bec�,us� Qf:the access to Stevenson School, this area is not a high
pr�.�xity a�ea, He said the area children would be able to use the
fac�.J.ities at the school. Mr. Blaix said the area with the higr,est
pxiox�ty was established as the Rice Creek Road area, and in five
or s�ix years, this area would be completely developed with no park
a� all.
Mr. Blair said he xeceived a letter from the Director of Parlcs and

prab�ems when the one ox two lot parks are used for baseball. He
sa�a.d it is now necessary to fence one one of the small parl�s with
cycl4ne fencing. He said the original proposal was that the Ci'ty
pay'�or one half of the fencing, but they would probably end up
paying for all of the fencing. ,
Mr. ��.a�.r ��peated his xecammendation f�com the Gommission tv the
Counc�.� �k��.� the Commis�ian wauld �re£er the City to reach �ome agr�e�

C�,�y �uy �h;e lats in the proposed Viet's Addi�.�on.
Mayor i,�.eb�. asked the other m�mbers of the Parks and Recxeation
ConnmiS��.o�, if they concurred with the recommendation af th� Ch�.�.r-
man, Th�at� response was yes, .
Cc�un�3.7man Uttex asked if th� Compxeher�sive Park Plan had b�ez� pre-
�+�n'�ed to t�.� Parks a�d Recreation Commission? The City Engineex
said thexe would be a meeting wa,th the Commission the next week. '
�sau�,��.].man Utter said according to the Comprehensive Park Plan, tk��s

of a���ament should be reached to provide a facili,ty �or th� smal�er
c�.a,ld��e�,. H� saa,d the only area of concern would be th.e cr�a�a.r,in
o� a ba�seball d�.amond. .

with �.id in fu�ding in the North Park a�rea. He asked if 5% of the
$90,QQQ was u�ed for th�s, what would tlie County loose.
N�r, Ktardiak said this would detract from the plannec3 acquisitian and
p�.ar►nin� development, He said the County cansiders development Qf
areas a� s�condaxy. He said the stage ��f deveiopment could be dQne
at an� '�im�, but the acqui�ition time may be limited. Mr. Koxd�a�C
said ii �,he money were used by the districts invalved equally, �his
wou�d de�ract from any facility provided. He sited the ice arena as
a�, exampi� stating it would be more feasible to provide one adequate
a�ena �hazi i.t would be �o �arovide a smaller, inadequat� facility for
e�ch dist�rict. Mr. Koxdiak said each meml�er of the Board represents
his own district as first priority, He said if the matter of the devel�
tapment of a nature center was considered, the County would like to
h�ve s�m� support in backing up the cost. He said he would personal�y
supp�art a natuxe center, but he feels the area needs a good one. He
sai� a.� would be a question of who is going to build the centex and
Whexe i� i.s gQing ta be,
Ccaun�ilmar� Breider sai.d if evexyone ask:ed for 5 0, this plan would prob-
a'b�y no� �vork aut. Mx. Kordiak said th�at Fxidley contributes 33�
c�� �he tax base, and ends up paying out; more than it getS back. Mr.
I�cax�d�ak added, many ather municipaliti��s in Anoka County are disap-
�a�►inted about the location of �Ghe arena in Fridley. He said the Coun�y
�+�ard h�a to make a decision that would enable the arena to pay fox
�.�se�.� an� locate it close to a freeway and also accessable to pubJ.ic
�TaT�Sporta�Gipn, Mr. Kordiak said the area in Fridley provided wat+er,
s�wer} �nd proper soil far the construction.
�Isyor Liebl asked if the money had to be used for a County project,
�►x c�uld th� County give the City mone;�? Mr. Kordiak said he would se�
r�+� r���or� why the Cour�ty could not aid in the funding, but he rem�nd+ed
the m�m�ers of the Council that they w��uld have to g�t the necessary

the �nvirQ�ment and the County's plans had shown uses and boundaries,
He �a�d tt�e plan had not been accepted by the Lino Lake� area.
C4un��.lmart Ne� askedwhat the time schedule on the developm�nt of the

d+��e�d +�� �he passage of the bill and how much of the $3,000,000 �cou�d
�a� obtained �ar deve�opment of the area. He said ther� �s no time

s�n what is avallable. He said the state feels that roads are mor�
impartat��. Councilman Nee said it would not be developed all at

al� at once.
�AUnci.lm�n Nee questioned if the County had given Coon Ra�ids land
fox t���r galf course, Mr. Kordiak said this was a part of the
�unker Prairie County Park. He said Coon Rapids approached the County
and saici they would develop the golf course on the property. He
said the property had been leased to them with an agreement or�
�Qndi�ions that all the people of Anoka County could use the £acili�y
+�n an equal basis. He said the County had ob�ained a golf couxse
withou� buildiz�g :it. He said they had not used the entir� amount
�a�' acreage they had planned at first and later requested Zhe cQn-
stxuction af the nine hole course on the remaining portiart. Mx.
Kordi�l� said the same type of agreement was instituted concerning
this us�, He added, the majority of the Board felt the land was nat
ns�ded by the County at this time.
Mayor I.�.ebl said Senator Schaaf had stated the $3,000,000 would be
�.vailatal� fo� acquisition and develapment of park faci.lities.
H� a�ked �h� way the bill is written, what is the prime obje�t�ve
o�''Gkae bi11, aequisition vr development? Mr. Kord�a� said both.
I��: s�id mca�t of the �apital improvements are on a cash basis and
n,caw it �.� poss�ble to take advantage of the tax base vi future ,
y�ars, He �aid the money can be utilized for boih �cquisition
a�nd deve�.opment, but develQpment is secandary.
�oun�i,lman Bxe�der said if the County wouJ.d have a natuxe cent�r
�hera wc►u].d have to be some exp�rienced pexson in chaxge of th�
�aca,l.�ty ���h as a naturalis�. He said the municipalities cou�.d be
��sponai.ble fox the scheduling o£ such a natural�.st. He added,
the�p �.� �t gxeat demand for a nature center and a good schedule,
�Ix. T�x��Cildson said according to recent studies a naturalist wcauld
cos� a}�prQximately $50,000 to $1�0,004 for a small nature center and
cc�ul.d run �xvm $150,000 to $850,000 depending on what kind of
��af�ing is d�sired. I�e said the natur alist or guide could be pro-
vid�d �'px the lesser amount when the progr.am is in its infancy and
would �z�Grease and expand conti�ually, He added, not one of those

Gc�unc��.m�rx �rezder said another considerat�.on woul�i be the s�ze af
th� nature cent�r area. He said some areas could rs;rt acco.modate
all thas� £xom the sehaol districts. He said the maintenan�e af

Mxs. Hughes questioned the total amou�nt of resources rteeded by the
Cqunty and said perhaps more than one� natural area wpuld be needed.
��� Krardiak said he would be very caL�tious in this type of develop-
m�nt. Rather tf��n create many inferi_or facilities, he would like
to create one first class facility. 1le saia either the County could
go a�c�ad and build the facility and have it first class or allow
each municipality develop their own. He said he could not say this
would be a bad idea,
Mx. 0'Bannc�n said before the County �aould consider the possibility
' of a nature center at the County levc�l, each of the men an the Boaxd
would have to study the matter. Mr. Kordiak said when the County
was goit�g to build tlie Ice Arena, th��y considered first of all the
' need,s�condly where any by who is th�e greatest need, thirdly, how
many purposes would it serve, and fourth, what type of staff funding
would l�e needed. Mr. Dave Harris �uggested the members of the Board
, est�blish an ad hoc committee to consider the nature center praposa].
accvrding to the criterias listed by Mr. Kordiak. He said the Board

FRIDLEY, MWNESOTA 55432
.-
The Fridley City Council is presently holding hearings and gathering information
i' in an effort to arrive at a decision on the use of North Park. I am enclosing a copy
of the feasibility study and the financial consultants report on North Park.
', On Monday, June 25, 1973, an extensive public hearing �aas held to go over the :
feasibility report by Don Brauer and to discuss the future of North Park. That
hearing raised several questions regarding the Anoka County's plans concerning park
acquisition and development. The City of Fridley would like to explore this matter
'' further with appropriate officials from Anoka County. I would, therefore, like to
invite those officials that you deem appropriate to be present at the Council Meeting
of July 9, 1973, to review proposed plans for the County park system. Of partict�lar
, interest to the City, is the youth acr_ivity center proposed for Bunker Prairie Par�c
and the acquisition of lands in the Lino Lak2s area,
'
LJ
�'
�
,I have also discussed this matter with Ch.airman A1 Kordiak, and he indicated
the County would be glad to discuss this matter with the City of Fridley. I will
schedule your presentation for the first itea� on the agenda, so whoever attends the
meeting will not have to sit through the entise meeting.
If you have any questions concerning infarmation that the City of Fridley desires,
please give me a call. I would like to thank: you in advance for your cooperation.

6431 University Avenue NE

Gentlemen:
' For aver a year the Fridley League of Women V��ters studied nature centers
and visited several areas in the city to dete:rmine which would be best suited
for a nature center. Our consensus in March :1972 was that �iorth Park in the
' northern part of �'ridley should be establishe�3 as a nature center. We axe
seeking your support for this project.
'
Since a na.ture center is a public service fac:i.lity there are four points that
the League of Wanen Voters would ask you to c��nsider:
I. NEID
Anoka County at present has no nature ee�lter. We are pleased to hear that
the County Commissioners have proposed e:;tablishment of a nature center in
the Lino La.kes area. We feel, however, 1that Anoka. County will need several
nature centers as the county continues ii�s rapid grawth.
' In Hennepin County there are seven naturEa center areas (not all are de-
.ve2oped as yet). In the southern part oi' tha.t county alone, there are
three nature centers, Carver, Hyland, and Wood Lake, all within close
proximity of one another. All are well-iised year around. Wood Lake serves
' upward of 60,000 people per year, but st��l must turn away three people
for every one they serve.
� 2. USAGE
,
'
Anoka County residents have been using r��ture centers in other counties. In
Hennepin County residents are given first: priority for tours conducted by
a naturalist. Accorciing to Leonard Birkriolz, Science Coordina.tor for
School District 16, Carver Nature Center cannot provide a naturalist for
Anoka County school chi.ldren during schoc>1 hours. 2�Ir. Birkholz also tells
us that Anoka County children cannot use the trails when they are being
interpreted for Hennepin County children.
Based on other nature center usage we hav�e good reason to believe that
several nature centers in Anoka Caunty wi.11 be well-used.
3. D�x�
Citizens from all over Anoka County have expressed a desire to use North
Park as a na.ture interpretive center. Last fall about 1300 people signed
a request to the Fridley City Council that a nature center be established
in North Park.

all. point to the fact that l�orth Park's t>ogs, marshes, creek, oak savannah,
aspen forest, native prairie, varied bircL life, such diverse animals as
beaver and deer offers within its gently rolling 124 acres an excellent
opportunity ior a nature interpretation c:enter.•
4�. ACCESSZBILI'i'Y
North Pa.rk is uniquely accessible. It is� within walking, biking, cross-
country slciing, and snaw-shoeing dista.nce� of the most heavily urbanized part
of Anoka County.
Public buses on both sides af Idorth Park ca.n bring county residents within
a short walk of the park. Persons of every age will find North Park readily
accessible.
At present F,llm Creek Nature Center in Hennepin County is the closest facility
for Anoka County residents arid wovld require private transporta.tion.
The Fridley LeaDue of �Tomen Voters urges participa.tion o� Anoka County in developanent
of a na.ture ce�ter in i3orth Park. This facility will se�c�vE residents of the entire
county.
We ask you to help preserve and e:z.ha.nce for ourselves and our children 1.00 years
of natu.re's handiwork in North Park. �

Gentlemen'
On Wednesday, June 27th, the Commissxon met in a special session to discuss the
proposed purchase of park land on 64Z Way. Members present were Shirley Caldwell, Gary-
Stimmler, and aon Blair. Also present was Paul Brown, Director of Parks and Recreation.
After reading the memo from the City Manager to the City Council dated May 18, 1973
on the subject, the Commission would like to concur with the City Manager as follows:
1 "In the overall park land acquisition program, this area was not as high a priority
as other areas in the City, The area in question is probably not rated as high a
priority for park land acquisition due to the fact that Stevenson School is within a few
blocks of the area, and with ihe construction of the Stevenson School walkway, there will
� be xeasonably easy access for the neighborhood children to go down to the school to
utilize it as a playground without the necessity of going on East River Road. This area
at Stevenson School presently has ballfieids, playground area, and general skating area.
� It may be possible to negotiate utilization of an area on the school ground for apparatus
for small children to better utilize the school property. I be�ieve that before the
Council commits to purchasing land in this area for a tot lot playground, consideration
' should be given to the entire City and the relative needs and priorities for playgrounds,
and then weigh this need against other needs of the City."
This subject was also discussed at the regular Parks and Recreation Commission
, meeting on June llth. The Commission agreed that they were �rpposed to the purchase of
the two lots on 64z Way and suggested that an investigation begin to lease Stevenson
School property for a tot 1ot park.
,
�
'
,
CONCLUSION: The Commission does not recommend purchase.
SUGGESTION: Administration open discussion with School District #14 to a
possible lease agreement at Stevenson School.

THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
PURCHASE OF LOTS 2 AND 3 IN PROPOSED VEIT'S 2ND ADDITION FOR
PARK PURPOSES _
Pursuant to your direction, we have been involved in negotiating for the
purchase of parkland on 642 Way from Arthur Veit, owner of the property. It
is proposed that the City purchase from Mr. Veit Lots Z and 3, shown on the
attached diagram, for use as a tot-lot park in the area. We are proposing
these two lots in preference to Lots 4 and 5 because they less expensive than
Lots 4 and 5, and secondly and more importantly, they are�safer for use as a
kiddie's playground because there is less of the area abuting the streets on
Lots 2 and 3. Mr. Herrmann has negotiated a price of $4500 a lot, plus pay-
ment of the special assessments for the two lots which amounts to $1,509.07,
for a total price for the land of $10,509.07.
The terms of the sale is somewhat dependent upon your action on the
� planned use report of revenue sharing monies. If you approve this report, the
terms of sale would be cash with $8,701 being paid out of revenue sharing
funds, plus the remainder being paid for out of the park acquisition account
, in the 1973 budget. As you recall, we did have some money for acquisition of
parklands on Rice Creek Road, but that has been delayed due to the uncertainty
of where the parkland is be acquired in this area.
,
'
�I,
The acquisition of this area would give us
area into a tot-lot type park. It is proposed
time in 1974--play equipment in a sand area and
hockey rink) be installed for winter use by the
the layout for the property is attached.
Recommendation:
the opportunity to develop the
that there be installed --some-
that a public skating area (no
public. The rough sketch of
To authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into a purchase agreement
with Mr. Arthur Veit for the purchase of Lots 2 and 3 in the proposed Veit's
Second Addition for utilization of a park.

, are being claimed arising out of an accident which occurred on June 8, 1972, and

of your own choice and at your own expense to represent the City's interests
'' over and above the limits of the policy. The Company does not require that
you have your own attorney, but, it wants you to know that you have the privilege
of doing so if that is your choice.

Re: Project 103
. Enclosed are contract documents for the first phase of corrective
work involving digging and replacement or repair of the worst pipe
failures. The basis for this work is time and materials and the contrac-
tor is Bianconi Construction.Co. We recommend the acceptance of this
contract as negotiated with Bianconi. Hourly rates have been estab-
lished for all anticipated men and equipment required for the work.
The total cost is estimated to be about $22,000, but is somewhat
intangible due to the nature of the televis3on discoveries and the
need for repair experience to make final decisions on all phases of the
work. We wi11 have a project representative working with Bianconi at
all times and will have an engineer very close to the process.
The second phase of the work will be chemically treating or solidifying
those cracks and failures that can be efficiently corrected in that
way. The precise definition of that work will be simplified as Bian-
coni's work proceeds. We understand that the City has an annual rate
contract with Solidifiers Inc. for this type of work and use of this
standing contract would seem appropriate.
The third element of this corrective work is the recompaction of
unstable trenches. Our recommendation is to use P.C.I., the paving con-
tractor, to accomplish this on an equipment time basis. This would be
advantageous for scheduling of the completed paving. It is similar to the
work they will be doing in preparation for paving and will have the added
advantage of a single responsible contractor for subgrade and surface.
Estimates for the last phases will be forwarded as information be-
comes available during the first phase work.

This Agreement made and entered into this day of , 1973,
by and between City of Fridley, Minnesota, Party of the First Part, hereinafter
referred �o as the OWNER, and Bianconi Construction Co., Inc, Party of the Second
Part, hereinafter referred to as the CONTRACTOR. �
WITNESSETH:
That the CONTRACTOR, in consideration of the covenant and the agreement of the
OWNER hereinafter set forth, and in accordance with the hourly rates, as indicated
in the conformed copy of the proposal, agrees that,
, WHEREAS, THE OWNER has heretofore asked for Proposals for the furnishing of mater-
ials, labor and equipment and the use of CONTRACTOR'S equipment and plant, and all
else necessary, for the repair of Sanitary Sewer Project No. 103 and appurtenances
' and incidentals thereto, as shown on the Plans and as set forth in the �
Specifications now on file with.the OWNER, and that,
' WHEREAS, THE CONTRACTOR has submitted a Proposal in response thereto, which has
been accepted by the ONWER, in which the Contractdr agrees to and shall furnish
all necessary materials, labor, use of tools, equipment and plantand everything

condition.

FURTNER: THE CONTRACTOR shall commence work under this Contract on the date
determined at the meeting of the OWNER, the CONTRACTOR and the Engineer. The
contractor shall prosecute the work in an expeditious and cooperative manner.
Failure to maintain sufficient workmen, equ;ipment or materials to ensure
expeditious prosecution of the work, as determined by the engineer, shall be
deemed sufficient cause for the owner to proceed according to Section 27 of the
General Conditions.
FURTHER: THE CONTRACTOR agrees to accomplish the construction in accordance with
the Specifications for WATER, SANITARY SEWER and STORM SEWER Project No. 103
exclusive of Addendum #1 and subject to the following modification: All
information in said aforementioned specifications as related to WATER and STORM
SEWER is deleted and the latest revisions to the General Conditions of Contract
and Specifications for Sanitary Sewer are included. Plans applicable to this
contract are Sheets 5 of 10, 6 of 10 and 7 of 10 of the plans for WATER, SANITARY
SEWER and STORM SEWER Project No. 103, such sheets now identified as sheets l of 3,
2of�., and3of3.
FURTHER: THE CONTRACTOR agrees that this contract sha11 not necessarily be
' limited to just that repair work as is indicated on sheets 1 of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 3.
The Engineer is aware of additional locations not shown on the plan and of a lessor
degree of required repair, which may be added to the contract depending on the
' adequacy of alternate repair methods and comparabl�e costs. However, the contractor
should not conclude that all work indicated on sheets 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3 will
be accomplished. The Engineer or his representative will determine the location
and number of repair work areas to be completed by the Contractor. Thus the
' number of repair areas may be decreased as determined by the engineer.
