FROH:
I have quickly put together some thoughts about each park under our
supervision. They are by no means complete or in order of priority. They
are merely a small start on the road that we must follow to put together
a capital improvement program for each park. The wording is only suggestion
as to my recollection of needs. Please read them and if'you will, place them'
in order of priorities as you see them and add in the large number of things
that I have omitted.
Please understand that the suggestions in this brief outline are not
directives, only the beginning of an outline to aid you in starting your
proposed C.I.P. Time is getting short to get this outline put together
before spring Vlhen we will be pushed on installation of amenities and we
must have our priorities set so we ~an answer the public when they ask about
any park, and approximately when they will get any given item for any given
park.

extra dirt and trash from construction so we must all know the park area
quite well when construction begins so we can agree on areas we could allow
fill to be placed in.
All parks need mowing at least once a ~onth.
Trash containers and scheduled pick-up in each

SUBJECT:
Park Five Year Capital Improvement Plan
Enclosed are the minutes of the February 12, 1976, Park Advisory Board
meeting. The major item of busines was a five year improvement program
for the park lands now owned by the city.
Let me emphasize that the improvements listed on this acheduls are by no
means complete in nature, but rather rRnrRARnt minim~l a~Danrl;tllr~1
desinnRd tn c~~"~ ftnlr~h_-~ ~--- ~~"~ft. The objective was to judg~ the
community needs over the 1976-80 period and try to serve those needs
with the least possible capital outlay.
In other words, spend just enough money to get the park into operation
in order that the public may use it. Most of these items have boen r~~
requested by citizens in recent years.
As you may observe, the total expenditures needed over the next five years
(and most of it is readily needed right now) is about 1125,000. The 1976
park capital improvement budget is $15,000.00 of which about $1500.00 has
already been spent leaving about $13,500.00 available. The city long
range C.I.P. calls for S10,000.00/year in park improvements. Quite
obviously these amounts are pitifully inadequate to effect even a minimal
program such as we are attempting. It is very apparent that a park capital
improvement budget of about $25,000.00 per year is needed if ue expect to
accomplish even a minimun goal.

Legal aspects of lifeguarding
Judges in various states have found owners, operators, supervisors or
lifeguards legally liable for drownings in all of the following situations:
where (1) there was failure to provide a lifeguard; (2) although lifeguards
were provided, they were found to be insufficient in number or insufficiently
skilled; (3) the operators failed to provide resuscitation equipment or per-
sons skilled in artificial respiration; (4) the lifeguards, although suf-
ficient in number and properly qualified, were in attentive; (5) it was
shown that the proper efforts were not undertaken or were not undertaken
promptly; (6) the lifeguard failed to prevent boisterous play.
The question of responsibility more often involves personal injury rather
than death. Courts have repeatedly found the operator or lifeguard liable
in these situations, amoung others: where (1) a diver injures a swimmer
by striking him (this is perhaps the most dramatic and common example of the
effects of lack of controlover the patrons by the lifeguard on duty;these
are not C2ses of a spontaneous leap into the water by a patron but are sub-

MEMORANDUM

r
TO: Prior Lake City CO?TIcil
FROM:
Walter A. Stock, Mayor
DATE: ~ March 29, 1976
HE: M~or-Council and Advisory Commissioners
role as it pertains to Plan B.
The City developed a staff capability which should have relieved some
burden of being a member of the Council, Park and Planning Advis.ory
Commissions. The City has invested in a group of professionals to advise
us, but all too often the recommendation does not go all the way because
procedures have not been outlined.
First, I will address the Mayor-Council role, based on statute 412.601
.to 412.751.
412.661 Limitation of Powers of Members of Council. Neither the
Council nor any of its members shall dictate the appointment of aQy
person to office or employment by the manager, or in any manner
interfere with the manager or prevent him from exercising his own
judgment in the appointment of officers and employees in the admin-
istrative service; but this shall not be construed to prohibit the
council from passing ordinances for establishing a merit system
governmg city employment. Except for the purpose of inquiry, the
council and its members shall deal with and control the administra-.
tive service solely through the manager, and neither the council
nor any of its members shall give orders to any subordinate of the
manager, either publicly or privately.
412.721 No Councilmen, Mayor, officer or employee of the City shall
place any order or make any purchase except that authorized in the
budget resolution. Any obligation incurred by any person for aQy
purpose not authorized shall be a personal obligation upon the
person incurrmg the expenditure.
All policy decisions and legislative activities are the responsibility
of the City Council, but the administrative duties are delegated to a
City Manager. The City Manager, however, is strictly accountable to the
Council for the effective administration of City business in accordance
with the Council's decisions or policy. The coUncil must exert all of
its controls through the City Manager. However, this provision does
not prohibit individual council members from obtaining information
pertaining to city business from employees other than the Manager.
THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY
The Mayors role-
1.
The mayor has three very important responsibilities. In additiori
to these the mayor is also a member of the City Council, and, as
such, he has all of the powers and duties of a councilman.
In the first place, he serves as the city's representative before
the state legislature, federal agencies, state agencies, and other
local goverrnents.
--
.
In the second place, he will be expected to perform ceremonial
duties on behalf of the community. He gives formal and informal
talks, and takes part in most public events. Since he will fre-
quently be asked to speak before local civic groups, he must be
prepared to explain and defend city problems and programs.
~
r
..
In the third place, he will be expected to exert considerable
leadershi~over the general conduct of city affairs. Since he
lacks any individual authority, the exercise of this latter
responsibility will more frequently call for tact than for any overt
acts, of direction of superVisory control.
2. Executes official documents.
a. The mayor must sign-
1. Ordinanc es
2. Contracts which have been authorized by the Council
3. Written ordevs for payment of claims as provided by budget
resolution.
3. Membership in special groups
a. Board of Trustees of the Firemens' Relief Association (ex-.
officio member only).
4. Presiding officer at council meetings, in addition he has full
authority to make, second and vote on all motions before the council.
He also may call special meetings of the council.
5. City Weed Inspector.
6. Election Duties
only those relative to the conduct of election.
7. Bodies of Water - The mayor is designated as the city representative
to receive notice of proceedings with reference to any body of water
within or adjoining the city limits. It is his duty to submit any
such notices to the council thereby allowing it to take any necess-
ary or expedient action.
s. Reporting Liquor Violations - The mayor must make complaints to the
Chief of Police of any known violation of the liquor laws (Minnesota
Statutes, Chapter 340).
-2-
The Councilman's role -
i
"
r
~
Councilmen's' statutory duties are to be perfbrmed, without exception
by the council as a whole. It is this body, not individual members, which
formulate policies and legislate acts.
The most important single responsibility of a 'councilman is part-
icipation at council meetings. Each councilman has full authority to
make and second motions, participate in di~cussions, and vote on every
matter coming before the council. Any two councilmen may call a special
meeting of the Council.
As individuals, councilmen have no administrative authorit.y, they
cannot. g;,rp orders or otherwise sllpRrvi se ~i t.y p.mpl oyees. Authority
over administrative affairs is restricted to conducting investigations
and establishing policies for execution by the Manager.
Councilmen should devote their official time to problems of basic
policy and to liaison between the City and the general public. Councilmen
should be concerned, not only with the conduct of its affairs, but also
with the long-range development of the City. Councilmen should study
long-range economic .and population trends affecting the City, suggesting
policies to help the City cope with and take advantage of such trends.
Also, the council is the City's board of review for assessment
purposes.
J
Relationship between the Park-Planning Advisory Commissions, Elected
Officials and Staff - \
Under state statutes it is clear that City's may establish Park-
Planning Commission as advisory to the governing body. We in essence
by council action have created both as well as a Park-Planning department
within the jurisdiction of the Manager and staff. By statute again,
the commissions should be advisory to the department through its director
(assigned by Manager), with the director accepting their advice and
submitting it to the council. He may also submit his recommendation if
different than the commissions to the city council. It should not be
surprising that the director and the commissions might disagree on some
items. In reality, however, it is unlikely that the staff and commission
will often disagree. In fact, in order to effectively develop and im-
plement programs it is important that a good rapport be established betweeen
the council, staff and commissions. .
Recommendations
A. City Council
1. To fulfill our council obligations as outlined and perform accord-
ing to the statutes of Plan B.
2. Police, Fire Problems - Any problem should be referred directly
to the City Manager. If constituents call us on a specific
problem also ask them to contact City Manager or designated
member of the staff that may be capable of resolving problem.
-3-
."
.
3. Personnel p~oblems - refer direct~ to City Man~ger.
4. Sewer, Water, Street Improvement 'projects - Allchan~est
deletion, additions ~~st be directed to the City Resident
Engineer. If a change occurs above one thousand dollars or
'aggregate total.the change shall be in the form of a change
order and submitted to the council for their approval. No
change can be authorized by any individual member of the council.
5. Sewer, Water, Park and street maintenance problems - Any
maintenance problem should be referred to the City Manager.
Again if a constituent calls, urge them to call the City Manager
or designated member of the staff so that the problem can be
explained first hand.
B. Park-Planning, Council and Staff
1. The staff should assume full responsibility of providing necessary
communication between the Park Board, Planning Commission and .
City Council. This would involve all regular reports to the
City Council concerning parks and planning as well as relating
existing council policy on specific iss1)es to both boards~.
2. Staff recommendations to the Planning Commission-Board of
Adjustment and the Park Board should he available prior to all
regularly scheduled meetings. These reports should accompany
each Planning Commission and Park Board recommendation to the
City Council.
3. The Staff Planner works with, nor for the Park and Planrrlng
Commissions.
- -
.
r
.
4. If there is a disagreement between the staff and commission, bq~~;;.."
recommendations should be forwarded to the City Council.
5. Ih~ Park and Planning Commissioners have no authority to give
directives to any City personnal, unless it is through the Manager
or formal action by the City Council.
6. The Park and Planning Commissions should formulate ideasJ
objectives and goals, submit them to staff, who in turn shall
draft the plans and submit said recommendation to the council.
7. That the Mayor and/or city councilmen should not be permitted
to vote on any issue before either Park or Planning Advisory
Commissions. One benefit would be the immediate elimination
of ex-officio members actually making recommendations to them-
-4-
,~
selves. It also will minimize duplicate preliminary work done by
council members and the staff person assigned to each ,board.
, .-
8. If a councilman or Mayor cannot attend a meeting, they should notify
the chai~man of designated staff that they will not be present.
- -
Amendments to the ordinance would be necessary to accomplish item #7.

Summary Findings
1. Cultural park system objective is lacking
I ! · The potential exists for this expression but is totally
lac ing within the park and recreation open spaces available.
2. Ornamentation is the other park objective that is almost totally
lacking within the present park and recreation open space plans.
I
3. Geographical distribution of facilities varies markedly within
the co~munity. At present much of the city has no ornamentation.
4. Park sites are small, fragmented and scattered, a fact which
reduces program and maintenance effectiveness, and value of the
total system impact upon the community.
5. Present park and community facilities are readily accessable
by means of the collector and arterial street system within the city.
6. Total park area must increase with the population. (15-20 acres
G':'1000 pop.)
Summary Recommendations
1. Total park area must increase, as we are a growing community
and must grow with to meet the needs of present and future residents.
2. Present park sites should be programmed to provide a more efficient
and comprehensivepark system. Park development propsals will in-
clude ornamentation, culture and conservation elements to create
a total park system.
3. To provide a total park system that will serve future generations
and potential recreation changes, the city will have reserve capacity.
4. Small, unusable, and inconsistent park dedications should be
avoided. The present parks that fall into this catagory should be
increaded in size or reprogrammed.
~5. To provide the city with adequate facilities and open space,
joint school and park programming is a must.
cont. pg. 2
6. Present play apparatus is obsolete and unchallenging. More
sophisticated play enviorments must be created.
7. Scenic easement acquisition must begin immediately to strenghten
and tie together present park and trail system.
8. To preserve the high quality and pleasing character of the
park system, there must be a commitment to maintenance and pro-
gramming by the city.

Recommendations
1. A complete park program must be the focus of action, and a
complete program includes five factors: 1. purpose
2. participation
3. personnel
4. progression
5. physical facilities (basis
site improvements thru gardens,
fountains, etc.)
2. Acquisition-
1. scenic easement rites
2. 16 acres @ 1000 pop.
3. Public and private interests should be stimulated within total
park system.
4. Conservation areas should be acquired.
5. Ornamentation to develop park character is a must.
6. Reserve capacity.
7. Domination by recreational facilities must be prevented through
effective assimilation within an ornamental park.
8. Joint coordination and programming between school and park system
will provide considerabily more facilities and better programs at
less cost for both.
9. Dedication or acquisition of small parcels must be avoided.
10. Active field games should be concentrated in major open areas
whenever possible to provide effective coordinated program planning
and adquate visual and physical seperation from adjacent land uses.
11. Maintenance of facilities requires more manpower, more machines,
and more material, equaling more money.
12. Specific detailed plans should be made for the followin~ sites;
Lakefront Community Park, Sand Point Beach Park, Green Briar, and
all of the neighborhood parks in Prior Lake.
13. Present play apparatus is inaquate. A creative play enviorment
must be developed.

TO: Prior Lake City Council
FROM: Park Board
RE: Island View Park Dedication
DATE: April 29, 1976
After considerable discussion, the unanimous conCensus of the
board was to continue the rejection of the proposed dedication
for the following reasons.
1. Approximately 50% of land area is under the 904' elevation
level and consequently is under water seasonally.
2. The site is located at the intersection of two arterials,
or future arterials, roadways which do.- not meet neighborhood
park criteria.
3. The planned county trail system comes no closer than about
three blocks from the site.
4. Site shape is long and narrow - lends itself to park uses
only with difficulty.
5. This particular dedication does not give consideration to
future park planning on remainder of Island View property.
The Park Advisory Board recommends that cash be taken in lieu
of land. The cash deqication for Island View is $7500.00.

Legal aspects of lifeguarding
Judges in various states have found owners, operators, supervisors or
lifeguards legally liable for drownings in all of the following situations:
where (1) there was failure to provide a lifeguard; (2) although lifeguards
were provided, they were found to be insufficient in number or insufficiently
skilled; (3) the operators failed to provide resuscitation equipment or per-
sons skilled in artificial respiration; (4) the lifeguards, although suf-
ficient in number and properly qualified, were in attentive; (5) it was
shown that the proper efforts were not undertaken or were not undertaken
promptly; (6) the lifeguard failed to prevent boisterous play.
The question of responsibility more often involves personal injury rather
than death. Courts have repeatedly found the operator or lifeguard liable
in these situations, amoung others: where (1) a diver injures a swimmer
by striking him (this is perhaps the most dramatic and common example of the
effects of lack of controlover the patrons by the lifeguard on duty;these
are not C2ses of a spontaneous leap into the water by a patron but are sub-
stantiated by testimony of consistent and continued lock of control by the
personel on duty) (~. there is continued running, ~~shing and horseplay
(here again the lifeguard has the affirmative duty of controlling the patrons
. .
so that they do not hurt themselves or others>; (3) there is defective play
equipment.

CITY OF
PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA 55372
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mike McGuire, City Manager
FROM: Charles Tooker, City Planner
SUBJECT: Park and Planning Administration
DATE: March 22, 1976
After the original zoning and subdivison ordinances were adopted,
the City developed a staff capability which should have relieved
some of the burden of being a member of the Park Board, Planning
Commission and City Council. The reasons that it has not may
involve the uneven performance of the staff at first, plus an
inability of citizen members to accomodate subtle changes in
administrative patterns. However, the City does have strong support
from the staff in park and planning administration and should take
steps to use it more efficiently. In general, the continued need
for City Council Commissioners responsible for parks and planning is
questionable since the staff now provides continuity between these
agencies of government. I would suspect that the same is true for
the areas of engineering and finance. Other changes should involve
the advisory function of both the staff and the citizen board or
commission. As a practical matter, the City has invested in a group
of professionals to advise the Council, but occasionally the advice
does not go all the way because procedures have not been outlined.
The following are some suggestions you may like to use for staff
discussion prior to making specific administrative recommendations
to the City Council.
1. The staff should assume full responsibility of providing necessary
conmrunication between the Park Board, Planning Commission"and
City Council. This would involve all regular reports to the City
Council concerning parks and planning as well as relating existing
council policy on specific issues to both boards. One benefit
would be the immediate elimination of exofficio members actually
making recommendations to themselves. It also will minimize
duplicate preliminary work done by council members and the staff
person assigned to each board.
2. Staff recommendations to the Planning Commission-Board of Adjust-
ment and the Park Board should be available the Friday prior to
all regularly scheduled meetings. These reports should accompany
each Planning Commission and Park Board recommendation to the City
Council. The added scope of a written staff recommendation should
benefit the written record of City Council since the Planning
Commission-Board of Adjustment input for example, will cite those
THE CENTER OF LAKE COUNTRY
portions of the reports contributing to its reconunendation. This
procedure can be adapted to the special circumstance involving
conditional uses, zoning amendments, subdivisions and planned unit
development projects and their annual review. The staff should
prepare in outline a series of check lists for each procedure which
can be used both by applicants as well as Planning Conunission members.
Special attention should be given to variances since they only go
to City Council if not approved by the Planning Conunission. It would
appear that the record for granting variances is extremely liberal
in Prior Lake and the Planning Conunission-Board of Adjustment has
succeeded in a series of "defacto" amendments to the ordinance.
Staff interpretation of the wording on page 27 should be as carefully
weighed as a requested legal opinion. If a decision to deny is
completely repellent to the Board of Adjustment, the ordinance should
be amended. Development flexibility 6n individual lots should
be availabi!.e to everyone in Prior Lake. Currently only those who
request variances are able to do more with their property than their
neighbors.
3. Two amendments should be considered at this time. The first would
strike the words - Mayor and/or City Councilman as voting members-
from the Board of Adjustment. This will help eliminate the dupli-
cation of efforts described in #1. The second is entirely unrelated
to this memo but has come up :Ln City Council deliberations on how to
zone recently annexed land. Add as follows:
1.8 Vested Right: Nothing in this Ordinance shall be interpreted
or construed to give rise to any permanent vested rights in the
continuation of any particular use, district, zoning classification
or any permissible activities therein, and, they are hereby declared
to be subject to subsequent amendment, change or modification as may
be necessary to the preservation or protection of public health,
safety and welfare.
4. The staff relationship to the Park Board should be that of "Executive
Director" and Board. The staff should develop the program and policy
for park acquisition and development in the form of a capital im-
provement program. The program should be reviewed by the Park Board
and forwarded with conunent to the City Council for action. Currently,
professional expertise is used only to outline concepts for public
response. The actual development process does not efficiently use
the staff capabilities, in that Board Members appear to be doing
staff work rather than providing the needed overview.

Dear Mr. Arnold,
The Council, at their August 9th meeting, voted to repeal the
ordinance creating the Park Board. As you know, the City has recently
hired a park planner who is able to tend to the day to day park related
functions and also pursue long range studies. The' avenue of input by
citizens will be at regular scheduled council meetings under the heading
of "Park and Recreation" on the agenda.
I would like to express, in behalf of the City of Prior Lake and myself
our gratitude and appreciation for your voluntary work and contribution
to the City of Prior Lake. Your interest in the City and in citizen
participation in the form of the Park B()ard is very commendable. 1_
sincerely hope your interest ill'..particlpat'llig in community service
oriented functions does not fade. I would appreciate a call if you
have any uncompleted projects that you have been working on.
Sincerely,

Dear Wally,
Please consider this as my letter of resignation from
the Prior Lake Planning Advisory Board.
I have sincerely enjoyed the challenge and the oppor-
tunity that serving on this body for several years has
given me. I think that a person who goes through life
without having such an o~por~unity Is missing an awful
lot.
The city of Prior Lake Is blessed with a wonderful and
talented group of city staff people, and they are a
pleasure to work with.
I sincerely hope that the future years Indicate that
the planning decisions that we have made since I have
been on the Board were wise ones. I am confident that
they have been.
The three remaining members and the newly appointed
member of the Board are very fine and dedicated people
who will assuredly continue with the good direction
that they now have in planning our community. It will
definitely be my pleasure to be able to still have
some contact with the Planning Board as a City Council-
man.
Si nc ere)y yours ,7
