CITY OF PLYMOUTH 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD., PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55441 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 DATE, November 2.8, 1979 TO: PRAC FROM: Jon J. Born MEMO SUBJECT; Community Education Services Typical Organizational and Operational Structure In November, 1979, the, PRAC deferred action on a policy recommendation which stated that: when the school. districts curtail extra curricular activities their respective Community 'Education Departments cr.ntinue to offer the activ- ities through the use of the Community Educ4tion levies and user fees. The PRAC requested that Counci member Davenport attend the December 6, 1979 PRAC meeting to discuss his role as laison to the Community Education Depart- ments for the Wayzata and Robbinsdale School Districts. School districts in Minnesota are empowered by the legislature to create Community Education Services Departments for the purpose of maximizing the use of public schools by the community; using the abilities and knowledge of the community residents in providing a variety of programs for people of all ages. Services offered through Community Education Services. Departments have typically included Adult Continuing Education Adult Basic Education, Summer School, Pre-school, Community Day Care, Early Childhood and Family Education, and Recreation. Districts implementing Community Education Services may levy up to $2.50 per capita and are then eligible to receive a $,75 match per capita from the state, providing they meet the state requirements. Boards of Education shall provide for a Citizens Advisory Council to consist of members who represent service organizations; churches; private schools, local government; park, recreation or forestry service of municipal or local govern- ments located in whole or in part within the boundaries of the school district. Each Advisory Council shall adopt a pol cy to reduce and eliminate program duplications within the district. A Certificate of Compliance shall certify that the governing boards of the county, municipality and township have been sent a written notice of a meeting to discuss methods of increasing mutual. cooperation between such bodies and the school board. The failure to attend the meeting shall not affect the authority of the school district to make a levy pursuant to the adopted regulations. 4MwC The Citizens Advisory Gewittee-is required to meet at least four times a year and from,this body an executive committee is formed which meets monthly with the purpose of providing input to the Community Education Services Director and Board of Education. I serve on the Parks and Recreation sub -committee for the Robbinsdale Community Education Advisory Council and since the Wayzata School District is beginning to form its Community Education Services Department, to my knowled9e no appointments have been made to this Advisory Council. In the past, staff has served on the Advisory Council with the City Council representative responsible for attending the Certificate of Compliance meetings briefed with staff input. To my knowledge, Councilmember Neils represents the City with the Robbinsdale District whereas Councilmember Davenport will represent the City with the Wayzata District. Staff believes it appropriate to develop and communicate to School Districts a policy stating that Communities. can not be expected. to pick up and offer extra, curricular after hours programs being curtailed by the respective Boards of Education and that; it would be appropriate to look to the Community Education Services Department of the respective Districts to continue with the program utilizing user fees and Community Education Levies as alternate funding sources..

November 28, 1979 MEMO 10: PRAC FROM: Jon; J. Born, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: County Road 15 Bikeway Grants The 1980 Parks Capital Improvement Program; contemplates the development of a Bikeway System along County Road 15 extending from Vicksburg Lane to County Road 73 for an estimated cost. of $500,000. The net cost to the City of Plymouth has been calculated at $250,000. In 1977, Council accepted a feasibility report which proposed a detached Bike Path on the north side of County Road 15 extending from Vicksburg Lane to Interstate: 494. Local funds for the project were available but matching funds from Hennepin County could not be acquired and the project was not undertaken Enai'neer Project File #708).,_ Council accepted a feasibility report in 1979 which proposes 1.) a detached Bike Path on the north side of County Road 15 extending from Vicksburg Lane to Interstate 494 and 2.) an eight foot wide Bike Lane on each side of County Road 15 extending from Interstate 494 to County Road 73. Costs for this combined. project areestimated at $316,700, exclusive of any Right -of -Way acquisition. Staff was directed by Council to explore alternate funding sources and has identified two funding sources which will be able to assist in this project's developmental costs. On November 14, 1979, the City Engineer (Fred (Fred Moore), Engineering Consultants Jim Olson) and I met with representatives of Hennepin County Department of Transportation (Jim: Wold and Dennis Hanson) and a representative from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Nancy Mahle) to review the project and identify alternate sources of funding assistance. It appears that there will be adequate funding available to assist the City of Plymouth in defrayingr construction costs and in some instances the -engin- eering costs. Nancy Mahle (Minnesota Department of Transportation) can give: a funding comrattment for 1980; for a portion of the total project. She indicated t,foat additional funds would be available in 1981 to complete the project. Jim Wold (Hennepin County Transportation; Department) said that his agency will accept the City's application for funding and wil.1 do what it can to provide funding for the project. The City Engineer and I recommend splitting the project into two phases with the easterly segment (494 to Co. 73) being completed in 1980 along with the Pineview Co. 15 intersection and the westerly segment completed (494 to Vicks berg Lane) in 1981.Alternate funding sources, allocations and eligible r expenses are as. follows. 1980 MN DOT Henn.

With the completion of a successful funding package, the City of Plymouth will have an expenditure far less than is estimated in the 1980-84 Parks Capital Improvement Program. Jon J.

Born SUBJECT: Playfield Development Assistance Councilmember Davenport, City Manager Willis and I have met with a representative of the; Minnesota Army National. Guard and have forwarded correspondence to the U.S. Army Reserve Egnineering Battalion in hopes of securing grading and eLrth moving assistance for the proposed playfields. it is the desire of the City that the improvements be undertaken in the late spring and summer of 1980. Based upoi, time, equipment and manpower restrictions, it may be possible to undertake and complete one site. It appears that the Qakwcod School Site is ideal from the Guard's viewpoint relative to size of site, scope of project, capabilities of the unit, public visibility and training exposure for Ctard, personnel. The National Guard is a combat unit with limited capabilities for major earth movirg and fine, grading and the: Army Reserve in an Engineering unit with fine grading capabilities. The City is attempting to coordinate both units to achieve both rough and fine grading to the: sites.. Every effort will be made to appraise the PRAC as negotiations proceed. 4 $ eo,104 0 s Jon J.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6 1979' CITY OF PLYMOUTH J, 3400 PLYMOUTH BLVD.. PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA 55441 TELEPHONE (612) 559-2800 DATE! November 28 1979 MEMO TO: FRAC FROM: Jon J. Born, Director of Parks and. Recreation SUBJECT: Plymouth Junior Highschool Hockey Rink The proposal to improve the Plymouth Junior Highschool hockey rink does not appeartobefinanciallyorlogisticallyfeasiblein1979. On September 10, 1979. the Plymouth City Council appropriated $7,000 to be expendedtoimprovethehockeyrink, lights and install a warming house structure on thePlymouthJuniorHighschoolsite. The original plans contemplated leasing a. construction trailer to serve as a warming house.. Council expressed concerns that no construction trailer was to be rented if heated by propane. Reservations were expressed by others about the advisability of leasing a construction trailer, due to potential vandalism and the incidence of liability for property other thantheCity's.. A structure L:-a,ted by electricity of the type to be solid, highly staLle andresistant, to vandalism and low in maintenance costs can be achieved in one of twoways. One method is to fabricate a temporary unit which is removed after every season and a second method is to install a structure similar to tEose at PilgrimLane. Bidgemount and Oakwood. Costs are estimated at approximately $1,200 for thetemporaryunitandover $3,000 for the garage unit. The Robbinsdale School District approved the request to improve the rink withlightingandtoinstallawarminghouseonthesiteprovidedthatthe4tilities are metered separately from the school. The Board of Education indicated thatallplansshouldbecoordinatedwithMr. Robert Grunsted, Principal of Plymouth. Junior Highschool. Mr. Grunsted's concerns related to separate utility metering, location of the warming house in relation to activity use areas and undergroundwiringsoasnottodisruptactivityareas. He indicated that it would be accept- able with him to use the school structure for the electrical source and installaseparatemeterbetroeentheschoolandtherink. Eights and warming house. Locating the warmingL house as chose to the rink as possible is desirable withMr, Grunsted and Mr. Severud (Athletic Director). Mr. Kleinbeck (City of PlymouthBuildingOfficial') stated that a distance of 30 feet should exist between the existing yard hydrant on the school grounds and any structure placed on thegrounds. Mr. Israelson of Northern States Power stated that double metering of a site is not permissible and that a projected usage schedule will have to be prepared by theCityandsubmittedtoNSPforreviewtoascertainconstructioncosts. Ne furtherindicatedthattheconstructionseasonforplacingundergroundlinesteinatesonOctober1ofanyyearandifinstalledafterthatdateonextrafeeperfootislevied. Mr. Israelson also stated that NSP will need a detailed site plan illus- trating facility location as well as an easement from the School District corres. ponding to the proposed line location. 1: 4 I have discussed this issue with Mr. Lorin Stern of the Plymouth Athletic Associa- tion and because: of costs and logistics I believe that the. project can not be undertaken in 1979.as proposed.: If improvement of the facility is to become a reality, additional work needs to be done on the proposal to refine expenses and logistics., I recommend that the proposal to improve the. Plymouth Junior highschool hockey rink and lights be withdrawn for resubmission at a later date when the issues of costs and logistics can be more adequately addressed. As alternatives, it appears the rink and schoolcan be used at Armstrong Senior Highschool as was done in 1978-79. A second alternative woul'd.be to spend funds to reconstruct the rink at. La Compte Green Park where a warminghouse and lighting currently exists and where a rink is proposed as part of Playfield development. Representatives of the Plymouth Athletic Association have stated that these sites are not suitable for Plymouth Athletic Association purposes. On October 19, 1979, the Plymouth City Council directed that the question of expenditures for hockey facilities in 1980 be referred to the PRAC for review and recommendation.. Between the Plymouth Athletic Association and the Wayzata. Youth, Hockey Association, there are approximately 470 Plymouth players with 520 Plymouth players projected for 1980. Plymouth's population is estimated, at approximately 30,000 persons. Facility standards indicate a ratio of l hockey rink per 3,000 population for a present need of 10 hockey rinks. Currently there are eight rinks located within the City thereby resulting in a net deficiency of two rinks (See Exhibit. C). The eighth rink is at Armstrong senior Highschool and is not adequate for Plymouth Athletic Association purposes. The Wayzata group has 5`rinks and 1 indoor arena for 470 players whereas, there is only one sp,itoble rink in Plymouth for 85 Plymouth Athletic Association players and it can not be used the entire time for the Asso- ciation. Because of neighborhood pressures, the Pilgrim Lane Hockey Rink will be available for Plymouth Athletic Association use only on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturdays. Developmental. costs of approximately $27,830 for a new hockey facility are item- ized as follows,. Rink $8,000 Contingency (1:5%) $3,,300 Lighting $10,000 Engineering (10%) $2.530 Warminghouse $4,000 Operational costs of a hockey facility on a seasonal basis are. estimated at 2,000 to include electricity, heating and attendants. From 1978 until 1980, 'the City of Plymouth has contributed $2,000 annually to the Wayzata. Youth Hockey Association for Capital Improvements to rinks serving that Hockey Association. It is my opinion that there is a deficiency of two hockey facilities in the east central area of the City with avera9e development costs estimated.at approx- imately $27,830 per site with annual operational costs estimated at $2,000 per, site. Options to resolving the hockey rink deficiency include; constructing rinks as per the adopted C.I.P. with a referendum or constructing rinks utilizing Plymouth Athletic Association assistance where possible I believe it appropriate to consider the development of two rinks at the Plymouth Junior Highschool site with adequate lighting and a warming house in 1980. As a means to, maximize construc.ti'on economies, I recommend that the Plymouth Athletic. Association be encouraged to assist where possible with site development. I further recommend that the Robbinsdale School District and the Plymouth Junior Highschool Principal be presented with this proposed so at to facilitate early development. Should the District not agree with the proposal for both rinks, I recommend developing a rink and improving the lights at La Compte Green Park as is contemplated in the Playfield plans.. It is appropriate for the PRAC to respond to Councils' request to recommend hockey rink expenditures for 1980 and endorse staffs` recommendation for rink development. J J.

Born, Director of Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: County Road 15 Bikeway Grants The 1480 Parks Capital. Improvement Program contemplates the development of a Bikeway System along County Road 15 extending from Vicksbui^g Lane to County Road 73 for an estimated cost of $500,000. The net cost to the City of Plymouth has been calculated at $250,000. In 1977, Council accepted a feasibility report which proposed.a detached Bike Path on the north side of County Road 15 extending from Vicksburg Lane to Interstate 494. Local funds for the project were available but matching funds from Hennepin County could not be acquired and the: project was not undertaken Engineer Project File #708). Council accepted a feasibility report in 1979 which proposes 1.) a detached Bike Path on the north side of County Road 15 extending from Vicksburg Lane to Interstate 494 and 2..) an eight root wide Bike Lane on each side of County Road 15 extending from Interstate 494 to County Road 73. Costs for this combined, project are estimated at $316,700, exclusive of any Right -of -Wayacquisition. Staff was directed by Council to explore alternate funding sources and has identified two funding sources which will be able to assist in this project's developmental costs. On November 14, 1979, the ''ity Engineer (Fred Moore), Engineering Consultants Jim Olson) and I met with representatives of Hennepin County Department of Transportation (Jim Wold and Dennis Hanson) and a representative from the Minnesota Department. of Transportation (Nancy Mahle) to review the project andjidentifyalternatesourcesoffundingassistance. It appears that there will be adequate funding available to assist the City of Plymouth in defraying construction costs and in some instances the engin- eering costs. Nancy Mahle (Minnesota Department of Transportation) can: give a funding committment for 1980 for a portion of the total project. She indicated that additional funds would be available in 1981 to complete the project. Jim Wold (Hennepin County Transportation Department) said that his agency will accept the City's application for funding and will do what it can to- provide funding for the project. The City Engineer and I recommend splitting the project into two phases with the easterly segment (494 to Co. 73) being completed in 1980 along with theiPineviewCo`. intersection and the westerly segment completed (494 to Vicks- r berg Lane) in 1981. Alternate funding sources, allocations and eligible expenses. are, as follows. 1981) MN DOT Henn. Co.

Wit's the completion of a successful funding package, the City of Plymouth will have an expenditure far less than is estimated in the 1980-84 Parks Capital Improvement Program. 01 Jon J.
