TO: Parks & Recreation Committee Members
Carrolls Woods Committee Members
Parks & Recreation Staff
FROM: David J told - Director of Parks & Recreation
DATE: November 24, 1993
RE: Upcoming Meetings and Projects
A short invitation was submitted to the newspapers inviting
community volunteers to join in the "buckthorn dragging and
chipping" set for December 4th in Carrolls Woods. This memo serves
as an invitation for each of the committee members to join us that
day. Various staff members and Rick Cook will be operating the
equipment and to assisting.
On December 2nd there is a workshop meeting set for 7:30 P. M. in
City Hall. There has also been a final public hearing on the 1994
budget set to start that evening at 8:00 P. M.. We had planned to
talk about bike trails and how we present that to developers for
inclusion into their projects. We also decided to discuss our
Procedure for determining changes in the master plan that relate
to the types of park dedication we take.
The dedication item pertains to how we become involved in changes
made in the land use plan as it was presented when we made
decisions on the master plan. There could be a change due to the
density factor within the development, a change from residential
to that of commercial or industrial, etc..
Although I am required to attend the public hearing at 8:00 on the
budget it important that we do meet at 7:30 for our committee
workshop. At that time the decision can be made to adjourn at 8:00
for the budget meeting or to continue with the workshop.
NOTE: I do apologize for not getting the Carrolls Woods minutes
out for the October meeting. Loretta did get them to me in time to
be mailed out. Because of the over sight those minutes are not
included in with the November Carrolls Woods meeting and the
November Parks & Recreation Committee meeting.

ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA: None
APPROVAL OF THE OCTOBER 18, 1993 MINUTES: MOTION by Deanna Simpson to
approve the minutes of October 18, 1993. SECOND by Jerry Puciaty.
Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 MOTION CARRIED.
AUDIENCE INPUT: None
OLD BUSINESS
I. RAAA UPDATE: Director Dave Bechtold informed the Committee members
that Tom Nuemann was not able to attend this meeting. He submitted to
the Committee a copy of the information from the RAAA Board that
detailed the percent of participants from each of the area cities and
the percent of fields that each city provides per sport.
II. PARK EVALUATIONS= Rick Cook and Mark Joosten gave a short summary
of the work relating Jaycee Park. This included the baseball field
construction and the tree planting that was a part of a park grant.
Rick informed the Committee that they had put two of the main posted in
the ground for the larger picnic tables. Construction of the picnic
tables can now take place when the crew has time to build them.
Following a discussion of the two remaining tables a decision was made
as to where to construct third and fourth structures. MOTION by Deanna
Simpson to construct one table in Biscayne Park and the other in Kidder
Park. SECOND by John Howard, Ayes 5 Nayes 0. MOTION CARRIED.
III. ARMORY UPDATE: Dave Giliuson and others summarized information
from the November workshop. Jim Topitzhofer, the Director of the
Community Center, was at that meeting to give a detailed report of the
planned Center operations. Dave Bechtold has notes that he will write
up for the Committee members.
IV. UPDATE ON DEVELOPMENTS: No specific developments were discussed.
Deanna Simpson voiced her feelings relating to areas of the city that.
are rezoned or some other change is made in the planned type of
development that was to take place there. When the Parks Master Plan
was generated there was a certain type of land use that we based out
decisions on. If there is now to be a change then we should consider
how that changes the park demands from cash to land or what
combinations of land and cash we should be asking for to develop parks.
Even if taking land doesn't allow for enough cash to develop the park
right away it might be best to get the ].and so that. latter on we can
develop the type of park that is adequate to meet the needs of that
area.
Other members voiced their agreement with this opinion.
There may be a need to have the developer include more private park
land in the development also if the density goes up. That way we could
meet the demand just as we planned to do in the Limerick Town Home
development. That concept should be addressed when there 7.s multiple
dwelling planned.
MOTION by Dave Giliuson to discuss the park dedication land v/s cash
issue at the December 2, 1993 workshop. SECOND by Jerry Puciaty.
Ayes S. Nayes 0 MOTION CARRIED.
V. ERICKSON COMMUNITY SQUARE: Deanna Simpson and John Howard gave a
brief summary from their- last meeting of November 10, 1993. Bud
Osmundson, the City Engineer, had come to that meeting to give an
update on the locations for utilities, discuss drainage concerns, etc..
Bud recommended the use of drain tile from the Corcoran property to a
storm drain along the drive way to City Hall to control the run off
from that area. He recommended also that when the SAC, WAC, and MWCC
charges came due when the shelter is constructed that the Utility
Department should waive those fees for this city project.
The snow fence is up between the Dakota Building and the flower garden.
They thanked Dave, Rick, and the crew fro fast action in taking care of
that project.
The grading for the amphitheater was put off until next year. Dave has
sent a letter- to the Adjutant General's office to inquire about the
National Guard becoming involved. Rick and Dave will be contacting the
49'ers also to :gee if they would be willing to help with the grading,
etc..
The project had gone out for bids. Since the lowest bid was very high
it was decided to not do the project now. According to Bud there may be
a few places to get free fill next year. That could save up to $ 14,000
on the project costs.
Chuck Novak and Scott Gundhus are working on the site landscaping and
the architecture of the building. Both have waived their fees to work
with this project. The December meeting was cancelled to allow for them
to have more time to prepare drawings, etc. for the committee.
VI. CARROLLS WOODS COMMITTEE UPDATE: Mike Buscho, chairman of the
committee, gave an update. Rick Cook and the crew have identified a
general location for the trail leading from the southwest access point.
Dave Bechtold has contacted the school and received permission from
Joel Sutter to plant trees and install a walking gate and maintenance
gate at the trail access point located behind the high school.
There will be a volunteer" buckthorn removal date on December 4th from
9:00 A. M. until 1:00 P. M.. Letters will be sentto all of the people
on the mailing lists for our committees. That tray a more clear location
of the trail may be identified when some of the buckthorn is removed.
Because of the grades of the area the trail may have to be moved
several feet off of planned locations.
Dave was asked to request Bud Osmundson to check for the grades that
were to be completed by the developer and check if that has been done.
There are homes being built along the outlot and a statement should be
obtained from engineering as to the status of the grading.
NEW BUSINESS
I. BYLAWS: The Committee agreed that bylaws are acceptable as written
except for the area of selection process of a Director if that position
should ever open up. Jerry Puciaty led this discussion with a deep
concern that itwas felt to be very importantthat the bylaws would
state that a member of the Parks & Recreation Committee would be on the
selection committee and would interview the candidates.
All Committee members agreed that this was important to them and that
it should be discussed at the workshop meeting if there was time. This
item was tabled for action until the December 20th meeting.
Dave Bechtold is to check if there is a place in any city policy that
identifies any specific procedure that must be followed that pertains
to the selection and hiring of a Director. If there is no policy then
the Committee feels that the Parks and Recreation bylaws should address
this and include them in the process.
II. PARK DEDICATION REVIEW: Discussions dealt first with the
residential dedication. Dedication information was presented for
members to use for comparisons. It was felt to be important to increase
the land value which would result in a slight increase this year.
MOTION by Jerry Puciaty to recommend to the City Council to increase
the land value in the park dedication flees from $ 13,000 per acre to
that of $ 14,000 per acre. SECOND by John Howard. Ayes 5. Nayes 0
MOTION CARRIED.
Industrial and commercial dedication fees were, discussed. It was felt,
that the formula is adequate as written. MOTION by Dave Giliuson to
recommend to the City Council to keep the :Land value in the commercial
and industrial park dedication at $ 22,000 per acre. SECOND by Deanna.
Simpson. Ayes S. Nayes 0. MOTION CARRIED.
Dave Bechtold brought the concept of trail dedication to the
Committee. Other cities do have a trail fee along with park dedication.
Rosemount requires that the developer include the cost of trails with
the development and must pay for all trail costs besides the park
dedication. Lisa Freese, the past City Planner, had requested us to
look into writing a policy for trails that could be used when the
Planning Department meets with developers. This item will be discussed
at the December 2nd workshop.
III. CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT:
Jerry Puciaty --- none
John Howard -- none
Deanna Simpson: Thanked Dave, Rick and their staff for the great
cooperation on the project at the corner- of 145th street and Chili
Ave.. She also included Bud Osmundson and his staff in that thank you.
She felt that this is another example of volunteers and city staff
working hand in hand to complete another project that the citizens will
be proud of. Deanna said that, she has received a great deal of
Positive comments on this project..
Deanna has sent a letter regarding this to the Administrator, Mayor and
City Council. She is planning to have this thank you put into the
newspaper.
Dave Bechtold commented again that we should always remember that the
support and help from the Parks & Recreation Committee is a very
important part of making these joint projects of volunteers and staff
work.
Jerry Puciaty commented that we should make sure we don't take the
good park maintenance for granted. Staff is really doing a good job.
Tom Reller and Jerry commented that the Parks & Recreation staff have
always worked well with volunteers. Deanna said it was important for
people to know just how much work volunteers can accomplish,
especially by working together with staff.
Dave commented that when people visit our city they recognize the clean
streets etc.. They really notice it when they come to a corner and we
have projects like the Chili site. The County is planning a kiosk at
the water town on Chippendale and County Road # 42. This will also
bring attention to the beautification of the city.
John Howard thanked Deanna for her personal efforts in this project.
Tom Reller -- none
Dave Giliuson -none
IV. DIRECTOR'S REPORT: Some time ago Deanna Simpson reminded us of how
important it was for each of us to set personal goals as to why we
serve on the Parks & Recreation Committee. It is important for us to
look at those goals. Some of the memberships are coming to an end and
Dave requested each member to consider serving again. Dave expressed
his feelings about the comfort level that he and his staff have with
working with each of the Committee members. It is a positive
relationship. There is interaction, feedback, and a concern for
working together.
Our next meeting will be the regular December meeting. A guest of the
Committee Members is invited to join us and the department staff will
also be invited to join us.
RAP is meeting on Thursday at 6:30 at the Rosemount Middle School Dave
will not be able to attend most of that meeting due to a special budget
meeting setfor that same time in city hall. This group is addressing
their concerns as they relate to parks and recreational issues, but is
moving forward to addressing their concerns as coming from many areas.
As a part of this groups efforts a staff member of the County Extension
Office is working to put together a matrix of services that can be
provided from public and private sector and combing that list with a
list. of the needs that are being identified by the citizens.
John Howard questioned who owns the land next to the water tower on
Chippendale and County Road # 42. It has been open for a long time. If
the land belongs to the city maybe we could do something to improve it.
Dave will check with other city staff to find out the ownership.
V. ADJOURNMENT: MOTION by Jahn Howard to adjourn. SECOND by Dave
Giliuson. Ayes S. Nayes 0. MOTION CARRIED.
CARROLLS WOODS
COMMITTEE MEETING
NOVEMBER 15, 1993
Members present: Mike Busho, Loretta Loesch
Staff: Dave Bechtold, Rick Cook, Mark Joosten
Buckthorn is being out above and below the new trail line just to the
west of the Halloween trail loop. Once the buckthorn is out it will
be easier to identify the exact placement of the trail. Herbicide is
being used as the buckthorn is cut.
The southwest access has been marked by the developer with a 22-24 ft
easement going up to the woods. There is already one house built
along the easement. Rick Cook and city,crew have marked the south-
west corner trail from the access point to the existing trail.
Dave Bechtold will check with Bud Osmundson to check the final grading
of the out lot on the southwest access.
The next buckthorn cut has been scheduled for Saturday, December 4,
from 9:00 am to 1:00 p.m., with the volunteers meeting at the
hockey rink. Rick and crew will concentrate on cutting the buckthorn
in the southwest corner. When this area has been cleared, the
committee will walk through and approve/make changes to the trail
that has been marked. Mark Joosten expressed concern that a part of
the trail may be too steep. Committee approval will enable the city
crew to proceed with excavating.
Staff will insert an article in the paper and make use of the Park and
Rec mailing lists in asking for volunteers. The Park and Rec hotline
will also be used to verify time and date, or cancellation. (In case
of inclement weather alternate date will be the following Saturday,
December 11.)
Dave Bechtold contacted the school in regards to reforestation of the
hockey rink entrance, adding a swinging maintenance gate, and/or
a walking gate. Joel Sutter thought it was a good idea and a memo was
faxed verifying this agreement with him.
It was clarified for Dave Bechtold that all of the Halloween trail
will be limerocked.
The next meeting will be December 20th, at 6:30 p.m.. It will be a
short meeting due to the Park and Rec Christmas get-together.
We will address membership attendance and size of the committee.
Meeting adjourned.

Stephan Jilk
This past fall Rick Cook, the Supervisor of Parks Maintenance,
worked with Ken Buecksler, your staff member in charge of grounds
maintenance, to clean up the area behind the Rosemount High
School. Their main task was the removal of the old hockey rink
and to level off the turf.
The City of Rosemount paid for the removal of materials from the
site and Ken helped to load the materials onto the trucks for that
removal. It was a continuation of the close working relationship
that you and other members of our school district have with the
Rosemount Parks & Recreation Department.
The Parks & Recreation Department would like to continue to
develop the Carrolls Woods Park. This does include the trail
system, the removal of buckthorn, the reforestation of the woods.
and the accesses to the woods.
With the development of trails and clearing of buckthorn we feel
that some additional control of the access area of the trails
needs to be put into place. As I mentioned on the phone today we
would like to plant trees, install a walk gate and install a
maintenance gate behind the Rosemount High School in the area that
serves as a trail access to the park.
I was pleased to hear your support for this landscaping. It will
add to the development of the park area and the school property
adjoining the park. My staff will. contact Ken again to join forces
in laying out the project and completing it.
The Parks Department will pay for this enhancement project.
SPECIAL NOTE: Our department does plan to give special
recognition to Tim Convoy and his students for their assistance to
the buckthorn clearing in the Carrolls Woods Park.

ERICKSON COMMUNITY SQUARE MEETING
OCTOBER 12, 1993
MEMBERS PRESENT: Del Lorentzen, Deanna Simpson, John Loch, Jim Koslowski, Lucy Holzer
GUESTS: Dave Bechtold, Charles Novak
We met at Charles Novak's office and talked to him about plans for the shelter and site plans. Chuck
is going to draw up a set of floor and elevation plans and a material list. We are going to look into
volunteer help for materials and labor. Next, Chuck will draw a site plan that will show the shelter,
flower garden and landscaping around the shelter. We are to talk to Kerry Johnson and get his plans
so Chuck can draw the landscaping in for that also.
Dave handed out the specifications for the grading of the amphitheater and shelter. Interested bidders
received specs and they are due in by 10:00 a.m. October 29, 1993. Dave Bechtold, Brian Bourassa,
and Jim Koslowski will open them at that time. If we like what we see we will need to call a special
meeting to accept it. Then Dave will put it on the agenda for the council meeting on November 2,
1993.
Dave showed us pictures of the site plan. He is working on a story for the paper.
Deanna has talked to Scott Gunhus about a landscape plan for the shelter. He is busy for the next
month and a half, but will help us after that time. Chuck and Scott will work on the plan together.
John Loch made a motion to have Bud Osmundson come to our next meeting. We would like to talk
to him about the water run off from Corcorans property. We are also interested to know where the

give an update on their Projects. Questions that you may have on
their proposals will addressed at this time.
Bids for the grading and construction of the amphitheater area
came in over $ 39,000. Our estimates were to have the project
completed for $ 36,000 or less.
It was decided to wait until spring to rebid this project. There
is possibly additional fill available at that time for free that
could cut the costs of construction considerably. We are also
contacting the National Guard and the 49'ers to see if there can
be some assistance given with projects.

Your comments will be requested at this meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Move to approve dedication fees as
reviewed and updated by the Committee.
COUNCIL ACTION:
II. PARK DEDICATION REVIEW: Discussions dealt first with the
residential dedication. Dedication information was presented for
members to use for comparisons. It was felt to be important to increase
the land value which would result in a slight increase this year.
MOTION by Jerry Puciaty to recommend to the City Council to increase
the land value in the park dedication fees from $ 13,000 per acre to
that of $ 14,000 per acre. SECOND by John Howard. Ayes S. Nayes 0
MOTION CARRIED.
Industrial and commercial dedication fees were discussed. It was felt
that the formula is adequate as written. MOTION by Dave Giliuson to
recommend to the City Council to keep the land value in the commercial
and industrial park dedication at $ 22,000 per acre. SECOND by Deanna
Simpson. Ayes S. Nayes 0. MOTION CARRIED.
Dave Bechtold brought the concept of trail dedication to the
Committee. Other cities do have a trail fee along with park dedication.
Rosemount requires that the developer include the cost of trails with
the development and must pay for all trail costs besides the park
dedication. Lisa Freese, the past City Planner, had requested us to
look into writing a policy for trails that could be used when the
Planning Department meets with developers. This item will be discussed
at the December 2nd workshop.
III. CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT:
Jerry Puciaty - none
John Howard - none
Deanna Simpson: Thanked Dave, Rick and their staff for the great
cooperation on the project at the corner of 14Sth street and Chili
Ave.. She also included Bud Osmundson and his staff in that thank you.
She felt that this is another example of volunteers and city staff
working hand in hand to complete another project that the citizens will
be proud of. Deanna said that she has received a great deal of
positive comments on this project.
Deanna has sent a letter regarding this to the Administrator, Mayor and
City Council. She is planning to have this thank you put into the
newspaper. '
Dave Bechtold commented again thac.we.should always remember that the
support and help from the Parks & Recreation Committee is a very
important part of making these joint projects of volunteers and staff
work.
Jerry Puciaty commented that we should make sure we don't take the
good park maintenance for granted. Staff is really doing a good job.
Tom Reller and Jerry commented that the Parks & Recreation staff have
always worked well with volunteers. Deanna said it was important for
people to know just how much work volunteers can accomplish,
especially by working together with staff.
CITY OF ROSE�Iou"r
EX£CIITIV£ SIIMMARY FOR ACTION
CITY COUNCIL Y=TING-DATE:
Along with the bylaws the Parks & Recreation Committee has also decided
to review the Park Dedication formula at the November meeting.
At the present time the formula in our city ordinances reads:
4% times the land value times the density
( .04 X $ 12,000 X the # of units )
EXAMPLE: We will use a forty acre parcel of land that is valued at
$ 12,000 per acre and build eighty homes on that land.
The result is: .04 X $ 12,000 X 80 = $38,400
We would accept land in the amount of 3.2 acres (OR)
We would accept cash of $ 38,400 (OR)
We would accept a combination of the cash and land
With an increase in the land value in the formula to $ 13,000 would read:
4% times the land value times the density
( .04 X $ 13,000 X the # of units )
EXAMPLE: We use the same forty acre parcel of land and plan for eighty
units, but set a land value of $ 13,000 per acre.
The result is: .04 X $ 13,000 X 80 = $ 41,600
We would accept land in the amount of 3.2 acres (OR)
We would accept cash of $ 41,600 (OR)
We would accept a combination of cash and land
RECO2dKMIDED ACTION:
Recommend to the City Council that the land value in the
Park Dedication formula be increased from $ 12,000 per acre to that o
$ 13.,000 per acre to start on January 1, 1993.

ERICKSON COMMUNITY SQUARE
MEETING OF NOVEMBER 10, 1993
BIG DADDY'S IN RO-SEMOUNT
7:00 P.M.
PRESENT: John Loch, Deanna Simpson, Jim Koslowske, John Howard,
Dave Bechtold, Bud Osmundson (City Engineer)
I. Minutes of last meeting were reviewed.
II. Bud Osmundson had met with this committee some time ago to
give a detailed summary of the Erickson Community Square area from an
engineering and utility point of view. He gave another short overview
of the utility locations of water, sewer, storm drainage, etc..
Bud discussed a possibility of putting a system of storm tiles in from
the Corcoran Hardware parking lot to the city hall parking lot to
control the drainage from the Corcoran lot. This would include some
silt liners as well.
John Loch asked about the burming aspect and if we were going to use
that. various aspects of the tiling and burming would be looked into by
Bud and the Parks & Recreation staff. Bud felt that for about one
hundred dollars and a half day of labor that the Park Staff may be able
to complete a project of this type. Bud and Dave will work with the. -
Parks & Rec. staff on tf-,is proposal for this fall if time allows. This
would serve as a temporary solution.
Bud said that the locations of the utilities was very accessible. He
recommends that the Utility Department be contacted and requested to
UJ.zive tha City hookup Tres. Mlembers Oi- this committee should request
this to be done when the projects are Presented to be completed.
( SAC , WAc , MWCC )
III. Our goal is to obtain as much volunteer labor as possible
to complete the projects on this site. This does include the various
aspects of construction on the shelter. Dave has written a letter to
the Adjutant General's office (Capt . Kevin Gerdes) to see if they would
be interested in assisting us on a community service basis. Dave and
Rick Cook will also check to see if the 49ers would be interested in
working with this project. They will seek input from Del Lorentzson.
Bud said that he has possible sources for fill for next spring that
could be used for the amphitheater. The committee agreed that
amphitheater project should be put on hold until next spring to see if
we can find ways to cut the costs.
IV. Dave said that during the budget discussions on November 8th the
City Council did state that they felt the $ 20,000 in the CIP for the
parking lot improvements should remain funded. This means that if the
amphitheater, shelter, and other possible projects get completed that
the money would be trtere to complete the upgrades and additions to the
parking lot at City Hall in this area of the Erickson Community Square.
V. Kerry Johnson's project Had not status changes to mention.
VI. Bud Stated that there is a chance that the state may ask for a
change in the location of the park and ride from its present location
to some other location.
VII. John Loch stated that Cathy Buscho did find the Jaycee check for
$ 7,000 that was to go to the Chamber of Commerce accounts. That
account (Northern Dakota Chamber of Commerce Foundation) would have
this money available for the uses in the Erickson Community Square
projects. Since the check was written to the Parks & Recreation
Department Dave will receipt the money into that department's donation
accounts, then request a transfer check to be written to the chamber
accounts as listed.
VIII. Dave will give a summary financial update at the next meeting.
IX. John Loch gave a financial update on the money earned by selling
concessions at the Renaissance Festival this year. There was
approximate'_y W 1,SOO earned with a bill of s SOO to be paid for the
insurance premium for coverage to sell the concessions.
