I am a resident of Lake Susan and I was calling regarding the waterski tournament that took place over the weekend. I just wanted to inform you of some of the situations that occurred on the lake. This is the third year the tournament has been there and we've never had a problem on the lake before; but this year the tournament took place and there was a little bit of controversy. The people running the tournament were telling people at the landing that they could not put their boats on, they wanted them to go to different lakes. I live on the lake and I was on the lake with my boat, and I was approached several times and they got very hostile telling me that ! was making too many waves on the lake and that I was interrupting their tournament. Now, it's my thought that this is a public lake and my boat is on the lake at all times and residents should be allowed to put their boats on. I just wanted you to be aware of some of the situations that happened. My number is 934-8977. Please give me a call, but I would sure like to address this issue because if it was up to the residents on the lake or anybody around there, they will not be issued a permit again. There's no way people can treat us like that. I don't like being flipped off when I go by in my boat, especially when I have four children in the boat. So please give me a call. I'd like to discuss this further with you. Thanks very much.

The commission unanimously supported the program, but would like a question clarified prior to making a recommendation to the city council. A few of the conunissioners noted that when $33,354 is divided by 308, the cost per "statistic" is $108.29. The commission is curious about what exactly the statistical numbers stand for and how they are tallied. Could you please prepare a response for the commission? Sincerely, Todd Hoffman Park & Recreation Director TH:k c: Scott A. Botcher, City Manager Park & Recreation Commission g:\park\th\perkins.doc This is Mary Perkins from West Hennepin Community Services. I received your letter and I am a little murky as to what the commission's questions are about the numbers. It says, "The cost per statistic is $108.29 and the commission is curious about what exactly the numbers stand for." We do account each quarter, so for example, during the winter quarter we had one Chanhassen resident participate. In spring there was another one. In the summer there were 4. In fall there were none and throughout the year there were two inclusions into general park and recreation programs who were Chanhassen residents. So that makes a total of 8 participation units. It is not unduplicated, so it could have been the same person that participated both winter and spring. The staff have to be hired, the program has to be planned, all of the activities associated with developing a program are expensed regardless of whether it's for the same person or for a different person because they are participating in a different program. Then we tally up the total at the end of the year and that tally gives you a percentage. So 8 people is 3% of the grand total of 308. So when you reduce the expenses by the fees and the base, then I multiply Chanhassen's percent (3%) times the remainder of 33,354. Hopefully that answers your question. If not, call me at 988-4177. 6-28-99 g:\park\th\perkins I .doc Page 1 of 1 Todd Hoffman From: To: Sent: Subject: Rodriguez, Bill <RodriguezB@uwmsp.org> <chpkdir@ci.chanhassen.mn.us> Tuesday, July 06, 1999 9:05 AM stone creek park Hello, Mr. Hoffman: According to the most recent issue of the Stone Creek Homeowners Association newsletter, if we don't e-mail you our support for completing the development of Stone Creek Park, there's a good chance it won't get done. So please accept this message as a strong request that Phase II, which includes equipment for older kids, be included in your next budget and completed. I'd like to also add that during the campaigning for the last referendum, there was extensive publicity about all the parks improvements that would be possible with new taxpayers' money. Stone Creek was clearly listed among the projects. I don't recall small type to the effect that maybe, just maybe, on second thought, the whole thing might be called off at a later date, even with passage of the referendum. It's a little concerning that we now have to contact your department --- feeling like tin-cup-in-hand --- to make sure that taxpayer dollars are in fact used in the way they were promised to be used. If I'm mistaken in my presentation of the facts, please let me hear from you. If I'm correct, however, perhaps more citizens, like me, need to get involved in seeing how the parks department is actually using our hard-earned money in keeping its promises and presentations.

I appreciate your interest in seeing that the Park's playground be expanded. Michael Howe, one of the city's Park and Recreation Commissioner, resides in your neighborhood. Mr. Howe keeps the commission informed about the number of families and young children in Stone Creek. The Summer Discovery Playground program at the park is most popular in the city. The appeal in your neighborhood newsletter to write letters in support of the playground expansion is a good message. The City operates thirty-two park sites and capital dollars are limited. Stone Creek Phase 11 Playground is programmed for installation in the department's five year budget plan. Letters of support are used as an indicator of need or desire during budget deliberations. Communication from residents can influence the timing of capital investments. To clarify a point addressed in your message, I offer the following: Stone Creek Park was included in the 1997 Referendum. The new park trail and bridge were identified improvements. The playground expansion was not a component of the referendum. Again, thank you for your interest in Stone Creek Park.

Stone Creek neighborhood harbors hundreds of children of all ages. Phase II is needed to accomodate the 7-12 year olds utilizing the park. Should this happen, two things would occur. We'd have healthier 7-12 year olds and we would have the Phase I equipment used primarily by younger children -- not children who are older and don't have age appropriate equipment to use. I urge you slate this important item for the upcoming budget. Thank you.

Quality of Life... it Matters in Carson City Carson City, Nevada, has enjoyed man- aged but steady growth over the past three decades. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 40 percent of the growth has come from migration of Californians. In many cases, Californians and transplants from other states have left their urban sur- roundings looking specifically for the benefits of small-town living. For most people in Carson City, it is the least populated city they have ever called home. It was this backdrop that provided the frame for a classic demonstration of citizen participation, issue identification, consensus build- ing, and ultimately empowerment for the community; and at the core of it all was quality of life. Growth Spurts Carson City was a community used to seeing double-digit percentage growth in every decade, going from a popula- tion of around 20,000 people in 1960 to one of more than 30,000 people in 1970, more than 40,000 in 1980, and past the 50,000 mark in the 1990s. The incorporated area of Carson City (a consolidated city/county government) covers just 146 square miles. When land controlled by the U.S. Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management is factored in, the land available for de- velopment is less than half this amount. In 1992, Carson City approved two major development projects, Silver Oak and Northridge. While the city has a growth management ordinance that limits growth to 3 percent of the existing housing-unit base, the com- mitment to projects that eventually would house thousands of new resi- dents became a focal point for key dis- cussions to come. Citizens and public officials were talking about land use in terms of the ultimate build-out of the community and the approval of the last major housing project Carson City could consider. In November 1993, Carson City embarked on a process that was even- tually to produce Question 18 on the election ballot in 1996. This process involved as many as 530 residents who took part in a Visual Preference Survey conducted by a consultant. The survey used slide presentations posing various site and land use concepts to elicit responses from participants on their likes and dislikes. The slide presenta- tions were made both in person and on a community-access TV channel on the local cable system. Attention to the survey work was promoted heavily in local newspapers and on the radio. A Quality Issue XNhat did people like about Carson City? Of the respondents, 71.5 percent said the quality of life. What was an important component of public policy? Land use, said 44.3 percent. Carson City's board of supervisors adopted the Visual Preference Survey results in September 1994. As a follow-up to the survey results, a communitywide strategic planning project called Capital City Focus was born. Focus groups, task force meet- ings, and town hall meetings were held. The Capital City Focus effort, which began in February 1995, pro- duced four building blocks that were incorporated into the community's master plan. "Quality of life" was the most of those four blocks. In December 1995, Jim Crain, open space director for Boulder, Colorado, was invited to present information on that community's efforts to preserve open space. Key public officials, citi- zens, and citizen committee members attended. Carson City's supervisors, planning commissioners, and mere- bers of the historic architecture review committee, the parks and recreation commission, and the shade tree coun- cil absorbed the information. The baton was passed to the parks and recreation commission to develop more specifics on the emerging quality of life/open space" issue. In January 1996, this commission used the open space element of the parks master plan as a springboard to develop action plans and funding potentials. City staff and citizen volunteers determined that a quarter-cent sales tax increase would provide the funding necessary to meet the goals of the quality-of-life agenda, an element of which would be a com- mitinent to open space. Other elements would be the need for trails, new park facilities, and maintenance of new parks. It was decided that there would be a 40/40/20 split of the revenue stream: 40 percent for trails and new park facilities, 40 percent for open space, and 20 percent for maintenance. The quality-of-life issue now had been defined, and the effort to convince voters was on. The citizens' committee formed to sell the ballot measure, the Quality of Life Committee, accepted every opportunity to tell its story. Its members were specific on how dollars would be used; they were specific on accountability of these dollars; they had a breadth of support; they had a variety of users of the parks and recreation system to speak on the benefits of Question 18. Question 18 Results In November 1996, Question 18 passed. No small achievement, given the voters' firm rejection of a school bond issue on the same ballot. Voters were obviously being selective with their dollars and had responded to the three-year planning effort that had developed the issues. In 1997, Carson City's supervisors appointed members to the newly formed open space com- mittee, delivering on a promise of accountability made during the cam- paign. Soon, supervisors will be adopt- ing the first open-space element of the city's master plan. So why did the measure pass? For a number of reasons: (1) there was credi- ble issue identification that solicited information from a large cross-section PUBLIC ~IANAGEMENT 27 of the community; (2) citizen and user participation was encouraged at every step along the way; (3) the specific pro- posals to voters were aligned with com- munity values; and (4) accountability and credibility issues were carried to the voters by citizens who represented the breadth of Carson City. Carson City residents have demon- strated that community pride, when properly' addressed and cultivated, can be a powerful tool to implement public policy questions that lead, yes, even to that most dreaded of outcomes, higher taxes. Because of the success of Question 18, generations of Carson City residents will be able to share in that pride well into the future. --John Berkich City Manager Carson City, Nevada City Giving Away Electricity To spark citizen awareness of electric competition and its impact on customers, Tallahassee, Florida (population 125,000), gave away $3,000 worth of free electricity to 30 residents. The city handed out 5,030 lightbulb-shaped refrigerator magnets to adults at its Winter Festival, which attracts more than 150,000 people. Thirty specially marked magnets invited the winners to receive $100 of "free electricity" by calling the city and bringing in the magnet. Winners received $100 off their electric bills between February and April 1998. Source: Ideas in Action: A Guide to Local Government Innovation, copyright 1998, published by ICMA, Washington, D.C.
