I. CALL MEETING TO ORDER
Mayor Harris called the meeting to order at 6:35 p.m. All Councilmembers were
present. Commissioners Kracum and Wilson were absent.
H. INTRODUCTIONS
M. PRESENTATION/STATUS OF WORK PLAN
Commission Chair Hilgeman reviewed the highlights of the Work Plan.
Lambert said the first phase of development of the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area
referred to in the Work Plan involves initial dredging for the project. He said they plan
to close this Thursday on the Klein-Peterson Option #1 to acquire 15.8 acres on the
Bluffs.
JOINT CITY COUNCIL/PARKS,RECREATION&NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION

Hilgeman said two members of the Commission have agreed to serve on a committee to
discuss the issues that were raised in the community survey. Tyra-Lukens asked if the
issues from the survey were very low in satisfaction. Lambert said they were actually
in the high-end quadrant but were lower on the scale.
Butcher-Younghans asked about the size of the free skating rink at the Preserve Park
Shelter. Lambert said they have used a pond for free skating there, but it has poor ice
conditions so they want to add a free skating rink when the shelter is upgraded.
Harris asked about funding for the Community Center pool system improvements.
Lambert said the School District has said they could not fund it if they would not be
able to control it; however they understand that the improvements could increase the
rental rate significantly. Harris suggested we look for the best possible solution,
keeping a Joint Powers agreement option on the table in order to evaluate all the
options.
Tyra-Lukens asked if we have other Joint Powers agreements on parks. Lambert said
we have about six such agreements with the School District, all of which are for
specific items.
Thorfinnson asked if the School District would have control of the pool if there was a
Joint Powers agreement. Lambert said they would have some priority use, but he
would need to research the issue more to know exactly what would be involved.
Regarding item VII to develop a policy on public use of City facilities, Hilgeman said
the Commission has scheduled a meeting next week with representatives of the various
youth athletic associations. They want to shift the way facilities are assigned so that the
groups will provide information on how much time they will need and how long they
need the facility. We would then assign the time in order to accommodate them to the
best of our ability. This would help avoid instances of groups not using the facilities
they had requested and would provide us with more flexibility over facility usage.
Harris asked if we have a problem with ballfields that are tightly scheduled. Koenig
said we try to have some facilities that are open to use for reunions, corporations, etc.
Hilgeman said the Staring facilities are open most of the time, but Staff also can call
groups assigned to use the facilities to see if there might be an opening for someone
else.
Harris thought the four goals listed for developing standards for the use of facilities are
very important, and we need to establish criteria for making some very real and serious
decisions. She thought this is a good start.
Koenig said we also have the issue of overuse of the fields.
Hilgeman thought the use of Edenvale Conservation Area is very important, and we
should make it as open as possible without having an adverse impact on the area.

Bowman observed it is important to keep a balance between development and
undeveloped areas. Harris noted the Council wanted preliminary grooming of the
access routes in the area to make it more available. She thought we need to do this in
stages so that people become accustomed to it. These are City resources for every
taxpayer to use.
Brown said he has worked with the "Rails and Trails" program throughout the country
and has never heard of a case of trail users tearing up property or causing lower
property values. He said this could be a wonderful education piece.
IV. IDENTIFICATION OF ISSUES REQUIRING CITY COUNCIL INPUT
V. CITY COUNCIL FEEDBACK AND DIRECTION
A. FUNDING OF REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE PROTECTS WITH CASH
PARK FEES
Lambert said we want to get away from funding ongoing maintenance things
with one-time revenue sources, such as cash park fees. He thought it would be
a major mistake to continue funding items such as repairs to the Community
Center with cash park fees. Cash park fees are acquired under a formula to
develop the park system; however, in another six years we won't have that
resource and will run out of funds even if we don't use the fees for
maintenance.
Hilgeman said we are looking at a very costly repair to the Community Center
system.
Tyra-Lukens asked if the CIP programs could cost three times the anticipated
amount of cash park fees. Hilgeman said they could easily be three times that.
Lambert said there are big cost items like the Preserve shelter, and we have
other temporary buildings that have served their purpose; however, the cash
park fees were meant to cover construction of permanent shelters.
Tyra-Lukens thought we should use cash park fees as they were originally
intended. She liked including trails as part of that because she thinks of trails as
part of new development. Lambert said trails built within the parks are covered
by cash park fees, but the trail system throughout the City is not. Some
communities have a trails fee but they don't require developers to build the trail
system. Trails are part of the transportation system just like roads are.
Case said no matter how we cut it, we are $5 million short down the road. He
asked if we have taken a count at certain spots on the trail system so we can
justify the expense of completing the system. Fox said they will be acquiring a
remote control device to generate counts at Staring Lake and Round Lake, and
we could use that to develop statistics on trail usage. Case thought we need to
build a database of trail usage information in order to justify the connections.
S
JOINT CITY COUNCIL/PARKS,RECREATION&NATURAL RESOURCES COMMISSION
January 7, 1997

Thorfinnson said a referendum doesn't solve the basic problem. We did not put
money aside for capital improvements and we now need to set a goal of putting
more money away for these expenditures. We will have to replace equipment
on an ongoing basis, and a referendum won't solve that problem.
Lambert said we need to consider not only parks but facilities also.
Harris thought the consensus is that cash park fees should be used for park
development. We need to identify how we are going to meet our capital
improvement needs in the future.
Brown said he thought the problems with the pool are the result of overuse by
competitive swim teams, and we might consider asking them to go somewhere
else. Lambert said the high school girls' team had the most problems; however,
he did not think we could make a rule for them and not do the same thing for
the other groups. ..
B. REACTING TO NEIGHBORS VS. FOLLOWING AN OVERALL
SYSTEMS PLAN
Regarding the Edenbrook issue, Lambert said the Commission was following
the plan that was talked about for a nature trail in this area. We will have to
make the trail connections despite neighborhood input.
Hilgeman thought the public is right in saying that if we ask for their input, we
need to listen to what they say. Thorfinnson said we have to make the decision
based on what is best. Harris noted that those represented at the meeting are the
people who are most proximal and who may have a different opinion.
Thorfinnson added that generally the people in support of a project don't come
to the meetings. Harris said we can listen and incorporate good ideas into the
resolution.
Tyra-Lukens asked the Commissioners who are leaving the Commission what
they see as the needs or interests new Commission members should have.
Hilgeman would like to see someone with experience in watershed issues and
other issues that the Commission faces, and someone who has lived in the City
for some time. Bowman thought it is important to get someone who is
dedicated to spending the time and being involved in the Commission--someone
who will walk the projects and review the developments. Brown thought it is
important that they have no hidden agenda and not be part of a special interest
group.
Mayor Harris thanked the Commissioners for their work.

VII. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
A. RECONSIDERATION OF VOTE ON ALBIN CHAPEL
Jullie said the Council, at the December 17, 1996 meeting, directed that tonight's
agenda include an item for the Council to reconsider its prior action taken on
November 19, 1996 regarding the Albin Chapel project. The proposal failed to gain
approval on a 3-2 vote of the Council (four positive votes are needed for a zoning
district amendment approval).
City Attorney Pauly read the appropriate motion which the Council would need to
reconsider the vote. He said the proper action at this time would be pass the motion
and to send the proposal back to the Planning Commission and staff for a completely
new review process.
MOTION: Thorfinnson moved, seconded by Case to suspend the rules to reconsider
the following actions taken relating to Albin Chapel:
(1) To reconsider the following two motions made at the Council meeting on
November 18, 1996:
The first of which was "to approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance
for a Code Amendment to amend Section 11.2 of the City Code
adding funeral homes as a permitted use in the Office Zoning
District;to adopt Resolution 96-198 for PUD Amendment Review
on 2.56 acres; to approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for PUD
District Review on 2.56 acres and Zoning District Amendment in
the Office Zoning District on 2.56 acres; to adopt Resolutin 96-
199 for Preliminary Plat approval of 5.22 acres into 2 lots; and to
direct Staff to prepare the Development Agreement incorporating
Commission and Staff recommendations."
The second of which was "to deny approval of the project on the
basis that a funeral home is contrary to permitted uses in the
Office District and to deny the Preliminary Plat because it would
not be properly zoned for the use.";

XI. REPORTS OF OFFICERS
A. REPORTS OF COUNCILMEMBERS
1. Student Representatives on Commissions
Tyra-Lukens would like to see the number of student representatives
increased in order to send a message to the community that we value the input
of students.
Harris suggested that we limit it to no more than two per commission.
The consensus was to encourage student representatives on commissions and
to allow up to two for each commission on which we currently allow student
representation.
2. Set Meetings with Legislative Representatives
Harris thought it would be useful to review current issues and their impact on
Eden Prairie with our Legislative representatives. She asked Staff to find
available times when we could get together with our representatives.

3. Eden Prairie 2001
Harris noted that she was struck by how fortunate we are to live in Eden
Prairie, and the fact that good fortune happened as a cooperative effort
between the Council and City Staff As we approach 50,000 population, we
need to address other issues affecting the quality of our lives. Strategic
planning needs to be done about the things we hold dear, such as health and
human services and other issues.
Harris believes we need to ensure that we actualize the vision in our strategic
plan as the City's physical growth continues to slow. The Council is marking
the transition to a new century and a new millennium. She is excited about
the challenges it offers, but it will require new ways of thinking, new
approaches to implementation and new partnerships. She would like to
explore this further and asked City staff to schedule a workshop to begin to
think about how we can do this. She expects we will need a broad base of
members of the community to help visualize the plan.
B. REPORT OF CITY MANAGER
1. Set the 4th Tuesday of Every Month as a City Council/Staff Workshop
Jullie suggested the Council set the fourth Tuesday of each month as a time
for City Council/Staff workshops or other special purpose meetings. He said
the workshop on Tuesday, January 28,will be a joint meeting with the School
District.
MOTION: Tyra-Lukens moved, seconded by Thorfinnson, to set the fourth
Tuesday of each month from 7:00 to 9:00 PM as Council/Staff Workshops or
other special purpose meetings as appropriate. Motion carried
unanimously.
2. City Manager Performance Review
Jullie noted the outline of the proposed schedule for the review process.
Harris noted Councilmembers Thorfinnson and Case will be doing the review.
The consensus was that the proposed schedule was okay.

Mary Krause
Recommended Action:
Move to approve Change Order No. 1 for Improvement Contract Number 95-5373, Kimberly
Lane Sanitary Sewer Project in the amount of$1,428.00.
Primary Issues:
This project consisted of installing sanitary sewer within an easement in the rear yards of an
existing residential area. One of the adjacent homeowners had a drainage issue that involved
discharge of a sump pump into the curbline creating an odor and ice nuisance. Draintile was
installed through the rear yard area already disturbed by the sanitary sewer installation to
eliminate the problem. This improvement is part of the compensation to the property owner for
temporary construction easements.
Financial Issues:
This change order will increase the contract amount by $1,428.00 to a total of$50,532.00. We
hereby recommend approval of Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $1,428.00 to Nodland

TRANSIT COMMISSION
Resolution Amending Joint -fir
Powers Agreement for Suburban .LLB
Transit Association
DACKGROUND:
In 1996,Eden Prairie joined the Suburban Transit Association (STA), a lobbying organization for
communities that have"opted out"of the metropolitan transit system for public transit service. The
purpose of the organization is to support the suburban transit operations through legislative efforts.
JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT AMENDMENT
The amendments requested to the Joint Powers Agreement are housekeeping amendments,only.
Under the current agreement,the annual meeting and the election of officers had been scheduled to
occur in October of each year. With elections for city council members taking place in November
of each year,the STA found it difficult to hold elections in October knowing that some members
may turnover as a result of November elections.
Therefore, the STA members believed it would be appropriate to change the annual meeting date
and election of officers to coincide with the municipal elections.
DUDGET IMPACT:
This action will not impact the local budget for the City of Eden Prairie. In fact,because of the
changes initiated by the STA during the last legislative session, SMTC will pay the dues for Eden
Prairie to participate in this organization.
REQUESTED ACTION:
That the Eden Prairie City Council adopt the resolution amending the Joint
Powers Agreement for the Suburban Transit Association.

AGREEMENT
BETWEEN AND AMONG THE METROPOLITAN RADIO BOARD,
MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
AND THE CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
This Agreement, effective on the date of execution by the three parties and proper state
officials, is made by and between the Metropolitan Radio Board, a political subdivision of the
State of Minnesota, (hereinafter"Radio Board"), the State of Minnesota through its
Commissioner of Transportation (hereinafter"MnDOT"), and the City of Eden Prairie, a
municipal corporation under the laws of the State of Minnesota (hereinafter"Eden Prairie").
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Radio Board was established by Minnesota Statutes Section
473.891 et seq. (1996)as a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota to adopt and implement
a plan for a Regionwide Public Safety Radio Communication System (hereinafter"Regionwide
System"); and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 174.70 (1996)the Commissioner of
Transportation may exercise the powers granted in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 174 and Sections
473.891 to 473.905 to plan and implement the Regionwide System as provided in Sections
473.E+91 to 473.905; and
WHEREAS, the Radio Board and MnDOT have a desire to share with Eden Prairie Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC") 800 MHz channel 391 using the short spacing (less than
70 miles)and less than short spacing(less than 55 miles) provisions of the rules and regulations of
the FCC; and
WHEREAS, the Radio Board and MnDOT are aware of the needs of Eden Prairie to protect its
tainting radio system and to be allowed to expand its system based on present plans; and
WHEREAS, MnDOT has submitted an application to the FCC for approval to share MHz
Channel 391 with Eden Prairie; and
WHEREAS, Eden Prairie has agreed to share MHz Channel 391 subject to the conditions stated
in this Agreement to ensure that there would be no harmful interference to the Eden Prairie

MNDOT AGREEMENT NO. 75782
1. No Harmf►rl Interference. Radio Board and MnDot will not implement its Regionwide
System in a manner that will create harmful interference to the present or proposed Eden
Prairie trunking radio system. If this occurs, the Radio Board and MnDOT will take, at a
minimum, the remedies listed below in this Agreement.
2_ Expansion of J len Prairie System- Eden Prairie will be allowed to expand its trunking
radio communication system within the parameters listed below in this paragraph without
opposition by the Radio Board and MnDOT,
a) Background: Eden Prairie has had plans for the past 2.3 years of replacing its
primary trunking facility, of which channel 391 is a member, with a higher tower at
a different location to improve coverage in the Minnesota River Valley. The
property, on which the primary antenna and radio facility is located, will be sold
and potential buyers have stipulated that the radio facility must be removed from
the site. Another mitigating factor is that the expansion plans of Minnesota Trunk
Highway 5 will take some of the northern portions of the property, making the
southern portion of the property the only route of building expansion but such
expansion is now impeded by the radio tower and facility. Eden Prairie has been
negotiating with numerous private partners to build a new tower for Eden Prairie
trunldng radio communication system and private uses at a yet to be determined
location.
b) Maximum Design Parameters of Eden Prairie: Radio Board and MnDOT agree in
advance not to oppose Eden Prairie's expansion efforts provided that Eden Prairie
stays within the following technical boundaries:
TRANSMITTER ANTENNA TIP HEIGHT No more than 70 feet higher
than it is presently licensed
for today
EFFECTIVE RADIATED POWER: No more than 3 db above, in
the direction of 0°to 45°
degrees (north being 0°
degrees), than licensed
today..
LOCATION OF FACILITY: The facility must be located
within the confines of Eden
Prairie

3. MntOT Radio Bard Dgcign Cons•.raints: Mn.DOT and Radio Board will design their
Rt,gionwide System facilities based on the e;:panded Eden Prairie system designed within the
constraints listed in Paragraph 2 above. These design constraints are as follows:
USE OF CHANNEL 391 Re-evaluate requirements to
even require the use of
channel 391
USE OF CHANNEL 391 AS CONTROL Channel 391 may only be
CHANNEL_ used as a working channel in
the system not a control
channel
CONTROL SELECTION OF CHANNEL Design the system so that
391 field units will only transmit
on channel 391 when in the
Chisago and Isanti Counties.
CONTROL STATIONS All control stations (FCC
Class FXI) using channel
391 shall meet 20 foot rule
(off of the ground) and, shall
whenever possible, employ
directional antennas pointed
away from Eden Prairie's
facility. Power shall be
limited to 6 db above a
mobile transmitting at the
same address. If at all
possible, control station
antennas will be hidden
behind structures to further
eliminate radiation to Eden
Prairie.
USE IN AIRCRAFT The degree to which these
800 MHz channels are to be
"re-used" within the region
and their assignments in
adjacent regions require that
their use in aircraft be

391 only if communication
with the dominant site
simulcast cluster is not
possible and all other
channels are busy.
4. Remedies: Should destructive interference occur to Eden Prairie's existing system or that
system expanded within the parameters described in Paragraph 2 above,Radio Board and
MnDOT will take the following remedies until the interference is reduced below an acceptable
level to Eden Prairie. Remedies shall include the following:
LIMIT USE OF CHANNEL 391 Set up channel 391 to be
automatically last used in the
Regionwide System when all
other channels are in use or
install manual switching to
defeat use of channel 391
unless extreme
communications needs
warrant such use.

antenna height, antenna
down tilting, and directional
antennas.
CEASE USING CHANNEL 391 Remove channel 391 from
the Regionwide System.

The original Flood Plain Ordinance contained review criteria for non-inhabited structures in the flood plain.
In 1993 the Code was streamlined and the regulations changed from 18 pages down to 5 pages, eliminating
such review. The Watershed and Department of Natural Resources have review criteria for structures in the
flood plain.
City staff has received 2 inquiries from Rural landowners for agricultural buildings in the flood plain.
SUPPORTING INFORMATION:
Staff Report dated December 19, 1996.
Planning Commission Minutes of 12-9-96.
Approval recommended 5:1.
Parks,Recreation and Natural Resources Commission recommended approval 7:0 at their 1-6-97 meeting.

the DNR allow such construction with conditions and hold harmless agreements. In some
instances fill is not desired in the flood plain as it decreases flood capacity. It would appear the
City could also allow such structures if alternate locations were not available and conditions are
attached. The City will want to take care so structures have minimal obstruction to flood
flow,are located an appropriate distance from any water body, and there will be no increase in
flood damage potential in the City. The Watershed District and DNR review and comment on
these two items.
CITY ORDINANCE
The City's original Flood Plain Ordinance, Ordinance#276, was adopted in 1976. In 1993 the
City amended the Flood Plain Ordinance to reflect new state statutes, change
the Regulatory Flood Plain Elevation from 1 foot to 2 feet above the 100 Year Flood
Elevation, and to remove duplication contained in the ordinance. The amendments in
1993 trimmed the ordinance from 18 pages down to 5 pages and did not retain information
on how non-inhabited(non-residential) structures would be reviewed in the flood plain. Since
the City receives very few requests for structures in the flood plain, the eliminations were not
evident until recently.
Neither the previous ordinance or the current code had specific language for non-occupied
agricultural buildings. The previous ordinance did have a review process for building in
the flood plain.

Item 9, Subd. 5., and 1,3, and 4 Subd. 6., in italics are proposed changes.
Subd. 5. Authorized And Permitted Uses.
A. Authorized Uses in the Flood Plain District With a Permit. The following uses of land
may be authorized in the flood plain district by obtaining a permit from the City. Such
uses must comply, and may be authorized only on condition that they shall comply, with
the Use and Construction Standards contained in Subd. 6 hereof.
1. Any use of land which does not involve a structure, a habitation, an addition to the
outside dimensions to an existing structure or an obstruction to flood flows such as
fill, or excavation pursuant to Subd. 5. A. 3. Hereof, or storage of materials or
equipment.
2. Storage of materials or equipment if readily removable from the flood plain within
the time available after a flood warning in accordance with a plan approved by the
Council,or if not subject to major damage by floods and firmly anchored to
prevent flotation,provided however,the storage of materials that are , in time of
flooding, flammable, explosive,or potentially injurious to human, animal,or plant
life is prohibited.
3. Filling or excavation pursuant to a valid permit or permits issued by the managers
of a Watershed District formed pursuant to Minnesota Statues Chapter 103 D or
any similar law having jurisdiction over the flood plain an/or the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources.
4. Placement, building, or alteration of, or addition to, a structure on that portion of a
flood plain which has been filled to the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation.
5. Public Facilities and Services.
6. Railroad tracks, roads, streets, and bridges.
7. Structural works for Flood Control structures authorized by the Commissioner of
the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources pursuant to the provisions of
Minnesota Statues, Chapter 105.

S
Subd. 6. Use And Construction Standards.
A. Structures.
1. All structures, including accessory structures and additions to existing structures,
shall be constructed so that the basement floor,or first floor if there is no
basement, is at or above the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation. The finished
fill elevation must be no lower than the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation and
shall extend at such elevation at least 15'beyond the limits of the structure
constructed thereon. Where conditions make compliance impractical or the fill is
not desired, the City may in conjunction with the watershed and Department of
Natural Resources authorize a different elevation.
2. Structures shall be constructed or placed to prevent flotation which may result in
damage to other structures and/or restrictions of bridge openings and other narrow
sections of water-courses.
3. Structures shall have low flood damage potential and be placed so as to offer
minimum obstruction to the flow of flood waters.
4. Service facilities such as electrical and heating equipment shall be adequately
flood proofed according to the Uniform Building Code.
5. Public facilities and services shall be flood-proofed in accordance with the Uniform
Building Code,unless situated above the Regulatory Flood Protection Elevation.
The proposed change was discussed by the Planning Commission. They noted the
importance to include the review criteria in the code amendment.. The Planning Commission
voted 5:1 to forward the amendment to the City Council. The Parks,Recreation and Natural
Resources Commission voted 7:0 toforward the amendment to the Council.
If the code change is adopted,the landowners would then proceed with their requests for
approval of a permit. Such permits will be sent to the Planning Commission,Watershed District
and Department of Natural Resources prior to City Council action.

Zoning District on 1.29 acres, Site Plan Review on 1.29 acres and Preliminary
Plat of 1.29 acres into 8 lots. Location: Spyglass Drive, south of Riverview

Franzen explained the developer has withdrawn the project at this time.
Additional archaeological survey is needed for two burial mounds south of the
existing house. Staff recommends the Commission close the public hearing
and return the development plans to the proponent without prejudice.
MOTION 1: Ismail moved, seconded by Foote,to close the public hearing
and return the development plans to the proponent without prejudice.
Motion carried 6-0.
V. PUBLIC MEETING
A. CODE AMENDMENT TO FLOOD PLAIN REGULATION
Jean Johnson.,Zoning Administrator, Community Development, explained the
City has received a few inquiries from farmers and other rural zoned property
owners about constructing agriculture buildings in the flood plain. One of
those requests was approved by the Watershed District a few months back.
City staff looked at the existing Flood Plain Code and discovered they do not
have a process by which these non-inhabitant agricultural buildings can be
reviewed. The original Flood Plain Code of 1976 did have some criteria for
reviewing those types of buildings. The purpose of the criteria was to insure
whatever structures were constructed would have a low flood damage
potential.
The present Flood Plain Code was explained and the changes recommended
to be made were outlined. In talking to the Watershed District and the DNR
staff, their purpose in reviewing the flood plain structures is to regulate the
structures,not prohibit it. They have the same concerns as the City has as far
as residential structures in the flood plain, but they do approve agricultural
buildings in the flood plain.
Sandstad expressed concern about securing insurance for buildings in the
flood plain because this is a flood prone area. Johnson said if a mortgage is
secured for the structure,then the mortgage company would have that ability
to require flood insurance if they wanted. If there is no mortgage secured, a
property owner would not necessarily get flood insurance. If they do secure
flood insurance, the conditions of the contract might outline how much
2
Eden Prairie Planning Commission
December 9, 1996
reimbursement they get for the damage.
Foote asked about the size of the buildings typically and the type of materials
it would be constructed of. Johnson replied the two situations they are aware
of now, one building might be around 30 by 50, and the other one around 50
by 80, both metal.
Wissner inquired as to who makes the final decision if there is not another
spot that the building can go on the property. Johnson stated the City Council
would be the ultimate ones to decide.
Habicht asked if they would still have the ability to regulate the uses in
environmentally sensitive areas. Johnson said yes. Some of the items already
looked at are whether or not there would be any hazardous material stored or
pesticides, and staff does not want to see any manure storage in the flood
plain. Habicht said he was referring more towards site lines and scenic
easements. He was talking about near property lines without an easement
which will allow that flexibility to prohibit a structure in sensitive areas.
Johnson said slopes or trees, and distance from the creek would be something
reasonable, and definitely in sensitive areas. The scenic impact would have to
be done on a case by case area because some of the flood plain areas are
hidden areas. Habicht's concern was along the creek where one side has some
protection in the form of an easement and the other side is a private area
which is available for development. Franzen noted that would be within their
regular powers under shoreline regulations for doing that, and the City would
still have the latitude to use it when deemed necessary.
Sandstad asked if the City would be obligated to put out a fire if there is no
access and no fire hydrant. Johnson said her past understanding of the
situations of barns and agricultural buildings, fire protection is provided,but
caution exercised because firefighters may not know what is stored in a
building.
Foote expressed concern about who would be responsible for the clean up if
for example a log comes and hits a building during a flood and the busted up
pieces flow down the river. He said he was not comfortable supporting this
for a lot of reasons he heard and some of his own reasons. He does not think
it's a good idea to put anything in the flood plain from an environmental
prospective.
Habicht stated he was comfortable with the amendment to the Code provided
3
Eden Prairie Planning Commission
December 9, 1996
that the City feels there is enough latitude to review these things on a case by
case basis.
MOTION: Sandstad moved, seconded by Habicht, to recommend approval
of the proposed text amendment included in the December 5, 1996 memo
from Jean Johnson regarding a change to the flood plain section. Motion
carried 5-1 with the no vote by Foote.
VI. MEMBERS' REPORTS
Sandstad referred to the memo of November 15, 1996, from Bob Lambert, and said
he would be interested in seeing if staff could include comments about Columbine
Road being done in two years. The timing on Columbine is very nebulous. Franzen
commented that trails are part of the Capital Improvement Plan. The Parks
Commission recommends a list of improvements to the City Council who authorizes
the expenditures. Sandstad asked that the Planning Commission be authorized to see
the list for 1997 and 1998 for information purposes.
Clinton referred to the letter of December 6, 1996, from Allen Nelson, Fire Marshal,
concerning visibility of the fire hydrants during the snow and ice season, and noted
he was glad to see that.
Wissner was concerned about what was happening on Technology Drive across from
St. Andrews. Franzen explained it's part of the Watershed District project for the
Purgatory Creek Recreation Area and wetland mitigation.
VII. CONTINUING BUSINESS
Franzen noted there will be a Joint City Council, Planning Commission, and Board of
Adjustments and Appeals meeting on Monday, December 16, 1996 in the Council
Chambers. This meeting will include the Metropolitan Council staff who will explain
what the growth options are and what the transportation plan is for the metropolitan
area.
VIII. NEW BUSINESS
Franzen noted the document entitled, Seniors Issues Task Force was done by Jean
Johnson. It does not need discussion tonight but staff got it in the packets so the
Commissioners have time to read it. It is a long document and took 18 months to
create. If the Commission at any time would like it reviewed, staff would make a
presentation. Clinton said discussion should be on a night without any items on the

EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA DATE: 1/21/9
SECTION: Petitions,Requests and Communications ITEM NO.
j
DEPARTMENT: Parks, ITEM DESCRIPTION: Eden Prairie Baseball Club Request
Recreation and Facilities
Bob Lambert "raC--
RECOMMENDATION:
The Eden Prairie Baseball Club has brought some very good issues to the forefront and has caused
the Eden Prairie Baseball Association to initiate some needed changes to its operational policy.
Through this process there have been a number things said that have caused some hard feelings
among parents on both sides of this issue. City staff believes that a one year cooling off period might
be the best solution, and during that interim period allow the Baseball Club the use of one field per
week, and to take the time to invite presidents from all of the athletic associations to help the City
draft a set of policies and standards for use of public facilities,including ballfields,gymnasiums,ice
rinks,etc.that are designed to provide fair and equal access to all residents of the community and to
discourage development of elite teams and single team organizations that may take the use of City
facilities away from organizations that are trying to provide recreation for all children in the
community.
The goal of the Commission and Council should be to have policies and standards in place by mid
year that would send a very strong message to all organizations in the City that are utilizing public
facilities (and when the maintenance of those facilities is subsidized by all taxpayers) that these
facilities are for the use of all Eden Prairie residents, and not for exclusive use or even priority use
by those who may have more money or more skills than other residents.
CONSIDERATIONS:
It appears as though the Eden Prairie Baseball Club has no interest in rejoining the Eden Prairie
Baseball Association at this time. The City has the following options to consider regarding the Eden
Prairie Baseball Club's request for field space for 1997:
1. Grant the request for one field usage per week for the length of their season. If this option
is approved, the Commission would have to review the different ballfields that would
accommodate the 70 foot base paths to determine which organizations will lose a field usage
next year. A field would have to be taken from the Baseball Association or from Girls
Softball.
2. Grant the request after the Baseball Association and Softball Association have reserved the
fields necessary for their programs. This would cause a severe hardship on the Baseball Club
1
as they must make some commitments to their organization in order to schedule home games.
3. Deny the request as the Baseball Club is not a public service club in that it does not provide
a service to all Eden Prairie residents,but only to a single "elite team."
DECEMBER 11, 1996 MEETING SUMMARY:
On November 15, Daniel McDonald of the Eden Prairie Baseball Club sent a letter to the City
requesting confirmation that their new organization would have access to field space for their 13-year
old travel team during the 1997 baseball season. Representatives from the Baseball Club met with
the Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources Commission at their December 2 meeting. The
Commission concurred with City staff and appointed an ad hoc committee of two Commission
members to serve with two City staff,two representatives from the Baseball Association and two
representatives from the Baseball Club in order to mediate the differences between the two
organizations. The goal of the meeting was to resolve the differences between the organizations and,
hopefully, eliminate the need for two baseball associations serving Eden Prairie youth.
On December 11 the ad hoc committee chaired by Bruce Bowman met at the Eden Prairie City
Center. In attendance were Don Jacobson and Bruce Bowman from the Parks, Recreation and
Natural Resources Commission, Stu Fox, Bob Lanzi and Bob Lambert from the City staff, Jeff Schu
and Drew Bartley from the Eden Prairie Baseball Association, and Kevin Wishey and Brad Hewitt
from the Baseball Club. Dan Klinkhammer, Executive Director of the Minnesota Youth Association
Services, was also in attendance at the request of Bob Lambert.
Commissioner Bowman called the meeting to order and clarified that the reason for the meeting was
to resolve the differences between the two organizations and requested the Baseball Club to clarify
the reasons why the parents felt it was necessary to leave the Baseball Association and form a new
organization. The Baseball Club listed the first and most important reason as the fact that the
Baseball Association did not represent everyone equally, and that they did not follow their own
bylaws. They further stated that the Baseball Association is not set up to allow democratic
representation by its members. The Baseball Club wants the Baseball Association Board of
Directors to be able to be voted on by any resident of Eden Prairie who is 18 years old or older, and
they want any resident in the community to be eligible for running for a position on the Board of
Directors without any type of a waiting period or any other criteria other than being 18 years old and
a resident of the City.
The Baseball Association responded that as of Sunday, December 8, the Baseball Association voted
to allow any Eden Prairie resident 18 years or older who has an interest in baseball to vote on the
Board of Directors for the Eden Prairie Baseball Association. They further relaxed the requirements
for anyone that is eligible to be a member of the Board of Directors. The requirements are that a
potential board member must have attended a minimum of four board meetings within the last 12
months and have joined two baseball committees in the last 12 months to ensure that they do have
an interest in baseball and a commitment to the Eden Prairie Baseball Association. The Eden Prairie
2
Z
Baseball Association Board of Directors is composed of 15 members with three year terms. (Five
new members are voted in each year as terms are up.) The Baseball Association also has 12 associate
board members.
The Eden Prairie Baseball Club is not satisfied with the action the Baseball Association has
taken with this representation issue and, in fact,doesn't trust the members of the existing Board
of Directors.
The next issue the Baseball Club identified was the coach's selection. The Baseball Club wants
a more open selection process where non parent volunteer coaches can be selected at the travel level.
The existing coaches selection committee "can be loaded by the Board of Directors and their friends."
The Association response was that two and a half months ago the rules on the travel coaches
selection committee were changed and is it now made up of two high school coaches, one former
board member, and two board members who do not have any children at the age level of the teams
where the coaches are being selected. The Baseball Association has advertised to take any candidates
for these travel coach positions and to pay the expenses of non parent coaches. The Baseball Club
has indicated that this issue is not resolved. The process is fine,but they don't trust the people
involved. The Baseball Club thinks that with these new rules changes will probably take place,but
by the time the board changes over "our children will have lost precious years."
Another issue addressed by the Baseball Club was the travel coach evaluation process. The
Baseball Club does not believe the Eden Prairie Baseball Association has a non confidential or fair
evaluation process, nor do they think they follow the recommendations of parents or pay any
attention to the evaluation of parents.
The Eden Prairie Baseball Association sends out evaluations to all parents of travel teams that are
then sent to the president of the organization only. The president takes all of the evaluation scores
of the coaches who are reapplying as a coach, and summarizes the comments from the parent and
forwards that summary of information to the Travel Coach Selection Committee. Mr. Bartley,
President of the Association, indicated that he cannot think of any way to keep the evaluation more
confidential, and in his opinion the Baseball Association Board of Directors does follow the
recommendation of parents and takes very seriously these evaluations.
The President of the Baseball Association then clarified some of the other changes made by the
Baseball Association within the last two months. The Baseball Association is in the process of
adopting a discipline policy that will establish guidelines for how coaches utilize a progressive
discipline policy in handling children on their teams.
The Baseball Association also adopted a ranking or tryout process with unbiased oversight,that
dictates a policy on trades and drafts and ranking of players. The Baseball Association is utilizing the
University of Minnesota personnel to evaluate each child trying out for a traveling team and a second
evaluation is conducted in Eden Prairie where each individual is graded by unbiased individuals. The
tryout committee will evaluate these proposed new guidelines and come back to the Board of
3
3
Directors with recommendations for improvements to that process.
Mr. Bartley admitted the Baseball Association did not reapply for the IRS non profit status over the
last four years, but the Association has applied at this time and will again obtain the IRS tax
exempt number.
Mr. Bartley reiterated that the reason that he got involved in the Baseball Association Board of
Directors was that he agreed with many of the concerns of the Baseball Club parents had, and wanted
to get involved in order to change the organization for the better. He believes that way to make
positive changes is to get involved with the organization to ensure those changes are made,not to
form a new organization and"split the children in this community." He asked the Baseball Club what
is best for the kids?
Kevin Wishey responded that last year's two teams had a combined record of nine wins and 25 losses
and he questioned whether or not that was "good for Eden Prairie kids?" He further stated that the
major issue here is whether or not the Eden Prairie Baseball Club is going to get fields from the City
of Eden Prairie. In his opinion,the kids on the Baseball Club's team are "travel kids who have earned
the right to utilize these fields."
Lambert asked Klinkhammer if the Metro Baseball League had determined how many teams Eden
Prairie could enter this year? Brad Hewitt explained that in his opinion it didn't make any difference
what the Metro League decided because the Eden Prairie Baseball Club is not going to play in the
Metro League and had withdrawn their application"a month ago." Dan Klinkhammer was not aware
that they had withdrawn their application. Hewett responded that the Eden Prairie Baseball Club was
joining the MYBA and will be playing 16 games next year; eight away games and eight home games.
Mr. Hewett further stated that in his opinion all of the parents of the children on his team are Eden
Prairie taxpayers who deserve the right to have access to an Eden Prairie field;however,if the City
does not provide the field he will get a field in Bloomington. Either way his team will be playing next
year in the MYBA. Mr. Hewett further stated that Bob Kershaw is the coach of another Eden
Prairie 13 year old team that will also be playing the MYBA league in 1997. The MYBA league is
a St. Paul based youth baseball league. (Mr. Klinkhammer was under the impression MYBA had
folded and wouldn't be operating in 1997.)
Brad Hewitt then submitted a proposal that the Eden Prairie Baseball Association reorganize and
divide into two organizations, one to represent travel teams and one to represent in-house teams,
similar to the Soccer Association and Soccer Club. Three Board members would come from the
current Baseball Board and three from the Baseball Club would make up the new Board that would
handle all travel teams and the Baseball Association could handle all in-house teams.
Drew Bartley indicated that in his opinion the main goal of the Baseball Club is to hire paid coaches
to operate select teams that do not have an open or fair selection process.
Bartley indicated that he couldn't comment on such a proposal without taking it to the Board of
Directors of the Baseball Association.

Lambert asked the Baseball Club if they had a written set of bylaws that addressed many of these
issues that they were accusing the Baseball Association of disregarding, such as the coaches selection
process,an open voting process that is open to any resident of Eden Prairie, a fair evaluation process,
a discipline policy,tax exempt number from the IRS, etc. Brad Hewett indicated that they had all of
those things in writing with the exception of a tryout process because they only have one team.
Lambert requested that he provide the written documentation to the City as soon as possible. Hewitt
committed to provide it to the City on Thursday, December 12. As of this writing, none of the
documentation has been provided;however, it will be attached if it is provided in time for the packet.

Mr. Kirk Detlefsen
2800 East Cliff Road
Burnsville, MN 55337
Dear Mr. Detlefsen:
As directed by the Metro Baseball League Board of Directors, I attended the December 11 special meeting of the
Eden Prairie Park Board. The sole purpose of this meeting was to gather and digest information pertaining to
the standard operating procedures of the Eden Prairie Baseball Association and to address the concerns/
assumptions of Mr. Brad Hewitt, who was representing a small parent group from Eden Prairie. Previously Mr.
Hewitt and his constituents had formed an independent 13 year old traveling baseball team, and they have
petitioned the Metro Baseball League to accept them as a member team for the 1997 season. They have also
made request to the Eden Prairie Park Board for the use of the city-owned playing fields. -
A total of 10 people were present at the meeting, including myself. In a nutshell, the EPBA President, Drew
Bartley, enumerated and detailed the recent actions taken by the EPBA to address the issues raised by Mr.
Hewitt. Bartley explained that the EPBA Board of Directors has
•
1) adopted a democratic election process for the Board of Directors.
2) established a"confidential" system for post-season coaches' evaluation.
3) taken the appropriate steps to re-establish their status as a recognized nonprofit organization.
4) revamped.their process of coaches' selection for the traveling program.
5) agreed to have a written disciplinary policy for coaches and players.
6) rewritten their tryout, draft and trade policies.
Throughout this two-hour exchange of accusations and explanations, it became apparent to me that the Eden
Prairie Baseball Association was being responsive to many of the points previously raised by Mr. Hewitt and his
constituents: It was also quite obvious to me that Mr. Hewitt came to this meeting with his own agenda, which
was to propose that the basic structure of the EPBA be changed to allow for a separate organization for the in-
house program and a separate organization for the traveling program.
Toward the end of the meeting, Mr. Hewitt announced that they supposedly had withdrawn their application to
play in the Metro Baseball League over a month ago and that his independent team had already been accepted as
l.0

Mr. Kirk Detlefsen

a member of the MYBA. I found this news to be rather interesting, since you and I had recently attended a
meeting of the MYBA communities and they had confirmed that the Rosendahl family had no intention of
continuing with the MYBA. According to Mr. Hewitt, the MYBA already has eighteen 13 year old teams paid
for the 1997 season. I find this very hard to believe, don't you?
In retrospect, since Mr. Hewitt has withdrawn his request to play in the Metro Baseball League, this is now a
non-issue for our MBL Board of Directors. However, should they decide to reapply under these same
conditions, it would be my personal recommendation that this group be refused admission to the league. I
believe that the EPBA has taken appropriate action and have responded in an expedient and responsible manner.
I was very impressed with Mr. Bartley's factual account of actions taken and his organized documentation of the
process and plan to move forward.
To conclude, in my personal estimation, Mr. Hewitt's group leaves the impression that they are not willing to
compromise. Additionally, it is my opinion that the actions of this independent team are in conflict with the basic
philosophy of the Metro Baseball League.
Should you have any further questions, please call me at 781-2220.
Best Regards,
Dan Klinkhammer

Mr. Kirk Detlefsen
President-Metro League

Burnsville, Mn_ 55337
Dear Mr_ Detlefsen:
I would like to take the time to con-ect a letter that was written by Dan Klinkhammer in
which he attempts to recap a meeting that was held in Eden Prairie at our City offices
concerning the Eden Prairie Baseball Club's request for field space_
To begin with the meeting was held with two representatives from the EPBA and two
representatives from the EPBC along with two Eden Prairie Park council members and our Park
Director and his associates_
This meeting was not held to address"Brad Hewitt's"concerns, but the concerns of many
parents. I would take more offense to Mr. Klinkhammer's further statement of"It was quite
obvious to me that Mr. Hewitt came to this meeting with his own agenda", except that after
talking with Mr. Klinkhammer these kind of misguided statements should not surprise me.
Mr. Klinkhammer then goes on to discuss the MYBA league as if he has FULL knowledge
of their operation (when in fact he is using partial details at best)_
The proposal that Mr. Klinkhammer talks briefly about, was one that not only our group thought
was a compromise (three members from each group unite to form new structure)
but also other members in attendance of the meeting_
Kirk, as you can tell by Mr. Klinkhammer's own words the EPBA has had numerous problems
that brought this action on and we take offense to his veiled threats that because we stand up for
what we believe in, and just want a Baseball field, Mr_ Klinkhammer recommends that we not be
allowed to play in the Metro Baseball League.
Kirk, if you have any questions or want to knowthe truth on what went on in our meeting I
recommend you contact anyone else but Mr. Klinkhammer.
Sincerely,
Brad Hewitt

A. Eden Prairie Baseball Club Request
Staff referred the Commission to a memo dated December 20, 1996, from
Robert A. Lambert, Director of Parks, Recreation and Facilities; a letter
dated December 16, 1996, from Dan Klinkhammer, Minnesota Youth
Athletic Services, a fax dated December 31, 1996, from the Eden Prairie
Baseball Club; and a letter dated December 19, 1996, from Brad Hewitt,
Eden Prairie Baseball Club.
Lambert explained at the December 11 meeting representatives of the Eden
Prairie Baseball Club(EPBA)were asked if they had bylaws and if they had
rules that were addressing the issues that they opposed in the operation of
the Eden Prairie Baseball Association(EPBA). The EPBA said they do and
would fax it to the City on December 12. It did not come until January 2.
It was not actually drafted or incorporated until December 27 so they gave
inaccurate statements when they said they had articles of incorporation and
bylaws, as well as a tax exempt number on December 11. According to the
Articles of Incorporation, they do not have many of the rules that they were
accusing EPBA of not having.
One of the major concerns of the EPBA was who can vote in the EPBA. In
the EPBA's rules, only parents of children that are on the team can vote.
However,they have only invited certain children to be on the team and they
have not opened it up to the community. Therefore, this is a catch 22 type
2

of situation. One of the things that EPBA was demanding of the EPBA is that
"any resident of the community" should be able to vote for the EPBA Board
of Directors. "The only requirement should be 18 years old, resident of the
community, and simply have an interest in baseball." This is much looser
than the EPBA's own Articles of Corporation.
It was very disappointing that they were making numerous demands of the
EPBA and then to imply they had rules that covered all those things when,
in fact,they did not have anything written and didn't write their own bylaws
with the same criteria they demanded of the EPBA. The bottom line is that
it was very apparent that a lot of things were said between people that have
caused such hard feelings for at least three or four of the parents of the EPBA
that they're going to provide their own team no matter what. They want to
see that the EPBA makes the changes and operates with the changes before
they would go back to that organization.
The City does not have detailed enough standards or definitions of priorities
to pick between two local athletic associations. Staff recommended finding
a field for the EPBA for next year as a one year deal only. This would allow
the Parks Commission to work with representatives of all the different
associations on standards of field usage and a much more detailed definition
of priorities. The City has to get more involved. Staff believes they can
offer the EPBA one field use per week at Franlo Park for games or practice.
Jacobson commented he shared the same feelings with Lambert about the
meeting that EPBA was misleading about their documents.
Bowman said he was very disappointed in the EPBA's practices and
policies. He believes if the Park and Recreation Department was more
involved in reviewing what the policies were, this whole thing could have
been avoided. He was also disappointed in the lack of adequate policies
they said they had and was concerned about whether they came up with a tax
status number. They have one group accusing a number of items which they
appear to be just as bad or worse. He supported staffs recommendation as
a single one year deal only until the City gets their policies and procedures
set in place. Lambert noted the EPBA has not presented a tax number yet,
and it is unlikely they could have one for several months if they were
incorporated on December 27.

Monday,January 6, 1997
Koenig was concerned about setting a precedent for the other athletic
associations. Lambert disagreed because this is decision is for a one time
basis only. They don't have policies and are now going to develop policies
so from here on anything prior to the policy is null and void.
Wilson commented there isn't any question that the EPBA doesn't have a tax
number because they were only incorporated on the 27 of December. The
problem with the EPBA is even though they have lots of house teams, they
have a limited number of travel teams relative to maybe the number of travel
teams that hockey has. Hockey has a book of policies and procedures that's
as thick as a phone book so they can deal with all the things that come up.
Hilgeman stated she was uncomfortable with staffs recommendation because
the memo says the fields will have to be taken away from another
organization like girls' softball. This just isn't fair to them. There needs to
be one season of cooling off and they should do it in Bloomington like they
said they would if they don't get a field. Lambert explained last year they
opened up Miller Park and gave girls' softball four lighted fields which is
equivalent to eight fields. They booked a lot of those fields and gave single
teams an entire field for a season. That team, in effect, got seven day
exclusive use every week for a team that might use it one or two days a
week. This is one of the reasons for having some standards on how many
uses per week each team is going to get. The Parks Commission and the City
Council should decide this, not the have athletic associates dictate it to the
City. Hilgeman noted she now supported staffs recommendation based on
Lambert's assurance they will be utilizing space that was not fully utilized
before.
Brown commented these kids played last year in the travel team league in
Eden Prairie. He said if the City is going to have a trial why would it not be
equally fair to ask the EPBA to give the EPBA another year trial. The EPBA
made the changes the EPBA was asking for. He was disappointed about how
the adults acted since they are supposed to be teaching sportsmanship. He
suggested giving the EPBA, with their changes, a year trial with an open
door that any member of the club, any team player, or any parent could come
and complain and let the City know what's going on. After all, there has
been years of successful operation up to this point. He doesn't like people
making demands to the Commission. They need to say the City runs the
fields. He was not in favor of giving a year trial and they would be giving
in to a policy that he feels is not conducive to the way the City should run.

He needs to look at 2000 kids and not be worried about 20. He suggested
delaying a vote on this until further information.
Hilgeman noted that the meeting on December 11 was an attempt to see if
that was a possibility for the EPBA to give the EPBA that one year trial. It's
water under the bridge and it's not going to happen.
Lambert said the Commission would not receive any new information if they
delay the vote. The City Council gets this in two weeks and the Commission
needs to make a decision. He noted what has kept limitations on travel teams
hasn't been facilities so much as it has been talent. The association decides
how many travel teams they want based on how many teams they think could
be competitive in those leagues. The Commission has to remember these
people are all volunteers. They volunteer a lot of their time to provide
recreation for these kids. A lot of them are on the Board of Directors for
years because you can't get that many people that are going to volunteer that
much of their time. Even though the EPBA may have evolved into "a good
old boys" club over the years, it was not done with malice or intentionally.
They are making changes very quickly.
MOTION 1: Brown moved that the Commission refuse the request of the
Eden Prairie Baseball Club, that the City can not supply a field due to the
fact they may not have any.
The motion failed for lack on a second.
Koenig expressed concerned about miscellaneous use of the fields for
company use or neighborhood use. Lambert replied the only field they have
tried to keep open and not reserve for athletic use is the field at Staring Lake
Park. They keep that open for company picnics, family reunions, and things
of that nature. Every other field that is in playable condition is really
reserved for the athletic association's use.
MOTION 2: Brown moved, seconded by Koenig, to deny the Eden Prairie
Baseball Club's request and ask them to wait until the Eden Prairie Baseball
Association and the Eden Prairie Softball Association come up with their
total numbers to see if there is a field available; and if the fields are
available, there will be one usage available per week per team in the Eden
Prairie Baseball Club. Motion failed 3-3 with the no votes by Bowman,
Jacobson, and Wilson.

MOTION 3: Wilson moved, seconded by Bowman, to accept staffs
recommendation to give the Eden Prairie Baseball Club one summer season
of one field use per week, and that they can not host a free tournament in
Eden Prairie during that time. Motion carried 4-2 with the no votes by
Brown and Koenig.
Brown requested that all the motions be forwarded to the City Council and
include the specifics as stated.
B. Commission Work Plan Update
Lambert indicated the Parks Commission will be meeting with the City
Council for their annual joint meeting to discuss the Work Plan. He
reviewed the proposed Work Plan and the objectives included in the packet
with the Commission to see if they had any revisions to be made.
It was noted one item not listed was the Deer Reduction Program which this
year is the third year of it. A three year program was approved to evaluate
it in three years which at the end of this winter will be the end of the three
years. He suggested a report be made that evaluates each area to determine
a recommendation of either continuing the program or modifying the
program. He did not recommend bringing that committee together again.
There is not enough information about that program to discuss at the joint
meeting.
Hilgeman was concerned that Top View Park was not listed and it should be.
The residents brought forth a petition back in 1993 and it has not been
answered yet.
Lambert said they have a lot of petitions they have not been able to respond
to. He noted the City said they would take the playground equipment from
the Senior Center area and move it there, and then it was determined the
equipment didn't meet safety standards. That was voted by the Parks
Commission and the City Council.
Hilgeman said it's a matter of principle and is something that's not going to
cost much money, $10,000 at the most. She recommended Top View Park
to be added to the list as M.
