8. Swedish Immigrant Trail Update


Page 3 of 23

County Commissioner George McMahon and County Park Commission Member Gregg

Carlson were present to update the Park Commission on the status of the Swedish

Immigrant Trail. Previously, the City had submitted a letter to the County stating

concerns with the lack of progress on the trail. Carlson reported that County Planner Ken

Roberts is working on the Master Plan for the trail. The Master Plan is necessary in order

to apply for grant funds in the future. Clearing has begun for the east end trail project (to

Taylors Falls). This project includes two miles of pavement and three bridges. The

project will be under construction this summer. There will be a parking lot on Tern

Avenue, which will allow access to the trail.

Commissioner McMahon stated that he is visiting all of the Park Commissions –

Lindstrom, Chisago City, and Center City -- providing updates and asking for continued

support. He encouraged members to attend County Board meetings. He plans to become

involved in the negotiations with five land owners along the proposed trail segments.

McMahon and Carlson noted that there is no designated trail mapped out from Chisago to

Wyoming; however, the Master Plan should help to address the route. County Board

meetings take place on the 1st and 3

rd Wednesdays of the month at 6:30 p.m. Public

comments are heard at 7:00 p.m.

9. Allemansrätt Park

The Grand Opening Ceremony for the Anderson Peninsula will take place on

Saturday, May 30th

, at 11:00 a.m. Bob McGillivray, the representative with the

Trust for Public Land, is not able to attend; however, he will send a

representative. City Staff will send out invitations as appropriate. The large

scissors from the Chamber will be used to cut the ribbon. Yellow ribbon is on

hand.

The Friends of Allemansrätt are planning the Silent Sit fundraiser for May 16th

.

Details are falling into place, with much community support.

Signage for the Anderson Peninsula has been designed and is ready to be

constructed. The sign will be positioned perpendicular to the road.

Bachman noted concern with the refurbishing of the original Allemansrätt Park

sign. Commission Members will look at it to determine if corrections are needed.

An asbestos inspection is scheduled for tomorrow at the 1970’s Anderson house.

Great River Greening continues to work on buckthorn removal and is planning to

burn soon, depending on the weather/wind.

The High School Forestry Class is considering building boardwalks in the park.

They will be going out and taking measurements. If they do the project, it would

be finished by the end of the school year. The school may cover the cost of

materials as well.


Page 4 of 23

Boy Scout Sam Klun has received a donation from the Friends of Allemansrätt

towards his Eagle Scout project to build boardwalks. He will likely secure the

rest of the funds from the Fire Department.

Olinger reported that he will move ahead with tearing off the porch on the 1870’s

Anderson house. He will get a quote for painting the house. The City’s summer

workers will mow the area early in the season. RISE will be asked to clean up the

area around the house, at a minimal expense.

There is an $11,000 tax liability this year for the Peninsula property.

Olinger and Bachman went out and marked locations on the Peninsula for trails and camp

sites. Some clearing was done last week, as there was a juvenile who needed to do some

community service. Ideas were presented for fire rings, benches, picnic tables, and tent

pads. The estimated cost per “site” is $1,250. Boat tie-ups are estimated to cost $25.

The Lake Improvement District will sponsor one site.

Commission Members decided to meet on Sunday, April 12th

, at 1:00 p.m. and look at the

marked areas. It was noted that some of the materials needed for each camp site may

already be available on the property. The plans will be finalized after the review on

Sunday. There is a Boy Scout who has expressed interest in doing work on the Peninsula

for his Eagle Scout Project. These plans will be helpful for his project as well.

Motion by Schultz, second by Renaker, to approve the concept plan for hike-

in/boat-in picnic sites on the Allemansrätt Peninsula. Motion passed 7-0. Bachman

will attend the next LID meeting – which is at the same time as the Park Commission

meeting, May 4th

, to formalize their contribution.

The Chisago Lakes Lions Club has asked if they can store some signs at the shed by the

Norelius house. Consensus of the Commission is to allow this request.

10. Trailhead Update

The bike repair station has arrived. A $1,000 grant has been received from Midcontinent

Foundation for the hydration station. $8,265 is available for the trailhead project.

Olinger noted that the evergreen trees have grown very large at the Chamber site. He

would like to have a City Planner look at the area and help design the placement of the

trailhead amenities, which also include a porta potty shelter and a kiosk. Council

Member Wishy suggested that perhaps two of the evergreen trees could be removed, and

one could be left.

11. Harmony in the Park

A proposal was received from the Music Connection in Forest Lake to add a sound

system to the Lions Park Bandshell. Rich Bachman coordinated the details for the

proposal. The system will contain two permanently installed speakers with cables


Page 5 of 23

terminating with a box near the electrical panel. It includes a portable eight input mixer

and will provide excellent coverage of the listening area for both spoken word and music.

WARRANTY The Music Connection warrants new materials and labor for a period of 1 year. This includes onsite

service. Some manufacturer's warranties extend beyond this period. Warranty does not extend to existing

equipment or to noise caused by electrical interference from the venue. To provide best warranty service

possible, The Music Connection installs only equipment purchased from The Music Connection.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS -Dedicated 15amp 110-volt ISOLATED GROUND circuit should be installed at Mixer/Amp location

for sound equipment electrical power. This will reduce chance of electrical interference and “hum”

in system.

Bachman recommended swapping out the 2 Rode M3 Wide Area Condenser

Microphones for 2 wireless microphones. The cost should be the same. He also

suggested upgrading the PG58 Handheld Vocal Microphone for a SM58, at an increase in

cost of $35. The total proposal would then be $5,129. If approved, Bachman stated that


Page 6 of 23

he will help with the setup. Some of the equipment will have to be stored indoors, unless

some sort of secure lock box is purchased and installed by the Bandshell. Straub reported

that the required 15 amp 110-volt isolated ground circuit is already available. Olinger

reported that there is money available for this purchase – not in the park budget, but

elsewhere.

Motion by Renaker, second by Dudley, to move forward with the purchase of the

equipment. Motion passed 7-0.

Chair Johnson reported that he has been raising money for this year’s festivities. There

will be some articles and photos in the Chisago County Press. He is putting the final

touches on the accompanying activities (health fair, craft fair, etc.). He will work with

Straub to update the banner in May, and plans to get posters and schedule cards printed at

that time. A tentative schedule will be posted in the newspaper as well, because people

have been calling about it already. Park Commission Members expressed support and

appreciation for Johnson’s work on the Harmony series.

12. Historical Societies

Administrator Olinger met with the Chisago County Historical Society to try and

encourage that they work together with the Lindstrom Historical Society.

Representatives were willing to make an effort. Olinger has also contacted a high school

teacher who is interested in connecting with the societies. The teacher will connect with

the appropriate parties. Olinger will talk to representatives in Center City to see where

they are at with their historical data.

For the last two months, the Commission considered a proposed Agreement from the

Chisago County Historical Society, along with a $500 donation request. Commission

Members stated that they would be willing to provide a donation once the Chisago

County Historical Society and the Lindstrom Historical Society are combined.

CRD 20 bridge is replaced, which is scheduled by the County for 2019

Perhaps the 1870’s Anderson house can be used as a Swedish History Center

It would be nice to plan for a municipal campground in the future

Perhaps the City will want to take over KiChiSaga Park in the future – it is

currently a County Park

The paved trail along Olinda Trail should be extended to 288th

/Glader

More funds might be needed for the Trailhead at the Chamber property

A City dock would be nice to have so that people can tie up their boats and visit

the shops and restaurants in town

If the Historical Society plans an expansion project in the future, it would be good

to encourage them to include a community room

It would be nice to have a City nursery, growing trees that can be transplanted to

City parks and other properties

Commission Members were supportive of moving the volleyball court at Beach

Park closer to the water

14. Park Evaluations

STAFF REPORT

MEETING DATE: May 4, 2015

SUBMITTED BY: Shari Bachman

ITEM: Allemansrätt Park/Anderson Peninsula

Bridges and Boardwalk update

Anderson Peninsula update-RISE has an employee working who has removed the two

fenced in areas. The trails have been mowed again. The first asbestos abatement quote

was $11,000. I have a second quote coming. RE Peterson is providing a quote to shore

up the cattle pass so the fire trucks will enter the property. Chief Sellman says if the pass

is shored up he will burn the house. The canoe was stolen and the fence was cut behind

the house. The sign is on order.

Anderson Peninsula Grand Opening-we need to make final preparations.

Great River Greening update-The City budgeted $10,000 last year and $5,000 this year.

Great River Greening will work with this number to continue to eradicate the invasive

species.

Silent Sit Update

2015 budgeted projects-Norelius House has $15,000 for renovations minus the insulation

of $3,500. We have enough money in this fund to demolish the building. Gate/sign for

Anderson we have $4,000 but the sign is only $2,400. We also had $40,000 in Anderson

houses. The taxes were $11,000 but we had $3,000 so minus $8,000, remaining $32,000.

I am estimating the dumpster and RISE is about $2,000 so now we have $30,000. My

first quote for asbestos removal was $11,000. I’m obtaining a second quote but let’s say

that is so we are at $19,000. We have RE Peterson giving us a quote to shore up the

bridge so the Fire Trucks can cross and for removal of debris after the Fire Department

burns the house. I don’t have those yet. We should be pretty close with some extra for a

campsite and the donation to the Boy Scouts and High School for materials for bridges

and boardwalks in Allemansrätt Park.

Page 14 of 23

STAFF REPORT


SUBMITTED BY: Administrator Olinger

ITEM: Trailhead Update

I am having a planner from MSA assist me to consider options at Memorial

Park. The Chamber of Commerce and the VFW have both requested the three evergreen trees be removed. The Chamber doesn’t like them because they block the building and the VFW is concerned the roots will impact their

memorials bricks. But, I won’t do anything until we have a plan. We have money to cover installation of the hydration station and bike stand

for this year. The porta potty shelter and kiosk needs to be added to next year’s budget. I estimate $6,200.

ACTION TO BE CONSIDERED: no action necessary, included in the 2016 budget

STAFF REPORT



ITEM: Pumphouse Park

Thanks to Kathy George, the Twins Grant has been awarded!! This is a matching grant for $10,000. The grant was submitted for: Century Fence – Chain Link Fencing $ 5,550.00

Peterson Companies – Warning Track $ 7,080.00

Peterson Companies – Infield Renovations $ 3,600.00

St. Croix Recreation Fun Playgrounds – Hydration Station $ 3,410.00

Staff Time / Concrete Slab / Water Line $ 2,000.00

TOTAL $21,640.00

Pumphouse Park-We planned for $21,640 worth of improvements. The City purchased, using Water Fund money, the hydration station for $3,410 and will set it on a pad and hook it up to water, $2000. The

grading by Peterson is $10,680. We can go ahead this year using the Twins $10,000 grant money to improve the infield and add the warning

track using money from the Parks Miscellaneous fund of $680 to make up the difference. We can finish up the fence early next spring for $5,550, maybe add $6,000 to the budget since our quote was from late

2014.


Page 17 of 23

STAFF REPORT



ITEM: 5 year Capital Improvement Plan, 2016

It is that time of year to plan for our 2016 improvements. Here is what you

mentioned from last week.

Perhaps adding a bridge from the Norelius house/property to the park

Money should be put away for a future project to improve public parking once the

CRD 20 bridge is replaced, which is scheduled by the County for 2019

Perhaps the 1870’s Anderson house can be used as a Swedish History Center

It would be nice to plan for a municipal campground in the future

Perhaps the City will want to take over KiChiSaga Park in the future – it is

currently a County Park

The paved trail along Olinda Trail should be extended to 288th

/Glader

More funds might be needed for the Trailhead at the Chamber property

A City dock would be nice to have so that people can tie up their boats and visit

the shops and restaurants in town

If the Historical Society plans an expansion project in the future, it would be good

to encourage them to include a community room

It would be nice to have a City nursery, growing trees that can be transplanted to

City parks and other properties

Commission Members were supportive of moving the volleyball court at Beach

Park closer to the water

Norelius House-I believe we can remove the $5,000 Norelius house

renovations if we plan to demolish the house. We have $11,500.

Trailhead-We have $7,000 plus a $1,000 grant for Memorial Park restroom, hydration station and trailhead kiosk. The hydration station is $3,500, plus connecting to water and a concrete pad. I estimate $3,000

to hook to water and another $1,000 for the pad so we should have enough for the hydration station, bike stand and pad. But, we need


Page 18 of 23

more money for the porta potty shelter and kiosk, a kiosk is $1,200 and a porta potty shelter is $5,000, $6,200.

Pumphouse Park-Add $6,000 to the budget for outfield fencing.

Allemansrätt and Anderson Peninsula-

Norway Dog Park-We discussed eliminating this project because Chisago City has a new Dog Park. We can see how well that park is utilized.

Allemansrätt Invasive Species removal-We should continue funding the invasive species program with matching funds through Great River

Greening, $10,000 Allemansrätt Park Payment-We need to keep paying our debt, $27,169.

Olinda Trail Trail Extension-We should continue to plan for matching

dollars to extend the trail to 288th, $10,000. Allemansrätt Anderson Peninsula-We planned on constructing a pavilion

and reserved $28,000 for next year. We have no plans and no cost estimates.

Contingencies-We reserved $5,000 for contingencies.

Any comments about 2017-2020?

STAFF REPORT


SUBMITTED BY: Deputy Clerk George

ITEM: Swedish Femaile Group

We have been contacted by Lise Kroner, who is coming to tour the Lindstrom area this fall. She is wondering if we would be interested in arranging a

musical event/concert with her band Akervinda. They will be here from August 15-21. They charge $250/person and there are 4 people. So, the cost would be $1,000.

ABOUT ÅKERVINDA

Iris, Lise, Hanna and Agnes, the four young singers of Åkervinda, take pride in their

original and modern interpretation of the traditional folksongs of Scandinavia.

The group’s name, Åkervinda, is inspired by a Swedish wildflower whose roots spread

far and wide like rivers under the ground. Like the flower, gracefully entwining melodies,

rock solid groove, and ever intruiging harmonies will take root in your mind. Like the

flower, they will be impossible to remove.

Jazz singers at heart, the young women of Åkervinda share a deep love of folk music.

Through improvisation, the group gives new life to traditional folk songs and stories of

women throughout the ages.

ACTION: Are you interested in hosting this band?
