... Preparing all learners
to achieve their
personal best
May 13, 2002
Dear Facility Advisory Committee Member,
As valued participants throughout District 112's Master Facility Planning process, you know that
the timeline anticipated School Board adoption of a Master Plan for the year 2014 in June 2002.
This letter and enclosures will bring you up to date on activities that have continued since you last
met and provided input on April 8:
.
·
· Using your input from April 8, community input, CAREI research, and demographic
pr0iections, two draft Facility Plan Models ('white' and 'green') were shared at a large
Community Meeting on April 23 to receive feedback from a cross-section of stakeholders.
Essentially, the two models differ in how middle and high school levels are addressed; early
childhood and elementary levels are the same in both.
Summaries of input from April 23 have been shared with the School Board.and.
Administrative Team who have continued to refine facility plan models.
P. ased on input froni April 23, revisions were made to .both the 'white' and 'green' models
and presented to the School Board during a work session on May 2 (copies enclosed).
After lengthy discussion, the Board determined that it needed more time to study options at
the secondary level, especially ways to configure high school.
During their regular May 9 rneeting, the Board directed the Administration to prepare a
revised process and timeline to be presented to the Board later this spring.
Due to the new timeline, Public Hearings on the Master Facility Plan, originally scheduled
for May 20 and 22, have been cancelled.
With an extended process and timeline, a Master Facility Plan will not be adopted in June as
originali~ scheduled. My'highest priority'iS to bring forward a Master Fa~:ility Plan that.
represents well the community's preferred future for learners and that is also fiscally responsible.
It is likely that District 112 will take several more months to accomplish this with the
community's help. For information about new developments, please check our web-site at
district112.org or contact Betsy Chase, Director of Planning & Organizational Improvement, at
952-556-6241.
Again, my gratitude for your time and deep thinking about future facilities that will advance
District 112's mission: To prepare all learners to achieve their personal best.
Sincerely,

Short-term, creative solutions will be needed at both the elementary and high
school levels to accommodate student enrollment prior to opening new schools in
2005, 2006 and 2007.
The grade organization of PreK-K, 1-5, 6-8, and 9-12 serves students well. Other
grade configurations will be used to adjust for ever-changing student populations
and to provide the best learning environment available every year.
3. Targets for the year 2014 reduce class size by 2 in grades 4 - 8.

The community's desire for smaller class sizes results in lower building
capacities/school sizes.
Schools built in a house/cluster model enhance educators' ability to achieve the
benefits of smaller schools through research-based instructional program delivery
State of Minnesota maintains a commitment to funding lower class size at the
elementary level.
Facilities will continue to be designed and built with maximum current and future
flexibility of school and community use ~n mind.
New elementary schools will be built with one larger classroom per cluster to
allow for future flexible use.
As enrollment declines, capture two classrooms per elementary to meet space
needs of extended day programs and services.
10. District 112 is open to all community partnerships to achieve this.Master Facility
Plan and needed community spaces, fields, etc.
11. The December 2001 Demography Report by Dr. Barbara Lukermann was used to
project future student enrollments in this plan.
12. If District 112 moves to large scale implementation of all-day kindergarten,
facility needs will increase.

Re.'
Update on Seminary Fen Project
On behalf the project partners, I want to let you know how much we
appreciate your leadership on this project. As the bonding conference
committee continues its work I wanted to provide you with a progress
report on the Seminary Fen proposal, and to request your help in
maintaining the high level of support for the project as a priority in
the bonding bill.

Options Secured. The Conservation Fund has secured an option with
the landowners for the 160 acres, including Seminary Fen. It is a 60
day option with an option to extend it for an addition 90 days for $2
million. The initial 60 day option expires on May 25, 2002 at which
time we hope to transfer the option to the DNR for acquisition. The
DNR has sent a letter of intent to The Conservation Fund outlining
the procedure for acquiring the property.
Appraisals Completed. The two appraisals on the property are now
completed. These were done by DNR approved appraisers. One
appraised the property at $2 million and the other at $3 million.
Good deal for the State. The partners working on this project have
put together a package that is a bargain for the state. With the options
and appraisals in hand, we are ready to move the project to the next
level. We are asking for $1.5 million in bonding to assist with the
acquisition and our partners are putting in an additiOnal $500,000, of
which $300,000 has been identified.
Project Significance. Despite rumblings from the Governor's office
about vetoing local projects, the Seminary Fen project shoUld survive
due to its possessing both regional and state significance.
The Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 calls for calcareous fen
protection and requires management strategies to be developed to
improve or maintain calcareous fens. The Assumption Creek
watershed supports the Seminary Fen complex, the highest quality
calcareous fen in the metro area. It was ranked as one of the highest
priority sites identified by the Minnesota County Biological Survey
in Carver, Hennepin and Scott Counties. It supports 5 state
threatened plant species and 3 special concern plant species.
The need for the Legislature to act on this project during the 2002
session is urgent. Development ~ressures are significant in this area
of Carver Count~ ' we are not aole to protect tills property through

acquisition a unique and rare treasure will be lost.
Assumption Creek is a DNR designated trout stream, supporting one
of the only naturally reproducing native brook trout stream in the
Twin Cities Metro Area.
The wetlands and bluffs were mapped by the Minnesota County
Biological Survey as significant native plant communities. The City
of Chanhassen has included the area in their Bluff Creek plan as an
area worthy of protection.
Other Efforts. There are ongoing efforts in the watershed to bring
local residents together with state and local government staff to
develop protection strategies for Seminary Fen and Assumption
Creek.
The Lower Minnesota River Watershed District has been working
with project partners to involve local landowners in the development
of a Stewardship and Protection Plan for Seminary Fen and
Assumption Creek. This project has been funded through the DNR
Metro Greenway Planning Grant program.
The Friends of the Minnesota Valley are leading an effort to work
with property owners in the bluff area through the DNR
Neighborhood Wilds program to identify area of significance and
develop management plans for those lands.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions or need
additional information. Again, thank you for your leadership.

Dear City Administrator Gerhart:
Carver County will move its Public Safety Answering Point (Sheriff's Dispatch Center) from the current
location in the County Administration Building to a facility in the SheritT's area of the Justice Center in
Chaska. This move is scheduled to occur on Tuesday, May 14, 2002.
Services to the public, law enforcement, fire and medical responders in the County will not be interrupted.
The County 9-1-1 operation and control for the County's existing radio system will be moved to the new
center. This move will prepare the County to move from its exiting VHF law enforcement and public
works radio system to a Carver County Subsystem on the new 800 MHz Metropolitan Radio System. The
law enforcement and public works functions are expected to fully move to the new radio system on June
25, 2002.
Please note that if you have lan, enforcement officers or community service personnel who need to
communicate with the Sheriff's dispatch center via radio, they must procure radios to communicate
on the new 800 MHz radio system prior to June 25, 2002.
The fire services of the County are expected to begin using the new 800 MHz radio system on February 14,
2003. The County will continue to use existing VHF frequencies for paging the fire departments and for
activating the outdoor warning sirens around the county for the foreseeable future.
The address and telephone numbers for the dispatch center will not change as a result of this move.
If you have any questions about the dispatch center move, feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
..,

Dear Mary Ann:
I would like to personally recognize you for the achievements you have
attained over the last 7 years while employed with the City of Chanhassen.
Mary Ann, under your leadership the City's dance program matured into a
wonderful recreation program benefiting hundreds if not thousands of local
families. I cannot begin to understand the level of personal commitment you
made to the program over the years. Your dedication is unprecedented and
certainly worthy of praise.
As you carry out preparations for your final dance recitals, please know that I
will be thinking of you and praying for your success. I am unable to attend
your open house and the recitals due to prior commitments associated with my
brothers wedding. Jerry Ruegemer, Recreation Superintendent will be
representing the City at your upcoming open house.
Again, thank you for making "Dance for Fun" such a success in Chanhassen!

Re: Sump Pump Hose Discharge Location- Project No. 96-21
Dear Mr. Simpson:
Recently, the city has received a number of complaints regarding wet, slippery
conditions on the easterly trail adjacent to Powers Boulevard. Upon an inspection
of the identified area, it appears the wet, slippery spots are due to resident sump
pump hoses lying over the top of the berm and discharging water across the trail.
City ordinance states that sump pump discharge location and flow shall be
consistent with the approved development drainage plan. The ordinance also
states that discharge may not be pumped directly onto any public right-of-way.
In reviewing the project development plans, there appears to be a drainage swale
between the homes and the above-mentioned berm to allow drainage to flow north
to Lake Susan Hills Drive. There also exists an underground drainage pipe at
Lake Susan Hills Drive that drains directly to the storm sewer system. This was
provided by the developer for this sort of situation.
Therefore, please notify the town home association residents of the situation at
hand, specifically those residents adjacent to Powers Boulevard.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

RE: Meeting Cancellation
Todd,
Thanks for letting me know. I thought I would give you an update on all the items I have been working on the last couple
weeks, since I missed last weeks meeting.
Cass Lake-Bena High School Band - We had a total attendance of 42 seniors. Thanks for all your help! The band
played for 1/2 hour and then ate lunch with the seniors. Everyone enjoyed the program.
Joint Men's & Women's Club Meeting - Melissa Breshon spoke on Monday, April 29th. There were 20 seniors present.
Joint Senior Advisory Board Meeting with Eden Prairie Senior Center - We met last Wednesday with the Eden Prairie
and sat in on their SAB meeting and then toured their facility. Very informative. We exchanged ideas and discussed
upcoming events that we may be able to coordinate together.
Toured the Carric Manor Facility on Tuesday, April 30th. This facility is a shared living enviroment for people over 60.
Ali residents recieve 24 hour caregiving. Residents either have frail health, mild memory loss or both. Carric Manor
owns 3 townhomes in Johnathan (Kingswood Drive, Chaska). Carric Manor brings residents to the Chan. Senior Center
for Sat. Specials and other special events. I expect to have 10 - 13 people from Carric Manor for the Lake Ann Picnic at
the end of the month.
I left a message with the Arthritis Foundation to send me information regarding the certification program for aqua aerobic
~nstructors. I also requested a list of possible aqua aerobic instructors in the area. It sounds like there are several codes
that Americ Inn would need to meet if we offered a aqua aerobics class through the Arthritis Foundation. Example: water
depth, water temperature, needs to be handicapped accessible, pool needs to be a certain size, etc. I will give you an
update once I receive this information.
Carver County Senior Expo - There was a record high of 331 seniors in attendance. The Chanhassen Senior Center had
a booth with a variety of trip/activity flyers, housing information, transportation information and of course door prizes!
The Expo was a huge success! I had the opportunity to speak to the Chanhassen Fitness Center, River Gables
Apartments (new Chaska senior Housing building), Senior Federation, SAIL (Senior Agenda for Indendent Living) and
Carver County Social Services. All of these programs want to collaborate with the Senior Center. I am in the process of
working with them all.
MASS (Minnesota Assocation of Senior Services) Conference - Attended the MASS conference on Thursday, April 18th
in Burnsville. Really enjoyed it! Topics of the day were Saftey Camp for Seniors, Dealing with Grief and Loss, and
Generational Changes the Senior Centers face. Had the opportunity to speak with the Chaska Community Center,
Victoria Parks & Rec., and Chaska Community Education.
Beth Hosieth and I are coordinating a Senior Saftey Camp for this upcoming fall.. ~tg: Potts, Mark Littfin and Victoria
Park and Rec. have currently expressed interest in planning this evenL'.We are ;~(~ing'to meet next week Tuesday, May
14th at 11:00am.
Wednesday, May 1st a group of Girl Scouts met with 10 seniors to hand-out May baskets and sang.
April 24th - 35 seniors attended the 4 hour defensive driving course. I am going to offer this program every other month
due to the popularity.
~ll,%Tommorrow I have a welome coffee program and a SAB meeting. Hope your having a great day!!~.

Egosystem da0aaeed
There is not enough resource management; resources suffering
ATV's are in park, damaging park and Rush River outside of park. River is more shallow,
Erosion due to horse and ATV use
Landowners are concerned about natural resources of park as well as their own land
Park,.is poorly maintained
Road' is not well maintained, grass is disappearing, garbage, flood damage
Park has a neglected appearance--not a good example of a State Park and hurts community pride
Vandalism is common; not enough enforcement
Not enough pressure to deter vandals and enforce trail use
Solutions suggested by citizens attending the meeting: Education:
Design kiosks, signs, brochures to educate public about proper use, especially horse use
On-site enforcement
Need to keep ATVs out and to enforce rules with stiff fines
Coordination between Sibley County and DNR on enforcement (each one says call the other)
Solicit help of volunteers to patrol and report
Active resource mana~,ement
For vegetation
Define carrying capacity of unit for various uses
Appropriate uses of unit
Re-evaluate and define
Better boundary oostin~ & si£na~e
Other Discussion:
What are the appropriate uses for a unit? Should there be horse trails here? If there are, is it
possible to control and enforce? Steep hills don't lend themselves to some uses.
What connection does this unit have to a birding trail?
The natural quality of the Minnesota Valley should be maintained as a priority over use.
Should unit be a state park? Yes, because it would have maintenance and enforcement.
Local community should form an advisory grouP.
Group 2: (facilitated by Nancy Albrecht)
Concerns raised Dy Citizens attending the meeting: ' '
Enforcement
Not enough enforcement at Rush River compared, to the nearby WMA
Free-for-all?
Lack of personnel (1 Sheriff for all of County)
Citizens have experienced non-responsive personnel at DNR State Park office/DNR in general
Ed ,ucation.
Frustration that DNR (C.O.) did not know about Rush River Wayside (when called) or had even
heard of, so citizen called County and Sheriff
Run-down:
Not mowed enough
Bathrooms not clean
Roads are not drive-able, inadequately maintained
Campsites not designated
Teenagers drinking & damaging park infrastructure
Lack of financial resources to maintain it
Neither the county nor the township wants to keep maintaining the road
Lack of coordination between the state, county and township
Lack of boundary markings to clearly define park
Future issues:
The park has been discovered by outsiders; the pressures on it are likely to only increase in the
future
Question Regarding ATV use: If an ATV is running alongside the Rush River, at what point is it
trespassing (if the adjacent lands are private).
Answer from DNR Information Center: If they're out of the water, they're trespassing, regardless of the ·
changing width of the river. If they're in the river (wet), they're not trespassing. High water mark, etc.,
does not apply to this situation.
· **If you want to report a violation in progress call the State Patrol Dispatcher at: 507-389-1172.
Actions
suggested by Citizens attending the meeting:
Designate the Rush River Unit as a DNR (State Park) unit
Someone needs to take responsibility for .managing the park. It makes sense to operate this unit as
an independent state park with people stationed there. Internal communications at DNR need to be'
improved so those that answer the phones know that this is a DNR (State Park) unit
Increase the funding for appropriate maintenance
Charge the users a user fee and/or require a permit
Charge camping fees
Provide adequate enforcement
Photograph abuses
Is it possible to use Citizen groups to assist DNR with enforcement, maintenance?
Find a way so that enforcement people can communicate via radios when in the valley (like build
a tower on adjacent land?)
Increase the fines
Educate the visitors/users
Citizens support writing authorities: legislators, administration
Designate official trails and post them
Evaluate de factc trails and figure out what the land can .~upport
3/29/02
nja
Get oeoole engaged in natural resource stewardship
Involve young people from the surrounding communities in the maintenance and care for the park
Organize a park advisory group or a parks friends group
***The Next Citizen Advisory C~mmittee meeting Will be held in the Henderson area
approximately 4-6 weeks from now. Ali participants will be advised by mail with a two week
notice. ***

CITY OF CHANHA$SEIV
A Brief Overview of the History of the Mn Valley State Recreation Area:
The trail was authorized in 1969 by the State Legislature. It is authorized to run fi.om the confluence of the
Mississippi and Minnesota Rivers (in Fort Shelling State Park) upstream to LeSueur. In 1976, the
Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge was established by the US Congress. In 1984, the General
Management Plan for the Refuge, the Trail and the state waysides was completed. In the early 1990's the
State Legislature renamed the trail and waysides as the Minnesota Valley State Recreation Area.
The U.S.F.W.S. ,is currently revising the general management plan for the Minnesota Valley National
Wildlife Refuge. It will be called the Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) for the unit. The State
decided to revise the management plan for the SRA at the same time and this is part of that process.
The SRA planning process started formally with two open houses that were held in Henderson and in St.
Paul in December of 2000. The f~t Citizen Advisory Committee meeting was held in April of 2001. Since
that time, we have been meeting every other month or so. Al~er the f~t three initial meetings, we divided
the interested participants into three working groups: one to focus on the Bloomington area, one to focus on
interpretation along the whole corridor, and one to focus on the SRA from Belle Plaine south. At this point
in time, the Bloomington group has made its recommendations and'Is waiting for the interagency technical
team to catch up, the interpretive group is focusing on "themes" and the BP South group is waiting on
detailed maps from DNR in order to advise on potential trail alignments
The focus for this meeting was the Rush River Unit, just outside of Henderson. The history of this unit:
originally 160 acres was donated to the county and then additional pieces were added (donated) to make it a
Sibley County.park. The land was then transferred to the State as a wayside when the trail was planned. It
is currently the southernmost wayside of the Mn Valley SRA; the nearest manager is stationed just outside
of Jordan, at the Lawrence Wayside. Due to budget constraints, the State has contracted with Sibley County
to do the trash removal and mowing ($4,000/year). Current allowable uses of the park include overnight
camping, picnicking and trail use by hikers and horseback riders. No state park permit is required for
entrance and there are no camping fees.
At the beginning of the meeting, several citizens expressed questions and concerns about the management
of the unit. In order to get those concerns out and addressed, the participants were divided into two
discussion groups to list their concerns and issues and to suggest ways to ~dd,"ess those concerns.
Question: if we look at expansion of the trail and the Rush River Unit, will the DNR be taking land out of
private ownership?
Answer: the DNR has authority to purchase landfl-om willing sellers within the statutory boundaries of the
waysides. The statutory boundary is the one established by the Legislature when the unit was authorized.
The DNR currently owns less than half of the acreage within the Rush River statutory boundary. Regarding.
purchasing tracts of land for the trail, the DNR has the authority only to buyfl'om willing sellers.
Group I (facilitated by Judy Thomson):
Issues raised by Citizens attending the meeting:
Horse use---should it be allowed? Is it suitable for riding---yes? no?
Rush River crossingsgsteep hills don't lend themselves well to horses
Horse users are damaging private property and parklands
There are deep ruts and erosion
Horse users don't want trails if it damages the resources
Eden Prairie couldn't keep people on trails so now do not allow horse use
Liability for the adjacent landowners and the state
Responsible horse riders adhere to rules but have difficulty knowing where to go and where not to
Horse use discourages other uses
Boundaries are not well marked
Trespassing users have no regard for private property adjacent to park
Trails are user made (volunteer trails)
Trail maintenance is lacking resulting in resource damage
Are birding trails possible?
Designated trails not well marked
People are usimt the park improperly
Can we (the State) control people? Enforce rules? .
Turning areas not adequate
Is there enough capacity for overnight camping? Number of sites?
Lack of maintenance encourages vandalism

I like to dance, read, shop the antique and thrift stores for treasures,
and finding a good auction is always fun. I like to decorate my home
for holidays & special occasions, with Christmas and Halloween
being my favorites. I just need to learn how to tone down my
