Park Commission Meeting Minutes of April 26, 2016 Kobs moved to approve the minutes of the April 26, 2016 meeting as written. Vassar seconded the motion. Motion carried -0. 3. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR There were none. 4. REVIEW GRADING PLAN FOR BADGER FIELD Nielsen reviewed the grading plan for Badger Field. He stated this is not a grading plan for the entire park. He highlighted the location of the practice field which is 45’ x 90’. He noted the practice area does encroach into the park space which will require some adjustment to the “pinwheel” design. He stated there is a need for play areas and whether pre-K and elementary aged could be combined areas. He stated it looked like the field would be able to be located between the existing light poles. He also indicated the hockey rink would need to be removed sooner rather than later. In response to a question from Vassar, Nielsen discussed the fill relocation from the field to the area where the hockey rink is located. He stated there are other areas that need fill. Commissioners and staff reviewed the recent quote from Field Turf for fill removal. Nielsen stated they haven’t seen the grading plan at this point. Nielsen stated the hockey rink removal might be a moot point. Commissioners continued to discuss grading of the site. Mangold stated we need a grading plan that is from the tennis courts over and not just for the field. Nielsen stated we need to tell them we want it leveled off for an even elevation throughout. Rock asked if a sloping hill might be an option for viewing games. Nielsen stated this is a preliminary plan. We’ll keep the fill we need and not haul it all away. PARK COMMISSION MINUTES TUESDAY, MAY 10, 2016 3 PAGE 2 OF Commissioners and staff discussed tree removal. Nielsen stated the engineer had indicated the field could be 20’ longer. Mangold stated he didn’t see any issue with the expanded lacrosse area. His concern was the tree line and what would be done with the space that is hockey. Vassar was concerned about whether there would be room for the perimeter trail. Mangold was concerned about restoration once grading has been completed and turf established. Nielsen stated we will need to have a special meeting to go through these concerns so work can begin by June 1. Commissioners discussed a possible date for a meeting. 5. DISCUSS HOCKEY RINKS AT THE PARKS Mangold stated there have been a number of discussions about hockey rinks and usage in Shorewood. There is a need to discuss the overall needs throughout the city now. Nielsen reviewed options to have a rink in Freeman Park as well as lighting. He also suggested taking a more detailed look at two locations should the decision be made to have a rink at Freeman. Vassar believed there is enough usage of the rinks to need a rink at Freeman. Rock stated he liked the idea of smaller rinks for kids. He asked where portable boards would be stored when not in use. Nielsen stated they would be stored. Mangold stated it was important to have passive areas in the parks and not fill them with rinks and fields. He stated there would also need to be additional grading before the rink is added. He didn’t necessarily think the full set of boards would be part of phase one. Commissioners discussed whether a rink is needed at Freeman. Vassar stated she was concerned about losing skaters. Nielsen stated having a separation between free skate and hockey is worthwhile. Rock suggested a sport court layout that a rink could overlay in the winter. Mangold stated it wouldn’t be cost effective. Mangold didn’t think we needed another full-sized hockey rink. He stated there would be great expense grading and lighting the area before the boards even go up. It was agreed there needs to be a rink somewhere to replace Badger rink. Mangold asked if it would be okay to wait 1-3 years to have a rink at Freeman. Vassar stated 3 years would be too long. Vassar asked if the grading could even be done this year. Mangold stated we could have this conversation again when we know what it would cost at the August meeting. We would also need to see how it will fit in our CIP. It would also need to be determined if the hockey boards at Badger will be removed. Mangold moved, Rock seconded for staff to move forward to find out the cost of grading and lighting the area at Freeman Park for a future rink for the August meeting. Vassar stated additional lighting is needed in the parking lot. Motion carried 4-0. PARK COMMISSION MINUTES TUESDAY, MAY 10, 2016 3 PAGE 3 OF 6. REVIEW JUNE AND JULY PARK TOUR AGENDAS Mangold reviewed the park tours for June and July. Nielsen noted Director Brown would also attend. Mangold noted Crescent Beach is not included in the tour schedule. Vassar asked if it is necessary to even tour Badger. Mangold stated it should stay on so progress can be reviewed. Crescent Beach was added to the June schedule. 7. DETERMINE VICE-CHAIR Mangold noted Stelmachers has resigned, and he was the vice-chair. Mangold asked for volunteers. Mangold nominated Paul Kobs as vice-chair, Rock seconded. Motion carried 4-0. 8. NEW BUSINESS Vassar stated Chaska would be interested in acquiring some of the skate park equipment. Nielsen stated it hasn’t gone to the Council to make the recommendation to dismantle the skate park. It would go to their st meeting on the 31. 9. STAFF AND LIAISON REPORTS/UPDATES A. City Council Nielsen updated the Commission on recent City Council actions. B. Staff Nielsen discussed recent trail construction activity. Nielsen reviewed a request from a resident who would like to put birdhouses in the parks. Our concern would be how they would be mounted. Rock stated he would be concerned about sizes. Nielsen stated birdhouses on poles would make the most sense, but they would get more information on the resident’s plan. More details will follow. Vassar asked if there would be signs posted at the clover fields. Mangold stated the Bee Safe group had planned to provide signs. Nielsen stated he would look into it. 10. ADJOURN Kobs moved, Vassar seconded, to adjourn the Park Commission Meeting of May 10, 2016 at 8:32 p.m. Motion carried . RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, Clare T. Link Recorder 2B CITY OF SHOREWOOD 5755 COUNTRY CLUB RD PARK COMMISSION MEETING SHOREWOOD CITY HALL MONDAY, MAY 23, 2016 7:00 P.M. MINUTES 1. CONVENE PARK COMMISSION MEETING Chair Mangold convened the meeting at 7:00 p.m. A. Roll Call ; Present: Chair Mangold, Commissioners Vassar and Rock City Council Liaison Labadie; City Planner Nielsen Absent: Kobs B. Review Agenda Agenda was approved as written. Motion carried 3-0. 2. REVIEW GRADING PLAN FOR BADGER FIELD Nielsen went over the updates of the grading plan for Badger Field. He mentioned that the Park Commission asked at its last meeting if the grading plan could be laid over the proposed Concept Plan 1.5. WSB could not find that layer, but this plan does show the field and grading plan. Also, the comments from the last meeting were incorporated into the plans. He stated the trees at the bottom of the creek will be left and the smaller Ash trees along the existing play field will be removed. The Swale between the hockey rink and play field is strictly field drainage and will drain to the south by itself. The swale could be leveled out in Phase III. All the material will be used that is taken out from the field., which is about 2 feet of fill. The quote for the removal of fill should be reduced from the quote. Nielsen is checking with Public Works Director Brown to see if Public Works can take down the trees. Nielsen stated that they did meet with the watershed district to see if there was an opportunity to partnership with them on this project. This project will not work as there is not enough hardcover created. When work starts on the parking lot and pond there may be opportunity to partner with the watershed then. Mangold inquired about the light pole where the Lacrosse practice field will be. Nielsen stated that they are checking with Lacrosse to see if the light pole needs to be moved. It may be moved a little to the north. Mangold stated he walked from the existing pole to the tree line and it is 90 feet to the tree lot and he wasn't sure that would be enough space for a walking path. Another item that was reviewed was the fire hydrant. Mangold thought it was cut off and not working and that it would cost a couple thousand dollars to take it out. It was asked if we needed a specialty contractor to take out the hydrant. Nielsen will check with the Public Works Director on this. It was asked it Public Works would be taking out the hockey boards. The lights may have to be contracted out and maybe used at Eddy Station. The goal is to leave the poles in their current position and re-aim the lights. PARK COMMISSION MINUTES TUESDAY, MAY 10, 2016 2 PAGE 2 OF It was asked once the grading is done, what is the city doing for seeding the area.. Nielsen mentioned there is some money for restoration that hopefully can go towards the seeding . Nielsen stated that between Engineer Hornby and Public Works Director Brown they will be the Project Managers for this project. It was asked if staff could outline the costs and timelines addressed and what to do the hydrant and lights and also the seeding and bring back to the commission. It was recommended to show drainage arrows on the plans for the City Council. Manigold moved to recommend to move forward with the grading plan, provided the adjustments are made to fit the parking needed for concept 1.5. Rock seconded. Motion carried 3-0. Nielsen stated that the contract should be in this week and the construction schedule should be on that. 10.

MEMORANDUM Date: August 23, 2016 To: Chairman Mangold Park Commission Members From: Bruce DeJong, Finance Director Re: Budget Update and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) This is the time of year that we prepare a budget for recreation activities in 2017 and start thinking about the longer range capital needs of our parks. The Recreation budget in the General Fund is running behind where it was last year at this time. It looks as if full year operations will be around budget with the information that we have available now. This is primarily based on the amount of time allocated to Recreation activities by Ms. Grout as compared to the amount of time allocated toward general administrative activities. However, since both of these activities are in the General Fund, it does not affect the overall results and doesn't require much scrutiny. The City Council has determined the amount of transfer from the General Fund to the Park Capital Improvements Fund at $42,000 per year again this year. The budget challenge for the city staff is to estimate the amount of expenditure to fund the park capital programs for the next year. Fund 402 - Park Capital Improvements had three capital items this year - the Skate Park Rehab, which was removed at the recommendation of the Park Commission, Cathcart Park Hockey Boards, which may be delayed, and Badger Park Phase I which has morphed into the artificial turf play field. Other changes since you last saw the CIP in 2015 are: 1) Movement of the water line in Freeman Park from 2017 to 2015 along with the construction of the garden plots. 2) Movement of Badger Park Phase II from 2017 to 2019 based on City Council action to coordinate with the payment of the remainder of the Park Dedication fees from Mattamy Homes on the Country Club redevelopment. 3) Badger tennis court needs to be reconstructed — it is no longer a candidate for resurfacing. The Park Commission should discuss timing and style of replacement for this well -used facility. It has been added into 2018 at $200,000 which was when the next maintenance was planned. The Park Commission should determine when to pursue the remainder of the Badger Park improvements to the Parking Lot which staff has estimated at about $391,000. It has been tentatively plugged into the Financial Management Plan in 2017. We also have a Parking Lot at Freeman Park plugged into the CIP from years ago for $50,000. This was for improvements to the north parking lot probably in conjunction with moving the Budget Update and Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) August 23, 2016 Page 2 hockey rink. That is not in the schedule so the funds could possibly be used toward paving the ballfield lot on the south end of the park. A rough estimate of the full cost of paving that lot has been given by WSB at $85,000. There are several inconsistencies between the adopted CIP and the replacement cycle schedule. While those decisions are based in part on the condition assessment from the park tours, the schedules should be more closely coordinated. Any items identified in the replacement plan should also end up on the CIP. The financial challenge is that there is always a deficit when Phase II of Badger Park is implemented. The Park Commission and the City Council need to come to an agreement on the scope, timing, and funding source for the completion of this plan. We would like to discuss the future project list with the Park Commission at this meeting. The Commission has planned for Badger Park projects but the discussion with the City Council will determine the scope and timing of that project. The CIP will be discussed in extensive detail by the City Council from now through November so there is more time available to make long range spending plans for capital items.
