Natural Resources and Recreation Commission Minutes
December 13, 2005
6:00 pm
09)
1)
Roll Call at 6 pm: Commissioners Christenson, Brown, Popp, Rohloff, Vandehoef and Vaughan, Parks and
Recreation Director Bernstein and Superintendent Smith.
2)
3)
Approved November meeting minutes. Motion by Vaughan. Seconded by Brown. Passed unanimously.
Director Bernstein handed out departmental updates to the NRRC members for their review. Also
included with the updates was a history of the ice rink flooding since 1980.
4)
5)
The NRRC meeting schedule for 2006 was passed out and set.
2006 NRRC Goals: Director Bernstein asked the NRRC if a few goals should be set for next year forthe
Commission to work on. This would make sure that the NRRC and the Parks & Recreation Department
are on the same page and are working together. Commissioner Christenson recommended that each
commissioner come up with 3-4 goals over the next month which will be reviewed at the January meeting.
6)
Fountain Meadows Development: Director Bernstein explained that this development will be at the site of
the old KDW A tower. The NRRC was asked if the Parks & Recreation Department should request land or
cash dedication for the townhome development. Sunny Acres Park, Tuttle Park and Cari Park are all in the
area and there is also a nice bike trail that connects the area. Commissioners Christenson, Vaughan and
Vandehoef all reco~ended taking the cash dedication.
MOTION: Commissioner Vaughan motioned to receive cash dedication in lieu ofland for the Fountain
Meadows Development. Seconded by Commissioner Popp. Approved unanimously.
7)
Veimillion Park Well Drilling / Well House Building: Director Bernstein told the NRRC that well drilling
has been approved to take place in the southeast comer of Vermillion Falls Park and that the drilling is to
commence shortly. There will be a well house on the site that will be similar to the one that is currently
located on the north side of the tennis courts. Plans for the well house will be brought before the NRRC
for approval in the future. Director Bernstein also mentioned that there are plans for the park shelter to be
re-roofed next spring as well.
8)
Summer Softball: Gooff Maltby has run the summer softball program as an independent for about 10 years
now. He approached the Parks & Recreation Department after last season and expressed interest in having
the City run the program in the future. This would give the Parks & Recreation Department complete
administration of the program and would give us greater control of our park facilities. Director Bernstein
explained that the league fees would remain similar to the fees charged in previous years. The current
Joint Powers Agreement states that $26 from each player is paid to Community Education, but the City
should still make a small profit by running the program. The maintenance costs are covered by the City
regardless of whether or not we run the program. Commissioner Rohloff stated that running the summer
program would rcally be it boo~llo lhe fall so,ttbalI program. The NRRC expressed coneem over the
payment that is to be made to Community Education, since the program will be run completely by the City.
Director Bernstein said that he was planning to meet with the Community Education Director and the City
Administrator to discuss the agreement.
MOTION: Commissioner Vaughan motioned that the City assume the administration of the summer adult
slow pitch softball program. Commissioner Vandehoef seconded the motion. Passed unanimously.
Greten Park Equipment Update: Director Bernstein received an estimate back from Miracle Recreation
Equipment regarding the possibility of adding more equipment to Greten Park The plan includes a small
tot lot and 2 tot swings. The cost of the additional equipment is about $12,000 including installation. The
Parks & Recreation Department could probably do the instidlation and this would save about $1,750.
Commissioner Brown asked what other 2006 expenses have we already committed to that this project
would compete with? Director Bernstein hasn't gotten the final 2006 budget back at this point and will
know more in January. The NRRC decided to table this issue until the January meeting when the fmal
budget has been approved. Director Bernstein will give a report at that meeting on what was initially
recommended and what was actually approved in the budget.
10) Lions Park Water Main: Director Bernstein informed the NRRC that the east side of Lions Park will be /
dug up this summer to install a new water main. This will affect some activities this summer, such as
soccer and possibly lacrosse. Superintendent Smith said that we aren't sure how long the construction will
take. The question was raised whether we had ever heard back from Hope Lutheran Church about the
parking lot they wanted to construct. At this time, we have not and are still waiting for them to contact us
when they would like to proceed.
11) New Business
Commissioner Christenson asked about the maintenance of the cross country ski trail this winter.
Superintendent Smith explained that we currently have a contract with Dakota County to groom the
trails for us. They will come on an as needed basis when we contact them. We are charged per time
and will limit calling them out to 5-6 times per season.
Commissioner Christenson mentioned that the East Hastings Improvement Association is starting
preparations for the annual 4th of July Celebration. They are looking for any volunteers that would
like to get involved. Director Bernstein requested that his name be added to the meeting contact list.
The Holiday Train was a good success again this year! The City had a good presence at the event -
the fire department put out a generator with spotlights, members of City Council were there, and
there was also a good police presence. The food shelf donations filled 2 truck loads.
11) Old Business
Skate Park Task Force & Pool Business Plan Meetings: Commissioner Vandehoef reported that the
Skate Park Task Force meetings have been gomg well. There has been a lot of good dialogue. There
is also good representation from the City Council, NRRC, City Staff and City Residents.
Commissioner Vandehoefbelieves that no matter what recommendations the Task Force comes up
with, it will be a hard sell to City Council. The next meeting is scheduled for Dec. 20th. )
Commissioner Rohloff reported that the 1 st meeting for the Pool Business Plan went well with lots of
energy. The 2nd meeting had decidedly less energy and so it is being considered by Director
Bernstein to hold future meetings with only Parks & Recreation Staff and then bring
recommendations before City Council. Commissioner Christenson asked what the goals of the
meetings are. Director Bernstein explained that we are just trying to determine if the pool is
operating in the best possible way in all of its facets and see if there are any areas where we could
improve our business practices.
Lake Isabel Update: Three engineering firms were interviewed to see about possible improvements
to T .ake Isabel. Barr Engineering is the firm that will be recommend~.d by staff. . Barr Engineering
will show us a proposal of what can be done in the next five years and how much it will cost.
Director Bernstein also mentioned that he is applying for a grant from the DNR for a boat launch at
Lake Isabel.
Sand Coulee Update: Superintendent Smith reported that the Friends of the Mississippi have sub-
contracted with a contractor to remove invasive species (primarily buckthorn) from the Sand Coulee.
The $15,000 grant we received in 2005 will cover the expense.
Memorial Tree Program: Plaques are currently displayed in the Volunteer Room at City Hall.
Director Bernstein is planning to bring up the issue with City leadership to see if the plaques could be
moved to the Parks & Recreation building or to a more visible spot within City Hall. Commissioner
Christenson mentioned that if the plaques were more prominently displayed, it might increase the
number of memorial donations.

MEMO
Date: 1/4/06
To:
NRRC Commission Members
From:
Barry Bernstein, Parks and Recreation Director
Subject:
Hastings Family Aquatic Center
Backt!round Information:
I have enclosed a memo from Darbie Johnson, Aquatic Center Manager,
outlining plans for the upcoming outdoor pool season.
Opening and Closing Dates:
Upon your review of this information, you will notice that the Hastings Family
Aquatic Center has opened or attempted to open on Memorial Day weekend in
previous years. You will see there has been many weather related obstacles in
our attempt to open on Memorial Day weekend. In addition, after the
Memorial Day weekend, the aquatic facility would close down again until the
first week in June. It is my recommendation to not open on Memorial Day
weekend and open the 2006 season on the first weekend in June. I believe the
attendance supports this decision and we will be able to operate more
efficiently and effectively.
Action:
1. Recommend approval for the proposed opening/closing dates
2. Recommend approval of the proposed fee structure

Below are several proposals for the 2006 season at the Hastings Family Aquatic Center. Please
consider these proposals and let me know if you have any questions.
Dates and Hours of Ooeration
For the past 7 summers we have opened on Memorial Day weekend and for 2 of the 7 summers
we remained open until Labor Day weekeUd. WIth the early return of college students to
school and several Fall athletic practice schedules. it had become impossible to schedule
enough staff to remain open past the last weekend of August. It is the proposal of the staff for
. the 2006 season to have a later opening date in the summer. Below is a chart of the dates we
actually opened and the weather and attendlfnce figures for the past 7 summers. It takes
approximately one full week to :fill the pool and heat the water to a tolerable level for training
and approximately one full week of training for the pool staff to complete in water drills. In
the past this foroed staff to begin preparing the pool in mid May so we would have tUne to fill
the pool and 1lain the staff. We would open for the 3 day holiday weekend and then ~t closed
for one, and in some years, two weeks because school was still in session, only opening on
weekends. In an effort to save money on heating and chemically balancing the 400,000
gallons ofwater for up to 2 weeks without use, we are proposing an opening date of June 3,
2006 and closing August 27, 2006.

Punch Card
This wouldbe a new service addedto the Hastings Family Aquatic Center. We have bad
several requests from patrons regarding a family season pass and or punch card. In my
research of other facilities I have found that aquatic centers offer a season pass OR a punch
card, NOT BOTIi I am nQt sure ifwe want to try offering both for one year or ifwe should
decide on one form. The benefit of a punch card is that familieS can use the punches as they
want; via friends, other family members, etc... with a season pass, o1tIy the person indicated on
the pass can use it Below is the proposed fee structure for the punch card. Cards are good for
one sc;:ason.
Punch cards wotJld have a total of 10 admissions.
Buy 1 Card = $50.00
Buy 2 Cards = $4O.00/each = total of $80.00 = savings of$1.7S each admission.
Buy 3 Cards = $30,(lOleach = total of $90.00 =< savings of $2.75 each admission.
auy 4 Cards = $25.(lO/each = tota1 of$lOO.OO = savings of$:f;25 each admission.
SwiDlmln~ LesllUllll
Due to the low enrollment of Saturday morning lessons both by participants and instructors.
staff would like to propose the elimination of Satmday lessons and the addition of evening
lessons. Evening lessons would run Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30.-7 PM This
traditionally is our sfowest open swim time. On these days open swim would run from 12
Noon - 5 PM, lessons from 5:30-7 PM, and lap swim andIorW8ter aerobiC$ from 7.08 PM
Swim lesson rates would remain th~ same as last year. S33.00 for the parent child class and
$36.00 for levels 1-6. ",
Thank you for reviewing the above proposals. Please let me lmow if you have any questions or
comments. You can reach me at 651-480-6179 or via emai1 atdiohnsOn@ciJlasrin~.mn.us
