Re: Summer Programs, Etc.
I am afraid I will not be able to attend the meeting next week so I am sending this along for you.
I have enclosed a copy of our 2000 budget for you along with a summary of the services provided by our office.
I tried to cover as much as I could. If you have questions, please let me know.
We are also beginning to work on summer and want to make sure we plan exactly what you want for the season.
I know we talked about not doing "Ride the Rec" and doing something a little different without the bus but I
wanted to confirm that with you. I have down that you would like to do some entertainment in the park as
well. We talked about doing a weekly program that combines the activities in the park and the entertainment
and that has been successful in other communities. Can you please let me know what you would like jv do for
sure and we will begin our planning.
Thank you so much and I apologize for not being able to attend the meeting.

Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission initiates Soccer Field
Development Task Force
Blaine, Minn -- The Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission (MASC) has initiated a task
force to investigate methods to address the critical shortage of soccer fields throughout the
State of Minnesota.
The MASC will be conducting public hearings throughout the state asking local citizens to
provide input on the status of soccer field development In their community. The Minnesota
Soccer Field Development Task Force will use this Information to create a detailed plan that
will be presented to the Legislature. Representative Harry Mares of White Bear Lake, a
member of the MASC, will chair the task force,
"Soccer is the fastest growing youth sport in Minnesota, said Representative Mares. "and if
current growth in participation continues, the demand on the existing number of soccer
fields will more than double by 2010."
According to statistics cornplled by the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association and the
Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, Minnesota ranks tenth nationally in the number
of soccer players per population, at 10.8%. In addition, Minneapolis/St. Paul ranks third in
the participation rates of major metropolitan markets, with 12.5% participating In soccer pro-
grams, behind only Kansas City ;20.3%) and Cincinnati (14.6%).
Enrollment in the Minnesota Youth Soccer Association is projected to exceed 82,000 in
2000, making soccer the largest youth sport In the state. In addition, youth soccer has a
highly diverse profile of participation, with nearly equal participaticn by bays and girls.

Otsego Park and Rec Commission Meeting Tonight
Can you please let them know I will be a little late as I need to go to Elk Rivet's meeting
at 7pm and then will be heading out to Otsego at about 7:15pm. I do need to be out of
there by Bpm so if they can adjust the agenda at all, it would be really helpful. I am sorry
but I have another meeting at 8:15pm to go to.

Re: Report on "Mighty Kicks" bill
The bill in question is House File 2733. This bill
requires the Amateur Sports Commission to set up a
20 year plan for funding and constructing
additional soccer fields. This bill is set up in a
typical manner for dispensing this kind of money,
it requires the money to be equally spent in each
Congressional district and requires the local
government to pay at least 50% of the total cost.
Grants would be limited to no more than $100,000.
The bill has had its first reading but has not
moved out of committee. It is my understanding
that bills must move out of committee by March 1,
2000 to be considered in this legislative session.
Even if passed, the bill would require that several
public hearings be held before a plan could be
established. As 'presently proposed, under the most
optimistic conditions, there would not be any money
available until next year. Pessimistically, they
could pass the bill but not provide any grant money
and then it could take several years for funding to
be found.

Re: Park Board Items
Since I will not be able to attend the next Park Board
Meeting on Wednesday, February 9, 2000, I thought I
would provide you an update on items of various
interest to the Park Board.
1. Terms of Office - I was incorrect that Tony Faust's
term is up. The correct information is as follows;
Tony Faust, Tom Baillargeon, and Sue Kroll's seats are
up at the end of 2000. Nicole Martin's open seat is up
at the end of 2001. Jeff Bartheld, Tom Constant, and
Mike Day's seats are up at the end of 2002.
2. Planning Assistance - City

3. Merlin Otto's Files - The City Engineer has brought
in Merlin Otto's files. They are in a box in the
meeting room. The Park Board can look over them at
their leisure, all I ask is that you do not take them
out of City Hall. I hope you find the information you
are looking for.
4. Sprinkler System for the Soccer Field - In speaking
with Denny McAlpine he confirmed that a new well would
be needed to sprinkle the fields. The reason for this
is though the City well is big enough in terms of
capacity the pressure tank is not big enough. He said
the pressure tank is as big as could be fitted in the
upper story of City Hall.
A review of Merlin's records showed that he had
prepared a Capital Improvements Program (CIP) for
Prairie Park several years ago. That CIP showed that
