APPROVE AGENDA,MINUTES,ANNOUNCEMENTS,INTRODUCE VISITORS • The Annual Retreat was called to order at 4:38 p.m. • Commissioner Danner noted the invitation members had received to the Division Conference on March 21. 2. COMMISSION GOALS FOR 2000 • Members reviewed a letter from Mayor Coleman stating his appreciation for the work of the Commission,the need for cost effective program management, his support of Riverfront development efforts including the renovation of Harriet Island, and the high priority given to the Como Education Resource Center and the Phalen Corridor Initiative in the city's legislative package. Staff members provided information on these topics. • Commissioner Danner greeted Council President Bostrom and reviewed the history of the relationship between the Commission and the City Council, noting the need to maintain good communication between the two bodies. Council President Bostrom expressed some skepticism about off-leash dog areas. He pointed to the need to maintain excellent park facilities in all parts of town. He would like to see a circuit developed around the city for use'by owners of classic cars. Commissioner Danner spoke of the need for a mechanism to increase maintenance funding for new and larger facilities, and recommended the reinstatement of a tree trimming assessment. Commissioner Saint Paul Parks and Recreation Commissioners: Samuel Verdeja, Chairperson; Akin Paulson, Vice-Chairperson Jill Danner, William Dunnigan, William Fritts, Terrence Huntrods, Kenneth Mauer, John O'Halloran, , Phil Ravitzky • O'Halloran said the Commission should be fully informed about matters such as the promise of naming rights to outside entities which affect parks and recreation facilities. • Councilmember Chris Coleman described his experiences as a volunteer coach at Linwood Recreation Center. Parks and recreation centers,he stated, are often the first point of contact new residents have with city government. He expressed concern about how facilities could be maintained with rising costs and no tax increases,but urged recruitment of volunteers and cooperation with other agencies as a way to keep expenses down throughout the Division. He suggested the Commission contact the Council early in the annual funding cycle to maximize the impact its recommendations will have. • Council President Bostrom spoke of the need for a plan to develop new soccer fields. Commissioner Paulson reiterated the need for increased funding to match the increase in maintenance responsibilities created by new construction projects. Councilmember Dunnigan recommended developing partnerships to help enhance Division efficiency. Commissioner Danner said the Commission can be of service to the Council by dealing with controversial parks and recreation issues. 3. DIRECTOR'S REPORT • Mr. Wittgenstein pointed out that bonding money, such as CIB funds, cannot be used for maintenance costs, but recognized the need for a mechanism that will accomplish this. Mr. Wirka observed that information about projected increased maintenance costs are included in CIB proposals,but to no apparent avail. Mr. Wittgenstein asked the Commissioners to review the recently completed Soccer 2000 report,which makes recommendations on where new soccer fields should be located. He spoke of efforts to make new arrangements for the management of the Como Lakeside Pavilion. 4. ELECTION OF OFFICERS • Commissioner Paulson was nominated to the position of Vice Chairperson and elected by a vote of 7-0-1. Commissioners Danner and Verdeja were nominated to the position of Chairperson. Commissioner Verdeja was elected to this position by a vote of 4-3-1 (4 votes for Commissioner Verdej a, 3 votes for Commissioner Danner, 1 vote for Commissioner Paulson). • Commissioner Paulson noted the excellent job Commissioner Danner had done as Chairperson, a thought which was agreed to by all present. 5. COMMISSION PRIORITIES FOR 2000 • Ms. Barr led a brainstorming session intended to identify topics the Commission should address during 2000. The list included: *Neighborhoods in Transition *Jimmy Lee land acquisition *Technology, including citizen access, funding mechanisms and staff needs *CIB process with maintenance costs included *Environmental stewardship *Winter maintenance of trails *Watergate Marina *Phalen Corridor Initiative *Harriet Island renovation *Rice Park-recognition of donors *Community and business partnerships *Tree trimming *Commission lobbying *Como Education Resource Center *Soccer field development *Highland Golf Course research and renovation *Midway Stadium *Rice and Arlington Facility *Charter schools *Como Lake Shoreline Vegetation Management Plan *Town Square management plan Managers and staff will develop a work plan for Commission review based on these ideas and including the best anticipated time for the Commission to consider them. 6. COMMISSION MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES • Commissioner Danner noted that information she received at the October, 1999 NRPA convention may be used by Commissioners as self-evaluation tool. • Commissioner Danner spoke of the need for excellent attendance by Commissioners. • The need for a standardized packet of information for new members was acknowledged. Staff will develop this packet. • Commissioner Verdeja requested a meeting with Mr. Wittgenstein to discuss Commission role and size issues. He requested Commission minutes for the past 14 months, which staff will furnish to him. 7.
