Please advise me as to what date the City selects for the annual Party -in- the -park. Brekke Park: • Wednesday, 21�t aY P Sunday, May 16th Tuesday and Wednesday, June 22n and 23rd Wednesday, July 28th Sunday, August 29 Valley View Park: Wednesday, June 2nd Sunday, June 13 Saturday, June 19 Saturday, June 26 Saturday, July 17th Sunday, July 18 Saturday, August 7th Sunday, August 8th Let me know if you have any questions. TREE CITY U.S.A. To: Council Members • From: David Beaudet Subject: Fire Protection Date: 03 -12 -99 The purpose of this memo is to advise you of my findings as to the possibility of revising building code the allow negotiations with city staff to allow for building modifications that help both parties reach their goals. I have sat in on this type of arrangement in dealing with the City of Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Club. The process allows for adjustments within codes to achieve the safety goals of the city and allows building owners to modify a building without bringing it up to current standards. In the case of Stillwater Motors the cost of the new paint booth installed is $150,000. Under the current city ordinances prior to the installation of this equipment the entire building would require a sprinkler system. The cost to Stillwater Motors to sprinkle is in the ballpark of $600,000. The building, as it current stands with an existing paint booth is not required to be sprinkled under the current or proposed ordinance. To allow the building owner the paint booth the compromise might look like this. A 4 hour • fire wall construction to separation from room with paint booths to the rest of the building. In the next five years this bay is to have a sprinkler system installed and as the rest of the building is remodeled sprinkle piping would be installed in the building. After 12 years the entire building is to be sprinkled. I believe it is in the best interest of the city that this building be sprinkled, its complete in 12 years. The building owner has a new paint booth. The special fire provisions to the city ordinances were adopted several years ago. The city has forced owners of buildings without sprinkler systems to install these systems in order to add space or paint booths to their buildings . I do not believe that city staff, after forcing building owners to comply, will recommend changing the past practices of the city to allow a negotiated process. I recommend that the city adopt the latest version of this fire protection ordinance, the one option under this fire protection ordinance is storage building size and when fire protection is required. Under the current ordinance, all storage buildings larger storage than 2000 square feet must be sprinkled (4000 square feet is the other option). To keep the rules consistent we should adopt 2000 feet. • • Memo To : Parks Commission City of Oak Park Heights From: Katharine D. Widin 3/11/99 Municipal Arborist Re: Proposed Prairie Restoration Project (bike trail behind City Hall) The Community Development and Parks Departments for the City of Oak Park Heights are considering applying for a Conservation Partners grant from the Minn. Dept. of Natural Resources to restore the remnant prairie area along the bike trail behind City Hall. This area is a former prairie degraded over the years by grazing, soil compaction and power line and trail construction. It still contains some native prairie plants and more may become evident after burning. Last summer prairie wildflowers and grasses were seeded along the bike trail in the area disturbed by trail construction. Restoring the rest of the prairie area would require selective herbicide applications and burning to eliminate woody and weed species which have invaded the area. After soil preparation, locally collected prairie wildflower and grass seed would be sown in the area, matching plants to areas of differing soil moisture. The seeding would then have to followed in subsequent years with further selective herbicide applications, possibly some mowing and then burning every few years to maintain the area in prairie. The prairie could also be supplemented in later years with seed or seedlings planted by community volunteers. The prairie restoration would have several results: 1. it would restore a remnant prairie area with native plants, • eliminating invasive plant species and increasing plant diversity and wildlife habitat, 2. it would greatly enhance the beauty of this part of the bike trail which is a natural oasis in the midst of a residential area, 3. it would carry the theme of natural resource conservation from Valley View Park further through Oak Park Heights, and this theme could eventually be extended through the whole east -west corridor of the city. The Conservation Partners grant program could give the city the opportunity to carry out this project. OPH received a CP grant from the DNR in 1997 to do the 8 acre prairie restoration in Valley View Park, which was planted last year. The CP grants are matching grants and would require that the city come up with at least 50% of the cost of the project. We have received a project proposal from Ecosystem Continuum, the prairie restoration contractor who did the restoration project in Valley View Park. He estimated that the restoration would cost about $11,275. If we are successful in obtaining the grant, it would commit the city to additional cash outlays for prairie restoration and maintenance in the next 5 -10 years. I have included a breakdown of the grant cost, possible sources of matching funds and what I think the city's financial commitment might be. That commitment will be less if we can assistance from partners such as the NSP Corridor Habitat Initiative Project and the Bayport Fire Dept.. Both of these potential partners have been contacted and I am waiting to hear back regarding how they might be able to help. I would like to get direction from the Parks Comm. on 3/15 as to whether or not they would like me to write and submit the grant this year. The grant deadline is March 31, 1999. The city would be notified by the DNR in July or August of 1999, and, if successful in obtaining the grant, the project would need to be completed by 2001. • A - • From: jjohnson [ jjohnson @cityofoakparkheights.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 03, 1999 10:47 AM To: 'Melanie Mesko' Subject: FW: 4 year Street Tight maintenance Mel Can you put this on the next Council Work Session.

They replace the bulb and photosensor and clean the lense. Our maintenance was placed on hold since the City was looking at changing light styles. We are starting to experience an increasing rate of lights out and blinking lights as we go beyond the four year cycle. This consumes our staff time, NSP's time and decreases public safety. If we do not anticipate making a massive change in lighting throughout the city in the next two years, I would like to authorize NSP to perform the 4 year maintenance on our street lights. If not throughout the city at least in selected neighborhoods. Jay • CITY OF OAK PARK HEIGHTS 111) TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1999 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING 6:00 P.M.
