Public Information Gathering Meeting for Lake Lucy Public
Access
The City Council recently approved a resolution making a commit-
ment to obtaining public access on Lakes Lucy and Susan. The
Council assigned these projects to the Park and Recreation Com- .
mission. As a result of this direction, the commission will be
holding public meetings to gather information on potential access
sites for each lake. The Lake Lucy information meeting will be
held on Tuesday, July 26th at 7:30 p.m. in the City Council
Chambers at City Hall.
Background
The City was recently notified by the Riley-Purgatory-Bluff
Creek Watershed District that a Lake Riley chain of lakes clean
up project was approved by the Minnesota Pollution Control
Agency (PCA). This million dollar project will be funded pri-
marily by the PCA (sO%) and the DNR (sO%).
The lakes involved in the clean up are Lakes Lucy, Ann, Susan and
Riley. Before any work or money can be spent, it is both DNR
and PCA policy that public access be available on all lakes
involved.
As the Council feels this is an important project and a unique
opportunity to improve the water and fishing quality of our
lakes, they have made a commitment to obtain access on the lakes
currently without access, i.e. Lakes Lucy and Susan.
Your input on this item would be greatly appreciated. If you
have any questions, or need additional information, please con- .
tact me at 937-1900.

SUBJ: Site Selection Objectives for Southern Park Acquisition
.
Last spring, Councilman Boyt walked us through a decision-making
process. The process involves; 1) making a decision statement,
2) establishing objectives, 3) classifying objectives, 4)
generating alternatives, and 5) making comparisons and selection
(see attached).
Jim Mady has started this process to get us going. Your assign-
ment (should you choose to accept it), is to come up with your
idea of a decision statement and objectives. This will be a
brainstorming session, so do not critique your ideas yet.
At the meeting we will pool our statements and make a group deci-
sion on how it should read, then objectives will be listed and
selected. Our last task will be to classify each of the selected
objectives as needs or wants.
This may be an ambitious schedule, but I believe if we each do
our homework before the meeting, we will get much accomplished.

Dear Councilmembers,
.
I am writing to express my appreciation and that of
many other residents for the outcome of the July 11
meeting regarding Greenwood Shores Park.
This meeting renewed our faith in government. With
all of the cynacism regarding politicians these days,
it's refreshing and comforting to know that there
are still some who are willing to listen to the people.
To those of you who listened---my hat is off to you:
I hope that you continue to do so in the future.
You deserve our votes. After all, isn't that what
democracy is all about?
Sincerely,
~~

Dear Ms. Infanger:
Thank you for your recent letter regarding parking fees at Lake
Ann Park.
The Park and Recreation Commission and City Council are con-
sidering the elimination of the parking fees altogether. Because
of the impact this would have on the budget, such was not
possible without reducing programs. A phased approach gives the .
City time to switch revenue sources without eliminating existing
programs.
The parking fee, however, is enforced through the 1988 season.
The City requires that all park users be charged the parking fee.
This is not a new policy; the gate attendants did not start until
after Memorial Day, therefore, park users were not charged the
parking fee before that time.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at
937-1900.
Sincerely,
/-tJIJ SuJ~

SUBJ: Outcome of Meeting Concerning Future Use of the Indoor
Ice Arena
.
On Tuesday, July 19, a meeting was held at Chanhassen City Hall
to discuss the future of the building which houses the Chanhassen
Indoor Ice arena. Individuals present included Richard Larson of
the Chaska/Chanhassen Hockey Association, Clayton Johnson of
Bloomberg Companies, Larry Schroers, Lori Sietsema, and myself.
For the past three years, the ice arena has been leased from
Bloomberg Companies by the City of Chanhassen. The Park and
Recreation Department then operated the rink, charging a fee for
ice time. Bloomberg Companies received fifty percent of the
gross receipts as payment for the use of the building. The
amount of money paid Bloomberg has been minimal, never amounting
to over $2,000.
This year it has become necessary for Bloomberg Companies to look
to utilizing the building for operation of the Dinner Theatre
Scene Shop, which originally occupied the space. This shifting
of location has become necessary with the development of the
downtown area. Hooked on Classics is being forced to vacate to
allow for the development of the downtown hotel. They are sche-
duled to move into the old lumber yard building behind Merlin's
Hardware where the Scene Shop is presently located. Thus, the
Scene Shop is displaced creating a need for a new location.
.
Mr. Johnson stated that it is the position of the Bloomberg
Companies to either reclaim use of this building or receive rent
in the amount of $2.00 to $3.00/sq. ft. According to Mr. Larson,
the Hockey Association is not in a position to pay that high of
rent, but may be able to make some kind of offer if some finan-
cial backing was available from the City. Rent of $l.OO/sq. ft.,
for example, would amount to an annual cost of $9,000. A deadline
for reaching rental agreement or agreeing to move out was set at
August 31, 1988. At present, Mr. Larson's exploring what amount
of financial obligation can be met by the Hockey Association. He
will then be contacting the Park and Recreation Department to
discuss our next step.

Dear Lori:
Attached is a summary of Canada goose removal for the Twin Cities in
1988. We captured and removed 123 birds (81 young and 42 adults)
from Lake Lucy and Lake Minnewashta in three drives. Detailed .
information on each site is also included, pllus the results of our
surveys of lake Ann, Lake Susan, and Marsh-Rice Lake.
The reduction of has not been what I predicted based the results in
Golden Valley, Lake of The Isles, etc.. There apparently are enough
birds breeding in the general area to fill in many the nest sites left
vacant by our removals. I still believe we will be able to achieve
significant reductions as the number of breeding geese declines, but
it going to take a bit longer than expected.
A statement of our charges is enclosed.
Thanks.
Sincerely yours,
~\. /'
