UNITY GARDEN REQUEST FOR WATER barrels for the community garden's water use has been a pilot he would like input on the water issue. Dietz stated the request for water upgrade is appropriate Kjolhaug asked how much the garden and water has been used. Nielsen stated the users are all from The Ponds area that rent garden spaces at Freeman Park. He noted other renters are from other areas. Nielsen stated the users are requesting a cost estimate for a water line for water for the garden. He explained how the water would be provided. He noted the Park Commission had anticipated there would be this request. PARK COMMISSION MINUTES TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2014 PAGE 2 OF 5 Mangold stated he is opposed to this request. He believed the money should be put into the path. He stated for the cost proposed, the garden at the other location could be increased where water is already provided. Sawtell stated the cost of moving rain barrels out there and keeping them full must be costly. Edmondson asked if there have ever been any complaints about water not being there. Nielsen stated he didn't hear about any complaints. Mangold asked what Public Works perspective is on the amount of work involved. Nielsen stated it is just one more thing they have to do. He stated it is similar to the skate park site where rain barrels were provided, and it would just be easier to provide a permanent water source. Edmondson stated he is leaning toward one more year of rain barrels at Freeman Park. Kjolhaug stated this is a great thing for the city to be providing. If we are at maximum capacity, it may not be enough to justify putting in a permanent water line. He stated the site near Freeman Park is a good fit for the seniors in the area. Commissioners requested an estimate for a water, line. Dietz stated he would also like to know if there are more options to add additional plots. Edmondson, stated he would like the users to let us know what their thoughts are on future needs at the garden. _5. SKATE /DOG P Edmondson stated this Louis Park on how they at a previous meeting. Staff received input from St. Nielsen noted St. 'Louis Park only ,Adds wood chips to their dog park. Their site is 3/4 acre. The users are responsible for cleaning up after their dogs. He reviewed a possible '/z acre site at the proposed location. He also reviewed' a possible cost of $11,000. He noted some of the trees would need to be encompassed into the site. He noted some of the larger dog parks have trees on the site. Edmondson noted the Carver Dog Park is only about five minutes away. He noted a dog park in Duluth is just mud now with nothing left of the landscape. Mangold didn't think it was a good thing to see when you first come into Shorewood. Dietz stated the issue is what the community might think about having a dog park. We don't have any information about that at this point. Mangold stated we are looking at losing all our expansion area at the garden if there is a dog park. Edmondson stated another question is whether the antiquated skate park will remain on the site. If we don't need the skate park, there is more room for a dog park. PARK COMMISSION MINUTES TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2014 PAGE 3 OF 5 Mangold stated if Nick Swaggert wants to continue the survey of residents in the area, he should do so. This should not remain a priority at this time. Edmondson stated Swaggert should be contacted to continue his survey of residents and have the question of the skate park continuation be added as a survey question. Nielsen believed the survey is a great start to begin talks about this park's fixture. 6.

Commissioners discussed the possibility of a skating oval track.

CITY OF SHOREWOOD 5755 COUNTRY CLUB ROAD • SHOREWOOD, MINNESOTA 55331 Phone: (952) 960 -7900 • FAX: (952) 474 -0128 • Email: planning @ci.shorewood.mn.us PLANNING AND PROTECTIVE INSPECTIONS MEMORANDUM TO: Park Commission FROM: Brad Nielsen DATE: 6 March 2014 RE: CIP Discussion — Maintenance Budget vs. CIP FILE NO. 405(Parks — Admin) There has been some confiision in the past as to what should be considered park maintenance and what should be a capital improvement. This memo attempts to shed some light on the subject. First, it is worthwhile to know how much money is spent annually in parks, both for maintenance /operations and for capital improvements. The City budgets a little over $200,000 annually for parks. Approximately $164,000 of that is for park maintenance and operations and $42,000 goes into the Park Capital Improvements Program. Maintenance vs. Capital The park maintenance budget includes routine items that we do every year (e.g. mowing fields, maintaining parking areas, flooding rinks, etc.). It includes the cost of personnel to perform the various maintenance fiinctions. This money comes out of the general fiind and any money not used in a given year becomes part of the fiind balance which can be used for fiiture year's budgets or transferred to other fiinds as needed. The Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is intended as a plan for fiiture expenditures which, in general, are larger dollar amounts that occur infrequently. For example, the roof on the shelter at Freeman Park seems like it could be a maintenance item. However, this type of expenditure only happens every 15 -20 years. Rather than budget $200 per year for this item for 15 years, it is put in the CIP as a capital improvement. The dollar amount is not something that is set in stone, but generally expenditures $5,000 and greater would be considered capital. In some cases, projects that are somewhat smaller than $5,000 are budgeted individually or lumped together with other similar projects or purchases in a given year. For Memorandum Re: Parks — Maintenance vs. CIP 6 March 2014 example, replacing an individual computer would not be a capital item. Replacing several computers, software, and printers on an annual basis would be worthy of consideration as a capital project. The reason $5,000 has been generally chosen is because of conflicting guidance from two financial sources. The Government Finance Officers Association recommends that only items $5,000 and greater be capitalized on the city's financial statements. This minimizes the amount of administrative work to record and track assets while capturing the vast majority of the total dollar amount spent on capital assets. The Office of State Auditor recommends $5,000 as a maximum amount for capital outlay. The most cities in the state are under 2,500 population and their citizens are interested in how the city spends and tracks valuable items below that dollar amount even if they don't do a formal inventory of assets each year. The $5,000 level is the only point that these two sources overlap so that is why staff has picked that level. Unlike the annual budget authority in the General Fund that expires at the end of each year, it is important to note that CIP money remains in the fiend from year to year. So, if it turns out that playground equipment programmed for this year can be postponed for a year or two, the money earmarked for that work remains in the Park Capital Improvements Fund. It is not returned to the general fiend. More examples: Trail overlay in Freeman Park. This happens quite seldom, but when it does, it is a large dollar amount. While it may seem like a maintenance item (unlike constricting a new trail), it is occasional enough and expensive enough to be put in the CIP. The city treats street maintenance the same way — expenditures for seal - coating, milling and overlaying, and reconstructing roads all budgeted in the CIP. The only expenditures in the General Fund are for filling potholes. 2. Installation of landscaping in a park is considered a capital improvement. Adding wood chip mulch to existing landscaping should be considered an annual expense that can be anticipated to be done routinely and should appear in the Park Maintenance budget. Basketball or tennis backboards. Not done every year and cumulatively can reach $5K or more. Therefore, these are included in the CIP. Changing out worn nets would be considered routine maintenance. Hopefully this helps to clarify the differences between the annual budget and the capital improvements fund. There is no exact science to when something is considered maintenance or capital. The staff gives their best judgment to the Park Commission and City Council on how to proceed with necessary replacements. Finance Director Brice DeJong, will be at Tuesday night's meeting to help clarify any individual project questions.

Lights for Badger Park rinks and football field are controlled from scheduling software that is programmed in advance of events, by the Director of Public Works. Any time that the lights are on; there has been a specific request to have the fields lit. Frequently, staff receives comments about why the football field is lit up and nobody is utilizing the facility? This issue arises frequently, as it appears that the football league reserves blocks of time on the fields, whether they are needed or not. At the beginning of the season, the football organization requests that the field be lit on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. This has been the pattern for several years. The issue of reserving field space, "lust in case," is a common issue. Staff has recently determined that Men's Softball organization often reserves fields at Freeman Park at the beginning of the season, just to insure that space is available. Staff has met with representatives to try to arrive at a more managed and accurate reservation procedure. In addition, there are other events were specific requests are made annually. These include the snow carving event and preparation for Arctic Fever, and the Hoe -Down event at the Community Center. I will try to address any questions that the Park Commission has regarding lighting at the Park Commission meeting on Tuesday. Mission Statement: The City of Shorewood is committed to providing residents quality public services, a healthy environment, a variety of attractive amenities, a sustainable tax base, and sound financial management through effective, efficient, and visionary leadership.

At its retreat in February, the City Council expressed some concern about the attendance at both Park and Planning Commission meetings. Following is the current code section that addresses Park Commission attendance requirements: Subd. 3. Attendance. Duly appointed members of the Park Commission shall be required to attend no less than one half (six meetings a year) of the official meetings in a given year. Failure to attend the requisite number of meetings shall be considered resignation from the Park Commission. This section is basically the same as that for the Planning Commission, and the Council has determined that it is too liberal. The Planning Commission agrees and appears to be leaning toward four missed meetings per year and no more than two consecutive misses. It is recommended that whatever threshold is recommended, the two commissions should be consistent. Park Summit. As you are aware, the Park Summit meeting scheduled for February was cancelled for lack of attendees. This may have been due to inclement weather (understatement). At any rate, the Commission should decide if another date should be set.

I asked if there were any movies of interest to let me know and I would make a list of the suggested movies and have it for the park packet so the Park Commission could review and make a recommendation. As of today, I haven't received any suggestions for movies. Here is the site where you can review movies http: / /parl<s.swanl<mp.com /. Movie in the park is Friday, September 12th The Park Commission will need to determine what movie they would like to show at Movie in the Park so that staff can reserve the movie and start work on the advertising /promotion of the event.
