Widin Cc: Tom Ozzello; Eric Johnson; Public Works; Mark Robertson Subject: Tree removal in Valley View Park yon Dr. Kathy Widin » Andrew Kegley Tom Ozzello, Eric Johnson Datec 3/113/2009 RM Valley View playground Equipment Replacement/Tree removal If you are unaware, city staff leas started the process of seeking approval to replace outdated and worn playground equipment at Valley View Park. With the replacement of old play structures, will be some minor excavation and perhaps reshaping of the currant polygon border. , f "he 1'.W. staff is requesting a meeting at the park to discuss the possibility of removing up to seven (7) trees that lie directly within the play area. Staff recommends rean3oviDg the trees for several reasons including safety, maintenance, storm damage prevention and atheistic. Safety Reasons-. With several large trees located directly within the play area, substantial sized fallen branches are found scattered in the bounds of the polygon. Thankfully staff has not had any reports of injury due to Callen branches as of this date. Staff also views exposed roots as a trip hazard that could be remedied during the construction process. Maintenance Reasons. Staff has previously spent considerable time maintaining the sand base; by clearing fallen twigs and leaves. It is far too difficult to keep up with nature's process. Under the sand are layers of semi decomposed leaves and twigs that were not removed. Staff understands with a wood -chip base (proposed in the bid specifications) the decomposition process may be expedited, and may expedite the decomposition of the base as well. 4-/14/2009 Page 2 of 2 Storm Damage Prevention: Several trees appear to be leaning over the play structures. A severe storm could fall the trees, thus damaging any play structure in its path. Should the base of the tree remain in a. storm event, the possibility exists that a large fallen branch could cause equal damage. Atheistic Improvement Aside from the safety, maintenance, and prevention reasons for removing the trees within the playground polygon, staff views the construction phase as a suitable opportunity to improve the atheistic. By removing trees the useable play area will be increased thus increasing the amount of options for various configurations of the new play equipment. With the absence of trees directly in the playground polygon, maintenance of keeping leaves and twigs clear of the mulch may also be more manageable. This will improve the overall "maintained look" of the play area. Andy Kegley 651.7754759 (W) 651.334.5140 (P) andykegleyOq comcast,net (P) 4/14/2009 This Page Is Left Intentionally Blank.

The Mature and nurnbor of parks along with the area covered by our parks and trails present some difficult scenarios for security of persons and facility's. Since that tine I have resca the concept and possible products to assist lls with this. The implementation of a SeClll'it)' 111011itOring SystCll) would be a benefit to the Ci park sy5tc111. The Darks incur vandalism and unwanted afterhouls activity, Law cllforccil)c- It response and patrol is limited duo t(7 the alm ays increasing demands for our time in many areas of the city. We have n seen serious criminal activity ill our parks With tl)(, patrol C11011 OU I)Ol1CC°, (101),11 tn)(nt provides; howovcr this, is not a gu arante , for the future. The implementation of a camera system may help in deterring as well as idendfica €ion and apprehension of suspect activity. The technology of digital photography has seen greater and greater use it) all areas with the increaseci ease of use. Some of the limitations for us include; Iinlited plan hours for monitoring and maintenance of the ecpuipnlcnt, limited technical ability of those man hours, large areas of pads al trails spread across the city. One compally in particular has ,solicited the city for their response to those issues with a product they feel will meet those needs. The product is in the Attached literature, and is Q••Stai• Technology, I looked at their product and features as well as attempting to Fined others of similar features. I was unable to find other products designed with the .features desirable for our needs that are provided by the Q -Star product. I also looked at the over the counter style digital trail cameras a in alternative and significantly reduced price tag. In reiscarclling the products I came to some opinions as to case of use and practicality. The over the counter products, while being significantly less expensive, arc limited in this application for use. They have been developed for photographing animak at relatively closc range, They are limited to rnamial re;trie N of images which would rccluire Milting the unit clown each time to recover the images. The units do provide for compact size making it easy to set iap in remote locations. The specially designed product comes at a very significant price. The product does offer many features that make the product viable for long term and frequent use. The long terns and frequent use adds to the deterrent ability of these systems. The unit records at a high pixel count to aid in enhancing the image for use in identification and evidence, `Ilse unit comes with a customizable auditory announcement. The unit has wireless downloading of the images to allow the unit to be placed for extended periods. 1be unit is designed for extended range imaging. The mounting brackets can be installed in various locations ahead of time, I have attached documentation of a sample of over the counter designs and the specially designers equipment. I encourage you to review the material, visit the Q -Star web site, and others if you are able to find them. If this is something you wish to look into further, or from the information provided wish to go ahead with a recommendation please let nee know. The budgeting is not available from within the police department budget for purchase of these items. Any recommendation for purchase would have to include the budgeting source. If you decide this is something the city should invest in I would be happy to continue to work with the prQject. If you are seriously interested in the Q -Star or similar device that you may find, 1. would recommend attempting to obtain a "loaner 1 demo" unit to further evaluate the equipment prior to purchase.

Here is a littie more information on the FlashCAM vandalism prevention system, and your quote is on the way Our systems DETER graffiti and vandalism with a VOICE MESSAGE that startles the vandals, and it does so without the expense of monitors and wasted false alarms. They are SOLAR POWERED, which makes them highly portable, no hardwiring required. The photos are HIGH RESOLUTION, 12 megapNel photos which can take identifiable photos at up to 250 ft, in Total Darkness. And they can be retrieved wirelessiy. There is an interesting article about arson prevention in our attached newsletter. The "California Tagger" was stopped in his tracks, and was ID'd. Most of the time, the graffiti issue is solved in the area our cameras are installed, Commerce City, CO is using 4 cameras at a acre baseballiskate park. (Photos attached). It was getting tagged regularly. They put up our cameras and it stopped immediately, They've used our systems all summer and are very happy with the results. There's nothing else like FlashCAM on the market. There are no officers, or guards committed to these areas. The camera does the work, saving you from overtime costs spent monitoring or cleaning up after the fact. This is a lint to -a story in Kileen, TX that describes how effectively our cameras are being used In other cities around the country. h tp!//www. /cont / your news /do fault. asp ?Ar1D 200 1_5 . 6 (clickon "watch the video ", underneath the picture of the camera).
