The park is approximately acres in size and it is proposed that there will be field areas set up for pick up games of soccer, foo ball or baseball. In addition there will be a playstructure, three shelters, a hard court bas etball, parking lot and plantings. Adam Hawkinson also submitted sketches of a climbing maze hich he felt could be used in the Rolling Woods and Groveland parks. The estimated cost of the c imbing maze is $4,300. The Parks Commission questioned the liability for the City if that eq ipment was installed. Adam Hawkinson stated the structure was only 8' in height and required a 25'x23' protective area around it so he did not feel there was any greater liability risk to the City than here would be with any other type of equipment. The Parks Commission discussed the time fr me for the park development. Adam Hawkinson stated that the grading, seeding and play area would be done this year and the rest of the improvements would be done in phases. The parking area hown contains approximately sixty spaces and it was felt these would be used not only by residents in the development but also by cmployees of the nearby busincsses who would come to thc park durin their lunch hour.

The estimated cost of the play structure is $47000 which includes installation. Adam Hawkinson showed a drawing of the play structure which ncludes, 6 swings and a number of slides. The play structure is grcen and brown.

Other Hems: . -.

Parks Commission Minutes - 5/15/03 Commission for their review. NANCY MCCAFFREY MOVED TO CHANGE T E REGULAR MEETING DATE OF THE PARKS COMMISSION FROM THE THIRD TIIURSDA Y F THE MONTH TO THE FOURTH THURSDAY OF THE MONTH STARTING WITH THE JUNE FETING. RICK TRAVER SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY The Parks Commission then addressed three items th t were on a memo submitted by Jeff O'Neill. Item #1 related to discussions with a property owner for possible acquisition ofland for a ballfield complex. Rick Traver, Adam Hawkinson and either Larry Nolan or en fTitter would f()fm the committee to work on this. ftem #2 in the memo was the IDC's reaction to colle ting park dedication fees on commercial and industrial properties which they were not wholly supportive of. Larry Nolan felt the Parks Commission should reaffirm the Parks Commission strong support of the park de ieation fee increase and for applying the park dedication fee to commercial and industrial land. He noted tha the Parks Commission recommendation on the park dedication fee increase was not out of line but was c nsistent with what was done in other communities. Fran Fair reported that someone had removed some ydrangeas from East Bridge Park. Adam Hawkinson will report it to the Sheriffs Department. Fran Fair asked when work would start on the East Bridge Park. Adam Hawkinson indicated that the park staff is fini hing up their work at Pioneer Park and then their efforts would be concentrated on the Groveland and East Br dge parks. The Parks Commission also discussed when the entrance signs would be installed. Adam Hawkinson reported that the Public Works Director felt the entrance sign by River Street should be the first 0 e installed because it is more visible. Larry Nolan stated that with County Road 75 under construction, lot of the traffic is diverted to River Street so they should be careful about not impeding traHic on Rive Street when doing the sign installation.. Adam Hawkinson stated they need to determine the locatio of the right of way in that area before they could start installation of the sign. Nancy McCaffrey asked ift e sidewalk that leads pass the back door ofa business at the River Street intersection would have to be altere. Adam Hawkinson stated that if the sidewalk alignment needed to be altered he was not sure how t at would be funded. Larry Nolan asked about setting up a park tour. He f lt the tour should be done as a special meeting. After checking their schedules, the Parks Commission set. tentative date of June 19, 2003 at 1 :00 for the park tour. Groveland Park Neighborhood Mcetine: At 6:00 p.m. the Parks Commission conducted an in ormational meeting f()r the residents of the Groveland development concerning the park in their area. The ark Commission members introduced themselves and then Adam Hawkinson gave a presentation on the de elopment plan for the Groveland park. Adam Hawkinson covered what was being proposed for ins allation in the park, the cost of the improvements and the time frame for getting the work done. He noted that although ballfields were being proposed they would more likely be used for pick up games rather than or anized play. The meeting was then opened to comments 3 . and questions from the residents. Parks Commission Minutes - 5/15103 Michelle Brant asked what it meant on the sketch by "sand area and future access to be provided by owner?" Adam Hawkinson stated that a different firm will be roviding the diggers for the play structure so the City will be doing the installation of that portion which include the sand. Julie Spears asked about the phases. Adam Hawkinsul replied that it is the plan to have it done in two phascs. [fthe City receives the grant they applied for 90% of the work could be funded and done this year. Without the grant it may take 2-3 years. The $60,000 in this years budget would cover the grading, seeding, play structure and shelters. Michelle Brant asked about bathroom maintenance. dam Hawkinson stated the bathrooms would be cleaned on Monday and Friday. She also asked if the estrooms would be connected to sanitary sewer and Adam Hawkinson indicated they would. Rick Traver sked about locking the bathrooms. Adam J [awkinson explained the keyless system that they are currently using at thc other parks. Felicia Doyle asked if there would be a handicapped sing. Adam 1 lawkinson stated that there was area allotted flJr six swings but it had not been determined I ow many would be tot swings or handicapped swings. She also asked if there would be grills in the park. Ad m Hawkinson indicated that would be a possibility down the road. Felicia Doyle asked ifthere would be basketball hoop. A full size hard court is proposed for the park. . Greg Mains asked about the fields that were proposed. It was explained that the City is short oftields to meet the demand and the City has tried to find land are- so that additional fields can be added. It was felt that these fields would be used primarily for pick up ga Julic Spears asked that news about the park be put on th City's website. The Parks Commission indicated that keeping the website updated is an ongoing projcct. Adam Hawkinson also encouraged residents to call or e-mail him with their concerns. Natasha Liesh asked when they would be starting. Wh n the Parks Department finished their work at Rolling Woods park, then work would commence on Gr veland and it was added that bad weather could impact the time frame for the park project. Felicia Doyle asked if the SherifT" s Department would b patrolling the park. Adam Hawkinson stated that the Sheriff s Department does patrol the area but he didn't know if having a park there would increase the number of patrols. He added that community involvem nt is very important in helping curb vandalism. Ben Hitter asked about lighting. Adam Hawkinson state that there would be lights around the shelters and in . the parking lot. Greg Mains asked if there were going to be additional pI ntings. Adam Hawkinson indicated that in addition 4 . . . Parks Commission Minutes - 5/15/03 to the trees that were recently planted their plan is t add some other plantings as well.

Recording Secretary . . . MINlJTES SPECIAL MEETING - PARKS COMMISSION Thursday, .June 12,2003 - 3:30 p.m. "To enhance community p ide through developing and maintaining city parks witl a high standard of quality." Members Present: Fran Fair, Ben Hitter, Nane McCaffrey, Larry Nolan, Rick Traver and Council Liaison, Robbie Smith. Members Absent: None Staff Present: Public Works Director, Joh Simola; Park Superintendent, Adam Hawkinson 1. Call to Order: Chair Larry Nolan called the meeting to or er at 3:30 p.m. and declared a quorum present. 2. Review of Wild Meadow Development: John Simola indicated that the developer c ntacted him this morning stating they wished to withdraw their request to have the Parks Commissiol review their development at this meeting. 'rhey stated they don't have the final configuration oftl e ponding for County review nor do they have permission from the gas company to fill the easement rea. John Simola reviewed the latest drawing with the Parks Commission. There are two areas eseribed as proposed park; one is 4.63 acres, which includes the gas line easement and the othe park is 1.94 acres. The developer indicated he wanted credit for the park land under the utility eas ment. The gas company will be reviewing the revised plan to determine whether they would allo the developer to fill in the gas line easement area. John Simola noted the developer is picking up t e storm water in a series of basins in the park area along 95th Street. John Simola and Adam Hawkinson would like to see the basins moved further way from the park if possible. The basins waul be I' deep and 50'-75' in diameter. Staff noted that the basins would making mowing difficult. The drainage plan will be going back to the County for their approval. There is some question wh ther the ponding proposed is adequate. Parking area for the park would likely have to access onto a internal street rather than on 95th Street and there will need to be screening between the park and he Tyler East development. John Simola stated that the Bauer property was given credit for park dedication and storm sewer trunk fees because they had provided land for the storm sewer outlet th t drained the Mcadow Oaks area. Larry Nolan asked about the trail system and who would be m intaining it. The Park Board reiterated that it wants 5 ac es of good usable park land and added that they would consider park credit for any land in excess fthe 5 usable acres. The Parks Commission was not enthused about the proposed 1.49 park trae and would prefer to see that area owned by the developer. John Simola stated that the gas company does not own the land but only has an . . . Special Parks Commission Minutes - 6/12/03 easement over it so the gas company may e amenable to the developer's proposal to fill in the casement area. Nancy McCaffrey felt ther were still too many unanswered questions about what is being proposed. Larry Nolan asked ifth re were any comments the Parks Commission felt should be relayed to the developer. The P rks Commission noted the following: I . The drainage basins should be moY d further from the park area. 2. Park land must be at least 5 acres 0 good usable land not including gas line area. 3. The peninsula of park land (1.49 a'res) should be retained by the development association. John Simola stated that the amount of par land credit is something that the Parks Commission should consider. Larry Nolan asked about the width of the pathway and whether the pathway would be public or private. John Simola i dicated the width would be g'-10'. Rick Traver asked about the elevation ofthe area. John Simo a replied that with filling, it would be 93g~940. 2. East Brid1!e Park Trail: John Simola has been trying to contact To Link about Mr. Link's concern with the proposed trail in East Bridge Park. Mr. Link felt the pro osed trail would be too close to his driveway. John Simola felt, after inspecting the site, that tl ere is enough room to provide some screening between the pathway and the driveway. Fran Fair tated that the MCP (Monticello Community Partners) had some concerns about the proposed im rovements to East Bridge Park but did donate $2,500 for tree and shrub replacement. Fran Fair felt there was no consensus in the community that this project should be done. Rick Traver indic ted that he was approached by an individual who also had concerns about the project. The Par s Commission discussed the concerns and stated there needs to be a better explanation of the project to the public. John Simola suggested getting a cost estimate to replace the existing steps as th t way there is a comparison between the cost of putting in the trail or replacing the steps. Parks Cm mission noted that even if they did not get the grant they applied f()r the condition of the steps is su h that the steps needed to be removed. There is $25,000 in the 2003 budget for this project. The p imary reason for removing the steps is safety. Other: John Simola presented a request from a property wn to allow building of a berm along the City's bike path. The berm would be on park land that lies under tl e power line easement. John Simola submitted a sketch of the lot in question and its proximity to the trail. John Simola suggested the Parks Commission look at the site and then make a determination on what th y would allow. Because this would be in the area of the power line casement, approval would also be nee ed from the power company. Robbie Smith informed the Parks Commission that vehicles sometimes u. e the bike path and asked that the Park stafflook into doing something to correct that. John Simola lei for another meeting at this time. On Monday, June 16, 2003 the Parks Commissiol will conduct a tour of the parks, looking specifically at Pioneer Park, the driving range as a possible hall! eld site and the trail on Eastwood Circle. There was some 2 . . . Special Parks Commission Minutes - 6/12/03 discLlssion on the driving range as a ballfield site. It is a 26 acre parcel with about 20 acres of usable land. Although the Parks Commission is looking f(x a 0 acre site, this parcel plus the park land from the Gold Nugget property would give theln close to 30 acre '. Adam llawkinson noted that if the driving range site was acquired. they would have to do grading to th site. replace the turf and also replace the irrigation system. The Parks Commission diseLlssed preparing a list l' the pros and cons for the trail development in East Bridge Park as they felt there were some misconc"'ptions about what is being proposed and why it is being proposed. Some items to consider in the list inc ude: 1) Bridge Park is an entrance park to the community; 2) The trail will provide a connection between East and West Bridge Park; 3) The improvement would allow fl.)r more arboretum space; 4) The ste s need to be replaced regardless; 5) The trail would allow 1'(.)r easier access, even though it would not I eet ADA requirements and 6) The improvements would make the park better aesthetically. Adam Hawkinson will get costs for replacing the steps and a copy or the grant application to Larry Nolan. Larry Nolan will meet with Mayor Thielen regarding the improvements. Adam I lawkinson submitted a map of the Wright :ounty trails which was briefly discussed. 3. Adiourn: rRAN rAIR MOVED TO ADJOURN AT 5:00 P.M. RICK TRAVER SECONDED TilE MOTION.

Stat. ~ 363-03, gubll. 1(2) Also see Part IV - C- F(1...uly c/mneclll)H$ Minn. Sl)t- a 15.054 MUlII. Stat. ~ 15.054 1.6 Under existing law, spouses are iable for each other's support for necessities. If a spousc who COD acts with the city uses the earnings from the contract individually and not to upport the family, the contract probably would not be invalid simply bec use the spouse is a councihnember. However, if the facts tend to sh othelWise, the legality ofthe contract will be doubtful. Tbl.'l attorney gener 1 has advised local governing bodies to avoid the suspicion and critieis that may result from such contracts. Although a prohibited interest' contracts does not necessarily arise when the spouse of a city employee is elected councilmember, the opinion carefully avoids any statem.ent bout furore action of the council on the existing employment relations p. It should bl;: noted that the Mi esota Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination in employment ased upon marital status. As such, cities should exercise caution when aking inquiries into the marital status of employees or applicants for po itions with the city. 4. Sale of govern ent-owned property a. In general Officers and em~loyees of the state 0"1" its subdivisions are prohibited from selling government-owned pr perty to another officer or employee of the state or its subdivisions. This awappe3.ts to probibit the sale of any city- owned property to <U:l)' officer or employee. b. Exceptions There are exceptions to this p ohibition. pcrsonal property owned by the state or its subdivisions and no 10 er needed for public purposes can be sold to an employee (but not to aJ;l oftio r) under certain conditions. These conditions arC: . there has been reasonab e pllblic notice and the property is sold at a public auction or scaled id. . The employee is the hig est responsible bidder; . The employee who buy the property must not be directly involved in the auction or scaled respo e process. The law docs not apply to e sale of items acquired or produced for sale to the general public in the or inary course: of businesS. .There is no exception that allows the sale of city- wued real estate to a city officer or employee. _~ The law allowS an employ or officer of a state or subdivision to sell public property if the sale is in the normal course of the employee's duties.
