10-10-95 PRAs the third year of our ice rink operation the popularity is
improvinq. There is a need for more space. This planned
expansion should accommodate that growth. Also it will allow
for more area for skating_ lessons and increased area to
skatinq likewise.
The present ice rink could be expanded with insignificant
cost and little effort. The excavating would be done as last
time with a. bobcat. It would take about two days with the
cost of fuel at $25.00. Also needed would be a. bundle of
short grade stakes, $10.00. No extra lighting would be
needed as the lighting from the parking area would do. If
another light was needed it would cost $50.00.
Dave Chase who's idea this was reported that the water and
watering tank again will be available as last year. The
expansion would be no problem for his staff to accommodate.
No other costs should be occurred as approved budget for
1995/96 will cover the staff, phone. etc..

EY 96 ISTEA GRANT
ISTEA PROJECT COST: $246,100.00
FED. GRANT FUNDS: 184,575.00
CITY FUNDS: 61,525.00 (25%) plus land
Project: 1.3 miles of bike pedestrian paths
4.55 miles of bike lanes
Bypass lanes
Landscaping
Additional Costs: Land 3.06 acres $21,500.00
Between the time grant application was made and the grant application was approved,
engineering costs were determined by Mn/DOT to be ineligible for ISTEA funding.
Nevertheless, the grant allocation is based on the full application amount of $246,000
which included $37,800.00 of engineering costs.
If the City would pursue the project as it now stands, the local share would be:
$61,525.00 - Construction Costs
21,500.00 - Land Acquisition
49.220.00 - Engineering (increased with project construction costs)
TOTAL $132,245.00
The City does not have the funds to finance this scale of project. As directed by the
City Council at the joint special meeting of October 3, 1995, we are evaluating ways
to scale back and finance the project.
1. Defer land acquisition for off road trail west of Nashua.
2. Request land donation in exchange for future park
dedications credits.
3. Eliminate bypass at CSAH39 and CSAH19.
4. Eliminate or defer land acquisition from Page to
Elementary School. Acquire from 83rd St. (.26 acres) to
School and use 83rd and Palmgren as a link to 85th
Street.

Re: Planning Committee Update & Recommendations
The planning committee met on September 20th to discuss the coming months recreational activities.
Below you will find several updates and recommendations as a result of our meeting.
Hayride:
- Scheduled to take place on Saturday October 28th from 6-9:30 pm.
- Debbie has agreed to again supply Grocery Bags and candies to line the route. Darlene may have
her students cut faces into the bags similar to a Jack -o -Lantern.
- Darlene will be soliciting the Lions for support and donation to provide treats.
- Community Recreation staff will arrange burning permit.
- Community Recreation staff will be on site to collect fees from those who are not pre -registered.
- Resource for horse drawn hayride have ail fallen through. Community recreation staff followed
many leads as well as Tom C. and Jeff B. Thanks for trying Though!!
- Considering no horses, Debbie has arranged for use again of Floyd Rodens Tractor and Trailer.
Debbie also to find one more trailer. (Last year Doug L supplied a trailer, DC will ask him again for
this year) We will also need one other tractor. Tom B. Supplied it last year. Is this available this year
as well?
- As of 10/5195 70 participants are registered
- Jeff A. will work with Tom C. for possible donation of pumpkins to add atmosphere.
- Community Recreation will continue to promote the event. Flyers / Posters, article in Otsego View
(done ) and public service announcements in the paper.
Undones:
- Route needs to be determined considering recent development
- Who will build, start and monitor the fire? I think Tom C. volunteered for this at the last meeting. Is
this right?
- Parking Organization - Judy Hudson has informed Jeff A. that there is a scheduled anniversary
parry at the City Hail that same evening. She suggests directing panting of the hayride participants
back to the hay ride / fire area using the construction service road. Jeff A. and Rec. Staff can help
with this and will prepare a sign. Please consider this and have some member of the Park
Commission contact Jeff A. to share your parking strategy.
Inclement weather: Should miserable weather be present a decision to cancel should be made. I
(Jeff A. ) suggest that no decision be made until 4: 00 pm and that a committee of 2 be selected to
make this decision and then a calling tree established. Please include Jeff A., as Community
Recreation Staff will attempt to call all registered participants and we will also have a person on site
from 5:45 to 6:30 to inform any who may show up. Please let me know of another committe
appointee for this responsibility of making a cancellation decision.
Scavenger Hunt:
- Scheduled for Sat. Oct 21 - 1-2:30
- For ages 3-12 and families.
- This is fully organized by Community Recreation Staff. No Park Commission involvement is
required.
Winter Fest '96
- Was budgeted for "96 with anticipated Revenue of $50 and Expenditures of $150.
Recommendation: That this event again be organized with the following opportunities: Skating,
sledding, Bonfire, Chili, Modified winter golf and frisbee golf. Medallion hunt was also suggested.
Who / should $ be solicitied for the prize?
The Park Commission should discuss and set a date. A date should be set by your Nov. Meeting as
the Recreation Brochure goes to print on Dec 6th.
Skating Rink Warming House Hours:
At your last meeting you directed JA to research and recommend the season dates for'95-'96.
Seasonal dates Recommendation: Target the opening date as Saturday December 16th. Final date
of Sunday February 18th.
Please discuss how, who, etc. will flood and remove snow. These persons identified should be made
aware of the target open date and plan accordingly.

Hours Recommendation:
1 suggest that you set this years warming house hours as: Weekends and non -school days 1-9 pm.
and Mon- Thur 5- 8:00 pm, Fridays 5 - 9 pm. Last years hours were: Mon - Fri. 5-9 & Weekends
and Non -school days 1-9.
Staff can also be instructed to close early when there are no skaters, and when weather suggests
that it is unlikely that any one would come to skate.
Please determine your desired hours. This information can then be added to the brochure. The
brochure goes to print on 12/6/95, so a decision at least by your November meeting will be helpful!
Thank You!!
