MINUTES OF MARCH 8, 1994 MEETING
Members Present:

Debbie Carron Darlene Solberg
Carl Swenson Kris Niebler
Roche Martin Floyd Roden (Council Member)
Guests:
Bill Olson
Norman Freske
Larry Fornier
Ron Black
Merlin Otto
Tom Constant called the meeting to order at 7:35 p.m. The board members
present reviewed the minutes of the February 7, 1994 meet. Carl Swenson noted
that Item No. 9 stating "company" was an incorrect identification of the brush
clearing crew. The word "company" should be changed to "county sentenced to
serve crew". Darlene Solberg moved that the minutes of February 7, 1994 meeting
with the correction notes should be approved. Roche Martin seconded. Minutes
were approved.
1. The board then had an Open Forum. Roche spoke regarding the grant
application he prepared and submitted to the DNR for Independent School District
728. He stated that he would make a copy of the grant application for the Park
and Rec Board to use as a sample in the event the Board would like to submit an
application to the DNR. His application also included a nature learning center
which sounds very impressive.
2. Merlin Otto was in attendance to explain to the Board and City Council
Members the ISTEA Grant Application that several persons, including Floyd Roden,
were working on. Otto stated that he felt a plan should be developed to
coordinate efforts with the school system.
3. Report on the budgets: The Board discussed the February 16, 1994 letter
from Elaine Beatty. The Board discussed Merlin Otto's fee for attending the Park
and Rec Board Meetings and agreed that the fee is to come out of its own budget.
Otto's fees is $62.50 per hour for at least 10 meetings. He is to assist the
Board in grant applications. Currently there is a $3,600 outstanding balance due
to Mr. Otto for work performed.
4. Darlene Solberg volunteered to send thank you notes to the VFW and the
Legion for monies donated for the warming room/skating rink. The Board also
discussed the potential of using the warming room for other activities during the
warm weather, i.e. bike rodeo. Tom Constant reported on the rink stating that
the warming room was done. The heater was up and that the council approved hired
help for the rink next year working with Jeff Ashfal for workers.
5. Report was given by Carl Swenson and Floyd Roden on the submission of the
conditional use permit to the Planning Commission. The Planning Commission
postponed the approval of the permit and requested an additional map/drawing
defining the line of property for the park, including buildings and parking lot.
Since the line must be defined for grant applications, it was decided that a
Special Park meeting should be held. The Board determined that the park parcel
must be legally defined. Darlene Solberg moved to recommend the adoption of the
Map dated 3/8/94 be used to designate the public land, including the southerly
utility easement plus 60 feet. Debbie Carron seconded motion. All approved.
It was also discussed the future of curb and gutters in the park which
potentially could cost $38,000.
6. Grant Application Report: Merlin Otto gave a detailed discussion on the
ISTEA grant. It was submitted on 2/28/94. Bike paths were outlined for County
39 and 42. Signs will need to be purchased. The bike path would be on Oland to
County Park and Page to 85th to the future Otsego school. Extending down Nashua
to the park by way of the creek - with a scenic path along the creek. Overall
cost would be $246,000.00; 25Z to be paid by the City and 75Z in federal funds.
7. Articles for the Star News and Otsego View will continue to be submitted
by Kris Niebler. She has been requested to run an article in the paper
explaining the naming of the park, the skating rink, and the potential bike
rodeo.
8. Park Construction was discussed. The construction of the ball fields will
begin this summer, i.e. excavation. Also, a picnic area should be one of the
areas constructed this summer, i.e. walking trail using red rock. Jaycees and
Lions Clubs may be willing to volunteer time to help on these areas. A
subcommittee was formed to look into construction projects for this summer.
Members are Darlene Solberg, Tom Constant, Deb Carron and Bill Olson.
Brush clearing was discussed by Carl Swenson. He explained the prickly ash
was cleared. The clearing of the park was done by people needing to perform
restitution in the county. The crew consisted of 7 people for 6 hours per day,
occasionally there were 15 men working on the brush clearing. The city
maintenance crew dug stumps and burned the brush. The Park and Rec board should
send a thank you to the county for allowing the assistance of the work crew.
Carl will compose the letter and submit a copy to the City Commissioners with a
copy to Judges in Wright County.
9. Report on the Historical Preservation was given by Ron Black. A draft of
ordinance to go to Planning Commission should be prepared to establish a society
commission. Having a historical society commission will make the City eligible
for State funds for establishing guidelines.
10. Discussion on Tree City USA will be held over until the April meeting.
11. Resolution 193-67 was discussed. There will be no parking on County Road
42.
12. Spring activities were discussed. There was nothing new to report by the
subcommittee. Safety camp was proposed for August 23 to the 25th.
13. The Bike Rodeo is to be held Saturday, May 21st at City Hall. It was
recommended to have ice cream, hot dogs, and/or chips for refreshments at the
rodeo.
14. Nothing to report regarding the $250.00 Grant from Wright County
subcommittee. The Music in the Park will be sponsored by the County alone.
15. No other items or concerns were discussed.
16. Motion was made to adjourn the meeting by Kris Niebler and seconded by
Darlene Solberg. Motion approved.

FOR THE
Future
Anoka Electric Cooperative, Wright -Hennepin Electric, United Power Association and
Tree Trust would like to invite you to participate in a new tree planting program called
"Plantingfor the Future.". This program offers assistance to community and
neighborhood groups to planing and organizing tree planting projects on either private or
public land. Cost share funds are available to groups can match the dollars directly (hard
match) and have a prepared plan. A Tree Trust coordinator will help the groups organize
and implement their planting project. Plantingfor the Future unites volunteers through
community tree planting projects. Trees improve the quality of life for city residents,
enhance property values and help to conserve energy.
We hope that you will accept the challenge to form a volunteer group and plant trees in
your community. The enclosed application outlines some of the priorities that we feel are
important to consider when coordinating a planting project. Please review these when
designing your project. Applications must be retumed by April 1, 1994 to
Tree Trust, 4100 Vernon Avenue South, St. Louis Park, MN 55416. Applications will be
evaluated by Tree Trust based on overall project content. All applicants will be notified of
acceptance or rejection by Tree Trust.
Please join us in "PLANTING FOR THE FUTURE"!!

HOW TO PLANT A TREE
New Techniques - 1992
JANETTE MONEAF
AG -FS -800
New research has provided us with tree planting techniques that will enable better success for your tree planting efforts. Th
following steps should produce good results:
1. Select a suitable tree species for your site. The tree 11. Wrap the tree's trunk in the fall and remove the wra
size at maturity will determine how dose you plant to in the spring. This is especially important for trees wit
trees, buildings, sidewalks and streets. The planting site smooth bark.
should be part of an overall landscape plan.
12 Pruning should be limited to removal of dead an.
2. Locate all underground utilities by calling Gopher State damaged branches.
One at 454-0002 (metro) or 1-800-252-1166 (statewide).
3. Determine the planting site and mark out the area to
be prepared for planting.
4. Prepare the planting area by using a shovel or rototiller
to loosen the soil 12-16 inches deep. The planting area
should be a least five times the size of the root system
or planting ball. Do not add black dirt or compost
unless it is used uniformly throughout the area.
5. Dig a shallow hole in the center of the prepared area in
which to plant the tree. The root ball should sit on
solid ground rather than loose soil -
6. Carefully lift the tree by the root ball and place it in the
center of the prepared area. Plant it at the same depth
or slightly higher than originally planted. If balled and
burlapped, cut and remove the rope or wires holding
the burlap. Position the tree so that the main stem is
straight.
7. Backfill around the root area andeg ntly pack the soil to
prevent air pockets.
8. Water the planting area. This will help eliminate air
pockets and settle the soil. Do not repack the soil.
9. Rake the soil evenly over the entire area and cover with
2-4 inches of organic mulch (wood chips, pine needles,
or leaves). The mulch will eliminate weeds, retain soil
moisture, and keep soil from eroding. Keep mulch
away from the stem.
10. Do not stake the tree unless wind is a problem or the
tree starts to lean. Support it with a flexible stake and
use wide belting instead of wire inside a hose, etc.

FOR THE
Future
1994 APPLICATION GUIDELINES
L Introduction
The Tree Trust is a non-profit organization dedicated to education, employment training,
and environmental stewardship. Tree Trust was founded in 1976 to replant the urban
forest that was being decimated by Dutch elm disease. Since its founding, Tree Trust
employees and volunteers have planted over 30,000 large trees and over 600,000
seedlings. In 1993, Tree Trust, United Power Association and Anoka Electric
Cooperative and Wright -Hennepin Electric Cooperative formed a partnership to assist
communities in planting and caring for community forests.
Time for Trees is a statewide network of professional urban foresters assisting community
volunteer groups to create and maintain a healthy urban forest. Planting for the Future is
a Time for Trees program funded by cost share dollars provided by United Power
Association, Anoka Electric Cooperative and Wright -Hennepin Cooperative. Matching
funds are provided by community groups in the above mentioned utility service areas. The
goals of the program are:
• To make citizens more knowledgeable and aware of the benefits our urban forest
provides.
• To insure that community forests are planted and managed for long term enjoyment
and benefits.
• To train, challenge and motivate the citizens to plant, manage, and protect their
community forests.
• To have community volunteers experience "hands on" training that will allow them to
take ownership and responsibility for their community forest.
• To bring citizens together to care for urban forest ecosystems.

Dear Mr. Sisch:
On behalf of die City of Otsego Council and Farie3 and Recreation
Commission, I would like to thank you and your Sentence to Serve crews
for your considerable efforts, to clear out the brambles, trash and old
fencing from die site of our new park. In addition you found time to fall
and cut up many dead trees and to trim dead wood out of others.
You may be interested to know that the area you have cleared is
scheduled to have some walking trails, picnic tables and play equipment
for the younger children. Opening up this area of the park will make it
possible for the residents of Otsego to start using the park this year. Be
assured that your efforts are appreciated both now and in the future.

Dear Tom and the Members of the Otsego Parks
and Rec Commission:
This letter is to inform you that I regretfully
resign from the Otsego Parks and Rec Commission.
Due to an increased commitment at my job, I do not
feel that I can effectively fullfill my responsi-
bilities on the Parks and Rec Commission.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the past year and thank
you for the opportunity to be involved in the
planning of Otsego.
Sincere y,
Kriler

MEMO TO: OTSEGO CITY COUNCIL

RE: PARK AND TRAILS REC BOARD MEMBERS
After the Council Meeting of April 11, 1994 I checked on the membership status of the
Park and Recs. Members. They have changed often and are hard to keep track of.
As near as I can figure out, this is the way we stand:
At the Council Meeting of April 11, 1994 we appointed Darlyn Kofoed as a regular parks
member from first alternate. She is already a parks member.
Kris Niebler Resigned and her resignation was OK'd by the Council 4/11/94.
Her replacement would be Debbie Carron who was second alternate and had been moved
up to 1st alternate. The reappointment would be for 3 years - Reappoint for 1994 (needs
to be done).
That leaves us with First Alternate Bill Olson, who you did already appoint.
The motion needs to be amended to Appoint Debbie Carron as a regular parks member.
Also, the following are up for reappointment for 1994 and need to be appointed if you so
desire:
1. Debbie Carron - 3 yr term Reappoint in 1997
(She replaced Kris Niebler)
2. Darlyn Kofoed - 3 yr term Reappoint in 1997
(She replaced Andy Beecher)
Hope this helps,
Elaine Beatty
