Davis stated that the resident is in new construction and built,near the park knowing where and what they would be looking at, with this in mind, she would encourage the resident to donate plantings to the City Park, similar to what other residents have done, if they chose. Bailey concurred, stating that it is not the City's responsibility to provide them with screening from the park. Chair Davis asked CRR Representative Kristi Anderson to share how the park is currently used. Though heavily used for a neighborhood park, Anderson stated that the fields are utilized by Minnetonka Girls Softball (MGSA), South Tonka Little League (STLL), and Lacrosse cooperatively during the summer months. She pointed out that, it would be the cities intent, to move Lacrosse to Badger Park next year. JOINT PARK COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2008 PAGE 2 OF 6 Turgeon asked whether the Commission has a price tag for the Manor Park shelter expansion. Hensley stated that they had not gotten past the design phase and were unsure whether the Commission should hire a designer or have staff put together a plan. Chair Davis reiterated the need to design uniform signage throughout the City. Turgeon stated that there was discussion to make all signs consistent in design way back when the County Road interchange was completed as a part of the gateway to Shorewood look. She asked staff to find out where this is at. Norman mentioned that, by adding the improvements to N programming offered to this side of Shorewood will be ab Lizee stated that the upgrades make sense. Silverwood: • Sign and garden both in poor condition • How can the drainage and pea gravel be improved near, the slide • Need for a shelter here and at alliparks • Would a designer be helpful to redesignh�s park Bailey asked what the price for a shelter is. Chair Davis was pea gravel and n qualify, as they ut ec�ected roughly $40,000 for a slab and cover. With regard to the she questioned under what expenditure category these would ital i Id like to find a way to build shelters and budget for that long ted why the maintenance piece is not getting done as it A recently rolled thru town prior to the park tours and the parks ntained that the public works department does replace gravel a the erosion near the slide is a drainage issue which must be Chair Davis su hillside in tact. consider some form of walk able pavers or groundcover to hold the Bailey pointed out that the tennis practice board is way too short.

JOINT PARK COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2008 PAGE30F6 • Brown noted that landscaping of the benn or island was never completed in order to keep the park safer and visible. Liz6e suggested planting some of the low lying prairie plantings as another experimental site. Minnewashta Dog Park: Chair Davis included some photos of the dog park in order to show what it was the City invested in. Badger Park: • Not much of a park feel • Need for new park as well as tennis court signage • Courts in need of rehab, highly used • Update the warming house Liz6e commented what a nice neighborhood park this is, how! there is no where to sit and watch kids play on the tot "lot.

Bailey encouraged`the "Commission to be proactive with Chanhassen and approach them with a real design plan. Freeman Park: • Plaza is one of the best additions to the park done there • There is a mess left at the ball fields near fields 1 -3, debris behind buildings and sheds not being utilized • Drainage area or walkway between Freeman and Shorewood Oaks is in need of repair • Trails are a wonderful addition although the trails within the woods are in poor condition, down trees and debris clutter the walkway, drainage pond is in bad shape • JOINT PARK COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2008 PAGE 4 OF 6 Brown stated that the public works department is in the process of recouping the gravel to fill . and stabilize the walkway area. Bailey asked if the Commission anticipated any big expenditures at Freeman. Chair Davis stated that they did not anticipate any big expenses, other than perhaps improving the trail area within the woods by carving out some more natural pond areas like some of the nicer examples shown on the slides, as opposed to the drainage swamp pond that exists currently. Hensley asked if staff or Council had any design firms they would recommend the Commission contact to begin the planning phase. Lizee suggested they consider bidding out designs and tap into an environmental fund. Chair Davis reiterated the need for standard shelters being built.throughout the community and suggested they ask a consultant to look at their ideas to create a standardled look for shelters and signage. She also suggested the City consider entering tiito trail talks again maintaining that it is a different time and place than it was years past. S14 stressed the need forsafe passage for kids and people using the roadways. Lizee pointed out that Shorewood does not own the right of ways on many parcels. She hoped the greater community might be engaged to build support to make it happen, but cautioned it would take time. Discussion: Woodruff pointed out that the.Council held a budget meeting the previous evening and stated that he'd hoped the Commission y±ould present the Council with a prioritized list of items and cost breakouts for them to look at and consider tonight. He noted that all of the items and projects hinted at this evening were brought up last too and had not yet been even embarked on in some form. He stated that the Cbuncil,needs a plan from the Commission to act on, if it is new shelters, thenthe,Council�needs a recommendation from the Commission which can be voted on Chairli ayisstated that shebna.,found it extremely difficult to get prices and plans from staff to act on. Lizee stated that tt Sounded as if the Commission had priorities it would like to accomplish, including building a retatip with Chanhassen. She encouraged the Commission to make some recommendations,iii the Council with regard to what they'd like to accomplish at Badger and Manor Parks. Woodruff stated that maybe the Commission needs funding to add more maintenance dollars to the budget, but if so, the Commission must make a recommendation and plead its case. Chair Davis stated that the Commission has been hesitant to spend any money because it is all of the money the Commission has left for life. Woodruff stated that until the Council has plans or recommendations to look at to know what the priorities are nothing can get done. He stated that, to him, roads and parks are high priorities. • JOINT PARK COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2008 PAGE 5 OF 6 Bailey stated that he would be open to increasing the annual investment of $15,000 to parks if there is a need and the infrastructure demands it. Hensley asked if the cost of a consultant is covered. Lizee stated that the City is willing to work with professional services if there is a need that is not being met in house. Brown stated that there is only a limited amount of staff time available to spend on each priority, especially when the priorities continue to change. He noted that, while tennis courts have taken a great deal of time, other items have gotten in the way of getting RFD's out or meeting numerous directives. Woodruff stated that if the only way to break the logjam that has been created is to hire someone to write the RFP's, then the City can do so. Hensley stated that he would like to have an RFP written to i certain parks, and if the Commission recommends the need,; each item should go out to RFP Trent stated that the Commission has already„ identified a lot does not have a plan or have them listed by priority. Woodruff stated that the Council needs to see the w priority. Brown stated that some,of this workjs done and tha good numbers, noting that they cannot get actual pr he understood the Commissron.'s aggst, there is onl) Commission isizoncerned thafl'w' en thi'fi is Ohne thn the design of structures in City Council budgets it, then it wants to get done, but it tag assigned to each the estimates on the wish list thus far are e quotes for everything. Brown stated that $280,000 available and that is it, the will be the end of the road. He noted however, ' at what he was hearing from the Council was that additional funding will be available as needed: Trent asked at the dead IinE to get the funding into the budget cycle. Lizee stated that-tle.deadline is September 15, as this is the date a tentative budget must be completed in dra ft `foirt Woodruff asked whether the Commission would like to have the Council put some budget holders in place for some of the things they'd like to accomplish. He noted that there would be a budget meeting on August 25"', and a Council meeting on September 8 1h at which they would be adopting there draft budget. Bailey stated that it sounded to him as if the Commission was experiencing analysis paralysis. He pointed out that the Commission must be willing to spend what it has before concerning itself with the what if's when the budget is gone. 11 JOINT PARK COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL MINUTES TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2008 PAGE 6 OF 6 f Chair Davis stated that the impression she has gotten over time has been not to spend the Commission budget. Woodruff encouraged the Commission to lay out its priorities and price tags accordingly, with a portion of dollars for unexpected incidentals set aside. 11.

REPORTS A Report on City 'ounctl Meeting of July 28, 2008 and August 11, 2008 Bailey stated that, as disc sed eaflier, the Council held a budget work session. Brown reported that the City council had directed staff to create a 0% levy increase; at minimum staff founda �k% levy increase was necessary. Bailey explained that° Q% was the base, realizing that 0 would mean a loss of a considerable amount of road money,.plus "park needs and other public works necessities, warranted a higher percentage. He questioned whether the $15,000 currently budgeted parks is adequate. B. Update on Summer Activities at Freeman Based on the feedback forms, Norman pointed out that neighbors and kids loved the park offerings this year. C.

AUTHORIZE EXPEDITURE OF FUNDS TO SUPPLY ELECTRICAL TO THE RINK LIGHTS AT BADGER PARK Landini explained that the City Council approved this item at the previous evening Council meeting; therefore, no action was necessary. 6. AUTHORIZE EXPEDITURE ,OF FUNDS TO STRAIGHTEN CONCRETE BASE OF RINK LIGHT AT MANOR PARK Brown stated that, the Commission could give authorizatiah based on the findings once staff has someone check the electrical conduit when excavating around the Iight. Hensley moved, Young seconded, authorizing the expe funds of up to $1200 to excavate and straighten the light pole. Motion passed 7. REVIEW PARKS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS Hensley asked whether the Commission should make the decision to hire a consultant before trying to budget for all of these, items. Brown stated that based,on previous discussion this evening the consultant expense could be wrapped up into the' capitat improVem' ents; however - ",.he felt the cleanest way to bring the consultant on board would be from the budget. The Comuttss"inners a�`e d the expansion of Manor Park warming house and the addition of the Silvervv c d shelter were high on the.Onority list. Chair Davff I ted that she would support getting as much done as possible now since prices are ever increasing;' She suggested; putting the tennis court rehab rotation into the budget, as well as, the resurfacing s and asphalt. Hensley stated that he would like to see Public Works Director Brown spend his time on creating the RFP for a consultant. Trent asked whether these things were the highest priority items they wished to see done. Bailey stated that by now the Commission knows what it wants to accomplish, he urged them to put it down on paper, what you want to do in 2009. Brown indicated that it sounded as if the highest priority items to him were the 2 shelters at two parks, the expansion of Manor's building, and a plan for uniform signage. If this is the case, Brown stated that staff could help assign dollar figures to these items. 0 1�1 • PARK COMMISSION MINUTES TUESDAY, AUGUST 12, 2008 PAGE 3 OF 4 Chair Davis noted the additions of the 2 tennis courts and asphalt surfaces. Brown asked whether the lighting system at Manor was adequate. Norman stated that, once the pole was straightened, the system was fine for now. Trent reiterated that this is not how he would go about planning, he urged the Commission to create a priority list, as well as long term impacts of those items. Hensley agreed that creating a wish list with assigned estimates was an exercise in futility, but acknowledged the need to at least begin with this sketch plan. Similar, to a home remodel, one must have a rough idea of a projects cost and budget before true estimates can be attached and fine tuning occurs. Brown stated that the Commission has stated time andtir Park and redoing the tennis courts are things you say'ove Commission to lay out projects and let staff help fill in th out a vision, staff can figure out how to get it done. He m brought on board to discuss long term items and a good ti December, but the constants for 2009 must be addressed.

Attached is an e-mail from Commissioner Hensley and the 2005 Tonka Bay trail study for the Park Commissions review. At Tuesday night's meeting Commissioner Hensley will update the Park Commissioners on the project. • • Mon Larry: 0 I'm on the Project Advisory Committee for the proposed trail on Highway 19 connecting Shorewood and Navarre by trail. The Committee includes representatives from Hennepin County (staff), Three Rivers Park District (staff), Minnehaha Watershed District (staff), and representatives from Orono, Tonka Bay, and Shorewood (me and Scott Zerby). Two separate consulting firms have been hired and are preparing concept plans for the trail. The first meeting of the Committee was last night. There are obviously significant challenges in putting a trail along the Highway. 19 corridor between Smithtown and Highway 15 (to join the new Dakota Trail), but I was impressed at the amount of (government) human resources that are being put into the project. Hennepin County already had the trail on their long term plan, which I did not know. I was also not aware that Tonka Bay had a study done in 2005 by Schoell and Madson to study a trail that was basically between the Xcel property and about 1/2 south of the Narrows, including some cost estimates. I thought I would send you the link to that 2005 study if you haven't already seen it (on the Tonka Bay web site under "Parks and Trails." http:// www .cityoftonkabgy.net /index.asp ?Type =B BASIC &SEC= f9E522C8 F -210A- 4380- 8CB1- F4323CDF899E )&DE =f 59A85189-4B74-4F61-90[)4- D6D12D29006C } . As mentioned above, two new consulting firms have been hired to prepare the design for the new County Road 19 Trail. Everyone in attendance realized that this is a long term process to get the trail built. There will be obstacles. I was however, totally surprised at the government enthusiasm (including Hennepin County which convened the meeting) for putting in a trail in along County Road 19. Thus, although construction may be longer term (2 -5 years ?), the planning process is on the fast - track. The consultants and Hennepin County indicated that the goal is to have a preliminary trail design complete by December 2008. Aerial photographs of the proposed trail route were distributed to all Committee members last night, and by our next meeting, we were told that property lines, electrical, water, etc. would be added to the lay -out. We were told that the work done by Schoell and Madson would be used when appropriate, but that the design may vary from what Schoell and Madson recommended. Once the preliminary trail design is complete, the staff would hold a "community open house" so that members of the community could 0 review the concept and comment. Again, this is all on a six month or so planning i track. Given the high level of government involvement, my impression after leaving the meeting last night was not "if" this new trail would happen, but "when." Judging by how fast the Dakota trail went in after people got energized, "when" might be sooner than I would have suspected before going into this meeting. This is all just to keep you in the loop, but let me know if you have questions.

This report represents a study at the request of the City Council in August, 2005, to investigate the is possibility of creating a trail from the currently redesigned intersection at Manitou RoadiSmithtown Road, near the shopping center area, northbound to Wekota Park, via Tonka Bay Road and West Point Road. A subsequent September 13 meeting to discuss this study involved Sara Irvine, City Administrator; Greg Kluver, City Public Work Superintendent; Anthony Marceau, City Council Member; Ken Adolf, Schoell & Madson; and Paul Schroeder, Schoell & Madson. The meeting discussed and directed Schoell & Madson to pursue a study involving only a single two -way separate trail from the roadway on the east side of Manitou and traverse to Wekota Park along Tonka Bay Road and West Point Road. The study is to include the review of existing conditions, possible trail location, general construction cost estimate, and possible funding sources. Copies of this study will be transmitted to members of the City Council and related City Staff. Our objective is to provide information, analysis, and recommendations of the implementation of the trail within the City of Tonka Bay for City Council and City Staff to use in pursuing the implementation of the trail. Thank you for the support of the City Staff and the City Council in allowing Schoell & Madson to assist in this task. Sincerely, Schoell & Madson, Inc.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION Conclusion and Recommendation The implementation of the trail along this corridor anUcipahyoamuchhigirher Go. atand coordination with ot agencies than typical trail projects. Thus d Would bo recommended to cornplete segments of the trail to help make ptogress ind provide illore affordable costs along this lengthy corridor. The existing conditions ofo|opeo.dense vegetation, wetlands, and utility poles are the most signific,. iteryls that need to be addressed. Wetland delineation and wetland mitigation may be required due tosome potential trail im areas, but due to a iack of information wetland issues arid costs are not part of tile Study. but may been additional cost. Tonka Bay Road and West Point Road is the first sogmenirecommandedfo/ implementation, due to less coordination and a illOrterdiStJnCe Of fillplefTlelItEltiOn.

They are interested in reserving the tennis courts a couple times a week during the day in September for tennis lessons. They may also be interested in reserving the courts in the spring for tennis lessons. In the spring and fall Minnetonka Middle School reserves the courts at Badger once a week for 4 -5 weeks • from 3:30 -6:00. Attached is the Outdoor Use Application that the school fills out when they reserve the courts. We have no guidelines or fees set for reserving the tennis courts at the parks. I have attached the Athletic Field Reservation form that we use when a baseball field, soccer field, hockey or football field is reserved. If it is decided that the Park Commission would like to charge a fee to reserve the courts, this form could be revised adding the tennis courts. I have contacted the following cities to see what their procedures are in reserving their courts: Chanhassen does not charge a fee to reserve a tennis court. They mostly have senior groups and school groups that reserve the courts. Plymouth has a rental fee of $5 hour /per court. They do not charge schools. They normally do not have a lot of courts being reserved to outside groups. Other than their Park and Rec programs, they want to have the courts available for the public to use. Eden Prairie reserves the courts for school use (1 Priority) and the city programs (2 " Priority) at no cost. They do reserve during the weekday / day to Eden Prairie residents at no cost. They do not reserve the courts during the evenings or weekends (other than posted city lesson or league programs) so that the courts are available on a first come, first serve basis. . Golden Valley has a fee $5 /court/hour for weekdays until 5:00 p.m. and $9 /court/hour for evenings and weekends. They issue a facility use permit and also have a board at the courts listing the reservations. After review, please advise staff how to proceed.
