Working cooperatively with staff from other City departments, the road alignment was shifted to preserve as many trees as possible. However, this single bur oak was still too close to the new road. It would have to be cut down or moved to a new site. Extensive research was conducted to determine whether or not the tree could be successfully moved to a new site near the entrance to the new Community Center. Here it would serve as a focal point for the City when visitors approach the building. Although a tree this size has never been moved in Minnesota, large trees have been successfully moved for many years in other parts of this country and in the U.K. Funding the Project The Eagan Foundation, a non -profit organization dedicated to meeting the needs of the community, decided to get involved with the project because it wanted to plant a "large" tree in the park. Kay Brown - Gustafson, a Foundation member and Chair of the Grandfather Tree Project, feels that this project is a perfect way to remember the original Lone Oak Tree. In order to pay for the move, the Eagan Foundation is seeking donations for the Grandfather Tree Project. Thus far, the Foundation has raised much of the $50,000 needed to cover the cost of moving the tree. In addition to moving the tree, the total cost includes a "Grandfather Tree Society" bench that will the names of seven people or groups who have donated $5,000 or more towards the effort. A bronze plaque designed to resemble an open book will also be placed next to the tree. It will tell the story of the Lone Oak Tree and include a list of all donors to the project. The Foundation has also created the Century Club and hopes to raise $100 from 100 people. Century Club members will have their hand print cast in a cement p'' in the bench plaza area. To make a donation to the Grandfather Tree Project, contact The Eagan Foundation, 1960 Cliff Lake Road, Suite 112, Eagan, MN 55122 or call Kay Brown - Gustafson at 651- 454 -6755. Eagan Parks and Recreation Moving the Tree National Shade, L.P., a firm from Houston, Texas .iat specializes in moving large trees, was contacted to determine how best to move the tree. The company is one of only two companies nationwide that specializes in moving large trees more than 24" in diameter. David Cox, general manager at National Shade, has been moving trees of this size and larger since 1994. He has moved about 100 giant trees and informed us that he has yet to lose one. National Shade, L.P. arrived in Eagan on May 31st and completed the move on June 8th. Moving the 27 -inch diameter bur oak involved excavating a root ball about 30 feet in diameter and 4 to 5 feet deep. The tree's roots and the soil surrounding them were wrapped in burlap and wire. Steel pipes were then hammered underneath the root ball to create a lifting platform that was used to lift the tree by hydraulic jacks onto a trailer while the tree remained in an upright position. The tree, soil and pipes weighed about 250 tons or about the same as 34 empty school buses. The trailer moved at walking speed across the adjacent Lockheed Martin parking lot to its new location near the entrance to the new Community Center, about 450 yards west of the current site. Fall 2001 Long -Term Care After the Move As a result of the trauma caused by the digging and root cutting process, all newly transplanted trees will typically experience a period of "transplant shock ". The Grandfather Tree is beginning to show symptoms of transplant shock including wilted and scorched leaves, minor twig dieback, and some premature leaf drop. These symptoms are a normal response to being transplanted. So far, the Grandfather Tree appears to be doing very well considering what it just went through. The Grandfather Tree will be in "intensive care" for a number of years. However, proper site preparation, routine monitoring, and consistent follow - up care will reduce the amount of time the tree experiences transplant shock and will enable it to more quickly acclimate to its new home. In order to ensure the long -term health of the Grandfather Tree, a number of maintenance practices focused on reducing or eliminating unnecessary stresses were implemented shortly after the move was completed. When the final grading was completed, the entire "critical root zone", an area within a 50 -ft. radius of the main stem, was mulched with organic wood chips. Organic mulch moderates soil temperature, reduces soil moisture evaporation, adds organic matter to the soil, and supports soil microbial populations. A crown irrigation system was installed along with four soil moisture content sensors (tensiometers) that are monitored twice daily. The tree is irrigated when the .sensor gauge falls below a certain leveL Additionally, a chain -link fence was installed around the entire critical root zone to create a "do not disturb" area. Root stimulation with "mycorrhiza" inoculation was completed at no cost to the City on July 16th by a private contractor. The term mycorrhiza refers to a symbiotic (mutually advantageous) relationship between plant roots and fungi. The mycorrhizal fungi extract mineral elements and water from the soil . for their host plant, while living off of the sugars produced by the plant. Finally, crown condition inspections, root growth monitoring, and digital analysis of color & color infrared aerial photography will be periodically undertaken to monitor the long -term health of the Grandfather Tree. Please be sure to check out the Grandfather Tree Project web page for photos and current information: http://www.cieagan.mn.us/Forestrya/grandfather_tree.htm Park Maintenance Thanks to the forethought and effort of many past and present City officials and staff, the City of Eagan has 54 park areas totaling over 1300 acres in area. The parks offer something to meet most any need, from a soft trail through the woods to first class game fields. Because the majority of park use occurs during the evening or on weekends the magnitude of the park maintenance operation often goes unnoticed. This is a brief snapshot of how park maintenance happens. The park maintenance crew consists of 9 full time staff supplemented by up to 30 seasonal employees. From April through October the maintenance programs require staffing 7 days a week to meet the demands of the users and facilities. The maintenance day typically begins at 7:00 AM and lasts until 10:00 PM or later. Crews are assigned to a variety of shifts to accommodate activities and events or to maintain those areas that are only accessible in the evening. Last year nearly 33,000 hours of staff time were logged in park maintenance programs. The most time consuming maintenance activity is that of mowing /turf management. Each day during the mowing season, 11 mowing units, varying in capacity , from 6 feet to 16 feet are sent out on various routes. Nearly a square mile of turf is mowed over the course of a week. One route is assigned specifically to mow nearly 70 miles of boulevard along the pathways paralleling the County roads. Other staff is assigned to hand mowing and trimming. Fertilization with a low phosphorus fertilizer is done 2 to 3 times a year to help maintain thick healthy turf, minimizing the need for herbicides. The care of hundreds of acres of turf is not the only maintenance activity keeping the crews busy. Each week several hundred waste containers must be emptied. Over 70 ball field infields and 20 soccer fields must be prepared one or more times. Additional maintenance staff is assigned to work weekends to provide service for a variety of ball tournaments. Pavilions and restrooms must be cleaned 7 days a week to accommodate reservations and general daily use. Park amenities such as playgrounds, benches, tables, trails and game courts require constant inspection and repair. Nearly 1200 irrigation heads are maintained on the athletic sites. 8 The City is fortunate to have full time maintenance staff with the skill and training to undertake a variety of construction and repair projects that might otherwise require the use of contractual services, saving significant money. The City is one of only a handful of municipalities that installs its own play equipment allowing the money to be spent on the equipment rather than the installation. Other projects have included roof replacement, building remodeling, deck and wall construction and concrete work. The City of Eagan and its employees are proud of the park facilities and amenities the City provides to the public. An aggressive program of maintenance and improvement is an essential part of providing a quality experience for all users. Eagan Parks and Recreation Playground Update Cedar Pond Water Quality Demonstration Project The City of Eagan Parks and Recreation Department is committed to maintaining the best park acilities and playgrounds in the region. This year park staff inventoried which playgrounds were most in need of replacement and based on that inventory, selected installations at Cinnamon Ridge and Peridot Path Park. Cinnamon Ridge is located north of Cliff Road and just west of Cedar Avenue. Peridot Path Park is located north of Diffley west of Blackhawk Road. Both park playgrounds were originally installed in 1985 and have received many years of enthusiastic use. Cinnamon Ridge should be installed by the end of August and Peridot Path Park should be installed by early October 2001. The new playgrounds will be in compliance with new safety regulations that have been authorized since that time. Aesthetically the new play structures are very attractive and the durable materials they are built from should last even longer than the ones replaced. In addition to new play structures, each park selected will have old timber wall playground enclosures replaced by more durable modular retaining wall block. These attractive walls define the play space and when raised provide children and their parents a place to sit. A City of Eagan parks crew installed a third )layground earlier this year for Glacier Hills Elementary. This school is located off Wescott Road, between Pilot Knob Road and Lexington Avenue. This is a cooperative effort between the City and local school district. We hope you get out and enjoy the wonderful recreational opportunities Eagan has to offer. Fall 2001 In a collaborative effort between the City of Eagan Parks and Recreation Department and Dakota County, in close coordination with the City of Eagan Engineering Division, a water resources demonstration project is in full swing to beautify and restore same of the ecological integrity of Cedar Pond Park by restoring the native aquatic plant buffer zone around the wetland. Starting this past June, a 4- person Minnesota Conservation Corps (MCC) crew removed the retaining wall surrounding Cedar Pond in about one week. In early July, City staff lowered the water level two feet, and the MCC installed a silt fence at the water's edge. An operator and bulldozer from Dakota County then re- graded the banks of the wetland. In addition, the City and the MCC installed a Chilton limestone retaining wall. In mid July, the newly graded shoreline was seeded with native plants and covered with erosion control blanket and mulch by MCC and Sentence to Serve crews. At the same time, City staff constructed an information kiosk and excavated rainwater gardens. Work scheduled to be done in late July and August include completing the rain water gardens, the retaining wall, and the planting of plugs, shrubs and trees. The Minnesota DNR awarded a $5,000 grant to the City essentially to purchase native wetland plants for this project. In addition, at least $20,000 in funding is being made available to help implement the project by a grant through the Dakota County Environmental Education Program from the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, as recommended by the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources. 1 0 '").

ISI Testing Program The Ice Skating Institute (ISI) is a complete graded program of lessons with a high standard for correctness. The ISI Testing Program makes every effort for skaters to earn badges. We will test only those skaters ready to pass, so as to make it a positive environment for learning. As of now, test day will be at the end of each session. With the transition from one testing program to the other we want to take it a step at a time. Keep in mind that it is not uncommon for a skater to repeat a level before mastering all the skills required. Practice Ice ONLY skaters enrolled in the program may use the practice area. Skaters ages 5 and under may be accompanied by ONE PARENT during practice. Most classes have one half hour of practice time included with their lesson fee. Power /Technique and Freestyle classes DO NOT have practice time included with the fee. Skates and Skating Attire Our staff recommends boots of leather rather than vinyl or molded plastics. Blades should be properly sharpened. Double runners are not accepted. Excellent rental skates are available at the Eagan Civic Arena for a $2.00 charge when used during skating lessons.
