4. REPMT ON PAST CCUWIL ACTICIN
Council authorized staff to go out for bids on the Parkers Lake Pavilion.
5. IR EUNISHED BUSINESS
a. Parkers Lake Eyi ign Review Bids. Director Blank reviewed for
the commissioners the bid results and indicated his disappointment
at how high they were. Architect Del Erickson stated that he spoke
to the contractors about why their bids were high, and he also
talked to contractors who did not bid. Their main reason for not
bidding was that they had work this time of year and simply did not
need the business. Director Blank and Mr. Erickson indicated that
one of the options available at this gime would be to have the
project re -bid in January, when the bidding climate is generally
better. There is a possibility that bids could crane in even lower
then. Areas where bids were higher than estimated include: site
work, general conditions, masonry, carpentry, mechanical and
electrical.
CoL.n.cAlman Sisk suggested doing the construction of the Pavilion in
phases, as was once discussed by PRAC earlier in the year. PRAC
indicated that was not practical now, because the building had been
redesigned, and the new design wasn't suitable for building in two
phases.

Based on Mr. Erickson's original estimate of $330,000 for the
building alone, it was Commissioner Feed's opinion that the Council
would never approve any of the bids received. He would bike to see
costs reduced in.an effort to get bacxc to the original estimate,
although he isn't. sure how or if that can be done. Mr. Erickson
stated that to reduce the costs by $80,000 would substantially
change the structure and design of the building.
Commissioner Rveen wanted to know who decides that the costs are too
much and who established the original budget of $380,000? Director
Blank stated that that was the early projection by the architect.
Director Blank had suggested that $180,000 be taken from park
dedication and the rest of the financing was to come from revenue
sharing. Councilman Sisk reminded PRAC though that the revenue
sharing money could'be.used for other City projects, too. It's not
necessarily promised to park and rc,:reation.
Director Blank indic+.ted that his recommendation at this time would
be:to reject all bids and redesign the project and then re -bid it in
January, when contractors are more likely to be looking For work.
Chair Edward asked Councilman Sisk if the Council realizes that
this building is more than a bathhouse, and if they understand just
how important it is to PRAC that the facility be ofgood quality?
She stated that Parkers Lake is our most visible park in Plymouth
seen by residents as well as people not living in Pllmauth who use
Co:mty Roed 6 on their way to and from work. She feels that the
pavilion should be just as unique as t`!e park. Other commissioners
agreed with. Chair Edward can this,. Councilmen Sisk responded that
the Council does realize that this facility is more than a
bathhouse. He also stated that he could tei' how strong PRAC feels
about this facility, buthe thinks PRAC deeds to be more verbal.
about their feelings with the rest of the Council. He urged PRAC
members to attend Council meetings more often to make their desires
known. He stated that they should nod always rely on Director Blank
to be their sole spokesman.
A M7tICN WAS MAM BY OC MISSICNR ROAN AND SECx'UM By OCMISSICNER
ANDERSON REO"INDING 7NAT ALL BIDS BE 'D AND THAT PRAC RE-
EVALUATE THE ALTERNATIVES. The motion carried with all ayes.
Director Blank pointed out to the ccnmissioners that in re-signing
this facility, they should keep in mind that the Council recently
approved a firestation to be built in Plymouth, and that the main
purpose of this facility is to keep firetrucks out of the snow and
Train. With the possibility that 30,000-50,000 Plymouth residents
will use the Parkers Luce Pavilion on a yearly basis, shouldn't it
also be built with a quality equal to the fire station?
1. 11&te Phase II Construction. The ornamental lights for
Parkers Lake Park have been shipped and are expected to be
installed by October 23, and the by-pass lane along County R01d
6 is almost completed.

Commissioner Roam wondered about the placement of the picnic
tables in this park. Director Blank responded that they have
been situated in the large open grassy area west of the
playground equipment, but that they are not anchoreddown in
any way. He indicated that he wanted it that way, so that
people could move them around to suit the size of their group.
b. Neighk&rbggd ParhamJWae. Director Blank indicated that
construction is 95% c+amplete on the three newest parks. Seeding and
sodding is finished at Rolling Hills and County Road, 61, with just a
small amount of sodding remaining to be done at AaOurst.
C. 1987 _Trail Projects [Iodate. Trails along Zachary Lane north of the
e1cvmtary school, and along Fernbrook Lanae from County Road 9 to
Road 6 are finished, and the trail, along Highway 101 :is 85%
cm,plete. Co issioner Rosen. tasked: 3.f the 101 trail would c -o as far
north as County Road24;. Director Blank stated that it goes to only
24th Avenue. He did indicate, that when PRAC begins stuaying the 89-
93 CTP, the issue of running that trail up to County Road 24 could
be discussed at that time.
d.. Lions Park Play Dau nmMt. Director Blank reviewed with the
Commissioners the request from the residents regarding the
installation of new -playground equipment in Lions Park. He stated
that he had met with Mrs Schmidt and Mrs. Bruzek and had shared
fear catalogs with them on various playgrc and pieces. lie also
indicated that several letters hadbeer, received from residents
offering their suggestions for which pieces to buy. Mrs, Bruzek was
present at the meeting and stated her prefere-:6ce for the Durascape
piece, which is geared primarily to pre-schoolers, with some
features for older children. Director Blank stated that he was
comfortable with the Durascape equipment, but that BigToy tends to
e a little less expensive. He also stated that the budget
established for this equipment was $10,0000 but that it could be
increased if the Lions Club is willing to contribute to the project
in 1988, Canniss overs then discussed,if it would be better to buy
two pied, one for:.` pre-schoolers and one for older children, or to
buy one large piece that would be suitable for several ages.
Director Blank responded that either choice was okay, but he pointed
out that the equipment isri t built for age levels, but rather for
different skill levels. After some discussion on who should make
the final decision on which pieces to purchase, it was the consensus
of MW, to let staff choose the equipment based on the suggestions
of the residents incl the opinions of the commissioners. Director
Blank said that he would keep in mind that the emphasis should be
primarily on pre -schoolchildren with some features for older
children also included. He will have a recommendation by the
November PW meeting. The equipment -would then be ordered in
January or February, with installation sometime in the spring of
1988.

e;RP sidam k an Trait Standards. Director Blank stated that the
City s engineering department has a book on the standards
established for streets, trails, sign poets, etc.., including a
standard design for sidewalks He reminded PRAC that this item was
referred to them by the City Council, and that they would like PRAC
to review our standard. Director .Blank pointed out to the
Commission that the City has no sidewalk plan, only a trail plan,
and that developers pat sidewalks in at their own choice. If
sidewalks are going to be installers in developments, they should all
be the same, width in order to avoid confusion. He further irklicated
that it is his rec amendation, as well as the rec talation of Fred
More. and Blair Tremere, that sidewalks be 5' in width in
residential areas and 6, in width in ecamercial areas, with trails
reiasining 8` in width. It was the general consensus of PRAC that
they do not wish to get involved in the ,planning of sidewalks, and
although.Director Blank understands that opinion, he .feels that as a
an advisory board to the city Council, they shculd snake a
recimmmdation on a 'sidewalk width standard.
COMMISSIONER REE AWM A MOTION TO RBO"END THAT SIDEWALKS BE

a, Ngiahborhood park gitina North Sglection. Director Blank
indicated: that a developer has come in with a plan for a residential
development north of County Road 9, east of Fernbrook Lane and Vest
of 2-494. This area has a lot of natural forest and marsh land, and
the developer agrees with DirectorBlankthat some of their site in
this even should be preserved as park. Director Blank reviewed an
aerial photograph of this area with PRAC and has chosen a
preliminary site for the neighborhood park, and will keep PRAC:
informed on its proposed location and size as further development
plans are forthcoming.
b, Petitics from Dis rict 284 Youth HoGkev, Tbe,City Manager has
received a petiticxi frcm residents involved with the District 284
Youth Hockey program, requesting that the City construct a ccmnunity
center with a facility for indoor hockey. Jt,is Director Blank`s
recc mendation that before PRAC proceed on this matter, they wait
until after the commmity attitude survey is completed which. is
scheduledfor this fall. He stated that theme attitude surveys are
done about every two years and have, in the past, included questions
on the ccmm,mity s desire for such a facility. Commissioner Bauman
asked if he would see a copy of the questionnaire being prepared.

councilman Sisk didn`'t knr-, if the current questionnaire would be
available to him, but he might be able to look at al previous survey.
Director Blank indicated that he would send Gcnmiss,oner Bauman a
copy of an earlier questionnaire.
C,. Mgt MWir rn rake Drive Trail St&W from Strvar-Director
Blank stated that this was going to be a very large issue to
research, because cost estimates range anywhere from $275,000 to
1.6 million. He suggested that FRAC should incorporate the:
planning for this trail into their, 1989-93 CIP. Commissioner Reed
asked if the trail, along Vit Medicine rake Drive could be divided
into segmits rather than being done all at once, and if so, could
the portion on the north end of wmt Medicine;Lake Drive be done
first? Director Blank resperxied that it could be done that way.
Chair EAerds asked if this item will be on future agendas, and
Director Bunk indicated that it will appear on all agendas unt?l
the trail is decided on definitely,

stated that the City Manager, Mayor Schneider and he would be
visiting with Merilee,Riley sometime during the week of October 19
to review with her the concerns raised by the Heritage Homeowners
Association regarding this park.
e. Tamino of 1988 Work Plan. Director Blank stated that the St. Mary s
neighborhood perk is proposed ,for construction in 1988 and that in
order to follow a timely schedule, 'the design consultant should be
hired in Dec er, with neighborhood m-etings scheduled fcr Januar!
7.. COMMISSION MENTATION
Chair Edwards mentioned that she did not find anything in the annual MPA
f conference: schedule specifically -,)r board and commission meters to
attend. Director Blank said t1W, he had 'been so busy, he hadnt had a
chance to look at the schedule himself, out that the Annual Conferences
was in progress and. was hoeing held at the North Hennepin Community
College. It is scheduled to conclude on Friday, October 16.
Commissioner Rosen indicated that h felt very strongly about PRAC
members attending City Council; meetings in the future whenever any item
on their agenda deals with park and recreation issues. Director Blank.
responded that he and Chair Edwards have discussed this and concur with
Commissioner Root.

SUBJECT. PARK USAGE AND COST SUZY RE7M
As part of the 1,988 City Manager's goals and objectives, I was responsible for
preparing a park usage and cost.study report for the City Manager: This
report was presented to the City Manager and the City Council at a Council
meeting on October 26th. Upon review of the contents of the report, the City
Council has sent the report to the Park<and Recreation Advisory Commission for
review and possible action. I have attached for your information the minutes
of the Council meeting regarding this item.
It is my understanding that the City Council would like the Park and
Recreation Advisory Commission in early 1988 to look at any possible cost
saving measures or revenue enhancing measures which could be undertaken during
1988 or subsequent years. The Commission could consider any number of
possible alternatives including additional user fees.for youth athletic
associations,
The Council saecifically asked that the Commission conduct some type of public
information meetings in January, February and March to gather additional
information on such a proposal.

TO: James G. Willis, City MwvWr
FROM: FXIC J. Blank, Director of Parks and Recreation
SUBJECT: REVIEW OF PARK. USAGE AND MAINTfl9 XM LEVELS
As part of the 1987 Performarm Standards and Measures for the City Manager I
have been asked to prepare a review of the appropriate park usage and current
parr maintenance levels for our park system. In the following pages, I have
attempted to review for you and. the Council:, the following items;
Cur current park system plan, which identifies our park standards and
park usage philosophy.
A. summary review of the Task Force Report on Park and Recreatia'I
Financing for Facilities and Program.
The growth in the park system in; terms of acres, programs, and other
information since 1980:
Park maintenance costs for neighborhood parks, camwnity playfields, city
parks, and costs per facility such as: ice skating, soccer, softball,
etc.,
After you have had a chance to review this document, I would be happy to meet
with you: and further review and analyze the information that I have provided
here.
In 1984, the City Council charged the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission
with the task of preparing a ccoprehensive park system plan for the City of
Plymouth. After a Mr and a half' in the development process, this plan was
adopted by the City Council in February of 1982. Contained within this plan,
is the philosophy, rationale and procedures by which the City of Plymouth has
chosen to acquire,developand maintain a variety of park facilities.
Inherent in developing this document was the process of developing a variety
of stan3ards that the City should strive to obtain. As an example, standards
for neighborhood parks were;
ora:: park per neighborhood
2.5 to 3.5 developed acres per 1,000 population
five to 21 acres in size.
For community playfields, the standards developed were;
one playfield per c c m unity
2.5 developed acres per 1,000 population
20 to 65 acres in size.
For city parks, the standards developed were;
four to five parks disbursed throughout the City, with a 20 acre
minimum or large enough. to encompass and protect a natural resource.
The Park System was also reviewed for what we refer to as its "functional
standards." The integrity and flexibility of the entire park system can be
monitored through the use of the following functional classifications. There
9s no one "correct" mix of functional components, but it is nevertheless
imperative that each component be represented within the system in order that.
the system can be balanced and that it demonstrates its long-term viability.
The five functional classifications are;
QXM2rvaticn - the preservation of significant natural amenities such
as lakes, creeks, wetlands, prairies, woodlands, unique and
significant iandforms, vegetative comaunities and views, flood plains,
etc. Conservation, in this sense, means protection frari destruction
by all forms of urban encroachment.
the decorative, aesthetic aspect of the park system.
ornamentation is usually provided through the development and
maintenance of natural amenities, either formally or informally.
Q lt= - refers primarily to the non -recreational programming of the
parks and, as such, usually represents a small percentage of land
area, though freq%mtly a large part of programming. Culture
encompasses historicall places, public amphitheaters, museums,
educational programs and so on.
MtiW - includea participatory activities, active and passive,
intensive and extensive, for all age groups in the community. unity.
R—n— - perhaps the most important, yet most frequently overlooked
function of a park system is its reserve --its ability to expand and be
flexible in the face of future growth and development, as well as
changing recreation demands and opportunities.
At this time, the two arems that we would appear to be the weakest in are
ornamentation and cultural facilities. The fountains and featured gardens at
Parkers Lake are our first attempt to promote these areas within our park
system.
The rAxt phase of the development plan was to review the Plymouth corm mities.
A study was done of the population, household size, employment growth, and
other trends by walking neighborhoods and driving neighborhoods. Population
by neighborhoods was the driving factor creating the demand for acres of
neighborhood park and conmunity playfields. Facility standards were also
analyzed. In this process, we are able to c "re ourselves now and in the
future. to national norms with regard to the number of, tennis courts per 1,000
people, the number of softball fields per 1,000 people, the number of
baseball/softball fields per 1,000 people, etc..
The next part of our development process was a park needs analysis. The park
needs analysis for neighborhood parks: is also included in the appendix of this
report. Within the park needs analysis, we looked at the ultimate population
of each neighborhood, the existing park acres within that neighborhood,
con"red that to our standard of 2.5-3.5 acres per 1,000 people and were able
to determine which neighborhoods at that time had a deficiency in park
acreage` This allowed us to set =p a plan by which parks would be acquired in
future years. This has continued to be the guiding force in our annual
development of the capital improvement program..
The next step in the process was perhaps the most important. This was the
future park identification phase. In this phase, the consultant, was charged.
with the reepcnsibility of locating within the community a variety of options
that would: meet, the standardsfor the various park types that had been set out
earlier in the report. Each site was compared against other sites in. its
ability to provide the ccigx rents that would allow each park to function
properly in providing the desired experiences to the park visitor. So=mme of
the items that were numerically scored in ranking these facilities were:
location within the walking or driving neighborhood
relationship to the thoroughfare guide plan
vegetation
surface water conditions
existing ownership and use
adjacent proposed land use
proximity of se,.er and water
wetlands and soil conditions.
Each of these factors has a different importance to each different type of
park For example, a central location is much more important to a neighborhood
park that people walk to than it is to a playfield to which most people may
drive. It was this type of analysis that allowed the Park Oa mission and
planners to take the prototype standard of a neighborhood park and oonpare it
to specific sites in the field throughout the community. The end result is
what we know today as the comprehensive park system plan; a detailed mapping
of all future park sites to be acquired by the City of Plymouth.:
The final part. of the park:: system plan was the setting of priorities based on
the current demand s determined by populations within neighborhoods.
Included in the appendix are the priorities developed in the 1982 plan and an
analysis of the perk acquisition that has taken place between 1982 and 1986 to
mmt the priorities that had been established.
Next. I will touch very briefly on the results of the Task Force on Park and.
Recreation Program Financing. In January of 1982, the Mayor and City Council
charged a task force to study and report on the guiding philosophies that
would be used in preparing future financial programa; as they relate to the
park and recreation component of the City budget. Jim Rice, Chairman of the
Park and Recreation Advisory Commission at that time, was chosen to chair this
task force. On May 2, 1993, the City Council. passed a resolution endorsing
the findings and concepts as developed by the Task, Force. This resolution is
also included in the appLv4ix of this report. The findings of the task force
are contained for the most.part within the five major funding philosophy
statements that they prepared as part of the report. These funding statements
as taken from the report are.-
A.
re:
A. Research and Planning
The majority of all research and planning should be underwritten by
tax -supported resources. This deals with the long-range planning
for the total park and recreation system.
B. Construction of Facilities
The City shall use- endowments, grants, gifts, etc., whenever
possible to underwrite facility construction.: When these sources
of fends are not available, the taxpapr should underwrite the
capital cats of such facilities. New construction should inch
a forecast of operating costs no construction should start until
the City has agreed to pay the operating costs.
C. Maintenance of Facilities
The City's financial resources shall be used to maintain the basic
level of maintenance necessary to maintain in a reasonable manner,
all parks and recreational facilities within the system. We
believe that the everyday,` ongoing maintenance, e.g., mowing the
grass, is inherent with the City-owrship of any and all parks and
should not be cost -associated with special user groups. user
groups shall pay the majority of costs necessary to cover extra-
ordinary maintenance associated with their group's use of special
facilities.
D. Development of programs
Because recreation is important to all segments of our population
including Ow young, old, gifted and handicapped; the taxpayer
should underwrite the cost of the research and development of
program to meet the needs of all segments of the amity.
E. Operation of Program
Program participants should pay the direct costs and some
administrative costs &ssociated with participating in any given
activity. Special consideration will be given to underwriting some
costs for the mentally and physically hardicapped and elderly
populations.
In preparing our annual City budgets and the capital improvement budget, we
have tried to prepare our finau-rcial programs based on these five funding
philosophy statements. cne example of this is the fee policy we have that
requires the Wayzata Youth Soccer Association to pay approximately a $1,000
user fee for the rental of our soccer facilities during their annual
invitational soccer tournament. The Association on the other hand does not
pay a rental fee for our facilities for their in-house soccer program which is
gcaerecd toward the basic Plymouth youth recreational pa.ticipanto ;Another
example is the fees charged for adult softball participation which includes
coats associated with field maintenance and energy costs for night play.
Ther. type of management practices directly resulted from the philosophies put
forth in the Task: force report.
The next area that needs to be reviewed in this r rt is the subject of
growth, Growth within the City of Plymouth has been driving us in two ways.
First, new people :have created a depend for additional neighborhood parks
throughout the comnulitye In the, last seven years, the City has mealy
developed neighborhood parks at Timber Shores, Mission, Schmidt bake, Rolling
Hills, Amturat, County Road 61, and Maple Creek. our total park acreage has
increased from approximately 275 acres to approximately 600 acres between 1980
and 1987..our city population has increased 130% frcai 1980 to 1986. A
dramatic increase has occurred in the number of participants in programs
during the same time frame. Increases in our program participation far
exceeded the rate of population growth &&ring the last six years. Listed
below is,a 9", ary of sane of this participation growth.
IM 1
r of programs 121: 779 461% increase
Pa:t.icipation in fee supported 4,132 17,443 422% increase
general recreation program
Adult team sports 137 492 352% increase
Individual sports 11322: 1,664 126% increase
Use of playfields (1981) 1,021 3,197 313% increase
Population 31,615, 41,207 130 increase
These figures do not include Wayzata Recreation programs provided on
a contractual basis in 1,,986 & 1987.)
Of the figures above, the most .important statistic to this review is the 300%
increase in the use of tl* community playfields. The. jump from 1,000 games
per year to over 3,000 games per Year is a direct result of the increasing
program demands not only by adult athletics, but mare likely from the various
youth athletic associations that continue to grow and expand programs within
our City. As people beck more wellness conscious, we will, see more people
staying active later ih their lives. The young soccer player of today will
wait to participate its adult leagues as they 9et older.
Later in this report you will see the hours associated with maintaining
individual sport facillties. Had we not developed an appropriate community
playfield system, the neighborhood park system would have seen a dramatic
increase in. inappropriate uses and a much higher maintenance cost associated'
with that usage. Problem 'with parking, noise, trash, etc., would be very
ccolmn,
i
Rick Busch, of our staff is assigned the responsibility of working with the
youth athletic associations and our adult sports program. It is his job to
attempt to balance the needs of the users versus the ability of the playfields
to withstandextremely heavy user occasions. we have in the past said "no,"
and we will say "no" in the future when it is necessary. The continued growth
of all of our sports user groups will be ore of the most important determining
factors on the timing of the development of the: Hass bake and Parkers Lake
cc m mitt' playfields.
Without a doubt, the most startling figure within the Park and Recreation
budget has bow the dramatic increase in the park maintenance budget, which
was $256,810 in 1981 and is projected to be $796,200 in 1988. Our highly
maintained acres have increased from about 100 acres to about 350 acres
between 1981 and 1987.Luring this time we also have added.four additional
year-round shelters, for a total of 5. The park maintenance division will
have grown frau five full-time employees in 1881 to 10` full-time employees in
1988.. Cur pert -time or seasonal work.for us has also increased from
approximately 7,000 hours to 14,500 hours annually during this same time
period.
Since 1984, the park maintenance division has had available a computer on
which all of our maintenance time care could be entered. Based on an
analysis of the last three years, we have estimated that average maintenance
hours per acre for neighborhood.parks is approximately 41 hours per acre per
year. she average time for our beach facilities is between 80 and 90 hours
per acre per year. The average time for commmity playfields appears to be
between 80 and 83 hours per acre per year.
Themajor items of the maintenance program for the neighborhood park system
lied. in four areas. (This example is Green Oaks Park excluding new
construction.)

75%
Other components of our neighborhood park maintenance work make up the
remaining 25% of the annual cost.. Examples of this are: fertilizing,
broadleaf weed control, signage, tree planting, trail maintenance and repair,
etc. We have designed, our new neighborhood parks in an effort to keep park
maintenance costs down. The three new parka developed in 1987 total 45..8
acres in size. of this amount, 9.13 acres or 20% will be high maintenance or
mowed area. The remaining 36.67 acres or 80% will be very low maintenance,
natural area.
Attached in the appendix is a detailed end of year summary for 1986 showing
costs for the various parks within the City. Tasted below is a summary report
of a review of the Park maintenance hours for neighborhood parks, beaches and
playfiel,ds for the year 1986 along with a sum ary .report for the years 1984
and 1985.

nese figures do not include any "new construction hours.
The park maintenanoe work associated with the oomnn ty playfields is much
broader and more time cavo ng than the maintenance required for neighborhood
parks. Items stch as irrigation maintenanoe, building cleaning and repair,
line painting, infield maintenance, top dressing, and seeding and sodding add
to our other maintenanoe areas to, in effect, double the average hour per acre
cost for community playfields. The most time consuming are:
mowing/trimm ng 12%
line painting 8%
seed/sWrepair 9%
building/repair/maint. 6%
rink maintenance 16%
irrigation 4%
garbage 51
60%
One should remember that the average neighborhood park runs between two and
approximately 13 acres in size. The community playfields on the other hand
run between 17 and 33 acres in size. This factor alone dictates by their very
size that they will require more work per site each year. Contract
maintenaime cn such things as plumbing, electrical, irrigation and lighting
are not reflected in these hour per acre costs. The special nature of these
systems requires either special training or special equipment that at this
time is not practical for the City to provide on an in-house basis.
In an effort to quantify our overall maintenanoe effort, I'would suggest that
on a scale of 1 through 5 our overall. ranking perhaps could be rated as a 4-.
While there are some areas such as trimming, weeding and misoeilaneous repairs
where we could improve, there are other areas such as field dragging and
lining, snow plowing and rink flooding where our level of service could be
somewhat decreased'. One means of gauging the st=ess of the maintenance
service provided would be feedback from the conmxunity. During the last five
years, we have received high marks from both the community survey .instrument
and from the athletic associations and the adult sports community. in 1979
and 1980, the City was being critic zed for poor maintenance on many of its
facilities. At the time of my hire, it was made clear to me that part of my
responsibility was to make improven-ants in this area in an effort to turn
around the perception of the community of our poor maintenance. Hopefully, we
have been able to meet this goal.
Just as notr all parka are created equal, not all athletic fields are created
equal. Some programer by their very nature require more sophistication and
more maintenance than other programs. Outlined below are our best estimates
of the amual cost for the maintenance on one hockey rink, one softball field,
and one wooer/football field. Because our recording system is based on hours
worked on projects by site, Mark has had to estimate as best he can some of
the hours associated with each of these cost estimates by facility.

In our Estimation, one of the beat things we have going for us with regard to
cur park meintermu a is the fact that we have very few soocer/football fields
laid over softball/baseball fields. Wp currently maintain 18
softball/baseball fields and 11 poocer fields. Of this amount, only three
sites have a eoocer/'football laying over the top of the softball/baseball
field. We are also fortunate in nwt cases we do not have pleasure skating
rinks laid out on top of any of our athletic surfaces. Whenever you try and
maintain ice rinks on top of grass surfaces, you end up with weeds. This
would necessitate a total renovation and reseeding project every spring in
those areas. Klaprich Field. in Wayzata is a classic a aMle of this. Because
their entire surface is flooded in the winter time; during the summer months
they do not have an adequate turf surface to play field games on. As we build
other facilities in the future, these are items we will keep in,mind, so we
are sure we have the easiest, maintainable surface. Because of the high
expense of maintaining soccer/football fields, we are researching the capital
its associated with using an artificial turf surface to determine if, in the
long rum, there would be a cost savings over our grass surfaced areas. We
have a new soccer field at Plymouth Creek in the capital improvement budget
for 1988. our analysis of this life cycle cast will be prepared in
conjunction with that project.
Ufm
In conclusion, what we have tried. to ao=Tli.sh as our overall philosophy can
be summarized as such:
A. Build the appropriate facilities in the appropriate locations to meet
the need in that population or attendance area.
B. Design the facilities in such a manmr that they can be maintained in
a reasonable fashion based on appropriate use.
In new parks, create: the smallest, possible areas that will require
high maintenance.
C. provide safe, attractive facilities to the public that present a good
image for the City of Plymouth. Because wet athletic turfs are most
susceptible to damage, we closely monitor all of our facilities for
the necessity of cancelling games in order to protect the surface.
D. Make the necessary repairs and maintenance to our facilities as
quickly as possible, so that unsafe conditions are corrected and
further deterioration, and a poor public image is not created.
Finally, we must continue to provide motivation and training to our
maintenance division so that they can most effectively and efficiently carry
out their duties and responsibilities in these areas. with a continuing
spirit of cooperation and understanding between the City Council, Park and
Recreation Advisory Commission and our user groups, 1 am confident that we can
continue to provide safe, clean, and fun recreational experiences to the
citizens of Plymouth.

as being wise from a cost standpoint.
Mayor Schneider stated there is a legal reason to give room for
bikes to pass.
Director Moore stated 8 ft. Is the minimum standard recommended
for a two way bike trail.
Director Blank stated' the issue is whether to prohibit bikes
from sidewalks. The system of removing bikes from sidewalks is
a factor of the amount of traffic on a street. Sidewalks should
be used primarily for walkers and bikers belong on the street.
Because cars don't typically park on the streets, bikers are
relatively safe.
Discussion followed on which streets are considered residential
and the difference between sidewalks and trails.
Director Moore stated each area of the City will be different as
residents view what it Is safe for them to do.
Director Tremere stated, with the exception of the 6 ft. stan-
dard In downtown Plymouth, the standard is 5 ft. for sidewalks
and 8 ft. for trails. He doesn't believe there Is a downside to
keeping those standards.
Manager Willis stated the function of a trail is one thing If
the intent is for pedestrians and another If it is for a bike.

SUBJECT; pA0M LAKE ;PAVILICIV
In oorv-urrence with PRAC''s reoam enation, the City Council officially re-
jected all bids for the Parkers Lake Pavilion. C)amissioners Edwards and
Rosen were present at the Council meeting when this action was taken. Chair-
man Edwards indicated to the City Council, that the staff and commission would
be re-evaluating this building proposal and bringing, it Lack to the City
Council, at theappropriate time. As we begin this re-evaluation process, I
believe it is imorant that we consider the following three issues:
1. What the need of the amity are at this time with regard to park
and recreation facilities. I have attached a memo from Mary
Patterson, Superintendent of Recreation, which addresses the issue of
our current program :spaice constraints.
2 If we proceed with the building project, Vhat is the quality of the
project that the community expects, deserves, and the commission
feels is necessary
3. Haw much are you willing to pay for this quality and quantity? What
effect will this project have on the other projects the Commission
has currently included in their five year capital improvement budget?
Attached to this report is a copy of the CIP for the years 1988-92.
My belief with issue no.. 1 is that it is the City's obligation to:
1. Acquire park land as.necessary to assure that the: property is secured
prior to development. I believe we have adequately addressed this
issue in that we own the next two communityity playfield situ that will
need to be developed, and we are progressing with the acquisition of
two or three neighborhood park sites that will be developed during
the next five years.
2. Develop neighborhood park sites on an on-going basis to keep up with
current development trends:
3. Develop indoor recreational space to be used for a number of recre-
ational programs. A multi, -purpose room within the Parkers Lake
Pavilion, in, my mind', starts to meet this kind of facility need. As
a sidenote, I would suggest that if the Wayzata School District is
currently proposing the construction of two new elementary schools
within the City of Plymouth, I believe it is important that we cum-
Parkers take Pavilion
Page; 2
municate with them that the design incorporate features that would
allow for easy public acres for recreation programa. SSuch things as
the right size gymnasium, multi purpose erocx,; exit doors, etc.,
would' be important in this type of facility design.
The issue of quality is more of a subjective nature. I believe it was the
intent of the Park Commission to strive for a high, level of quality that would
reduce the long-term need for maintenance and repairs of the structure:. Com
missiorver Rosen also noted that because of the high qual.it.y, of the park
grounds, he felt it was appropriate that any structure built there should be
of a high quality to ocupliment the turn of the century theme we've developed
with the stone bridge, lighting, etc:. The park maintenance division has
strongly supported the concept of using as much brick and hard surfaces as
possible throughout the structure.
A9,1 mentioned at the last Park Commission meting, the new fire station will
use only high duality materials. I believe that this structure deserves the
same duality we build into our fire stations, city halls, etc::
How much are we willing to pay for this facility? This is the issue I think
we need to discuss, specifically, with the architect, Del Erickson. Dei and S
have met a couple of
tki um on this subject since our last Commission meet Ing,
and I have attached for your review`a document he has put together outlining
possible changes that could be made to the structure to facilitate cost
reductions. In my meetings with Mr. Erickson, I have stressed to him that I
r did not feel it was appropriate at this time to down size the main facility
structure in that it was such a small size to begin with. it may lose much of
its usefulness if we attenpt to cut the square footage. we, therefore,
directed our attention to thopoe items that could be changed but would not
affect the functional. use of 4,,1-.a, building, nor greatly increase the operating
cost of the structure. I believe, based on the information that Mr. E icks-M
has supplied us, that we will be in a position to recommend to rebid this
project in a January/February time frame that would allow us to secure the
lowest poeeible bid for this structure. The Commission must address the issue
of whether or not they're willing to recaimmd t1v expenditure of that anount,
vl wtever it may be. I should also add that we have not reviewed the poasibil
ity of trying toconstruct the facility in phases. We believe this would
simply add to the overall cost of the facility and would really serve no pur--
pose in the long run,

FROM; Mary Patterson, Superintendent of Recreation 7 I
SUBJECT: PROGW SPACE CC[MRAINIS
Wayzata District 284 currently uses all elementary school cafeterias directly
after school for the. Home Base Program. in previous years four of these
cafeterias were used for ,after-school activities on various days. Those
activities. are now being held in elementary gyms, howeuer, there is always a
conflict with youth basketball from November through March. In some cam,
this has been overcome by moving a program from the gymnasium to the cafeteria
after 6:00 when Hare Base closes.
Also this fall, elementary schools have changed their guidelines on starting
times for outside programa. programa can no longer start 15 minutes after the
close of school, but now must wait a minimum one -.half hour. This means that
children can no longer stay after school and go directly to a program that we
offer, but must go home and then return at the starting time for the class.
In previous years, we have not used any schools outside the boundaries of the
City of Plymouth. More recently, because of space constraints, we have begun
using Widsten Elementary and Wayzata West Junior High in the city of Wayzata.
Moet of the programa that have been moved to these locations have boon moved
because of additional time conflicts at Greenwood or Oakwood Elementary
Schools. Greenwood Elementary in particular holds so merry school related
activities that it beoa, very difficult to hold.a program consistently on
the same day of the week
Because of sckdtol closings and other demands on school space, District 281
Coma mitt' Education has begun to use their priority to move into time slots at
Pilgrim Lane Elementary.
Zachary Lane Elementary is also very tight in space, partly because other
communities have scheduled space for their use.
It has been the policy of both school district 281 and 284 to not allow use of
the senior high schools for park and recreation programa on a consistent
basis, because of conflicts with after school activities. The exception to
this rule has been our gymnastics program on.Saturdays at Wayzata Senior
High, the karate program in the wrestling room on Tuesday and Thursday
evenings from 5:30-6;30 and our use of one classroom at the senior high school
for either youth drama or magic. There has been some discussion with both
school districts to try to loosen this policy to allow at least some more
consistent use of senior high school space.
As you also know, summer indoor classroom apace is extremely tight; with r+c3
space available after 3:30 in District 281, and only Wayzata Senior High
available for ming use in District 284. Daytime space in both districts is
also somewhat limited because of summer cleaning schedules and summer school..
We haVe also used some somewhat less conventional spaces for recreation
programa. The senior citizen programa have been able to use free of char9e
the Wbet;Medicine Lake Community Club, St. Mary's of the Lake Church, and
Messiah Methodist Church. Vision of Glory Lutheran Church, St. Phillip the
Deacon Lutheran Church, and Redeemer Lutheran Church are all rented on a
regular basis for recreation activities. St. Phillip the Deacon has cut back
the space available for our programs by two days a week for specific time
slots. Peace Lutheran Church and the Churchofthe EpiVmy have also been
ueed'on a short term basis .for recreation, programa. City facilities at fire
station ##2 and the City Center have been used for meetings or to fill in when
other spaces have not been available. Meeting space at the City Center is
also in high demand, and at times booked solid.
West Medicine Lake Ccemmity Club has been considered as a space for several
different programs. Unfortunately, its sanswhat gloomy deoor aril the :stale
odor of cigarette smoke makes it som=ewhat undesirable as a location. All of
the church locations mentioned do charge a rental fee, some of which have been
prohibitive. A number of other church locations have been contacted about
possible space rental. Many of them are not available because of heavy use
for their own programa, or a hesitancy to have outside groups use their space.
Rental fees for there church location vary from $10 an hour to $25 an hour,
or in sane casee, 20% of class fees charged. Moat of our use of church
facilities has been concentrated to daytime hours when church staff is avail-
able to open the building. Some church locations have been willing to allow
oocasicnal evening use but they find it inconvenient to provide the staff
r ee+ded to secure their building.
In discussions with cammianity education staff and other community facility
users, it is very apparent that there is a great deal of competition for space
and very little, if any, new space; available for programming. We have found
that on the contrary, in many locations the space available is being reduced
because of school.: or church. related demands.

Rebid.and Cost Reduction
Based can the bids received, which ranged from $412,600to $538,089 and
the bidding period for fall construction, it appears that a lower cost
may be passible by rebidding the project in January for spring/summer
construction.
To establish anew budget: we have used the low bid figure of $412,600
and: deducted the alternates which would be recommended and the contractor
proposed reductions as follows:
Base Bid - $412,600
Alternates 26,450
Reductions - 18,E
Net Bid $368,150
This figure was approximately 10% over our previous estimate.
If we rebid project the low bid may be higher, however, other bidders
will be lower and we can take: advantage of other reductions in quality
and scope of project as follows
Proposed. changes to bid documents and related cost estimate:
Div. 1 General Conditions $50000 $15,000

Deducting this amount from a figure: of the average between
the first and second bidder results in a net figure of - $355,500
490,469 + 412,600 : 2 = 451,500
Bid results in January less 5% $ 15,500
Net Budget figure $340,000
Area of building of 3,440 at $100 per s.f. $344,000
Additional cost item to consider is the use of a concrete
slab on grade with a block retaining wall in lieu of the
wood sun deck for a potential savings of $ 10,000
The add alternates for picnic shelters would be approximately
the same as previous estimates as follcws
Small shelter - $14,000
Large shelter - 33,000
The wood deck and clocks would not be considered at this time..
After review of the foregoing and decisions on changes to documents we
would. propose issuing for rebid in January with contractor spring start
and fall completion.. This will reduce usability of beach area and increase
concern for liability at construction site.

I believe it is neoessary for the Commission to make a reccamwwdation to the
council if they wish to proceed during 1988 with.the St. Mary of the Lake
neighborhood park and the soccer field at Plymouth Creek. '.These two items
need.to be presented to the City Council for approval, so that we may begin
the process of selecting consultants to work on these projects.
If a neighborhood park is going to be built in 1988, we need to have the
neighborhood information meetings. during January and February, so that we can
get out with a bid package early enough in the year to be attractive. The
same thing.will be necessary for the design and construction of a soccer field.
so that we may have this facility available to us by the fall of 1988.
I would recommend we down in-house feasibility study and cost estimate for
the construction of a natural turf soccer field and an artificial turf socoar
field. A cost analysis would be prepared to show both the capital cost and.
the long-term operating cost of theme two Facilities. This would be brought
back before the Commission and the City Council: with a recommendationendation as to
which type of facility would be appropriate for us to consider.

Since our last meeting, I have spent a number of hours reviewing possible
pieces of play equipment, including reviewing with our park maintenance
division their thcxhts with regard to the various manufacturers. I have gone.
to Crystal to review the new playground equiprrnt that GameTime has supplied
at Becker Park. I also reviewed the results of the qurvey which showed that.
the citizens were most interested .n the following item:
spiral. slide
creative climbing; apparatus
rope walk.
tire swing
tube slide,
Wehave been verbally told by the other residents we discussed this with that
they would like the addition of springed animals andsand diggers.. Therefore,
it is my recommendation that we select a BigToy P5-12AB pre-schooliece forp
Lions Park to meet the needs of pre-school children, and that we Select a
Bi.giby Pfd -37 with the substitute of a tube slide for the normal, slide for the
elementary age children. We would also use a.free standing spiral slide from
Miracle Playground Equipment, ohne sand digger arx one springed animal. All of
this can be purchased for approximately $9,400. A combination of these two
pieoee gives us all of the pieces as requested by the survey. For ease of
installation and long term meinterAncethis is the choice of our parks
maintenance division
If the commission concurs with this recommendation, a motion would be in order
to recommendmend to the city Cotxncil that we proceed with these purchases and the
installation in the spring of 1988 at Lion Park.
