b. Mary Patterson and Rick Busch.. Mary indicated that most summer prograr;s
were now over. Summer concert: series went well, with average attendance
at 150 per concert. Last concert oi' the season had only 80 attend, but
that was due largely to the fact that it had to be rescheduled froa the
previous week because of rain. More teenagers were at this concert than
any other. Puppet wagon evaluations included some suggestions for different
locations. Our first year of a stationary PITS located at Oakwood School
was successful. This was a combined effort with District: 284 summer school
program. Our fall brochure will be delivered to Plymouth residents the
week of September 5. Summer program attendance reports will be available
for the October meeting.
Rick indicated that fall adult softball was half over. Fall youth soccer
is underway, with approximately 550 children participating this year. He
announced that over the coming Labor Day weekend, the first Midwest Class
B USSSA Men's Industrial Softball Tournament would be held in Plymouth
at Zachary= Playfield. Over 40 teams are expected to compete including
some Plymouth teams
c. Others. Resident Barry Winston was present to discuss a trail matter.
Since it was related to the Lundgren Bros. development, it was decided'
to discuss it at that time.
4.. REPORT ON PAST COUNCIL ACTION
a. Fencing of Zachar Pla field. Council approved this item at their last.
meeting. Rain has caused some delays in getting the fencing completed,
but two fields will be done in time for the Labor Day Tournament. The

Bros, presented PRAC with two large drawings indicating where various
parks would.be located within the first phase of development of this
425 -acre site. The first phase, known as Stage A, will include 160
acres It is within this site that the wooded area., located in t4
northwest quadrant, was originally deemed appropriate for City park,
and as such, was reconitended to the City Council by PRAC. When the
Council amended the Comprehensive. Park System Plan to delete this park,
Lundgren Bros. prepared the plans for developing this area into single
family residences. Mr. Pflaum indicated that Lundgren hopes to begin
construction of this area in the fall. The trail network that will be
implemented as this site is developed was explainedto PRAC, and they
were shown a map of where the trails will be. Lundgren is hoping that
the trail running through the natural area can be crushed limestone.,
All other trails will be asphalt, Staff responded that asphalt is easier
to maintain, and reminded PRAC- that the Comprehensive Trail System Plan
calls for ail asphalt trails in this development, Resident Barry Winston,
16005 26th Avenue North, appeared before FRAC to request that the trail
running through the natural area be crushed limestone to discourage too
many bicyclists from using the trail. He's, concerned about vandalism to
homeowners and lack of privacy. FRAC responded that it was more likely
r that the public would stay on the main trail running down Vicksburg, and
that only those people living within the development would use the trail
in the natural e#ea. PRAC agreed with staff that all the trails within
this development should be asphalt so as to remain consistent with the
Comprehensive Trail System Plan. Commissioner Mullan pointed out that
two-inch thick asphalt is not thick enough to prevent weeds and grass
rrom eventually growing through trail
Commissioner Chesebrough, concerned over the possible loss of trees in
the northwest quadrant of this site, asked Mr. Pflaum how they, propose
to develop this site and save as many trees as possi0e. Mr. Pflaum,
stated that their proposed plan calls for 23,000 square foot hots with
h each one being wooded., The lots will have reduced side yard and front
yard setbacks to allow for more mobility in placing the houses: Only
those trees with trunks less than four inches in diameter will; be
6stroyed, and only if necessary in order to place the house and driveway.
Based on the plan proposed by Lundgren, the total park dedication for
Stage A development will be 14.9 acres, but credit will be given for
only 3.9 acres whict'r is all that is above the 100-yeor flood plain. Any
park dedication requirements not met in Stage A deveiotykent will be
carried over to Stage B
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER BERG AND SiCONDED BY COMMISSIONER DVORAK
TO RECOMMEND THAT THE CITY COUNCIL APPROVE THE RPUD PRELIMINARY PLAN/PLAT,
CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND REZONING FOR PARKEkS LAKE DEVELOPMENT -STAGE A
AS PRESENTED BY THE PETITIONER WITH A TOTAL PARK DEDICATION FOR STAGE A OF
14.9 ACRES,
AN AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIO,NER'CHESEBROUGH AND SECONDED
BY COMMISSIONER DVORAK THAT ALL THE TRAILS GOING THROUGH THIS PLAT BE ASPHALT
SO AS TO REMAIN CONSISTENT WITH THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE TRAIL SYSTEM PLAN,
The motion and the amendment carried with all ayes.

a. LAWCON/LCMR Brants - 1983 b 1984. Procedures for the acquisition of two
parcels have been completed or inclusion in West Medicine Lake City Park.
The third parcel is still: in the, process of being negotiated. Owner
disagreed with City's appraisal of property, so he is hiring his own
appraiser.
C.
e.
The application for a 1984 grant has ilso been submitted for two pieces
of property on Forestview Lane. The owner of one of these parcels is.
interested in selling now and is asking $69,500. The appraised value is
57-,500. Director Blank has recommended that the City enter into a purchase
option contingent upon our grant application being approved sometime: next
August,
Play Equint Plymouth Creek, LaCom te, East Beach. The youth corps from
t e Twin Cities Tree Trust has basically finished the construction of the,
Plymouth Creek play equipment. Director Blank said that he's observed many
children using it every time he drives by the park. The LaCompte toys
have been delivered and are up, but are not totally operational yet.. Some
additional ground work stili needs to be done at this site. The East
Beach equipment will be started in a couple of weeks after all softball
activities have been completed at other parks, freeing up some of the
maintenance staff. Director Blank praised the Twin Cities Tree Trust
for their remarkable work and commented on how much they have saved the
City in labor costs.
in discussing the East Beach, Commissioner Chesebrough had a, concern about
the southwest. end of the beach parking lot being occupied by cars full of
surly looking" teenagers whenever he jogs through the area. Director
Blank responded that he hasn't received any other complaints over the last
year or two, but that in past years, the police have gone in there under
cover and confiscated drugs, etc. The beach parking lot is closed at
9:00 p.m. and any cars left un3 tended at closing time are towed away.
C`I:P. Director Blank briefly reviewed his memo to the Planning Commission
whch contained further clarification of the Parks CIP. They were concerned
mostly withthe rising costs of park maintenance. Director Blank indicated
that staff is attempting to control any increases whenever possible.
1984 Budget. Council will be having their first budget study session on
September: One of the items Parks is requesting is a half-time recreation
specialist to be hired in Jai+uary to relieve Mary and Rick of sone of their
duties. The City Manager has given Director Blank his verbal approval and
is going to recommend that the Council approve it as well. Recreation is
also asking for a van, since the small City cars don't always have enough
room inside for some of the equipment that Mary and Rick are required to
haul around..
NEW BUSINESS
a. Meeting Dates. It has been approved for PRAC to begin meeting on the
second Thursday of the month. Meeting dates for the rest of this year

7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION
Commissioner Threinen suggested that. PRAC hold a special "work session" prior to
the end of the year in order to discuss user fees, i.e., how much to charge, when
to implement fees, etc. Director Blank indicated that data on our operational
costs will be available by the end of the year. Several of these costs are
known now. A meeting date for this special work session will be decided at
the October 13 meeting.
4ommissioner Edwards was concerned about an incident that happened earlier in
the summer in the park behind,her home. Gun blasts or very loud fireworks.
were heard: by a number of residents. A police officer was called and Commissioner
Edwards was surprised at his attitude. The officer did not know his way into.
or out of the park and did not seem to be interested in investigating where
the noises came from. It was suggested that perhaps the police department
should have some sort of in-service program or training on the location,
entrances and exits of all the City parks. Director Plank will speak to
Chief Carlquist.
Commissioner Threinen spoke to Mayor Davenport and learned that he plans to
appoint a Chair and Vice -Chair for PRAC in the very near future. He is also
looking for a new member to fill the open position on the Commission.
8. STAFF COMMUNICATLON
Director Blank indicated that staff is beginning to do some preliminary planning
for the City's Community Center. Sometime in September or October a tour will.
be scheduled of other community centers around the metropolitan area. Letters
will be sent to NOA's inviting interested citizens to participate in the tour.
Commissioner Threinen asked that someone from PRAC volunteer to be on the
community center committee and become actively involved in these plans.

SUBJECT: 1983 East Beach Concession Stand
For your information,here are some comparisons between the 1982 and 1983.
concession seasons. Note: These were two notable changes between '82
and '83. We changed from can pop to pre -mix pop and we added popcorn.
1982 1,983
Income $4,553.65 $5,243.26 (+689.61)
Inventory 2,922.60 2,263.01 (-659.59)
Wages 1,525.92 1,731.70 (+205.78)
Profit $ 105.13 $1,248.55 (+1,143.42)
There were break-ins both years.: In 1982, both inventory and cash ($80)
wereta'ken. In 1983, only cash ($50) was taken.
For 1984, 1 would recommend:
1. That the head concessionaire keep a set of books listing wages,
inventory and cash receipts..
2. That a Community Service Officer pick up the money ever night that the
stand is in operation. We would need to secure more locking money
bags for this purpose.
3. That we upgrade the stand with storage shelves under the counter, put a
lock on the cash drawer, and possibly put a formica top on the counter.
4. That we plan to acquire facilities for ice and a snow cone machine i'n
the future.

WESTMINSTER HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
October 2, 1933
Mayor Davenport and Plymouth City
Council Members
Plymouth City Center
3400 Plymouth Boulevard
Plymouth, UK. 55447
Dear Mayor Davenport and .» Members:
The Westminster housing development is nearly five years old. At the present time,
there are no playgrovr.! facilities in the neighborhood and our current children's population
is around 85-4he majority being under ten years old. .
Our children have been used to playing in the field behind our hquses---which has been
a natural area with trees and grass --with activities such as baseball, cross-country skiing,
sledding or just running. However, since June 1983, the area has been continuously under
construction with large machinery and equipment. Soon the field will become a high-speed
freeway, which will be totally unsafe and unsuitable for children to play in.
Their other chof re to play in is the street, which is not safe anymore because of the
increased traffic (including work trucks) due to the detours and roadblocks surrounding our
entire area. Medicine Lake Beach park is too far for young children to go to --besides there
is too much traffic and too many blind curves and hills on *Medicine Lake Drive. The planned
park for Heritage Estates has no access to our children except by crossing Highway 61.
Therefore, the Advisory Board of the Westminster Homeowners Association is requesting
that the City of Plymouth set aside an area in the field between County Road 61 and our houses
to be used as a ball field or playground for the children in our neighborhood. We believe this
is a reasonable request and we would like to hear from you in the near future. We art. willing
to work with the City Council and t[. t City staff to develop an appropriate plan for a play area
for our neighborhood.
We appreciate the cooperation with the City in the past, and we look forward to continued
cooperation in the future.
Sincerely yours, P

Mayor Davenport. and Plymouth City
Council. Members
Plymouth City Center
3400 Plymouth Boulevard
Plymouth, MN. 55447
Dear Mayor Davenport and Council Members
The Westminster housing development is nearly five ,years old.: At the present time,
there are no playground facilities in the neighborhood and our current children's population
is around 85 --the majority being under ten years old.
Our children have b -.-:..,an used to playing in the field behind our houses --which has been
a natural area with trees and grass --with activities such as baseball, cross-country skiing,
sledding or just running. However, since June 1983, the area has been continuously under
construction with large machinery and equipment. Soon the field will become a high-speed
freeway, which will. be totally unsafe and unsuitable for children to play in..
Their other choice to play in is the street, which is not safe anymore because of the
increased traffic (includ!ng work trucks) due to the detours and roadblocks surrounding our
entire area. Medicine Lake Beach park is too far for young children to go to --besides there
is too much traffic and too many blind curves and hills on Medicine take Drive. The planned
park for Heritage Estates has no access to our children: except by crossing Highway 61.
Therefore, the Advisory Board of the Westminster Homeowners Association is requesting
that the City of Plymouth set aside an area in the field between County Road 61 and our houses
to be used as a ball field. or playground for the children in our neighborhood. We believe this
is a reasonable request and we would like to hear from. you in the near future. We are willing
to work with the City Ccuncil and the City staff to develop an appropriate plan for a play area
for our neighborhood.
We appreciate the cooperation with the City in the past, and we look forward to continued
cooperation in the future.
Sincerely yours,
f n

of dropping the Oleanioch rink which is based on the receipt of a written
potition and utter from the homeowners asking us to discontinue
maintenance of a, rink at Cieanloch bejinninn this winter, At this time,
we have not had, any communicp.tion, formal ov informal, with homeowners
or other groups throughout t)e City. If you would, like us to conduct
such a survey or information campaign, we could doso and report back
to you the results at your November, meeting,

FISCAL YEAR 1984 LAilCON/LCMR GRANT RANKINGS
Staff Recommendations
On Septemipr 22. 1983s staff frost the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota
Department of Energy and Economic Developtrent (DEED) meet to rank the FY '84
LAMCON/LCMt park grants. The attached rankings are based on a combination of
three factors:
1. The "MC/R" colunm is the ranking of the applications based on the Council's
Crittria for Review of Local Park Applications - FY 1484."
2. The "MC/N" column is tk ranking of applications based on the MC/R ranking
two-thirds weight) and one-third weight of the sponsor community's
performance in providing low and moderate -income housing.
3. The "DEED" column is the ra.1king of applications by the Dept, of Energy and
Economic Development.
4. The "Final" column represents the combined rankings from the "MC/4' and
DEED" columns.
Due to the following factors staff could not determine a potential funding cut-
off tine.
Federal LAWCON funds have not been allocated by Congress. If they are.
allocikted, more projects could receive a grant.
The LCMR. has not yet made a decision on whether acquisition of school
district property is eligible for a grant. There are three such projects=
sponsored by communities in the Fully Developed Area.
The LCMR has limited acquisition grants to 25 percent: of the total grant
fund, bit has not decided whether the 25 percent 'limit should be applied
by policy planning area allocations.

Pilgrim Lane PTA Request for Financial Assistance.
The attached memo to Jim Willis went tefore the City Council on Monday,
October 3. The Council has sent this matter to the Park and Recreation
Advisory Commission for your review and recommendation. There is no
urgency in handling this request, therefore, I am recommending that we
conduct a general discussion regarding this matter at our meeting this
month and delay action on the item until the November lO meet;ing. In
general, I believe that Pilgrim Lane Elementary School has been, and
will continue to act as, the neighborhood park for the Pilgrim Lane
neighborhood. Therefore, I believe it is reasonable that the City
could invest some of our neighborhood park dollars into improving
this park area so that it meets standards of other parks within the
City. The policy in question here is if we begin to do this, we
have situations at other elementary schools where they are also
serving as neighborhood parks, and we have to realize that we may
be faced with this same request in the future from other PTA's, etc.
The second question that needs to be discussed is to what extent
should our financial involvement be in this project?

FROM Eric Blank, PaH, and Recreation Director
SUBJECT: Request by the Pilgrim Lane PTA for the City of Plymouth to Help Finance
Playground Improvement
I am in receipt of a copy of the letter from the Pilgrim Lane PTA to
Mayor Davenport. T am familiar with this subject inasmuch as I have
met one time with Len Theide and the principal of the school in order
for them to show me the model of their proposed construction of playground
equipment. Because Pilgrim Lane Elementary is a neighborhood park site
in our Comprehensive Park System Plan, I believe that their request does
have some merit. But because there are other elementary schools such
as Sunset, Birchview, Greenwood and Oakwood also acting as neighborhood
park sites throughout the community, I think this request must be reviewed
for consistency and any precedent that it may set. Therefore, I would
recommend that the City Council send ittothe Park and Recreation
Advisory Commission for review and recommendation. The next meeting of
the Commission is Thursday, October 13.

City of Plymouth

Plymouth, MN. 55447
Dear Mr. Davenport:
The purpose ol this letter is to invite the City of Plymouth to enter into a
joint development with the Pilgrim Lane P.T.A. to build a neighborhood play-
ground
lay-
ground at Pilgrim Lane. Elementary.
A few years ago the Pilgrim Lane P.T.A. began sponsoring fundraisers to im-
prove our playground facilities. Originally our intentions were to add an
item or two to the wood structures donated by the: P.T.A. some years ago. Once
we. had accumulated enough money to consider a purchase, we formed a committee
of parents, teachers, and administration to evaluate alternatives. The com-
mittee decided to develop a long range plan for the facility rather than to
buy what we could afford in the short. term.
After a good deal of study, attending seminars and visiting ";nany playgrounds,
we have developed our long range plan and have built a model of the facility
we intend to build. The plan preserves all existing playing fields and takes
advantage of the wooden structures already installed. The parents, teachers.
and students who have seen this model are very excited about it.
To date we have accumulated over $5,000.00. Our fundraiser in progress should
net an additional $3,000.00. It is a modest beginning, but we are proud of our
efforts,
As We view the model, we feel it meets the high quality standards of Plymouth
neighborhood playgrounds. Since there is no playground in the immediate area,
Pilgrim Lane is a natural place for one. As you know, we already have a hockey
rink, a baseball field and a soccer field at Pilgrim Lane. It has become a
center of activity. We feel that our proposed design would. serve well both the
recess and lunch time needs of Pilgrim Lane while satisfying the need for a
neighborhood playground.
Y
Mr. David J. Davenport

We would appreciate your consideration of entering a joint development with the
Pilgrim Lane P.T.A. We feel that there is a need for a neighborhood park and a
need for a better school playground. We have workedwith your Park and Recreat-
ion staff on a continuing basis and are confident that they would be an asset in.
this cooperative venture. We have the parent support to do most or all of the
work on a volunteer basis.
We ask that you please consider this project for the Plymouth Park and Recreation
development budget.
Thank you for your continued interest and support•
Sincerely,
Len Thiede

For your information, here are 'some comparisons -between the 1982 and 1,983
concession seasons, Note There were two nobble changes between 182
and 183. We changed from can pop to pre -mix pop and we added popcorn
1982 1983

Plllt i't $ 105.13 $1;248,55 (+1,1,43,42)
There were break-ins both years. In 1982, both inventory and cash ($80)
were taken, to 1983,, only, cash ($50)was taken.
For 1964, 1 would recomme,d
1, That the head concessionaire keep a set of books listing wages,
inventory and cash receipts.
2. That a Community Service Officer, pick up the money every night that the
stand is in operation. We would need to secure more oc ng money
bags for this purpose:
3. That we upgrade the stand with storage shelves under the counter, put a
bock on the cash drawer, and possibly put a formica top on the counter;
4. That we plan to acquire facilities for ice and a snow cone machine in
the future.

MEMO
TO PRAM,
FROM Crit 6tlaok
SUBJECTz Canoe Racks and Sailboat Moorings
I have enclosed for your review infomati on from the Mi nneapOi s Paek and
Recreation Board with regard to their program of rental of canoe ricks
and sailboat moorings on City of Minneapolis lakes, I believe that we
have. location$ on lakes such as Bass, Schmidt, Medicine and Parkers
where now or in the future, we have the potential for rental of either
sailboat moorings or dry land canoe rack's, This is an area which I think
we should be exploring over the winter months so that we might be in a
position to try a demonstration location project in the summer of 1964,
The City of Minneapolis generates in excess of $75,000 annually from their
program,, obviously we are not in a position to generate those type of
dollars, but any t„4pe of 'revenue we can generate for supplementing our
recreation fund will only help in tents of cutting down on the general
tax dollars needed to, supplement the recreation fundF r also think that
this will helpp with the problem oo some of our lakes such as Parkers take,
Bass lake and schmidt Lake where we own public Land but do not have formal
public access far boats to alleviate some of that pressure..

user (also the most frequently observed mat*-ecraft tape
on the lake), but made up only 3% of the access.use.
V. The activities of boaters on Medicine Lake mere monitored
during; the 1983 summer season as well as the summer of
1990. The attached Figures 1 and 2 note changes by time of
day in 1983 activities which appeared to be significant wl- en
compare to 1980 use.
A Weekdays (Figure 1)# there didn't appear to be ang)
significant change in use by activity, by time of day.
B. However, there were two apparent changes in average
weekend day use, by time of day (Figure 2).
1. The peak of sailing in the afternoon (2 00) was
Lowered from over 90 people in 1980, to aS people
in 1983.
2. Fishing as an activity seemed to be beer
throughout the day in 1983' when compared to 1990
use.
C. Datacollected was not detailed enough in 1983 to
eXplain the changes observed in Weekend use. Changes
may have been the result of Weather coitditiovts
affecting the specific activities, as Well as many
other possible causes. These apparent changes are
noted and should be monitored in the future for
continuing trehds.
vr. Summary
Considerable use was observed at theHedicine Lake Regional.
Park during 1983, (26,000 uses). Most of this Use (80%)
was focused around the only facility provided - the lake
Access*
There was a difference in the percent of watercraft observed
using the access and those using the lake. Motorized
fishing boats Were the major users- of the access, mt1ile
Sailboats Were most freque-otly obsxrved on the lake itself.
The number of people participating in water activities; was
unchanged in 1993 when compared to 1980 use observatioii.
There however, appears to be a change in weekend use, a
reduction in th# number op people sailing and fishings,

c. Letter from -Gary Welch re: Son's -Injuryat Lions Park. Director Blank,
rem n e e commissioners of this incident that oo place this past
summer at Lions Park during a youth baseball game sponsored by the Wayzata
Plymouth Baseball Association. Mr. Welch is asking the City's insurance
to cover some of the costs associated with his son's injury. Our City
attorney is looking into this matter now to determine if the City is liable
in this type of injury, i.e., a non -City sponsored event. PRAC needs to
consider establishing a policy whereby Athletic Associations would be
required to carry some form of liability insurance before they would be.
allowed to use our facilities. This item will be discussed at PRAC's next
work sess 'on.
5. a. Mg'NimsLane PTA Request. Len Theide, representing the Pilgrim Lane PTA,
appeared before the Commission to show them a model of playground equipment
their organization designed and is proposing for installation at the
Pilgrim Lane neighborhood park. He briefly explained how this project
began and its current status. He estimates that the completed project, as
proposed, would cost approximately $50,000 with the parents providing the
labor to construct the equipment. Once the project is completed, the PTA
will donate it to the Pilgrim Larne Elementary School, and they would then
be responsible for its maintenance. Mr. Theide commented that the PTA would
be very grateful if the City could contribute some financial assistance toward
completing this project. Chair Threinen asked Director Blank to research two
areas of this project prior to the November meeting and before PRAC makes
any recommendations. One is the safety factor of the proposed equipment,
and second is to cost out the project. Director Blank pointed out that our
involvement in this project may encourage other schools that act as neigh-
borhood park sites to ask our support for similar projects. It was suggested
that our financial contribution could be 50% of what we would normally
spend to build play equipment in a neighborhood park, rather than 50% of
what this organization has proposed. Play equipment already in place at
Pilgrim Lane is about one-third of what is installed at Plymouth Creek Park.
PRAC will make their recommendation at the November meeting.
b. ftyiew Winter Skating Rink Locations. The Commission reviewed a map of last
year's rink oca ons and scusse the sites for the winter of 1983-84. The
sites will remain the same with the exception of Gleanloch and Heritage Estates.
Gleanloch is being dropped at the requestof the homeowners, and Heritage
Estates is being deleted due to lack of flat land.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER BERG AND SECONDED BY CObMISSIONER CHESEBROUGH
TO APPROVE THE RINK LOCATIONS PROPOSED FOR 1983-84 AS OUTLINED IN DIRECTOR
BLANK'S MEMO OF OCTOBER 109 1983. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES..
c. Review NRPA Conference and MRPA Conference. Director Blank discussed some
of fhe seminars he—attended uric g this year's annual National Recreation and
Parks Association Congress geld in Kansas City in early October. Of particular
interest to h1 m was the Overland Community Center located in Overland, Kansas..
QWT Threiren reminded the conmisstoners that she is still ?,00king for a
member to chair the 1'lommuntty Center Citizen Committee.

Commissioner Chesebrough volunteered for this responsibility. Director Blank
announced that the annual MRPA Conference will be held in Rochester in November.
Money is budgeted for PRAC members to attend. Members should inform Nancy
if they wish to go to all or part of the conference.
d. Joint Mee_t__L_aj.,ith City Council. Tuesday, November 29, has been chosen as
The date for the Joit meet ng between PRAC and the City Council. It will
begin at 5:30 p.m. and will include a light dinner. Suggested agenda items

insurance, fees to be charged to users of our facilities, and requests by
PTA's/cities groups to fund playground equipment at school sites that serve
as neighbo0tood parks.
7. COWISSION PRESENTATION

the regular monthly meeting. I*n order to cover both a regular meeting agenda
and the work session, the meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m In order for PRAC to

SUBJECT: Youth Sports Liability Insurance
Attached are two memos, for your information, from Frank Boyles, the
Assistant City Manager, and from our insurance underwriter.
Both of these memos deal with the probl-m of youth athletic associations
not carrying liability insurance. As we discussed at last month's meeting,
this issue is one which should be properly -Addressed when we discuss the
overall issue of the economics of youth athletic associations using
Plymouth facilities. I believe this is one item which will be jointly
di;Zussed with the City Council at the meeting on November 29. No
action is necessary on this information at Thursday's meeting. I
simply wanted you to have it far enough in advance so that you could
begin thinking about it. I hope that this information helps clarify
the situation. If you have specific questions regarding it after you
have reviewed the material, please give me a call, so that I can follow
up with Mr. Boyles or with the insurance company..

FROM: Frank Boyles, Assistant City Manager
SUBJECT POLICY ISSUE WHETHER OR NOT TO REQUIRE LEAGUESIASSOCIATIONS TO CARRY
INSURANCE AND SIGN A HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
An insurance claim was recently made against the City for Injuries
which a child sustained at an Association/Leaoue sponsored baseball
game on City fields. The claim amounted to $3,000 In medical fees.,.
The Injury occurred when the younger brother of a participant in the
baseball game, walked too close to the older brother who was swinginq
the bat. The child was hit In the head and required surgery to cor-
rect the damages.
The significance of this cka m is that the CitS has not heretofore
required insurance coverage or hold harmless agreements from leagues
or assoclatlons sponsoring events o0 PlY-iouth playfields. Instead,
the City has assumed responsibility for such claims through our .insur-
ance program. Generally claims of this nature include demands for
Medica) cost reimbursement, costs of defense and pain and sufferino
damares. Because of the substantial potential losses which could be
a!,:.oclated with such claims, the Council should determine whether or
not the existing policy should be continued.
Ltider the existing policy, with the exception of events where beer is
to be .sold, the City has no requirements whatsoever for associations
jr leagues to he insured or that they submit a hold harmless agreement
to the City. This means that an individual injured at a leaque/
association sponsored event as a result of negligence, has the option
of either making no claim at all or making a claim to the City assum
Ing that the associatlon has no coverage. I should emphasize that the
subject at hand deals only with negligence claims and not claims
resulting from Injuries sustaiged by participants which resulted from
the normal course of a contest.
In lieu of the current procedure, the City could require associations
to Orovide ., signed broad form hold harmless agreement to the City and
recommend thatthe association secure insurance coverage. In this
Instance, If a claim for damages arising out of negligence were sub-
mitted, the City's insurance company would consider the claim.
Reimbursement would then be requested from the association or league
as a condition of future use of City racilities. Under this option,
If the association does not have sufficient resources to pay the
claim, the City has virtually no chance for reimbursement of its
expenses.

INSURAWCE AND SIGN A, HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT`
November Q, 1953

Anothr option would be to r ,u lrc all leagues. and associations tofiee:
carry insurance coverage for damages resulting from n.egitgence during
activities. which they sponsor, and, require that they provide a hold
harmlets agreement to the City. Underoption, ne ligence claims
received by the City or its insurance company, would be directly for-
warded to the association or league for processing by their Insurance
company.
In making this policy determination the, Council should consider thatt.
i'. The cost Of insurance coverage would run the association
between S ote season. Some associations would simply
not be ab e"` t"+oMord such ekpenses and would have to discon
tioue their activities at City facilities.
Z. The coverage which the insurance affords does riot include
damages sustained by two participants as a. natural" Part of a
contest. The coverage Is limited to injuries Incurred by non
participants as a result of negligence on the part of partici-
pants.
Council direction s requested regardin;, the most appropriate policy
to pursue.

RE11 Secondary or Enjoined General Liability
Dear Frank,
0
October 17, 1983
Thank you for your letter of October 10, 1.963 advising me of the
personal injury sustained by Gary Welsh at a city owned, baseball
field. I will attempt to respond to the various poits that you
raised in this letter regarding the City of Plymouth's liability
in incidences of this nature.
As you are aware. Crank, in addition to being held responsible for
not maintaining a "safe place", the City of Plyrouth can also be
4ued for permitting an event, program or activity to take place on
its' premises alleging that it was not properly supervised or was not
safe.
Actually, Frank, the city of Plymouth may be sued or enjoined in a
lawsuit for any reason by any individual or organization. The city's
insurance policies, General Liability with Personal injury and
Employee Benefit coverage extensions, Public Officials Liability;
Police Professional Liability; Automobile coverage and Umbrella
Insurance protect the city against the cost of defense and judgements
of liability suits whether valid or fraudulent and groundless, However,
the basic question is not whether the City of Plymouth's insurance wil': al-
ways respond, and pay the cost of a claim, but what can the city do to
be "held harmless" or transfer liability for a claim. While being "held
harmless" or transferring the liability, the party or parties benefiting
from the event or program would have to pay the cost of defending any
suit and paying any judgement if the city is sued or enjoined in a lawsuit
alleging liabil%ty or negligence. This., of course, will mean better loss
experience for the City of Plymouth and lower insurance premium. costs.
Frank, you raised the question if it would he prudent for the city to
require athletic associations to carry General Liability .insurance, The
answer is, of course, "yes". In fact, it is prudent For the city to
require all associations, organizations, companies or individual who may
have a specific project or program that eiiher requires the permission of
the City of Plymouth, or the•use of city property to have General Liability

Insurance., In addition, the City of Plymouth should be named as "An; Additional
Insured" (Not, At, Add't onal Named Ins%,redl on these policies and the city
should have either a copy of the policy or a copy of the endorsement, The city
should also require u Broad. Fong Hold Harmless agreement to be signed by a
priheipal or officer of the association or organization. This, of course, would
also require a General. Liability policy of the association, organization, or
individual to include Contractual. Liability coverage.
The answers to the specific questions you asked are as follows,
estion What would be a typical annual cost to an athletic association
for such insurance?
Answer° Frank, r cannot give you a specific cost, The premium will
depend upon the size of the association, the nature of its'
activities and the number of ballgataes pla`ved per year. We
can obtain this data and provide you with a quotation for
each specific association.
Question: in situations of this nature, there the injury is not dttr to

sponsored directly 1. the city- .,a t is the city's liability?
Answer't The answer to this question s partially covered in my above
remarks, Each situation would, define the city's responsibility.
For example; What was the city's obligation to screen the group
or event - to make certain the use of city facilities would be
for legal and prudent purposes, under the supervision and
direction of competent, capable a»d sober leaders or officers?'

The city could be sued or enjoined in a lawsuit for not exercising
care and prudence in conjunction with permitting, or licensing a

Question: If the city has little or no liability in events hold on city park.
property Ytnd are not sponsored whatsoever by the city, what is the
best way that we can convey the nature of the claim to the insur—
ance company so that they do not inadvertently pay the claim?'
Answer! Frank, the insurance company will NOT pay a liability claim
without contacting the City of Plymouth.. The person they will
usually contact will be the. Finance Director, Mr. Lloyd Nicker,
However, all claims, both property and liability should be
submitted to the Chandler Insurance Agency so that we can be aware
of the claim and all its' process. This includes obtaining
additional information where necessary and following up with the
insurance company to make sure that the claim is judiciously and
speedily processed.

SUBJECT; Westminster Homeowners Associatioiy Request for Neighborhood Park.
llpoi receipt of the attached letter from the Westminster Homeowners Association,
the City Council, at their October 17 meeting, requested that the Park and
Recreation Advisory Commission review the association`s request for additional
neighborhood park and make a recaRnzndation to the City Council,
The Westminster letter is attached its Exhibit A. Also attached for your
review, as Exhibit 8, is a comprehensive plan map showing the 50 walking
neighborhoods as used in our comprehensive planning throughout the City,
ire Westminster neighborhood is 'located in the r:ortheriy portion of
neighbot,hood number 27 as colored in orange. The proposed neighborhood park
closest to this area is located west of new County Road 61 in nwighborhood
number 23 (colored in green). According to our Comprehensive System Plan,
neighborhood number 23 will have an estimated population of 3,440. Its
ultimate park need for neighborhood park will be 8;5 12 acres, and its
current deficiency is 8;5 12 aches of hand. Our comprehensive plan also
indicates that for neighborhood number 27, we will have an estimated population
of 2,270.. The ultimate park heeds are 5.5 - 8 acres; The plan further indicates
that the neighborhood park needs can and should be met by the development of
neighborhood facilities at West Medicine Lake Park and that the deficiency for
neighborhood number 27 is 1.5 - 4 acres; Other factors which may or may not
have a strong bearing on this decision include:
1. Neighborhood number 2.3 is surrounded by highways on all four
sides, I-494 on the west, Highway 55 on the south, County Road
61 on. the east and County Road 9 on the north.
2. Neighborhood number 27 is surrounded by Highway 55 on the south,
industrial on the west and lake on the east.
3. Neighborhood number 27 has a proposed neighborhood park within. a
city park located at the sound end of this planning neighborhood,.
The acquisition of West Medicine Lake City Park is currently
underway with our LAWCON grant, The development time frame for
this park has not been determined at this time,
4. Neighborhood number 23, at this time, has no acquired park land
at all,
Jestaninster Homeowners Association

F. our mprehensive system plan recommends that we acquire and.
develop no parks under five acres in size. This recommendation
was based on the fact that parks under five acres tend to focus
in on sub -neighborhood needs rather than total neighborhood
needs and really become high maintenance items which more.
rightly so belong in the ownership and operation of homeowners
associations.
6. If the park is either on the west, or east: side of County Road
61, the crossing; of County Road 61 will be just as unacceptable
for those people living in the Heritage Estates area as it is
for people hiving in the Westminster area,
7. With the planning that was undertaken for County Road 61,
the Heritage Estates people have been very vocal about the
development of County Road: 61, Throughout these discussions
with the City Council; and the Planning Commission and staff,
the idea of a neighborhood park lying west ofCounty Road 61
has been brought up numerous times, it is safe to say at
this time than those people living west of County Road 61 are
fully aware and expect that a neighborhood park will be developed.
west of County Road 61.
8, A precedent for thfs type of request has been before the Park and
Recreation Advfsory Commission and City Councilpreviously.
Neighborhood slumber 44, colored in yellowy on the map, had made
a request that a small bit of land be set aside west of new County
Road 61 for their park needs at the time that the Carlson develop -
vent takes place. That request Was reviewed by the Park and
Recreation Advisory Costmission and City Council and it was determined
that the existing designated neighborhood park at Sunset Elementary
School was adequate to meet the neighborhood park needs for this
area and that the City should not acquire further land west of
County Road 61, The basis of the request for this neighborhood
was their fear that they would not be able Q cross County Road
61 once It was developed. The conclusion by the Park and
Recreation Advisory Commission and City Council on this matter
was that County Road 61 would not be a barrier and thus prohibit
the use of the neighborhood park by those people living west of
hew -County Road 61 in planotnq neighborhood number 44,
On E=xhUft C 1 have shown the basic layout of the area lying both east and west
of County Road 61.. We are in the process of acquiring both parcels. The boxed
in area lying on the far east edge of this development along West Medicine Lake
Boulevard is a small parcel of land owned by the Hennepfn County Park Reserve
District: The area that is covered by vertical lines is a 40 -acre tract owned
by Lundgren Egos, development. I have drawn in the approximate location of
new County Road 61. The dash lines show the development of the City's trail
system throughout this area and the black area is the proposed neighborhood
park site lying west of County Road' 61 as shown on the current Comprehensive
Nark System plan. I believe the actual shape of a park, once the detailed
elevations and grade changes due to County Road 61 are completed; will change
if the park land stays on the west side of County Road 61.

1 believe the Commission has three choices that they can make with this particular
request. The first choice is to stay with the existing plan as proposed, The
second choice is to move the neighborhood park east of County Road 61 and the
third choice is to split the park land on both theeast and west sides of County
Road 61. If the Commission is inclined to consider splitting the: park land,
I would recommend that they consider relocating that portion of park west of
County Road 61 and north of 34th Avenue, so that that portion of neighborhood:
park west of County Road 61 will be centrally located in planning neighborhood
lumber 23, Onder those conditions, neighborhood number 27 would have two
neighborhood parks, one on the far north and one on the far south end of the
neighborhood,
Recommendation I recommend the Park anal Recreation Advisory Commission
consider recommending developing park sites in bothh neighborhood numbers
23 and the northerly portion of neighborhood number 27; I recommend this for
two reasonst fKt> locating the neighborhood park in neighborhood number
23 on the south boundary would; seem inappropriate. I believe it would be
better located centrally north of 34th Avenue, This would make it more
accessible to the bulk of the population in neighborhood number 23, therefore,
better serving its purpose. Next, I believe that neighborhood number 27,
because of its unusual configuration, can be served best by locating a small
portion of park land on the north and a small portion of neighborhood park
on the south: T would envision the portion in the north to be approximately
four acres in size and have very minimal development consisting of an open
field for baseball and very minimalplayground apparatus., This park would
be located in a triangular piece of property located in the southwest corner
of the large triangular piece of property created: by the new County Road 61
ana West Medi`ci'ne Lake Boulevard in the Westminster neighborhood. Access to
the park would come off the 30th Av nue cul-de.nsac, This triangular piece
of property will be very difficult to develop residentially and would simply
become long backyards on any residential development that might take place
on this property. T believe this area would be better suited for a small opet
park area. The down side of thfisa recommendation is the cost factor which I
would estimate to be approximately $40,000 worth of land and another $20,000
worth of develupment. The land will not become a cash factor because it will
be dedicated off the 40 -acre tract owned by Lundgren Bros, So the development
of the property will be the only cost associated with the project; Cost is
one factor which the: Park and Recreation Advisory Commission and city Council
can have direct control over and limit if they so choose,.
If the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission is inclined to go with my
recommendation, I would further recommend that a public hearing on an amendment
to the Comprehensive Park System Plan, relocating these two parcels of park,
be undertaken. I have attached a memo from Paul 6jare further explaining
the rationale for this kind of change to our plan.
