MINUTES
F)MI-1
The Park Commission met at Eddy Station at 7:00 P.M. along with Mark Koegler, of Hoisington
Koegler Group, and Engineer Brown to tour Freeman Park.
The Commission toured the park noting the many amenities at the park for all age groups. The
Commission noted the fine turf in the open areas, the well- maintained play equipment near the
Depot, and the looped pedestrian trail through the park. . In another area of the park, the
Commission observed the pavilion, volleyball court, batting cages, pitchers' mounds, bleachers,
and concession stand near the Reutiman Lane access. The Commission heard plans for the
proposed parking lot and access closure off the Highway 7. After walking the trail to Eureka
Road, the Commission returned through the parking area to The Depot to continue with the
meeting for the evening. As part of the park tour, many questions and suggestions were heard,
such as:
• Question regarding adverse possession of park property
• Removal of buckthorn undergrowth to maintain healthy wooded area and potentially
open up the wooded area for additional picnic areas
• Ownership and liability of the concession stand near Fields 1, 2 and 3
• Completion of the trail as per the development agreement for the segment near Park Lane
• Potential for pedestrian trail along Eureka Road from north of Park Lane to main
• entrance
• Examine possibilities for a paved perimeter trail of the park
• Options for placement of the paved perimeter trail inside the easement area
• Consider a one -way circulation pattern for traffic through the park and/or through the
main parking area
• Reinstatement of picnic tables within the wooded area near the main parking area
The Commission thanked Engineer Brown and Public Works Staff for its outstanding
maintenance and continued efforts to beautify Freeman Park.

3. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
There were no matters from the floor presented this evening.
4. REPORTS
A. Report on City Council Meetings of May 28, 2002 and June 10, 2002
With the arrival of Park Foundation member Ken Dallman, and without objection from the
Commission, Chair Amst proceeded to Item 4B.
B. Update on Water Fountain
Mr. Dallman reported brick sales to be sporadic as part of the fundraising efforts designated for Eddy
Station. He also reported the Park Foundation would be organizing an Arts and Crafts Fair on
November 2, 2002, at the Minnetonka Senior High School. Booths remained available for rental
with proceeds of booth rental also designated for Eddy Station.
With regard to a water fountain being placed at Eddy Station, Engineer Brown reviewed the history
of fountain usage at Freeman Park. He stated the cost to plumb the fountain to be approximately
$9,000. Engineer Brown also questioned where the bricks might be placed that were being
purchased as part of the fundraising efforts of the Park Foundation.
Commissioner Palesch arrived at 7:45 P.M.
Mr. Dallman stated he liked the idea of the bricks being functional, rather than decorative, and
suggested the bricks be laid in a pattern around a freestanding water fountain area. After a brief
discussion, the Commission determined the fountain might best be suited as a mounted fountain on
the exterior of Eddy Station.
•
•
Commissioner Meyer questioned the amount of bricks needed for this project. Mr. Dallman stated he
was uncertain, however, corporate sponsors were also being discussed in addition to individual
sponsors as a means of stimulating brick sales. 0

• Commissioner Young commented, while he liked the idea of a drinking fountain, he was concerned
about the ongoing vandalism at Eddy Station and noted people were already in the habit of bringing
drinks with them to the park as there was not an external fountain for use.
In response to Councilmember Lizee's question, Mr. Koegler, of Hoisington Koegler and acting as
consultant/facilitator for the parks' Master Plans, stated most fountains were mounted rather than
freestanding in parks having been redeveloped. Council Liaison Lizee questioned Engineer Brown
as to his opinion on the matter. Engineer Brown responded the surveillance would be utilized to
deter vandalism toward the fountain mounted on the exterior. He noted all drinking fountains to be a
continuous maintenance item and somewhat troublesome.
Engineer Brown also noted it was important to be able to cast a vision as to the exact use of the
bricks when marketing their use. Commissioner Young suggested the use of a project where the
bricks could be added over time. Commissioner Meyer and Chair Arnst agreed, noting the
Commission would continue to consider brick use as part of its considerations and discussions in the
near future.
Chair Arnst then returned to Item 4A on the Agenda for the evening.
Council Liaison Lizee reported on matters considered and actions taken at the May 28, 2002, and
June 10, 2002, Regular City Council Meetings (as detailed in the minutes of that meeting). She
noted approval was granted for signage at the Skate Park, and a Conditional Use Permit granted for
i s temporary seasonal use of the awnings on the fields at the south end of the park. In addition, she
explained Council had indicated support for the proposed Public Safety facility and its funding
mechanisms, as well as directed Staff to prepare Findings of Fact for approval of a Comprehensive
Plan Amendment for redevelopment of the Shorewood Village Shopping Center to include a CUB
Foods store.
C. Update on Concessions at "The Depot
Engineer Brown explained the process regarding opening The Depot for concession patronage was
moving at a brisk pace. He noted the Health Department had imposed a number of regulations
limiting the kinds of food items to be served and encouraging the sales of healthful snacks. Engineer
Brown stated June 17, 2002, was a potential date for beginning concession service at The Depot.
D. Update on Park Management Status and Job
Engineer Brown reported progress continued on this matter, noting guidelines were being gathered
for performance standards for the position, and an advertisement would need to be placed in the
official city newspaper with a request for proposal as part of the process for park management.
E. Update on Freeman Park Access Closure and Parking Lot Improvement
• Engineer Brown reviewed the plan for the access closure and parking lot improvement in the
Reutiman Lane area of the park. He noted the parking area would have curb and gutter with a
mountable curb to allow emergency vehicles to access the park grounds. He stated discussions
continued regarding the separation methods used to segregate the pedestrian trail from the parking

area. Also, he noted discussions continued with the Minnesota Department of Transportation with
regard to funding of this project, however, he explained the Council had approved a resolution to
enact the bidding phase of the project.
5. MASTER PLAN REVIEW — FREEMAN PARK
Mr. Koegler presented and reviewed the discussion sheets used at the previous Commission meeting
to determine needs and opportunities for growth within Freeman Park.
Commissioner Palesch suggested the entrance from Eureka Road on the north lot be designated a
one -way entrance.
Mr. Koegler complimented Engineer Brown and Staff for the fine turf and stated the City should be
proud of its accomplishments, as he believed this was one of the nicer parks in the metropolitan area.
In addition, he questioned the amount of pedestrian movement in and around the park. Engineer
Brown explained the park was used by a variety of users; however, a significant amount of pedestrian
use came from the seniors in the nearby housing development.
Chair Arnst commented on the seemingly improved timing of the field use and parking as well as the
usefulness of the organizational meeting with the sports organizations. Members of the Commission
agreed. Commissioner Young also commented he thought it important to continue to try to work
with the sports organizations to work out a cooperative scheduling arrangement between teams rather
than issue directives from the Commission. 0
Mr. Koegler suggested surveying the seniors in the immediate vicinity to determine additional
improvement opportunities for passive park users. The idea of inviting the seniors to Eddy Station
for an open house style meeting to discuss the matter was suggested and desired by the Commission.
Chair Arnst thanked Mr. Koegler for his efforts in the Master Plan for the park.
6. DETERMINE VICE CHAIR FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2002
Palesch moved, Bartlett seconded, Recommending Commissioner Howard Young as Vice -chair
for the remainder of the Year 2002.
Much to the delight of the Commission, Commissioner Young accepted the nomination for the
position.
Motion passed 6/0.
7. NEW BUSINESS
A brief discussion continued regarding the use of the brick pavers in various projects near Eddy Is
Station, such as near a landscaped garden area, or picnic area.

RE: Equity Policy
DATE: June 27, 2002
If the Park Commission recommends a Park Management coordinator position to the City Council, it may
be beneficial to also recommend an "equity policy" as a guideline for that person to follow when
determining field/space allocation. The Park Commission will need to discuss and reach consensus on the
need for such a policy.
Following is a sampling of policies used in our neighboring cities for facility scheduling. This sampling is
intended to be simply a starting point for any discussion and consensus, not necessarily models for us to
follow. Please take the time to read them carefully, and be prepared to share your thoughts on:
(1) the need for a policy and
(2) what would be appropriate to recommend to the Council. Thank you.

POLICY
ESTABLISHING GUIDELINES FOR PRIORITY USE
OF PARKLAND ATHLETIC FACILITIES
PURPOSE AND INTENT;
J5,12 IJ6j U.511 h'.IOc' /bS
The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for priority use of park facilities within the Cities of
Hopkins and Minnetonka, while providing for the health, safety and welfare of the general public.
It is the intent of this policy to grant priority use for exclusive or ongoing use of municipal athletic facilities
to those organizations which operate programs under the same general guidelines which govern public
programs operated by Hopkins - Minnetonka Recreation Services.
REQUIREMENTS OF ORGANIZATIONS THAT RECEIVE FREE OR PRIORITY USAGE RATES FOR
LEAGUE USE OF ATHLETIC FACILITIES:
Organizations which request special permits to offer ongoing programs on municipal property without
paying a usage fee, or at priority usage rates, are required to comply with the following guidelines:
• Organizations must be Hopkins - Minnetonka based, nonprofit, public service groups. Hopkins -
Minnetonka based is defined as having the majority of their clientele (85 %) located within the two
cities and may serve residents of the Hopkins and Minnetonka School districts. "Non - profit" means, a
not for profit organization as defined by state statutes. "Public service group" is defined as a group
organized to provide a public service to the entire community, or all individuals in the community or
sponsoring area within the age group being served.
• Organizations must be able to submit a copy of all bylaws or documents which govern their operation
to Recreation Services. These documents must be available for public review. This would include a
list of Board Members and a copy of Board minutes from the previous three meetings.
• Organizations are to make all information concerning the governance of their programs available to
participants/parents upon request.
• Meetings of the organization's governing body, except those which deal with personnel issues and
litigation, are to be publicized in advance and open to participation by all program registrants.
• The formation of the organization's governing body is to be a process which is open to all program
members.
• Coaches working in youth sport organizations are to be trained and/or certified through a program
deemed appropriate by the Hopkins- Minnetonka Recreation Services Department. This training will
address values, ethics, safety, and liability.
• Organizations are to be adequately prepared for dealing with participants that have special needs.
•

• Organizations are not to discriminate against program participants or applicants in any manner.
• Organisations must submit a current program registration form. This form must indicate their
eligibility area and the registration procedure.
• Organizations must be able to produce registration numbers and game and practice schedules from
the previous season of play.
• Eligible organizations must be able to submit a certificate of insurance having an aggregate amount
of $'100,000 /person or $300,000/incident coverage. it may be necessary to include the two cities as
"additionally insured."
Other Contributing Factors To Consider:
• Is the organization administration a paid position or a volunteer position?
• What is the impact of the request on other organizations?
• is the requesting organization using other community facilities outside of City fields?
• Is the organization's request consistent with requests from similar organizations?
• What is the organization's history with the City?
• Games will take priority over practices.
• Has the request significantly changed from the previous years use? If so, why?
Use of Facilities by "Outside" Organizations:
Requests received from organizations outside of Hopkins - Minnetonka, or from local organizations who
participate in a predominantly outside program, will be considered on an individual basis. Consideration
to these requests will only be made after consulting with the respective Park Departments in regards to
the condition of the athletic fields. Although a facility may be available, it may not be in the best interest
of the facility to schedule additional activities. Again, this will be determined on an individual basis.
In those cases where permission is granted, the permitted organization will be assessed a fee based on
the actual costs associated with the use. The actual fee will vary depending on the actual usage and
services provided.
It is anticipated that local organizations may be desirous to conduct a tournament. Tournaments requests
will be treated differently than requests for league play and will follow the Tournament Use Policy already
in operation.

RE: County Road 19 Streetscape Concept
• FILE NO. Streets - County Road 19
Earlier this Spring the City Council directed the Planning Commission to prepare a
corridor study for County Road 19 between the Shorewood/Tonka Bay border and the
Shorewood/Excelsior border. The corridor study is to serve as a guide for future
development along County Road 19 as well as for public improvements along the
corridor.
Mr. George Watson, a landscape architect with Brauer and Associates was then
subcontracted to prepare "streetscape" plans for the upcoming County Road 19
intersection project. Since the intersection will set the tone for the rest of the corridor,
Mr. Brauer was asked to expand his work, at least the concept portion, to the entire
corridor. The result of his work to date is the attached concept plan. This plan has
been reviewed by the Planning Commission and the LCEC. The LCEC's input was
focussed on landscaping along the corridor, particularly the Gideon Glen property.
Mr. Watson was specifically directed to address pedestrian circulation in the area near
the intersection. Since trails are of particular interest to the Park Commission, we are
forwarding the Concept Plan to you for your review and comments. It should be
noted that Mr. Watson began with the City's Trail Concept Plan, which had
previously been recommended by the Park Commission for inclusion in the
Shorewood Comprehensive Plan. For the most part, the attached plans are consistent
• with the Comp Plan. There are, however, three new areas for which trails are
co PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER
proposed that need to be discussed. First, the access to the Gideon Glen conservation
site is proposed through the American Legion property. This has been discussed
• previously by the LCEC and is intended to take advantage of an existing parking
facility. The intent is to not encourage pedestrian traffic to cross County Road 19
(e.g. if people park at Smithtown Crossings). Obviously this will take cooperation
between the City and the Legion.
The second area is a trail extending from County Road 19 to the LRT Trail through
the new public safety facility site. While some type of connection may be desirable,
the Public Works Director and the Police Chief are concerned about security at the
rear of the new building and the adjoining public works facility.
Finally, the consultant recommends a trail through Badger Park to connect with
County Road 19. This is strictly internal to the park and Park Commission input is
requested on this element.
With respect to the sidewalk system adjacent to the proposed revised intersection,
space and MSA funding will likely dictate the width and material for the trail. As you
are aware, MSA funding allows bituminous trails, eight feet wide or concrete trails,
five feet wide. Due to limited space within the right -of -way, concrete is likely to be
the only option.
The attached plans will be discussed at the Park Commission's 9 July meeting, at
which time your comments on the trails, as well as the landscape elements are invited.
• Staff would like to present the plans to the Council at its 22 July meeting.
If you have any questions relative to this material, please,.do not hesitate to contact me
Tuesday afternoon at 952- 474 -6558.

RE: Small concession stand
DATE: June 27, 2002
At our last park tour, questions arose regarding agreements between STBB and the City of Shorewood
regarding the small concession stand. Further discussion occurred at the June 24, 2002 City Council
meeting. At that meeting, the City Attorney, Tim Keane, clearly stated that there needs to be a formal
operating agreement between the City and Park Commission.
Attached is a first draft of Mr. Keane's proposed agreement. Please review this document carefully and be
prepared to discuss at our next meeting. Again, this document is a draft only, and will serve as a basis for
our first discussion. We can suggest changes and if they meet with the city's legal obligations, Mr. Keane
will consider them for inclusion.
Ultimately, we will need to recommend to the City Council that the staff meet with STBB explaining the
purpose and need for such an agreement, and that the final version of this document be executed by all
parties.
• Please let me know if you have questions.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Craig W. Dawson, City Administrator
DATE: July 3, 2002
SUBJECT: South Concession Building in Freeman Park
At its June 24 meeting, the City Council requested information regarding the operations by South
Tonka Little League at the south concession building in Freeman Park. In particular, the Council
wished to know what responsibilities or liabilities the City may have regarding the operations and
operators of the concessions.
We scoured the files and found the following documents and history of this building:
1) The building was constructed per _a CUP approved by the Council on February 8, 1993
(Resolution No. 26 -93). Key understandings in the Whereas clauses of the resolution were:
• . South Tonka Little League could construct a building "to be used for maintenance and
equipment storage and occasional concession sales for the southerly baseball fields, ..."
• The building "will be donated to the City of Shorewood."
2) Ina letter dated February 11, 1996, the president of South Tonka Little League, David
Steinkamp, the building was officially donated to the City of Shorewood.
• STLL asserted it retained exclusive use of the building.
• Shorewood would be responsible to maintain the outside of the building, including the
insurance coverage deemed necessary.
• STLL would be responsible to maintain the inside of the building, including the insurance
coverage deemed necessary.
• Utility bills would be paid by STLL.
3) The City receives utility bills for this building, and sends an invoice to STLL for repayment.
4) The City insures the building. LMCIT premiums are:
* Building $32,338 value $458 annual premium
* Contents $ 1,293 value $ 17 annual premium
Apparently, we do not have any keys for entry to the building.

RE: South Tonka Little League Concession Building- Freeman Park
This memorandum is in response to your inquiry relating to the operation of the South Tonka
Little League Concession Building at Freeman Park.
In 1993, the City approved a conditional use permit for the construction of a concession building
by South Tonka Little League Baseball Organization of a concession building for sales of
concessions to park patrons in Freeman Park. Based upon review of the file and conditional use
permit relating to the project, it is my understanding that no operational agreement exists
between South Tonka Little League and the City of Shorewood for the operation of the facility.
In the absence of such an agreement, I have concerns relating to insurance, indemnification,
operational issues of the concession facility in a city park and delineation of the rights and
responsibilities between the parties. It is my strong recommendation the City of Shorewood
enter into an agreement with the South Tonka Little League Baseball Organization to address the
above - referenced issues.
Should you have any questions relating to the foregoing, please contact me at 952- 896 -3203.
