Brown reported that the City Council would be asked for their approval of the Water Garden Report •
provided by WSB at their next meeting so that staff may begin pursuing grant opportunities. Once
approval is obtained, Brown stated that staff will call Commissioner Westerlund's contacts from
MnDOT, in order to discuss the potential of using wetland credits for the garden.
E. Park Foundation Breakfast Fundraiser
Gilbertson complimented the Park Foundation for its success at their fundraiser breakfast. He shared
a flyer, placemat, brochure, and program from the event indicating that the group raised $6,000 the
day of the initial breakfast and had been contacted by other donors willing to pay for the entire plaza
project. He was pleased to see the event turn out so well for the Foundation and Shorewood Parks.
Davis concurred, stating the Foundation did a good job. She indicated that a process would need to
be established for the Commission to apply for grants to be used in the parks or to determine how the
money would be spent for parks.
Young stated that he was happy the Foundation had raised so much money that day and since, to
cover the entire estimated $20,000 for the plaza and an additional $6,000.
Meyer distributed an email in which she voiced her concern that the Foundation not risk losing the
potential donor by failing to inform them of the process or timeline required to execute a plan of this
magnitude. She did not want to see the donor promised something would happen by a certain time if •
the City could not deliver or meet that timeline realistically, especially since the Park Commission
had seen only a concept plan for the project to date.
Gilbertson questioned whether steps could be taken in advance to facilitate the approvals for the
Foundation plaza request.
Chair Arnst reminded the Commission that processes are in place that must be followed when
proposing additions to the park. She noted that, once a recommendation by the Park Commission has
been given, Planning Commission comment may be necessary, and final City Council approval
obtained. While she felt the estimated fall timeframe to be reasonable, Chair Amst agreed that it
would behoove the Commission to ensure that no false expectations would be set up, nor would it be
proper to circumvent the process.
Although Gilbertson agreed that the process must be followed, he pointed out that it would not
reflect well on the Commission if it appeared they were the ones slowing or stopping the process.
Rather, Gilbertson urged the Commission to help move the process along if the fall timeframe
seemed reasonable.
Lizee indicated that the Commission was acting in a proactive manner by simply moving this forward
and discussing its position this evening, as well as, attending the Foundation meeting on June 14"'.
She suggested the upcoming meeting would begin the process for compiling a gift list of items the •
City would approve of, as well as, a practice for accepting those gifts.
Brown indicated that he would need to touch base with the Planning Director to determine whether
the Planning Commission would need to examine the Foundation plaza request. He felt that a fall
goal was feasible barring any major issues.

Lizee reiterated that the Monday, June 14"', meeting would focus on the policies and practices for
accepting donations. While other gifts have been received in the past, Lizee indicated that the City
would like to set up a process for receiving and recognizing contributors; therefore, staff has been
researching with other corn nunities how they handle these donations. She pointed out that the
potential donor plans to attend the meeting to determine whether there is interest in his donation
before he goes through the effort of raising the funds.
5. PLAT REVIEW — SLEEPY HOLLOW WOODS
Brown reported that the Planning Commission, and staff, believed that a short trail connection from
the new street within the Sleepy Hollow Woods plat accessing the Minnewashta Elementary School
property was a good idea; however, they wished to hear the opinion of the Park Commission.
Chair Arnst pointed out that these types of connections were recommended by the Comp Plan and
would be paid for by the developer; therefore, questioned why they would not support such a
proposal.
Westerlund moved, Gilbertson seconded, to recommend to the Planning Commission that they
require the trail connection from the Sleepy Hollow Woods subdivision to the Minnewashta
Elementary School property. Motion passed 6/0.
6. MUSIC IN THE PARK
A. Flyer
Brown distributed the flyer created by staff person Julie Moore. It was agreed that members of the
Commission would deliver their share of the flyers to certain areas within the community.
B. Concession Coupon
Gilbertson stated that he had contacted the Concession operator who supplied the coupon. He
indicated that he would encourage the Concessionaire to offer a different coupon each month.
C. Sponsors
Gilbertson stated that Cub Foods of Shorewood had agreed to sponsor each event at the $200 level;
Lake South Auto Place had committed to $100 per event; and the Pizza Prima restaurant had stepped
up to the $250 level for at least the first series. Gilbertson noted that he had introduced the
concessionaire to Pizza Prima and would not be surprised if they develop a cooperative arrangement
to provide pizza at Eddy Station. He added that the finance department would be billing each of the
sponsors for their contribution.
The Commission applauded Gilbertson for his tremendous effort and accomplishment in garnering
sponsors for the event.

7. NEW BUSINESS
Several members of the Commission acknowledged that they would be in attendance at the June
10' Park Foundation Meeting.
Chair Arnst informed the Commission that she had resigned and that this would be her last
meeting on the Commission. She pointed out that Assistant Chair Davis would be acting Chair.
Brown thanked Chair Arnst for her excellent work and many years of service.
Lizee congratulated Chair Amst for her work on the Commission and many accomplishments
over the years. She pointed out that Chair Arnst had changed the Commission for the better, led a •
proactive group of volunteers looking out for the best interest of the community.
Chair Amst thanked the Council for allowing the Commission the latitude to be visionaries. She
pointed out that as stewards of the parks it is the Commissions goal to provide a balance and
vision for the parks. She acknowledged Engineer Brown's advice to remain logical, and never let
the tail wag the dog when it carne to emotional issues.

DATE: July 9, 2004
RE: Skate Park Update
On June 15 2004, Staff met with Tim Hughes, designer of the current skate park equipment for the
Southshore Community Park, to discuss possible additions that could be completed for the park.
Tim stated that the League of Minnesota Cities, insurance carrier for the City, has adopted new
regulations for skate parks that allow a 4.0 foot height limit. Previously, a 3.0 foot limit existed for
such equipment. Tim went on to state that he receives constant feedback from users of the park that
the starting ramp ( "quarter pipe ") is not high enough to gain enough speed to make full utilization of
the center pyramid. The existing quarter pipe was designed, based upon the 3.0 foot height limitation.
Tim recommended the addition of a 4.0 foot high quarter pipe next two the 3.0 foot quarter pipe. This
would provide a choice for skate boarders, be relatively simple to add, and would provide the
opportunity for skaters to fully utilize the center ramp structure. The addition of any additional pieces
would be difficult, due the limited amount of space' available.
Mr. Hughes stated that he would talk to manufacturers to determine preliminary pricing, and would
complete a revised design for the City. It should also be noted that several of the existing pieces need
new skate surfaces. Staff would recommend that part of the upgrade address these repairs.
It is anticipated that the designs should be ready by the next regularly scheduled meeting. Once the
design has been received, Staff will obtain quotes for the equipment, such that the Park Commission
can provide a recommendation whether to proceed with the upgrade.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Park Commission
FROM: Craig W. Dawson, City Administrator
DATE: June 15, 2004
SUBJECT: Recognition of Contributors for Park Facilities and Equipment
At the Council work session prior to the June 14 regular Council meeting, everyone in attendance
agreed that policies, guidelines, or standards should be established regarding the recognition of
donors who have made contributions for equipment or facilities in the City's parks. As I mentioned
during the meeting, practices varied widely among the cities that responded to our request for
information. Ultimately, it comes down to what a particular community believes is appropriate.
There were some common threads among the respondents who did not follow a case -by -case basis:
• Review by the Council's advisory commission was required; some used the word "approval ".
Especially in smaller communities, City Council approval was the final step in the process. In
larger communities, approval or denial by the commission and/or staff director was sufficient
for smaller donations.
• For contributions like benches, tables, and trees, a small plaque or nameplate would
automatically be allowed, with the marker and material approved by the staff director.
• For name recognition of larger contributions, the donor must have contributed a substantial
amount (typically at least 50 percent) of the cost of the equipment or facility.
• The City has no obligation to guarantee to the donors for the ongoing condition of the
equipment or facility purchased, and repair or replacement of the recognition plaque, marker,
or sign may be the responsibility of the donating party.
I have attached the information from the cities of Eagan and Eden Prairie. Eagan has produced the
most recent policy around, and appears to have done a good job of synthesizing good practices. It is
also flexible to handle a wide range of circumstances. Eden Prairie has had a "gift book" for several
. years, and it is a good example of how donors can be encouraged to make specific contributions for
equipment or facilities that would otherwise go unfunded.
f. � PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
Park Commission
Recognition for Contributions
for Facilities or Equipment for City Parks
June 15, 2004
Page Two
A few issues of appropriateness seem especially sensitive:
Siena e_ : As mentioned above, nameplates are non - controversial. Larger signs or plaques are
appropriate for larger donations, but size is a concern. Some cities limit the signage to 225
square inches (e.g., 15 inches square). By comparison, the Shirley Rice Memorial sign at
Manor Park is 600 square inches (15" x 40 "). The sign recognizing of the ongoing support of
the American Legion Post for maintenance of the skate park facility at South Shore
Community Park is 240 square inches (4" x 60 "). The Legion pledged $1,000 per year for
five years and the City agreed to the sign to recognize that commitment.
The Commission should also discuss whether and subject to what conditions a memorial
monument would be permitted.
• Recognition in Public Information Should the facility be listed with the donor's name in the
City's publications?
• Corporate Reconi tion Should there be any difference whether the donation is made by a
business? For some cities, it doesn't matter —they welcome all donors equally.
• Living or Dead ? : In terms of personal names, should their use be allowed only for people 40
who are no longer living?
The City's policies /guidelines /standards will clarify up -front what potential contributors can expect
as recognition of any gifts they may wish to make. If a contributor sought more grandiose
recognition, the Commission and Council could refer to these policies as what is considered
appropriate to the community. These policies would apply to any contributor, either directly to the
City or through the Shorewood Parks Foundation.
It would be an efficient use of time to adapt the Eagan policy to reflect Shorewood's preferences.
Any conditions related to the bullet- points above or resulting from Commission discussion would be
incorporated in the final document.

Subject: FW: [mcma] Significant Gift Recognition
Craig-
Here is our current Donor Policy and Donor Agreement, per our conversation today. We have set a flexible financial
threshold with the policy, stating that it must constitute 50% + of new projects. It outlines procedure pretty clearly. We also
have a donor agreement that delineates the type of recognition that will be given, to have it in writing so all parties
understand what the recognition expectations are. Council seemed quite comfortable with. the Donor Policy when they
reviewed it this winter. I hope this helps Craig Dawson, and if lie has any questions he can contact me, since this one is kind
of my baby, with massive credit to Richard Pletcher and the rest of the APrC subcommittee.
One thing we are still working on is a gift book for the smaller donations, like trees, park benches, tools and equipment,
FF &E, that type of thing. We have a standard recognition for these smaller items, usually under a few hundred dollars, i.e.
printing their name in the Discover. Us brochure, a letter of thanks from the department, and APrC recognition.
There are "big ticket" items in the gift book like water slides or playground structures in the gift book, though. These
discretionary "big ticket" items would be subject to the Donor Agreement. Negotiating recognition for these larger items is
the Director of Parks and Recreation's responsibility. We are about 90% done with the gift book, I just have to polish it tip.

SUBJECT TO RECOMMENDATION /APPROVAL:
DONOR NAMING POLICY
Not(,': Draft has been reviewed by City Attorney.
Revised 12 -09 -2003.
Recommended for approval by APrC, Januan 13, 2004
Revievved by Council at ivorkshop on Janua?) 27, 2004.
Approved on Februm i 3, 2004
DONOR NAMING
The City of Eagan seeks to recognize donors who wish to support the City's Parks and
Recreation department through distinguished effort or substantial financial endowment, by
naming facilities in their honor. This policy offers a guideline to determine when such cases are
appropriate and which may be better served by a formal recognition by the City Council.
For the purposes of this policy, "Substantial Gift" is defined as at least 50% of the estimated
cost:
(a) of new construction, remodeling, or renovation;
(b) of developing a new real property, i.e. park buildings, structures, real estate, etc; or
(c) the replacement of an existing, unnamed facility or landmark that requires substantial
renovation at the time of the gift.
This policy determines procedures, for a fixed period or indefinitely, for naming of amenities
found within Eagan parks. Items under this policy include, but are not limited to, items of
personal property such as park structures (pavilions, warming houses, sun shelters, nature center,
etc), real estate to be used for parks or open space, sports fields or courts, pools, nature centers,
or other large -scale projects as discussed with the Director of Parks and Recreation.
RECOGNITION
The City of Eagan will consider naming opportunities for outstanding financial contributions
toward facilities, specifically those which enable the amenity to be initially built (i.e., without
the donation the amenity would not be constructed).
The City of Eagan will give special recognition to commemorate long term service to the
community or to a distinguished citizen and such recognition is contingent upon Council
review and approval.
Donors and Donation
"Donors" and "Donation" as defined by this policy, means a substantial financial
contribution toward the cost of an amenity or project. This is defined above as at least
50% of the total estimated cost.
-1-
Naming may be in honor of donor or donors, who may be individuals, groups of
individuals, or corporations. Naming guidelines detailed in the City of Eagan Parks
Naming Policy will apply.
(a) The nature of the donation will assist in determining the naming opportunity.
(b) Donors or donor representatives must sign a donor agreement that delineates
terms of the contribution, unless donor wishes to remain anonymous.
(c) An amenity may be named in honor of a Donor that has contributed all or a
substantial part (defined by this policy as 50 %) of the full costs relating to its
establishment.
(d) The option of funding the amenity for life of said amenity is negotiable and
would require assurance of sufficient funding. There is no exclusive right to sole
naming in cases of expansion or other structural modifications.
(e) A plaque, or negotiated signage may be placed on a building, room, or facility to
acknowledge a Donor. The design, wording, and location of the plaque require
the approval of the City Council.
Naming rights carry no power of direction to the City on matters of schedule,
design, furnishing, or priority of use.
PROPOSALS
(a) Any proposal for naming shall be made through a formal submission to the City
Administrator and Director of Parks and Recreation.
(b) A proposal for naming after a person shall be accompanied by a comprehensive
citation.
(c) The Advisory Parks Commission (APrC) will examine all formal proposals. The
APrC will make a recommendation to Council on proposals.
(d) Proposals must have the written approval of the person or corporate representative
for whom the naming is to recognize. If the person is deceased, the approval of
the family or designated representative should be obtained. If the person is
deceased and there is not family or a designated representative, naming can
proceed.
PROCEDURE
Procedures governing approval of naming proposals are set forth below and may also be
supplemented by such operational guidelines as the City of Eagan may adopt from time
to time. Exceptions from policy requirements must be authorized by the City Council in
p advance of completion of the donation.
-2-
Before Donation: To be considered for naming, donation commitments must come
during the schematic design phase of the project. Schematic design will be overseen
by the appropriate departments of the City of Eagan according to established
procedure.
(a) New construction, substantial renovation, or replacement projects will be
considered for naming opportunities.
(b) All negotiations for naming rights will be conducted in the first instance by the
City Administrator and the Director of Parks and Recreation, under the
authorization of City Council.
These steps should be followed:
Step One: Contact the City of Eagan Parks and Recreation Department to discuss the
procedure for donation. This will include a formal proposal submitted to the City
Administrator and Director of Parks and Recreation.
Step Two: The individual, group, or corporation will present their request to the
Advisory Parks Commission. The APrC will then make a recommendation to City
Council. Perpetual naming will be at the discretion of the City Council,
Step Three: Upon approval by City Council, the Donor Agreement contract will be
signed and kept on record with the City of Eagan. 40
REQUIREMENTS
(a) All donations to be considered for naming rights must be approved by City
Council.
(b) Each donation must be memorialized in a donation agreement approved by the
City Council and the donor or their representatives. The agreements shall be
executed following final approval of the gift as specified by the City of Eagan.
No naming commitments shall be made to donors or other parties before final
approval is granted by the City Council. Records of donation agreement will be
kept by the City of Eagan.
(c) The Director of Parks and Recreation or an appointed staff person is responsible
for overseeing compliance with Policy requirements, including completion of
consultations and approvals, securing signatures on donation agreements by
donor, donor representative, and City of Eagan.
(d) The City of Eagan will be responsible for groundbreaking, dedication, or other
ceremonies relating to named gifts, when appropriate.
-3-
(e) Physical recognition of donors such as signs, placards, etc. will be reviewed and
approved by City Council before being affixed to the amenity unless already
provided for in the existing design guidelines established by the City of Eagan.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
(a) The name used should normally be the family name, or in the case of a corporate
entity, the shortest possible name. Unless Council determines otherwise, a
persons or corporations name may be used in naming a City facility only once.
(b) Where the name of a corporate entity is used, the period of naming will be limited
to the life of the corporate entity.
(c) In the event of demolition or deconstruction of a structure, its name or any part of
it shall be the subject of fresh recommendations.
(d) Naming a building in honor of a person who has given extraordinary
distinguished service to the city will not normally be considered until after their
substantive formal relationship with the city has ended.
(e) The style of naming of structures and facilities should be consistent with the city's
visual standards, or adhering to any city ordinances.
0 (f) City Council may rescind a donor's name for just cause.
(g) Facilities will not normally be named to honor persons who have no formal
connection with the City of Eagan unless they are substantial Donors.
(h) The City Council will consider the naming of a building in recognition of a
corporation which is a benefactor when that corporation;
• Provides not less than 50% of the capital cost of the building, or
• Supports the City with endowments exceeding a specific dollar amount.
TIMING
Proposed naming will come at the time of amenity design schematic. Naming may
not be allowed after the amenity is operational except by Council review and
approval.
Method of donor recognition must be agreed upon and formally approved by City
Council rip r to signing the donor agreement.
METHOD OF PAYMENT
(a) Donation associated with naming proposals can be made by the donor in cash or

than five (5) years, or by the creation of an endowment.
(b) Individual donors may gift a portion of their contribution though an irrevocable
trust or a contractual bequest mechanism.

the donation already paid, and naming rights shall not apply. Should the City fail
to use the funds for the stated purpose in the Donor Agreement, the funds shall be
returned to the donor.
STEWARDSHIP
Stewardship requires that the City of Eagan honor the expectations of donors and abide
by gift agreements, including naming provisions. Naming is generally expected to last
the lifetime of the building, facility, unit, program, or other endeavor. There may
nonetheless be extraordinary circumstances that justify cessation of the use of a name, or
"re- naming," such as change in use, substantial renovation, or demolition of an existing
building, facility, or part thereof, major programmatic changes, failure of a donor to meet
the financial commitment of the donor agreement, or other situations unforeseeable at the
time of the original naming. When appropriate and feasible, when a name is retired,
some form of continuing recognition should be established. In all cases, the City Council.
must approve re- naming.

Twila here is some alder information about the City of Eden Prairie gift program that we used to
distribute. The majority of gifts have been for special events such as our 4 of July celebration
(ranging from $1,000 to $10,000) and a few other special activities. There have been other large
donations for the purchase of the Zamboni's ($40,000) at the Community Center and a $140,000
(40% funding of the total, cost) for a restroom, storage and concession building at Miller Park.
The most common park gift is for the planting of trees or the purchase of a park bench. This
donation amounts are $250. The only time we place a plaque is when a memorial bench is
purchased and a Small 1 1/2 by 4 inch plaque is attached to the back face of the bench. We have
avoided markers and plaques for trees because they are subject to damage from m,ainte=ce
work.
Call me if you have, additional, questions.
