He said that it was a moderate success and Wood Lake made money with 53 golfers at about $170 each. I Action Items I Augsburg Skate Park Design Topitzhofer said that, after receiving the initial round of proposals were received, the task force decided that the options were not adequate and the group should request a new round of proposals. He said that the group received a proposal from Spahn Ranch that they were very pleased with. He said that staff is negotiating a contract with Spahn Ranch. Mangold said that the experienced skaters on the task force have been pleased with the design. Mangold moved, seconded by Gepner, to recommend Council approval of a contract with Spahn Ranch to construct a tier -one skate park as proposed in their design. Approved, ayes all. Honoring All Veterans Memorial Landscape Plan Topitzhofer said that the Council approved the recommended site plan and gave direction to staff to propose multiple landscaping options with different cost options. He said that the plan is for the funds to be provided up front by the recreation fund (from the golf course and park condemnations) and the HAVM project would borrow from that and pay it back over time with engraving proceedings. Members asked if the landscaping option with the trees would affect fireworks viewing on the 4In of July. Rublein said that option C might impede the view of some lower fireworks. Topitzhofer was asked if the memorial has been vandalized; he said that it hasn't. Gepner asked if there is a sprinkler system; Topitzhofer said that there is a plan for one, but the watershed district has a grant to pay for an irrigation system that uses stormwater. Gepner suggested Option C; Werner suggested Option B. Nelson asked if the berm removal would be included in any of the three options; Topitzhofer said that it is part of all three options and the work would be done by City staff. Gepner moved, seconded by Bornholdt, to recommend Council approval of Option C. Approved with one nay (Werner). I Committee Reports I Community Bandshell Group: Bornholdt provided the report.

Green Company ti' RICHFIELD COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMISSION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Meeting Date: October 18, 2011 Agenda Item: Do Town Health Initiative Attachments: None Recommended Action: None Agenda Section: Discussion Items Contact: Jim TODitzhoter The mayors of Bloomington, Edina and Richfield, and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota (Blue Cross) recently launched an 18-month project to improve the health of their communities by making changes that support healthy eating and active living choices. The initiative, called "do.town," focuses on preventing illness caused by unhealthy eating and physical inactivity, which combined are the second leading cause of death and disease in Minnesota. The goal of the do.town initiative is to make the communities places where the healthy choice is the easy choice — giving residents more opportunities to eat right, get physical activity and create healthier homes, schools and workplaces. The do.town initiative builds off the success of Blue Cross' popular do. Campaign, which encourages people to "groove your body every day" by moving more and eating better — as well as the numerous healthy initiatives that are currently under way in each of the cities. The project begins with outreach and listening sessions in each community. The goal is to better understand what barriers residents and leaders believe currently exist and then help all three communities make the changes that can help community members easily make healthy choices a part of their daily lives. Examples might be working to make biking or walking to school safer; helping improve access to healthy foods at work, school and in faith organizations; or allowing for more community gardens to help serve people with low incomes. The options are numerous and each city will determine what changes and improvements make the most sense for them to tackle. Unhealthy eating and physical inactivity take an enormous toll on quality of life and our pocketbooks. They contribute to preventable diseases and conditions such as obesity, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. For example, two-thirds of adult Minnesotans are overweight or obese, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. If trends continue unchecked, Blue Cross found treating obesity -related diseases will add nearly $3.7 billion to Minnesota's annual health care costs by 2020. The Community Services Commission is encourage to have a dialog about the new initiative and to begin discussing ways to reduce the barriers to healthy living that exist in Richfield. 10/12/2011 16:41 9524749056 EXCELSIOR ACCOUNTING Friends of Wood Lake Nature Center Board of Directors 6710 Lake Shore Drive Richfield, MN 55423 Name ql anrq 171�10P_r Telephone Number q;,.--47q-ggTMW) I am interested in serving on the Board of Directors for the Friends of Wood Lake Nature Center.
