He said the cost would be astronomical. The lines are 30 ft. down. He also mentioned that Red Oaks East is slated for a ponding area. This morning he told me he has already talked to Phil about this. Tom Loucks called Monday and I asked him if they had any suggestions about maintenance equipment and about calling a special meeting and have him present. It sounded as though they have alot of information on equipment and he said he would call Phil. ~ o :-.J :.j {)yy 01 JlIMDOl/tEtRO MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council COPIES TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Park/Recreation Commission DATE:: June 8, 1977 REFERENCE: Great Oaks Estates The following motion was made at the Park/Recreation Commission meeting June 2, 1977 and is for your consideration: Motion by Rogers, segonded by Mand, to accept money in lieu of park land on the Great Oaks Estates plat.

Motion by Rogers, seconded by Pahl, to have park and street maintenance equipment placed on the City Council's June 21st agenda. Motion carried unanimously. The reason it is termed park and street maintenance equipment is because possibly the cost of such equipment could be shared if this equipment could serve a dual purpose. /Z// J Phil Rzeszutek Chairman ~- -\ o o u (\ () (,.-IY of AINJDO VIER MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and Council COPIES TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: Park/Recreation Commission DATE:: June 8, 1977 REFERENCE: Sanitary Sewer Stubs The following motion was made at the Park/Recreation Commission meeting June 2, 1977 and is for your consideration: Motion by Mand, seconded by Rogers, that we recommend to the City Council that any future sewer or water lines going past parks or proposed park sites be stubbed in.

MINNESOTA 55303 (612) 755-5100 SPECIAL PARK!RECREATION MEETING - JUNE 14, 1977 MINUTES A Special Meeting of the Park/Recreation Commission was called to order by Chairman Rzeszutek, June 14, 1977, at 7:35 p.m. at the Andover City Hall, 1685 Crosstown Blvd. N.W. in order to discuss the Community School Program. Commission Members Present: Lapham, Ma.n1 Pahl and Rogers Commission Members Absent: Ancheta and Strandmark Also Present: Lowell Kutches, Sandy Stroinki, Bob Jenson and Les McLaughlin - Crooked Lake T.A.P. Dennis Boos - Life Scout Items added to the Agenda: 1. Sprinkler 2. Eagle Scout Project COMMUNITY SCHOOL PROGRAM Mr. Kutches handed out a copy of the fact sheet and survey form to each Commission member. He stated they covered from l72nd to 133rd door to door and received 358+ responses. There were only 25 who were totally against the program. Broken down statistics on each of the four questions have not been compiled but will be by the June 21st City Council meeting. He went on to explain that 30% of a Coordinator's salary would be the School District's responsibility and 70% would be the City's responsibility. A part time program for the full school year would cost the City between $4300.00 and $4500.00. With a shorter program, August through December, it would cost an estimated $2000.00. Questions were asked of Mr. Kutches by the Commission such as the percentage of Andover students enrolled at Crooked Lake School; whether or not the State would pay the $1.00 per student to help defray costs; whether or not CETA funds were available, etc. Mr. Kutches was not sure but thought the Crooked Lake School enrollment was 95% or more Andover residents and he will check into this and the other items and have the answers by June 21st. Also by this Friday, 6-17-77, he will have a packet ready for the Council so they can review it before the meeting. MOTION by Lapham, seconded by Mand, that the Park/Recreation Commission recommends the City of Andover enter into an agreement with Anoka-Hennepin District #11 for the purpose of developing a Community School Program. Discussion: Where do our priorities lie? Equipment or Community School Program; we already have hired a park planner, the summer recreation program is costing us money. Mr. Kutches stated we only needed $2000.00 for a program to run from August to December. It was decided to tryout a Community School Program from August to December an~ if enough interest is shown by the citizens of Andover, try for a full school year program in 1978-1979. Page #2 Park/Recreation .. June 14, 1977 ~ o Commission Meeting (Special) () o AMENDED MOTION by Lapham, seconded by Mand, that the Park/Recreation Commission recommends the City of Andover enter into an agreement with Anoka-Hennepin District #11 for the purpose of developing a part time (August through December) Community School Program. Motion carried unanimously. SPRINKLER Chairman Rzeszutek explained to the Commission that the Lions arranged to have the City Hall ballfield leveled, black dirt added and seeded and the least we could do is see that it was watered decently. He has checked with Heinen & Mason and they have a unit that will do the job for between $70 and $80, but the hose would need some adapters. MOTION by Mand, seconded by Pahl, that we purchase a sprinkler from Heinen & Mason not to exceed $100.00. Motion carried unanimously. EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT Dennis Boos told the Commission that he is working toward becoming an Eagle Scout. One of the requirements to become an Eagle Scout is to complete a project which would benefit the City such as a recycling program, litter control, park improvement, etc. In the discussion that followed it was decided that the best project would be to create a nature trail in one of Andover's parks. The secretary furnished Mr. Boos a map showing the park locations and Chairman Rzeszutek circled several parks which would be conducive for a nature trail. He is going to check out the sites and return with "plans and specs" at the next regular Park/Recreation Commission meeting in July. o BUDGET (Added item) The City Clerk furnished the Commission with a sheet showing how much money has been spent so far this year. It looks as though there is enough for a Community School Program and equipment, especially if the cost of such equipment can be split between park and road maintenance. MOTION by Pahl, seconded by Rogers to adjourn meeting. Meeting adjourned 9:40 p.m. ~?~od-4 R e Ellen Bakke, Secretary o \. '-.-J , '\ '-~ , '\ '-J ( ) ~....
