MEMO
January 10, 1996
TO: joint Parks/Council Workshop Participants
FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Open Space Preservation
The Parks and Recreation Commission has expressed concern that some of the few
remaining significant vacant parcels of land in the City of Mendota Heights should be
examined to determine if they should be preserved for parks or open space. Staff has thus
prepared a packet of maps showing the remaining "significant' vacant parcels of land.
The criteria used for selecting these parcels were as follows:
1. Staff considered vacant parcels roughly 2 acres in size or greater.
2. Staff considered parcels which were adjacent to existing park land or other municipal
property.
3. Staff considered existing. Cemetery property where the owner had expressed an
interest in development.
Please see the attached information compiled by Engineering Technician Guy Kullander.

TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Guy Kullander, Parks Project Manager
SUBJECT: Inventory of Land Parcels Suitable for Future Pazk Land/Facilities
Improvements
The Commission directed that an inventory of undeveloped and underdeveloped parcels
of land within the City be made so that the Commission could identify those parcels, that when
they come up for sale, should be considered for acquisition into the City park system.
Included among the specific site drawings are graphics of various existing facilities
where improvements to the existing facilities could expand the number of playable fields for
use within the City.

Mendakota Golf Course
The Commission may want to discuss uses for and priorities of these sites prior to the
joint workshop with the City Council.
The Mendota Elemetry School contains two youth size
softball fields and an informal youth soccer field.
Improvements to these three fields would allow a "higher"
leveI of play that could relieve the pressure and demand
on other fields in the City. The maximum use for
these fields is youth play only. No room available
to expand outfields. The existing level of maintenance
provided by the School District is not adaquate and
City crews often have to prepare fields for MHAA use.
Backstops, safety fencing and players benches are
needed.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
January 10, 1996
TO: Joint Parks/Council Workshop Participants
FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: North Kensington Park
The Council has expressed concern with the "backyard" concept of North Kensington
Park previously approved by the residents, the Parks and Recreation Commission, and the
Council, and now wishes to revisit the design of the park to see if a more traditional
"formal" concept would be more appropriate. The Council had further requested that this
item be placed on the agenda for the Joint Workshop with the Parks and Recreation
Commission.
The advent of the new Friendly Hills Middle School scheduled to open for academic year
1997 has brought some new potential considerations to the design of North Kensington
Park. This new Middle School will increase traffic in the area of Mendota Heights Road
and Huber Drive. It may also cause significant pedestrian traffic from the Centex
development to the Middle School.
If it is determined that changes should be made to the current design of North Kensington
Park, the Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission may wish to consider
notifying the neighboring residents and/or soliciting their input through one or more of the
following means:
• a Public Hearing
• a Neighborhood Meeting
• an Open House
• a Neighborhood Survey
Staff intends to place this item on the Parks and Recreation Commission agenda for
February, and then take it to Council. This will enable Staffto finalize plans on the park.
Please see the attached information compiled by Engineering Technician Guy Kullandec.
To date construction cost are approximately $12,000 for
the transportation of the stone blocks and the construction
of the overlook. The budget for the remaining work is $A.tbC
$6,000 for prairie grasses and plants: $5 to $6,000 for trees,
shrubs, and planting beds: $2,000 for placing stone blocks for
benches and walls, and $3,000 for regular sod and turf areas.
Total construction costs should be around $28 or $29,000.
ACTION REQUIRED
If the Commission wishes to proceed with the completion
of this project as outlined above knowing that all costs will
come from the Special Park Fund they indicate there approval
of allocating Special Park Funds for all remaining costs of
this project.
Note: Attached for the Commissioners are concept graphics
showing showing Joni Giese original concept (Drg. #1),
and the staff alternate plan (Drg.s #2 & #3) with
the reduced grading and pond reshaping.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
January 10, 1996
TO: Joint Parks/Council Workshop Participants
FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Staff Workload and the Priority of Parks Projects
The Parks and Recreation Commission has expressed the concern that their priorities have
taken a "back seat" to other City needs. Our Recreation Programmer is the only
individual on City Staff who's sole responsibility is Parks and Recreation items. The other
two Staff members typically involved, the Engineering Technician and the Administrative
Assistant, have to strike a balance between Parks and Recreation activities and other City
needs. One-fourth of the Administrative Assistant's time is supposed to be dedicated to
Parks and Recreation concerns.
CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
January 10, 1996
TO: Joint Parks/Cmull Workshop Participants
FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Ballfield Capacity
Discussion
The Council, at their regularly scheduled meeting on July 2, 1996 decided not to authorize
Staff to proceed with a bidding process for lights at Mendakota Field, but reserved the
option of placing lights at Mendakota Field at some time in the future. This vote
temporarily resolved several month's worth of discussion on the ballfield lights issue,
which included the formation of a Mendakota Lights Task Force which produced a
Findings of Fact.
Dr. John Norton, on behalf of the Mendota Heights Athletic Association, has since met
with Staff. Dr. Norton continues to maintain that there is a shortage of ballfield capacity
for use by MHAA youth.
Tournament Use for Lights at Mendakota Park
From the City's Parks and Recreation standpoint, lighting the fields at Mendakota Park
would greatly expand the programming opportunities for field usage, particularly in the
area of tournaments. Lit fields at Mendakota would attract open, regional and state
tournaments to the area for both youth and adults. These tournaments would create
revenues for the City and for businesses within the community while showcasing the
facilities we have in Mendota Heights.
In the past year, the City has been approached to host 4 regional youth tournaments, 3
regional adult tournaments, and 1 state adult tournament. Due to lack of lighting at
Mendakota, we were able to hold 2 of the youth tournaments with scaled down schedules
but none of the adult tournaments.
The tournament revenue possibilities of having lights could help to pay for the lights and, _
in the long run, help to subsidize the cost of park maintenance and recreation
programming City-wide. c

BALLFIELD LIGHTS Council acknowledged a memo from City Administrator Batchelder
regarding consideration of a request for ballfield lights at Mendakota
park and updating Council on task force and Parks and Recreation
Commission discussions on the request. Council also acknowledged
receipt of the following information: "Findings of the Ballfield
Lights Task Force for Mendakota Park;" 1996 Mendakota Park
field schedule; other Mendota Heights park field use information;
MHAA field use information; a 1996 Mendota Heights softball team
status report; census and enrollment information for Independent
School District 197; a letter from Dr. John Norton on MHAA youth
programs and participation; information from Parks Project Manager
Kullander on ballfield development costs and possible site locations;
a memo from Dr. Norton and Adult Softball Representative Jim
Kilburg; a petition from the Mendakota neighborhood in opposition
to lights; letters in opposition to lighting from Mr. & Mrs. Oliver
`Courtemanche, Ms. Mary Lou Johnson, Mr. & Mrs. Don
Harrington, Mr. & Mrs. Fred Lambrecht, Mr. Donald McMillan, Mr.
& Mrs. Fred Erickson, Mr. Christopher Scotti, Mr. Richard Gabriel,
and Mr. Bernard Friel; and a letter from Mr. John Carl, Jr.
Regarding the findings of the Ballfield Task Force.
Dr. John Norton, baseball commissioner for MHAA, responded to
the points in the opposition petition. He stated that one of the
original issues was the light shining out too far, another was that the
softball players are loud or rowdy. In response to the light spillage
issue, he showed a video on lighted fields. He explained that the
lower the poles, the more light spills out, which is why
modifications are made, with internal baffles to bounce light down
and hoods to keep light from shining above. He stated that the video
also showed that lighting can be done without interfering with the
neighborhoods. Regarding the behavior of the softball players, he
stated that they do not have a big following and are not rowdy or

the petition that enforcement is poor, he stated that he feels the
police department does a great job, as is evidenced by the baseball

the middle school in 19981 they will have to be shared with the
soccer teams.
Councilmember ICrebsbach asked how many more fields would
satisfy the need if lighting is not installed.
Dr. Norton responded that lighting at Mendakota would allow ten to
twelve more games per week. He explained that adding the middle
school fields will not resolve the problems because bigger fields are
needed as there are children in the fourteen year old group coming
up. He informed Council that the VFW and legion teams also use
the Sibley site. He stated that his feeling is why build new fields
when there are fields at Mendakota and a new shift could be added if
there were lights.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the opposition to the lights is whether
all possibilities have bee explored. He stated that people have asked
about options and the land north of T.H. 110 has been suggested for
possible fields. He felt that the site is not appropriate and pointed
out that it has been held by Mn/DOT for road purposes and the city
would have to purchase the land. He did not think the site is a viable
option. The stated that it was suggested that the National Guard
could perhaps do the grading for the fields, as it would have done on
the Resurrection Cemetery site, but it would not be possible for them
to use their large equipment at the Freeway Road site. He informed
he audience that Council is also looking at possibly trying to
acquire land south of Mendota Heights Road across from St.
Thomas but that is guided for office park. He stated that the
developer of the property wants to use the land for office warehouse
and Council does not want that use across from a school, but the
$4.00 per square foot asking price for the land would be a
tremendous cost. He did not think that timing is right for a bond
issue given that the school district just received bond issue approval
for two schools. He stated that another issue is whether the existing
fields are being fully utilized. He informed the audience that
Council must also wrestle with the need for a full-time recreation
director. He stated that Council wants to keep property taxes down
and does not want to increase the tax rate. Mayor Mertensotto stated
that Council needs to know what the MHAA demands are and
whether they are factual - Council must know that the MHAA
numbers are accurate and then must see what options are available.
He informed the audience that Council has talked to the
He felt that the excess cemetery property would be a good place for
a pinwheel design, there would be no concern over lights, and the
881" Air Command would do the site preparation work for the city.
Page No. 13
July 2, 1996
Mayor Mertensotto stated that with the amount of attention directed
to the issue, it would behoove Council to ask MHAA to make every
effort possible to adjust its schedules or find all of the fields that are
available. He further stated that if all avenues have been explored,
then he feels youth should have the priority for the Mendakota
fieIds. He asked that MHAA give Council some breathing room to
look at options and fields. He stated that utilization of fields has to
be greater, both at Sibley and Mendakota, and that perhaps the city
must get more involved in discussions with the school district and
MHAA. He felt that the school district should give MHAA field
space since children in the district but outside of Mendota Heights
are included in the MHAA programs.
Responding to a question from Councilmember Krebsbach, Dr.
Norton stated that the baseball season runs from the second week in
May to July 20, but the traveling teams play into August.
Mr. John Eide, a resident on Swan Court, stated that he has spoken
to the South St. Paul police department a few weeks ago and went
on patrol with them. He stated that the police gave him detail on
McMorrow field and the officers told him that the fields are out of
control and they cannot respond to all of the calls that come in about
the fields.
Councihnember Huber stated that he has spoken to Police Chief
Delmont today, and to the chief s knowledge there has never been
any problem at the Mendakota fields.
Mrs. Edgar stated that she has called several times about teams
drinking at Mendakota and the police do not respond. She further
stated that when she drove by the field at 8:30 there were 60 people
drinking in the parking lot.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that if the police are not responding,
Council can control that. He directed Administrator Batchelder to
notify the police chief of the accusation that the police are not
responding.
Its.
Edgar stated that MHAA says there is so much pressure on the
fields, yet when she was at a Sibley field on the nights of May 20
and 23 and June 3, there were four fields open.

there is solid information on the number of children participating in
the program and information from the school district and some
information on scheduling, but there is no information on what
games are actually being played. He stated that it is not up to the
Council to answer those questions, but rather, the burden of proof is
on the MHAA.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that Council has to rely on the people
who are doing the scheduling. He explained that the issue has
become emotional, and a good decision cannot be made - Council
will ask the MHAA to do everything that Mr. Black has asked
including jockeying the scheduling and getting better utility of all
the fields including the school district fields.
Mr. Black stated that MHAA really does not want lights, it wants
fields. He noted that MHAA has six games a week at Mendakota
now and under the proposal expects to get 16 games a week at
Mendakota. He felt that if MHAA is only talking about ten games a
week, Council should take a hard look at that when considering
spending so much money.
Responding to a question from Mrs. Edgar, Administrator
Batchelder reviewed city regulations on the use of beer in the parks
as well as the 1995 softball league rules on beer at games.
Mr. Dave Dreelan, 785 Creek, stated that he has played softball at
Mendakota ever since the fields were built and has never been at the
fields past 9:30. He further stated that all of the players are
responsible and do not sit in the parking lot drinking beer after
games. He stated that the team sponsors ask the teams to come to
their establishments after the games. He informed Council that if a
squad car came through the area at 10:00 and told people that the
park is closed, everyone would leave. He explained that players are
not even allowed to drink beer during the games, and beer drinking
just does not happen. He asked Council to make its decision based
on what is best for the community as a whole. He stated that he
lives near the fields and even though lights would affect him he
would like to see lights so that the fields can be used.
Mr. rank Freedman, 906 Mendakota Court, a member of the task
force, stated that the solution to the problem for MHAA is not more
fields like Mendakota but more 90 foot base paths. He stated

not add capacity where the association needs it. He explained that
Dr. Norton stated that the need is for 90 foot base paths many times
at the task force meetings. He also pointed out that Mendakota is not

stated that he does not support hat position and does not want to be
put in the position of having to choose. He stated that he would
have a very hard time throwing the adult teams out of Mendakota to
let the youth use the fields. He felt that Council needs to solve the
problem, not by favoring one group over another but by trying to
accommodate both groups. He stated that Council needs more
information and have the MHAA information stratified by age to see
where the program is going, and to get statistics on the 10 to 14 year
olds in order to match up the youths to the fields. He informed
Council and the audience that he visited Lorraine Park in South St.
Paul, which was just lit. He explained that the lights are turned off
at about 10:20 and there was definitely some overlap of light to the
homes in the area. He reviewed the impact of the lights on nearby
homes and stated that he would like to go to a complex where all
four fields are lit. He encouraged everyone who has an interest in
the issue to go out and look at light fields. Councilmember Huber
pointed out that Council needs to get the facts from the police
department on calls it has received and it must also get the facts on
need. He stated that Mendakota Park is a community park and he
does not think it is financially viable to acquire land and build more
fields. He felt that future demand will have to be absorbed at
Mendakota Park, which may mean lights or which may mean
putting on city staff to coach teams so that they can start earlier. He
was not in favor of saying no to adult teams or to the youth who
have outgrown other fields.
Councihnember Smith stated that she was disappointed to find
through all of the discussions that the data and the conclusions from
the data are inconclusive. She further stated that there are no
definite conclusions or even any agreement on the data, which leads
her to conclude that she could not support lights at this time. She
pointed out that once a decision is made for lighting it cannot be
taken back and before Council even gets to that point it must
consider the land use issue. She felt that whatever standards are
developed must be applicable across the community, to the school
district or any other facilities. She pointed out that once people see
lights one place Council would have a very difficult time justifying a
negative decision for others - Council must define the parameters
and find something that would be acceptable to the community. She
feIt that a decision on lights at this time would limit Council's
options.
figures for a new complex were based on a park similar to
Mendakota, but that would not necessarily be required to meet the
current needs. She felt that there is a big difference in circumstances

work with Dr. Norton and the softball representatives to try to take
the information they have and try to help them put it into a
presentation that would be more informative on how teams match up
with field sizes and how many children are at each age. He stated
that the loudest message heard this evening is that there has been no
case made for need.
Councihnember Krebsbach pointed out the importance of keeping
the MHAA a viable organization.
Councilmember Koch stated that it almost sounds as if Council is
disregarding the task force information but that is not the case. She
stated that Council is asking for factual information but must be
specific on what it is asking for. She informed the audience that just
because she would not vote for lights tonight does not mean she will
never vote for them. She stated that Council must get answers to the
very specific questions and must continue the dialogue.
Councilmember Smith stated that her disappointment is not with the
taA force but that the process did not give Council a resolution to
the problem.
RECESS Mayor Mertensotto called a recess at 11:03 p.m. The meeting was
reconvened at 11:17 p.m.
'Councilmember Koch was excused from the meering.
SUBWAY OUTDOOR EATING Council acknowledged a memo from Administrative Intern Hollister
in regard to a request from Mr. Curt Heller, owner of the Mendota
Plaza Subway, for authorization to place six tables with four chairs
each immediately outside of the Subway for his customers. Mr.
Heller was present for the discussion.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that when Ziggy's made the same request,
the issue was whether Council should consider amending the
shopping center's conditional use permit. He informed Mr. Heller
that Council instead granted Ziggy's a temporary, experimental
permit to allow outdoor seating until October 15'". He explained that
Council told Ziggy's owner that if there were any complaints or
there is any debris resulting from the outdoor seating, or if people
are not able to walk in front of the stores, Council would terminate
the permit. He asked how Mr. Heller's request would work out
Mr. Heller responded that the tables would be under the canopy,
about two feet from the edge of the sidewalk. He stated that people

CITY OF MENDOTA IMGHTS
January 10, 1997
TO: Parks and Recreation Commission
FROM: Guy Kullander, Parks Project Manager AK
SUBJECT: Ballfield Lights at Mendakota Park
The Council had requested at their last meeting that staff provide a current cost estimate for
fights at Mendakota Ballfield Complex for the workshop with the Parks and Recreation
Commission. A state of the art lighting system providing adequate levels of light for
recreational play, that provides even illumination on the entire playing field and that mininims
the amount of light spillage outside the field area would cost approximately $220,000 to
240,000.
In 1990 the City received an estnnate to light the fields for $150,000. This assumed an
unimproved area (add 20% to estimate for restoration and obstacles) and did not include any
contingency (add 10 %) and did not factor in light spillage control. Updating this estimate
results in a figure close to the above estimate.
A lighting system for this park could be designed and installed for a substantial reduction of
the above estimates. Decreasing the number of light fixtures would cut costs, but result in less
light on the play area and some uneven lighting along the baseline or deep outfields. Such
design modifications could bring the costs in at $160,000 to $180,000,

January 9, 1997
To: Mayor, City Council and Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Kevin Batchelder, City Admini9)
Subject: Consideration of Full Time Recreation Programmer
INTRODUCTION
On several occasions over the last few years, the Parks and Recreation Commission has
recommended the establishment of a full-time Recreation Programmer to the City Council.
This item was placed in the proposed 1997 Budget as an add -level item for Council
consideration. Council discussed this issue at their November 19, 1996 meeting and directed
staff to keep the Recreation Programmer position at its current part time status for the 1997
Budget. The Parks and Recreation Commission would like to discuss this decision with City
Council and present their perspective and philosophy regarding recreation services.
At the November 19, 1996 meeting, a complete packet of information was provided to
City Council. (Please see attached November 15, 1996 memorandum to the City Council.)
This packet includes an inventory of programs offered by other community groups such as
MHAA, Community Education and neighboring cities.
This packet is being provided again this evening because the Parks and Recreation
Commission has not yet seen this information in one complete package. It is not being
provided for the purpose of debating the details of the budget, but for the purpose of providing
an equal background of information. City Council and the Commission should share their
perspectives on this issue and discuss establishing clear goals and expectations for the
provision of recreation services in Mendota Heights.
In addition, the Parks and Recreation Commission wanted the subject of cross country
skiing to be included for discussion. They have worked over the past year with city staff and
local school programs to address this issue.
Discuss
recreation services and the establishment of clear goals and expectations to
guide the provision of recreation services in Mendota Heights.
4. In order to avoid an open-ended and constantly expanding recreation program, outline
suggested parameters that would define the limitations of the program.
5. Outline the categories of residents that would be served.
6. Outline how our current Recreation Programmer uses existing resources.
7. Compare what recreation services other neighboring communities are providing, what
percentage of their levy they are devoting to recreation services, and what portion of
the general fund expenditures are devoted to the recreation budget.
8. Discuss the tax impact of the additional service that is proposed.
Parks and Recreation Commission
Staff has investigated these concerns and requests for information and has briefed the
Parks and Recreation Commission at their November 12, 1996 meeting. Based on that
discussion the Parks and Recreation Commission directed staff to prepare a memo to City
Council, under their signature, to answer some of the questions raised as listed above. (Please
see attached memo from the Parks and Recreation Commission dated November 13, 1996.)
The Commission has attempted to outline for City Council the benefits that they believe
would accrue to the City with an additional half time programmer. The Commission has listed
the additional programs that we would be able to consider, how many additional residents this
would serve and how this would serve each segment of our community.
Existing Programs
In order to avoid duplication of services within the community, Council desired to
examine an overview of programs provided by the City and other organizations within the
community. Attached you will find two documents entitled, one, Program Inventory of Other
Community Groups and, two, Recreation Program Summary. (Please see attached.)
These attached inventories and summaries include a listing of programs provided within
our community, those programs provided by neighboring communities (Eagan and West St.
Paul) and provides a breakdown of the segments of our population that are served, or would be
served.
It should be noted that our current program makes use of many joint ventures with
neighboring communities in northern Dakota County, particularly West St. Paul, South St.
Paul and Inver Grove Heights. Examples would include Safety Camp, Field Trips, Ski Trips,
and the S.P_?.R..?.T. prof_rnam. Each community takes turns hoFtine, orlparizin7 snd h3ndlirlln
registration for these events on a cooperative basis.
In addition to the existing two parameters, other suggested parameters could include:
The City will only offer as many recreation programs as one full time recreation
programmer can reasonably supply.
2. The City will attempt to cooperate with neighboring communities to offer joint
programs so that efficiencies are achieved through cooperation and economies of scale.
The Recreation Program will not become a "separate" department and will remain
within the Parks budget.
4. The advent of a full time position will allow the City to maximize the use of its
facilities, serve each segment of our population and to collaborate with existing service
providers such as neighboring communities, Community Education and MHAA.
RECOMMENDATION
The Parks and Recreation Commission, at their November 12, 1996 meeting,
recommended that City Council create a full time Recreation Programmer position in the 1997
City Budget.
If the City Council desires to implement the recommendation of the Parks and
Recreation Commission, they should pass a motion to create a full time Recreation
Programmer position in the 1997 City Budget and direct staff to prepare the budget for the
Truth in Taxation Hearing. City Council, if they so desire, should also establish program
parameters.

existing programs. Collaborative programs save everyone involved time and money,
resulting in rewarding outcomes for the community.

MEMO
January 10, mo
TO: Joint Parks/Council Workshop Participants
FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Format of the Workshop
The items on the agenda for this evening's meeting reflect the priorities of the Parks and
Recreation Commission as related to Staff at their regular meeting on December 10, 1996.
The Council had approved of this list of topics but requested that an additional item,
North Kensington Park, be placed upon the agenda. Staff has accommodated the
Council's request.
Per the Parks Commission's wishes, Staff has "allocated" 20 minutes for each item of
discussion. Obviously, many of these items merit much more detailed discussion, but the
20 minute limit was seen as a measure to keep the pace of the meeting moving. This
meeting can be most productive if it is seen as an opportunity to exchange views on
various topics and obtain some mutual understanding, rather than to hammer out the
details of any specific policy.
The Council had informed Staff that they intended to arrive at their usual meeting time of
7:30. The Parks and Recreation Commission had asked Staff to schedule the Commission
to arrive a half-hour earlier to get some formalities out of the way and to discuss some
issues. Thus Staff has scheduled the Parks and Recreation Commission to commence the
meeting at 7:00, with the Council joining at 7:30.
Staff has provided a considerable amount of information with this agenda. This
information is merely intended to generate some discussion and ideas, not to lead to
definitive conclusions.
Chairman Spicer had offered to chair this evening's meeting. The Council respectfully
declined the offer, saying that the Mayor should chair all joint workshops with
Commissions.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES
DECEMBER 10.1996
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Parks and Recreation Commission was held
on Tuesday, December 10, 1996, in the Large Conference Room at City Hall, 1101
Victoria Curve. The meeting was called to order at 6:30 PM.
The following Commissioners were present: Spicer, Libra Kleinglass, No, Damberg,
and Liberacki. Commissioner Linnell arrived late. Also present were Recreation
Programmer Chris Esser and Administrative Assistant Patrick C. Hollister,
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Commissioner Norton moved to approve the October 8, 1996 Minutes with corrections.
Commissioner Kleinglass seconded the motion.
AYES: 6
NAYS: 0
SUMMER UNDER THE SUN
(Commissioner Linnell arrived at this point.)
Bev Fritz of ISD 197 Community Education appeared before the Parks and Recreation
Commission to request that the City match West Saint Paul's contribution to the Summer
Under the Sun program for 1996. Ms. Fritz said that West Saint Paul had contributed
$2,930,20 for 1996, and that she is asking for a matching contribution from the City of
Mendota Heights.
Chairman Spicer pointed out that Staff had suggested the possibility of making any future
funding contribution from Mendota Heights proportional to the number of Mendota
Heights children involved in the program, since only 48 Mendota Heights children
participated in the program for 1996, as opposed to 72 children from West Saint Paul,
As.
Fritz responded that there was a possibility that the entire program may move to
Sibley High School beginning in 19975 since the "community center in West Saint Paul
was scheduled to be tom down. Ms. Fritz said that she anticipated that proportionally
more Mendota Heights children would be involved in the program once it had moved to
Sibley High School.
Commissioner
Spicer asked for a motion to recommend that the Council approve the
matching contribution to Summer Under the Sun for $2,930.20 for 1996, and make no
Chairman Spicer also asked what time the Council intended to arrive at the meeting
Mr. Hollister said that the Council had announced that they would arrive at 7:30, their
customary meeting time for Council meetings.
Chairman Spicer requested that Staff ask the Council if they would at least come at 7:00
so that the meeting would not go so late into the night.
Mr. Hollister said that he would pass on that request, but that he anticipated that the
Council would continue with their current plan to arrive at 7:30.
Chairman Spicer then directed Staff to schedule the Parks and Recreation Commissioners
to meet for a half-hour before the Council's arrival to discuss some issues.
The Commissioners then arrived at the following list of items to be discussed at the Joint
Workshop, in descending order of importance (beginning with the most important):
1. The Purpose and Role of the Pazks and Recreation Commission
• The Purpose of the Special Parks Fund
• Control over the Special Parks Fund
• The Possibility of the Parks Commission Meeting Less Frequently
2. Open Space Preservation
3. A Full -Time Recreation Programmer
• Future Programming Expectations
• Cooperative Recreation Programs with Other Organizations
• Cross -Country Ski Trails
4. Meeting Increasing Demand for Ballfields
• Creating New Ballfields
• Joint Arrangements with Other Cities, the School District, etc.
• Lights at Mendakota Ballfield Complex
5. Expansion of the Trail System
6. Staff Workload and the Priority of Parks Projects
The Commission also asked that a packet of information be prepazed by Staff and
provided to each participant in the workshop, including:

January 10, 1996
TO: Joint Parks/Council Workshop Participants
FROM: Patrick C. Hollister, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Expansion of the Trail System
The Parks and Recreation Commission has expressed concern that some of the gaps in our
existing trail system should be connected. The Commission has also felt that some of the
remaining vacant land in the City has the potential for trails which should be safeguarded
before these parcels are developed.
Staff has thus prepared the attached materials showing several possible opportunities to
expand or improve the trail system within Mendota Heights. The criteria used for this
selection were as follows:
Staff sought to complete trail "loops" by the construction of "missing" links to other
trail segments.
2. Staff sought to promote pedestrian access to significant destination points from
neighborhoods, such as schools, parks, and shopping.
3. Staff sought to increase pedestrian safety by constructing trails separated from motor
vehicle traffic where possible.
