I talked to Ralph Clover at Burnsville regarding the problems we were having with our snowblower. He said they had similar problems with their's at first. They then reversed their snowblower; and instead of pulling it behind the tractor, they drive the tractor in reverse and plow into the snow. They also put chains on the tractor -- the chains won't chip up the ice if the tractor is driven in a low gear and driver is careful and does not spin the wheels. Also, they can blow off any type of snow that falls, We couldn't. Three- fourths of our problems could he eliminated if our snow- blower worked good. Burnsville bolted hard rubber on the bucket of the blower and this works as a squeegee. They also have a hard rubber arm sticking out about 12" to 18 ". They make their first pass around the boards, then they clean the rink. When they are finished cleaning, they make a pass at the snow they have built up and get all the snow outside the rink without using scoop shovels. They figure any time spent on a shovel is wasted man hours. Mr. Clover suggested that the gates should not be put on the ends as it would give us a great deal more trouble. We should never put a plow on the ice said Mr. Lyle Rude of Bloomington as there would be no need to if we use the snow- blower in reverse. I didn't get to see any of Burnsville's equipment as they had it all taken apart for the summer months. Mr. Clover did suggest that we put the snowblower on a different tractor than we have our brush on so the tractor wouldn't be so long and could get into corners easier and faster. Burnsville invited me to come over and work with them one day next year, and they would show me some of these methods for fast snow removal. page 2 Everything Burnsville does has been copied from Bloomington. When Bloomington cleans rinks, they have one man on a tractor with a brush and a wing on the side -- another man will follow him in with the snowblower. They will finish a rink in 15 minutes. As soon as they are out, a tanker truck will go in and in 3 to 5 minutes put a fine spray on the rink. We started talking about what type of truck would best suit our needs. I inquired if they ever used a 3/4 -ton with a plow, and Bloomington had three of them and got rid of them because in using them for this kind of work they were always wearing out the front hub. Burnsville has two now, but they don't use them for ice maintenance. They are now using a small dump with a plow. They only use the 3/4's for cleaning out gates and parking areas. Neither Burnsville or Bloomington use plows on their skating rinks. However, the 3/4's are especially useful in the summer. Mr. Rude gave me a tour of the Bloomington garage and their equipment. With their tank trucks, they do all flooding of rinks. When making base, they use the escape tube on the bottom of the tank. The tank capacity is 3,000 gallons. They can dup it all in 3 to 5 minutes. After the base is made, they use the spray for a nice glassy surface. When putting on the surface, they use an unmeasurable amount of water. They try not to flood when the temperature is below -5 ° . I told them sometimes we will knock out some of our berms because of over - flooding. They said with the trucks that would eliminate the problem. They also go out before the frost and keep the rinks wet so when the frost comes it is a harder base. They also told me if we had any other questions to let them know. They know what we are going through as it was not too long ago that they were in the same position. 12 -8 -70 H. & V.

PM "PM s CITY HALL Mrs. Alice Bolke Village of Eagan Village Hall 3795 Pilot Knob Road St. Paul, Minnesota 55122 Dear Sir: Qt itp of PLi Alinnezota 55066 PHILIP L. DEATON, COUNCIL ADMINISTRATOR February 26, 1974 The City of Red Wing is presently considering a course of action which would initiate a city- sponsored summer recreation program to replace summer programs which have been dropped by the school district. The City presently provides ball fields, park facilities, and a municipal swimming pool. However, given the diversity of childrens' interests, we feel that recreation resources should be distributed to advance a variety of non -team oriented activities. The local YMCA does an excellent job of providing organized little league baseball and other activities, but these activities only tap select groups of children and cannot provide the breadth of recreational opportunity that is possible. Accordingly, we are beginning to focus some attention on the possibility of utilizing physical facilities to offer short workshops, for example, a week long basketball workshop, karate, etc. Since Red Wing does not staff recreation professionals we are somewhat at a disadvantage in measuring the potential for these kinds of activities. Some cities provide much the same type of program through a fee - charge system. We would greatly benefit from any historical experience that you have gained regarding municipal provision of summer recreation in your own city. Many cities have grappled with this problem; we would be curious to know how you have treated it. Please mail any brochures, flyers, activity outlines, commentaries, program justifications and any other materials explaining summer recreation programs in your community to: Craig M. Ayers City Hall Box 1 Red Wing, Minnesota 55066 page 2 Part of our problem lies in the identification of costs associated with recreation programs. If your program is year round, please send us any budgeting information and program costs which might be helpful in understanding city involvement in recreation programming. Your assistance in providing this information is generously appreciated. Thank you. cc: Ron Hendrickson Dick Chase Louis.

However, there have been complaints on certain matters. Also, some parts of the Job Description need clarification. So we are sending each attendant this review of those areas where problems exist. . 1. Clean up houses. Empty cans into bags. Leave them inside the house and we will pick them up. 2. We need your help! Every time you work, make sure the edges of the rinks are clean. Don't leave ice chips and snow by sides of rink because it freezes in the ice and makes subsequent snow removal and flooding difficult. Scoop it over the side. 3. Always turn out lights at night - even when you expect a flooding crew. This is still your responsibility. 4. Before leaving for the night, turn down heat to 5° 'above lowest setting. 5. Before leaving for the night, make sure light boxes are locked. 6. Keep satellite'door clear of snow. 7. Shovel a path from the house to the rink where necessary. 8. Shovels and brooms must be left inside houses when not in use. 9. New steps and ramps have been built for the houses. Shelves for boot storage have also been built. They will be installed as soon as possible. 1. While on duty: a. Do not play hockey at all - either with boots on or skates on. b. Do not officiate a hockey game. c. Do not watch a hockey game to the point pf neglecting your other duties. 2. You are encouraged to skate while in the process of supervising each rink. It is important both the rinks as well as the house is watched. 3. Keep hockey sticks and pucks off free skating rink. Exception - A small child just learning to skate and trying out his hockey stick is not going to hurt anyone. - -Use your judgeiaent! 4. Protect smaller children using hockey rink. Sometites the older kids take over the rink and by their speed and rough play, force the smaller ones out. 5. Do not sell candy and pop. 6. Do not watch television while on duty. (Radios are okay.) 7. When an accident or vandalism occurs, notify the Park Committee member in charge of the rink. 8. Do NOT smoke inside warming house. 9. Wear the identification arm bands. HOURS - Reread your Job Description 1. When cold weather or a snowfall occurs, do not close up immediately and send everyone home. Finish out that work session. Example - You start work at 3:30 and by 4 :30 the temperature has dropped "to 0°. You will work until 5:00 (which is the end of that work session) If the temperature is still below zero at 6:00, do not open. You will work again the next day if the temperature is above 0 at the time you are supposed to open. Exception: When a hockey game or practice is scheduled, you will keep the warming house open regardless of the temperature. (Unless you are informed differently by your Park Committee member.) 2. When the ice becomes soft due to warm weather, and you see that skating is cutting up the ice, that is when you close up and tell the skaters to stay away until the temperature drops to below freezing. - 2 - 3. When you and the other attendant assigned to your house are coordinating hours distribution, include those extra hours when hockey teams will be using rink. (Hockey schedules are posted.) When these hours are before regular hours, you are to open 15 minutes prior to when the game or practice begins. Example: If the schedule reads, "Sat. 9:00 a.m. - 1:30 p.m." you and the other attendant will decide who will open at 8 :45 a.m. If the schedule reads, "Wed. 5 :00 p.m. - 9:30 p.m." you and the other attendant will decide who will work during the dinner hour. 4. When completing the time sheets, do not fill in any of the spaces unless you have worked during that time. 5. Turn in time sheets weekly - no later than the Tuesday following the Saturday ending the work week.

The total purchase price was $160,000.00. The price per acre was about $2,400.00 per acre. 1 belieff° you stated that a copy of an appraisal from J. E.

A later appraisal of June 16, 1971 indicates that he gaave.the same appraisal for the site. A purchase agreement dated May 24, 1971 between Edward E. Parranto as buyer and Sylvia Chapdelaine as seller covering a total of 69.51 acres including; the parcel purchased by the Village reflected a total purchase price of $160.000.00 with a selling price of $2,400.00 per acre. Mr. Richard Budding housing & Urban Development January 31, 1974 The purchase between the Village of ilapan and Parranty lirothers, Inc. as sellers of 20 acres also reflected $2,400.00 per acre for a total purchase price of $48,000.00. The purchase by Eagan commenced as an ontion agreement doted March 10, 1972 and the option was exercised about April 15, 1972. The closin took place on Auust 1, 1972. Development in that are was moving at a fast pace as you may realize durirw that one year period and for that reason new appraisals were acquired and submitted to your office in late 1973. They included an appraisal from Edward A, Kuntz as of June 15, 1972 indicating a fair narket value of $48,010.00 nnd fro pl C. R. Felton Assoc. dated August 3, 1972 reflecting a reasonable market value of $51,600.00. A copy of each of these appraisals is on file with your office. There has been some question as to whether the Village of Eagan acquired only the low land and admittedly a portion of it is. However, the park property does have access from Chapel Lane to the N E and could have been a very desirable site for multiple or some similar use. A portion of the land has n very steep bluff on the South side of the lake and was not acquired by the village even though consideration had been ;!,iven to acquire that parcel. 1 aci havitv a contour nap of the area prepared reflecting the portion of the parcel of land acquired by the Village which miht be helpful to OD officials. Also an additional viewin miht be desirable. Plid: ras cc: Zrbara Schnidt John VOos Alyce - Uolke Very truly yours, Paul h. tieue Page 2 PAUL H. HAUGE GEORGE H.

PAUL), MINNESOTA 55122 (612) 454-4224 January 30, 1974 Patricia Mack Nousing and Urban Development Office Griggs ?Midway Building 1821 University Avenue St. Paul, Minnesote Dear Ms. Mack: RE: City of Eagan I talked with you on January 25, 1974 concerning the application of the City of Eagan for park acquisition funds. You indicated that you have now taken over the Eagan project from Garland Davie and that you will be handling the project to its conclusions. Minneapolis Office Suite 2210 • IDS Center Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402 (812) 338 -8381 I have a copy of a letter of July 23, 1973 signed by Mr. Feeney indicating that the Eagan application was extended until January 24, 1974 to allow for completion of the acquisitions. I an requesting an additional six month extension of time for the application particularily as it relates to parcel No. 5 acquired from Richard and Edwafid Parranto and Parcel #3 now owned by Martin Schields. I are attempting to get information for Mr. Budding relating to Parcel No. 5 The Parranto parcel and will be forwarding this shortly. I would suspect, however, that it may take several weeks before the final determination by hUD will be made as to that parcel. As to parcel No. 3, City officials have been working with an adjacent property owner, Univac, for any months and we are now commencing acquisition procedures under the 1973 HUD regulations. We are ordering the appraisals shortly and will begin negotiations, butthere may very well involve condemnation proceedings. TAI would also appear that we would need an extension of time for all parcels other than the two..saentioned above until HUD makes its final approval, any an extension of up to six months relating to the Parranto property and perhaps one years extension on the Shields property. If these requests appear to be reasonable, would your office please respond. Patricia Mack Housing & Urban Development St. Paul, Minnesota 55104 January 30, 1974 It is my understanding that the approval of the distribution of the funds on all parcels other than parcels No. 3 and No. 5 will be made in the near future in spite of the fact that the final determination an those two parcels has not been made.
