Commissioner Edwards called the November meeting of the Park and Recreation
Advisory Commission to order at 7:33 p.m.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES
A motion was made by Commissioner Reed and seconded by Commissioner Anderson
to approve the October minutes as presented. The motion carried.
3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS.
a. Athletic Associations. No representatives were present.
b. Staff. Rick Busch explained the enrollment charts for his programs
that had been distributed to PRAC members with -their packets. Team
sports enrollments continue to increase from year to year. Some of
the special events held at Plymouth playfields this past summer
included the 1985 Boys World Softball Tournament, and the Minnesota
Recreation and Park Association Co-Rec Softball Tournament. Currently
Rick is reviewing applications from warming house attendants. Rinks
are scheduled to open. December 21. Other winter programs starting soon
are broombafl, 5 -man and 3 -man basketball, power and unofficiated co-rec
voHeybail, 4 -man hockey a;sj whirfleball.
Mary Patterson discussed enrollments in her programs from January through
September. Fall figures are not available since most of those programs
are still in progress. A new program for winter is In the Heart of the
Beast °uppet Theatre's presentation of La Befana at Wayzata Senior High.
This program is being jointly sponsored by Plymouth Park and R -creation,
the Art Center of Minnesota and Wayzata Community Education. The
November/December issue of Plymouth on Parade was distributed to residents
in early November and the January/February issue will be out the week
between Christmas and New Year's. Skiing in Plymouth, sponsored by the
Plymouth Civic League, is scheduled for January 18.
Ruth Brown discussed the programs she is involved in which include
aquatics, wallyball, waterpolo, and special events for families and
children. She recently took over the supervision of the youth fall
soccer league which continues to have high enrollment. There were
only a few complaints regarding tears assignments this year. We've
been invited to participate again in 1986 in the TV11 Health Fair.
Because the 1985 Health Fair here at the City Center was only success-
ful due to high employee participation, we will not get involved in
1986. The second annual item;n Triathion is scheduled for February 8.
Some of the holiday programs Ruth is running include making a Ginger-
bread house, an event for -families Santa's mailbox and a Christmas
with Mother Goose, events for children. Ruth is also involved in a
New Year's Eve overnight party at Robbinsdale Community Center. This
program is being sponsored by MADD and SADD (Mother and Students Against
Drunk Driving)'. Ruth will be introducing some programming for single -
parent families in 1986, and also some programming for industrial

employees in Plymouth. Director Blank announced that the park and
recreation department has begun the initial planning for computerized
registration. We hope to start using it for our summer programs. He
also stated that we have begun thinking of some "unusual" revenue-
producing programs that PRAC can review in the future.
4. REPORT ON PAST COUNCIL ACTION
The Council recently approved the Parkers Lake budget, Brauer's contract
for Phase I development of Parkers Lake park, and tho CIP and 1986 budget.
5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. Parkers Lake Phased Construction Plan. George Watson of Brauer and
Associates was present to discuss the Phase I construction of Parkers
Lake park which will include the trail loop around the park, basic
grading, storm sewer, seed and sod, one picnic shelter, three comfort
stations (restrooms), entry signs, the road and parking area on the
south side of County Road 6, beach, underground utilities for the
bathhouse, artificial pond and fountain at the park entrance and
buffer plantings. At the present time, there is enough funding for
only one picnic shelter. If bids are reasonable, there may be enough
money to construct two or three. Commissioner Reed questioned the
necessity of the fountain and pond in Phase 1. Director Blank stated
that he felt it was necessary from an aesthetic/visual standpoint and
that it would help to "identify" our first City park. It's an unusual
feature that no other park in Plymouth has. Flowers will be planted
around the fountain, and it will help attract people to the park.
A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER BEACH AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
LATOUR TO APPROVE THE PHASE I CONSTRUCTION PLAN FOR PARKERS LAKE CITY
PARK AS PRESENTED BY GEORGE WATSON OF BRAUER AND ASSOCIATES, LTD. The
motion carried. Commissioner Reed asked to be sent some information
on •the fountain.
b. Neighborhood Park Improvements Update. Green Oaks park is basically
finished, with trails paved, playground equipment in, and re -sodded.
A bike rack is stili to be installed. At Circle park the playground'
equipment is in place but Is not cemented in, and sand is not installed
yet.
c. PRAC Education. It was suggested that PRAC training for new members
and new Council members should be sometime in January. This item
will be discussed again at the December meeting: PRAC encouraged the
Council to replace Betty Threinen as soon as possible.
6. NEW BUSINESS
a. Proposal for Wells Fargo Gamefield Grant -Fitness Court. Director
Blank reviewed PRAC's earlier action approving the submittal of a
grant for a fitness court to be installed in Zachary park. He
announced that we had received a grant in the amouni of $3,600 from
Wells Fargo Bank. The additional cost of $4,280 will be required
from park dedication's city playfield account. This fitness court
will be installed in the spring with the help of a community group.
The court will include a number of exercises -t•o help athletes prepare
for their activities at the park, as well as follow-up exercises which
are a cool -down process that should be completed prior to leaving
the park.

A MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LATOUR AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER
BEACH TO APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF A FITNESS COURT FOR ZACHARY PLAYFIELD
USING FUNDS FROM THE PARK DEDICATION CITY PLAYFIELD ACCOUNT TO COVER
THE BALANCE OF THE COST. The motion carried.
b. 1985 PRAC Annual Report. A draft copy of the 1985 annual report will
be available for the January meeting with the final report ready by
February 13. Commissioners should review their 1984 reprv's for changes
in style, content, etc. In December, commissioners shoo 6 .s prepared
to Fist their 1986 goals and objectives.
c. Lake Ridge Estates Plat. Director Blank briefly reviewed this new
plat which was recently submitted to the City. It is Located on the
northern border of Plymouth, west of 1-494, and includes most of the
shoreline around Mud Lake. Director Blank pointed out that this site
Is one of the two that was proposed for neighborhood park when the
comprehensive plan was first developed. The other alternative was
Pomerleau Lake, but it has become apparent that that site will not be
available to us. Therefore, it becomes very im;-irtant to consider
this site for park dedication from the developer. A MOTION WAS MADE
BY COMMISSIONER EDWARDS AND SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER LATOUR TO PRESERVE
AS PLATTED THE SHORELINE AROUND MUD LAKE WITH CONDITIONS THAT BECOME
APPROPRIATE AS PLAT IS REVISED FOR LAKE RIDGE ESTATES. The motion
carried..
7 COMMISSION PRESENTATION
Commissioners Edwards, Beach and LaTour will be attending some of -the
sessions of the Minnesota RecreationandPark Association's Annual
Conference in St. Paul, November 20-22.
8. STAFF COMMUNICATION
Director Blank briefly reported or) the National Recreation and Park
Association Congress which was held in Dallas in October. One of the
more interesting ideas he learned about while there was a White Amur
fish developed in China which eats lake weeds and algae. These -fish
are currently being used in 17 states in the U.S., but are illegal in
Minnesota. A written report on the White Amur fish will be sent to each
commissioner.
Councilmember Vasiliou was present at the PRAC meeting and spoke to the
commissioners reassuring them that she is not against parks and recreation.
She indicated that she is supportive of our programs and is very pleased
with our diversity. However, shp pointed out that Council's first respon-
sibility is to see that necessary services such as fire and police protec-
tion, sewer, streets, etc., are provided first. She stated she supports
acquiring land for parks through nark dedication only, but that -the City
must then maintain that land which does cost the taxpayer.

SUBJECT NEW REVENUE PRODUCING IDEAS
Attached is a list of possible ways that we can expand current revenues
by either modifying existing programs or implementing new programs. At
this time, these are simply brain -storming ideas that need to be developed
further. Before we spend too much time and effort on them, we would like
to get your general reaction to whether you feel these ideas have merit.
Two of the most controversial ones would be converting our beaches to pay
for swimming and the sale of beer at the Zachary P layfield.

SUBJECT 1985-86 PROJECT STATUS REPORT'
Listed on the attached graphic is the 1986-90 Capital Improvements
Program. At Thursday's meeting, I would like to have a brief review
of the 1986 projects so the Commission is fully aware of what each of
these projects may entail.. The most important project which needs
Playfield concession/ consideration at Thursday's meeting is the Zachary
restroom building. This facility is necessary to fully maximize the
utilization of the Zachary Playfield, Complex. It is my belief that we
need to proceed with a winter construction of this project, so that the
building is completed in time, to be used during the 1986 summer season.
I would., therefore, recommend that the Park and: Recreation Advisory
Commission recommend to the City Council that they authorize the director
of park and recreation to proceed with the necessary steps to implement
the construction of this facility.
I've also attached a list of the 1985 trail, work that was completed and.
was pot completed, as well as the. proposed 1986 trail work. The work
not completed in 1985 will be scheduled for completion in 1986 if at
all possible Decisions on the trail work won't be necessary until
March.or April.
I've also included a summary of the park dedication funds. We ttirrently
have cash on hand to cover all of the 1986 construction projects with a
fund balance left over.

I hove boon contacted by interested citis*ns in my area
concerning the possibility of the DNR stocking specific
lakes with wood eating fish presently b ne-used in dos*nn
of other states.
I understand that the fish can be purchased but do. not
spawn in our climate. Lakes that would have a need for
this type -=' stocking would have to be selected
consider*tir ' a number of various factors. I know that
many p*oplc in my area are interested in this type of

Because the Clear'Water white amur
will not reprodl * e in your pond or lake,
stocking can be carefully controlled,
guaranteeing that the amur will not over

Wildlife. In fact, it has been demonstrated
that the white amur enhances fishing
and game fish production. The white
amur does not eat other fish, does not
compete with game fish for food, and
does not muddy the water or cause
turbidity.
Plus, when you stock the white amur
to clean up your pond or lake, you safely
gain control over bothersome weeds
without the use of chemicals which
can endanger game fish, pollute val-
uable irrigation systems, or seep into
underground drinking water supplies.

by the U.S. Bureau of Sports
Fisheries in 19113 and placed at the
Government Fish Farming Experi-
mens Ststion in Stuttgart. Arkansas.
In 1961, the bureau decided to
discontinue its work with the fish,
the reason being that the American
Fisheries Society had brought to
light what they thought were poten-
tial hazards associated with the fish.
At this time all the fbh wart given
to the State of Arkansas and the
Arkansas Game & Fish Commission
immediately took the White Amur
under its wing,
Arkansas hails the White Amur,
which feeds heavily on veSmatior,
as a biological answer to aquatic
wood control, replacing chemi:tls.
It is also lauded as a rood fish and
a sport fish.
But many professional fisheries
outside Arkansas say the opposite,
some cautiously, others alnosi
violently. In the early stages of the
1 par of wN t tr11iP
White Amur and on through the
years there have been countless
pages written against the fish.
In 19, s, Arkansas stocked 12
million of these fish.

Being a fan of fly fishing with a

until 1%9 when the aquatic veletw
tion got so bad it fouled the electric
motor every few feet and the popp-
ing bug nearly every cast. On that
last trip i told the District Ranger 1
would not be back.
During the w dn# of 1975 the
District Ranger called and told me
he would like for me to take a loop
at Bar Creek Lake. Upon arrival at
the lake my wire and 1 were
astonished at seeing a beautiful
clear lake free of vegetation once.

aquatic vegetation.
Arkansas officials offer evidence
of the fish's desirability. They claim
the fish is easily controlled and ex-

WHAT CLEARWATER CUSTOMERS.
SAY ABOUT THE WHITE AMUR
I just wanted to report on the write amur we received from you last June.
You had told us that the pond wouid probably not be clear of moss before next
summer, but it is now totally free of mossy My father and uncle who have been
working with the pond, trying to get it to hold enough water to become a lake
for 30 years, are extremely happy thougih they say they still can't believe it even
though they have seen it with their own eyes:'
Mfrs. Shirley Deane
We purchased thirty of the white amur fish last October from you. Our pond
has approximately 113 surface acre feet of water The pond was grown solid
with underwater vegetation. We tried chemicals and dragging it out It just grew
back as fsst as we pulled `it out
The wv aie amur have complete y cleared our pond. It took approximately
six to seven months for them to do it
r. & Mrs. W. B Anderson
As you may recall, I introduced 30-amurs from your stock into rry lake in
July, 1981. At that time, the lake was covered over the entire bottom (excluding
the two deep -6 meter holes with a weed/grass, which in some places was
growing up and through the surface).
After this first year, the results are definite and remarkable! There are no
weeds penetrating the surface, and those which remain are being sheared into
the bottom. The areas where complete removal of weeds was manually per-
formed, have no regrowth and the bottom remains visibly clear of weeds or
grass in these areas
believe 90% to 100% of the initial stocking have survived
Again, the weed control is tremendous and I find our other fish population
and our frog herd to be thriving:'

My pond used to be so full of moss and weeds that it looked more like
a lawn than a pond Now it is clear, clean and beautiful.

Hydrilla is considered one of the most
problematic aquatic planr species within
Florida as evident by the amount of
money, time and effort spent annually
within the state on its control. Of the
nearly 1 million acres of surface water
presenI in lakes greater than 100 acres
surveyed in 1960 by the Bureau of
Aquatic Plant Research and Control,
Florida Department of Natural Re-
sources, only 3% were infested with hy-
drilia; even so $2,357,900.00 or an aver-
age of $187,64 per acne of hydrilla of
Federal revenue was spent during that
year. Since the distribution of 7,700
lakes (over 10 acres) within Florida is not
evenly distributed among its counties,
the cost of hydrills control in many Flor-
ida counties is sizable, For example, in
Orange County, its 67,000 acres of
freshwater (takes had a 10.3% infestation
of hydrilla in 1961 with the cost of trest-
ment of 5200,000.0 (5120,000.00 coun-
ty funds, 500,000.00 federal matching
funds). Of this amount, 55x was spent
for herbicide while the remaining
amount was for manpower, equipment
and rokmed costs. While the coo of hy-
drilla control from private individuals is
unknown, it would surely add a signifi-
cant amount to the overall cost of hy-
drilla control in Florida. Could expendi-
tures of private, county and federal
funds be reduced if grass carp were em-
ployed in hydrilla contrdl programs?
A three year study conducted at UCF
involving four central Florida lakes in
the Orlando area was funded in 1979 by
the Florida Department of Natural Re-
sources to address this question. The pri-
mary design of the study was to campart
grass carp (Clear Lake) to herbicide
Lake Mann) and to a grass carp/ herbi-
cide combination (Lake Orients and Lit-
tle Lake Fairview),- Grass carp were
stacked into Lake Oriente (i0 fish /acre)
at the start of the project (March, 1979).
Herbicide was applied to Little Lake.
Fairview during the second year of the
study. Gran carp were stocked Into
Clear Lake (23 Keli / acre) in March,
1900; the belrwins of tilt second year of
study, After a baseline year, herbicide
was applied to Lake Math between
April and Sepiemtber, 19W (1.s1 erns
treated) and again in 1901. Herbicide ap-
phcatkm was tndt by the Oranor
County Pollution Control Depwtumtt
in Little Lake Fairview and by OCPCD
and the City of Orh redo in Lace Morns
the funds were p6ed by lite Florida
Drlpartanem of N Rwommes. The
herbicides used were HydrnllW 191 and
Diquat with Cutrine. The herbicides
were applied using conventional meth-
ods of application and dosage rates in
order that Little Lake Fairview and Lake
Mann would represent lakes treated
chemically to control hydrilla. The grass
carp were removed from Little Lake Fair-,,
view during the second year (94%) in
October, 1960 and restocked with a
larger number of grass carp in March,
19e1, Little. Lake Barton 124 fish/ acre),
Little Lake Fairview (33 fish/acre) and
Lake Killarney (25 fish /acrr) were
stocked in March, 1961 at 20 fish / metric
ton -- fresh weight hydrilla. The Orange
County Pollution Control Department
and the Cake Killarney Homeowners
Association supplied the grass carp for
Little Lake Barton and Lake Killarney,
respectively, while the grass carp
locked into Little Lake Fairview were
supplied by the Florida Department of
Natural Resources. Thee lakes were not
treated with herbicide after the grass
carp were stocked,
The grass carp eliminated the hydrilla
in Lake Orients within 6 months. Hy -
drills biomass was suppressed, but not
eliminated in Little Lake Fairview by the
grass carp during the first year; elimina-
tion was not s.hieved with the grass
carp/ herbicide combination du6ig the
second year. in Clear Lake, the grass
carp eliminated the hydrilla in May,
1901, approximately 14 months after the
fish were stocked. The grass carp stocked
into Little Lake Barton, Little Lake Fair-
view and Lake Killarney eliminated the
hydrilla by October, 19th, a months
after the March, 1981 stocking.

The annual mean hydrilla biomass;
within Clear Lake for the baseline year
of 1979 was 150, metric tons fresh,
weW--a hydrilla. TFez annual mean bio-
mass for the treatment year was 771
metric tons, this represents a reduction
of 49% in hydrilla biomass or a rcdu.`-
tion of 729metric tons between the an-
nual mean metric tors of hydrilla for the
baseline year and the treatment (second)'
year. The coi t to achieve the reduction

ton fresh weight hydrilla (x,850.00 for
grass carp divided by 729 metric tons).
The cost per acre in Clear Lake was
150.00, Table 1. The annual cost of hy-
drilla control in Clear Lake per acre was
determined by dividing the Lost of the
fish by the number of years the fish were
in the lake, thus after two years the an-
nual cost was 573,00/ acre, after three
years, W.001 acre and so on. Since the

tends the annual Cost of treatment in
Clear Lake (grass carp) and Lake Mann
herbicide) over a 10 year period, the
average cost for Clear Lake is $5,065.00

The cost of the herbicide/gran, carp
combination was detemined usin, the

view. since no baseline data was avail
able for gears carp alone, the cost of the

of hydrilla reduction was determined
between 1979 and 1900, Table 1. In this
case, the cost of hydrilh; control was
S143.577 metric ton fresh weight by
drilla; a value substantially higher than
when grass, carp were used aloi-te, but
not significantly greater than the cost of
herbicide used without grass carp.

Per biomass in large lakes whet cost is a
vital concern since fish insufficiently
stocked to obtain control within two

more so, than herbicide. In small im-

over -stocked with little financial risk..
The average number' of grass carp

Dear Mrs. McKee:
I am in receipt of your letter dated November 5, 1985. I have passed along
copies of the letter to the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission, City
Council and City Manager. In the future as decisions are made with regard
to development of the Amhurst park site, I Will attempt to keep you informed.
Please feel free to attend any of the Park and Recreation Advisory Co"ission
meetings which are normally held on the second Thursday of eacli month. New
input is always welcome by the Commission and, myself. I appreciate you taking,
the time and interest: to send a letter indicating your support for a new park.
If you have any questions in the future, please do not hesitate to give me
a call at 559-2800 x 265.

Dear Eric
This letter is regarding the development of the neighborhood park
in the Amhurst and Tyrell communities. In our telephone conversation you
indicated the land aquisition for the site south of the 46th street ex-
tension 1s becoming complete. You suggested 1987 as a possible target
date for development of the park dependent on community interest and other
factors.
The commnity interest in the development of this park is very great in
the Amhurst neighborhood! There are large numbers of children with new
families moving in constantly. The desire for a playground area and
walking trails is very strong. A tennis court is ammother item of great
interest.
The usage of the park would be very high according to the expressed views
of the residents of this community. Virtually all of the people who
built or purchased homes in this neighborhood did so with the expectation
that a park and trail system were included in the neighborhood in which
they were choosing to live. Many people have been waiting each year since
1981 to see some progress toward that end.
Serely,
R to F. McKee
