Family Fare. Senior Citizens, TPA Summary of Summer Program Evaluations 1978 Summer Adult and Youth Instructional Classes Statistics ( 2,.050 registrations annd 16,599 attendance grand total*) indicate an excellent response to. these sum;ier instructional classes. The programs were self-supporting in as much as. the registration fee revenues equaled or surpassed the direct expenses (i.e. --Instructor's salaries, building rental, materials and supplies) for the classes. Recommendations for 1979 are administrative and mn-policy in nature. 1978: Slow Pitch Softball The adult softball program continues to be a popular summer program for the residents of our Commurkity as witnessed by the increasing number of teams ('47) and individuals (778) who participate. This; record participation; was acc"plish ed with a shortage of fields. It should be note! that most changes recommended are administrative'and non -policy in nature:. All rule changes still be reviewed with the managers before implementa tion io 1979. a . i'iI C. Krieg1e r RecreaMon. Supervisor l City of .Plymouth DeptrL'ment of Parks and Recreation 1978 Summer Swim Program Evaluation individuals (:see chart #I) participatedin the Summer Swim Program. The. basic program is divided into four 10 day periods with each class being 45 minutes in length. The program was under the direct supervision of Ms. Maris-a Hasty and adhere to the American Red Cross Nater Safety Standards and Guidelincs., Classes are conducted at the. Ridgemount.Junior High School. Recommendations - 1979 Season Staff Testinand Orientation Orientation 1 a supervisor should be sent information prepare for the orientation session. regarding new staff in order to better Staff 3-51TRing one position between 2 instructorsis advisable again in 1979 because of the Open Swim guard program. It would be to the benefit of the, Swig Program to have more than one male staff member for locker room supervision and. instruction with the. Water Adaptability Class Locker Room Attendant This was, a new position in 1.978 and should be continued in 1979, it would be advisable to hire an attendant that has an aquatic background so that he/she may be utilized as an aide when neccessary.. The volunteer aides shculd be considered for this position if they are of employable age.. Volunteers - Swimmers Aides Our added Swimmers Aide training class should be offered third session. Aides. from 1978 should be contacted regarding volunteering in 1979 and if interested be invited; to the orientat%on meeting. Program Schedule Retain same basic schedule (see chart 02).. Schedule more upper level afternoon classes and schedule adult classes immediately following youth classes. This would eliminate lock up conflicts with AAU. A meeting must,be set up with. Dick Hanley and an AAU representative early in program planning tc discuss the AAU schedule:. Continue the letter to parents as it can be a very useful tool in parental, understand- ing of our pass/fail philosophy. If the date is removed the letter may be used year after gear. In regard to supplies, only the basics are necessary. All first aid supplies must be replenished. See Red Cross for all. worksheets, forms and cards. Participant As ty-picaaloft a swimming participant response, negative comments are hard to find. Reaction to both staff and schedule was positive. Swimming registration will beheld on a separate night in 1979.

Staff Mstaff orientation should be brief and policy and procedure oriented in nature. Followin orientation should be a staff clinic concentrating on teaching methods and drib suggestions. B. A staff manual is a ;rust for the T -Ball Staff. The manual should include teaching methods, drill's, rules, field dimensions, goals, discipline, sportsmanship guidelines, motivation suggestions and; techniques, for understanding of the no - win, no loss philosophy. The manual should also include suggestions on how o introduce self and.goals. to parents on the first day. Rain Out Policy Al 1, parts panes should report to their location unless it is raining.

Program Schedule A. The schedule for 1979 can remain. the same as in 1978 with the addition of 2 Softball Classes one at Greenwood and. an additional class at Pilgrim Lane. Consideration should be given to scheduling more games. Evaluations indicated this to be a preference by parents and: youth. V. 11 ies r det^: One dozen rubber coated baseballs One T -Ball stand Various hose lengths for T -Ball stands. Seven Eight bats, light weight VI. Discipline Discipline can be a problem with T -Ball classes, therefore a policy for dis.cip'li.nary action is necessary. On first occurre:,ce the instructor should handle the situation using his/her best judgement. If the situation is repeated the child should be sent home and the parents notified, A third time will precipitate: a call from the. Recreation Supervisor. Hopefully all problems can be handled; by the instructor. VII. Participant Evaluation Based on the participant evaluations aporoxima-ely 95% of those: returned approved and preferred, the new non-competitive philosophy. A significant number of participants requested an increase in the number of games scheduled.. Many parents also felt the T -Ball stands could have been better suited to the age level. This: will have. to be accomplished by "in house"adjustments of the stands. Gail C.. Kreiger tj Recreation Supervisor L 4 City of Plymouth Department of Parks and Recreation 1978 Scj r Gymnastics Program Evaluation A total of 116 individuals participated. in 12 classes of the Summer Gymr%astics Program. See. chart #1) The classes met twice a week fcr 4 weeks. !':) sessions were offered.. Recommendations ti :979 Season 1. Schedule t piner School (#284) Gymnastics. Program continues to draw on the Departmen't's participants. There is no fee for the Summer School and transpurtaion is provided'. Because of the above it is difficult to compete.as the Department's program m.Ist be self supporting. Only 50% of the offered classes reached the minimum requirements It is with the above considerations that the g),mnastics offering be drastically cut in 1979,. (See chart #2) The recommendation that a reduced schedule be offered as opposed to eliminating the program is because there are citizens that prefer the smaller classes. Our ratio is 7-1 versus the -.summer Schoolratio of 30-1. IL. Equipment e gymnastics equipment is brought from all over the district to the Summer School site., Most often the equipment is r:ot to the site when the Departmelt's program starts because Summer School alwayss starts one week; Pater.

Location akw oTand Pilgrim Lane will be the 2 centers for Play - Pals activities., This decision is based on the location and accessibility of these elementary schools as well as the fact that this is nota neighborhood program. Children of this age level are; brought to class by parents or sitters as opposed; to walking on their own., Two locations will. eliminate tranporting of games and supplies. Also each room could really be set up as home base. B. Schedule ecommended time changes and schedule are as follows. Oakwood: 9;00-11:00 Monday - Wednesday 1:00-3:00 Tuesday - Thursday 9:00-12:00 Friday Pi lgri_m lane 9:00-11:00 Tuesday - Thursday 1:00-3;010 Monday -- Wednesday IV.

This staff person served as the liason between the Department and the tennis staff. He also established a curriculum and goals for the; program. It was difficult to given 3 staff members enough hours to keep them on staff. It is with this in mind that the staff make-up be changed in 1979 to: Tennis: Coordinator(]), Tennis Instructor jl) and Tennis Aide (1). The new position of T-nnis Aide is to be utilized where arge classes exist. It is also important to start training younger staff to assume the responsibilities of instructors. This philosophy will most certainly better serve the quality and continuity of the program. II Schedule Because of the recommended staff changes it will be necessary t,,, extensively alter the 1978 schedule. The proposed schedule is based on successful classes offered in 1978 and is merely a guide for 1979. Due to citizen concern over scheduled, evening classes at Oakwood, Wayzata Senior High school should be added.for evening classes. This will allow more open play at Oakwood on weekday evenings. III _Supplies All supplies for 1979 were ordered at the end of 1978. Additional ball carriers and Rol-Dri's were the main purchases. Tennis balls for lessons are in stock. IV. Evaluations. Approximately 1C3 of the distributed evaluations were returned.. The sampling was sent the eva,l.uation and a. self-addressed stamped envelope for return of the form. In regard to the schedule, the sampling felt the fonnat should remain basically the same with the addition of more lessons. Some respondees indicated interest in a type of discount for double registration. A tournament for students only is recommended.. All comments relating to program content and instructor capability were extremely positive. (see attached evaluation).. V. Tournament Astudent tournament shouldbe scheduled on.the last Friday of each session. All registrants interested in participating will indicate this to their instructor. All matches will be held at Armstrong Senior High. Seeding will be done in advance by the Coordinator. Ribbons for participant.- and. event. winner's will need to be ordered. This should add a constructive and natural finish to the tennis program. U., Other To encourage registraiion for both session, achievement or motivation cards should; be issued. This would N! especially important for the youth classes. A reduced fee for double registration would be entirely too difficult from a staff and bookkeeping aspect.. Ili C.

Evaluation The annual Plymouth Tennis Tournament was held June 24 and 25. Twenty-two doubles entries and thirty-two singles entries participated in the tournament. Recommendations 1979 Tournament L. Staff t s advisable to again hire a Tournament Director to plan and supervise the tournament.. All correspondence and seeding information should be, sent from this persona Knowledge of competitive tennis and good public relations skills are a must for the Tournament Director.. Runners were assigned to bring match information to the central tournament site. I1. Correspondence A Publicity Flyers and.entry forms were posted and sent to all past tournament participants. Neighboring Community Departments should also be sent all tournament information. B. Match Times The 3 78 mailing system for all seed and time information was fantastic. This. is a must in 1979 as it saved numerous phone calls and posting time. The Tournament Director had all seeds prepared for typing by the Monday of the tournament and were in the mail by Tuesday morning, I1I Facilities Oakwood Elementary and Armstrong Senior Nigh were the tournament -sites in 1978. Oakwood was used on it minimal basis. All nets should be checked prior to the tournament. specifically the center anchors at Armstrong. They are a potential liability problem if not secured properly. IV. Supplies e rop ies ordered in 1:978 were acceptable. The order for 1979 can follow the previous order exactly (based on scheduled events). A table and chair should be provided at the. central site for the Tournament Director. It wov1d help the participants and spectators if a large match chart were prepar:,d and posted at the central site. Signs reserving the courts for the tournament'shouldbe posted one week in advance. V. Schedule e proposed dates for the 1979 Plymouth Tennis Tournament are June 23-24 with June 30 -July 1 as back up dates. A parent/junior event.should be added to the schedule. The specific guidelines for this event to be established prior to publication by the Tournament Director. VI. Evaluation e attached evaluation summary is self-explanatory.

Games were played at Plymouth Junior High School, 10011 36th Avenue North and Timber Chores Park, 53rd and Zachary Lane. Staffing and Maintenance In 1978 the Park crew was responsible for the lining of fields and putting out the bases for the: games at the fields. An attendant was hired. to pickup the bases and score cards ;a the fields after the games. There: was an increase in, school activities in 1978 which created a problem with the maintenance of the fields.. These activities ran until 5:00 pm and the Park crew was unable to line the fields while school was in session. In 1979 the field attendant should be hired to line the fields, put the bases out and pick them up after the games. This would eliminate the problem with the park crew and school coordinating times. I would recommend that part of the funding of this position be taken out of the park maintenance account since, the attendant would be doing the park maintenance work. This would leave the dragging of the fields to the park crew. Manager's Meetings The manager's meetings 'in 1978 were held on. March; 20 and 21. The meeting for 1979 should be held no later than those dates in 1979. At the meeting league rules for the 1979 season should be handed out and gone over so the managers understand his/her duties and is able to explain the players duties to his team. If the manager can not attend the meeting a repre- sentative attends, the representative will be responsible for informing the manager of everything which went on in the meeting. Teams which attended the meeting will have priority over teams which were not represented. Pre -Season Practice Times Since there was a facilities shortage in 1978 and no anticipated relief in 1979, the practice times available will be few.. A list of practice times should be ready before the managers meeting.. locations used in.1978 were: Plymouth Junior High,, Timber Shores Park, St. Mary's of the Lake and LaCompte Green Park. Teams were responsible for coming into the office to receive a permit for the use of the field. Teams were not allowed to sign up for a field until the Friday before the next week. Ineligible Teams In 1979.only eligible teams should be allowed to Plymouth teams to run the league and there were won the league and received the trophies. Supplies participate. There: are enough eligible complaints from teams when ineligible teams A minimal amount of supplies should be needed in 1979. New bases, purchased in 1978..New inground anchors; could be used on field #1 A new Chalker would be purchased with excess revenues from 1978. stakes and anchors were at Plymouth Junior High.. 4 y Fees Due to minimal supplies being needed, in 1979, the fees for the leagues could remain the same as in 1978. The costs. were $150.00 for Men's Open and Men's Industrial and $140.00 for Women's Open. Officials Umpires for 1978 were provided throu,h the North Suburban Umpires Association.. They were scheduled by Bob Bork. There were some problems with payment of the officials. Dates should be set sothat the bill for umpires are paid on time in 1979 or they may not contract their services to our City. If Bob Bork is contacted before the manager's meeting,, he will send an umpire to the meetings to inform the manger's of any rule changes at.the MRPA level and the National level. Trophies The 1978 trophies were purchased through Future Publications. Trophies were given to the st place and 2nd place, league winners and 20 individuals to the; league champions. 1st and 2nd place trophies were given to the play-off winner and runner up in each classification. Play -Offs In 1978 there were play-offs in each of the divisions, BB, CC) and Industrial (A, B). In each classification team double elimination play-off. The top two teams in league night competed. There was a suggestion that an roube be played and than a four team double elimination the number of teams from eachleague night to four. INDUSTRIAL LEAGUE TRAVELING TROPHY Men's Open (BB, CC) Women's Open in each division there was a four each classification from each eight team single elimination to follow. This would increase The two Industrial League Champions play each other to play the champion from the previous season. A traveling team trohpy is awarded to the winner of this game and the, team who wins will compete in next ,years game. The winner is also responsible for engraving the current. winner on the plate.

One of the reasons for this was the hiring of a lifeguard coordinator. The coordinator ti:ept track of statistics for the beaches and also the hours worked by the lifeguards for each week. There were a totalof seven lifeguaHs which worked the East and West Medicine Lake beaches. Staff Coordinator's Duties The coordinator was responsible for keeping track of the hours worked by each of the guards and compiling the participation figures of the beaches from each week. A large schedule could be made for the supervisor to keep track of who is working each day. The coordinator should inform the supervisor of any changes in the schc-dule. Lifeguard Duties The lifeguards are responsible for knowing what is goin§ on at the beach when on duty at all times There was a problem with friends of the guards visiting with them for long periods of time while on duty. They should inform their friends that they are jepordizing their jobs by doing this. sort of thing. The guard should sit in. the guard stand while on duty with the exception of walking the beaches on the half hour to pick up and observe the beaches. Lifeguard Testing and Classes Prior to the opening of the beaches, all the lifeguards should be tested by the coordinator on their ability to perform, their duties. Also the supervisor should be there to instruct. the,guards on the policies of the city regarding the beaches and adjoining parks. Supervision Each guard should be: supervised at least once a week by the coordinator and/or the supervisor. Also police supervision of the adjoining parks would be helpful to the guard on duty. Beach Hours This season the beaches were open from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. The beaches could be closed at 7:00 pm rather than 8:00 pm in the 1979 season due to lack of attendance during that last. hour. The 1978 season ran from June 16 to August 12. In 1979 the opening and closing should be approximately the same (June; 11 to August 11) with the exception of the change in closing hours from 8:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Supplies In 1978 new fist aid kits were purchased and will need to be replenished for 1979. Also it would be-adviseable to purchase swim suits for the guards in the 1979 season so that It is easier to spot the guard. The ordering of the phones for the beaches and satellites (2 each beach) should be done in early April. Whistles and other supplies were also purchased this season and should not have to be bought in 1979. Schedules The 1978 schedule has the guards working four days on and one day off. Of these days on and, off they worked two late shifts and two early shifts. The early shift ran from 11:00 am to 3:30 pm. The later shift ran from 3:30 pm to 8:00 pm., in June and August. During July the: later shift ran from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm. In 1979 the West Beach may not need double coverage from 1:00 pm to 3:30 pm in July due to the lower attendance there comparedto the East Beach (see chart). 1978 Total Attendance 2,525 West Beach 4 247 East:.

November30, 1978 MEMO TG; Park; and Recreation Advisory Commission FROM: Jon J. Born,. Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT. Bal l fi el d Use Priorities (Soccer, Football, Softball) The Parks and Recreation Department schedules and maintains ballfield facilities. for youth athletic associations as well as, for adult leagues and local teams desiring independent practices. As the City of Plymouth has grown in residential population and number of industries, so too has the demand for bal l fie.l d facilities. At tie present, the use of balifield facilities in Plymouth is being maximized to the point of using parks, s:hools and churches. Before the 19:79 season begins, staff desires input for prioritizing -the use of the ball fields between youth groups. and adult groups. Several factors must be considered. Adult softball leagues comprise players from industries located in Plymouth as well as residents of Plymouth. The adult leagues pay a fee to pay which assists in defraying administrative staff costs and provides for, registration with the Minnesota Recreation and.Parks Association; the State's softball coordinating agency relative to tournaments. There were 47 teams in 1978. De youth athlctic associations continue. to expand due to the increase number of participants i The coed teams tiyy' "Iymouth residents are increasing in numbers due to the popularity of spoat. Traditionally the ? . .,,rtmen.t has been able to accommodate. needs and demands without restricting facility usage by and/or to any group. The Department is at a point where each group is demanding more facilities based upon their respective, gjrowth patterns and we can not.provide the facilities required.. Several solutions exist to the problem of lack of facilities: Schedule 'he use of,neighborhood parks Build new facilities Contract: for services with ot'ner communities Restrict growth of user grouPS Reduce number of fields for a givewl group and assign to a differend group In 1477 Council directed that the neighborhood parks be scheduled for use for youth groups. there feasible the Department has been scheduling the use of the neighborhood park facilities. Page 2 November 30, 1978 memo PgAC The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission has recommended that new facilities be constructed on sites to be acquired and/or developed by bond referendum funds. At the present, the City does have a "contract for services" with other communities for the use of their facilities. This comes under the heading of "contributions to others". Restricting the use of facilities based upon the 1978 season's participation rates has merit and has not been implemented. Reducing the number of facilities for a given group and assigning the facility to another group has merit only if one user group's participation is declining to a lever whereby a facility can be released. It is not equitable to. arbitrarily reduce the number of facilities available. Staff would recommendnotifying each user group and restricting the use of facilities based upon the 1978. season's participation rates. Staff seeks the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission's input and will forward this request and input to Council for direction. J. ROn Director of Parks and Recreation. JJB jn.

Born, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: Trunk highway 55 Snowmobile Corridor On November 21, 1977, the: Plymouth City Council passed Resolution 77-694 authorizing staff to pursue with. the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Northwest Trails Association the development, construction and maintenance of a snowmobile corridor along Trunk Highway 55. Plans were developed by the Northwest Trails Association in accordance with the adopted Trail System Plan and submitted to the; Parks and Recreation Director, for submission to the District office of the Minnesota Department. f Transportation. Plans as submitted to the District Office -of the Minnesota. Department of Transportation proposed a corridor on both sides of Trunk Highway 55 extending from. County Road 18 to the west city limits of the City of Plymouth. Mr. Jack Reichel, Roadway Regulation Supervisor of Minnesota Department of Transportation will not grana authorization for the entire corridor from County Road 18 tol the west city limits of the City of Plymouth but will authorize a corridor as identified on Attachment l=. His concerns relate to heavy development east of the intersection of Xenium Lane and Trunk Highway 55 as well as crossing. 494 on the Trunk Highway 55 bridge. It was suggested that an alternative route bagin at Vision of Glory Church and extend north on Xenium Lane to Plymouth Creek, thence westerly to Fernbrook Lane, thence south to Trunk Highway 55. This route roughly parallels the Trail System Plan Where Trunk Highway 55 joins. Niagara Lane, it is requested, that the corridor be authorized to follow Niagara Lane to the, temporary construction access in order to circumvent having to negotiate the temporary construction access road. t The Northwest Trail's. Association has obtained permission front Vision of Glory Church and Playhouse, Inc. to use the respective sites as access points. The Northwest Trails Association is contacting private landowners to obtain. permission to use private lands for snowmobile purposes. F Rage 2 EMD BRAC November 30, 1978 Staff recommends that: A Limited Use Agreement be entered into between Minnesota Department of Transporation and the Northwest Trails Assocation to develop and; maintain a corridor as identified Should the Commission agree with staff, the Commission shouldrecommend to Council that staff be directed to coordinate the corridor development and maintenance agreement.

Recreation is used only for park operation and maintenance and, recreation salaries and program expenses., Major park acquisition, development and equipment purchases. are financed khrough some other means, the mai.r sources of which are described below. DEVELOPERS DEPOSITS In acconbnce with'Noodbury`s Ordinance: 427, a park dedication of land or cash is required when land is subdivd-d for commercial; industrial or resi- dental Purposes, Under the current Council resolution, the required cash dedication for commercial and industrial subdivisions is 101 of the fair market value of the undeveloped land. In the: case of'residential subdivisions, the required cash dedication depends upon the density of the development. The requirement ranges from $300 per lot or 10% of the fair market value of. the undeveloped land for single-family developments up to $100 per unit or 241 of the fair market value of the undeveloped land for multiple dwellings at lb units per acre.. All cash dedications are placed in the Developers Deposit Fund which is to be used only for acquisition of hand, trail and park develop- ment and debt retirement in connection with land previwsly acquired for such public purposes. FEDERAL REVENUE SHARING The State and Local Assistance: Act of 1,972 provides federal funds to the City through the year 1980..It is City policy to use these. funds for Capital Improvement. Projects and equipment purchases whi ch have a value of $5,000 or more and a life expectancy of at least five years. R 4 ` GRANTS ' There are a variety of federal, state and county grant programs through which the City Can obtain funding for park acquisition, and development. These almost always require matching funds to be supplied by the City before grant. monies will be awarded. Some programs: are for specific projects (i.e. trail construction) while others may be broad programs that may enable the develop- ment of a whole park area. PARK IMPROVEMENT ROAD ISSUES , General: obligation bonds for park improvements can be sold. subsequent to approval' by the; voters. Oond issues are typically sold for major park improvement pro- grams, land purchases or major capital equipment purchases. The last bond issue. for park development in the City of Woodbury was approved by the voters in 1.972. Since that* time, development has occurred only by virtue of the developers deposit fund. Examples of areas for cons i&2ration of park improvement bonds might be the purchase of additional land adjacent to Carver Lak^, land adjacent. to Nilmes Lake, the establishment of a trail system connecting Wi]mes,, Powers and Colby Lakes or the construction of a Study Center. Payment of bonds is. through a general fund tax levy against all property owners of the City. i ' PARK IMPROVFMEPT DAND ISSUES C04T. •- 1. The 1978 City Budget breakdo rn is shown below.
