EQUIRIM. The motion carried with all ayes.
b. Parkers Lake Pavilion. (The building architect, Del Erickson failed
to appear at this meeting.) Director Blank reviewed the staff report
he: sent to PRAC and discussed the following issues
1) What are the needs of the camunity at this time with regard to
park and frecreation facilities?
2) What its the the, quality of the pavilion that the cam unity
expects, deserves and the Commission feels is necessary?
3) What is the Coitmission willing to pay for this quality and
quantity and what effect will this project have on other projects
that are currently included in the five year CIP?'
Director Blank feels it is the City`s need at this time to-.
first, acquire undeveloped park lana as necessary
second, develop neighborhood park sites on an on --going basis to
keep up with current development trends, and
third, at this time, he believes it is important to develop
indoor recreation space for recreational programa.
He believes that attendance at Parkers Lake Perk could reach anywhere
frau 40,000 to 50,000 by 1989. Based ,on those figures, tie feels that
the pavilion should be of the beat quality possible. Chair Edwards
indicated her concern about the top floor as proposed now not having
much usable spaoe. Director Blank stated that the top floor allows
for direct aocees from the trail and road, contains the lifeguard
room, mechanical/electrical room, and storage space. All of these
areas are important to the building's function.
Director Blank then listed item that Could be eliminated from the
pavilion in order to reduce costa. The Commission reviewed theee
items and made changes as follower;

Canmi:ssion that he had prepared a par usagekandcoststudyreportfor
the. City Manager as part of the City ,Manager's 1988 Goals and
Objectives. This report was then forwarded to the City Council and
after their review, it was requested that it be forwarded to PRAC for
their review. Director Blank indicated that the City Council wants
PRAC to exaaminepossible cost saving .measures and revue enhancing
measures in early 1988. Any number of possible alternatives, such as
additional user. fees for youth athletic associations, could be
considered. Director Blank stated that Can i1 has w.ggeeted that
PRAC hold sane public .information meetings in early 1988 to introduce.
this idea to the residents.; This item will continue to be on future
agendas
b Now Plata. There were no new plats.
c. aggMt frau P1=qtb=W yz to B=ar Club, Janet Bogan, secretary of
the Plymouth -Wayzata SoccerClub was present atthe meeting to request
that Plymouth Part -c and Recreation take over running the house league
sower group, since they wish to delovrote all, their time to the
travel M teams. Ste stated that there are approximately 1,100 soccer
players, and 270 of these children are on traveling teams., She
suggests that we, coo bine, thesummer sooner program with our fall,
soccer program and run it from, early August through mid-October,
Director Blank stated: that August tends to be a big vacation month for
families with children, and it's the same time that we generally start
field renovations. Rick Busch indicated that the ,v^,ger age groups
could possibly play on the hockey rink areas. John Ferris, treasurer
of the club, was present and discuseed the financial aspect of the
program. He stated that they charge $20 per player and they provide
t -shirts and trophies, as well as paying someom to do the scheduling..
He feels that we could charge the same and provide the same things
they have been providing. Director Blank stated that another option
to consider other than Park and Recreation offering the program would'
be to suggest that the in-house parents start their own soccer
association. He indicated that he, Rick Busch, Greg Finn and,Mary
Patterson would meet with the Soccer Association to further review
this item and make some recommendations to PRAC' at their December
meeting.

Thank you for your kind letter with regard to bicycle paths
throughout Plymouth. Currently, the City has almost 30 miles of
bicycle trails scattered throughout the community. In the years
ahead, we will be adding an additional 15-20 miles of bicycle
trails before our total system is complete. You are absolutely
correct in noting that bicycle trails do make it safer for young
people to move about our community.
Thank you for writing too express your concerns with this matter.
I will pass your letter on to the City Council End the Park and

Dear Amy
Thank you for your kind letter with regard to the lights at
Plymouth Creek Park. The safety of all our park visitors is
foremost in our minds at all times, and proper lighting is a part
of that safety program. I particularly note your concern with
regard to a light near the playground at Plymouth Creek Park. My
staff and'I will be looking at this situation in the months ahead
in an effort to determine whether or not the addition of a light
at this area would be appropriate.
Thank you for your time and interest in Plymouth parks.

Dear Tim:
Thank you for your letter, with regard to the baseball and
softball fields throughout the City of Plymouth. I have
forwarded a copy of your letter to the City Council and the Park
and, Recreation Advisory Commission for their information.
Someday in. the near future, there will be additional soft--
ball/baseball and soccer/football fields developed on a piece of
property on the: north side. of Parkers Lake along County Riad 6
and Niagara Lane. Until that site is developed, you might try
visiting Lions Park, which is located at the intersection of 14th
Avenue and Juneau Lane on the east side of Parkers Lake.
Thank you for your interest in Plymouth parks.

Dear Lisa:
Thank you for your kind letter with regard to a zoo for the City
of Plymouth. I am passing your, letter along to the City Council
and the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission for their
information. Our current comprehensive Fark system plan has not
included the addition of a zoo for the City of Plymouth. Animals
in a zoo require a tremendous amount of care and love in order to
be properly taken care of. The expense involved in running a zoo
is probably beyond the ability of one small city like Plymouth. The Minnesota Zoo which, can attract a large number of people is
much better situated to properly care for the animals. You might
ask your mother and father to explore the possibility of visiting
the Brooklyn Park Historical Farm. I believe they do have a
limited number of animals available at this site that you would
be able to visit with. This would be a much shorter ride than
going to the Minnesota Zoo or the Como Park Zoo.
Thank you for your interest in the City of Plymouth. park system.

ftZata Saner Club Procaoeal-_lMg&t Outl rye
Leet summer Wayzata Soccer Club had 73 house league teams ages 6-15)
I. Areas of Concern
A. Staff Time Comitmcnt
1) Would need at least one person 30-40 hours per week for 10-12'
wWcs to coordinate program.
2) Additional secretarial staff time.
a. registration
b. phone information
c._ schedules, s`andngs
d. rainout infomation
e. coaches manuals
3) Field attendants -- we would have to hire additional attendants to.
put up nets at WSH, WOUH, & 284 administration buai ding.
B. Equipment
1) Storage - if we continue to supply five balls/team, we'd need
space for another 400 balls.
a. an alternative is to supply no balls -require each child to
bring a ball. Wayzata Soccer Club did this last year.
2) Goals - we would need to purchase at least two new sets of the
amll, portables goals. Approximate dost - $ /set. (We may
be able to build our own cheaper.)
3) Neta --we would need to purchase nets for the school district
fields.
C. Facilities
1) Painting - if we use the fields at WSH, WWJH, and the 284
administration building that.were used in the past,. we would have
to paint lines. The Soccer Club paid 284 to line them the last
two years.
a. If we nove the younger age groups into the `=.key rinks, it
would create some additional lining.
2) Additional Fields - we would need to set up some additional full
sized fields either at elementary schools or neighborhood parks to
accommodate the rapid growth of this program.
3) The "traveling tease„ would Leat have exclusive use of the Oakwood,
fields as they have in the: past. All field usage would be evenly
distributed regardless of ability levels.
D. Scheduling
1) Days - in the past, all games have been in the evenings, Monday --
Thursday. We would have to start scheduling some weekend games as
we do in our fall program.
2) Times - this program has been traditionally an evening program. I
would propose we try to offer some daytime leagues with paid
coaches similar to our t -ball program. I would do this either in
addition', or instead of some of the evening age groups.
E. Coaches
1) The Wayzata Soccer Club has had to drop some teams in recent yemrs
because no one would coach.
F. Referees
l) more of the high school and college age refs would be available .in
the summer than we've had in the fall.
G. Dates
1) 1 think that in order to accommodate as many players that want to
play as possible, we would need to run a June -July program similar
to what's been run in the past.
2) I'd also propose we try to move up our fall program :Coxn the
beginning of September to the middle of August to avoid 'awe of
the poor October weather.
3) I think an eight week program is sufficient.
a. Two to three practices for two weeks, then two games per week,
plus one practice per week for five to six weeks,

up the earth on th , 34th Avenue entrance to County !toad 61 park. on Monday,
November 2, the new trail section was paved.
On Tuesday, November 3, T contacted Merilee Riley, President of the Heritage
Homeowners Association and asked her to review the new grading of the trail.
along with acme of her neighbors.
On Thursday, November 5, Mrs.. Riley called me to convey the message that she
and a number of the people in the area had reviewed the trail and felt it was
a nice improvement. She expressed her thanks to the Mayor and Council for
listening to their concerns and acting promptly to improve the cLWitions.
we will now proceed as quickly as possible to sod the banks,along the trail,
so that the final ccopletion of this project can be closed out.
I will keep you informed of any further developments as they arise on our
neighborhood park construction projects.
