Request from City of Shorewood'>Cathcart Park Capital Improvements
On April 25, 1995, Mary Bensman, Shorewoo 1< and Recreation Commission Chair,
spoke to the commission as a visitor to your regular meeting. Ms. Bensman's topic of
discussion was Cathcart Park. Specifically, she requ~sted two things of the City of
Chanhassen:
1. That Chanhassen coordinate voluI1teers to work\vith a citizen supervisor for 6-8 hours
on a Saturday to install playground equipment; alld
2. That the city purchase the playground border material.

The City of Shorewood operated and tl1eparkuntil1993. Some exceptions to this
practice have been made over the years. Th rr~ngement I recall occurred 5-7 years ago
when the City of Chanhassen purchased a b ry fence for the eastern edge of the park. In
1993, a joint agreement between the City of orewood and the City of Chanhassen in regard
to the operation and maintenance of Cathcart Park was drafted. Bringing this agreement to
the table required a good deal of effort on the part of both cities. The conditions of the
agreement were researched in some detail and stood the test of debates among city officials.
The agreement was signed by the mayor and city administrator of Shorewood on June 14,
1993 and Chanhassen's mayor and city manager on July 9, 1993.

690 Coulter Drive, P.O. Box 147
Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Todd:
Enclosed, please fmd the plan and cost estimate for Power Hill Park alterations. As we discussed, the
plan includes striping for two half court basketball areas, hopscotch and four square on the existing
parking lot as well as installation of a gate, bollards and added parking.
The Yz basketball courts are opposite each other to allow the possibility of full court play. The
basketball hoops, however, will be at different heights; the easterly hoop will be the regulation 10 feet
and the westerly hoop will be at 8 feet for younger players. The overall length of the court is
approximately 67 feet, much less that the standard 84 feet.
.
The gate will need to be fairly substantial structure, constructed of steel tubing with welded
construction and significant footings. There will be two gates which meet in the center of the
driveway. The gates can be locked open using two lock-down bollards positioned at the sides of the
driveway. Access to the parking lot will be further controlled by placing wood bollards along the
pavement edge. The bollards will allow bike and pedestrian access but restrict vehicular access. Five
parking spaces (1 handicapped) have been added to the park along the existing entry drive. There are
a few small existing trees which will need to be removed to accommodate the parking.
The cost estimate enclosed for roughly $5,000 assumes that the City will provide all the labor
necessary to fabricate and/or install the components. If Contract labor is used to do this work, the
costs would obviously be significantly higher. As I mentioned earlier, if the Park Commission directs
Staff to proceed with the work, we can pull the construction details for the various components
together fairly easily.
If you have any questions, please give me a call.
Sincerely,
~L~
Bruce L. Chamberlain, RLA
Park Planner

Chanhassen, MN 55317
Dear Mr. Hoffman and Commission Members,
I am a 13-year-old boy that lives in the Lake Susan Hills. I was glad to
hear that you are planning to put basketball hoops in Power Hill Park. I
would like to ask that you put the baskets where it would be possible to play
a full court game. If possible I would appreciate it if you could also add lines
for our boundaries and free throw lines. I would also ask you to make the
hoops adjustable so that both little and big kids can play.
.
.
Thank you for listening to us kids.

MEMORANDUM

Park and Recreation Commission
Dawn Lemme, Recreation Supervisor \:) ~ .
FROM:
DATE:
May 4, 1995
SUBJ:
Chanhassen Recreation Center
In response to your request at the April 25 meeting, I have taken a look at our picnic fees to
see if we can remain somewhat consistent between the recreation center and our current
outdoor facilities.
Because the base rate for our outdoor facilities. depends on the amenities (Lake Ann Pavilion
offers more than Lake Susan), I am giving yOu a range of discounts and surcharges for those
outside of the standard category.
Keep in mind that I consider the standard category to be a private resident group rental and
that the base rates are $60.00 for a resident, private group rental at Lake Susan or $90.00 for
a resident, private group rental at Lake Ann.
Non-resident private groups are surcharged 100 - 200%
Resident busine.ssesare surcharged 30 - 40%
Non-resi
businesses are surcharged 200 275%
District 112/276scho()Lgroups are discounted 50%
Other school district groups are surcharged 50%
Non-profit/senior groups are discount~25%
In addition, I have included some surcharge/discount information from other cities.
Apple Valley
All groups except business/commercial pay one rate.
Business/commercial pays double or is surcharged 100% of the
rate.
Becker
For meeting rooms, everyone pays the same hourly rate, and
community groups are free. The banquet room fee for non-
residents is surcharged 40%.
New Brighton
Community room rental for non-residents is surcharged 10% on
top of the resident rate.
Chaska
Surcharge of non-residents is 100%, i.e. $100.00 resident/
$200.00 non-resident, $50.00 resident/$100.00 resident.
It is my recommendation that the Chanhassen Recreation Center standard group be considered
as a private resident group renting one room on a weekday. Based on other cities and our
outdoor facility rates, a 100% surcharge or double the fee seems appropriate for non-residents,
overall.
Again, there are other factors besides resident/non-resident status (see pages 2 and 3 on
previous report). I look forward to discussing each of those in greater detail on Tuesday,
May 9.
I have attached our picnic information sheet and some additional rental information on the
Minnetonka Community Center.

FROM:
DATE:
SUBJ:
Recreation Center
In preparation for the opening of the recreation c:;~nter, a variety of issues are being addressed.
In response to the commission's inquiries, I hav~s.~lected a few for discussion. These early
decisions will set the stage for future decisions;
.
Hours of Operation: Generally, during the weekdays, most communitylrecreation
centers begin operations at 6 a.m. with early morning exercise programs. Open gym
or adult leagues typically conclude by 10 p.m. On Saturdays, 8-8:30 a.m. seems to be
the norm for opening, and closing times vary according to the different amenities, but
ranges from 7:30-10:00 p.m. Sundays are different from place to place for both open
and closing hours. I believe this also varies according to use. To date I have 2
churches interested in renting space on Sundays which would mean potentially
opening earlier than otherrecreation/community centers generally do. One other issue
is before/after hour rentals. Should we rent the facility for a lock-in, church (before
normal Sunday opening), etc.?
A.
B. Room Rental Rales: . May be established based on group type and a number of other
issues. (iblefor relltalis the conference roOIIl, community room (divides into 4
meeting rooms)aIld gymnasium.
1. What categories do you feel room rental rates should be based on?
a.

g.
Resident vs. non-resident
Group type (churchlcivib/llon-profit, private, business/commercial)
Day (Weekday: Mon-Thurs Weekend: Fri-Sun)
Time (Hourly, 12 day, full day)
Room type (meeting room with or without kitchen, conference room,
gymnasium)
Number of rooms (refers to community meeting rooms 1, 2, 3, or 4)
Setup vs. no setup
Park and Recreation Commission

.
After reviewing approximately six other centers, a combination of all or some of the
categories may be used.
2. For each of the categories, what is considered normal or standard when
attaching a fee to it? (This will help you determine whether the fee for a
particular group is standard, discounted or surcharged.) For example: Is your
standard rate going to be based on a resident renting one meeting room for a
private function on a weekday? If that is your standard, then what will be the
discount or price for a resident civic group doing the same rental? Listed here
are each of the potential categories and options within each.
STATUS
Resident
Non-resident
(consider as a standard)
Will you charge an additional fee/hour or percentage?
l.e: Chaska charges from $10-$25/hour extra for all non-resident rentals.
l.e:
New Brighton charges $25-$70 extra depending on the user group and
the room.
.
l.e: Becker charges $100 extra for non-resident rental of the banquet room.
GROUP TYPE
Private
Church! ci vic/non- profi t
Business/commercial
(consider as a standard)
Discount %
Surcharge %
l.e: Chaska on a weekday for under 2 hours, there is no charge for a
resident civic group but for a church group private rental, the fee is
$lO/hour. For a resident business rental on a weekday, the fee is 21i
times that rate ($25/hour).
DAY
Weekday
Weekend
(consider as a standard)
Surcharge %
l.e:
Maplewood charges $25-35 extra for weekend rentals (Fri-Sun, 6 p.m.
to 6 p.m.)

TIME

Full day
(consider as a standard)
Discount %
Discount %
Do you give a % discount to people for renting for longer period (which means
less staff time in set-up, etc.) and do you establish a minimum number of hours
for rental if doing hourly?
l.e: New Brighton rate works out to be $8.30/hr. for a resident business
group to rent for a half day, and $6.25/hr. to rent for a full day. They
offer a half day rate of $50 for a meeting room (resident business) and
$75 for a full day.
ROOM TYPE
Basic Meeting Room which is V4 of the community room. Two of the rooms
contain kitchenettes and two do not.
Basic Meeting Room
Meeting Room with Kitchenette
Gymnasium
(consider as a standard)
Surcharge %
Surcharge %
All places centers contacted charged higher rates for nicer or larger rooms with
more amenities.
NUMBER OF MEETING ROOMS
One
Two
Three
Four
(consider as a standard)
You may consider giving a discount for renting multiple rooms because of the
configuration of the community meeting room and its ability to break into 4
rooms.
SET UP/TAKE DOWN
Is this part of the standard rental or do you charge extra for this?
l.e: Chaska charges an additional $40 for setup and $60 for cleanup of their
community room.

Adult Basketball League Evaluation
The 1994/95 adult basketball league was intere~~~~p to say the least. This year the league had
many lows, more so than any other. I had mallY qqmplaints regarding the officiating this
year. Some of the complaints are justified andmariy are not. The attitudes of some of the
players are very bad. The constant question pf calls; Joul language and general verbal abuse
of the officials has reached an all time low.. Through technical fouls, player suspensions and
discussions between managers and myself, these measures didn't seem to make a difference.
With all these negative events, it is hard to look forward to next year's season. Many of the
evaluations rated the officiating fair to poor. After the official/player incident, the upper
teams called their own fouls for the:remainder of the season, with the exception of the in-
house tournament. This seemed to work and the players seemed fine with the idea. The only
way this league will continue will be if we stop contracting for officials. Discussions with
other basketball admini~trfltors around the Twin Cities revealed that they experience many of
the same problemsJhatT do.
Not having offi~Elpiit the bl.lrdenof calling fouls on the teams. They ar~Jess likely to
become angry with theirJ~U.q\V.. players. The time keeper/score keeper will still be hired to
give the program some structl.lre;ho\Veyer, the players will be advised that the time
keeper/score keeper is not to be heckled.

Old Business
1. There was a brief review of the conference "Youth on Boards" held at Earle Brown Center on the St.
Paul Campus. Matt, Lori, Jason, and Bob attended. Involved with Albert Lea in presenting the topic
"Making Presentation to Boards." Talked with youth from various schools. Had a long discussion with
two Hmong individuals from the St. Paul area. We hope to connect with before school is out. They are
doing a lot of exciting things for youth by serving on boards.
At this conference, we were informed that Legislator Andy Dawkins is introducing legislation which
would allow 16 + year olds to vote in elections. The idea was very controversial.
2. Environmental Week begins April 17. Briefly talked about the week of activities planned by Student
Council at CHS.
3. Reminder to YC members. Set up another time to attend your agency meeting and make a
presentation. Encourage your agency to place you on their mailing lists.
4. Loaves & Fishes date has been set for May 15. Leave the high school at 4 pm and return between
7pm and 7:30. See Kathy Wellens for permission forms.

access a maximum amount of $25 to purchase plants/flowers/supplies in order to maintain their ilower
bed between May 1, 1995 and May 1, 1996. Motion was passed.
.
7. The committee on Mini-Grants has met once and will meet again in May. The proposal is to allow
applicants the opportunity to apply for monies up to $250 in order to promote an idea which will
positively affect students in District 112. A total of four grants may be given out. A meeting will be
called by Chairperson Kerry Holtmeier.
8. The Penny Harvest Project was again discussed. The Student Council has decided to hold the event

Profiles of Student Life in Chaska School District 112
Prepared by Dale A. Blyth, Ph.D.

About this Profile
In December of 1994, over 1100 sixth, seventh, eighth, tenth and eleventh graders in Chaska
School District 1 12 completed the Search Institute Profiles of Student Life survey as part of the
community's effort to build a healthier place for children and youth. About one out of four report their
parents are divorced and 20% live with one parent all or most of the time. Four out of ten have parents
with a college degree. .
How well are our youth doing?
· 15% of 6th graders and 13% of 11 th graders met the four criteria for healthy development (20 or
more assets, 2 or fewer deficits, 1 hr. or more of service per week, and 2 or fewer serious at risk
behaviors). ...
· More District youth meet the criteria than the average youth in other communities studied, especially
during the high school years (e.g., 13% vs. 7% of 11th graders)
In what ~ypes of risk behaviors are our youth involved?
· The percent of youth who are involved in two or more of the 20 serious risk behaviors increases from
9% of 6th graders to 37% of 11th graders -- this compares favorably to the 20% of sixth graders
and 57% of 11 th graders across other communities
· District 11 th graders report hiqher than average levels of frequent use of illicit drugs (19% vs.
12%), non-use of contraception when sexually active (58% vs. 49%), and involvement in theft
(24% vs. 12%)
· District 11th graders report lower than averaqe levels of drinking alcohol a lot in last month (11 %
vs. 17%), binge drinking (21% vs. 34%), sexual activity (27% vs. 48%), feeling depressed (11 %
vs. 17%), and either drinking and driving (10% vs. 24%) or riding with someone who had been
drinking (21 % vs. 43%)
· Eighth graders were the only grade were youth seemed to do less well than the average in other
communities on 10 of the 20 indicators but better on only 3
To what extent do youth experience deficits in their lives?
· While deficits increase across grade levels, they are lower on average in high school than among other
communities (e.g., 2.4 vs. 2.7 in 1 lth grade)
· Fewer District students watch TV excessively (32% vs. 54% in 6th grade and 17% vs. 32% in
eleventh garde), report overly hedonistic values (33% vs. 48% of 11th graders), or experience
physical abuse in high school (13% vs. 19%)
· More District students experience being at home alone (71 % vs. 57% of eighth graders)
· Eighth graders were also more likely to experience stress (24% vs. 17%)
To what extent do youth get involved in service and work activities?
· More District youth, on average, report performing at least one hour of service a week helping others
than among other communities (e.g., 41% vs. 33%of 11 th graders)
· About one out of ten youth performs three or more hours of service each week (one out of eight for
females)
· 32% of sophomores and 54% of juniors work 1 1 hours or more per week
.
10 WheH extent do our youth hC3ve the assets they need to grow up
health? .
· 39% of 6th graders and 33% of 11 th graders reported having 20 or more of the 30 assets youth need.
to grow up healthy (compared to 35% and 2~% respectively for the average among other
communities)
· The average number of assets declines from 18.5 in 6th grade to 16.6 among 11 th graders
· 11 % of the youth have fewer than 10 assets and are particularly vulnerable while 27% have more
than 20 assets
WhC3t types of C3ssets do District youth hC3ve C3round them?
· Majorities of youth report having supportive families, good communication with their parents,
parents who have high standards, discipline them, and monitor where they are
· Youth did, however, report decreasing levels of parent involvement in school (from 49% in 6th grade
down to 16% in 11 th grade), and decreasing percentages report their schools are
positive/supportive places (from 47% in sixth grade down to 23% in 10th grade and 30% in 11th
grade)
· Two out of three youth participate in school extracurricular activities and about 4 out of 10
participate in community organizations or activities
· At least half of the youth are involved in church or synagogue through their junior year (from 63%
in 6th grade to 50% in 11 th grade)
WhC3t types of assets do District youth hC3ve within them?
· 71 % of 11 th graders are motivated to achieve (80% of 6th graders) and almost all have high
educational aspirations
· Just over one half of the youth, however, report above average school performance and only about 1
out of 5 reports doing 6 or more hours of homework a week .
· Roughly 8 out of 10 youth perceive themselves as good at decision making and other areas of social
competence (except planning) with about three-fourths holding a positive view of their future.
· While over 80% of youth care about others feelings, only about 41 % of 11 th graders value helping
others (down from 57% in 7th grade)
· There is a decrease in the extent to which youth value sexual restraint (from 59% in 5th grade to
43% of 11 th graders)
Does having these developmental assets reC3lly make C3 difference?
· 40% of youth who are vulnerable (because they have 10 or fewer assets) drink alcohol regularly or
binge drink often but less than 5% or those with more than 20 assets do so
· Similarly, 31 % of vulnerable youth are sexually active compared to less than 7% or those with more
than 20 assets
.. in all at risk areas, youth who have few assets are 2 to 5 times more like!y to engage in problem
behaviors than those with more than 20 assets -- building positive assets around youth and within
them makes a difference
· Assets also are associated with better grades (a majority of youth with 20 or more assets got mostly
A's while only 4% of those with fewer than 10 assets did) and the number of hours of service in
which youth are involved
Whose job is it to help build C3nd surround District youth with Clssets?
· EVERYONE -- Everyone can help build assets and make the community a better place for youth. Youth
need our best and deserve our assistance in helping them make the most of their lives"

Karen Bowen, Chair
April 6 Meeting Notes
o
Four-color maps of both corridors have been printed and will be distributed to
city halls this week. Map enlargements will be posted at each kiosk and be
available at all Hennepin Parks facilities, as well as city halls.
o
Hennepin Parks Public Safety Director Bob Gove described the kind of
presence he intends Park Rangers to have on the LR T trail; a system for
getting feedback from trail users is being considered (e.g., 3 x 5 cards seeking
comments and/or suggestions for change or improvement).
o
A safety hazard near the Highway 7 bridge will be repaired ASAP.
o Reaffirmed that horses are prohibited on all sections of the trail; trail regulation
signs are in the works, as well as mile markers for the convenience of hikers,
bikers, and runners, as well as for public safety purposes.
o Discussed locations for trash barrels and dumpsters; Hennepin Parks
maintenance crews will place a dumpster at the Hopkins train depot site.
o David Hawes of Tree Trust and Bill Brumfield of Hennepin Parks discussed
the cooperative agreement between the County and Hennepin Parks,
establishing procedures for youth and adult work crews to provide routine
maintenance of the trail corridors.
o Hennepin Parks staff is identifying the most serious water pooling locations. It
was suggested (by Brumfield) that County work crews could assist with
pumping water out of problem areas.
o
illegal dumping is increasing; notification of such activities should go first to
Hennepin Parks unless, of course, a community is willing and able to dispose
of the item(s) or materials (it's important to search refuse for indications of
origin).

"Development is what we do best."
and housing projects have wasted no time in
embracing the new, and recent regulations have
virtually outlawed the installation of new slides,
play decks, and swings whose height exceeds
safety standards or that provide no access to
disabled users.
That trend is great for Landscape Structures,
one of the nation's top playground equipment
manufacturers with 180 employees; customers
throughout the country and in Europe, Asia
and Latin America; and gross sales approach-
ing $50 million-impressive accomplishments
for a family-owned firm that has survived early
undercapitalization, copycat competitors, gov-
ernment regulation and a rather litigious group
.f product users. The Kings' decision to start
he company in 1971 "took a lot of guts and not
much brains," Steve, 50, recalls one lender
characterizing it.
Lessons in
Accounting 101
Steve King had been working as a park and
playground planner with a Minneapolis land-
scape architecture consulting firm and Barb as
a home economist with Pillsbury when a busi-
ness bug buzzed in their ears. Steve's firm rou-
tinely charged clients thousands of dollars for
the design of componentized play equipment,
"and then a contractor would come in and
charge a fortune to build and install it," Steve
says. "I said, 'Hey, there's an opportunity here,'
simply because I could design standard compo-
nents, and I could reuse and configure them in
different ways to solve whatever particular site
or budget problems the client had. Then I could
manufacture the equipment without doing it on
a job-by-job contract basis."
When the city of St. Louis Park accepted his
bid to design and build a $30,000 playground
project, Landscape Structures was on its shaky
first legs. The original plan called for Barb to re-
.main working at Pillsbury for a while. "He was
going to work full time in the business and I was
going to provide the capital by having the only
real job," Barb says. Pillsbury unknowingly tor-
pedoed that idea by eliminating Barb's depart-
ment, and she soon found herself self-employed
as a food consultant. "It was getting really tough,
because I was baking bread until one o'clock in
the morning and then getting up in the morning
to work for Landscape," she remembers.
Although Barb (who wears the title of presi-
dent, in charge of finance, operations and ad-
ministration; Steve is chairman) is now widely
respected for her business and financial skills-
she won the Small Business Administration's
1994 "Small-Business Person of the Year" hon-
or for the six-state Midwest region-her early
attempts in accounting and office management
lagged far behind her bread-baking efforts.
"I have never had any business courses what-
soever," she says. One lender "agreed to sit
down with me, literally over the kitchen table,
and teach me Accounting 101. We did this at
seven o'clock in the evening, and he came over
almost every night of the week." He convinced
her that her most pressing task was "to recon-
struct all the books from Day One.... That's how
I got launched into the financial side," she con-
fesses, and she shunted home economics aside.
A $1,000 loan got Landscape Structures start-
ed, but by 1975 cash flow was not enough to
sustain the company's sales growth and manu-
facturing output. To raise about $40,000, the
Kings took on an equity partner. "Psychologi-
cally there was a big difference in having some-
one be a major partner in the business," Barb
observes. "But he was excellent at leaving us
alone-he was smart enough to understand
that if you just left us alone and let us manage
the business, that was the best return he could
get, and basically it worked that way."
By the time the Kings repurchased the in-
vestor's shares five years ago, at a cost report-
edly in the seven figures, Landscape Structures
was a different company. In 1984 it had swal-
lowed up Mexico Forge, a Pennsylvania manu-
facturer larger than itself, and endUred the re-
sulting culture shock of trying to meld firms
with different work ethics and employer-
employee relations. "It was a union shop-we
had never been union here before-and it
wasn't just that, but the social-cultural part of it
was different than in Minnesota.... There was
this mistrust, and I can't deal that way," Barb
says. "I have to have trust to start with. We
couldn't crack it-we just could not get it to
work. So we ended up shutting the [Mexico
Forge] plant down in 1986. We put on an addi-
tion to our building and literally moved the
whole operation back."
In her typical approach to business problems,
Barb calls the Mexico Forge experience a
"challenge," not a mistake. Nor does she char-
acterize as a failure a long-running computer
problem last year that delayed orders, antago-
nized some customers and made 1994 a year of
poor growth. "We don't make mistakes, we cre-
ate opportunities," she says. "So you pick your-
self up, you learn from it and go on, and you
don't get bent out of shape."
Building a better
swing set
What keeps Landscape Structures running
smoothly, despite these occasional bumps in the
road, is a dedication to quality and product inno-
vation. Steve, whose portion of the company
sandbox includes product development and mar-
keting, began by building his play structures out
of redwood. When that material grew too scarce
and expensive, he searched for a replacement
that would be equally attractive to buyers and to
kids. His earliest substitution in the late '80s,
something he called Alumicore, introduced alu-
minum posts faced with a veneer of timber.
"That concept took off very slowly," he explains.
"Wood people still wanted real wood all the way
through, and metal people wanted all metal."
Gradually he settled on a combination of
metal posts with a plastic facing. "We've posi-
tioned that as our recycled product," he says.
"Eighty-five percent of it is made from parts
that are either recycled or reclaimed from in-
dustrial waste." In the works, however, is some-
thing new. "It's a composite of recycled materi-
als, something never done before, a moldable
plastic and rubber derivative. I hope that in the
next 12 months we'll have this new recycled
material, and I'm very encouraged by the re-
search and development," he adds.
Environmental positioning can create a point
of difference in a competitive market, but kids'
playground equipment is purchased by adults
looking at the bottom line. Ken Vraa, director
of parks and recreation for the city of Eagan,
says it costs $18,000 to $25,000 to buy new play
equipment for a typical neighborhood park,
while a larger community site, like Eagan's
Blackhawk Lake Park, can sink $50,000 to
$60,000 into equipment. Landscape Structures'
Connective play
systems, like this
one In Plymouth
Creek Park, help
develop kids'
motor skills
and their
social play.
prices are on the high end of the scale.
"Our maintenance guys like their equipment
because it goes in quickly and easily, and when
we examine a bid, that's one of the things we
look at," Vraa says, noting that installation can
add 25 percent to cost of equipment. "And they
offer a lot of design flexibility. We don't have to
just buy Model 1414 out of the catalog-they're
really good in terms of helping us put together a
design that fits our spatial requirements, things
like differentials in grade elevations, or budget
requirements. They're one of the firms on the
cutting edge of that."
Vraa also deals with companies that offer
copycat products. "There are three or four of
them," he says. Barb King acknowledges that
"the proprietary time lag has shortened, meaning
from the time we put something out to the time
someone else copies it is really narrowing. It's
the 'nipping at the heels' concept-and the dust
isn't nearly as far back as it used to be."
Steve shakes his head with resignation when
he speaks of the copycats. "It does my ego won-
ders, and it does my pocketbook terrible," he
says. "You get used to it. Our philosophy has
been that it's going to go on because it costs lots
of money to do the research and development,
and so everyone else rips you off. However, our
attitude has been that development is what we
still do best, and if we can move the industry,
even if we have to drag it with us, so to speak,
that's what we'll do." Because much of Land-
scape Structures' creativity has gone into rear-
ranging already existing play structures, patents
have not been a reliable option in the past. Re-
cently, though, the company has applied for
patents to protect its Slide Winder, a spiral
slide, as well as other designs and materials.

Liability issues used to
consume 15 percent of
Barb's time. "It's counterpro-
ductive, it does not make us
any sales, it does not focus us on
our customers, and it's just a real
ugly part of the business," she
says, and she now retains a risk
management firm to handle most of
the legal flak. "It was not psychologi-
cally good for me to get so mired in it."
Steve, a member of the National
Standards Setting Committee for play-
ground safety, believes that only 5 percent
to 10 percent of playground injuries have
anything to do with design flaws or equip-
ment failure. The remainder stems from mis-
use, lack of supervision, poor maintenance and
improper use of equipment by adults. Even.
he has changed his designs over time to m'
them safer. "We won't make anything over 10
feet high now, and almost all of our swings are
eight feet high," he says. Adds Barb: "A lot of the
real high risk on the equipment has been taken out.
Some of that's really good for the kids. We have a say-
What has altered the compa-
ny's creative processes far
more than imitators is the
perilous legal climate in
which Landscape Struc-
tures operates. Those
kids may be cute, but
when they get hurt at
play, their families
often want to sue.

You can play on a 42-inch [plat-
form] and get just as much a kick
out of it as you can on a 72-inch."
Steve does admit to a longing for
less liability-obsessed days. "Every
time 1 talk to a lawyer, 1 want to
get out of the business," he says.
The legal system, he believes, is
chipping away at kids' ability to
have fun on the playground. "1
think we'll pay for it in the next 10
to 25 years, when all of a sudden
we can't offer the challenge we
used to-mental or physical chal-,
lenge. Kids will have to find it else-
where, whereas they could find it
on the playground," he says.
-Educating
the buyers
Regardless of who is to blame for
injuries on playground equipment,
adults need to protect kids from
the possibility of harm. Many of
the buyers of equipment-people
in PT As, on school boards, and at
child-care centers, shopping malls
and fast-food restaurants-are
woefully ignorant of how to judge
the safety of a playground. "The
customers are not sophisticated,"
says Marc Rabinoff, a professor in
the department of Human Perfor-
mance, Metropolitan State Col-
lege of Denver, and a sport and fit-
ness liability consultant. "The gen-
eral public doesn't understand any
inherent risks in playground
equipment. There are standards,
and you have to know them before
you buy the equipment."
Rabinoff observes that many of
the largest equipment makers like
Landscape Structures-which he
calls "a major player in the busi-
ness and one that does a great job
of manufacturing equipment that
is full of features, works well and
meets standards"-are combatting
the ignorance of their customers
by combining sales and risk-man-
agement functions. Warren
Anondsen, president of Earl F.
Andersen Associates in Blooming-
ton, which distributes Landscape
Structures products in the Twin
Cities, agrees. "We don't just want
to go out and sell. We have to edu-
cate customers and let them know
what the new guidelines are. It's
our job to let them know you can't
do certain things-we have an
obligation to tell them," he says.
While federal safety standards
and disability-access regulations
may burden Landscape Structures
with more design restrictions, they
also generate sales by making old
equipment obsolete. As a result,
even as schools and park systems
faced skimpier budgets, the 1990s
have been good years for the play-
ground equipment industry. "We're
realizing we're probably getting
more sales because of outside forces
than we are because the equip-
ment's deteriorating," Steve says.
With an increase during the past
couple of decades in the life ex-
pectancy of playground equipment
from 10 years to about 13, the
good times cannot last forever.
"There will be a lot of consolida-
tion in the future," Steve predicts.
"Now there are a lot of small com-
panies barely surviving, and one
good lawsuit will put them under.
We'll be one of the three or four
major players."
No matter what the future holds,
which lawsuits loom or how many
copycats threaten, the Kings know
one thing for sure: The needs of
children won't change. "Kids will
always want to be challenged and
to get social interaction and social
play on play equipment," Barb
says. "Kids will always be kids-
fortunately." .

slides, last wrote in the March 1994 is-

In 1993 and 1994, the big stocks
went from way below trend to
way above trend in the growth
rate. I think over the next cou-
ple years we are going to revert
back closer to the norm, and
that makes for a good stock
picker's market.
Q. So what kinds of stocks will
you be looking for?
A. Dale: In general, we're look-
ing for companies whose earn-
ings are growing at 50 percent
or faster than the average for
the S&P 500.
Q. Where do you believe those
stocks are?
A. Dale: Specialty retailing.
That would include some famil-
iar names, such as Home Depot
and Office Depot, plus some
newer companies, such as Pets-
mart.
In technology, we continue to
look at some different ideas
than you'd normally find in that
category. We've never played
the "black box" kind of names,
and instead look for companies
whose earnings and revenues
are more repeatable. For in-
stance, we like First Data, which
is the nation's largest credit card
processor; EDS or Electronic
Data Systems, Ross Perot's old
company; Fiserv, which pro-
vides financial accounting ser-
vices for banks, savings and
loans and credit unions; and
Automatic Data, which is a pay-
roll processor. Those companies
are more users than they are
producers of technology.
Q. Do you like any pure tech-
nology companies? -
A. Dale: Yes. In the pure tech-
nology area, we think Intel is a
company whose stock has been
resting for the past two years.
That's a name that we've added
in the past six months. Our ma-
jor holding in the pure technolo-
gy area continues to be in the
cellular area.
While I'm leery about most
pure technology companies, we
continue tq believe that in the
next 10 years, we will all be car-
rying cellular telephones-so
Motorola continues to be our
largest holding, and has been
for the past three years. L.M.
Ericsson, a Swedish maker of
cellular equipment and other
telecommunications equipment
is a company we like. We also
own Nokia, a cellular equip-
ment manufacturer, and Air
Touch, a global cellular operat-
ing company.
Q. What other types of stocks
are you in?
A. Dale: We feel very strongly
about financial services compa-
nies. As inflation has come
down, investors have been will-
ing to move further and further
out on the risk-reward spec-
trum. They've also moved away
from tangible assets into finan-
cial assets. You continue to rcead
about the net liquidation of eq-
uities, which took place for the
better part of 20 years, but that
trend has reversed itself in the
past three years. In other words,
people are buying more stocks
than they're selling. And the
companies that get into the path
of that move are going to do
very well.
We own Franklin Resources,
which is the mutual fund com-
plex that owns the Templeton
Funds and Charles Schwab,
which is really turning itself
from being a discount broker in-
to something akin to an annuity
business.
Q. Anything that doesn't fit in-
to any mold?
A. Dale: We own a number of
companies that don't fit into any
particular category. Cintas, a
company that rents uniforms,
. and Danka, and Alco Standard
-both of which lease and ser-
.
vice office equipment. And re-
member the Nifty 50 of the
1970s? Most of those are no
longer very nifty, but there are
still a couple that appeal: Coca-
Cola and Disney. Coke gets 85
percent of its earnings from
overseas, and the company has
tremendous unit growth. It's
truly one of the all-time great
companies. Disney has come
through some tough times, but
it's back on track and we still
own it.
Q. What about health care?
A. Dale: Our historic level of
ownership in health care was
very high through 1992 and into _
1993, but the momentum of
margin expansion peaked in
1992 or early 1993, and we have
become more selective in the
companies we own in that area.
We do own some medical
stocks, such as Medifis, which
provides billing services for clin-
ics, and R.P. Scherer, a drug de-
livery company that makes gel
caps and other products in that
area.
Q. Any local names?
A. Dale: Not at the moment.
But that doesn't mean anything
one way or the other. We could
own three of them tomorrow. .

Mr. Todd Hoffman,
Attending the past several Park and Recreation Commission meetings has been a real educational
process for us. We appreciate all of the timely efforts put forth by the Park and Recreation
Commission, the Park and Recreation Department as well as yourself. I believe we have the
foundation for a workable solution with regards to the basketball court. Thank you.
.
I am concerned, however, by the selection of Minnesota Wisconsin Playground, Inc. as the supplier
for the Power Hill Park playground equipment. Based on my understanding, they did not satisfy
the requirements of the RFP (Request For Proposal) nor did they satisfy the ADA requirements.
As such, I believe the Park and Recreation Commission selected a supplier which should have been
eliminated (upon having more time to review the handouts) i.e. paragraph 1 of your March 28
letter introducing the RFP. My concern is that this appears illegal, and ifnot, unethical. Basically,
the Park and Recreation Commission does not even know what they have approved; at least at this
point (Page 3 ofyoUf April 21 letter to the Park and Recreation Commission).
As the Director of Chanhassen Parks and Recreation Department, I consider you to be our resident
expert in this field. Although I am unfamiliar with history and I do not know the specifics of your
responsibilities, I was, at a minimum, disappointed that you did not come forward with a
recommendation .
I was even more disappointed that, when I personally asked for this input, it was not provided and
the Parks and Recreation Commission did not search it out. This appears to be an ineffective use
of your resources which I, as a Chanhassen resident, consider unacceptable. Chanhassen will have
many more dollars at stake with the contemplated Parks and Recreation Referendum and I
strongly encourage a better method of decision making than took place at the Parks and Recreation
meeting of April 25.
I am also disappointed that we, as a neighborhood, were not infornled that this was an item for
discussion at the April 25 Park and Recreation Commission meeting. A neighborhood initiative
needs to work hand in hand with the Parks and Recreation Department as well as the Parks and
Recreation Commis"ion.
.
I was caught dumbfounded and unprepared by the selection process and feel uncomfortable with
the selection made for the aforementioned reasons. I would like to know what needs to be done to
challenge and revisit this decision.
I am willing to coordinate a review of the proposals with the neighbors, if you would like. Please
share this with the Park and Recreation Commission and communicate to me the process I need to
follow to challenge the current direction.
Thanks again for all of your assistance and for remembering that this is a learning experience on
our part.
.
Sincerely,
