Commission Members Present: Commission Members Absent: LeFebvre, Longbella and Rogers Anderson, Meyer and Nichols EXCLUSIVE USE PROCEDURE Glen Rogers explained how Coon Rapids schedules their tournaments. Among other things, the games have to be scheduled by April 1st and they require a $300.00 damage deposit. Chairman Mand didn It believe there would be any problem in scheduling tournaments in Andover until there was at least one more field. He also felt preference should be given to youth groups. The following are changes in the existing exclusive use procedure: 1. Entitle DAILY USE PERMITS. 1. 3. Should read: "The City shall be reimbursed for any lost or damaged equipment by the reserving party. II. Entitle TOURNAMENTS. II. 1. Change to: 30 days in advance. II, 3. Change to: A user fee, as established by City Council Resolution, shall be charged... 11.4. Change to: A minimum damage deposit, as established by City Council Resolution, shall be made... 11.6. Change to read the same as I. 3. 11.9. Change to read: ...reservations must be made at least 30 days prior to start of season. First come, first served; local athletic organizations have priority. Delete 2. through 5. under Section III as these items are covered by the proposed fee resolution which is less restrictive. IV. Add the word hardship after grievance. This would cover the requests for use of the ballfields for those organizations with little or no money. (Brownie troops/Cub scouts, etc.) The sentence regarding police coverage was then discussed. If a request for something like a rock concert is received, the Commission felt this would be a City Council decision. PROPOSED RESOLUTION o league The Commission felt the damage deposit for/participants over the age of 18 should be $100.00 since this age group is more likely to drink beer and cause damage or litter. Add: Non-league groups over the age of 18 - $50.00, for the same reason as previously mentioned. The amount is less because this would include church groups or other non- drinking groups. Damage deposit shall be retained by the City Clerk until after the reservation date. The reason for this is to eliminate the bookkeeping expense and the necessity for issuing a City refund check. The field use and facility use permits need no changes. Glen Rogers thought possibly a drop box could be installed at City Hall which would eliminate the need for someone to return any keys issued within 24 hours; this box could also be used for utility payments. Revoking permits is not specifically mentioned but is implied under the grievance portion of the exclusive use policy. Glen Rogers commented possibly one person could purchase a beer license and hold 100 tournaments. Requests for beer licenses have to be approved by the City Council; this would be their responsibility. Copies of the proposed exclusive use procedure, fee resolution, field and facility use permits will be sent to the City Council for their comments. User fees were mentioned but no amounts set as it was felt possibly the City Council should set these fees. VFW Clubs, Legions, etc. are termed non-profit but " 0 aage #~ - May 17~79 ParkjRecreation Commission Meeting o u they do make a profit. These monies are used in the community; possibly user fees could be used only for improving City parks. o ORDINANCE 10D The Commission was advised no word has been received from P & Z Chairman d'Arcy Bose11. She offered to obtain Councilman Jacobson's notes and redraft this amendment. GRANT APPLICATIONS The Commission had just received a copy of the 1980 grant application and had not had a chance to review it. Chairman Mand stated by reading #10 under general criteria, it sounds like if you apply for a local launch project, you are also eligible for an additional grant. Perhaps Andover could apply for a grant for the Crooked Lake project and also apply for one at Crooked LaKe School. He then mentioned he was told some of the playground equipment, scheduled for disposal, was only three years old. There is a workshop for grant applicants, May 24th, to help them fill out the forms. The State Planning Agency also has suggestions on how to limit the size of boat motors and also lake zoning to control the size of watercraft. Chairman Mand went on to state that he met with Del Barber of the DNR last Thursday at the Crooked Lake Boat Landing, Mr. Barber said this area had good potential for an improved boat landing and thought the DNR would be interested in purchasing the two properties between the parks, possibly all the property at the north end of Crooked Lake. They would remove the buildings and do some improvements. After this is done, they would then turn the property over to the City for maintenance and further improvements. However, one of their stipulations is that this park has to be open to the public 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, Mr. Barber stated he would turn in a request for this acquisition and development. Their money will be available on July 1, 1979. The DNR will also help with a site plan for the park. Also mentioned was Crooked Lake froze out this year. Glen Rogers believes it is 28 ft. deep in spots. The secretary was asked to obtain depth maps from the DNR for both Crooked Lake and Round Lake. SAND POINTS Chairman Mand stated he obtained a quote on sand points from Chicago Supply. A 2"x4' 60 ga. stainless steel sandpoint is $90,00. Pipe runs from $1.70 to $3.00 a foot depending on new or used or size. This is a 10% discount on orders over 100 ft. of pipe. SOCCER ASSOC. Bill LeFebvre stated they felt they would delay playing on the City Hall field until the grading is done and it is seeded. Chairman Mand mentioned there is an area in Fox Meadows that is suitable for a soccer field. PARKTO~ Three members of the Commission were absent so this subject will be carried over to the next regularly scheduled meeting. o Motion by Rogers, seconded by Longbe11a to adjourn.

Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455 May 16, 1979 Wes ~~an d 3457 - 141st Lane N.W. Andover, Minnesota 55303 Dear Mr. ~~and: I have looked through the research information I have on the Rum River that pertains to the area near your proposed city park land. I wish I could give you specific information but I can't give you much at this time. This is a two year study and we are only half way through it. I have some overall information from the general computer summary of the study so far. But I haven't wanted to analyze or breakdown the information by specific geographic areas or stretches of the river yet becausB I sti I I don't have all the surveys in. It is quite expensive to do the breakdowns and I want to only do it once after I have al I the information from al I the surveys. So, here are some of the information bits I can get from looking at the genera I study: I. Considering the whole river, sl ightly more than half of the users think there should be more access points. (I mistakenly told you on the phone that th i s was the other way around. It's the I and- owners who are against more access points.) 2. When asked if they considered the river crowded, over 80% indicated that the river was not crowded. But, of those who indicated the river was crowded, the main place indicated was at the landing in Anoka. You may consider this encouraging if you feel your devel- opment would rei ieve the crowding at Anoka. 3. I'm not sure where your park is, but the highway 7 bridge is used as an access both by those coming down river from above and those going down to Anoka. This is the main spot on the river where river users mentioned having confl ict with a landowner, so there is a need for a better access point either at the bridge or in the immediate area. " \ ) 4. The section of the river that gets the most use is that section between St. Francis and Anoka. This was pretty wel I known before I started the study. i'- '; '-- () u o o o -2- 5. Of the people using the lower Rum - St. Francis to Anoka - the average distance traveled on each occasion was about 10 mi les and the average length of trip In time was about 4 hours. Approximately a third of the users at Anoka both put in and take out there rather than begin their trip up river and end up there. 6. On the lower Rum, when asked to indicate where more access or campsites should be developed, the users indicated a need for such development at the Highway 7 area and in the mile 7 area of the river. I hope this information can help you. I recommend that you contact the Rivers Section of the Parks and Recreation Division of DNR in St. Paul. In the proposed management plan for the Rum, the DNR made some site recommen- dations for development of access and camping on the river. An access, rest area, and campsite were proposed for the Rum River Central Regional Park on the west side of the river just above the Highway 7 bridge. This may have some bearing on your proposal, too. Again, I apologize for the general nature of the information in this letter. It is all I have now at this stage of the study. I hope it assists you in some way. Sinc;erely, / Yo .11tc {jlk7- Leo H. McAvoy Assistant Professor LHM: I bt o o u o 0 CITY 01 ANDOVER o .'

We see no problem with this suggestion and UPA does agree with your use of the easement area for the field. I understand that the only type of structure that will be needed for the soccer field is a soccer net on either end and that the net will only be six to eight feet high. If you require any type of pole or structure taller than this, please let us know the height so that we can verify its safety with the requirements of the National Electrical Safety Code.
