5. UPDATE ON MUSIC IN THE PART{
Anderson summarized the summer in the parks additions, including Will Hale and the Tadpole Parade,
Kid Power with Rachael, tennis, karate and many others. She stated that staff had merely received one
CD submission for Garage Band Jam, voicing her concern that the deadline was fast approaching.
Anderson pointed out that last year staff received about a dozen submittals and had expected to be
recruiting Commissioners to evaluate them at this point She mentioned that Excelsior had cancelled their
battle of the bands due to lack of interest and hoped we would not end up domg the same.
Chair Norman suggested staff touch base with MCE to let them know hctii�, Manor Park is coming along
and invite them to consider programming in the park next spring.
6. RECOMMEND PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT FOR NTA,NOR PARK
Anderson reviewed the 2010 CIP for Manor Park shelter 414playground, totaling an estimated
expenditure of $185,000. She shared news of a $30,OQ9.:award from Boundless Playgrou os be used in
combination with the Hennepin County Grant award of $1i14;2Q0, to addi offset the accessible
playground costs, estimated at approximately $150,000. She eXpl4irued that based on the actual
anticipated costs for the two projects of $235,000 less the total gr,t awards of $134,200 would leave a
total cash outlay by the City of merely $1 ANA Approximately $8Qd00 less than was originally
budgeted for the two projects together. She cdlppaired this to getting th@ playgtound virtua]ly done for
free.
Anderson pointed out that two different families with ha"dicapped children in the Manor Park
neighborhood had contacted Ljit and Hennepin'County Commissioner Callison to help plead for
these awards.
The playground manufacfkihpointedxiut that the totally'accessible neighborhood park playground
would be the first of its kind m ile Mid esi, potmg that Shorewood would be the premier municipality
to provide this ejieretloe.
Andersortindicated that aftar3Taving met�uithAhe manufacturer several times they had designed a
bountTCs &piayground which 46ild entirely fit within the parameters of the current play structure, even
retaining the Siang set to the southern edge. She presented the Commission with a color poster of the
design and t n &c or samples fotthem to discuss.
Chair Norman statedthat, despite the large investment, the totally accessible play set would serve a dual
purpose for all children. S3ezroted that the overall investment was less than the original estimates in the
CIP and encouraged the Commission to support it.
The Commission discussed the color palette and chose the `Forest' sample, browns and greens, as it
would better fit into the color scheme for the park and shelter.
Anderson pointed out that staff had gone to considerable lengths to try to save money where possible.
She indicated that public works staff had agreed to remove the existing play equipment and pea gravel, to
allow for the all volunteer installation, and then replace the pea gravel for the rubberized overlay and
concrete work provided by the manufacturer.

Chair Norman asked Public Works staff whether they felt comfortable with the work and if maintenance
and vandalism issues could be foreseen.
Director Brown indicated that he was comfortable with the work they would be assuming and noted that
while some vandalism may occur, the equipment would require no more maintenance than any other
playground.
Anderson reiterated the fact that the installation would require about 50 volunteers and pointed to each of
the Commissioner asking them to show up with 1 -2 additional helpers on Julys l" for the install. She
mentioned that the anticipated installation would occur on or about July 31 ' that the City would need
to recruit many volunteers.

of Shorewood. �' .

Playground Design as submitted by Mn Wi Playgro rids in the forest Green color #stye with
green rubber coating. Motion passed 6/0.
Director Brown mentioned that, in the past, the Park Foundation1iii5 things on behalf of the
City to save on the tax expense but he was ti sure whether this wool ',be a possibility in this case.
Anderson pointed out that the Foundation is always meotioned when filing-4 grant application, but in this
case, neither the Hennepin County nor Boundless Playground grant awards allowed this action.
7. RECOMMEND WA I,11I(?UNT MESSAGE BOARDS TOR THE PARKS
Anderson shared the o&n�npt,of installing message boards at several of the parks within Shorewood in an
effort to promote park events , 4o,the captive audiences wlitrregularly visit these parks. She acknowledged
that, if the Commission chose;a iuessage'bodrd,could be incorporated into the design plan for Manor
Park this year 3ui i the remodel. Whereas, futiire such as Freeman, could be installed as part of the
ChaifNotrpan commented that tvhile notall parks would warrant the message boards, he would
definitely 'support them in Freeman and Manor at this time. He questioned how often they would be
updated andho andalism proof they might or might not be.
Brown indicated that works staff generally updates the shelter reservations tacked on the Freeman
shelters daily and that boards would be updated regularly. He also stated that while vandalism may
occur, others have them."
Anderson noted that she is out often posting flyers around town of park events and would welcome a
chance to post and update the park flyers.
Brown indicated that the smaller shelter at Freeman would warrant a free standing board with posts.
Chair Norman suggested Manor Park be included this year and Freeman be addressed in 2011.

Quinlan moved, Robb seconded, recommending approval of the purchase of a wall mounted

The Commission questioned tether hacdsurfacing the hockey rink was necessary at Cathcart since
thereOU a basketball court facility locatedat"fhis park. Nor did they feel the rink needed to be moved,

The replacement "synthetic hockey boards were retained, but the hard surface and relocation were
removed.
Chair Norman asked whether Administrator Heck had had the chance to discuss with Chanhassen the
removal of the no parking signs along the road near Cathcart Park to help alleviate some of the parking
congestion.
Anderson stated that she would defer to Heck and would report back.
FREEMAN PARK
Brown indicated that resurfacing the Freeman parking lot could be quite a bit more involved than the
Commission realizes and that the estimate could double or triple depending on the requirement imposed

by the watershed for such a job. Due to the mitigation efforts that may be required by the watershed in
order to resurface the parking lot, Brown brought up the wetland restoration project as a potential
partnership.
Edmondson interjected that, in his opinion, resurfacing and redesigning several of these parking lots is
somewhat of a `luxury' given the many other items the Commission and Council wish to accomplish. He
noted that, while some of the parking lots are small, they are adequate, and he questioned spending such
huge amounts on reconstruction when there are so many items on the wish list.

Re: Agenda Item #4C — Work Program Update
Attached is the 2010 Work Program. As the Commission will note, the majority of the Work Program is
continuing on track as planned; however, due to various circumstances some items have been moved up
within the overall CIP and others delayed. As living documents, the CIP — and subsequent Work Program -
can and should be re- adjusted as needed.
The Commission has undertaken an ambitious number of CIP projects this year and moved forward an
entire playground replacement project at Manor Park by several years because we were fortunate to obtain a
grant to do so this summer, all of which place a heavy burden upon staff. We have also accomplished
many other things thus far; the Silverwood shelter installation is well underway, the Manor Park warming
house shelter has begun, tennis court overlay, summer programs, and now the Boundless Playground.
That being said, the installation of the two tot lot pieces for Cathcart and Freeman Parks has been delayed
and may or may not be completed by the end of the summer. Although we have received a quote for
purchase /installation from the manufacturer, we are unsure whether our public works staff will have the
time and staff to expand the timbered play areas this summer. They have been shorthanded by two
employees in the department and have other priorities to accomplish.
With regard to the blacktop surface at the Skate Park, Public Works Director Brown has suspended all
asphalt projects outside of patching until the end of the season. Public Works is currently seal coating over
roadways that are not patched and have pulled all available staff to meet the imposed deadline. Until basic
needs are met other projects will be put on hold.
Public Works Director Brown continues to work with plumbing contractors and public works to install the
drinking fountain at the Skate Park.
A final addition to the 2010 Work Program is the Boundless Playground Volunteer installation scheduled
for Saturday, August 7, 2010. Bring your friends, recruits, and families to join the all volunteer force to
assemble this totally accessible playground at Manor Park.

Re: Agenda Item 5 — Manor Park Boundless Playgrounds Swing Set Access Options
At its previous meeting, the Park Commission recommended the City Council approve the proposed
Boundless Playgrounds Design submitted by MnIWi Playgrounds for re- development of the Manor Park
playground to an accessible play structure. The Council approved the recommendation at its June 28 City
Council Meeting and the equipment order has been placed with an estimated installation date of Saturday,
August 14 2010.
In an effort to retain the current swing set space and incorporate it into the boundless design, staff asked the
manufacturer to provide several options for the Commission to consider at this time or propose for a later
date.
The first Option A, attached, provides for an adaptive swing with chains and rubber surface over concrete
access path leading to one end of the current swing set. The quote for this option is $4,784.93
Option B, attached, adds a new swing set frame bay with 4 swings, as well as, provides the rubber coated
concrete access path to the set for an estimated cost of $5,801.13
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Park Commission review the designs provided and make a recommendation to the
City Council to move forward with their preferred option or make no recommendation at this time and table
this item for later discussion or installation.

The Park Commission meeting on August 10 falls on Primary Election Day. Because of this, the Park
Commission will need to determine a different date for their August Park Commission meeting.
The fourth Tuesday of the month (which is when the Park Commission would hold a second meeting if
necessary) is August 24. There are no meetings scheduled for that evening.
Please advise staff if August 24 is the day the Park Commission will hold their meeting or if another date
was chosen.

Re: Agenda Item 8— Request from Resident
Staff received the attached letter from a resident asking if it would be possible to install a basketball hoop in
conjunction with the tennis courts at Badger Park.
'Ihe resident did not put their name on the letter so staff will not be able to update them on the outcome of
this.
The letter is attached for the Park Commission to review and discuss.

To whom it may concern,
I am a resident of Shorewood and live near Badger Park. Upon visiting another park last
winter I noticed a basketball hoop was installed in conjunction with a tennis court(picture
included) and I thought this would be a very beneficial addition to the tennis court at
Badger. Thus, I wanted to officially enter a request for a basketball hoop installation.
Thank you,

Re: Park Agenda Item 9— Garage Band Jain Event for Next Year
It is unfortunate we have had to cancel Garage Band Jam due to lack of participants. We only received 3 ed's. I had
one inquiry a week after the due date and one band mentioned to Kristi that they would send in a ed and never did.
Last year we received around 12 ed's.
We sent posters and info to the Chanhassen Garage Band and Chaska's Battle of the Bands (which both cities passed
out to the bands like they did last year), we sent e -mails to schools, past bands, my summer activities list, it was on
the website, facebook, newsletter and posted all around. One band said they seen the poster at Cub and another band
seen it in the newspaper.
The fee this year was $50 (a $10 increase from last year). In researching the fee this amount was also charged at
other venues of the same.
Maple Grove Battle of the Bands gave the top band a recording session valued at $2,000 from the Institute of
Production and Recording at Master Mix Studios and an opportunity to perform at the Maple Grove Days. The top
two bands are invited to play at the Minnesota State Fair. This event is in July.
Chaska Youth Rock Festival gave the winning band an opportunity to appear at the state fair and a free recording
session at McNally Smith College of Music. They also hand out scholarships to MacPhail, McNally Smith and
School of Rock camps to outstanding musicians throughout the day. This event is held in February.
Chanhassen ChanJam the winning band is invited to play at Chanhassen's annual 4"' of July celebration opening for
