Members present were Doug Berens, Ron Ceminsky, Pat Heaney, and Kathy Smith. Art Schoot was absent. Staff members present were Bill Mangan, Director of Parks and Recreation, and Nancy McGill, Secretary of Parks and Recreation. PAT HEANEY MADE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE MINUTES FROM THE MARCH 8, 1993 MEETING. RON CEMINSKY SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Chair Berens asked for staff reports from Bill Mangan. Mangan indicated that Parks Advisory Committee interviews are scheduled for Thursday, April 15 with Mayor Andren, City Manager, Frank Boyles, Bill Mangan, and Doug Berens being present to conduct the interviewing. Would like to make recommendations to the City Council at the April 19 council meeting, and hopefully will have two new members for the May meeting. Ron Ceminsky suggested that the City send Kathe Abrams a letter confirming her resignation from the Parks Advisory Committee. The committee were in agreement. Next item covered by Bill Mangan was the proposal made to the Lion's Club on March 18th regarding a 20 acre parcel off of the Industrial Park site for purchase and develo~ment of youth athletic play fields. The land acquisit10n costs were approximately $125,000; development costs being approximately $60,000. The Lion's met April 5th and decided to table this until some time in June due to the dollar commitment over a five year period. Ron Ceminsky asked if if there were other options if this doesn't materialize. Bill Mangan indicated that another option would be the Redi-Mix site located on County Road 44 and Franklin Trail. The Lion's Club will be electing a new president in July, and will depend on his direction at that time. There was some discussion. Doug Berens then asked for New Business. Bill Mangan indicated that he would like a recommendation from the Parks Advisory Committee to consider a new policy of 51% resident requirement for adult softball leagues. This means that teams that have a 51% residency (live or work in Prior Lake) would have priority in gettin9 into the league. Those members who do not live within the c1ty limits but who do live within the school district boundaries will be considered as part of the 51%. Bill did a pole of the surrounding communities and stated that many communities required a 100% residency requirement. Lakeville, Savage, and 4629 Dakota 51. 5.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372 / Ph.

Parks Advisory Committee Minutes - April 12, 1993 - Page 2 Burnsville have the 51% requirement. 51% means that at least II members of the team must live or work within the city limits and/or live within the school district boundaries; and other members would be required to pay the additional $5.00 non-resident fee. Some discussion followed. PAT HEANEY MADE A MOTION THAT THE PARKS ADVISORY COMMITTEE MOVE FOR STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL THAT ALL ADULT ATHLETIC TEAMS MUST HAVE A MINIMUM OF 51% OF THEIR ROSTER MADE UP OF PLAYERS WHO EITHER LIVE OR WORK A MINIMUM OF 30 HOURS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY OF PRIOR LAKE. THOSE RESIDENTS WHO DO NOT LIVE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS BUT WHO DO LIVE WITHIN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT BOUNDARIES WILL BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE 51%. HOWEVER, THOSE RESIDENTS WHO DO NOT LIVE OR WORK WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS WILL BE ASSESSED THE $5 NON-RESIDENT FEE. THOSE TEAMS MEETING THE MINIMUM OF 51% ELIGIBILITY WILL BE ADMITTED INTO THE LEAGUE. THOSE TEAMS WHO DO NOT MEET THE MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENT WILL BE ALLOWED INTO THE LEAGUES ON A "SPACE AVAILABLE" BASIS. RON CEMINSKY SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY. Next item was the review of Woodridge Estates, Second Addition. Bill Mangan indicated that Phase II will include a 6 acre neighborhood park (comparable to Raspberry Ridge Park). There will be trails along Toronto as well as a 6 foot walkway to The Pond with open play area. Kathy Smith suggested that the open play area be used for soccer for the smaller age group. Bill felt this was a good possibility. This park will be budgeted for capital development next year (1994). The park will be graded at the same time as the site and hoping to work and seed the park area this Fall. Pat Heaney asked what the status was on Cardinal Heights (Sienna Corporation). Bill Mangan indicated that it is back on the drawing board; nothing submitted yet. Kathy Smith asked what the status was on the McDonald property. Bill said that the purchase has been made and that the reimbursements should be received shortly. Felt the three conceptual plans should be reviewed at the May meeting. There was some discussion. ...--..

The celebration will be held on April 23 at Westwood in the morning. Bill invited the PAC members to attend. Rather than planting trees at Five Hawks this year, Dar Fosse would like to landscape (with shrubbery and rock) a hill that has an erosion problem. Nothing has been finalized due to how this will be financed. The committee was wondering why other schools don't get involved with this program. Bill felt it depended upon the teachers; those interested in organizing fundraisers, etc. The next item on the agenda was to discuss the Girl Scouts Adopt-A-Park program. A Kick-off (hot dog picnic) is tentatively scheduled for May 22 for the Girl Scouts to plant flowers in the various neighborhood parks (possibly nine different park sites plus Memorial Park). Ron ceminsky asked if garbage cans could be installed along County Road 21. Bill indicated that the DNR discourages cans because they are subject to vandalism. Kathy smith said that we should look into wire cans that attach to the light posts. Ron Ceminsky County Road will be done Fall. Doug Berens suggested that the committee have another bus tour of the parks. B1ll Mangan said that this would probably be scheduled in June and coordinate it with the Council Members; perhaps on a Monday with a picnic at Memorial preceding the tour. asked when the stop light on Franklin Trail and 21 was planning to go in. Bill said that bidding late this Summer with installation being early Doug Berens also asked if the committee could have a tour of the parks maintenance shop and greenhouse/nursery. Bill thought it would be good to schedule this in May; sometime before the plants are put out. Pat Heaney asked the status of the trail along Main Avenue. Bill indicated that the pro~ect should be completed this Spring; however not sure if wl11 be done for the same price quoted last Fall. Doug Berens status of earlier in develop. asked for Old Business. Bill indicated that the future subdivisions had already been covered somewhat the meeting. Bill will present new plans as they ,.,." ~"~_'_<+~"_""_"_'" ~.,_._--~t~'''.. --.. ...._'"..--+t~'''w.. d, ,._~.~- --..--..-.....--.--.....---r--------...... .. . ............- ...-........ .. Parks Advisory Committee Minutes - April 12, 1993 - Page 4 Ron Ceminsky suggested that some of the Boy Scout Trou~s or Girl Scout Troups could possibly Adopt-A-Trail. Bill ind1cated that this program is listed in the Prior Lake Donor Catalog whereby a trail can be adopted for maintenance or donate funds towards construction of trails. The Parks area has been the only recipient to date. Youth groups are always looking for civic projects and he will direct them to the clean-up of trails, etc. The next item of Old Business was the Spring activities in Recreation Department. The Spring Dance Recital will be held on May 1 & 2. Also, the Parks Department is gearing up for summer activities; hiring of playground leaders, beach attendants, and lifeguards; hoping to have this finalized by May 1st. Fritz Shimota was hired in the Maintenance Department effective April 5. There was some discussion on changing the date of the May Parks Advisory meeting. The next meeting date will be on Monday, May 24. A MOTION WAS MADE BY KATHY SMITH TO ADJOURN THE MEETING. THE MOTION WAS SECONDED BY RON CEMINSKY. MOTION CARRIED.
