3. MATTERS FROM THE FLOOR
George Greenfield, 24715 Yellowstone Trail, asked the Park Commission to consider suggesting
to the Council that they purchase the land at the intersection of Yellowstone Trail and Seaman’s
Drive and extending to Eureka. He stated that it is a beautiful piece of property and he would like
the City to keep it as green space, not a formal park. He stated that, in his opinion, if the City can
subsidize two extremely profitable senior apartment buildings, the City can afford to purchase this
land. He stated that there may also be a way to work with a nature conservatory to preserve the
land. He explained that he would like there to be at least one significant open area preserved
within the City.
4. NEW BUSINESS - NONE
5. OLD BUSINESS
A. Discussion on the CIP
Chair Mangold noted that the updated CIP that included the recommendations made at the last
Park Commission meeting was in the meeting packet.
Planning Director Darling noted that the CIP includes the four priority projects that the Park
Commission wanted. She stated that they total $850,000 between now and the end of 2025. She
explained that there were a few programs that are considered maintenance that she feels are too

large to be considered maintenance, so she included those as well. She stated that the Park
Commission only has financing for $650,000 through 2026 so staff will be applying for grants and
trying to find other sources of funding to complete these projects. She explained that she
accidentally reversed the priority of two of the projects when this was discussed at a Council work
session because she hadn’t gotten the minutes before she had to put the report together to
present, but noted that the current CIP reflects the desired priority from the Parks Commission.
Commissioner Hirner stated that at the recent Council meeting where he had presented, there
was talk about wiping the CIP clean and starting fresh to see how that would turn out.
Planning Director Darling stated that is basically what was done because the Parks Commission
started from scratch and put their priorities together.
Commission Hirner asked what would happen if the grants or other funding do not come through.
Planning Director Darling stated that if funding cannot be found, projects will be delayed. She
stated that grant funding is generally done on an annual basis, so the City will start applying now
for projects that the City is hoping to complete next summer.
Mangold moved to recommend approval of the CIP to the Council, as presented. Gallivan
seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0.
6. STAFF AND LIAISON REPORTS / UPDATES
A. City Council
1. South Shore Park Update
Planning Director Darling explained that the Council elected not to move forward with looking into
the sale of the South Shore Park land at this time. She stated that the Council felt that it was
better served as open space rather than being developed, at least in the short term.
Planning Director Darling gave an overview of the September 23, 2019 Council meeting as
reflected in the minutes.
B. Staff
1. Badger Park and Freeman Park Playground Updates
Planning Director Darling stated that at Badger Park, the shelter should be delivered and installed
next week if weather allows. She stated that the bathroom facility is underway and shouldn’t have
any weather delays. She stated that once the concrete work is completed the poured in place
rubber surfacing, seeding and landscaping can be completed. She stated that there are weather
concerns with the poured in place rubber because it cannot be installed if the overnight
temperatures are below 40 degrees. She stated that without a miracle the work for the poured in
place rubber will probably need to be done next spring.
Commissioner Gallivan thanked Planning Director Darling for taking the time to meet with the
resident that is concerned about the path, the slope, and the proximity of the field.
Chair Mangold asked that Public Works take down the overhead branches that were broken and
are hanging over the trail that was just constructed at Badger Park.

Re: Draft Maintenance Schedule
With the 2020 version of the CIP, smaller cost maintenance items were left off the capital
improvements program. During the review of the CIP, the Parks Commission was concerned that
these maintenance items would be forgotten if they are not reviewed annually. Consequently,
staff has constructed the attached draft maintenance schedule for many of the parks facilities to
avoid that problem.
The draft maintenance schedule includes a list of all the facilities in the parks and has attempted
to assign a maintenance schedule for each structure. It also includes both a date for replacement
or likely maintenance of the item, plus a 10-year schedule with estimates. The maintenance
schedule is to help avoid missing necessary maintenance and should not be construed to
assume that the items must be replaced in a specific year regardless of their condition. Each
item should be reevaluated prior to budgeting replacement dollars through either the annual park
tours or during staff’s routine maintenance checks.
Staff will continue to refine the maintenance schedule and get firmer estimates for upcoming
project and will have a refined schedule back in front of the Parks Commission for their January
meeting.

Re: Review of Park Fees
During the CIP discussion, City Council directed staff to review the park fees that are collected for
park events/rentals to see if the appropriate amounts are being collected. The attached
spreadsheet shows the fees for picnic shelters, athletic fields, community gardens and special
events of eight other cities, and includes Shorewood’s fees.
Shorewood is generally comparable to the majority of the other cities’ fees. However, the fee for
shelters is lower than some of the surrounding cities. As a result, staff recommends increasing
the fees for park shelters.
Existing Fees
Manor/Freeman/Non-Resident - $50 + Tax Resident -
Silverwood $25 + tax
Eddy Station Non-Resident - $75 + tax Resident -
$50 + tax
Proposed Fees
Manor/Freeman/Eddy Non-Resident - $75 + Resident -
Station/Badger Tax $50 + tax
Silverwood (smaller Non-Resident - $50 + Resident -
shelter) tax $25 + tax
Staff will be working on an event form for rental of the park/athletic fields/tournaments in the
future. Staff will consider the fees that other cities charge for these type of rentals. By producing
one form for these type of events it will make it more convenient for staff and the organization
renting and making sure all areas and fees are covered for such an event. Below are the present
fees and will be incorporated into the event form.

Re: Donation to Parks and Plaque for Bench at Silverwood Park
Staff received a letter from Mr. Brock Austin on behalf of the Silver Lake Association. They would
like to donate $1,000 to the Parks Department and have a plaque made to be installed on a
bench in Silverwood Park (location of the bench is shown on map below) in honor of Gary
Kiecker, who passed away recently.
Staff recommends that the donation be accepted and put on the November 23, 2019 City Council
agenda for their approval.
