Paulson, CMC/MMCA Plymouth City Clerk Publish: August 5 News Release Plymouth Fire For Immediate Release July 26, 2004 Department Plymouth Firefighters Take Smokebusters Door -to -Door Sara Lynn Cwayna 763-509-5198 pL�� °IIT8 FIRE -RESCUE In July, Plymouth firefighters have been working to bring the Smokebuster Program to Plymouth's Sun Valley Mobile Home Community. The department's goal is to talk to residents of all 65 homes about fire safety, make sure that each home's smoke detectors are working, and to see that all detectors have fresh batteries. "Homeowners have been very welcoming to us. We've found that while most of the homes had smoke detectors, many of these detectors had not yet been mounted on the wall and their batteries were expired," said Fire Captain Dave Dreelan. "We feel really good about our visits because we've been able to leave families safer than when we arrived," said Dreelan. The federal government regulates the construction of manufactured housing. Since 1976, manufactured homes have been required to comply with U.S. Department of Housing and Urban I `\ Development (HUD) manufactured housing construction and safety standards, which cover a wide range of safety requirements, including fire safety. Post -1976 manufactured homes bear a label certifying compliance. The HUD standard has been enhanced over the years. Owners of manufactured homes built after 1976 have a much lower risk of death and a significantly reduced risk of injury if fire occurs compared to pre -standard manufactured homes. But despite the federal requirements for factory - installed smoke alarms in these homes, 38 percent of 1999 fires in post -HUD standard manufactured homes were reported as having no smoke alarms present. The leading cause of fire in mobile homes is electrical equipment. Heating systems, intentionally set fires, and cooking equipment are the next leading causes. For more information on Plymouth Fire Department's Smokebuster Program, please call the Fire Department at 763-509-5198. City U1 Plymouth News Release July 26, 2004 `® CITY OF PUMOUTR Contact: Sara Cwayna, 763.509.5198 Plymouth Resident Helps Makes the Day for Area Children More than 50 stuffed animals will be put into the hands of Plymouth children in need thanks to anonymous donation from a Plymouth resident. Interfaith Outreach, a human service agency serving Plymouth, will distribute the stuffed animals. The anonymous donor originally dropped off the stuffed animals at Plymouth Fire Station III with the intent of having them donated via the Plymouth Crime and Fire Prevention Fund. But, the Plymouth Police and Fire Departments already had a stockpile of stuffed animals to give to children they encounter on their calls. Looking for a way to get the stuffed animals in the hands of kids that need them as soon as possible, Police Officer Nate Hultgren brought the donation to Interfaith Outreach where Executive Director LaDonna Hoy gladly accepted the donation. "She told Officer Hultgren how much these animals will mean to the children that they serve," said Public Safety Education Specialist Sara Cwayna. Hoy said that more than 60 percent of Interfaith Outreach's clients are Plymouth residents. "Stuffed animals play a huge role in helping police officers, firefighters and advocates comfort children in crisis. The animals are used when kids have been lost, hurt or had a frightening experience like a car accident or a home fire. Having something to hold makes all the difference in the world of a child," said Police Chief Mike Goldstein.

The group included fam- dies from the nearby neighborhoods, as well as o$icials from the City of Plymouth. "People are very excited," says Eric Blank, the city's director of parks and recreation. This is the first chance for neighbors to get a glimpse of this new addition, though. People have been playing in the park for a while. The developing park has been some- thing of a hotspot for picnics on warm days, walks around the water and playtime on the Camelot -inspired playground. But on May 17, the park's opening became official. Attendees ate, drank and planted trees in honor of Arbor Day to celebrate. Lake Camelot Park is a neighborhood oasis where the serenity of the water, combined with the local flora and fauna, make for a lit- tle bit of natural wonder in the suburbs. The park, which Blank says cost about $400,000 to create, is a neighborhood park located south of County Road 47 and west of 1-494 and boasts 19 acres. "A lot of it is lake," Blank says. That ma., be true, but there are plenty of amenities. Within this park, visitors have access to a pair of picnic shelters, a 3 -foot deep lake, a one -mile walking path along the shoreline and an 880 -foot boardwalk on the south side of the lake. Visitors will also find swings, slides, trails, canoe racks, benches and a couple of scenic overlooks. Up until a couple of years ago, this spot was known as Mud Lake, Blank says. The lake's neighbors — the people who live in Camelot Estates — petitioned to change its name to something with a bit more magic, play and s•:himsy. The new name was not the start o: the changes that transformed this land i::to Plymouth's newest neighbor- hood park. Blank saes the City of Plymouth has been slowly acquiring land over the last 15 years. Ir:stead of going in to buy the nec- essary properties, the city waited for people X10 AUG 2004 plymouth magazine Plymouth city officials, Including Mayor Judy Johnson (middle) and City Council member Sandy Hewitt (left), joined with neighbors to celebrate the official opening of take Camelot Park, Plymouth's newest neighborhood park. to sell their homes and move away. "We always want a willing seller," he says. Since the park is a neighborhood park and not an athletic or city park, there isn't a big schedule of events. But Blank say: s Plymouth's Puppet Wagon, which makes multiple stops all over town, visits Lake Camelot Park once each week. 12 Plymouth's new Senior Police Corps takes aim on many area projects I By Sarah Tieck For mari years, volunteers have worked within the City of Plymouth. But there's a dif- ferent kind of volunteer program brewing at the Plymouth Police Department: the Plymouth Senior Police Corps. The corps is for volunteers who are at least 50 years old — many of its current mem- bers are retirees and senior citizens. It makes use of a lifetime of skills and experience. "No one's ever tapped that resource," says Lt. Craig Lindman, special operations com- mander and the corps' coordinator. Now, through the corps, four Plymouth residents — Roman I senior corps member Rowan, William Williamson, Kersten Beckstrom and Robert I Willie Williamson lends his past Prestifilippo — are sharing their time and professional credentials professional experi- (retired realtor, controller, corporate vice president and profes- ence as a controller sional Grant writer) with the Plymouth police. "These people to the Plymouth Police Department come with a huge amount of expertise in their fields," Lindman says. "These people are very highly professional people." Rowan, Williamson, Beckstrom and Prestifilippo were among applicants who answered a November 2003 ad placed by the City of Plymouth. They interviewed and went through background checks. Then they completed a 32 -hour crime prevention course, as well as the 13 -week Plymouth Police Citizens' Academy. All volunteers for the Senior Police Corps work a minimum of 10 hours each month, but there are no uniforms, badges or guns. This job is not one of law enforcement, Lindman says. Still though, the police mystique is a definite hook, says Nancy Anderson, the city's volunteer coordinator. For many of these people, giving back to the community is also important. With all of this in mind, volunteers focus on crime prevention and emergency management, Anderson says. The program's structure remains flexible to make use of the unique skills of each volunteer, and its focus is on work that is hands-on and takes volunteers into the heart o, the community. Lindman says the program is still getting off the ground since its launch in early 2004, but the corps' mernbers have already been busy. So far, they've helped the police update databases, provide:: technical expertise on grant proposals and developed emergency preparedness plans for all Plymouth schools. The corps' members are also working to build up the neigh',orhood watch program, teach proper car -seat fit and installation, and coordinate a free gun -lock program that was unveiled in June at the Plymouth Police and Fire Department's Family Safety Night.

Plymouth center, alre busy, poised to get buy By Ben Steverman Star Tribune Staff j'Writer A new floor of open space in the Plymouth Creek Center won't be'empty for long. Programs, classes and com- munity groups are eager to get time in the new meeting rooms, made possible by an $850,000 renovation of the community center's lower level. The building's walk -out basement, which faces Plym- outh's Millennium Garden, was intentionally left unfin- ished, complete with sand floors, when the center was built in 2000. "Our game plan was to see what programs took off and see what our needs were," said Eric Blank, Plymouth's director of parks and recreation. The Plymouth Creek Cen- ter was built to consolidate the city's senior programs and other recreational programs that had been spread out in schools and other buildings across the town. The result has been that double or triple the number of senior citizens have shown up for activities such as card games, whittling, dancing, aerobics, biking and walking, Blank said. A total of 3,000 se- niors participate in activities at the center, mostly during the daytime. Other programs, classes and community organizations also use the center, often in the evening, Blank said. There hasn't been enough room for everyone. The renovation of the lower level adds about 7,000 square feet. It includes: > Meeting rooms, includ- ing one large enough for se- nior card games where 120 to 150 people sometimes at- tend. The room is also suited to dance classes, and there is space for smaller club meet- ings, homeowner associations and other groups. Jennifer Simonson/Star Tribune Dorothy Hall talked with Joe, Mueller about a watercolor he was painting at the Plymouth Creek Center. The center turns one of Its meeting rooms into an open art studio on Friday mornings. Now that the center's unfinished lower level has been renovated, the center will have more space for meetings, card games, music instruction and theater performances. Source: ESRI. GDT _ Star Tribune > Music practice rooms, where the parks and recre- ation department can offer one-on-one instruction in piano, vocal music, guitar, harp, woodwinds, violin and other instruments. "It has just exponentially increased our ability to offer classes to our community," said recreation supervisor Karol Klint Gre- upner. Previously, the music program relied on limited space in school buildings. > The Black Box Theater, a large classroom with high- tech audio and video equip- c�.,i ment. The room will be used by the Plymouth Commu- nity Theater for a musical in September. "This is just a big treat," said Cindy Bunning, the theater group's production manager. The room seats 100 to 150, which Bunning said is "a perfect size for us. It's great for smaller performances." The city's teen program might use the theater for open microphone nights or garage band performances, Klint Gre- upner said. Senior groups are expected to bring guest speak- ers to the theater as well. One advantage of the cen- ter's lower level is that "it's not a dark basement," Blank said. Because the center was built on a hill, the lower level has views of the Millennium Garden, part of Plymouth Creek Park. A botanical watercolor class and other art classes are expected to use the garden as inspiration, Klint Greupner said. Ben Steverman is at bstevermanlPstartribune.com. Plymouth Creek Center 34th Av.

Specifically, a water lift station is being installed on the east side of Weston Lane North, adjacent to the existing manhole in the nearby right-of-way. Rip rap will also be placed on the west side of the street at the culvert. This lift station is designed to lower water levels from the area between Weston Lane North and Vicksburg Lane North. Water enters an existing inlet at the backyard, flows to the lift station, and is sent to the existing manhole. The work will be done by the Valley - Rich Company of Chaska, Minnesota. In the meantime, if further technical information is needed in regards to this installation, please feel free to call me anytime at 763-509-5524. Dave Taylor Sr. EnQineeri Technician cc: Daniel L.

Sign A would be located at Plymouth Boulevard and Highway 55; Sign B at Vicksburg Lane and Highway 55. The preliminary cost estimate for the signs at Vicksburg and Highway 55 is $31,500 for each sign. The preliminary estimate for the sign at Plymouth Boulevard and Highway 55 is $39,500, for a total cost for all three signs of $102,500. The CIP has earmarked $86,000 for these signs, which includes $22,500 from donations and $63,500 from the Project Administration Fund. North American Properties has agreed to pay $25,000 for the sign on the west side of Vicksburg Lane. We hope to obtain up to 50 percent of the cost of the sign on the east side from benefiting property owners. Assuming we get nothing from property owners on the east side, we could have a potential gap of $14,000. Assuming we obtain 50 percent of the sign cost, we could have no gap. Reducing the size of the signs as discussed below could also benefit the bottom line. Ron Quanbeck and I have been analyzing specific site considerations on the west side of Vicksburg. We did not complete our analysis before Ron went on vacation, but our preliminary conclusions are as follows: The sign as designed should be modified to reduce the overall length by five feet -2'/z feet on each end. The reduced size will better fit the topography of the site, and the reduction in cost for the smaller sign can be applied to the increased cost on the west end of the sign. On the west end, the land slopes down to the pond. Consequently, this end of the sign will require either a retaining wall or additional material to achieve the same grade as exists on the opposite end. ■ The reduced size will help on the east side of Vicksburg as well in that there are numerous underground utility lines in this area. M ■ The reduced size will not negatively affect the image that the signs will have at this intersection. When Ron returns from vacation, we will verify sign visibility, given the topography in the area and verify specific activities that can occur in the easements that the City has on both sides of Vicksburg. Once that it completed, I will begin to recontact property owners on the east side of Vicksburg regarding financial participation. Two key players have changed here (Cub and Carlson), which could make obtaining participation more difficult. Once Ron and I answer the remaining questions, we can move forward with implementation. Should we encounter problems with building the sign in the easements without additional approvals from the property owners, Jay Scott at North American Properties has indicated he would work with Ruby Tuesday's to obtain those approvals. I wouldn't anticipate any problems with the Mann organization. 2 C9 n z m r m D O z U) G) z W FRONT ELEVATIONS SCAie r = TV X O z m r m D --1 O z cn G) z D PLYMOUTH CITY ARCHITECTURAL CENTER SIGNAGE CONSORTIUM L.L.0 Pipe K MN 901 N,,th ]Id SU,,t.

As chairman of the MLC, which consists of 12 suburban communities (including Apple Valley, Bloomington, Burnsville, Eagan, Eden Prairie, Edina, Maple Grove, Maplewood, Minnetonka, Plymouth, Shoreview and Woodbury), I have urged my members not to pursue any legal action in this matter and believe none are planning to do so.

We are a day program for developmentally disabled adults that recently held a family picric at the Plymouth Creek Community Center. Rick Busch, and his staff, did an amazing job of accommodating our needs. Their hospitality and service assured the success of our event. As an example, the caterer had a "glitch" and their serving staff failed to arrive. Without a hitch, Rick and the staff smoothly assumed the responsibility for food and drink service allowing our program to continue. In a larger context, we have had the pleasure of working with Rick and Bill Abel at the Ice Arena for the past 18 months. As I am sure you are aware, we provide assistance in the maintenance of their respective facilities. It is a great relationship and we appreciate the opportunity for our clients.

Over the last 10 months, key members of my staff have been working on a comprehensive all -hazard emergency response plan for the schools located in our community. While I am pleased with their efforts, the only way to measure the plan's effectiveness is to conduct a test. Approximately five months ago, we began conversations to conduct a full-scale exercise within your district at Wayzata High School this fall. Since then, several provisions have taken place to plan for this event. While this decision is clearly your prerogative, it is unfortunate that yesterday's announcement, to stop the exercise, was not communicated earlier in our planning process. It is my understanding that the school district might consider other means to test the plan e.g. staff training, table -top exercises, etc. in the future. The police department is willing to assist with those endeavors; however, we will not initiate any further activity without the school district assuming the lead role. Professionally speaking, the school district will continue to receive the same comprehensive and diligent service that it has come to expect from our department. However, on a personal note, I am disappointed with your decision to stop the exercise so PLYMOUTH A Beautiful Place to Live 3400 PLYMOUTH BOULEVARD • PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55447-1482 • TELEPHONE (763) 509-5000 �- www.d.plymouth.mmus late in the planning process, and am dismayed by the manner in which one of my command staff members, Lieutenant Dan Plekkenpol, was treated yesterday afternoon.
