability. This informational hearing grew out of discussions with Rep. Peg Larsen (R -Lakeland) regarding legislation the League is pursuing to create an exception to tort liability for GIS information. If you have any questions or comments on this issue, please contact Andrea Stearns at (651) 281-1258 or stearns@lmnc.org. Penalties for sale of tobacco reduced A bill that would reduce the penalty for selling tobacco to a minor from a gross misdemeanor to a misde- meanor was heard in the House Crime Prevention Committee this morning and referred to the House Floor for passage. In committee, Rep. Mary Jo McGuire (DFL -Falcon Heights) suggested the possibility of amending the bill to include an enhancement provision that would make a second offense within a certain time frame a gross misde- meanor. That suggestion was debated by members, but was not ultimately adopted. In its original form, H.F.545, introduced by Rep. Loren Solberg (DFL -Bovey)/ S.F.688, introduced by Sen. Bob Lessard (DFL -International Falls), could be perceived as a message that selling tobacco to minors is not viewed as a serious offense. If you have concerns with this bill, please contact your legislators.

Sen. John Hottinger, DFL -Mankato has introduced a bill (SF 2610) that amends the Tax Increment Financing (TIF) reporting procedures. The bill consolidates the two re- quired reports into one report and eliminates duplicate information requests. The bill also modifies the information required to be publishec the annual disclosure statement. The bill has been referred to the Local and Metropolitan Government Com- mittee. The House file will be intro- duced on Thursday, Feb. 10, and will be authored by Rep. Ron Abrams, R - Minnetonka. If enacted the bill would be effective for reports due in 2001. The bill has been reviewed by the Office of State Auditor (OSA). Within the next two weeks the OSA will send its annual TIF report to the legislature. The report will highlight the OSA's TIF activities and identify issues that could be resolved by legislative action. It is probable that the report will be presented at a hearing and could lead to TIF amendments. Among the issues that could be discussed in the report are the line item budget amounts, commingling of funds, the housing project area and several timing items. A summary of the report will be in- cluded in a future fax. Rep. Dan McElroy, R -Burnsville, is the author of a bill (HF 3057) that makes several amendments to the 1999 Business Subsidy Law. Among them are: raising the subsidy minimum amount from $25,000 to $100,000, clarifying definitions, recognizing that all subsidies do not create jobs and modifying the reporting require- ts for pollution control d similar subsidies. Sen. Hottinger will introduce the companion to HF 3057 as well as his own bill. The Hottinger bill as introduced will require the adoption of business subsidy criteria that will require the adoption of a specific wage floor (two options are contained in the bill), the completion of an impact study if a business relocates and receives a subsidy, and a prohibition on case by case criteria. The McElroy bill could be heard next week in the Jobs and Economic Development Committee and referred to the Local Government and Metropolitan Affairs Committee. The Senate bill will also need to be heard in two commit- tees but the schedule has not been set. To assist AMM and the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) in this issue your help is needed. If you have adopted criteria relating to business subsidy, please fax a copy to the AMM at (651-281-1299).
