Blank, Director, Parks and Recreation SUBJECT: February Agenda Items Director of Planning, Anne Hurlburt, will be in attendance at the meeting to brief the commission on the very hectic planning process that is going to take place during the rest of 1999. She will share with you what we contemplate will be the number and types of meetings that will be necessary to be held throughout the year with the commissions, the Council and the community in order to bring the plan to completion by the end of the year. 2. You have before you the final version of the 1998 Annual Report. We are recommending that you approve the report and send it forward to the City Council for their review and comment. We are presenting to you nine rental policies that need to be reviewed and approved for the year. The amphitheater policy is brand new and is based on the Parkers Lake performance stage policy. We are recommending that you approve these changes and forward them to the City Council. 4. The City Council has requested that we begin looking at a permanent name for the new activity center/freldhouse complex. The new youth advisory council has recommended Plymouth Pavilion or Pavilions. The name sounds quite nice, however, my staff has pointed out one possible problem, which is we currently have used the name Pavilion. As you can see from the attached material, the Parkers Lake building is referred to as the Parkers Lake Pavilion. It has been our plan to match that with a permanent building at the West Medicine Lake Park, which would be called the Medicine Lake Pavilion. For your information, I had Nancy type up the definition of pavilion from the dictionary. Some of the domes around the cities have used different names. At Richfield, they use the name Star Dome on their softball bubble facility. If the name pavilion was used, we anticipate that the site within the park would be called Plymouth Pavilions. Beneath that on the sign would read, "Activity Center/Sports Dome." One other suggestion that has been put forth would be to take the activity center and hyphenate it to "Activity -Arts Center." The bubble could be referred to as fieldhouse, sports dome, sports bubble, sun dome, etc. Staff hasn't come up with any other suggestions at this time. Your help would be greatly appreciated in properly naming this facility. EB/np Attachments Minutes of the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission Meeting January 14, 1999 Page 1 Present: Chair Anderson, Commissioners Fiemann, Musliner, Priebe, Thompson, Willegalle; staff Blank, Bisek, Sankey; Planning Commissioner Koehnen Absent: Commissioner Wahl 1. CALL TO ORDER Chair Anderson called the meeting to order at 7:07 p.m. in the City Council Chambers . 2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A motion was made by Commissioner Thompson and seconded by Commissioner Musliner to approve the minutes of the meeting as presented. The motion carried with all ayes. Appoint Chair and Vice Chair. Commissioner Priebe moved and Commissioner Fiemann seconded a motion to reappoint Don Anderson as Chair and Mark Wahl as Vice Chair. The motion carried with all ayes. 3. VISITOR PRESENTATIONS a. Athletic Associations. None were present. b. Staff. Mary Bisek said that even with too much warmth in the early season, warming houses are now open. Now it is so cold that we have had to close them on some days. The middle school ski clubs are having the same weather problems. We are starting to promote Park & Recreation as a great summer employment opportunity. She asked the commissioners to please refer potential employees to the department. Commissioner Thompson asked how old the applicants must be. Mary said most positions need 16 year olds; some need 18 year olds. A few positions can use 14 and 15 year olds. The positions which use 14 and 15 year olds are limited in hours and scope. Preschool program aides, water safety aides, and concession stand workers can be the younger ages. Park & Recreation is a good first job for young people. We will be advertising soon for the seasonal clerical position. The person would work from mid March to mid September for about 30 hours per week. Karol and Mary have been thinking of a millennium theme for our special events this year. If anyone has ideas for this, they would like to hear them. Fire & Ice is coming up. We will have some competition from the Chili Open, since they changed their date this year to coincide with ours. There is also a We Love Our Kids event with the school district that day. A new performer for Fire & Ice is Nia Imani, a youth gospel choir. Also scheduled are: artistry on ice, youth skating races, a DJ, a magician, concessions, skating, snow bowling, kick sleds, fireworks, and hopefully the PRAC Minutes/January 1999 Page 2 voyageurs. Commissioner Willegalle asked whether the boy scouts would be doing their demonstration again this year. Mary said that Mike Lennon, the leader of their group, has moved out of the community. Commissioner Willegalle also asked about where the rescue demonstration will be held. That is undecided. He asked also about the sound system. Mary said a highboy trailer is being used for the sound system. A new 10 x 10 tent was purchased last fall with funds left over from Plymouth on Parade. c. Others. See item 5b. 4. PAST COUNCIL ACTION Director Blank said that the open space issue has been postponed, because the Council had such a full agenda at their last few meetings. 5. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a. Activity Center. Director Blank spoke about the open house held on Monday, January 11. A model had been made up of the site, and colored diagrams were available to view the project. Only nine people attended, but it was a successful meeting. Some people asked about what their view of the project would be. There were questions about playing rugby in the facility. Many general questions were also asked. On January 27, the Planning Commission is scheduled to make final approval. Director Blank is not expecting any complications since no variances are requested and all conditions have been met. We are allowed to take out 75% of the trees for a project such as this, and we are only removing 15% of them. There will be ponds providing a two -cell system of settling on the site. The ponds will also be integrated into the formal garden, so it will provide a very beautiful view from the building. We need to receive final Council authorization and get the information out for bids. Director Blank said he would like to award contracts at the first Council meeting in April and have the ground breaking around May 1. The landscaping would be substantially completed in October. By November 1, the bubble should be open to the public, with interior work continuing on the building. March 1 would be the target date for completion of the activity building. Once a contractor is on board, a more detailed schedule will be available. Bonds have been sold and the money is available now. Director Blank met with the seniors for an update on the project recently and will meet with the Arts Council and the Athletic Associations. Director Blank reported that he, Cindy, and Rick flew to Cincinnati to view the use of a new turf which is under consideration. They talked to coaches and players about this product. It looks better than grass, plays better than grass, doesn't cause burns, and is simple to maintain. We will also bid an all nylon carpet. The nylon carpet is a little more versatile, but the Cincinnati carpet is $300,000 cheaper. Commissioner Fiemann asked about the differences in the carpets. The Cincinnati carpet is polypropylene, with a sand base. The nylon carpet is harder and can give burns. Polypropylene doesn't burn skin when a player slides, and it isn't slippery. It also has lower maintenance. Commissioner Priebe asked about how long it has been place in Cincinnati. Eric said that it is a new product and has only been in use for seven months. It has a 5 year warranty right now PRAC Minutes/January 1999 Page 3 because they don't really know its wearability yet. It is installed with a layer of sand, a layer of rubber, and a layer of sand and ground rubber. Spike shoes can be worn on it. If this carpet is chosen, nylon carpet would be installed on the outer 15 feet, then the field surface would be the polypropylene carpet. The other bid would be all nylon carpet throughout. In Cincinnati, college, high school, and pro teams are all using it and loving it. For warranty purposes, Astro Turf would prefer to do the complete installation including the sub -base. Commissioner Priebe commented that the pictures of the great room in the Activity Center are really striking. Commissioner Thompson agreed. b. Request from Zachary Lane PTO to Fund Playground. Stephanie Parsons (the Principal of Zachary Lane Elementary), Nancy Zats (11610 485 Place N), and Lois Sugrue (4665 Yorktown Lane N) appeared before the commission to request funding for the replacement of the school's playground. Sugrue said they have been doing extensive fund raising within the community, but they need additional money. Zats said the playground is being brought up to date for safety, and it also must be brought up to date for ADA. They have had a great response from the community for their fund raising efforts. They have raised $44,950 already. They feel that since the school provides playfields to the population in general, the city should contribute to the effort. The athletic associations use it, and many residents use it year round. The school only uses it during the day, during the school year. Having a nice looking playground makes the community more attractive. The school is listed in the park & trail guide. Commissioner Fiemann asked how much they had in mind. Zats said $15,000. Their figures are not final yet. Parsons added that the committee has been working on the issue for over a year. The school district has put in $12,000. The PTO is working on funding for upkeep in future years. They would like some assistance in this endeavor. Commissioner Priebe asked if School District 281 is prepared to cover this since it is school property. He also asked whether a school which is not designated as a neighborhood park can receive city funding. Director Blank said that Kimberly Lane and Zachary Lane are not listed as neighborhood parks for their respective walking neighborhoods, and the policy is that they would not receive funding. Commissioner Priebe asked if the facility is scheduled for games. Director Blank said that during the summer, the department does the permitting for the athletic associations on behalf of the school districts. The school is listed on the park and trail map for the convenience of parents in finding the school. Chair Anderson told the group that raising the amount of money that they have was a tremendous effort. Chair Anderson advised that the commissioners should review the staff report. Director Blank said that there is a policy for schools requesting money for playgrounds which was adopted in the early 1980's. Requests must be in by May before they can be considered for the CIP. The Zachary group called in early November. He told them at that time that they do not qualify for the funding. They called two weeks ago and wanted to press forward with the issue. The CIP has already been approved. Chau Anderson noted how much the City has already given to the Robbinsdale District. Commissioner Willegalle PRAC Minutes/January 1999 Page 4 noted that if we are using their fields, perhaps we should contribute to the upkeep. Director Blank said we do line them and do much of the maintenance in addition to doing all the scheduling. Rick Busch does all the scheduling for all the fields in the City of Plymouth in order to keep a handle on what is being used for what purpose. Commissioner Priebe said we should stay with the policy because it makes sense. He also felt that liability becomes an issue if we contribute to the project. Director Blank explained that when we have given money to schools for playgrounds in the past, it is on the condition that they give us a letter stating that the district assumes 100% of the responsibility for care, maintenance and liability. Chair Anderson asked if the school groups usually have this much money in hand when they request help from the City. Director Blank said sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. Commissioner Fiemann stated that they should wait until next year's CIP for consideration of the request. Commissioner Thompson said that it sounds like we are proposing to change the policy. She finds the current policy reasonable and is not sure it should be changed. Commissioner Willegalle observed that the commission probably should not tell them to come back next year if the policy is going to be followed. The commission should decide now and not give them hope if it will be denied anyway. Commissioner Fiemann felt it was probably not a high enough priority for the city. Commissioner Priebe asked if the commission should tell them that the chances of approval are slim, but they can try again next year. CHAIR ANDERSON MOVED THAT BASED ON CURRENT POLICY, NO RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL COULD BE MADE AT THIS TIME. THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY COMMISSIONER THOMPSON. THE MOTION CARRIED WITH ALL AYES. 6. NEW BUSINESS a. Review draft of annual report and 1999 work plan. Commissioner Willegalle asked for a definition of unrnaintained space and open space. Director Blank said we do some maintenance on open space such as garbage pick up and none on unmaintained space. Director Blank said he would invite Anne Hurlburt to come to the next meeting to talk about the Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Priebe asked about the skateboard park project. Director Blank said the $85,000 which had been allocated for the park was reallocated to a trail by Armstrong High School. The Council didn't want to compete with the private enterprise of Four Downs. Four Downs is having problems and may not continue in business. Commissioner Willegalle said the equipment at Four Downs is not moveable, as it is built into the walls and floor. He also felt that we should reconsider the multiple city consortium for the portable skate park. Everyone felt that they should not put it back into this year's work plan. It may come back into focus later. Director Blank felt the dog park should be added. Staff is studying various issues regarding this potential project. Chair Anderson asked about adult soccer and space for them to play. Director Blank said that staff is working with other cities to come up with an equitable way of allocating fields. Chair Anderson felt this didn't need to be in the work plan. Director Blank said the Activity Center issues and comprehensive plan will be a lot of work. Chair Anderson said that if anyone thinks of new issues to add, they should call Eric, Mary or Nancy to have the issues added to the plan. PRAC Minutes/January 1999 Page 5 Director Blank said he would send out the Ice Arena pages which were unavailable for the meeting. The preliminary reports show the ice arena making $205,000 in profit. At this rate, they should reach the $600,000 enterprise fund goal in about 3 years, which should allow us to keep the building in good repair forever. They should not need to raise the rates in the near future. Commissioner Fiemann asked if they should consider three sheets of ice. Director Blank said that the population and needs would have to be monitored before a decision on a third ice sheet could be made. Everyone was very impressed with the Ice Arena's first year. Commissioner Willegalle asked what would happen to excess revenue after the fund goal is reached. Director Blank said that as of right now, the money would continue to accumulate. Commissioner Willegalle noted that convincing the public to undertake these projects is so hard because all they see is the price. They don't realize the future revenue. Commissioner Priebe commented that we have always covered sports, and now the arts are being covered. He wondered if the Commission should give some thought to what other areas of human endeavor could be addressed. Mary Bisek said that once the Activity Center facility is in place, the activities will find us. The people who have a use in mind will ask for the facility space to use. Poetry readings, quilting groups, and community band groups are some possibilities. She agreed that we do need to think about these things and provide the space for them. Commissioner Willegalle also agreed that they would come to us. Mary felt that part of our function is to facilitate, not always to plan and sponsor. Director Blank added that people will be retiring earlier and living longer, and they will need encouragement of their interests. Commissioner Willegalle said that the younger seniors need to be attracted to programs, and evening offerings are important for them. They are not all retired yet, but if we reach them now, they will take part during the daytime hours as they do retire. He feels the senior segment will grow tremendously. Director Blank said the 12-15 year old age groups are the hardest to reach. Teen centers are usually not successful. The commissioners agreed that some thought should be given to these age groups. Mary encouraged the commissioners to come to the staff with any ideas they may have. The staff is always looking for new concepts. A draft work plan will be put together and sent to the commissioners. c. Selecting a name for park at Vicksburg Lane & Schmidt Lake Road. Commissioner Musliner liked the names Gateway Park and Comer Park. Commissioner Fiemann felt Plum Tree Park was too much like the name of a development west of the area. COMMISSIONER MUSLINER MOVED THAT THE PARK ON THE CORNER OF VICKSBURG LANE AND SCHMIDT LAKE ROAD BE CALLED GATEWAY PARK. COMMISSIONER FIEMANN SECONDED THE MOTION, AND IT CARRIED WITH ALL AYES. PRAC Minutes/January 1999 Page 6 d. Little Peninsula. Director Blank reported that the hotel developers had offered to donate the peninsula to the City, but have now sold it to a private individual. A letter from the Planning Commission went out to this individual to let him know that no development can be made on the site. The attorneys have said that there is an access issue with the railroad tracks which run near the property. Commissioner Willegalle asked if the hotel was still going to be built. Director Blank said it has been approved, but he is not sure when construction is planned'to begin. 7. COMMISSION PRESENTATION None. 8. STAFF COMMUNICATION Director Blank congratulated the commissioners on a great year. He invited them to look at the graphics showing interior and exterior views of the activity center and also to look at the model which had been prepared. 9.

One of the most noteworthy was final approval by the City Council of a plan to develop an activity center. This facility will serve some of the needs of the senior citizens and other cormnunity activities. Another major accomplishment was the substantial continued interest in the ice center by the community. This activity is most rewarding because of the time involved to develop the project and the financial investment scheme which involved some surrounding school districts. Also, after a lengthy planning process, West Medicine Lake Park was substantially completed. Please review the following list of accomplishments for 1998: Grand opening celebrations were held for Three Ponds Neighborhood Park and West Medicine Lake City Park. Citizens approved a $4.5 million bond referendum to help fund the activity center and fieldhouse complex. East Medicine Lake Regional trail was completed, connecting French Park on the north to East Medicine Lake Park on the south. Elm Creek Playfield became fully operational. The open space task force reconvened and developed operational guidelines for the three open space sites. The Parks and Recreation Department began accepting class registrations via touch tone telephone. The Parks and Recreation Department received awards from the League of Minnesota Cities and the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association for innovative public/private partnership on the development of the LifeTime Fitness/Plymouth Ice Center complex; for our boat project which teamed volunteers with low income children on the actual construction of three sailboats; and the forestry division for an outstanding combined project at the new Wayzata High School and Elm Creek Playfield. The city authorized the purchase of a portable performance stage to be used for Music in Plymouth and other outdoor concerts. The parks and recreation staff does a good job to simply make "things happen." The Park and Recreation Advisory Commission appreciates their efforts. Respectfully submitted, XW/ 44tA Donald D.

The Commission will strive to ensure that the facility will be operated in such a manner as to provide a broad spectrum of recreational activities of interest to all segments of the Plymouth community. The Commission is also interested in ensuring that the facility operates in a fiscally responsible manner to both the tax paying public and the users of the facility. 2. Comprehensive Plan During 1999, the Commission will continue comprehensive planning for the park system, particularly northwest Plymouth. The Commission is committed to working with the planning department and the Planning Commission and moving forward with planning for the next century. It is anticipated that outside consultants will help the Commission in reviewing the entire park and trail system plan originally developed in 1980 and more specifically the northwest area of Plymouth. The Commission has noted a special interest in identifying open space property above and beyond our normal park needs in the northwest segment of Plymouth. The Commission has also shown a strong interest in studying and preserving the Elm Creek corridor and the future of the private golf courses within Plymouth. Youth Sports The Commission is committed to studying further the redevelopment of both Greenwood Elementary School and Central Middle School for future youth sports needs. Staff and Commission will work closely with both school districts in determining the best options for maintaining quality facilities for youth athletics. It is anticipated that the new field house scheduled to open in November of this year will open great opportunities and expand youth athletics in many positive ways. 4. Golf Courses The Commission will pay special attention to developing strategies in 1999 that will ensure the continued operation of the three private golf courses in Plymouth for as long as possible. The Commission will further review and discuss the concepts of securing rights of first refrisal from one or more of the golf courses to further protect the city's long term goal of maintaining golf within the community. 5. Dog Park As part of the updating of the comprehensive plan, the Commission will review current available information to determine a course of action for the development of one or more areas where dogs can run free. Because of the many pets in Plymouth, the development of what is referred to as a bark park" seems like a natural extension of our current park system. The first step in this process will be the research and review of data throughout the country on dog parks that are currently in operation. 6. Art The Commission has expressed an interest in working with and supporting the newly formed Plymouth Fine Arts Council. The Commission will look at and review ways to expand arts programming, not only within the activity center but also out in the parks themselves. 1998 HIGHLIGHTS Grand Opening — West Medicine Lake City Park/Three Ponds Neighborhood Park On June 13, the City Council and Park Commission officially opened two parks for public use. At 9 a.m., the Mayor cut the ribbon at Three Ponds Neighborhood Park in northeast Plymouth. Approximately 75 residents participated in the grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony. The morning's highlight was a group picture taken of the residents, staff, mayor, council and park commissioners hanging on or standing around the children's playground. Area residents expressed their gratitude to the City for developing such a wonderful park. The ribbon cutting ceremony for the reopening of West Medicine Lake City Park took place at 11 a.m. Approximately 150 residents gathered to participate. The city's new portable stage was used for the first time during this event. Musical performances were conducted on the stage before and after the ribbon cutting. The ribbon cutting culminated four years of redevel- opment effort on West Medicine Lake Park and signified the reopening of the swimming beach. 2. Election for Activity Center/Fieldhouse On May 19 citizens approved by referendum the sale of $4.5 million of general obligation bonds to help fund the $7.6 million activity center and fieldhouse complex. Del Erickson, a Plymouth resident, was selected as the lead architect on the project. Throughout the rest of the year, planning on the project proceeded with strong involvement from the senior citizen coun- cil, fine arts council and area athletic associations. Construction is to commence in May of 1999 on this project and be completed by March of 2000. 3. East Medicine Lake Regional Trail The City, working in conjunction with Hennepin Parks, was able to complete the East Medi- cine Lake Regional Trail during 1998. The 12 foot wide off-road trail connecting French Regional Park on the north with East Medicine Lake Park on the south culminates over 20 years of planning for the regional trail. Community response and use of the trail has been extremely positive. The completion of this north -south trail will lead to the further development of the East-West Corridor following the Luce Line Railroad. A grand opening of the trail is scheduled for the spring of 1999. 4. Elm Creek Playfield In September the Elm Creek Playfield opened in its entirety for community use. Although the adult softball fields were put into play in May, use of the soccer fields was delayed to allow the grass to better establish itself during the summer months. With the opening of school, full usage occurred by the physical education classes, varsity and junior varsity soccer clubs and community soccer. It is anticipated that the Elm Creek Playfield will be one of the major workhorses of the community playfreld system for many years. 5 5. Plymouth on Parade The first ever Plymouth on Parade was successfully conducted on Saturday, October 10. Approximately 5,000 people participated in and attended this parade. Following the parade, a sock hop and a water carnival were held inside LifeTime's gym and pool areas. The ice center was open for free skating; and outdoors, musical events were taking place, including the senior citizen choir and other community groups. 6. Hardenhurg Open Space Nancy Hardenburg moved out of her house in June, which she had occupied for 51 years on this southwest open space property. A few weeks prior, the Hardenburg's held a major family party to celebrate a lifetime of experiences they had enjoyed on this wonderful land. After the property had been vacated, the home and paddleball court were demolished and the founda- tions removed. The open space task force reconvened to develop operational guidelines for each of the three open space sites. By year's end they had completed their work and presented a recommendation to PRAC for review and comment, prior to it being submitted to the City Council in early 1999. 7. Touch Tone Registration In February, Parks and Recreation went live with the first touch tone registration system in the country. The response by the public has been outstanding, exceeding our expectations, and, by the end of the year, we were experiencing registration rates of approximately 30% via the touch tone system. Because of our success, we have been chosen by ESCOM, the software vendor, to be a Beta site, and also perhaps the first live site for Internet registration in 1999. 8. Park Department Receives Awards The city and parks department received awards from the League of Minnesota Cities and the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association. The first award was for innovative pub- lic/private partnership on the development of the LifeTime Fitness/Plymouth Ice Center com- plex. The second award was for our boat project, which teamed volunteers with low income children on the construction of three sailboats. The skills learned and experiences shared by the youth and adults proved to be an outstanding recreational program. The third award was presented to the city's forestry department for an outstanding combined project at the new Wayzata High School/Elm Creek Playfield. This program combined the talents of city staff, students and community leaders for the development of the Elm Creek Nature Center. 9. Performance Stage and Amphitheater 1998 marked a watershed year for the promotion of performing arts within Plymouth. In the spring, the City acquired a portable performance stage for Music in Plymouth and other out- door concerts throughout the community. The stage was used in its first year by the city, the Plymouth Civic League, the Wayzata School District, and private groups. The amphitheater also began to host events other than Music in Plymouth for the first time in 1998. All of the Wayzata School District elementary bands got together for a two night music festival in the park in June. Local church groups sponsored a music festival late in August, and in Septem- ber, the city's rapidly expanding art festival was held at the amphitheater site. The develop- ment of the amphitheater, the acquisition of the stage, and the organization of the Plymouth Fine Arts Council should lead to many wonderful visual and performing arts activities for many years.

Highlights this year: West Medicine Lake Beach re -opened after being closed from 1991-1997. West Medicine Lake Beach was open June 13 -August 9. Scheduled hours — 464. Actual hours — 448. Parkers Lake beach was open from May 30 - August 16. Scheduled hours were 632. Actual hours were 549. Medicine Lake East Beach was open from June 13 - August 9. Schedule hours were 434. Actual hours were 444. June's average temperature was 73°. Weather was cool the first week. The weather steadily improved and populations increased as the month progressed. July weather was generally nice with an average temperature of 78 degrees. There were no rain days this month! August was cooler with rain and an average temperature of 75 degrees. J.O.H.P.E.R.D., a nationally recognized formula, was used for determining beach attendance in 1998. This is thought to be a more accurate reflection of visitor numbers than the method used in the past. Waterfowl in the beach area, glass, boats and floatation devices are concerns. Plymouth runs warming houses at Zachary, Plymouth Middle School, Plymouth Creek, LaCompte, Oakwood, Ridgemount, Bass Lake and Parkers Lake. There were many closed days due to poor weather conditions. Warming houses did not open in December, 1998, due to warm weather. 12 10 YEAR ENROLLMENT IN PLYMOUTH ADULT TEAM SPORTS 1989-98 Fall 3 -Man BKB Winter 3 -Man BKB Spring 3 -Man BKB Summer 5 -Man BKB Winter 5 -Man BKB Fall 5 -Man BKB Fall Volleyball Winter Volleyball Beach Volleyball 4 -Man Football Co-Rec Broomball Softball Warmup 4 -Man Hockey Spring 5 -Man Unoff BKB Total Unofficiated OFFICIATED 4 -Man Football Winter 5 -Man BKB Fall Power Volleyball Winter Power Volleyball Summer Softball Fall Softball Total Officiated TOTALTEAMS 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 1989 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 40 28 28 32 33 32 24 24 24 18 43 48 36 32 32 32 30 24 28 24 26 32 24 20 30 24 32 30 28 20 0 0 4 5 6 8 11 6 8 14 0 0 6 8 8 11 10 12 15 16 0 16 16 16 16 17 16 16 16 16 44 50 44 42 39 34 32 25 26 19 46 42 46 42 38 36 38 35 26 26 12 22 24 24 22 21 16 8 8 8 32 32 28 23 16 11 16 8 7 8 14 15 14 8 9 8 10 14 8 x 22 24 25 16 16 8 0 x x 12 13 16 15 12 12 14 12 12 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 12 291 322 311 283 261 262 257 221 203 189 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 6 8 22 20 21 18 18 18 18 12 11 14 0 0 0 6 6 6 5 0 0 0 12 12 9 9 11 9 8 6 0 0 210 185 193 195 191 185 167 145 136 116 56 64 64 79 80 73 71 48 56 44 300 281 287 307 306 291 269 217 209 182 591 603 598 590 567 553 526 438 412 371 30 played double headers.

Each new session brings in more and more new skaters, as well as many returning skaters ready to achieve higher levels. The Plymouth Pandas Figure Skating Team has achieved many honors this past year. They have won five team trophies from local competitions and they came in 17`1' place this year at the ISI World Competition in St. Louis. Our First Annual Ice Show was a big success, and it should be even bigger this next year. I only see bigger and better things happening in the future for the Plymouth Figure Skating Program. In all, the City of Plymouth, Park and Recreation Department, and Plymouth Ice Center staff have been dedicated in 1998 to supplying the recreational needs of all residents throughout the year, each and every day. Thus showing that the City has kept its promise to provide a quality facility, available to all, for a variety of recreational uses, at no additional cost to local taxpayers. 19 Volunteer Program FOCUS ON QUALITY VOLUNTEER PROGRAM The Volunteer Program for the City of Plymouth is an excellent way for citizens who live or work in Plymouth to be actively engaged with their local government. The Volunteer Program facilitates working partnerships between staff and citizens. Statistics give a very graphic picture of the large part that volunteers played in the City of Plymouth in 1998. 924 volunteers (unduplicated number 858; 66 individuals volunteered for two or more positions) 71 different volunteer positions 12,196 hours Value added to the City in the amount of $167,451 ($13.73 is the per hour dollar value of volunteering, per the MN Office on Citizenship and Volunteer Services) 37 staff members supervised volunteers A very important part of the Volunteer Program is City staff who choose to partner with volunteers. The program has been successful in that every department has had some staff who have worked with volunteers. It is also very important for the Volunteer Program to offer a variety of ways for people to be involved as volunteers. There are three general categories of volunteer opportunities: Ongoing Volunteers: These individuals commit to volunteering on a regular basis, often weekly. They usually develop a strong relationship with the staff with whom they work. Time limited volunteers: These volunteers work on projects which can range from a few weeks to several months. Teens and adults have been involved in these projects. Special event volunteers: These volunteers make a one-time commitment on one specific day and sign up for a shift that usually ranges from two to four hours in length. Sometimes special events offer an opportunity for families to volunteer together. They also offer situations where young and old can work side by side. The City hosted eleven different special events in 1998, and all of them were dependent on volunteers for their success. Special events for 1998 included: Fire & Ice, Primavera, spring clean-up, spring recycling, spring flower planting, and a special fall planting, History Fest, Autumn Art Fair, fall recycling, Plymouth on Parade, and Old Fashioned Christmas. During 1998, the Volunteer Program was fortunate to develop several partnerships. The Plymouth Honeywell plant participated in adopting a park, and they provided labor for the Plymouth Housing Alliance. Prudential Insurance partnered with the City for a special fall planting, which was designed so the planting day coincided with Prudential's Global Volunteering Day. A third partnership was established with the Church of the Latter Day Saints. Several families from different congregations worked together to clean the portable voter booths and the voter ballot boxes on a designated volunteer day. 20 During 1998 NW Community Cable 12 periodically featuring City of Plymouth volunteers during their Helping Hands segments. Some of the volunteers featured were siunmer teens, a gardener, a marketing specialist, and an appraiser's aide. The Volunteer Program continued to offer viable volunteer opportunities for teens through the summer teen volunteer program. Teens 14 and older were matched with almost every summer recreation program. One of the year's highlights was the initiation of the first staff workshop on the supervision of volunteers. This two hour session, available for all staff, was facilitated by two outside consultants knowledgeable in the field of volunteer management. The fifth annual recognition event was held in October at the Carlson Towers Rotunda. Volunteers, guests, and staff who supervised volunteers enjoyed conversation and desserts during the social hour, then were treated to a captivating talk on attitudes presented by nationally known speaker, Bruce Christopher. The evening concluded with door prizes for volunteers. The City of Plymouth's Volunteer Program is vital in aiding staff members, offering venues for citizens to grow and learn, and creating strong linkages between the community and the City. 71 Positions 37 Supervisors Special Events 11% OngoingTime 33%056% Limited 21 924 Volunteers Special Events 39% 4 Time Limited 55% Ongoing 6% Supervisors' Departments Public Safety 14% Finance_ 10% Engineering 14% Administration 14% Park & Rec 40% Community Development 8% PARK MAINTENANCE DIVISION Acreages Maintained ............................................... 370 Unrnaintained.......................................... 586 OpenSpace .............................................. 067 Total..................................................... 1,023 Types of Duties Un - Maintain Or Natural 57% PARK ACREAGE'S Open Space 7% Building Maintenance Aerate Mowing Top Dress Trimming Overseed Refuse Service Beach Maintenance Rink Maintenance Irrigation Systems Horticulture Upkeep Trail Inspection Machinery & Equipment - 90 Pieces Acres Under Irrigation - 180 22 9aintained 37% Trail & Parking Lot Plowing Evening Field Setup Safety Inspection Line Painting Park Breakdown Plymouth has three types of parks: City parks, community playfields and neighborhood parks. City parks have an extensive trail system, children's playground, nature areas, and special features such as a beach or pavilions. Playfrelds have softball/baseball fields, soccer, hockey rinks, tennis courts, walking paths, and shelter buildings. Neighborhood parks generally have a children's playground, benches, open areas and small picnic shelters. Plymouth's trail system consists of asphalt paths separate from the roadway, striped lanes along the roadways, or specially marked trails which share a roadway. 1.

Of the total 897 trees marked, 71% were for DED. The average diameter of these diseased Elms was 10.3". We marked 6% more trees this year, which may be attributed to the early, warm spring and extended fall which was conducive to large beetle populations. It appears that trees infected with Oak Wilt subsided this past year after a record number three years ago. We marked five oaks with an average diameter of 18", compared to the 19 trees that were marked last year. We re -inspected the three disease centers that were detected in 1995 and found a significant decrease in numbers due to in part to timely removal of the disease material by the surrounding landowners. We will continue to monitor these areas of concern and continue to work closely with the surrounding residents. With the City's funding of the sample charge for Oak Wilt testing, an increased public awareness, and an intensive field inspection program, the City should be able to effectively manage Oak wilt incidences. Marking of hazardous trees increased by 40% as we had more storms that produced damaged trees that had to be removed and more inspections based on private resident complaints. The average diameter of these trees was 14.1". Parks & trails are continually inspected for dead or structurally weak trees, as are boulevards and right of ways. Removal of potentially hazardous tree situations decreases the potential liability to the public.

They are invasive and tend to grow in large colonies displacing native plant communities in a relatively short time. Effective control requires initial labor-intensive action followed by monitoring. A combination of control measures (physical & chemical) plus monitoring and replanting is essential in the buckthorn battle. The City has started the process of physical removal of the large plants in the following areas; Queensland park West Medicine Lake park Hardenberg property Assisted at Birchview School nature area The next step is to remove and/or chemically treat the smaller plants that remain. This will be followed by close monitoring to eradicate seedlings that will sprout up from dormant seed. Replanting the sites with native species is critical to the final success of restoration efforts. of trees (<6") removed of trees (>6") removed Total # of forced removals It of properties w/ removals Forced Removals 8 30 38 (Avg. diameter= 10") 10 Many of the force cuts this year were for homeowners associations, or from properties that we have force cut in the past.

The largest plantings were accomplished in the partnership/volunteer category, which speaks volumes for the public's commitment to enhancing their environment through personal involvement and positive action. The Forestry division accepted the flower planting program with additional public involvement from the Stewards for Greening Plymouth. A stronger effort on beautification projects and continued maintenance will be the focus for next year. The Arbor Day ceremony was again a celebration this year. The Forestry Division and School District #284 sponsored an educational planting at Greenwood Elementary which focused on an outdoor learning center. The children improved their local environment with their own hands. A strong sense of community pride was experienced that day.

A significant amount of this increase can be attributed to an increase in the quantity of trees inventoried in the 0-3 inch size class. The area that was trimmed was just over one full section, similar to the area that was trimmed in 1996. The cost of trimming remained about the same as 1997. Many of the calculated outcomes are comparable to 1996 trimming. We are hoping to be able to look at our inventory data broken down in size classes to get a more accurate comparison of the progress made each year. Street Tree Trimming Highlights Trimmed trees 1854 Removed trees 140 Total maintained trees 1994 Avg. # of trees maintained/day (8 hours) 56 Cost per inch to maintain $1.50/in. Park Tree Trimming Highlights With a increase in removals due in part to storm damage, we were not able to accomplish some much needed park tree trimming in the parks. Park Maintenance crews did go through most of the parks lifting trees during the late fall. These trees are in maintained areas of parks which get the most contact from citizens and our mowing crews. Pine Bark Beetle Traps A partnership between the Kingsview Homeowners Association, Gleason Lake Elementary, and the City of Plymouth resulted in 35 traps established in the Red pine stand between the homes and school playfrelds. The stand was evaluated by Forestry staff, thinning was completed by the school district, and traps were monitored by the City & 5d' grade students. Midsummer, residents at 53`d & Larch contacted the Forestry division regarding the sudden decline in several Red pines in their neighborhood. An infestation of Pine Bark beetle was detected & trapping started immediately. A similar partnership resulted in five traps established in the stands adjacent to their homes. The following results were found: 30 000 ria rt 000 70 soo c _'- 40 31 200 lea G_le aeon—e']]rtl Unfortunately for the residents at 53`d & Larch, the infestation appears greater in their neighborhood as the beetle count per trap was 10-15 times greater than the Gleason Lake area. We expect to work closely with these groups again in 1999 to further combat the Pine Bark beetle problem and insure the health of the remaining Red pine stands. Miscellaneous Items FERTILIZING/AERATING Fertilizing occurred at the following sites due to the immediate impact of the recently constructed site: 1. Amphitheater 2. Sunrise park Proper maintenance helps insure that our initial investment will come to fruition in a viable and healthy urban forest. SITE OBSTRUCTIONS 3 site obstruction complaints were received, processed and abated. 30 burn sites were inspected, resulting in 28 permits being issued. The Minnesota DNR has notified the City that the permanent diseased tree burning site permit will not be renewed in 2000, so the City has begun looking at salvaging some of the wood that is currently burned in our burn site. This would be a logical, as well as a more environmentally sensitive, approach to the wood waste disposal. 31 Summary of Proposed Changes to Rental Policies 1. Community Use of Plymouth Outdoor Recreation Facilities We are proposing to increase rental rates for softball/baseball fields and hockey rinks from 12/hour to $13/hour and from $70/day to $75/day.

The Commission was most appreciative that you would follow up your request letter by attending their meeting. They asked me to explain why they were unable to recommend approval of your request. Attached for your information are the guidelines for requesting city contributions to playground improvements. This policy was first adopted by the City Council in May - 1986 and revised in November 1996. Item #I of this policy indicates that to qualify for funding, an elementary school must be the designated neighborhood park for a walking neighborhood within the City's comprehensive park plan. In this instance, Rolling Hills Park is the official neighborhood park for walking neighborhood #12. Upon review, the Commission felt that it was appropriate to recommend to the City Council that the City should follow the adopted guidelines. One other issue, not as important as the first one, is the timeline for submitting requests. In order to have all funding requests considered by the Commission at the same time, May 1 is the deadline for submittals each year. Because the Commission approved the 1999 CIP last November, they felt it was too late to consider funding for 1999. Any future funding request for the year 2000 and beyond should be received by May 1, 1999. After a public hearing is held by the Planning Commission on the City's entire capital improvement budget in February, the City Council will review the official CIP in March. The City Council will be informed of your request and the recommendation by the Park and Recreation Advisory Commission. The Mayor and Council will also receive copies of this letter informing you of the Commission's recommendation. Sincerely, J Eric J.
