MEMO city of eagan DATE: SEPTEMBER 11, 1997 TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION SUBJECT: SEPTEMBER COMMISSION MEETING Two items appearing on the regular agenda have resulted in a slight change in our usual pre-meeting tour of parks. Instead of visiting parks, we will make a brief visit to the David Craig backyard to see the encroachment into the park that has occurred. We will meet at the east entrance at 6:00 p.m., visit the Craig's, and then return to City Hall 2nd floor conference room to be brought up-to-date on the design plans for shelter/restroom buildings at Lexington-Diffley Athletic Fields. Jon Miller, Architect, will be present along with staff to review the plans that were put on hold several months ago waiting until a decision could be made about the CIP. This briefing will last until 7:00 p.m. The regular agenda gives the appearance of being brief. After the Department Happenings, the Commission can turn its attention to "Old Business". The two items listed on the agenda have individual reports for your review. Staff is seeking direction to on how to proceed on these two issues. The first item under "New Business" is the parkland encroachment that has occurred at Bridle Ridge Park. This is the site visited prior to the Commission meeting. Again, information has been provided in your packet in regards to this item. If members have question in regards to this after having read the information, please feel free to call so we can be prepared to respond to your inquiries. After the Park and Water Resources update, recreation staff will review the summer program reports. Staff has prepared brief reviews for inclusion in the packet. If there are no other items for the Commission, adjournment would be in order. For your information, I will not be at the next Commission meeting as I will be on a hunting trip in North Dakota from Oct.17-24. Respectfully submitted, Ken Vraa Director of Park and Recreation SEPTEMBER, 1997 DEPARTMENT HAPPENINGS 1. The Youth Development program has received a $1,000 "Targeted Community Fund" grant award from the Dakota Partnership for Healthy Communities. The grant money will be used for activities surrounding a project called The Right to a Healthy Life Fall Series. The Wescott neighborhood will be the focus. Activity will include a resource fair promoting drug prevention, a talent show featuring alternatives to drugs, establishing a neighborhood Crime Watch and a Climb Theatre residency that works with youth on developing drug refusal skills. The city's required watch is a minimum of 10% of the value of the grant in volunteer or seasonal staff hours and supplies. Community Action Council is a partner and Police Department staff will provide support to the project. 2. Staff are once again serving as liaison to the District 196 Community Education Advisory Council. An Eagan Area Council no longer exists. Reorganization by Community Education Department resulted in the elimination of Area Manager positions around whose work local Councils could advise. Of course, local issues can be presented at any occasion, should the need arise. 3. Over 30 Eagan Seniors participated in a salad luncheon at Oak Woods. The mix was fairly equal between Oak Woods residents and Community seniors. 4. Eagan Athletic Association fall sports all in full swing. Soccer participant numbers have grown to almost 1900 since the last Department Happenings report. And, football is holding steady at 20 teams. 5. Dakota Hills Middle School physical education, soccer and tennis programs are utilizing Northview facilities. The commission may recall that this use is part of the longstanding city/school agreement. 6. NYSCA coaches certification clinics will be offered to EAA basketball and wrestling the week of October 6. 7. Eagan High School and Dakota Hills Middle School have a full slate of practices and watches scheduled at the Northview Courts. The site will be used for the Wildcat Invitational tournament on Saturday, September 20. Stop by and view some great tennis. Many of Eagan High's players are past participants in the Department's camps and leagues. 8. The Sand Volleyball leagues have completed their season's play. Evaluations are requesting a longer season, which in reality is governed by daylight hours. 9. The McDonald's restaurant on Diffley at Lexington has requested a schedule of youth soccer. It seems that the activity inundates the restaurant with customers requiring "staffing up" to provide timely service. 10. The Northview Concession will benefit from two September dates of EAA travel softball play. Teams are at the site for extended periods of time which boosts food sales. 11. Interviews for a construction manager for the second ice sheet has been scheduled for September 17. Four firms will be interviewed. 12. The wading pool closed on September 1, Labor Day. Attendance at the pool was down the last few days (probably due to cool weather). 13. Staff has been coordinating the design effort of the Eagan Civic Arena addition with the site plan consultant (Gregg Ingreham). The council has provided direction on the development of a master site plan for the Remaining Property on the Municipal Center Campus. A workshop with the council and consultant is expected later this month in early October. 3 14. Staff has completed budget submission and is providing additional information at the request of council. This includes reports on increasing revenue for recreation programs by being entrepreneurial; reducing or eliminating recreation programs that may be too costly and a report on reducing or eliminating boulevard mowing. 15. Staff has completed the installation of the main playground structure at Deerwood Elementary School. A new swing set will be installed upon delivery. 16. As of Labor Day, the restrooms at most park buildings will be opened only for scheduled events. The restrooms at Trapp Farm, Thomas Lake, and Blackhawk Parks will continue to be opened at approximately 10:00 a.m. for public use. 17. New target rules and standards have been installed at three of the archery range stations at Walnut Hill Park. 18. The fall fertilization of parks and athletic fields will begin by the end of the month. 19. Staff is lining 29 soccer fields and 2 football fields for fall use. 20. Ban Engineering has completed a draft of the Phase I Environmental Review for Captain Dodd Park. Pending staff review of the document will be submitted to the pollution control agency. Upon their approval, soil and sediment treating will be completed as part of the process to obtain final state and county assurances. All tests completed to date have been favorable. 21. A contractor has been hired to colorcoat 5 tennis courts and 11 play courts. Work is expected to being the week of September 8. 22. Staff has obtained proposals from several contractors for the installation of a modular tile tennis surface at O'Leary Park. Subsurface water has caused a significant failure of the current surface and a modular system may be a less costly alternative than reconstruction. Staff will be analyzing the products for a possible fall installation. 23. Crews from the Dakota County Sentence to Service program are continuing the painting of outdoor hockey rinks. 24. A new one year contract with "Lifeworks" was recently approved. Lifeworks employs developmentally disabled adults. The city utilized them for custodial work at various park buildings. 25. The recent warm weather and rains have caused a flush of grass growth. Mowing crews have been working up to 12 hours per day in an effort to keep "control" of turf areas. The loss of most of the seasonal staff has recessitated creative scheduling of other maintenance activities. 26. Kevin Doehling was recently hired to fill the park maintenance vacancy created by the departure of Greg Schindles. Kevin had worked as a long term seasonal employee for several years. MEMO city of eagan TO: Advisory Parks Commission FROM: Ken Vraa - Director of Parks and Recreation Paul Olson - Superintendent of Parks and Recreation DATE: September 9, 1997 SUBJECT: Rahn Park Tennis Courts Issue To make a recommendation regarding the future of the tennis courts at Rahn Park. Background Rahn Park currently has a hard-court area consisting of four adjoining tennis courts and a double- court basketball area located south of the skating rink area. The northerly two courts were constructed in the early 1970's. The two southern courts and the basketball area were added in 1980. The courts are used for school play, lessons and recreational tennis. The four courts are the only lighted tennis courts in Eagan. The lights were installed in 1980 as part of the court expansion project. The system consists of two poles located at the midpoint of the tennis court area with multiple fixtures located on each. The lights are energized through an onsite switching system activated by a user and controlled through a time clock. The courts are currently in fair condition. Superficial cracks which do not completely penetrate the bituminous mat can be found radiating across all of the courts. Superficial cracks are a reality on nearly every large bituminous surface in areas subject to a regular freeze/thaw cycle. Because of the shallow depth and narrow width, these cracks tend not to affect play. Of greater concern are the large, deep, structural cracks that have formed on the two north courts. These cracks have penetrated through the bituminous mat and are continuing to expand. They have caused pieces of the bituminous to break away, greatly impacting the playing surface and accelerating the breakdown of the courts. All courts are showing sings of colorcoat degradation and surficial peeling. The maintenance history of the courts is similar to that of most others in the park system. According to Department records, colorcoating of the surface had taken place on a 6 - 7-year cycle - most recently in 1993. A notation in the maintenance records from 1987 makes reference to "patching" of the courts with no additional explanation. This treatment was most likely an attempt to repair the large cracks. 5 In an effort to identify a cause of the structural cracks and to develop alternatives for a possible repair, the City recently contracted with Braun Engineering for a sub-surface investigation. Three hand-augered samples were taken through the court in areas that exhibited a high degree of cracking. Two additional mechanically augered samples were taken to a depth of 15 feet from areas outside of the court considered to be representative of the site. A report summarizing the findings was presented to the City in August. In a somewhat surprising revelation, no aggregate base material was found to be present under the bituminous mat of the two north courts. The bituminous had been placed directly over the sub- surface soil, which consists primarily of a clay loam. Because no records specific to the construction of the two courts have been located, it cannot be determined if this was the intended method of construction or an omission by the contractor. The lack of an aggregate base material is thought to be the primary cause of the structural cracking. An adequate aggregate base material was found under the southern courts. Inadequate compaction of the soils over a large storm water pipe extending under the north courts from east to west was also seen as a possible cause of the structural deterioration. Discussion In the Braun report, complete reconstruction of the two north courts is recommended. Because of the lack of an adequate base material, the existing cracks would most likely deflect through a bituminous overlay. In summary, the Braun report recommends the following: • Removal of the bituminous materials form the entire north court area. • Removal of approximately 2' - 4' of the subsurface soil. • Backfill with compacted layers of a granular fill materials, sand being the material of choice. • Re-pave with multiple lifts. • Colorcoat the entire court area, including the north and south courts. Estimated cost: $35,000 - $40,000 The project would be tentatively scheduled for completion in early 1998. On Tuesday September 2, the issue was discussed with the Acquisition and Development Subcommittee as part of the C.I.P. review process. Given the cost of redeveloping the north courts, the subcommittee felt it may be appropriate to consider other alternatives before committing to a project at the Rahn site. Alternatives for Consideration (1) Reconstruct the north courts and colorcoat the south courts in accordance with the Braun plan. (Estimated Cost: $35,000 - $40,000) (2) Remove the north courts and re-configure the lighting system to accommodate the remaining two courts. (Estimated Cost: $10,000) (3) Remove the north courts and lights and install a new lighting system at an existing court site. Consideration to be given to those sites which would have minimal impact on neighboring residences. Potential sites: • Sky Hill Park • Northview Park • Partner with the School District (Blackhawk) (Estimated Cost: $35,000 - $40,000, depending upon the site.) (4) Remove the north courts and construct new courts at an alternate site. Possible locations: • Bridle Ridge Park • North Park • Lexington/Diffley Park (Estimated Cost: $35,000 - $40,000, depending upon the site.) Note: Under any of the alternatives, consideration may be given to retaining the north courts at Rahn in their present condition in lieu of removal and/or retaining or re-configuring the existing lighting system. For Commission Action To review the alternatives and prepare a recommendation regarding the inclusion of a tennis court project in the 1998 C.I.P. The C.I.P. will be reviewed in its entirety by the City Council pending its approval by the Commission. Ken Vraa - Director of Parks and Recreation Paul Olson - Superintendent of Parks and Recreation PO/pjm I:19PMIRahn Park Tennis Courts.252 city of eagan MEMO DATE: SEPTEMBER 9, 1997 TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION SUBJECT: 1998 CIP ISSUE As part of the preparation of the 1998 Budget document, the City Administrator has asked that we provide him for the City Council's approval, the recommended expenditures for 1998 from the Park Site Acquisition and Development Fund. ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT SUB-COMMITTEE The sub-committee met on September 3 with staff to refine the list of previously approved projects and recommended the following: 1. Walden Heights Park: $200,000 2. Four playground locations: Evergreen, Highview, River Hills, and Woodhaven.$ 100,000 3. Lexington-Diffley restroom buildings * $350,000 4. Rahn tennis court repair* $30,000 *Subject to additional review It is also likely that there may be some small projects completed from the "small projects set- aside" portion, time permitting. This list recognizes that there is a finite amount of time available to commit to construction projects, while recognizing the priority and importance associated with others. The Walden Heights Park development remains a high priority, and given that the land has been sold to a developer/builder, it's assumed that it's likely this area will be advancing towards development. Construction of a park, which coincides with that possibility, seems logical and should be budgeted for. As it relates to playgrounds, two of the four sites have wood structures and the other two are amongst the oldest. It's probable that the playgrounds would be put out for design and bid as two groups of two. One group to be done in the spring/summer the second in early fall. This would also help spread out the replacement of the twelve playgrounds over a period of years, distributing the work more evenly and making it more manageable. "1 The third item, Lexington-Diffley restroom remains to be determined. At the sub-committee meeting, it was determined that the group needed to refresh on the project design. Consequently, this item is to be part of the workshop session preceding the commission meeting. The fourth item also raised some question as to the best way to spend an allocation previously reserved for the possible reworking of Rahn courts. A separate report was provided in your packet pertaining to the options associated with this particular project. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS Alternative recommendations can be considered by the Commission. Staff would like to express that if there are to be additions, that there also be deletions from the projects identified above, because of the work load issue. As you are aware, it's likely that administrative staff will be involved in the construction of a second ice sheet, which of itself will be a major undertaking. Additions to the list should be matched with reductions. ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED The Commission should consider a motion, which would provide a recommendation to the City Council as to the projects that should be part of planned development in 1998. \D MEMO city of eagan DATE: SEPTEMBER 10, 1997 TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION FROM: KEN VRAA, DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR EASEMENT Issue Mr. and Mrs. David Craig are requesting an easement for the purpose of allowing a retaining wall and play equipment to remain on City parkland. This equipment was misplaced on City property. The Craig's alternative solution is to do a land swap. Background In the late spring, staff received a call from a resident in the Stonebridge addition stating that there appeared to be a number of residents who border the northeast end of Bridle Ridge Park were encroaching onto parkland. Staff had the property boundaries surveyed and did confirm that there were a number of homeowners who were in fact encroaching on parkland. In situations like this, letters are sent to the homeowners requesting that they take corrective action and refrain from encroaching in the future (copy of letter attached). In this particular situation, staff found that the Craig's had constructed a retaining wall and placed play equipment in the area, encroaching some 20 feet into park. The Craig's have offered an explanation as to how this occurred, stating that when they had purchased the lot, they had requested that the builder provide stakes identifying the lot corners. Apparently an error was made at that time which led to the retaining wall and play equipment being located on park. Regardless, staff has taken the position that the wall and play apparatus be removed. The play apparatus does place the City at risk by increasing our exposure to liability should a child be injured on this equipment. Should that occur, the City would most likely be named as a defendant in any legal action. The Craig's have retained the services of an attorney to try and remedy the situation. Staff met in late July with the Craig's and their attorney at their request to discuss the alternatives, at which time the position of the City was explained. The Craig's are proposing a solution to their problem (see attached letters dated August 5 and August 29) by requesting the City grant them an easement to allow the equipment to stay or have the City trade property with the developer from another location in exchange for this piece of land. Historical Information This is not the first time that parkland has been encroached upon. Most situations have been resolvable with the removal of the garden or woodpile or whatever it was that was occurring. Long time Commission members may remember a similar situation that occurred several years ago at the north trail entrance into Blackhawk Park. A survey error was made and a wood retaining wall was constructed immediately adjacent to the then proposed trail. The end portion of the wall extended onto parkland. The new residents also had playground equipment placed on parkland. Again the builders error was called into question. The builder sought relief from the City by seeking to acquire by purchasing the land in question. Because the parkland was a dedication, it was the legal opinion of the City Attorney that each of the residents in the subdivision would have to approve of the sale as only the first step in such a transaction. This was seen as impossible by the builder and the situation corrected by the builder with a new retaining wall and removal of the play equipment. City Attorney Sheldon was asked to respond to this current issue of a land swap. His opinion is attached for your review. In brief, a land exchange is not different then a land sale. Since the park is dedicated by the developer and residents have relied on this as park, it would require all of the residents in the subdivision to wave any interest in the property, then the property would go back to the developer, not the builder. Easement or License to use/Discussion Issues Again, this is not the first time an easement or license to use has been requested for parkland. (A license to use may reduce the City's risk exposure better than an easement). As stewards of the land, the question must be asked, "What benefit accrues to the community by the granting of this easement?" Does this, or any other easement, benefiting both parties fairly and equitably? Does a decision here to allow for an easement/license set a precedent for others? And if so, how important is it? Could we expect others to request easements for wood storage or compost piles or gardens simply because they border a park? Are the circumstances of this situation of special nature requiring an unusual solution? Why does the City have the responsibility of resolving this error? Why not the builder? Perspectives The parkland within the City was obtained for the benefit of the community and the residents as a whole. Residents bordering this or any park do not have any special claim or rights beyond any other resident in the community simply because of their proximity to the park. In administering and managing the land, staff and the City have tried to be good neighbors and given consideration in applying maintenance practices that are appropriate for the land and the parks use. Polices for use reflects a similar approach. For these reasons, it has been a practice that where bordering residents have appropriated city land for their use, either by accident or design, we have tried to fairly implement the practice of seeking the removal of and discontinuation of the property's use by the resident. To do other wise would seem to circumvent the principal that the public park is there for everyone's benefit. For Commission Action Motions to consider in regards to this issue include: 1) Motion to approve an easement/license for a period of months. 2) Motion to deny the request and seek removal of the equipment within days. 3) Motion to refer to a special committee for additional study. is city of acigan THOMAS EGAN June 20, 1997 Mcyor PATRICIA AWADA BEA BLOMQUIST SANDRA A. MASIN THEODORE WACHTER Mr. & Mrs. David Craig Council Members 3801 Chatham Road THOMAS HEDGES Eagan, MN 55123 City Administrator Dear Mr. & Mrs. Craig: E. J. VAN OVERBEKE City Clerk Wandering Walk Park is an undeveloped parcel of park property extending from Wescott Avenue on the north to Bridle Ridge Park on the south. The City has not yet finalized an improvement plan for the Park though the original intent of the acquisition was the creation of a linkage from area neighborhoods to Bridle Ridge and Northview Parks to the south. The Park is bounded by residential properties along the east and west borders. Your property abuts the northeast comer of the Park parcel. As part of the City's ongoing effort to redefine park property lines, staff from the City of Eagan Engineering Department recently located the "comer irons" along the east and west boundaries of Wandering Walk Park. The comer irons were installed during the original survey of the development plat to identify property comers and serve as reference points. They most often are a pipe or other metal monument sunken in the ground to surface level. Based upon the location of the corner irons, and referencing the development plat, it has been determined that you have encroached onto park property. The specific elements found to be either partially or completely within the Park include: • Wood framed garden planter • Stone block retaining wall and planter • Play structure The City is very concerned with the presence of these elements within the Park. Case law has determined that the Governmental Unit may be held either partially or fully responsible for damage or injury caused by an element within a park or public space of which it had prior knowledge regardless of its origin. The unauthorized use of City property for private purpose may also be construed as trespass. Given the circumstances we are requesting that the wall, playstructure and gardens be removed from park property. Because the play structure and wall create the greatest potential risk for the City, they are to be removed within 30 days of the date of this letter. Garden materials may be removed upon completion of the current growing season. All areas must be restored to the original condition and a reasonable grade established. Any variety of perennial turf grass seed may be used. The City does not have a policy allowing for the issuance of easements to residents for the use of park property nor would it be willing to accept a "donation" of the elements being they do not meet current standards for public use. The City of Eagan is committed to protecting the resources of the City for all residents to enjoy safely and equitably. Should you have any questions or require redefinition of the comer irons please contact me at 681-4300. We look forward to your cooperation. Thank you.

You were very informative. As we described to you, the Craigs purchased their property and home from Rottlund Homes. Rottlund Homes staked the property, indicating that the Craigs would own a certain amount of property in the backyard abutting the City of Eagan's park property. The City of Eagan's staking of the property indicates that the Craigs' backyard is actually twenty feet shorter. The Craigs have a garden, retaining wall and children's playstructure on the property that they believed they owned, but which in fact the City of Eagan owns. The City of Eagan has requested the Craigs to remove their improvements and return the property to its original condition. The news that they did not own property which the Craigs believed to be theirs was a shock. The City of Eagan's demand that they remove cherished improvements to the property was an added blow. The Craigs are requesting the City of Eagan to grant them an easement of limited duration (three to five years) to maintain the retaining wall and children's playstructure on the area belonging to the City of Eagan. The Craigs will move their garden next spring. The Craigs will agree to enter into an indemnification agreement with the City of Eagan. We have written to Rottlund Homes requesting their involvement in seeking a resolution of this matter. While the Craigs wish to resolve this matter as quickly as possible, we believe that it may take a couple of weeks to get a response from Rottlund Homes. Therefore, we ask \ T T 0 R \ E l S T L A\ 1 \ L.; Mr. Ken Vraa August 5, 1997 Page 2 you to put the Craigs' request for an easement of limited duration on for hearing at the September 15, 1997 meeting of the Parks and Recreation Committee. The Craigs further request permission to maintain their garden, retaining wall and children's playstructure pending the outcome of the Committee's decision to grant or deny the Craigs' request for an easement of limited duration. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please contact me at 229-2918 with any comments or questions. Very truly yours, Ruth S.

The Craigs built these improvements on property that they mistakenly believed that they owned, but which in fact belongs to the City of Eagan. The Craigs purchased their property and home from Rottlund Homes. Rottlund Homes staked the property, indicating that the Craigs would own a certain amount of property in the backyard next to the City of Eagan's park property. The City of Eagan restaked the property and found that the Craigs' backyard is actually twenty feet shorter than was represented to them. The Craigs placed a garden, retaining wall and children's playstructure on the property that they believed they owned, but which in fact the City of Eagan owns. The City of Eagan has requested the Craigs to remove their improvements and return the property to its original condition. The Craigs are requesting the City of Eagan to grant them an easement of limited duration (three to five years) to maintain the retaining wall and children's playstructure on the area belonging to the City of Eagan. The Craigs will move their garden next spring. The Craigs will agree to enter into an indemnification agreement with the City of Eagan. We have written to Rottlund Homes requesting their involvement in seeking a resolution of this matter. We have also attempted to reach Rottlund Homes by telephone. To date we have not heard Rottlund Homes' position regarding the facts or a resolution of this matter, but we hope to hear from them in the near future. We are providing Rottlund Homes with a copy of this / A T T ( ) R\ F > A T I A ,I Mr. Ken Vraa August 29, 1997 Page 2 letter with the hope that they will participate in the September 15, 1997 meeting. The Craigs' strong preference is to own the disputed property, rather than to merely obtain a limited easement. It was indicated to us that the only possible way such a transfer of the property could occur is if Rottlund Homes were to agree to donate other property for park purposes. Again, we do not know Rottlund Homes' position on these issues.

As we understand the facts, the Craigs constructed a garden, retaining wall and children's play structure on a City park. The property was designated Bridle Ridge Park and dedicated with the plat of that property to the City of Eagan. The Craigs are asking the City to transfer a portion of this park property to them, rather than move their garden, retaining wall and children's play structure. You asked whether the City can sell, transfer or swap the park property, and if so, what is the process. We answer in the negative. The City is not authorized to sell, transfer, or swap park property which has been dedicated by plat. I previously supplied you with a copy of the case of Application of AVANT-GARDE. INC., 41 N.W.2d 379 (Minn. App. 1992), which confirmed a long-standing Minnesota decision reiterating the "legal effect of a plat dedication is the conveyance in trust to the municipality of a terminable easement only, in any area designated in the plat for the public use, and the fee title thereto remains in the dedicator, subject to the easement" Application of AVA,' GAS at 382. As a result, the City does not "own" the park. It has no fee title interest in the park The City's only interest is to hold the property in trust for public use as a park. At such time as the property would no longer be used for park purposes (a decision by the City Council or the District Court after notice to all of the property owners of the plat) title to the property would remain in the dedicator and perhaps its grantees. That being the case, there is nothing for the City to "sell, transfer or swap" since the City's interest is that of an easement for public use as a park. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.

MEMO city of eagan DATE: September 9, 1997 TO: Ken Vraa, Director of Parks and Recreation FROM: Jon Oyanagi, Recreation Supervisor SUBJECT: Summer Program Report The summer of 1997 was full of a variety of activity. The following is a summary of the programs under my supervision. ADULT SOFTBALL In 1997, 249 teams registered for 33 different adult slo-pitch softball leagues in Eagan. Leagues met Sunday through Friday evenings. 1268 men's games were played as well as 210 women's games and 374 co-rec games. The grand total comes to 1852 games. Revenue from the three groups is estimated below: Men's Softball - $70,000.00 Women's Softball - $11,800.00 Co-Rec Softball - $22.700.00 Total - $104,500.00 Major expenditures are estimated as: Umpires - $34,400.00 Softballs - $11,000.00 Awards Plaques $ 2,100.00 Gift Certificates $ 2,000.00 Shirts $ 3,100.00 Sanction Fees $ 4,350.00 Tourney Entry Fees $ 2,400.00 Field Improvements $ 1,500.00 Program Assistant $ 4,000.00 Administration $17,165.00 Maintenance $18.675.00 $100,690.00 Numbers can only reflect so much. Here are comments received back from managers of teams: "We enjoyed the season." "We need lights, restrooms, water and phone at Lexington-Diffley." "Parking at Lexington-Diffley was tough with soccer." "We really enjoyed the softball newsletter." "The start of the season was too cold for us old men." Overall, it was a very smooth running season. Tuesday evening seemed to be hit hardest with rain-outs. The cold and windy days during the first two weeks of the season were the coldest I can remember in my nine seasons here. Good sporting behavior was at the best level in many years. Plenty of umpires were available to cover the games. We only had one missed game. The Daytime Co-Rec league folded this year. The Men's Corporate C league shrunk so that I had to combine them with the Upper D teams. The new, more restricted flight softball was not well received. Teams generally want more zip to their hits in spite of the greater risk for injury. Once again, everyone that wished to was able to play in their respective post-season tournament. 48 teams went on to represent Eagan against teams from the region and from all over the state. HOLZ FARM $7,000.00 was donated to the Friends of the Farm by the Knights of Columbus #7604. They earmarked the money to go towards restoration of the front porch, an accessible ramp to the house, and barn restoration work. The Friend completed the porch in May. They are awaiting plans for the accessible ramp and for the fire exit/ accessible ramp to the upper barn. Materials have been delivered to reinforce the upper barn floor and roof support beams. A 1947 Farmall H, similar to the first tractor purchased by the Holz's, was purchased by the Friends and donated to the City. The City mechanics performed some minor and major repairs to improve the performance and enhance the longevity of the tractor. The upper barn entrance ramp and entryway were reconstructed to match the previous surfaces. Also, the barnyard received approximately 15 loads of fill in order to raise the yard to meet the lower barn doors. Much material had eroded away from the barnyard. The tractor and a borrowed hay rack were decorated and entered into the Fourth of July Parade. The Friends group won $40.00! The parade's theme was "Star Wars". Go figure. Don Holz donated the original hay rack back to the farm. The frame and wheels were scraped and sanded free of rust. The wooden bed has been rebuilt from new lumber and painted barn red. The Spring Festival was an afternoon full of activities and rain. Attendance was down from 1996 due to the weather. The Hog Roast was a gorgeous day and a big financial success netting $1000.00. The Minnesota Farmer's Union used Holz Farm as a site for two, one-day day camp. They supplied the staff and program for 120 children in June and 100 campers in August. The low cost of two dollars was hard to believe for most Eagan parents. The Eagan Convention and Visitors Bureau is hard at work arranging the details for Lone Oak Days, September 19 and 20. The Friends group is also active preparing the site and arranging for demonstrations, tours, food and entertainment. The Friends of the Farm continue to meet monthly as a board to work on current activities and plan for the development of the non-profit group. Many more volunteers are needed in order to help the mission take wing. NATURE PROGRAMS The Naturally Fridays program offered a variety of topics each week with stories, crafts and experiments to match. Among the titles were Dino Dig II, Mud Pie, Bug-O-Rama, Bird Brain and Green Thumbs. An average of eight children attended allowing for more individual attention. The Nature Around the World Day Camps received mixed reviews. 5 of 7 were held with an average of 8 participants. The three day camp ran from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The test was to see if the hours would be more working parent-friendly. In the end, most participants felt the day was too long. One parent wanted a longer day to allow for drive time. The cost was $55.00 to 60.00 for the 25.5 hours. This seemed to deter people as well. The difficulty is to charge enough to cover costs, attract registrants and not have to cancel because you didn't reach a minimum number set too high. CRAFT PROGRAMS Crafty Crafters was held five Fridays for two hours for children to work on craft ideas that might actually sell. The emphasis was placed on inexpensive, simple crafts that youth can produce. 14 youth participated. The Kids Craft Fair was held August 1 at Trapp Farm Park. 26 booths displayed hand made creations from kids of all ages. A steady crowd purchased items from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. This was the second year for the fair. The library system also offers a similar fair for young crafters. So far there does not seem to be any over-saturation. Staff was trying to locate a high pedestrian traffic area such as a shopping center, but three that were contacted were worried about liability. PROGRAMS FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES The Fitness Fun program met Tuesdays at Trapp Farm Park for the second year. Eight youth with disabilities attended. They enjoyed volleyball, bowling, lawn darts, and a host of other games. The staff from Burnsville and Eagan facilitated the program open to kids from the South of the River cities. A picnic for adults with disabilities was held August 2 in Lakeville and was co-sponsored by the South of the River Recreators and River Valley Project Explore. Around 120 individuals enjoyed food, sand, games and entertainment. Lexington-Diffley Athletic Fields were host to a softball league for adults with disabilities every Monday night. Three teams participated with team members from all over Dakota County. IN LINE SKATING Once again, the lessons were popular for in-line skating. John Glynn has developed a reputation as a popular teacher. 15 adults took beginning lessons. 11 youth took their version of beginning lessons. The Smart Street Skating lessons had 6 participants. All lessons were held at Blackhawk Park. WALK AND BIKE CLUB The membership continues to grow at a slow rate. Currently, Eagan has 45 members. Most are interested only in the incentive program. The summer event was a bike ride around and through Dakota County. Zero people attended. This fall the South of the River Recreators will look at slowly phasing out the club leaving only the incentive program alive until the awards are gone. STAR GAZING The skies were cloudy for both attempts to view the summer constellations. Therefore, this one did not happen. We will try again this fall That is my report summarizing the activities and events from the summer of 1997. city of eagan MEMO DATE: SEPTEMBER 11, 1997 TO: ADVISORY PARKS COMMISSION FROM: LOUDI RIVAMONTE, YOUTH DEVELOPMENT COORDINATOR SUBJECT: SUMMER PROGRAM REPORT We had a great summer at the Wescott Center with a total of eight programs taking place. Pre-K and Kindergartners: Our 4-6 year olds had an active summer involved in creative play, arts and crafts, games and outdoor fun. Junior Summer Fun: We had 75 kids enroll in our junior program. With an addition of 2 staff funded by the Police Department's Crime Prevention Grant, we added a special component on to our regular activities. This component consisted of smaller specialized field trips. One to two times per week, 6 children were able to attend field trip with one staff person using the city van. With smaller groups, the children were able to visit such places as Minnehaha Falls, where they learned about soil erosion, water currents and wildlife around the creek. These trips were a great success and we hope to continue them next summer. Teen Summer Fun: This program provided teens with their own time in the downstairs recreation room. Teen Rec. Leader and Mentorship Program: A huge success! We had 12 teens learn how to be mentors. They then worked with younger youth in various programs held at the center. In return they earned field trip dollars so they could attend the city's teen field trip. By the first 6 weeks the teens had already put in 120 hours. Most of the teens put in over and above the mandatory 4 hours a week because they enjoyed the program so much. Youth Outdoor Basketball League: 75 youth played in our outdoor league this year. This year, the size of the girls and younger boy's league was bigger than the previous year. The only thing that dampened our spirits was the amount of rainfall. Many games had to be rescheduled due to our wet summer. African American Leadership Camp: This year we had 6 teens and 2 volunteer staff attend the program. Both teens and staff raved about their learning experiences. All teens will be giving back to the Wescott Community in the form of mentorship and/or volunteer hours. Summer Nutrition Camp: The U of M Dakota Co. Extension Nutrition Services put on a great Nutrition camp for the Wescott youth. They learned about the food pyramid, "glo germs" and cooked up special meals. Yum Yum! Summer Tutoring Program: 25 youth attended our summer tutoring program funded through the Library Services Grant and Dakota Hills Middle School. FALL HIGHLIGHT: Dakota Co. Partnership for Healthier Communities Grant: CAC and myself received a grant in the amount of $1,000 to use in the creation of alcohol, drugs and tobacco abuse educational programming. We will put on a three series event entitled "The Right to a Healthier Life Fall Series." The City of Eagan Presents .
