Athletic Association Representatives. alone were present at this meeting. b. Mary Patterson and Gay Harmon. Mary discussed some of the new classes being offered for the winter session. Our most popular Bits and Pieces class "Color Analysis" generated so much interest that, inoorder to accommodate everyone on the waiting list, we scheduled five classes throughout January and February. Another new class, called "Child's Play," teaches moms and dads how to play with their children from newborns through 3 years of age. The newly formed running club has 28 members and is doing well.. Director Blank introduced Gay Harmon, the new half-time recreation specialist, who joined the staff on January 10. Gay discussed some of the programs he will be offering and then briefly entertained the commissioners with a few dance steps. 4. Report on Past Council Action a. Commission Appointment Judy LaTour. Director Blank noted that the Council appointed Judy LaTour to fill the vacancy on the commission and that they had also reappointed Barbara Edwards for another three year term. Director Blank stated that the City was very grateful for Commissioner Edwards' continued support, and he made a special note that she has been on the Commission for 15 years. 5. Unfinished Business a. Park User Fees - Report from Dave Berg. Commissioner Berg was enable to attend the meeting, but he had prepared a memo on his own personal recommendations regarding user fees which was handed out to each commissioner. He recommends against implementing user fees for the following reasons: 1) neighboring communities do not charge fees, 2) the purpose of building parks and playfields is for their use by public and maintenance should be responsibility of City, PRAC Minutes. of January 12., 1984 Page 2 3) youth, athletic groups provide volunteers to help with programs; thus eliminating the need for the City to hire additional park and recreation staff, 4) City is already charging adults to use parks, and this offsets park maintenance costs, 5) area schools do not charge City for use of indoor facilities, 6) only the sport of soccer requires additional field maintenance and it does not seem appropriate to single out this one activity, 7) imposing usage fees might create negative public relations for the City.. After reviewing Commissioner Berg's memo, it was decided to table action until the February meeting, since input was desired from Commissioners Dvorak and Mullan who were not in attendance. Chair Threinen asked that. Commissioner Berg's memo be sent to Mayor Davf,port and to Commissioners Mullan and Dvorak prior to the next meeting. b. LAWCON Grant Update. Because our LAWCON grant application was ranked in 6th place, we will get 24% of the amount vie requested, approximately $39,000. Instead ofacquiring two parcels of property, we will only buy one at this time for inclusion in West Medicine Lake: City Park. Staff is now in the process of re -writing the application which is due January 27, 1984. c.. Community Center Update Steve Chesebrough. Commissioner Chesebrough reviewed the tour held on December 3, and discussed the upcoming tour planned for the City Council and FRAC, scheduled for January 25. He also reviewed the charge to the committee which has been prepared and will go to the City Council for their approval. Following that approval, it will be given to the Community Center Citizens Committee. The next meeting of the Committee is January 19, and based on feedback received by staff, a good representation is expected. The proposed agenda includes; a rselcome from the Mayor, a review of the draft. charge, a review of the Comprehensive Park System Plan and downtown Plymouth, a review, of the cormnunity centers tour, a review of the outline of proposed process for community involvement, a review of possible facilities to be included ir, tAho center, some wort assignments for the committee, and scheduling the next meeting date. d. 18th Avenue Property Update. A recomendation to acquire the property at 11814 18th Avenue North, for inclusion in West Medicine Lake City Park, will go before the City Council for their approval on Monday, January 16. Staff has decided to wait on the purchase of the property at 11808 18th Avenue until the owner, Mrs. Lentz, has found alternative housing. 6. New Business a.. Annual Report - draft. Draft copies of a partially completed annum report were sent to each commissioner and reviewed during the meeting. Goals and objectives for 1984 were discussed and some changes were made. Those changes will be incorporated into the final copy which will be available for the February meeting. PRAC Minutes of January 12, 1984 Page 3 b. Pla E uipmeu t -- Zachary Playfield. Director Blank stated that the 1984 CIP allocated $25,000 for the installation of play equipment at the Zachary Playfield'. A site has been chosen, and Director Blank is recommending that work begin on this project as soon as possible in order for the structure to be ready for sumer use. The design will be done by our park staff with the limited assistance of a landscape architect.. Bids will go out for the actual construction and installation. A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER CHESEBROUGH AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER EDWARDS RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZE THE EXPENDITURE OF 25,000 FROM THE PARK DEDICATION FUND, PLAYFIELD AND TRAILS ACCOUNT, FOR THE INSTALLATION OF PLAY EQUIPMENT AT THE ZACHARY PLAYFIELD. The motion carried with all ayes. 7. Commission Presentation Commissioner Chesebrough said that members of the Footprints Running Club approached him about the possibility of having a lighted running track made available for their use during the spring, fall and winter. fie indicated to them that they could attend the PRAC meting and make a formal request if they wished to do so. Director Blank stated that Plymouth Creek Park would be the ideal place for them to run since it already contains the vita course, and the park is lighted. 8. Staff Communication Director Blank announced that a letter had been sent to Dr. Shirli Vioni from Jim Willis regarding the expansion of the Oakwood parking lot. The City has set aside funding in the 1984 CIP for this expansion, and the purpose of the letter was to find out if the district will be able to help with the cost. Dr. Vioni was asked to respond to the letter within two weeks indicating the district's position. Director Blank recently sent a letter to Gary Gibbons of the Wayzata Hockey Association asking for the Association's opinion on the need for a second hockey rink at Oakwood. Any response from the hockey association will be referred to the Commission, once it is received. The next meeting is scheduled for February 9 and may include an informal public hearing on the Westminster Homeowners request. Final copies of the annual report will be distributed, and the 1984 Park Rental Policies and Fee Schedule will be reviewed, 9. Adjournment The meeting adjourned at 8:48 p.m. MEMORANDUM DA.TZ: January 10, 1984 TO: PRAC FROM: Dave Berg SUBJECT': Field Usage Fees -Youth Sports At the last PRAC meeting, it was requested that Eric and I get together and determine what park maintenance costs could be attributed to excess usage by youth sports. Also, what, if any, usage fees would be appropriate. E-ric and. I met, and reviewed the Information provided by the Park Maintenance Department along with several other factors. It is my recommendation that PRAC recommend to the City Council not to implement user fees for youth sports or to the various athletic associations at thio time. The following reasons support this recommendations A survey of riei:ghboring communities indicated that none are charging field usage fees for youth sports through athletic associations. 2. A consistent philosophy within cities is to provide parks and play fields and that they are intended to be used. Additionally, as part of providing the facilities, park maintenance is the responsibility to the City. 3. The area youth athletic groups provide many volunteers to run the youth sport programs for the: residents of Plymouth. If they did not, the City would have the responsibility, which would require additional Park b Rec staff. 4. Currently the City is charging for adult usage of fields. These fees are an offset to the park maintenance costs and a start for usage fees. S The area school districts currently do not charge athletic associations or the City for usage of indoor facilities. 6. A review of the park maintenance costs indicate that only one sport, soccer, requires additional field maintenance. It does not seem appropriate to single out one activity and charge usage fees only for that one. In addition, it is estimated that over 85% of the participants in all soccer programs are residents of Plymouth. 7. The maintenance costs which could be attributed to the excess use of fields by youth sports is a vely small percentage of the total Park and Recreation budget. By imposing usage fees, the negative public relations the City would receive would not be off set by the revenue generated. Several athletic associations have indicated that if field usage fees are imposed, they would have to raise their fees to the participants, and would indicate the increase was due to fees imposed by the City Plymouth. I will be out of town on January 12th and will not be at the. PRAC meetings Eric is aware of my recommendation and should be able to answer any questions.

This is a program that was begun in, 1981 in an effort to allow us to purchase individual capital items which previously had not been purchased with the development of various park sites throughout the community. These items, by definition, normallY cost in exce3§ of $300 and have a life span in excess of five years. The at-tachment lists nine different items to be included for acquisition during 1984. Also listed is the estimated cost for the purchase of these Items. These are all items which staff believes will either add something new to our park and recreation programs not currently available or enhance an existing park or facility so that it will be bettet, used during the coming seasons. I suggest the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission make a recommendation to the C!,ty Council. endorsing these, projects for approval during 1984. The funding for these items ,is to come from the revenue sharing account. np Attachments* List Of System Improvements 1984-88 GTP 1984, 25,000 SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS Estimated Cost Tmprovement I'QOO Frisbee Golf - Zachary and/or Plymouth Creek 6,000 Score boards for Zachary Playfield (5) 900 Flag Poles - Zachary, Plymouth Creek, Oakwood 5,850 Trash Containers 4,000 Bleachers and Concert Bleacher Pads Soo Canoe Racks - Sailboat Moorings 4,500 Fitness Court - Zachary 2,000 Try an experimental artificial turf on the goal 24,750 area of one socw1footba,11 field Blacktop skating rink for roller hockey?

Any group wishing to use Plymouth's park facilities should make a request in writing providing as much lead time as possible-. Permit request forms are available through the Park and Recreation department. Seven days is the minimum request time for any facility usage. Requests will be filled based on availa- bility and facility condition. It's the City's policy that the long-range care and maintenace of all park facilities. takes precedence over any single event. Permits will be denied and/or revoked when: and if the City believes dairage may occur to park facilities. The decision to grant or revoke a permit is solely up to the discretion of the director of Park and Recreation and/or his/her appointee, By adopting this policy, the City reinforces its commitment to provide clean, safe and fun parks for every resident's enjoyment.

At the conclusion or each sport season, each association shall compile and provide to the Park and Recreation Department a detailed analysis of the number of teams, games played, practices held and youth involved in their association so that a determination can be made as to the percentage of facilities to be allocated the following year, Groups that do not provide registration information won't be given permits. 1963 Park Facility Rental Policies and Fee Schedule Page 2 C.

January 18, 1984 Mr. Eric Blank Director, Parks & Rec. City of 'Plymouth 340 Plymouth Blvd. Plymouth, W 55447 Dear Eric: S. W. Chesebrough 3615 Evergreen Plymouth, mq 55441 User Fees Each member of PRAC receives a copy of the "Metro Monitor." In case you haven't yet had a chance to read the January .issue, I'd like to point out an article., It is titled "Leisure activities surveyed - 94% says parks valuable; ranked over libraries, buses," I attach a copy of the article, I thought this was an interesting article. The single point that most attracted my attention was this statement.: To meet the increased costs of operating parks, people were strongly in favor of increasing user fees and less willing to support a tax increase or reduction in park services." The survey as described covered the metropolitan area adult population. There- fore it seems reasonable to say that includes Plymouth's adult population. I am interested in PRAC getting more information on the survey described in the article. If Betty is willing to go along with this thought, here are some possible suggestions to consider: 1. Get a copy of the study 2. Get a copy of the questionnaire 3. .invite Charles Smith to address PRAC I note the study under -represented small households, low -.income households, mobile households, and minority groups. How can we get some input on user fees from Plymouth citizens who fall .into these categories? Please call, me at 540-7146 (weekdays) if you wish to discuss this. I'd be willing to help out with sane of the busywork if you wish. Sincerely, Stephen W. Chesebrough SNC; ja Att. cc: Mrs. Betty Threinen Leisure activities surveyed - 94% say parks valuable; ranked over libraries, buses Whether you send your free time sky- diving, kydiving, canoeing or stamp collecting, chances are goad you value parks. In fact, 94 percent of the Metropolitan Area's adult population think parks are valuable—whether they use them or not anew study by the Metropolitan Coun- cil shows. The study wase maid urvey of adult Area residents' leisure InWests and recreational concerns. People: who responded chose parks ahead of public transit, fire protection, librar- ies, welfare and sewers as a public-service spending priority. Schools, police, streets and public health were ranked ahead of parks. (Highest of all, however, was the response of "none.") People are 1& favor of parks in the Twin Cities Area, and our regional and local system of parks is better than most," said Charles Smith, a Council parks planner who designed the survey. We're trying to provide a breadth of things, from more passive activities to 0 adventure sports," Smith said. "But in the case of the: regional system, visitor surveys show we're missing some seg- ments of the population.. We want to find out what they're interested in." VISITING, GOING OUT Of the 58 leisure activities listed in the survey, 90 percent or more of the people surveyed mentioned they're interested in visiting and talking with friends; going out (to eat, to movies, etc.); watching TV or listening to the radio or stereo; and reading. Only 11_ percent said they're interested in adventure sports such as skydiving, rock climbing and gliding. And less than 10 percent indicated an interest in racing, martial arts or playing hockey. Smith pointed out, however, that even 10 percent of the Region's adult popula- tion is a sizable number of people: 140,000. Continued on page 3. MMAT TWIN CITIANS LIKETO 00 in t10 k WAwo ticwr; welciv 434%l, vWfing (31%), wrow ns In%), rept kv (90%). r Leisure survey Continued from page 1.. Other results of the survey: 84 percent said they like to walk in their neighborhood, 78 percent in nat- ural areas. 75 percent said they're interested in shopping or browsing in stores. 51 percent like nonpower boating, canoeing or sailing, while 36 percent are interested in power boating, water- skiing or racing. 0, 64 percent like to attend sports events, while just 33 percent are inter- ested in playing team sports. 0 39 percent like to cross-country ski and 26 percent to downhill ski. The study also asked what kind of con- straints keep people from participating in the activities they like. Most commonly, people said they're too busy with responsibilities or with other free -time activities. Cost was mentioned third most often, followed by the dis- tance to facilities. Smith said that not having anyone to do things with also is becoming more of a constraint. Some activities, like tennis, require two or more people, and others are more fun when more people are around—such as picnicking and swim- ming. "With today's busy schedules, this can be a real constraint," Smith said. Bike paths, natural areas, fishing docks, beacheY 'and campgrounds were most. frequently cited as facilities the Region needs more of, although again the most frequent response was "nothing." A. fourth of the respondents said the Region has too many snowmobile trails.. To meet the increased costs of operating parks, people were strongly in favor of increasing user fees and less willing to support a tax increase or, reduction in park services.. Smith said Council planners will use the survey results in conjunction with a recent study of regional park -use pat- terns to determine how different areas and population groups would be best served by the park system. S'' 1 R K I-, L A\ C;; i i' 1, + The idea is that every park doesn't have to be everything for everybody," Smith said. "Perhaps a natural resource- based park is needed in one area and a more athletic -oriented park in another." Smith said he was pleased with the survey response but that the sample of 3,441 respondents slightly under- represented small, low-income, mobile households and minority groups, lie said the Council will conduct follow- up studies to see whether interests are being served in these population groups. The Metropolitan Council, with the Metropolitan Parks and Open Space Commiss',on, plans the regional park. system and awards grants for land pur- chase and park development. Ten cities, counties and special park districts own and operate the regional parks.

One of the children is hyperactive and is disruptive for the rest of the class., The mother has no co"stru,ctive suggestions on how the child's behavior can best be controlled. In view of our goal to serve all residents' 'recreational needs regardlessL of ability level; and our commitment to providing quality programs for all participants: how could this situation best be handled? Possible Itesponses No action taken, with the disr6ption allowed to continue. In view of concern, for the majority of participants, the hyperactive child could be denied, the right to participate. The child could be referred to our program for the mentally handicapped. The student/staff ratio is better, but the setting may be inappropriate for achild of normal or higher intelligence, A volunteer could be sought to supplement the instructor for that particular program. An aide could be hired to supplement the instructor. In that case, would the additional expense be passed on to the parent in question? A class for hyperact'Vve pre-schoolers could be offered with one or two students maximum per instructor, with the additional staff costs being met by higher class fees. If the parent is unwilling to admit the child has a problem, this would not be a viable solution. np d3( 0 h l I
