CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation Coordinatqr ~ DATE: April 7, 1988 SUBJ: Park Acreage Standard The Park and Recreation Commission tabled action on the park dedication fee schedule to review our current park acreage stan- dard of one acre per 75 people. Attached please find a list of each existing park, its acreage, the number of people in its ser- vice area, and the calculated number of people per acre. At first glance it would appear that a few of our parks are serving more people then our standard allows. However, each of these incidences show a park that shares a service area with another park. For instance, some residents within Minnewashta Heights developmentare served by Cathcart Park and Minnewashta Heights Park. This reduces some of the pressure on Cathcart Park. It is staff's belief that the standard of one acre per 75 people is a fair and proven standard. It is therefore, the recommendation of this office to adopt the existing park acreage standard and to establish the 1988 Park Dedication fees as follows: Single family Duplex Multiple family Industrial $425 per unit $425 per unit $280 per unit $1050 per acre As shown in the illustration in my memo dated February 10, 1988, (attached) this is a justifiable increase.

Mr. Johnson and Ms. Cordell have requested that the City acquire parkland in this area as none currently exists. . The Lake Lucy Highlands area is located in the rural area, out- side the MUSA line. Lot sizes in this area are a minimum 2.5 acres. Technically, according to the Comprehensive Plan, this is not a park deficient area and is served by Lake Ann Park. The Commission should direct staff as to how they would like to proceed on this item. . ROBERT L. SPEETER JOSEPH W. HAUTMAN RICHARD H. SPEETER CHERYL SPEETER MARGOLES ROBERT M.

MARGOLES PARK AND RECREATION COORDINATOR City of Chanhassen 690 Coulter Street Chanhassen, MN 55317 Dear Sir or Madam: As a new home owner in the Ci ty of Chanhassen near Lake Lucy, I note that there are no neighborhood parks in the area. Although there is a great deal of new development, there is still land available for park and recreation purposes. I believe the city should look into aquisition of lands in the north quadrant of the city far small parks and playgrounds before property values make public acquisition prohibitive. Inasmuch as I . am an attorney who has practiced in the area of real estate for the past nine years, I am willing to donate my services and assist in any way I can to ensure that our neighborhoods have sufficient recreational facilities. I believe that smaller parks help create neighborhood unity as well as increase property values. This is particularly true for families, like my own, that have young children for whom it is difficult to arrange transpor- tation across several miles. In addition, as a former resident of Minneapolis, I always felt the local parks promoted neighborhood cohesive- ness since they were within walking distance. It seems that second and third tier suburbs have elected to spend park and recreation funds on large complexes which, while having the benefit of centralized supervision and programs, do not attract young families on a regular basis because of the distances involved. I would be most interested in hearing about your plans for future park and recreational development. If you have a mailing list regarding committe meetings, I would appreciate if you would add my name and address to it.

As we acquire trail easements and construct trails, thought must be given to what policies, as far as uses on different types of trails, should be enforced. Obviously, we do not want to encourage motorized vehicles to use the paved pedestrian and bike trails, but, what about our nature trails? Also, now is the time that we should be discussing pets on trails and leash laws. Many of our trail easements are actually private property, and those property owners should be considered when decisions are made. Attached please find a letter from horse owners in the City, requesting that we keep the nature trails open to horseback riders. As the City develops, they are finding it increasely difficult to find safe places to ride. . March 29, 1988 .

CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Lori Sietsema, Park and Recreation coordinat~(_. April 1, 1988 ~ DATE: SUBJ: Lake Riley Chain of Lakes Improvement Project The Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District (RPBCWD) jointly funded a Diagnostic-Feasibility Study of the Riley Creek Chain of Lakes with the cities of Chanhassen and Eden prairie during 1985. The study report was used as part of a Clean Lakes Program grant application to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The grant award for the Lake Riley Chain of Lakes . Improvement Project was made in mid-1986. To date, little has been done on the project due, in part, to potential financial liabilities associated with the project that may obligate the RPBCWD to supply the local share of project funds if the DNR could not complete its portion of the project. The DNR fisheries work forms the majority of the local matching funds for the project. Their inability to fully participate in the project could result from the lack of public access on some of the lakes involved, i.e. Lake Lucy, Lake Ann, Lake Susan, and Lake Riley. The Lake Riley Chain of Lakes Improvement Project is potentially a $940,000 project which will improve lake and stream water quality at minimal cost to either the RPBCWD or the cities of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. The project budget is as follows: EPA Project Support: Non-Federal Support: MN DNR Support Watershed Districts & Cities TOTAL $467,630 447,630 22,630 $937,890 As stated earlier, the DNR is expected to provide the majority of the local funds required (50%) for this project through its involvement in the renovation of fisheries in project lakes. To . do so, however, they must be assured public access to the lakes, . . . Park and Recreation Commission April 1, 1988 Page 2 and agreements to operate, maintain and repair aerators and fish barriers. The first phase of the project is to develop a Work Plan which is expected to cost $50,000 over the period of April through Sep- tember, 1988. The costs of the work plan are grant-eligible and will be shared 50:50 by the US-EPA and the "local" project spon- sors. The RPBCWD is requesting that the cities of Chanhassen and Eden prairie consider joining the RPBCWD as "local" project co- sponsors for the purpose of preparing the Work Plan for the Lake Riley Chain of Lakes Improvement Project. Equally divided be- tween Cities and the District, this will amount to $8333 per agency. Attached please find a description of Lake Riley Chain of Lakes Improvement Project. Staff sees this as an important project for the City of Chanhassen and a tremendous opportunity to improve the water and fishing quality on our lakes. For this project to be implemented, it is imperative to obtain public access on Lakes Lucy and Susan, as access exists on Lakes Ann and Riley. It is the recommendation of this office to approve the expenditure of $8333 for the preparation of the Work Plan and to pursue public access on Lake Lucy and Lake Susan, ..:. .. ,. -:- l i.i...

RILEY CREEK CHAIN OF LAKES PROJECT The Riley Creek Chain of Lakes Project will implement a new lake protection and restoration strategy developed by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to improve and protect the water quality of the lakes in the Riley Creek watershed. The new strategy recognizes that it makes little sense to spend public funds to address water quality problems within a lake without taking steps to correct the problems at their sources through watershed management. In the past, the success of EPA Clean Lakes Program (CLP) projects was sometimes limited, because the projects often dealt only with the in-lake symptoms rather than the sources of the problems. MPCA and EPA experience with the CLP projects spanning ten years has demonstrated that watershed management must be combined with in-lake restoration . measures to ensure extended lake restoration and protection. Several questions and answers are presented below to help describe the project. Hopefully, the answers to the questions will help explain the scope of the project. 1) Why was the project established? The project has been established to address the water quality problems identified by Chapter 208 planning efforts and diagnostic-feasibility studies of Lake Riley completed by the Metropolitan Council and Barr Engineering Company. Water quality problems in the area lakes include algal blooms, excessive growth of aquatic vegetation, fish kills, rough . -2- fish. and sedimentation. One of the primary goals of the project is to ~ provide increased fishing and swimming opportunities in the lakes through improvements in the lakes' water quality. 2) How was project funding obtained? The Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District (RPBCWD) authorized Barr Engineering Company to prepare an application for Phase II CLP funding to be used in addressing the water quality problems in the Riley Creek Chain of Lakes. The application built on the results of a Phase I Diagnostic-Feasibility study completed by the Metropolitan Council in 1983 and data collected by the RPBCWD between 1974 and 1984. The final report for the Metropolitan Council study was titled a "Diagnostic-Feasibility Study of Seven Metropolitan Area Lakes". A second report titled. "Lake Riley Diagnostic Study Prepared for City of Chanhassen. City of Eden Prairie. and the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District." was prepared by Barr Engineering Company in 1985. This report combined the results of the Metropolitan Council study and data collected by the watershed district. The CLP grant was awarded to the MPCA for use in the Riley Creek watershed contingent upon the inclusion of nonpoint source (NPS) pollution controls in addition to in-lake restoration techniques in the project. In addition to dealing with specific water quality problems in the watershed. the project will be used as a demonstration project in the development of a state program for controlling NPS pollution in urbanizing areas. ~ ~ . . . -3- 3) ~~at is nonpoint source pollution? Nonpoint sources of pollution are defined as land management or land use activities that contribute to pollution as a result of runoff, seepage, or percolation, but Fre not discharged from specific sites such as municipal and industrial wastewater outlets (point source pollution). Nonpoint sources of pollution are the major reason that a number of Minnesota .surface and ground waters are not clean enough to support desired uses ranging from drinking water to fishing. Nationally, estimates of damages caused by NPS pollution range from $3 to $12 billion annually. Major sources of NPS pollution include: agricultural runoff; pesticide and fertilizer use; feedlot runoff; urban runoff from streets, yards, and construction sites; leachate from septic systems; highway de-icing chemicals; dredging and drainage activities; and impacts from the loss of wetlands. The MPCA and EPA are especially concerned about the potential impacts of development and resulting changes in runoff to the water quality of the Riley Creek Chain of Lakes. 4) What is a demonstration project? A demonstration project is a project designed to develop and demonstrate administrative and technical solutions to water quality/land use management problems. The MPCA is currently coordinating two projects in areas which are primarily agricultural land. The Riley Creek project will provide experience in an urbanizing area. The experience gained in these projects will be used as a guide in the development of a state NPS program. The -4- MPCA recognizes that this is a new program, so there are no hard and fast ~ rules regulating how projects must be implemented. New, innovative ideas for dealing with water quality problems will be encouraged in each of the projects. 5) What are the components of a successful project? Although this project is part of a new program direction, the project can draw on the experience gained by the EPA and MPCA over the past ten years in addressing water quality problems through the construction grants and lake restoration programs. Keys to the success of a water quality project include local government interest and support, development of specific goals and objectives, comprehensive watershed management, an information and education program, public input and support, and good interagency coordination. ~ 6) What do the EPA and MPCA expect? The EPA and MPCA expect that the watershed district and other local units of government will take steps to ensure that development in the watershed is undertaken in a manner that does not contribute to the degradation of the Riley Creek Chain of Lakes. Alternatives which may be used to address this issue include voluntary and mandatory controls, cost-share programs for the installation of best management practices, land use planning and zoning, and local ordinances. Local needs and resources will playa role in determining which strategies are most effective. ~ . . . -5- 7) ~~at other agencies or organizations are involved? Several local, state, and federal agencies have responsibilities for the management of Minnesota's water resources. In addition to the watershed district, EPA, and MPCA, other agencies which will be involved in this project include the City of Chanhassen, City of Eden Prairie, Carver and Hennepin Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCD) , Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) , Minnesota Soil and Water Conservation Board (SWCB), Metropolitan Council, and Soil Conservation Service (SCS). 8) What are the roles and responsibilities of the agencies involved in the project? u.S. Environmental Protection Agency - The EPA is the primary funding source for the project. It also has final approval of the work products in the project. Minnesota Pollution Control Agency - The MPCA is the Clean Lakes Program grant recipient. The agency is responsible for grant administration and management, project review and approval, and interagency coordination. MPCA will provide technical, planning, and regulatory assistance as needed. -6- Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District - The RPBCWD is the subgrantee for the CLP grant. The watershed district will be "responsible for project administration, management, implementation, and local coordination. The RPBCWD has watershed planning and regulatory authority. It is also responsible for providing some of the local and state share of the project budget. Cities of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie - The two cities have local planning, zoning, and regulatory authority. They may be responsible for some local share of the project budget. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources - The DNR will be responsible for fisheries management and rehabilitation in the watershed's lakes. They will also provide state matching funds for the CLP grant and technical assistance. u.s. Soil Conservation Service - The SCS will provide technical assistance in developing and implementing best management practices in the watershed. Minnesota Soil and Water Conservation Board - The SWCB will provide technical assistance and state matching funds for the CtP grant. The state matching funds will be available through the SWCB state cost-share program. . . . . . . -7- Hennepin and Carver Soil and Water Conservation Districts - The 5WCDs will be responsible for NPS planning, critical area identification, best management practices implementation. They will also provide technical assistance and local match to the CLP grant, primarily through the contribution of in-kind services. Metropolitan Council - The Metropolitan Council has regional planning authority. They may provide technical and monitoring assistance. 9) What lake restoration/protection measures are available for use in this project? To effectively address the water quality problems in the watershed, a number of restoration/protection measures will probably need to be implemented. These measures are composed of two types of activities. The first type includes in-lake restoration techniques such as fish barriers, biomanipulation, hypolimnetic aeration, and chemical treatment of bottom sediments. The second type includes watershed management measures such as use of best management practices on agricultural and construction sites, sedimentation basins, land use planning and zoning, and local ordinances regulating stormwater runoff. In addition to in-lake restoration techniques and watershed management, information/education, monitoring, and project evaluation programs will be needed in the project. -8- 10) What does the local and state share of the project costs involve? . The CLP grant was awarded to the MPCA in the amount of $563,886. EPA regulations require that this grant be matched by local and state funds, so that the total allowable project cost is $1,127,772. The MPCA has budgeted $80,326 for the development of an urban best management practices handbook and a computer model to help identify critical areas in urban areas. An additional $112,186 is required for NPS program administration and MPCA administrative costs. The remaining $935,260 will be used directly in the Riley Creek project. Of this amount, $467,630 must be provided by local or state sources. A large amount of this share may be contributed by the DNR if they can budget money for the fisheries management and rehabilitation programs in the project. The local and state share of the project funds may be in the form of hard cash or in-kind services provided by the RPBCWD, the two cities, the two SWCDs, and the SWCB. . 11) How might the project work? As stated above, the local units of government in the project area will be important in making the project successful. Ideally, one or more local unites) of government would have been involved in the project right from the beginning; however, restrictions for CLP funding did not allow the time to generate the local interest and support for developing a water quality management project in the watershed. A number of options exist for incorporating the involvement of the local units of government into the project.. To be successful, a local government unit must be willing to lead the project and coordinate the activities of the other agencies involved in . . . . -9- the project. Agencies which could lead the project include the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff Creek Watershed District, Cities of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie, Carver and Hennepin SWCDs, or a combination of the above. The RPBCWD seems to be the most appropriate lead agency; however, the participation of the other groups is no less important. Experience in two other demonstration projects has indicated that one person should be responsible for the daily coordination and management of the project. A . . number of alternatives for providing this leadership were discussed by technical staff who will be involved in the project. The alternatives include the hiring of a project coordinator by the RPBCWD or a joint powers group formed by the local units of government; use of a staff person from the cities or SWCDs; and use of Barr Engineering Company personnel. To ensure good cooperation and coordination between the various units of government, a steering or technical advisory committee may be desirable. The structure of such a committee could include representatives of the RPBCWD board of managers, city councils, and SWCD supervisors, or staff of each. A technical committee may also include representatives of the state and federal agencies involved in the project. It is important that the authority of such a committee be carefully outlined to minimize organizational problems. 12) What must be done? The MPCA is open to suggestions from the watershed district and other local units of government regarding an immediate strategy for getting the project off the ground; however, MPCA staff feel that the following steps are important in starting the project: -10- 1) The RPBCWD should direct Barr Engineering to take actions for initiating the project. . 2) A Substate Agreement outlining fiscal, planning, and implementation responsibilities should be drafted between the MPCA and the RPBC~~. 3) The RPBCWD or other local unit of government should develop and implement a plan for project coordination as soon as possible. 4) The organizational structure needed to implement the project should be outlined. Appropriate work agreements between the project participants should be drafted. 5) Development of a work plan should be begun to identify a plan of action for completing the project. A work plan should include a description of the project's history and background, goals and objectives; data needs; project management; project organization and agency responsibilities; implementation strategies; interagency work agreements; budget; and project schedule. If the information is not available at this time, the work plan should identify how and when it will be developed. .

Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55343 ...,. . , ,:.~. De'ar Sir: . . I would like to take time to present a cooperative pruposal for the intensive fisheries management of severai lakes in Chanhassen and Eden Prairie. _ ..._-_......1 The Riley Creek watershed offers a 'unique opportunity for intensive fisheries management in the Metro Region. There are five major water bodies involved in this watershed: Lucy Lake, Ann Lake, S~zan Lake, Rice Marsh Lake and Riley Lake. Riley is. the only lake that does not winterkill periodically. Generally, periodic winterkills tend to favor the development of large populations of rough fish such as carp and bullheads. These species are enhanced due to their ability to survive lower winter oxygen levels than most of our game species~ Carp and bullheads are also extremely prolific spawners, and 'are able to develope large populations in these relatively shallow fertile lakes in a short period of time. This usually cre~tes situations of poor angling due to low game- fish populations and other related problems such as poor water clarity, little rooted plant growth, and often an in- creased tendency for futher winterkill problems. Until development of systems capable of preventing winterkill, the fisheries management of such: lakes was hampered. Since the early 1970's there have been great strides in the develope- ment of aeration systems to prevent winterkill. In 1974 only one lake in tpe Metro Region was protected with an aeration device. In the winter of 1982-83 twenty six'(26) lakes had aeration devices.' Currently there are a number, of marketed systems which have proven effective. AN 'EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER (V April 25, 1983 Page Two . Lucy, Ann and Suzan Lakes have significant potential for intensive fisheries management including the use of aeration systems. Intensive fisheries management of these three lakes would require the following activities: 1. Isolation of the lakes to.prevent migration of undesirable fish species. This would be done through installation of proven fish barriers of the type known as high velocity culverts. 2. Adequate free public access. Guidelines call for boat accesses with a ramp, and parking places for 1 car/trailer combination for each 20 surface acres of water. , 3. Installation of winter aeration devices.. For the three lakes involved, it may be possible .to use only 2 devices; one on Suzan Lake and one on Ann Lake with a deepening of the channel connection between Lucy and Ann Lakes to allow fish movement from Lucy to Ann in the winter. 4. Chemical rehabilitation of the lakes utilizing a fish toxicant followed by restocking of game- fish species. . Rice Marsh Lake does not offer the opportunity for intensive fisheries management that the other lakes do. It's best potential is as a waterfowl lake. However, it must be con- sidered in the whole watershed plan since it may harbor, at least seasonally, undesirable fish populqtions. To conduct the whole watershed project it would be necessary to ch~ically treat the lake and isolate it from Riley Lake as well. Riley Lake isa permanent fish lake (i.e. no winterkill) currently b~ing managed as such at this time. An adequate access is present. Management plans currently include the purchase and developement of a fish barrier on Riley Creek between Riley Lake and the Minnesota River. Carp populations in Riley Lake are probably strongly influenced by Rice Marsh Lake which acts as a spawning and nursery area. In the intensive management plan for Riley Lake, isolation by fish barriers on Riley Creek downstream of the lake and on the creek between Rice Marsh Lake and Riley Lake are contemplated. With chemical rehabilitation, the entire watershed could be rid of carp. ~ . April 25, 1983 Page Three . The intensive fisheries management of the Riley Creek water- shed is both complicated and relatively expensive. The total project would involve: 1. A maximum of three fish barriers: a. downstream of Riley Lake. b. between Riley Lake and Rice Marsh Lake. c. between Suzan and Ann Lakes. 2. Provision for adequate public access on three lakes: a. Lucy Lake b. Ann Lake c. Suzan Lake 3. Installation of two (or possibly three) aeration devices: a. Suzan Lake b. Ann Lake with deepeDing of the creek from Lucy Lake to allow winter fish movement under low oxygen conditions. . 4. Chemical rehabilitation with fish toxicants of four (or possibly five) lakes: a. Lucy Lake - 125 acres. b. Ann Lake - 119 acres. c. Suzan Lake - 93 acres. d. Rice Marsh Lake - 310 acres. e. Riley Lake - 300 acres. The costs for such a project would not be the responsibility of the individual cities alone, but could be a cooperative venture with the State of Minnesota under various agreements~ 1. Fish barriers: the acquisition, developement and maintenance of the fish barriers would be the responsibility.of the Section of Fisheries. Where a suitable site may exist on property already owned by either city, an agreement may be reached to develope the barrier there if not at cross purposes to other park use. 2. Public access: the prov~s~on for public access develope- ment may possibly include cooperation with the Metro Region Trails and Waterways Unit and the cities involved. 3. Installation of aeration devices: a bill currently before the~State Legislature provides for a surcharge on fishing licenses for various fish management purposes. Among these purposes is the provision to monetarily assist locally interested parties in the installation of winter aeration devices. As of this writing this bill has not yet become law but is moving through both House and Senate. . . . ~ April 25, 1983 Page Four . 4. Chemical rehabilitation: the cost of chemical re- habilitation and restocking would be borne by the Section of Fisheries with some local assistance with fish clean-up, if necessary. A project of this scale could obviously not be done all at once. No doubt the project would have to be "staged" based on the availability of funds. The first stage would be determining the location of the barrier sites, and their developement. The accesses could be done as soon in the plan as possible, but should be done before the installation of aeration devices, and must be done before chemical rehab- ilitation. For several years the DNR has been looking into the barrier site developement on Riley Creek downstream of Riley Lake. .Various problems have arisen prohibiting its' installation, but a new effort has been initiated this spring to obtain and develope a suitable site. Aisde from this, and our normal management activities on these lakes, the only project con- templated in the near future will be the determination of other suitable barrier sites. A comprehensive, intensive fish management program can provide significant angling opportunities on lakes not now realizing their full productive potential. Recently water surface use studies (1979 & 1980) have included all but Rice Marsh Lake. Due to winterkills and limited access, fishing pressure has been lower than the Metro Region average for Lucy, Ann and Suzan Lakes~ Riley Lake was above avera~e. . Potenfial.

Since the three upstream most lakes presently have very light fishing use, it is apparent that a significantly improved angling situation can result from the management plan proposed. .. . . . . "lit . April 25, 1983 Page Five Intensive fish management could double fishing opportunities in the Riley Creek watershed. Over 33,000 hours of fishing could be provided between May 1 and September 30 of each year where less than 16,000 hours is being provided currently. The Department of Natural Resources wishes to work closely with the Cities of Chanhassen and Eden Prairie and the Riley- Purgatory Creek Watershed District in the implementation of this proposal. We would welcome all considerations and comments regarding the proposal. With the support of the area's citizens we can make this intensive management proposal into a reality to the benefit of all who are involved. Thank you for your time and interest. s~=. t X ~~.

Three winter adult recreational leagues were offered this year: broomball, volleyball and basketball. Three divisions of play, women's, men's and co-rec were offered in the broomball and volleyball leagues. Basketball was offered as a two-hour open gym period on Monday nights at the Chanhassen Elementary School gym. In order to publicize these new leagues, a brochure designed in-house and printed by Tonka Printing was mailed to all Chanhassen residents. Information was also printed in local papers and in the winter issue of the Park and Recreation brochure. . Organizational meetings were held on Thursday, December 10, 1987 at City Hall in the City Council chambers. Three team represen- tatives were present for the broomball meeting. Attempts were made to contact additional teams but a league could not be formed. Interest in basketball was higher with approximately thirty men attending representing six teams. The group's pre- ference was to form an organized men's league instead of playing open gym. The volleyball meeting proved to be the most success- ful with approximately 50 people attending, the majority of which came as couples. Ten co-rec teams were organized from the group meaning that the league would have to play both Thursday and Fri- day nights of each week. Both the basketball and volleyball leagues played their games at the Chanhassen Elementary School in the large gymnasium. League play started the first week in January and lasted nine weeks. League fees were established at $25.00 per team, which is com- paratively low for this type of program. However, this year's leagues were formed in order to get winter adult recreational programs off the ground, realizing that in future years it will be easier. The $25.00 figure was established to defer the cost of paying a gym supervisor and purchasing necessary equipment. Printing or postage costs were not considered. Lori Sietsema March 25, 1988 Page 2 The seasons proved successful for both leagues, with only one team dropping out in the volleyball league. Post-season tour- naments were held on Sunday, March 13 at the Chaska High School. The teams enjoyed meeting each other for these final games of the season. Comments from the participants were positive: many of the teams are already looking forward to next year. 1987/88 ADULT WINTER RECREATIONAL LEAGUES EXPENDITURES Kokesh Athletics Merlins Payroll $172.80 7.42 300.00 REVENUE League Fees $375.00 ($105.22) ADDITIONAL PROGRAM-RELATED EXPENDITURES Postmaster Tonka Printing $272.40 166.82 . . . .
