Park Commission Meeting Minutes of April 8, 2003 Meyer moved, Davis seconded, approving the Park Commission Meeting Minutes of April 8, 2003, as submitted. Motion passed 4/0/1, Gilbertson abstaining. 3. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR Chris Lizee, 27055 Smithtown Road, thanked the Park Commission for opening Eddy Station Concessions. She stated that it is a wonderful concession building and regrets that TUSA declined to participate. As a parent and potential volunteer, Ms. Lizee asked if the Commission had a schedule that parents could sign up to volunteer their services at the concessions the evenings it is not manned now. She complimented MGSA for their efforts to run the concessions on Tuesday and Wednesday nights and stated that she knew parents who would like to volunteer for Mondays and Thursdays. Meyer asked what method Lizee would use to recruit these folks. Ms. Lizee stated that she would speak to both parents and coaches to recruit volunteers, and was already familiar with some interested parties. • Gilbertson suggested the City begin a waiting list for interested volunteers to register. Brown arrived at 7:17 P.M. Chair Arrest asked Brown to have Park Secretary Twila Grout create a calendar for volunteers that Ms. Lizee could circulate, which might include Sundays. PARK COMMISSION MINUTES Tuesday, May 13, 2003 Page 2 of 5 iol I Brown stated that the current concessionaire contract did not include Sundays. He pointed out that he had just come from Freeman Park and that even with three volunteers, the customers were lined up to the ballfield backstops. He explained that, while recruiting volunteers would be a noble mission, training those volunteers every night takes greater commitment. While he could not commit, he believed that between, Ms. Grout, Mr. Davis, and himself, someone could be available to train on Sundays. Meyer suggested that the concessionaire consider finding someone to specifically run the concession operations on Sundays, so that City staff would not be burdened with the responsibility. While he fully supported recruiting volunteers for Monday and Thursday evenings, Brown indicated that he would explore the possibilities for Sundays. 4. REPORTS A. Update on Park Coordinator Progress Brown asked CRR representative, Kristi Anderson, to give a brief report. Ms. Anderson stated that, in CRR's view, their position as Park Coordinators for the City of Shorewood has been very successful to date. She reported that collection of 90% of the required sports organization data and fees were completed within one week of the spring sports information meeting held in February. Soon after collection, CRR worked with sports organizations preferred is time slots, and individual sports representatives to resolve conflicts, to create a finalized sports schedule. Ms. Anderson stated that the biggest challenge had proven to be roster collection and a new request for schedule utilization data, in order to allow CRR the ability to compare schedules to usage. Since the 2004 spring information meeting was tentatively slated for November/December, she voiced her concern with regard to supplying schedules prior to collecting fees and documentation for the next year. With regard to on -site monitoring, Ms. Anderson indicated that CRR has made, and will continue, to make visits to the parks to analyze usage and parking. She stated that upon a visit over the past weekend, several scheduled fields were not in use, including all of the soccer fields and softball fields. She pointed out that after speaking to a representative of TUSA working on striping the fields, she learned that TUSA does not use the Freeman rec fields on the weekends at all. Tim BeDuhn, representative of STLL, was pleased to see a representative of the City assessing the field use and stated that he felt things were going well with regard to usage and parking so far. He asked about the menu offered by the Eddy Station concessions, and Ms. Anderson relayed this to the Commission. Ms. Anderson informed the Commission that the fall sports information meeting would be held on Thursday, May 29, 2003, and invited the Commissioners to attend. • B. Update on Eddy Station Brown had nothing further to add to the earlier discussion. PARK COMMISSION MINUTES It Tuesday, May 13, 2003 Page 3 of 5 Meyer indicated that Bennett Family Park had done the City a big favor, with regard to concessions, and reminded staff to acknowledge them for their assistance. C. Recreation Parks Association Young reported that the Minnesota Park and Recreation Association was very enthusiastic to support Shorewood and provide speakers for the seminar series this fall. They, too, believed that the goal for the seminar, to be held October 14, 2003, should be to share trends, communicate successful practices, and network with other commissions. Young noted that the Mn. Park and Rec. Assoc was committed to developing and mailing brochures and invitations, and handling registration for the event at the Southshore Center. They believed that an initial goal of 30 people at approximately $10 per person would be realistic. He indicated that he and Chair Arnst would be meeting with the Association again on June 12 to refine the format and agenda. Chair Arnst added that the Association complimented Shorewood for its continued initiative and would try to find Commissions with similar hands -on commitment to participate. She indicated that Victoria had already expressed interest in the event and that Shorewood would have additional input into the agenda and guest list. She stated that this would, hopefully, be the first in a three part series of seminars. Brown asked if 20 -30 attendees was realistic or enough. Chair Arnst stated that the Mn. Park and Recreation Association was of the opinion that quality was more important than quantity when it came to attendees. She stated that the guest list would likely be made up of 100 + individuals, with a turnout of potentially 30 -35 people. Meyer questioned whether Chair Amst found the new direction the event was taking to be acceptable. Chair Arnst maintained that the direction was not too different and that Shorewood should still be able to add to the agenda and offer input to shape the event. Brown complimented the Commission for being on the cutting edge. Chair Amst stated that, it seems, most people are surprised at the accomplishments made by a small community like Shorewood on its park front and told the Commissioners they had much to be proud of. She added that the Association and others wish to hear more from Community Rec Resources. 5. DISCUSS SCHEDULE AND FORMAT FOR UPCOMING EVENTS A. Park Tours • Chair Arnst suggested the Commission take a riding road tour of the parks via a Southshore senior center bus, and visit other points of interest in Deephaven and Chanhassen as well. She informed the Commission that the Park Foundation would like to buy them dinner at Freeman Eddy Station concessions one night and have an informal discussion. She asked Brown if the Commission might visit the public works maintenance buildings and view the equipment used in the parks on the park tour. PARK COMMISSION MINUTES Tuesday, May 13, 2003 Page 4 of 5 1 While the Commissioners liked the idea of a roadtrip, Young questioned whether they would be able to view the parks up close and personal enough to note repairs. 0 Brown stated that, as it is their job, the public works staff, namely Mr. Davis, usually sees and takes care of all of the repair work necessary in the parks. He pointed out that it is the job of the Park Commission to look beyond the repair work, at policy, what's happening in the parks, what's right, what's wrong, and craft a vision that each of the parks should evolve into. Meyer felt it to be an important piece of orientation for new commissioners to view all of the parks. Brown agreed, noting that the orientation would accompany the park tour. B. Joint Meeting with Park Foundation Chair Arnst asked the Commissioners to provide her with any suggestions within the next couple of days in regard to the second meeting in June for the joint Park Foundation meeting and park bus tour slated for July 8, 2003. C. Determine Liaison for City Council Meeting of May 27, 2003 Commissioner Davis volunteered. • 6. DISCUSS JOINT MEETING WITH CITY COUNCIL Brown indicated that a second joint City Council meeting would likely happen in July /August and asked for any comments with regard to the one held this spring. Although she enjoyed and learned from the joint meeting, Davis stated that she felt the City Council rushed through their presentation in order to adhere to the schedule, and perhaps she would have liked to hear more. Chair Arnst agreed, stating that the meeting seemed rushed and should last longer when all three groups are present. She felt that it was exciting to have both Commissions and Council at the same meeting and that an interesting commentary could have occurred provided there was more time. 7. NEW BUSINESS A. New Commissioner Orientation As new commissioner training was very important, Chair Arnst reminded staff to utilize the spiral bound orientation handbook developed in 2001 for the Administrator to present to Commissioner Gilbertson. Although staff is currently carrying a heavy burden, Brown indicated that they had discussed the • topic of orientation. and acknowledged that it needs to be handled as soon as possible. Chair Arnst added that the fall seminar series would also provide an invaluable training tool for cities. PARK COMMISSION MINUTES Tuesday, May 13, 2003 Page 5 of 5 • B. Soccer Field Placement During a recent conversation with Gordon Lindstrom, of Adult Softball, Mr. Lindstrom pointed out to Chair Arnst the dangerous proximity of the soccer fields to the softball fields. She stated that the soccer fields had been marked right up to Softball Field #6 and she and Lindstrom were concerned about the safety of kids playing soccer so close to the softball fields. Since there was plenty of room to do so, she asked that staff ask that the soccer fields be moved over 50' for safety reasons. C. Emailing of Park Packets Brown stated that the packets wouldn't typically be emailed to the Commissioners, however, he had been held up by a three day watermain leak. Gilbertson indicated that he would not have a problem with receiving packets by email. Meyer stated that she would prefer to receive the packets further than 24 hours in advance to review the material. D. Other New Business Brown reported that the City received a call from Charlotte Beaddy, of the Senior Center, to reserve the Badger tennis courts. She had indicated that MCES had referred her to the City, since they no longer handle scheduling for the City. He noted that they would be reserving the courts on Mondays from 9-11 AM from May 26"' through mid October. Since the new conceal and carry law exempts city owned properties, Turgeon reported that the City Council adopted a resolution to encourage the league of Cities to continue to lobby for additional language to be added that allows cities to post no weapons signs on public property. She stated that there is great concern among the Council members, Mayor, and staff for the safety of city employees and citizens in our parks. With regard to the parking issue in Freeman Park mentioned earlier, Gilbertson suggested that the Commission consider posting `car pool' parking spots in the parking lots to encourage greater car pooling by patrons. He felt self policing by residents would work wonders. 8. ADJOURNMENT Young moved, Gilbertson seconded, adjourning the Park Commission Meeting of May 13, 2003, at 8:12 P.M. Motion passed 510. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, Kristi B. Anderson Recording Secretary • CITY OF SHOREWOOD 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD PARK COMMISSION WORK SESSION CITY HALL TUESDAY, MAY 13, 2003 7:30 P.M. OR IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING REGULAR MEETING • MINUTES 1. CONVENE PARK COMMISSION WORK SESSION Chair Arnst convened the Work Session meeting at 8:20 P.M. A. Roll Call Present: Chair Arnst, Commissioners Young, Meyer, Davis, and Gilbertson; Engineer Brown; Engineering Technician Bailey; and City Council liaison Turgeon Absent: Commissioners Callies and Palesch B. Review Agenda 2. MASTER PLAN / CIP A. Discussion of Implementation of Master Plan Recommendations and Allocation of Funds Chair Arnst stated that the Commission had the opportunity to evaluate the CIP for the first time in over two years, due to a positive balance in the budget from recent park dedication fees. She indicated that the fund had a $27,000 balance, less $1,000 for the purchase of concession equipment. She asked the Commission to consider whether they wished to spend some of the budget this year or prorate it over the next few years, since little money is generated each year. Although not included in the budget, Brown noted that the Park Fund would likely be receiving funds from the Linden Hills subdivision and the Capestone developments at a later date. He stated that, typically, the city sees 8 -10 simple subdivisions per year from which park dedication fees are required. Brown suggested the Commission consider pursuing other opportunities for generating revenue down the road, including cellular and liquor committee funds. Turgeon suggested the Commission evaluate liquor committee funds after the stores are redeveloped and updated this year, since revenues are down. While the park master plans recommended no great sweeping changes for any of the parks, Brown noted that certain needs or deficiencies had been identified which portions of the $26,000 could be used for. He stated that $5,000 was already budgeted for resurfacing the Badger tennis courts, whereas, the Cathcart courts would be slated for next year. Turgeon stated that representatives of the senior center had requested that the City change the curve accessing the center from the City Hall parking lot, since it is difficult to maneuver. • Brown stated that the current lot configuration was due to the proximity to the neighboring property. While he would take a look at it, Brown indicated that a new layout would cost parking near the hockey rink. Due to the expense, Brown stated that he would push for this project to come out of the roadway fund versus park fund. PARK COMMISSION WORK SESSION Tuesday, May 13, 2003 Page 2 of 5 Turgeon recommended he consider whether this would have an adverse effect on the park or provide • the senior with additional parking for their buses. Chair Arnst asked if they could identify any additional immediate needs in the parks. Bailey suggested they consider updating the park signs at the entrances to the parks, at an estimated cost of $1,500 per sign. Young recommended they consider updating the combination basketball /tennis backboard and surface at Silverwood Park. He noted that it was in rather shabby condition during a past park tour. Chair Arnst suggested Brown evaluate its condition and make a recommendation to the Commission about its repair and costs. She asked Brown whether Badger Park was in need of updating. Brown stated that the Badger well house was slated to be reconstructed this year as part of the preliminary design. He added that, while lighting was also a need, it was an expensive option, costing approximately $40,0000 to relight the area. He stated that the drinking fountain at Freeman was always an issue. Chair Arnst agreed that Silverwood was a highly used baby buggy park. 0 Brown stated that the erosion near the slide was an ongoing issue and acknowledged that the park was well used. Chair Arnst inquired whether the signage was posted at the Skate Park. Brown indicated that the rules and signage was posted, but had recently been defaced. He stated that they were working to resolve some altercations that had ensued between bikers and bladers/boarders at the park lately also. Brown pointed out that a new sign encased in plexiglass had been ordered. He indicated that the Minnesota League of Cities had visited the park and had positive comments for the City. While the City had made a commitment to the neighbors not to expand the park, Brown asked what else the Commission could do to enhance the park. He commented that, early on, the American Legion had committed to donate $1,000 annually to the park for picnic tables, benches, etc. if they were allowed to sponsor the park. Chair Arnst asked Brown to pursue the Legion and ask whether they wished to continue with that commitment. Turgeon asked whether the police department, SLPD, would be continuing to spend time at the skate park this year. While the police department has changed its opinion, and thinks the park is a great asset, Brown . stated that he has not seen Officer Hanson, or others, at the park as much as they'd like. PARK COMMISSION WORK SESSION Tuesday, May 13, 2003 Page 3 of 5 Chair Arnst asked whether the City could provide the bikers with an area to call their own in order to avoid problems at the skate park. She noted that Chaska had built a bike spot right next to their skate park and questioned if there was a small spot near Shorewood's skate park to do the same. If not the Skate Park, Meyer suggested they consider Manor Park for a small bike area. Chair Amst recommended that they investigate this option and, in the mean time, landscape around the signs. As part of the original commitment, Brown agreed that landscaping around the Skate Park entrance was necessary. Chair Arnst pointed out that Manor Park provided many things to many people and little more could be done there. Brown stated that aerating the pond would cost approximately $3,800, and he questioned the benefit. With regard to Cathcart Park, the Commission agreed that there were no pressing needs at this time. Freeman Park, on the other hand, was unique and Chair Arnst questioned whether the Commission supported the brick oasis proposed by the Park Foundation. Young and Meyer indicated that they did not support providing any financial assistance with regard to the brick oasis. Since the City Council forgave the Park Foundation its commitment and debt for Eddy Station, Young questioned why the Commission would feel inclined to give them money for this project they have proposed. From his understanding, Young stated that they have gone back to the drawing board with the brick project they initiated for the park. Meyer suggested the Commission focus on the identified needs of the park, including a perimeter trail for the seniors. Chair Amst suggested that Turgeon relay an invitation to the City Council to attend the joint Park Foundation meeting with the Commission, so that they can make some recommendations to the Park Foundation as well. She suggested the Commission offer the Foundation other opportunities to put up the bricks, for instance on the side of Eddy Station. Having just received a phone call, Brown reported that the Concessions ran out of everything this evening and during the first week, sales topped $800, less costs. • Brown summarized, stating that, while the Commission could accept the brick oasis, the Foundation would need to bear the entire burden, including any furniture. Young suggested the Foundation consider building the oasis in phases and indicated that he had seen no timeline or clear commitment from the Foundation as to their plans. PARK COMMISSION WORK SESSION Tuesday, May 13, 2003 Page 4 of 5 Chair Arnst indicated that the Commission does have a request for the completion of the outer perimeter trail to be beefed up, and questioned how the bricks could be used in some way there. Brown stated that, while the Park Commission should focus on what's important to fit the needs of the people, the Park Foundation has focused its efforts on completing this dream of theirs to contribute an oasis at the park. Gilbertson suggested that the Commission explain this difference in philosophy or vision to the Foundation at the joint meeting. Brown indicated that he would obtain an estimate for the outer trail using City labor and investigate options for incorporating the bricks along the trail. Davis pointed out that the Arboretum incorporates bricks along a wall that people can sit or rest upon. While the outer trail should be considered as an improvement for Freeman, Young suggested staff touch base with Mr. Davis, of public works, to identify any further needs the Commission should consider. Chair Arnst suggested that members of the Park Foundation be provided with copies of the park master plans prior to the meeting. She advised the Commissioners to be prepared for additional discussions put forth by the Foundation, including paved trails, another ballfield, expanded parking, and an additional youth size softball field. Brown indicated that he would submit the `car pooling' parking signage option to the City Council at the next meeting for a trial basis of 10 spots. B. Freeman Park Wetland Area Davis reported that, with a modest amount of clean -up and minimal planting, the wetland area could provide a desirable passive use space. She stated that the wetland could be a beautiful destination along the trail walk. Brown suggested Davis contact MCWD, who has the ability to provide grant dollars, for wetland restoration projects. Since this was not a political issue, he felt that they could obtain some funding for the restoration project rather readily. Davis indicated that the educational component of the rain garden could support the idea to MCWD. She stated that there were not too many desirable trees left in the wetland area. Chair Arnst believed that the restoration of the wetland and passive space for the trail both fit the criteria for Freeman park, and could also offer benches or sitting spots where the bricks could be installed. PARK COMMISSION WORK SESSION Tuesday, May 13, 2003 Page 5 of 5 3. DOG OWNER EDUCATION A. Discuss Motivational/Education Steps Since the new dog ordinance was recently passed, Chair Arrest felt the City should do more to educate dog owners of City policy. She suggested they send out a dog policy brochure, sample mutt mitt, and dog biscuit, each time we renew a dog license. She shared with the Commission signage that the City of Chanhassen attached to its trail signs in an effort to encourage dog owners to clean up after their pets. Chair Arrest asked if Shorewood should post similar signs along the trails. While she believed they were `preaching to the choir', and that responsible dog owners already follow the ordinances, Davis asked how the City could reach those who don't care. Bailey suggested the City attach a fine to the offense. Meyer felt the Chanhassen signage to be clever way of educating the public. Brown agreed that, while the good owners already pick up after their pets, other people will see these signs as well. He pointed out that Shorewood was not the only City to face this problem • and commented that, in Colorado, one City has gone so far as to hire a service to pick up dog feces in their community on a regular basis. He stated that he would have Twila Grout investigate to find out what other communities have done to curb this problem and report back to the Commission. Chair Arrest suggested that the City begin by updating the brochure with the new Ordinance and send out the package they discussed with each dog license. 4. OTHER BUSINESS Brown reported that the Shorewood Market would be vacating the property, since it was not making a profit. As ICO is the lease holder of the property, consideration will be given to the best use of the site. He indicated that the American Legion had approached the City regarding a joint venture for liquor operations. Brown continued, noting that Cub Foods was slated for its grand opening in October sometime and that he would be meeting with property owners along Lake Linden in the coming weeks to discuss the trail. As the trail has already gone thru the public process, Brown indicated that he would continue to speak directly with affected owners, if the Commission could support that. The Commission concurred with Brown. 4. ADJOURN • Meyer moved, Young seconded, adjourning the Park Commission Work Session of May 13, 2003, at 10:05 P.M. Motion passed 510.

Council directed staff to review alternatives to the design that would minimize costs. Staff has reviewed the project and offers the following comments: Many individuals have pointed out the fact that the south end of Freeman Park is not as aesthetically pleasing as the north end. One of the reasons for this is the lack of definition of the southerly parking area. Staff is recommending re- grading of the parking area and place landscaping around the border. In addition, wooden bollards would be placed along the westerly edge of the lot to help guide parking. One of the battles of Freeman Park is trying to accommodate the volume of parking necessary. Staff has suggested that a "reasonable lot area" be defined with a rock base, and assume that overflow parking will park on the turf areas to the south. This type of scenarios is based on the assumption that it is acceptable to have turf areas that are not manicured. Traffic will deteriorate the turf areas that are parked on. However, this type of approach prevents Freeman Park from becoming an ocean of parking lots. The area that is currently blocked off by field 2 is to become a pedestrian walkway. This path would be 8.0 feet in width to provide for an alternative emergency vehicle access. Staff is recommending that the trail be paved, and constructed by City personnel. Staff will present the concept during the meeting. At that time, a preliminary cost estimate will also be presented for the Park Commissions consideration.

Specifically, the Park Commission requested a preliminary cost estimate for construction of an asphalt path in Freeman Park, around the edges of ball fields 4, 5, and 6. Attachment 1 is the site location map of the trail. Costs were calculated based upon the following assumptions: Length of trail: 2300 feet Width of trail: 5.0 feet Construction: Public Works personnel will construct the path. Based upon the above assumptions, material costs were calculated for the path. Table 1 is a summary of the costs. Description Cost Aggregate Base $ 2,550 Asphalt $ 7,990 Black Dirt and Seed $ 950 Total $11,490 Table 1 c: The above prices do not reflect any costs for rental of a paver. Recently, the City has obtained a quote for a used paver for trail construction. This was considered after the City of Tonka Bay and Excelsior voiced a willingness to participate in the costs of the paver. This is still under consideration. c � PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER #5c • • • E r c C F- C C O 0 C C L e J a J J A n i J 1 :. OPEN SPACE M HE INPRaM 0 300 600 LINE NO. SPEC. NO.
