Motion Levine/second Miller to approve the minutes of the August 15, 2018 Parks and
Recreation Commission meeting. AYES 6: NAYS 0: ABSENT 1 (Tupper)
5. Unfinished and New Business
5.a Playground Improvements — Hagstrom King and Wentworth Park
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek reminded the Commission of the three potential layouts
reviewed for Hagstrom King and Wentworth Parks. The Commission determined that they
desired to get additional community input. Therefore, an open house was advertised and held
on August 30, 2018. This open house was attended by seven residents with one additional
resident stopping by City Hall following.
The results of the open house were tallied and the preferred pieces of equipment popular
among the attendees were shared by Mr. Ruzek. He also shared the League of Minnesota
City's guidelines to be considered when purchasing new playground equipment.
Mr. Ruzek also requested a decision by the Commission regarding applying for a grant through
the MN -WI Playgrounds with a potential savings of 50% — application deadline is October 31,
2018 — or purchasing the equipment through Landscape Structures by Thanksgiving.
Landscape Structures has indicated that the city should expect a 6% increase if the project is
put on hold until next year (the equipment could be purchased this year for installation in 2019).
Motion Goldade/second Levine to direct staff to take the community and Commission feedback
back to both MN -WI GameTime and Flagship Landscape Structures and come back with a
second design proposal for both parks to be reviewed at the next Parks & Recreation
Commission Meeting in October 2018; and continue the sub -committee for a possible second
community feedback session after the October 2018 Parks & Recreation Commission Meeting —
dependent on what is decided at said October 2018 meeting.
Commissioner Levine submitted a friendly amendment by requesting that the direction for
pricing include the grant pricing as well as the non -grant pricing. Commissioner Goldade agreed
to this friendly amendment.
Commissioner Goldade submitted a friendly amendment by suggesting that a work session be
scheduled to review the second design proposals rather than waiting until the October 2018
Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting. Both Goldade and Levine agreed to this friendly
amendment.
AYES 5: NAYS 1 (Hinderscheid): ABSENT 1 (Tupper)
5.b Introduction of Student Representative
Mr. Matthew Boland, a junior at St. Thomas Academy and lifelong resident of Mendota Heights,
was introduced to and welcomed by the Commission as the Student Representative to the
Parks and Recreation Commission. Matthew's term will go through the school year, ending May
31, 2019. Reappointment will be reviewed in the spring prior to the end of the term.
5.c Discuss Survey
Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence explained that Vice -Chair Tupper
requested a rejuvenation of the discussion on input from the community. At the July meeting the
Commission had discussed a community -wide survey on parks, which was tabled as staff does
not have adequate time to complete that at this time.
Chair Hinderscheid clarified that the survey mentioned by Vice -Chair Tupper was a broader list
of general park projects. Ms. Lawrence indicated that some of the items mentioned at the July
meeting have been completed; so the list is narrowing. If the Commission decided to do a
survey the list of projects would need to be revisited and brought up-to-date.
Chair Hinderscheid suggested that the Commission and staff work with Vice -Chair Tupper with
the input received from the City Council during the joint session and from the community during
the Parks Celebration.
Assistant City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson reminded the Commission that the joint session
with the City Council included a prioritization of the project list and staff has been working on
moving that priority list forward. If the Commission were to change the priorities, they would
need to go back to City Council recommending a priority change and ask for their approval.
Chair Hinderscheid requested a copy of the prioritization list be sent to each of the
commissioners.
In regards to a community survey, Ms. Jacobson mentioned that staff has been looking at other
Park and Recreation surveys that other cities have done. This commission had talked about
trying to achieve a more statistically valid survey and whether that would be contracting with a
data company to administer the survey and do the analysis. She believed it would be a good
recommendation and discussion to have as a commission. She noted that this could possibly be
a college or high school project and is an idea that staff has been researching.
The commission agreed to have this topic added to the October 2018 meeting agenda.
5.d Winter Disc Golf at the Par 3
Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence explained that Chair Hinderscheid has
requested a discussion of adding winter disc golf to the Par 3. This has been discussed in the
past and just from the staff perspective, she mentioned the following points:
• Concerns by staff regarding damage to the turf
• Costs to have the course laid out and purchasing/installation of equipment
• There is no budget for staffing the course
• Cross country skiing takes place at the Par 3 in the winter
Chair Hinderscheid asked if there would be a fee to play disc golf. Ms. Lawrence said there
would not be; however, staffing of the course would be to have the club house open for
bathrooms and warming up.
A suggestion was made to look into the possibility of having a disc golf course at Mendakota
Park rather than the Par 3.
Additional discussions were had regarding the potential for damage to the Par 3 and the hard
work that staff and the commission has put in to keeping the Par 3 looking good. Commissioner
Levine noted that she would not support having disc golf at the Par 3.
5.e Communications for November Heights Highlights
Chair Hinderscheid reminded the Commission of the Heights Highlights coming up and asked
for ideas/suggestions of events and information that should be included for the resident's
benefit. Content is due by October 12, 2018 and would hit households in mid-November.
5.f Marie Avenue Trail Realignment
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek noted that staff was planning on having the feasibility study
for the Marie Avenue Trail Realignment project completed in October; so if any commissioners
wished to review the site and provide recommendations they needed to schedule that time
before the end of October.
It was decided to meet at Valley Park at 8:30 a.m. on Friday, September 21, 2018. This
`meeting' will be posted.
5.g Rogers Lake Skate Park Update
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek explained that the City of Mendota Heights temporarily
closed the Rogers Lake Skate Park from August 22nd to August 31St due to users of the park
making unauthorized improvements that needed to be removed. Public works was able to go
into the park and remove the concrete structures and then the streets department filled in some
of the chiseled areas with an asphalt patch material.
Signs with the new rules have been posted and staff has received a lot of negative comments
(i.e. helmets required). He noted that the city is insured by the League of Minnesota Cities
Insurance Trust, which provides minimum requirements that are necessary to maintain said
insurance.
Mr. Ruzek informed the Commission that they were welcome to discuss the future operation of
the Rogers Lake Skate Park and make recommendations, or defer this to a future meeting as
the park is currently operational.
Comments and feedback from the Commissioners were that they really liked the skate park and
wanted it to continue to be there.
Commissioner Goldade suggested having the Rogers Lake Park, including the Skateboard
Park, on the October agenda and that a working group (Commissioners Kipp and Goldade,
Student Representative Matt Boland, and a police department representative) to bring
suggestions for improvement to the park — both globally and specifically to the skateboard park.
Motion Goldade/second Hinderscheid to establish a working group in regards to Rogers Lake
Park and making suggestions for possible improvements with Matthew Boland, Ira Kipp, and
Steve Goldade, and invite a police department representative, with the goal of bringing back a
report to the October 2018 Park & Recreation Commission Meeting.
6. Reports
6.a Par 3 Update
Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence provided an update on the Par 3, including
a financial report (May, June, and July). Total revenue thus far is $96,340, less $91,041 in
expenditures, equaling a profit of $5,299. Nothing came out of the Par 3 budget for the purchase
of the rough mower (City reserves were used).
Staff plans to keep the course open through October 2018, weather dependent.
The Par 3 will be closed all day on Monday, September 17, 2018 and the AM of Tuesday,
September 18, 2018 for aeration of the greens and fall maintenance.
6.b Recreation Update
Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence explained that Fall Registration is open,
which opened on September 1, 2018. Options include gymnastics, fall field trips, family fall
party, and the superhero masquerade. Additional details available on the city's web site.
Movie in the Park will take place at Mendakota on September 22, 2018 at 7:00 p.m. The movie
"Moana" will be shown. This event is free to the public.
6.c Commissioner Park Updates
Commissioner Levine stated that all is `so far, so good' and have a shout -out to the public works
for doing a really nice job.
Commissioner Miller stated that the things happening at Market Square are pretty well known.
Victoria Highlands is in very nice shape and looks very good.
Chair Hinderscheid noted that the resident who recommended the tables be installed at Market
Square was very happy with the end product and people have been using them. The Dog Park
now has a shaded picnic table, a very nice addition and will be very much appreciated. He also
expressed his appreciation to Public Works for all of the work they have done. However, he did
notice an issue at Ivy Hills and that being the pond is completely green and he wondered if that
was due to the dredging and if that was a good or bad sign. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek
noted that he has not received any calls regarding that pond but he would certainly go out and
take a look.
Commissioner Klepperich echoed the comments made about the great job being done by Public
Works. He visited Mendakota this week and the baseball field is in good shape. He also
welcomed Matthew Boland to the Commission.
Commissioner Kipp expressed his appreciation to Public Works for taking care of the issue at
the skate park so quickly and so readily.
Commissioner Goldade had no additional comments.
6.d Parks and Natural Resources Update
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek noted that Ms. Krista Spreiter, Natural Resources Technician
started her position on Tuesday, September 4, 2018 and has jumped right in by looking at
improvements to the city's welcome sign on Dodd Road, prairie plantings at city hall, rain
gardens for the Lexington Highlands Project, Wagon Wheel Trail, and Par 3. It was requested
that Ms. Spreiter attend a future meeting to allow the commissioners a chance to meet her in
person.
Mr. Ruzek also provided an update on the Marie Park Tennis Court rehabilitation project, which
started on Wednesday, September 5, 2018. The Marie Park basketball improvements should
start in early October. City Council approved the purchase of new adjustable basketball
systems, two tennis net systems, and eight pickle ball net systems.
The Bike Racks base pads are scheduled to begin in late September and the Dog Park Picnic
Table and Market Square tables have already been mentioned.
Upon request, Mr. Ruzek provided an update on the culvert over at Wagon Wheel Trail and the
fishing. City Council has awarded a contract to install a 6 -foot tall black vinyl chain link fence
along the south side of Wagon Wheel Trail, to eliminate fishing on the south side of the culvert
area. The safety issues with people running across the road far exceeds the ability to allow
people to fish at that spot.
7. Announcements and Commission Comments
Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence made the following announcements:
• September 25, 2018 — a tree will be planted at Victoria Highlands donated by The Mom's
Club
• The city did receive the grant for the Marie Park Tennis Courts in the amount of $20,000
• Winter warming house positions will be posted in the next few weeks
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek noted that at the last City Council meeting, they awarded a
contract to CNH Architects for $4,100 to do a feasibility study for the Wentworth Park Warming
House structure. This is the same architect that is doing the design work for the Fire Hall
expansion.
Commissioner Goldade:

agenda each month to provide updates / comments
• Expressed his appreciation to Mr. Ruzek and staff for all of the work done on the two
new playgrounds and the good information provided this evening

• Welcomed Matt Boland to the Commission
• It is really heartwarming working with all of the people and hearing enthusiasm about

CITY OF
MENDOTA HEIGHTS
DATE: October 9, 2018
TO: Parks & Recreation Commission
FROM: Ryan Ruzek, P.E., Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Playground Improvements — Wentworth Park & Hagstrom King Park
COMMENT:
INTRODUCTION
The Parks and Recreation Commission, at their August 2018 meeting, directed staff to update
the playground layouts based on feedback from the community open house. Flagship
Recreation (Landscape Structures) was able to provide updated layouts and cost estimates.
Mn-Wi Playgrounds was unable to provide updated layouts but offered additional suggestions
on achieving the goal of the Commission. Mn-Wi playground did state that the original layouts
provided to the Commission in August are eligible for their grant program. Mn-Wi Playground
stated that the first priority the city should decide on is the budget for each park. Once a
budget is established, then the playground can be designed to stay within the given threshold.
The City Council would need to set this budget amount but recommendations can be made.
Hagstrom King Park
Attached are renderings and a schematic map of the updated layout from Flagship Recreation.
Flagship Recreations proposal for the original improvements is $101,793 not including site work
which is estimated to be around $25,000. The current proposal for updated layout is $158,001
plus the site work estimated around $25,000.
Mn-Wi Playground had an original layout for a fee of $126,823 including site work (removing
existing surfacing) and removal of existing equipment. Using the available grant would reduce
this proposal by approximately $35,000 to $91,823.
Wentworth Park
Attached are renderings and a schematic map of the updated layout from Flagship Recreation.
Flagship Recreation's proposal for the original improvement was $87,547 not including site
work which is estimated to be around $20,000. The current proposal for updated layout is
$142,439 plus the site work estimated around $20,000.
Mn-Wi Playground had an original layout for a fee of $89,951 including site work (removing
existing surfacing) and removal of existing equipment. Using the available grant would reduce
this proposal by approximately $22,000 to $67,951.
ACTION REQUIRED
Park & Recreation Commissioners should discuss the playground options and provide direction
to staff on a recommendation. Formal action should also be taken on whether or not to pursue
the Mn-Wi Playground grant. The Commission can also take action to table for additional
information, decline the current layouts to focus on fundraising, or direct staff to solicit quotes
for assistance from a consultant.

MENDOTA HEIGHTS
DATE: October 9, 2018
TO: Parks & Recreation Commission
FROM: Ryan Ruzek, P.E., Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Mendota Heights Park System
COMMENT:
1101 Victoria Curve 1 Mendota Heights, MN 55118
651.452.1850 phone 1 651.452.8940 fax

Item 6b
INTRODUCTION
Residents of Mendota Heights enjoy a vast network of Parks and Open Spaces. There are over
300 acres of city -owned park land. Adding in the Dodge Nature Center, Fort Snelling State Park,
Golf Courses, and Cemeteries, there is over 1500 acres of Park space within the city boundaries.
This is in addition to other open spaces along the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers and Lilydale
Harriet Island Cherokee Park. A brief discussion of the three types of parks that typically
comprise a local park system is provided below.
Neighborhood Park
Neighborhood parks are the basic unit of the park system and serve as the recreational and
social focus of the neighborhood. They accommodate a wide variety of age and user groups,
including children and adults. Neighborhood parks range from 5-30 acres and serve a 1/2 mile
area. Communities often will operate a joint neighborhood park with the school district and
elementary schools. The City's Neighborhood parks include Friendly Hills, Hagstrom-King, Ivy
Hills, Marie, Valley, View Heights, Victoria Highland, and Wentworth.
Community Park
Community parks are designed to meet the recreational needs of several neighborhoods or
larger segments of the community. They are intended for ballfields and larger athletic facilities
or community gatherings. They can also be designed to preserve unique landscapes and open
spaces. They serve a 1/2 mile to 5 -mile radius. The City's community parks include Kensington,
Valley, Roger's Lake, Mendakota, and Sibley Athletic Complex.
Natural Resource Area
Natural resource areas are areas set aside to preserve significant or unique landscapes. They
are often, but not always, properties unsuitable for development with steep slopes, drainage
ways, and ravines or wetlands. In addition, there may be locations where local tree protection,
shoreland and critical area ordinances, or state and local wetland ordinances restrict
development in some way. Natural Resource areas include Friendly Marsh, Copperfield Ponds,
Valley Park, Pilot Knob Preservation, and Dodge Nature Center.
Future Park Needs
The City of Mendota Heights is committed to developing and enhancing their park and open
space system. City Park needs can be determined by evaluating the number, size, and
accessibility of parks. It is often recommended a park system contain 25 acres of park for each
1,000 population, which is equal to 1,089 square feet per person. To meet this standard, the
City would need to provide 285 acres of parkland (based on the projected year 2040 population
of 11,400 persons when fully developed). The City already meets these standards.
ACTION REQUIRED
For informational purposes only. Discussion of future park development should occur jointly
with the City Council.
