Park & Recreation Commission April 28, 2010 Page 2 E. Request of the full $500 down pUnent refund for a canceled event on Sunday, Ju ne 6 2010 due to conflicts from the church Windschitl indicated that he verified with the church that the date was changed. The family's tradition is to have the family party on the same day as the church baptism. He feels this is a legitimate situation. Evans asked if the family rescheduled. Windschitl replied that they would have if the new church date was available at JPM, but the date is unavailable. Payne asked what the likelihood of the date being re- rented was. Windschitl replied that with it being a Sunday and just over one month away he feels the chances are small. Hoium asked if another possible renter had been turned away for this date. Windschitl replied that lie doubted that was the situation because there are other Sundays still available in June. He stated the policy is to refund a down payment if the date is rented by some one else or if the renter reschedules to another date and that is why this request is being made. Payne stated that this date change is not the renters fault. Evans stated this would set a precedence if the refund is made. Windschitl indicated this situation was out of the renters control, they would have rescheduled if the date was open. He feels this is not setting a precedence even though it is an exception to the regular policy. Motion by Hoium, second by McDonald, to refund the $500 down payment for June 6, 2010. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried. F. Request tiom tine Lotumnra rtei nts rate on Friday June 18` 5-10 p.m. and Sunday June 20 1 ". 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Windschitl stated that this is a great cause, but because this is a Friday and Sunday request with another rental on Saturday there will need to be two turn arounds for the cleanup and to reset for the next event. Stroik asked if there was a possibility of changing the schedule. Saefke indicated this would be an opening and closing ceremony for the State event hosted by Columbia Heights. McDonald asked if the group would be getting a resident discount. Windschitl replied that this is part of the C.1-I. Fire Deparhnent youth programs with volunteers and the request is to charge them a minimal fee or not. McDonald suggested charging the $50/$20 fee for each day. Windschitl indicated that staff would work with the group regarding setting up and cleaning for each event. Motion by McDonald, second by Payne, to charge the $50 entry fee and $20 per hour of use for Friday and Sunday. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried. OLD BUSINESS A. Trail connection between Silver Lake Park and Silverwood Park Hansen updated the Commission on the agreement between the Three Rivers Park District and the City of Columbia Heights. A trail will be constructed connecting existing trails in each park. The City of Columbia Heights will build the trail and The Three Rivers Park District is putting in a new gate and new fencing along Stinson for the connection. Stroik asked if this will be a bike able path. Hansen replied yes it will be Park & Recreation Commission April 28, 2010 Page 3 eight feet wide paved with shoulders on each side. Construction will most likely occur July through September. B. Sullivan Lake Park trail update Hansen indicated that he has an upcoming meeting with the City Tree Contractor, City Forester and with representatives from Sullivan Shores, if they choose to attend, regarding clearing and trimming around the trail. The area that would be reviewed and trimmed and cleaned up is from the northeast corner of the lake down to the Washington Sheet trail access. NEW BUSINESS A. Tobacco -Free Park Policy Resident, Grace Lee, would like to see a written policy regarding tobacco use within City Parks. Lee mentioned neighboring cities that have tobacco -free park policies. She would feel more comfortable when asking someone not to smoke around the playground if there was a sign to refer to. Lee would like to see, at a minimum, a policy and signage for no smoking near the playground structures. Hansen replied from the perspective of cleanliness it is a good idea, but the enforceability would fall on some of the other users of the park system. Signs could be put up if the Commission would want to move forward with a policy. The terms would need to be decided as to where the smoke -free areas would apply. Windschitl shared the current policy which indicates smoking or the use of tobacco is not allowed at any park buildings, on athletic fields or in player bench areas during City sponsored athletic programs. I-Ie indicated this is an old park policy. Windschitl understands Lee's concerns and would like to include areas like the wading pools or any where there is a popular area for kids. He also spoke with the Recreation Director from Blaine regarding their modified tobacco free policy. That particular policy allows tobacco use in the parking lots and trail areas. He also pointed out that the City of Blaine employs Park Rangers to enforce these policies, which is not something that can not happen in Columbia Heights. Hoium replied that a decision by the Conurrission is not enforceable. Hansen replied that the only enforceable policies are done trough an Ordinance by City Council. Lee responded that by even having signage regarding a tobacco free area empowers citizens to ask some one not to smoke in the area near children. Stroik indicated that with signs it may deter people from using tobacco in the parks. Evans replied that even though there are signs regarding no alcohol use in the parks she picks up bottles or cans often. Windschitl responded that permits are given out to park rentals for alcohol use. Hoium indicated that most smokers do not have problems with restrictions. Evans asked what kind of cost would be involved by placing a sign in each park. Hansen replied custom signs typically cost twenty -five to thirty -five dollars each. He wouldn't use the cost of the signs as a final decision but to look at this request as if it is useful or appropriate at the parks and would benefit the citizens. He advises considering what Park & Recreation Commission April 28, 2010 Page 4 areas of the parks that this policy would include like the playgrounds, wading pools, shelters, buildings and if certain parks would be excluded. Windschitl indicated there is a possibility of getting free signs from the Tobacco Free Coalition. He suggests putting into the policy the areas that are designated as tobacco free areas; children play areas, swimming pools and or shelters. Evans asked for the current park policy to be updated and brought back to a future meeting. B. 2010 Jamboree Fireworks Windschitl reported fireworks proposals were requested from several companies and only one company returned the proposal in the allotted time. The company name has changed to Pyrotechnic Display Inc., but is the same company that has done the firework show for the past few years. Windschitl indicated the bid is for $6000; the City contributes $3000 with the remaining $3000 received through donations. Motion by Stroik, second by McDonald, to award the bid for the 2010 Jamboree Fireworks to Pyrotechnic Display Inc. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion Carried. REPORTS A. Recreation Director Windschitl reported that he is only available to stay for the annual park cleanup for a limited time because he needs to pick up baseball uniforms tonight to hand out for a team tomorrow. B. Public Works Director /City En iig leer Hansen reported the seasonal staff has started. Grass is getting cut this week. Evans asked for an update on the pedestrian bridge. Hansen replied that the old bridge is no longer there. There is a crossing guard at the beginning and end of the school day. There are more children crossing at the end of the day. The progress is moving along. Steps are being evaluated to adding in as part of the contract. The switchback is going to be long and the steps were not in the original contract. It would be a shorter alternative to access the bridge. Hansen indicated that the project was started late due to funding clearance problems. The original completion date was September 3 and it has been pushed back by four weeks. Stroik asked who will own the bridge. Hansen replied that MNDot will own the bridge and the City will maintain a good portion of it; for example lighting and aesthetic treatments and will also be responsible for snow removal. The MTV trackless will be used snow removal on the bridge to get away from hand shoveling. Hoium asked if a City employee is at the site every day. Hansen indicated that he has been to the site every day since the proj ect started but only for an hour or two. He stated the City has hired a consulting engineer to manage the project; Kimley -Horn & Associates. This company Park & Recreation Commission April 28, 2010 Page 5 has some one on site every day the contractor is working to provide site inspection. Hansen indicated when the details are being chosen for the bridge colors, stones, etc. the idea is to match the natural look of the Huset roundabout. C. Cormnission Members Mayor Peterson indicated that the newest business on Central Avenue, Jinuny John's, opened today. Evans asked if the phone call system informing residents of hydrant flushing is new. Hansen replied that it was done last year. Saefke reported the Recreation Coordinator, Liz Bray, applied for a grant from the MN Twins for free tickets to a game. The Recreation Department was awarded 100 tickets to the game on Wednesday, May 26 The tickets will be sold on a first come first serve basis to families in Columbia Heights for five dollars a piece. The goal is to have this as a family night for the community. Windschid indicated that he has asked Bobby & Steve's for the names to place on the sign near the Huset Park shelter for the dedication. Discussion was held on holding a dedication and family night for the Huset Park shelter and playground. Mayor Peterson reported a sculpture is being placed on the ground of the Columbia Heights High School near the Hylander Center to symbolize the cooperation between the School District and the City. The Synergy stainless steel sculpture has flowers planted around the base of it. The dedication will be in May. Hoium reported that he is running for the City Council. Payne thanked the Park & Recreation on behalf of the Athletic Boosters for the use of field 3 for the winter carnival. He reported the Boosters would like to hold a spaghetti dinner fundraiser on June 23` at Murzyn Hall to kick -off Jamboree and raise funds for the new concession wagon. The Park & Recreation members and staff adjourned the meeting to conduct a park cleanup at Huset Park.

Just recently she was diagnoised with stage 3 cervical cancer and since april she's been in and out of the hospital. It all started with Fibroid Tumors and Ovarian Cysts. She was scheduled to have a Hyterectomy and her tumors were so large they crushed her kidney tubes. Her right kidney stopped draining but her left one was still in good condition. They inserted a nephrosotomy tube into her back to help her kidney drain. She also had a procedure done to kill off her tumors but it didnt work to her advantage. She is no longer able to have a hysterectomy due to her kidney issues and her cancer. LuAnn is now under going radiation and chemotherepy to rid herself of cancer. We are currently looking for a location to hold a benifit for her. Due to her high cost medical bills we are not able to afford to pay for a location. Her benifit is going to consist of a silent auction /raffle. Ricky's Embers and Albert's are going to donate food and Johnson's bacon and egg cafe will donate gift certificates. My family has been a Columbia Heights resident for 14 years. If there is anything you can offer us it would be greatly appriciated. Thank you for your time, please feel free to contact me. Natasha Smith (612) 655 -2513 or by e-mail tasie_puffs@yahoo.com City -Owned Outdoor Recreational Facilities Model Tobacco -Free Policy WHEREAS, the City believes that tobacco use in the proximity of children and adults engaging in or watching outdoor recreational activities at City -owned or operated facilities is detrimental to their health and can be offensive to those using such facilities; and WHEREAS, the City has a unique opportunity to create and sustain an environment that supports a non - tobacco norm through a tobacco -free policy, rule enforcement, and adult -peer role modeling on City -owned outdoor recreational facilities; and WHEREAS, the City believes parents, leaders, and officials involved in recreation are role models for youth and can have a positive effect on the lifestyle choices they make; and WHEREAS, the tobacco industry advertises at and sponsors recreational events to foster a connection between tobacco use and recreation; and WHEREAS, cigarettes, once consumed in public spaces, are often discarded on the ground requiring additional maintenance expenses, diminish the beauty of the City's recreational facilities, and pose a risk to toddlers due to ingestion; and WHEREAS, the City Park & Recreation Board determines that the prohibition of tobacco use at the City's recreational facilities serves to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of our City. Section 1: Tobacco use prohibited in outdoor recreational facilities No person shall use any form of tobacco at or on any City -owned or operated outdoor recreational facilities, including the restrooms, spectator and concession areas. These facilities include [insert specific facilities here, e.g. playgrounds, athletic fields, beaches, aquatic areas, parks, and walking /hiking trails]. Section 2: Enforcement 1.

Section 3: Effective Date This policy statement is effective immediately upon the date of adoption. Appropriate City Official Date W'V / I Youth Recreational Organization Model Tobacco -Free Policy Commitment As an organization whose goal is to provide a safe, healthy youth recreational environment, we recognize that there are numerous health hazards resulting from the use of tobacco products, including smoking, the breathing of secondhand smoke, and the use of smokeless tobacco. We understand our responsibility to the participants of our program to model and promote healthy, tobacco -free lifestyles. We also realize that the tobacco industry strives to make a connection between recreation and tobacco, and we promise to refuse any compensation, either monetary or goods, from any tobacco industry- sponsored program, promotion, or advertisement. We stress to leaders, teachers, coaches, officials, administrators, parents, spectators, and all others involved the importance of maintaining a tobacco -free environment while working with young people and encourage everyone to be a positive, tobacco -free role model. Therefore, we will provide an environment that is free of tobacco at all events. Policy The use or possession of any form of tobacco during all activities sanctioned by or in which our organization participates is prohibited.

MN Work Song "Work Song" is the name of a Jazz standard by Nat Adderly popularized by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band of the 60's. Inspired by the matter of fact "work ethic" characterized in the book: Columbia Heights Boot Strap Town by Irene Parsons. "To pull oneself up by ones (own) bootstraps; To help oneself without the aid of others; Use ones own resources" Also inspired by the Electric Steel Casting Company, the former industrial tenant adjacent to Huset Parkway. Description / Materials "Work Song" is an airy abstract sculpture that hovers above the roundabout. The artwork is a repeating motif in a circular composition that metaphorically suggests the ritual of our daily work routine. It conforms to the basic movement of the landscaped centerpiece. It is essentially a three dimensional drawing where volume and form are implied by the linear design. It is fabricated out of 2" aluminum tubing rolled to various radiuses and welded together. The form is supported by a series of trusses that are anchored by footings in the ground. Incorporated into the trusses is the foundry slag stacked on edge (the incorporation of the slag may vary depending on cost and feasibility). The sculptural element would be fabricated in three sections, each with its own support and would be assembled together to visually create one unified sculpture. The method of fabrication and the basic material selection allows for the artwork to achieve a scale that is appropriate for the setting and the budget. Scale is approximately 22' in height and 18' in diameter. Site modifications: Simplify the setting so there is a clear visual function to the roundabout that features the artwork. Relocate the four bollards perhaps to the adjacent street corner or corners. Relocate one of the trees to soften symmetry of roundabout. I would suggest moving the tree on the northwest corner to strengthen view from University Avenue. A final option would be to lower the wall on a minimum of two sides or perhaps all four sides. This however may be cost prohibitive. Presentation consists of a primary concept as noted and rendered (the rendering communicates the idea but a three dimensional model is essential in understanding the form precisely). Other ideas are included as alternatives or supplemental. The Artwork would fall within the proposed budget of $50,000. However some of the considerations presented here if implemented may exceed the proposed budget. Timeline: 2011. If any or all of this proposal is of interest I would like to request a stipend or design fee of $2,000 to cover further development of the artwork and site considerations. This would include obtaining the original construction documents for assessing site and site modifications, additional research, a model to scale, additional renderings, and preliminary estimates for engineering, fabrication, and installation. This fee would be included in the final budget. Bonestroo Inc. has agreed to provide consultation for the project. I hope you will find this proposal of interest, thank you for providing this opportunity.

It is not my decision what the format of this process is. Non of the other artists will be present. >>> <Artscity @aol.com> 6/11/2010 2:02 AM >>> Liz, Got your phone message. I thought the Artists would be able to show up for what the city wanted to have happen on the site. If you want to use a statement from me it would be " I want to use the cast iron sculptors to horror the past history of the city and the hard working people who built the town. Take the sculpture's to what the city is doing now and to Columbia Heights future." Liz, the drawings you have from me are just quick things. The only way for what I am proposing to do has to be done on site with the folks that will give it the thumbs up.

The purpose of park areas is to promote community wellness, and tobacco -free policies fit with this idea. • Tobacco -free environments promote positive community role modeling and protect the health, safety, and welfare of community members. • Cigarette litter is dangerous. Discarded cigarettes pollute the land and water and may be ingested by toddlers, pets, birds, or fish. Tobacco -free policies help change community norms. Tobacco -free policies establish the community norm that tobacco use is not an acceptable behavior for young people or adults within the entire community. Secondhand smoke harms everyone. The 2006 Surgeon General's report concludes that secondhand smoke is a human carcinogen for which there is no safe level of exposure. Exposure to secondhand smoke has immediate health consequences on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems.' Secondhand smoke is harmful in outdoor settings. According to a 2007 study, secondhand smoke levels in outdoor public places can reach levels as high as those found in indoor facilities where smoking is permitted 2 Policies provide consistency among community athletic facilities and groups. The majority of community sporting events are held at either city or school athletic facilities, and nearly all school districts prohibit tobacco use on their entire grounds. Also, many local athletic associations have tobacco -free policies but use city facilities and would benefit from a city-wide policy. The Tobacco -Free Youth Recreation Initiative Tobacco -Free Youth Recreation (TFYR) is a recreation - based tobacco prevention program that assists recreational groups in promoting healthy tobacco -free lifestyles.

In 2004, the University of Minnesota surveyed Minnesota residents to learn about the level of support for tobacco -free park and recreation policies 3 Minnesota park directors were also interviewed to ask how they felt about tobacco -free policies. Here are the study's key findings: What Minnesota residents say: • Most Minnesotans support tobacco -free park and recreation policies. 70% of Minnesota residents support tobacco -free park and recreation areas. In addition, 66% of golfers and 73% of families with children support these policies. • Policies should prohibit all forms of tobacco. 79% of residents supported tobacco -free policies that prohibit all forms of tobacco use, including spit tobacco. • Parks should be tobacco free at all times.

There is currently no state law that regulates tobacco use in outdoor areas. Are local governments able to enact policies restricting tobacco use? Neither federal nor state law prohibits local governments from regulating tobacco use outdoors. What is the difference between a park policy and an ordinance? In general, park policies are rules regarding city or county-owned park property that are established by local park boards and are often approved by city councils or county boards. Generally, those who ignore park policies do not receive a fine, but are asked to refrain from using tobacco or leave the premises. ordinances are local government enactments that regulate people or property and carry a penalty such as a fine for violations. Ordinances often orInate from a recommendation passed by the park board. For both park policies and ordinances, tobacco use is prohibited on park property. Should a policy cover all property and activities or just youth events? In Minnesota, both types of policies exist, but the recent trend is toward "all property" policies because they may be simpler for citizens to understand, rather than to determine which activities qualify as "youth events." How do other Minnesota communities enforce their policies? Minnesota communities with tobacco -free park policies post signs in their park areas that announce the policy. These signs provide communities with the ability to rely on community and self- enforcement. Many tobacco users look for "no tobacco" signs. These signs empower everyone using the parks to provide friendly reminders about the policy to violators. Signs also help to eliminate the need for any law enforcement presence. The majority of Minnesota communities with policies have utilized Tobacco -Free Youth Recreation's free signs. ' Minnesota Attorney General Mike Hatch. (5/4/00). Legal opinion letter to Peter Vogel. ' League of Minnesota Cities. (2003). 11andbookfor Minnesola Cities. [Online]. Available: littp: //w v .lmnc.org/hatidbook/cliapterO7.pdf. In addition to signs, communities notify their residents in a variety of ways: local media, newsletters, policy reminder cards, recreation program brochures, policy statements sent to sports associations, and coaches' trainings. Are existing policies working? Yes' According to a 2004 University of Minnesota survey of Minnesota park directors in cities with such policies, 88% of park directors reported no change in park usage (no loss of park users), 71% reported less smoking in parks, and 58% reported cleaner park areas. What effect do tobacco -free park policies have on youth? Research has not been completed on this particular topic, but in general, tobacco -free policies help prevent youth tobacco use, particularly by establishing tobacco - free community norms and by providing adults the opportunity to be tobacco -free role models throughout the community. What other benefits result from tobacco - free policies? Cigarette filters are not biodegradable, so they do not decay and cannot be absorbed by the environment. A policy reduces park and beach litter and protects toddlers from ingesting filters that are discarded. In Minnesota, smoking - related debris accounted for 62% of total debris during a 2005 coastal cleanup. Will policies keep some people from using public park and recreation areas? Tobacco -free policies for park areas ensure that all citizens have a healthy recreational environment. People go to parks to exercise or relax, not to use tobacco. Smokers work, eat, shop, travel, and reside in smoke -free environments every day. No court has determined that smoking is a constitutionally protected right. Aren't tobacco -free policies for parks a needless regulation? These policies are similar to those prohibiting alcohol and litter or requiring that pets be leashed. It is the duty of policy makers to enact policies that protect the health of their citizens. ' Perry, C. ( 1999). Crealing Health Behavior Change: Homy to Develop Couunnoity- Wide Programs for Youth.
