Dr. Trezona continued the presentation stating the members of the Foundation could

a film conservationist employed by WCCO.
Dr. Trezona ran the film presentation for the Council which was a tour of the

He indicated a nature center would serve as an educational tool for School District
#14. Mr. Meyer read the statement aloud to the Council and audience and restated the
Resolution passed by the School Boa.rd recently, in support of a nature center and
which also offered aid in the compensation of a naturalist. He believed this program
would be good for the children of School District #14.
Dr. Trezona passed out a written statement to the Council and City Manager and said
there may be some question about his interest in a nature center when he was a dentist
He continued saying the closest he had come to a nature center was to fill the teeth
of a friend's stuffed tiger head, in order to question him on the authenticity of the
wild beast. .
Dr. Trezona read his statement aloud to the Council and audience and said the movie
told the story better than he could tell it. He then introduced Mr. Chuck Ross and
said he was the person who had made the film.
P1r. Ross addressed the Council and said he had not produced the film, this was
done by Jack Jones and Peggy Fleetham. Ne said the North Park area as well as the
Woodlake area was unique because of the urban community surroundings. Fie informed
those present that the narration within the movie was done by a fifth grade student.
Mr. Mark Noble addressed the Council and said he would like to explain the
project and thoughts of Dr. Dennis Holloway, who was not yet present at the meeting.
Mr. Noble explained Dr. .Holloway was associated with the project Ouroboros at the
University of Minnesota which was the creation of a solar powered home. He continued
saying Dr. Holloway is interested in creating a solar powered nature center in North
park and with the energy crisis, this would be very unique. Mr. Noble explained
the proposal as constructing a wind and solar powered center where all of the waste
could be recycled. He added, this would be very important, and he thought the City
of Fridley should look into this proposa7.
Dr. Trezona again addressed the Council saying there may be more members present
who would want to address the Council. He called on the members present.
Mr. Bernie Fashingbauer, 110 Suzanne Ct., Director of the Warner Center in St.
Paul, addressed the Council and introduced himself as a naturalist. He pointed
out that from eight to ten groups of Fridley young people attend the Warner Nature
Center facility each year. He stated the facility is filled up every day and
cannot begin to handle the number of calls for requests for tours.
Mayor Liebl said he had been cansidering the many arguments in favor of a nature
center and this is why he favor hirinq a natural interpretive director as a part
of the City of Fridley staff. Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Fa_shinbauer if he felt this
is the way the average citizen of Fridley would feel, would he favor a nature
interpretive center? Mr. Fashingbauer responded stating he could not come up
with anything that would do justice to the City and its enterprises as a nature
center would.
Mayor Liebl asked how many nature centers in the area or metro wide area could
be depended on for this type of program. Mr. Fashingbauer said at Warner, there
had to be full time people hired to fill the demands of one community. He said
immediately after the center opened, they were filled with reservations and unable
to take in any walk in visitors. He stated, tney could not meet the demands.
Mayor Liebl asked if the nature centers were unique in design. Mr. Fashingbauer
explained there are no two alike in physical facilities and no two operate in the
same manner.
Councilman Nee asked how the Warner Center had been financed. Mr. Fashingbauer
said the Center was owned by a private Foundation and.the Science Museum of
Minnesota. He said the funding for the Science Museum had been obtained through
the State Legislature. He said the center operates with almost no public funding.
Mr. Fashingbauer said Mr. Goodrich lowry could answer these questions, he v,�ould
be one of the best judges of the metro area nature centers. Ne explained, Mr.
Lowry had formed Carver and three other centers.

I Mr. Goodricti Lowry addressed the Council and stated before the formation of the
, � committee to establish the Carver and other centers, he had traveled all over
� the country to review nature centers. He recalled when he heard there was discussion
� on a proposed nature center in the Fridley area, he thought this would be just an
; ordinary site. He toured the area with Mr. Mark Noble and Mrs. Seegar and was
, antonished with the beavers, marshes and other assets of the site. He stated this
is one of the best opportunities in the country for the installation of a nature
center. He said he was impressed with the qu�;lity of the people concerned with
; the project and also impressed with the environment of the City of Fridley.

Dr. Trezona stated he felt Mr. Lowry's attendance at the meeting and interest
in the proposal was a compliment to the community.
Dr. Trezona commented that Dr. Holloway had arrived and he introduced him to the
Council and audience. He asked Dr. Holloway if he would like to make any
statements and Dr. Holloway said he would like to listen to the general discussion
before he would make any comments.
The Rev. Winston Worden addressed the Council and said, as the Council is aware,
he is a Pastor and had had a great deal of experience in Scouting. He stated he
would have to say in all honesty and from the bottom of his heart that his greatest
experiences with God have occurred out af doors. He further explained he was not
saying he did not enjoy experiences in the established church. He said he had
seen more men and young men have religious experiences on top of a mountain or
at the lake shore, than he has experienced as a Pastor in church. He said he
supported the nature center proposal because this would build the educational
experiences for the City of Fridley and also give the people a spiritual insight.
He stated there would be no greater possible use for the land than what is being
proposed by the nature center interpretive advocates.
Dr. Trezona stated he hoped what the Foundation had presented to the Council was
acceptable.
Mayor Liebt said he was impressed with the presentation given by the members of the
Foundation. He said he was also impressed by the proposed nature interpretive
program and said he is sure this type of program would be worthwhile to the community.
Mayor Liebl directed his comments to Dr. Trezona stating he had not been born in
this country, but had traveled in many parts of the world and had seen many different
kinds of countries. He assured those present that the future generations and
citizens of Fridley will remember and appreciate the decision which would be made
by the City Council on the North Park issue. He recalled the land had been acquired
a few years ago with funding aid coming in the amount of 25% from the City of Fridley,
25� from State Funds, and 50% from Federal Funding.
Councilman Starwalt explained he had been hearing the pros and cons of both sides
of this issue and one of the main facto rsin determination of the usage of North
Park would be the funding source. He said he had heard the golf course would be
self supporting and the nature center would be expensive. He questioned the members
of the Foundation asking if they were prepared to discuss their proposals for
funding the nature center at this time. He asked if this would be discussed now or
sometime in the future.
Or. Trezona said he did not think the Foundation was prepared to make a statement
of the funding at the present time. He explained the Foundation is not sure where
the funding would come from. He recalled the development of another center in the
area and commented it had obtained funding from the County and also from private
donations. He said this made the nature center possible. He said there would be.
some educational programs provided from the tax rolls through the interest and aid
of School District #14. He said they were prepared to aid in the compensation of
a naturalist. He pointed out there would be no immediate need for any large
expendi.tures of money to use the facility, it could be used at the present time
in its present condition with the use-of a naturalist. He concluded, he did not
know the answer, but thought it could be funded.
Mayor Liebl expressed doubt that the group could accumulate enough funds to make
the nature center operational and maintained without any cost to the citizens of
Fridley.. Mayor Liebl repeated the request by the Chairman of the Foundation, stating
if the City of Fridley would go ahead and lease the Foundation the 120 acres to
the foundation, and tell the people they would not have to contribute to the project,
this would be irresponsible. Dr. Trezona agreed, but stated, the facility would
be usable as a nature center as it stands. ' '

Mayor Lieb] said the nature center supporters would have to be honest in the
funding matter. He pointed out that the tax structure of the City was very good �
at the present time and the City and County taxes had decr^eased, but the School
District #14 taxes had increased. He said if the School District would have done '
the same thing, there would not have been any increases in the City. He said
he would not say the City would agree to give the Foundation the land and this would 1
resolve the City from any responsilility. He said there would have to be some
cooperation for the establishment of a nature center in the City of Fridley or the '
idea would not get off the ground.
Dr. Trezona agreed saying this could be done with the Cooperation of the City and ~
the School Districts.
Mayor Liebl pointed out that there is no Federal funding available at this time for
this type of project. fie said it would be possible to talk to the state, fie said
again, this would have to be done in the best interest of the entire community, and
all of the people in the community would have to be considered in the decision
making process. He added, both requests for the development of North Park have
to be considered, and he would be making a proposal which he believed would be
acceptable to the Council.
Councilman Starwalt said he had been questioning all aspects of the proposal during
his time on the Council and he had thought there was not enough firm information
to hang on to any exacting plans. He pointed out that the other successful nature
centers had received contributions from private sources, Sta.te funds and also
Federal f.unding. He said in this instance or proposal, the tax payers of Fridley
would be compelled to pay the initial cost which may be about $80,000. He said
the Woodlake Center was only one half of this amount and the remainder was obtained
through State and Federal funding.
Councilman Starwalt questioned the change in opinion expressed by the School District
#14. He said initially, School District #14 said they would not be able to help
with the funding or staffing of such a nature center, and the second decision had
been changed to indicate there would be some aid in the staffing of a nature
center.
Mr. John Meyers, Chairman of the Board of Education of School Districl: #14,
addressed the Council and said the matter was discussed at two different times
with different criteria in mind. He explained that from the standpoint of the
structure of the curriculum at the time that this was first reviewed, it could not
be said that the School District could provide this aid which would be something
down the line. He further explained the first decision was one decided upon on
the first set of facts, it was a job well done with what was available to work
with. He said recently the School Board had met and discussed at length the policy
which it would establish in the matter. He said the second was a policy statement
which would indicate their policy for the future. He continued this may be done
with the cooperation of the City and the School District and this would not
necessarily mean there would be an increase in taxes for the people of Fridley.
Councilman Starwalt said he had heard that there is no limit to the amount of
activities that could be planned and executed at the nature center. He addressed
his questions to Mr. Fashingbauer who had stated the nature centers are fi7led up
for months in advance just hours after opening. He explained one May day he was
in the area of a nature center and stopped to review it. He stated there was only
two staff inembers present, one was talking on the telephone and the other was
maintaining a bridge. He said there was one visitor and himself there, and not
one other soul in sight. He said he was puzzled and wondered where all of the
people were. He asked what type of scheduling was done, was this during peak
and non-peak times. He asked if there are times where there is no one present, �:
Mr. Fashingbauer said he wished this was true. He stated at the center where he
is on the staff, they are booked solid, but there are some sQasonal breaks. He
continued to explain that a minimum of 140 people per day would be visiting the
center. He said the staff limits the number to two classrooms or one bus load, and
the schools put as many bodies in the bus as possible. He said the staff consists
of two naturalists and 160 housewives who volunteer their time as trail guides for
one day per week.

of the Foundation were in agreement with the proposal in the letter. Dr. Trezona �
said at the last meeting of the committee, he was authorized to write the statement. ;
Councilman Breider asked if the Foundation had any funds in its treasury. �r. i
Trezona said there was approximately $200 in the fund. �
Councilman Breider questioned Dr. Trezona asking if the Foundation had given
any thought to the Islands of Peace Project and their attempt to gain funding.
He said the funding would be requested from the same people, he asked if this was
a logical plan. Dr. Trezona said the paths of the two Foundations may cross, but
it could not be determined if there would be competition in this respect.
Councilman Breider asked if the Foundation would like some tentative statement
from the Council on the consideration of the proposal. He questioned if this
would be a great task to obtain the necessary funding. Dr. Trezona said he would
like the Council's consideration on the proposal of setting up a time table for
the consideration of the establishment of a nature center. He said if the group
had some time to work on the funding, and a statement which would provide for the
installation of a nature center if the necessary funds are acquired by the Foundation,
-then it would be possible to obtain the funding. He said again if the money is
obtained in a certain amount of time, he would like some indication from-the Council
that they would make a decision in favor of the Foundation.
Mayor Liebl pointed out that the City had hired a professional for input on the
utilization of North Park, and also an outside consultant and this was done at the
time when the grant was applied for. He said at this time, the City had indicated
they would develop the property with some sort of recreational facility, and this
could be interpreted many ways. He stated the Council would have to be responsible
to its constituents and make a decision which is not based on political pressures.
He stressed the development of the land should be of some benefit to the people of
the City of Fridley and the project was pressed for time. He said at one point,
the Consideration was put in the hands of a committee, which was an attempt to
lessen the political pressures. He said the committee was made up of equal members
from each of the requested proposals. lie said the land could not be left as it
is, because this is not what had been promised the State and Federal Governments
when the funding was applied for. He said he was not referring to monatary benefits
to the people of Fridley, he had taken an oath of office which indicated the majority
of the citizens would rule and he would abide by this.
Mayor Liebl stated he hoped the proposal by the Foundation was not being made for
the purposes of stalling the consideration on the issue. He stressed, the Council
could no longer stall, it must make a decision, and live with the decision. He said
he could not give the Foundation years to try to obtain the necessary committment
for funding. He stated this would not be acceptable.
Dr. Trezona said the Foundation had no intention of stalling. He said it would be
their obligation to find the funding and this would take some time.
Mayor Liebl questioned Dr Trezona on what was to be told the people of Fridley after
the City had set up a committee, hired a consultant to give a report on the utilization
of the land, and this was to point out the direction to go according to the criteria
of the area. He said the decision which was to be made could not possibly please
everyone. Mayor Liebl continued stating he would be ready soon to make a recommendation
to the Council on his suggestion for the utilization. Ne explained, by the City Charter,
he is unable to make a motion. He further stated he would work to p.rovide what is
in the best interest of the people of Fridley.
Dr. Trezona said the citizens have no power ta act on the matter alone; and this
is why the foundation had been set up. He added, they could acquire the funds which
would relieve the citizens, the City, and the tax budget.
Ms. Shelly Gar addressed the Council and said she is a local artist and would like
to speak for artists from all over the state. She pointed out that the North Park
area wauld provide a site for artists to work being it had never been touched. She
continued to state she had been involved with the Fridley Cultural Growth program
and found it difficult to work on as there is no place in Fridley to work. She '
stated she had obtain approval form a well known artist to paint a work which
would be auctioned off with the proceeds from the auction going to the nature center
Foundation. She said not all of the funding would have to be provided immediately
like in the construction of the golf course. She added, this could be a long renge
plan. She stated once the area is bulldozed, it could not be a nature center. !

Dr. Holloway addressed the Council and said the consideration of the decision in
light of the current energy crisis should be discussed. He indicated all of the
current information regarding the energy situation is confusing from the politicians
and also the representatives of the various oil companies. He thought it was true,
the American peop7e could expect an energy shortage which would change our life
styles. He recalled the type of situation and forms of recreation that were limited
to the people during the 1930's and he continued saying the people of Fr'idley would
have to depend on the area open space for recreational activity. Ne said this is
the reason the open space programs are receiving so much sharp attention in the
Metro area. Dr. Hojioway said there is natural antouched beauty in this area
and he would ask the Council. to consider the decision wisely with the educational
values being considered.
Mayor Liebl asked Dr. Holloway if he had looked at the area and had seen the traffic,
noise and industry in the area. Dr. Holloway said he had seen the area and he would
still say this is best suited for a nature center. Dr. Holloway called the Council's
attention to the creation of Central Park in the middle of New York City and said the
people of the City could not live without it. ,
Mayor Liebl asked if Dr. Holloway thought a golf course would be environmentally ,
detremental to the community and Dr. Holloway said initially, it may not be. He
continued with the shortage of fuel, eventually it may not be possible to mow the
lawn. He aTso pointed out that the people of the area are able to take their
chiTdren to the north woods of the State and v9ew natura} settings. He thought
this would also be limited in the future. He said North Park may be invaluable
in the future. �
i
Councilman Breider said there are 32,000 people in Fridley and they are of all �
interest groups. He listed some of the activities that may interest the individual
citizens as water sports, birds, golf, skating, softball, and other activities.
He believed the City should create as diversified a recreational program as
possible for all those in the City. ''"" i
Dr. Holloway again stressed in the future the children may not be able to get out
of the City for natural environmental study. He said the proposed system of
operation would be an economically closed system and this would have a premium
value.
Councilman Breider asked Dr. Holloway if he had seen the other possible nature
center sites in the City of Fridley. Dr. Holloway said the other areas do not
have the diversity of the North Park site. He said North Park is a large square
which c�ives the feeling of being enclosed in something. He said the other areas
are linear and continuous in natural setting.
Councilman Breider mentioned the possibility of establishing a nature enterpretation
program or a compromise with the staffing of a naturalist out of North Park. Dr.
liolioway,said North Park is unique and the features are not present in the other
sites. He_thought Councilman. Breider's suggestion was an optomistic one.
Councilman Breider stressed t�-� are no other sites in the City which would be
suitable to a golf course and there are others which could be used as a nature
center.
Dr. Holloway again pointed out the uniqueness of North Park and its suitability as
a nature center. He said it is a beautiful square and also a beautiful possibility
for the Fridley community.
Couniclman Starwalt said he thought there was a supermarket of nature center �
activity in the area. Dr. Holloway said each of the individual centers is
unique with many different types conditions. He said this area contains a
prairie which is not found in many in many nature centers and with this specific
environment, it is an educational tool.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the North Park area had been cultivated years back.
Dr. Holloway said he could not answer this question, he is an architect, but there
were other� present who would be able to determine this fact. A member of the
audience said some of the area had been cultivated years back.

Councilman Starwalt said he thought the north area abutting Moore Lake could be
used as a floating-bridge interpretation area. He said the techniques studied
by the children at Woodlake Nature Center could also be studied in this area.
He said he was referring to pushing rods into the mud and studying the life in
the marsh area. He added there is a diversity of areas throughout the City
which would lend to the natural environmental studies.
Mr. Ross addressed the Council and said he resided on the east shore of Moore
Lake and the majority of the area has been filled. He recalled the area was
once beautiful and was enjoyed because of the natural setting and the ducks.
He said now the area is.filled and grass had been planted to create a softball
field. He said it is really not a park, it is only a piece of grass.
Councilman Starwalt said there was a need for additional playgrounds in the area.
Mr. Ross asked what had been sacrificed for this installation. He said the
� educational aspects and the natural life of the areas have to be considered.
Mr. Bill Hogan, addressed the Council and said he used the area for many years
and there were many species of animals and vegatation. He added the area is worth
saving for this reason.
Professor Lawrence said there is so much thought yiven to the financing of the
nature center through the tax payers. He said the Carver center was financed through
private subscriptions which were obtdined by a finance committee. He said only ten
subscribers were needed at $25,000 each and the committee received 12. He said the
private subscriptions had taken care of the areas funding for three years, and now
the County had taken over the maintenance of the center.
i Mayor Liebl asked how many acres were in this center. Mr. Goodrich Lowry
j amswered there was about 1,OU0 acres. Mr. Lowry said when he had visited the
' nature centers all over. the country, he was astonished that there are no two
the same. He said some operate on $100,000 a year and some on $5,000. Some
are heavily staffed and some work with only volunteers. He stressed the economics
; �f a nature center cannot be generalized.
Councilman Breider questioned Dr. Trezona and his proposed time tab7e. He pointed
out in the instances of the cr�ation of the nature centers being discussed that
the citizens of those communities were in agreement on the establishment of the
nature centers. He again pointed out that the City of Fridley is split and is
facing a d�lemma on the proposed usage of North Park. He continued saying, iie had
talked to people all over the City and has received mixed reactions, uut it appears
that the majority of the citizens speculate that they favor a golf course. He
said he did not think the Council would be reaching a decision on the matter at
the present meeting and he could not see where they were presently accomplishing
anything which has not been discussed before. .
The Rev. Winston Worden said Carver Nature Center was not preserved early enough
and it took thousands of dollars to bring the land back to the point that the
City of Fridley has in North Park. He stressed North Park does not have to be
brought back. He said those concerned with Carver thought it was a good idea to
bring the land back, but ihe City of fridley has the good forture to have the land
usable now.
Mr. David Harris, 470 Rice Creek Blvd, addressed the Council and said he was a ;
member of the City Council when North Park was acquired. He said he represented the :
Council at the State of Minnesota when they were considering the funding of the i
project. He stated h e was not present to argue 'the relative merits of�the property
and he added, he had enjoyed the presentation made by the people from the Foundation.
He said this type of presentation would make those present cognizant of many things i
which they were not aware of. Mr. Harris listed those present who were interested ;
in the golf course utilization of North Park and said�many people not present were
also interested. He explained that the Chamber of Commerce had offered to do a
study on the utilization of the area as a golf course and had many professionals and
experts who had compiled information supportive to this course of action, and he i
would like the same opportunity to address the Council with those experts.
Dr. Trezona said the Foundation would like some time to come up with such a plan.
He said there is some land south of the North Park area where it would be possible ;
to install a golf caurse. He explained this to be a parcel with very few tree� and ;
not with the same ecological impact as North Park. He said he was not against golf !
courses and would not speak against a golf course. � '

SPECIAL MEETING OF JANUARY 15, 1974
PAGE 8
Councilman Starwalt said he thought the members of the Foundation are sincere
and knowlegeable beyond belief. He said he appreciated the presentation and
thanked all those who had contributed to it.
Mr. Ken Sporre adressed the Coancil and requested the Council give the Foundation
90 days to come up with the funding. He said the Foundation cannot say they have
the money at the present time and they could not get the funding until they had
a firm plan on what was to be done.
Mr. John Meyer said the cost of the construction of the golf course would concern
him, this could be adverse. He said to say that a nature center would be a tax
burden, this would be an overstatement. He said the nature center could .become
a joint project with all the School Districts participating. He said the formula
could be established as a per child situation to furnish a naturalist. He said
this would have to be done under a specific formula.
Mayor Liebl referred to the 1974 budget and said the City had pTaced one half a
million dollars in the parks and recreation budget. He said this would provide
facilities for people in all parts of the City plus an excellent staff and much
equipment. Mayor Liebl further explained some people say not enough is spent
and some say too much is spent, but the Counci7 had to know where and when to
stop. He recalled at the meeting of the Council the previous evening, there was
a problem caused for a property owner by a toddier park installation. He said
whatever the City does, there is a price tag on it. He said the Council niust
be frugal and responsible to the people. He said if the people_do not like the
way the members of the Council say yes and no, they would be able to do something
every three years at election time.
Councilman Utter explained in the last two years the CIty had acquired a great
deaT of park. He pointed out that just recently they had acqaired a park in the
East River Road area and this had made the people of that area very happy. He
explained he has received calls of thanks from children.
Dr. Trezona said he would like the Council to consider the request of the Foundation
and allow thein one to two months time. He said he would not want to think it was
the tax load that had defeated the installation of the nature center. He thanked
those who had attended the meeting.
Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre addressed the Council and said she would like the members
of the Council to take advantage of the knowledgeable people at the meeting. She
continued, they are very technical and qualified to answer all the questions in the
Brauer Report. She repeated they can amply answer all of the Council's questions.
Mrs. Sporre asked the Council to take the time to review the matter with those of
the Foundation to get a better feeling of what had been done at the present meeting.
She said she realized there was no Santa Claus, but these people had done something
that had not been done to this point. She said the foundation could get the answers
and had the leadership to get the job done.
Mayor Liebl thanked those present for attending the meeting and said they would
hear from him and the Council.
The meeting concluded at 10:50 p.m.
