DATE: November 1, 2018
INTRODUCTION
The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to continue discussing revisions to the
Tournament, Multi -day and Jamboree Application.
DISCUSSION
Attached is the application with the revisions suggested by the Park and Recreation Commission
at the last meeting on October 4, 2018 which includes the question on how parking overflow will
be addressed by the applicant. As mentioned at the October 4th meeting, the City has had
concerns with parking, specifically at Prairie Knoll Park and a couple times at Sunshine Park.
Attached is the proposed updated application for softball/baseball, football/soccer/lacrosse and
hockey.
Staff has discussed the issues with the Anoka County Sheriff's Department and they are in favor
of requiring parking attendants as they have more important items to attend to other than writing
citations for parking violations.
The one other item that is recommended is to allow administrative staff to approve one day
application requests if the request does not conflict with other previously approved activities.
ACTION REQUIRED
The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to discuss and consider recommending
revisions to the City Council that has been presented by staff.
Respectfully submitted,
Todd J. Haas

SUBJECT: 6. Consider Revisions to Application for Scheduled Use of Recreational
Facilities, Cont.
DATE: November 1, 2018
INTRODUCTION
The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to continue discussing revisions to the
Application for Scheduled Use of Recreational Facilities.
DISCUSSION
This item was tabled at the last meeting based on comments that the Park and Recreation
Commission wanted to see in the application. Attached is the application with the revisions
suggested by the Park and Recreation Commission at the last meeting on October 4, 2018. As
mentioned at the last meeting, the City has had concerns with parking, specifically more at
Prairie Knoll Park and a couple times at Sunshine Park. Based on input from the last meeting, the
language in the application is generally the same as the tournament applications that were
addressed in the previous agenda item (Item 5).
As mentioned at the last meeting on October 4t", the City has been receiving calls from the
neighbors about vehicles parking in the ditch at Prairie Knoll Park this fall during regular
scheduled activities at the park and in designated no parking areas.
Staff has discussed the issues with the Anoka County Sheriff's Department and they are in favor
of requiring parking attendants as they have more important items to attend to other than writing
citations for parking violations.
The one other item that has been included in the application addresses requests from applicants
that are only wanting a one -day use of parks and/or facilities. It is recommended to allow
administrative staff to approve these types of requests if the request does not conflict with other
previously approved activities.
ACTION REQUIRED
The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to consider recommending revisions to the
City Council that has been presented by staff.
