Memo from John Valliere Regarding the 2010 MGA State Junior Championship. 4. YEA Corp Petition/Proposal. The following is the monthly Staff Report concerning each item on the agenda with the exception of Approval of the Minutes, Public Comment and Park Board Comment. PARK BOARD MEETING IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS EDINA CITY HALL 4801 WEST 50TH STREET The Tuesday, April 14, 2009, Park Board meeting will be at 7:00 p.m. in the City Council Chambers at Edina City Hall. If you are unable to attend, please call either Office Coordinator, Janet Canton, at 952-826-0435 or me at 952-826-0430. II. NEW BUSINESS: A. *Election of Officers In March or April of each year, the Park Board self -elects a Chairman and Vice Chairman. I will request nominations from the Park Board for Chairman. If there is more than one nomination, Janet Canton will pass around paper ballots for Park Board members to vote for their choice of Chairperson. The same process will then be used to elect a Vice Chairman. In the case of a tie, nominations for that position will reopen and the process will start over until a Chairman and Vice Chairman are chosen. The main duties of the Chairman are: 1. To work with staff in establishing an agenda prior to each meeting. 2. Chair the process of each Park Board meeting. (In other words, the Chairman provides leadership that keeps Park Board meetings orderly, democratic and encourages input from all Park Board members and guests). 3. Serve as spokesperson for the Park Board at City Council meetings and other public functions. 4. Assign Park Board related duties to Park Board members. • For the first time in history, the Park Board Chairman sat in on interviews with two Council members to interview applicants who were interested in serving on the Park Board. This may become an annual duty of future Chairmen. The Vice Chairman is to carry out the duties of the Chairman in the absence of the Park Board Chairman. Park Board action is requested on this agenda item. B. *2010 MGA State Junior Championship at Braemar Golf Course. The enclosed memo and attachments from John Valliere are a formal request for Park Board to approve the request to host the MGA State Junior Championship Golf Event in 2010. The request is to waive green fees for the event. John Valliere will be present to make a presentation and answer questions. Staff recommends that the Park Board approve the request for Braemar Golf Course to host the 2010 MGA State Junior Championship golf event and waive green fees. Formal Park Board action is requested on this agenda item. C. *YEA Corp Proposal/Petition for Chowen Park Community Garden/Youth Project. Included in this packet is a copy of a "Petition for Chowen Park Community Garden/Youth Project" with 22 signatures. The petition requests that a small plot of land (approximately 12' by 16') at Chowen Park be used to allow this organization to create a summer organic garden. As Mary Helen Franze, Executive Director of YEA Corps, explained in her cover letter, YEA Corps (Young Enterprising Agents) offers youth ages 13 to 18 entrepreneurial real hands-on experiences in financial literacy and entrepreneurial ventures, such as this one. When I was first approached by Ms. Franze, I suggested that she first get a petition signed by those who live closest to the park and then I would gladly place the matter on the Park Board for consideration. In my view, the next step should be to send notices to neighbors around the park and invite them to attend the May 10, 2009, Park Board meeting to give them an opportunity to express their views. Therefore, I recommend that the Park Board send notices to all resident households within 500 feet of Chowen Park, which comes out to 109 households. If the Park Board would prefer, we could increase the area to all households within 1,000 feet of the park which comes out to 333 households. Formal Park Board action is requested on this agenda item. 2 III. OLD BUSINESS: A. Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail Update — Jonathan Vlamin2, Three Rivers Park District. Three Rivers Park District conducted Open House meetings at Edina City Hall on Wednesday, February 11, 2009, and Monday, March 9, 2009, to gather community input on the proposed alignments for the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail. Planning Manager for Three Rivers Park District, Jonathan Vlaming, will be giving the Park Board a power point presentation on the results of those Open Houses, the process used to date, and the upcoming steps in the process. Mr. Vlaming will explain the upcoming environmental study that is soon to be conducted and also outline the next steps for the Action Team and community input process. No formal Park Board action is requested on this agenda item. IV. PUBLIC COMMENTS During "Public Comments, " the Chair will ask to hear from those in attendance who would like to speak about something not on the agenda. Individuals must limit their presentations to three minutes or less and cannot speak to an issue for which a public hearing was previously held and closed or a matter scheduled for a future hearing. Individuals should not expect the Park Board to respond to their comments. Instead, the Park Board might direct the matter to staff for consideration at a future meeting. V.

PARK BOARD COMMENTS This is the opportunity for Park Board members to provide comments on park and recreation related matters not on the regular agenda. 3 Minutes of the Edina Park Board March 10, 2009 Edina City Hall, Council Chambers MEMBERS PRESENT: Joseph Hulbert, Jeff Sorem, Ray O'Connell, Todd Fronek, Rob Presthus, Ben Pobuda, Randy Meyer, Jennifer Kenney, Bill Lough, Keeya Steel MEMBERS ABSENT: Dan Peterson STAFF PRESENT: John Keprios, Janet Canton, Ed MacHolda I. NEW BUSINESS A. Welcome New Park Board Members — Mr. Fronek welcomed the new Park Board members: Jen Kenney, Bill Lough and Keeya Steel. Each new Park Board member introduced themselves and gave a little background. Mr. Fronek indicated that these new members are replacing Mike Damman, George Klus and Howard Merriam and added that he would like to acknowledge and thank them for their service to the Park Board. B. Park Board Member Orientation Presentation - Mr. Keprios gave a power point orientation presentation to the Park Board members. • Mr. Keprios informed the Park Board that he was asked by the City Council to go over the new attendance requirements as set by the City Council. Mr. Keprios explained that for attendance purposes meetings are defined as regular monthly board or commission meetings, special meetings called by the board or commission including project meetings, public open houses and public hearings as well as joint meetings with the City Council. Mr. Keprios pointed out that the Park Board will be having a joint meeting with the City Council on April 7th at 5:30 pm. He stated that commissioners and board members must attend at least 75% of all of the meetings that take place in a calendar year. Also, you cannot fail to attend three consecutive meetings whether they are regular or special. Mr. Keprios noted that this does not apply to attendance at meetings of the committees or sub -committees established by the board or commission or subcommittee is less than the quorum of the board or commission. Mr. Keprios pointed out that the only exception is the provisions related to attendance of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of Edina, the Edina Community Foundation, the East Housing Foundation or the City Council. C. Election of Officers — Mr. Keprios suggested that because there are three new Park Board members the Park Board may want to make a motion to hold off on the election of officers until the next Park Board meeting. Randy Meyer MOVED to accept staff's recommendation; Ray O'Connell SECONDED. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. • D. Revisions to Relationship Document — Mr. Keprios went over a section of the Youth Athletic Associations Relationship Document pertaining to the mandatory background checks. He pointed out that under the current policy if any applicant (to be a volunteer coach) has committed any of the crimes that are listed, they may never volunteer in Edina. Mr. Keprios explained that the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) recommends a time limit on certain lesser crimes, such as misdemeanors (7 years) and alcohol related crimes (5 years). Mr. Keprios indicated that at the December 2008 athletic association presidents meeting there was a consensus to adopt the NRPA recommendations for criteria for exclusion when doing the mandatory background checks. Mr. Keprios stated that he would ask that the qualifications for exemptions be replaced with the NRPA recommendation. Mr. O'Connell asked Mr. Keprios if he is aware of any violations that have occurred. Mr. Keprios replied that he is aware of one and within enough time lapsed that person would be able to serve now. He noted that it's not a big problem in Edina but he thinks it would be wise consider the NRPA's recommendation because it is likely based on national research and experience. Mr. Meyer asked Mr. Keprios if he has visited with the school district regarding this issue because he knows they are currently going over this process as well in trying to decide what the standard policy is. He stated that they've been working on updating it and commented that there may be some opportunities here for some consistencies. Mr. Keprios replied that he has not but if this is something the Park Board would like him to do he certainly can and delay the issue to another Park Board meeting. Mr. Meyer responded that he doesn't have a strong feeling about it but if the processes are consistent then people won't be confused as to why and how the background checks are done. Mr. Keprios noted that there is no urgency to this and that he would be more than happy to compare with what the school district policy is. Mr. Fronek entertained a motion to either pass the recommendation or table it in order to perhaps provide something consistent with the school district. Mr. O'Connell MOVED TO PUT INTO EFFECT APPROVE STAFF RECOMMENDATION. Todd Fronek SECONDED THE MOTION. Mr. Fronek stated that Mr. Meyer brings up a good point but he thinks it's important to follow the NRPA's recommendation in this matter because they have a lot of experience. In addition, the athletic association presidents also passed the recommendation and therefore he doesn't see why they should hold it up or recommend something different. Mr. Hulbert stated that it makes sense to him to have some consistency since the school district has some similar issues with sports programs. He noted that he would like to see it delayed to a future meeting. Mr. Presthus indicated that he is fine with the NRPA's recommendation. Mr. Meyer explained that he doesn't have any problems with how it is written. He is just trying to think if there is a way they could streamline this or have consistency so that people understand the process. He noted that often coaches and participants both 2 participate at the school level as well as with the Park and Recreation Department. Mr. Meyer also pointed out that maybe there are efficiencies in having the same group do the background searches versus having two groups or find other ways to make it more efficient for both parties. Ms. Kenney noted that she agrees with Mr. Meyer that there is a potential overlap of having the same person coach in both the school setting and park and recreation setting. Therefore, if it could somehow be streamlined for consistency then the potential for confusion could possibly be avoided. Mr. Lough indicated that he likes the idea of consistency and efficiency and therefore is inclined to agree with Mr. Meyer. Ms. Steel stated that she agrees they should adopt the recommendations from the NRPA. She also commented they should have a conversation moving forward with the schools. Mr. Sorem indicated that since there is no sense of urgency he thinks it's a good idea if Mr. Keprios talks to the school and then bring it back to a future Park Board meeting. Mr. Pobuda stated that if there's no urgency he doesn't see why they need to make a recommendation at this meeting. • MR. O'CONNELL STATED THAT AS THE LEADER OF THE MOTION AND HEARING THE CONVERSATION HE WOULD LIKE TO AMEND THE CURRENT MOTION TO DELAY THE DECISION UNTIL THEY ARE PRESENTED WITH FURTHER INFORMATION FROM MR. KEPRIOS AS TO WHAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS DOING. Mr. Fronek SECONDED THE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. E. 4th of July Fireworks Vendor Selection Committee - Mr. Fronek asked if anyone would like to volunteer to serve on the Fireworks Vender Selection Committee. Ray O'Connell, Ben Pobuda and Jen Kenney volunteered to be on the committee. F. Park Board/City Council Work Session — Mr. Keprios informed the Park Board that there will be a Park Board/City Council work session scheduled for Tuesday, April 7th at 5:30 pm at City Hall. He asked if anyone had any input or special agenda items they would like to discuss with the City Council. He noted the one thing he would suggest is to talk about the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail and share some views on where both groups are headed. Mr. Meyer suggested tying that into the Bike Task Force and look at the overall vision for transportation around the city and how trails will tie into the parks. In addition he has started thinking about some long term projects with some of the other upgrades that are happening. Mr. Keprios responded that they just had their work session with the Bike Edina Task Force to which they covered that very subject. Mr. Keprios asked the members to e-mail anything else they can think of. He noted that he would rather come up with some talking points rather than just one issue. 3 Mr. Meyer commented that one issue might be that the School Board is looking at more synthetic athletic fields and they could discuss what the city's needs are in that regard. II. OLD BUSINESS A. Park Board Member Park Assignments — Mr. Fronek pointed out that Jeff Johnson is still listed on the assignment sheet and that it should be changed to Randy Meyer. III. UPDATES FROM STAFF A. Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail — Mr. Keprios informed the Park Board there recently was an open house for the Nine Mike Creek Regional Trail on March 9th at which 253 people were in attendance. He noted that they received a lot of feedback and great input from the community. Mr. Keprios explained that before the Three Rivers Park District and the Action Team refine more alignments they are going to ask each neighborhood to nominate a resident neighbor to serve on the Action Team to help identify which is the best alternative alignment in each trail segment. He pointed out that they want the people to have an opportunity to share their views and recommendations on what is the best alignment for this trail. Mr. Keprios indicated that ultimately it's going to come to the Park Board for to discuss and make a recommendation to the City Council. He added that they still have a long way to go. Mr. Meyer asked Mr. Keprios if at the next Park Board meeting he could give a ten minute overview of what is they are looking at and what the concerns are. Mr. Keprios replied that he will have Jonathan Vlaming, Planning Manager for Three Rivers Park District give a very detailed presentation at next month meeting. His presentation will be for informational purposes only and there will not be any formal action requested of the Park Board at that meeting. Therefore, there will not be any public testimony sought on that agenda item next month. He added that he will also continue to send the Park Board all of the e-mails and letters he receives from the community. Mr. Lough asked if all of the controversy involves parkland. Mr. Keprios explained that the land they are currently proposing to put the trail on is either owned by the city or it goes out on to the streets where the City has boulevard easements. He noted that none of the proposed alignments call for acquiring private property; however, some easements will need to be needed. Mr. O'Connell asked about the proposed walking trail and bike friendly overpass at the Crosstown between Gleason and the high school property. Mr. Keprios replied that is part of the plan to build a stand alone walking and biking bridge to safely get over the Crosstown Highway 62 at an area that would create a connection between the south end of Bredesen Park and the northwest section of the School District's High School/Creek Valley Elementary School campus property. 4 B. Approval of the December 9, 2008 Park Board Minutes — Joseph Hulbert MOVED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES FROM THE LAST MEETING IN DECEMBER. Randy Meyer SECONDED THE MOTION. MINUTES APPROVED. C. Pamela Park Task Force — Mr. Keprios explained to the Park Board that a task force was put together which included residents as well as representatives from the athletic associations. He noted that Ms. Tilsner, Mr. MacHolda and himself met with this task force to help establish an updated master plan for Pamela Park. Mr. Keprios commented that the first meeting they had there was some wonderful input from the residents and the athletic associations. Het noted that their next meeting will be in April. He pointed out that the mission is to hopefully get a consensus from the task force so that they will be ready to go out to the greater community to seek their input and invite them to a Park Board meeting. He stated that they have a great task force and it seems to be working very well. D. Pamela Park Playground Equipment — Mr. MacHolda informed the Park Board that this year Pamela Park will have their playground equipment replaced. He indicated they used the same process where two neighbors represent the greater neighborhood. He noted that after multiple meetings they decided on a plan with "Little Tykes," which was the low bidder at $150,000. Mr. MacHolda commented that the new equipment should be installed by the end of June. He noted that it will be the same type of equipment that is currently at McGuire Park. • E. Annual Board and Commission Meeting - Mr. Keprios asked the Park Board to be sure to contact Susan Heiberg as to whether or not they will be attending the annual board and commission meeting on March 16`" at 5:00 pm at Braemar. IV. PARK BOARD COMMENTS A. Outdoor Hockey Season - Mr. Sorem stated that he would like to send kudos to Mr. Cockriel and his staff again for a wonderful outdoor park hockey season. He indicated that these guys are known around the state as having the best outdoor ice and it's much appreciated. Mr. Sorem commented that most cities threw in the towel during the warm spell but that Edina kept going and were able to stay open another two weeks. He also noted that it seemed to him like the rinks were more crowded than usual. Meeting adjourned at 8:10 pm. Memo To: John Keprios From: John Valliere CC: Tom Swenson Todd Anderson Date: 3/17/2009 Re: Request for Park Board approval for MGA state Junior Championship ---gratis in 2010 John, Please see the enclosed request for use of our regulation course for the state MGA junior championship. The courses in Minnesota each take their turn in hosting state golf association championships. This is an honor and brings recognition to our course. Our practice is to host one event each year that is of state wide significance. This year we will host the Minnesota Women's Public Golf Association —Public Links Championship on July 11 & 12tH We normally do not bother you or the Park Board with these events unless they impact revenue. For example, the women's event above is a weekend event and green fees will be paid. This junior event request is during the week and is a request to waive green fees. We have a history of always accommodating these Championships without charge. This does not occur more often than one in four years. I recommend to the Park Board that we approve this green fee waiver and welcome the fine junior players of our state to Braemar. Braemar boys and girls have both won their respective divisions in past years.

We are empowering youth to implement their ideas through community connections for job preparation. We offer youth an entrepreneurial experience through projects they conceive and image providing framework, material, and training to execute youth -generated enterprises. We integrate our model into existing youth programs, schools, church youth groups, sports teams, and neighborhoods. We are concerned with the lack of balance in structure and unstructured time allocation in their lives. Youth have little voice, less time for creative, independent and critical thinking, and reduced face —to -face interaction and social connections. Additionally, there is an absence of real-world, hands on, experiences in financial literacy and entrepreneurial ventures available for youth in this age group. The learning from our projects aim to create a generation of responsible, environmentally conscious individuals that are good decision makers, engaged and prepared to contribute positively to their future and society as a whole. Currently, YEA Corps is focused on Green Projects. Our vision is to strengthen youth holistically while preparing them to be independent self-respecting adults capable of solving issues specific to their generation. We facilitate learning that inspires youth to imagine ideas for positive impact in their own lives, and their communities, while becoming fiscally responsible, empathic citizens. Many of the youth will discover a wonderful career path for themselves during this process as well as connect to job opportunities. Often the projects are executed through community service, learning while giving back. We teach all youth stakeholders', through example, new ways to help youth learn, grow, and achieve their individual potential. Outcomes Youth Gain From YEA Corps Projects Confidence in idea -generation and independent thinking Tangible, real-world experiences that builds entrepreneurial skills Improved financial literacy: creating business and marketing plans, budgeting, pricing, taxation Encouragement to execute their ideas, allowing for and learning from mistakes Opportunities to unlock their voice and leadership Enhanced social responsibility and citizenship through community service Preparation, training, and networking for jobs Engagement in community building and preparing youth to be assets in the local economy www.yeacorps.org Petition for Chowen Park Community GardenNouth Project We are a group of Edina 8th graders partnering with a local nonprofit, YEA Corps on a summer organic garden project.
