7. Unfinished and New Business
7.a Natural Resources Update
Natural Resources Technician Krista Spreiter provided a brief introduction of her background
and some of the activities she has had the opportunity to participate in. Ms. Spreiter then
provided a brief update on the on-going and up-coming Natural Resources Projects and
Programs going on in the city:
•Lexington Highlands Curb-cut Rain Gardens
o Started by two local residents seeking a Master Water Steward certification
through the Lower Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization.
o To design and install 11 curb-cut raingardens in conjunction with the street
reconstruction project; intended to continue with future road reconstruction
projects
o Ultimate goal is to take stormwater runoff from the neighborhood that would
otherwise go into the storm sewer and into the surface waters and infiltrate it, let
it soak into the ground, or treat it
•Valley Park Pollinator Corridor
o Partnered with Great River Greening and Xcel Energy to restore and a pollinator
habitat in the Valley Park utility corridor within Valley Park
o Part of the larger Metro Big Rivers Phase 8 Plan, which focuses on protecting
and improving wildlife habitats
•Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Management
o In 2018, there were approximately 300 trees that were treated as part of the city’s
EAB program; 37 were public trees and the rest were private trees
o RFP for a 3-year contract has been sent to area Tree Care Professionals to aid
in the management and prevention of EAB
•Oak Wilt Management
o Quotes have been requested from Rainbow Tree Care and Sav-a-Tree to
conduct oak wilt management in Hagstrom-King Park and Friendly Hills Park
Commissioner Hinderscheid asked about the plan for the boulevard trees in regards to EAB
Management. Ms. Spreiter replied that there were some boulevard trees that are part of a U of
M study and some are being treated as part of that program. The city is treating some boulevard
trees that are within the city’s public owned property; however, private property within the
boulevard is up to the private homeowner for treatment.
Commissioner Kipp asked if it was the city’s plan to not replace the boulevard trees that die
because of EAB. Ms. Spreiter replied not at this time on private property.
Commissioner Hinderscheid asked if the city had any assessment on the wildlife in the
community. Ms. Spreiter replied she was unaware of any such assessment. However, they have
Page 3
spoken about creating a Natural Resources Management Plan, which this could be a part of. It
is usually the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) that tracks and has programs
for wildlife.
Commissioner Hinderscheid noted that there was a time when the Commission talked about
Natural Resources Management and they had quite a turnout of residents. He then asked if she
had planned any public forums where the residents could express their areas of concern. Ms.
Spreiter replied that she has not; however, it is a great idea.
Commissioner Sherer asked where the raingardens would be located. Ms. Sherer replied that
they would be located in the right-of-way so the city could maintain them. They are about a foot
off of the curb.
Commissioner Sherer asked if there had been any conversations or plans created to mitigate
salt and sand being put into the raingardens during the winter. Ms. Spreiter replied that the
Public Works Department are well aware of the project; and hearty plants were chosen. There
will be some maintenance needed, which the city is coordinating. Public Works Director Ryan
Ruzek also noted that there are trench drains that are anchored to the back of the curbs with the
intent to get the sand or sediment to filter out into the trench drain and then the homeowners, in
the spring, can unbolt it and shovel out the sand and sediment.
Mr. Ruzek asked Ms. Spreiter to speak to the tree sale. Ms. Spreiter noted that there has been
talk about a tree sale and quite a few residents have expressed interest. She has been
speaking with Tree Trust on coordinating with them on getting a tree sale for residents; the trees
would be offered at a reduced price. They are anticipating on having this sale take place in early
spring – mid-April.
7.b Playground Subcommittee – Wentworth and Hagstrom-King
Public Works Director, Ryan Ruzek, stated that a playground subcommittee meeting took place
on February 11, 2019, with Commissioners Sherer and Hinderscheid in attendance.
Commissioners Sherer and Hinderscheid expressed their interest in continuing to participate.
Commissioner Meyer agreed to participate as well.
Chair Goldade assigned Commissioners Dan Sherer and Stephanie Meyer to the Playground
Subcommittee. Commissioner Pat Hinderscheid is already on the subcommittee.
Commissioner Hinderscheid also noted that Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek had sent out
information on a grant program through the Minnesota DNR. Mr. Ruzek explained that there is a
MN DNR program which awards approximately $2 million per year to different agencies. He
looked at the 2019 awards; however, the city would be looking at a 2020 award. It would be
acceptable for the city to move forward as this is a reimbursement type program.
Motion Hinderscheid / second Klepperich to have staff pursue a grant from the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources for the Wentworth and Hagstrom-King Playground Equipment
AYES 6: NAYS 0: ABSENT 1
7.c Wentworth Warming House
Page 4
Public Works Director, Mr. Ruzek, stated that in September 2018, the City Council awarded a
contract to CNH Architects for a schematic layout and cost estimate for the new warming house
at Wentworth Park. Discussions of wanting a warming house with running water and full-time
bathrooms occurred. The architect submitted different renderings, which Mr. Ruzek shared with
the Commission and asked for feedback.
The Commission discussed the following points:
•Bathroom entrances inside and outside of the warming house – possibly one of each
•Unisex bathrooms rather than designated one for men and one for women
•Use of this particular warming house year-round rather than using it strictly for storage in
the summer
•Plans for summer programs to occur at this park, in and around the warming house
•Possible inclusion of windows
•Size of the building footprint
•Location of the bathrooms / inclusion of changing stations
•Addition of park benches
•Colors coordinated with the playground equipment
•Addition of another room for meeting space
•Cost
Staff was directed to investigate what kinds of programs could be held in this building and what,
if any, of the suggestions could be accommodated. Staff would then bring this topic back to the
March 2019 Parks & Recreation Commission meeting.
Mr. Ruzek noted that this building could be added to the grant application for the playground
equipment.
7.d Pilot Knob / Oheyawahe Improvements
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek noted that the city purchased the Pilot Knob site in 2007 and
the city was recently awarded a grant from the American Express Foundation for work to update
the Pilot Knob / Oheyawahe Restoration and Improvement Plan. The plan is focusing on
enhancing the visitor access to the site. The plans are out for public comments, which are
currently closing on February 20, 2019. Staff asked the Commission to provide feedback on the
plan.
Once the public comments and feedback has been received, Great River Greening would
present the plan to the City Council. From there, staff would look at applying for different grants.
Chair Goldade asked if this was a Mendota Heights Park. Mr. Ruzek replied that this is a City of
Mendota Heights park; however, there are a lot of limitations on what can occur there. For
instance, it cannot have playgrounds or other recreation amenities.
Mr. Ruzek shared the planned enhancements to the visitor access:
•Monument sign on the corner of Pilot Knob and Acacia, highlighting that this is a city
park with the name of the park
•The gravel parking lot would be relocated slightly to the north, expanded somewhat
•Repairing the gate and removing half of the existing roadbed that runs to the cemetery,
planting vegetation there
•Constructing a paved walking path that would be ADA compliant
Page 5
•Visitor entrance center
•Gathering site for field-trip groups
•Installing a mowed trail to the seven Oaks area
•Installing a mowed trail to the four Oaks area
•Installing a mowed trail to the future interpretative area
•Gravel or off-road type trail that would bring residents down to the Big Rivers Regional
Trail
Commissioner Hinderscheid asked for the purpose of the park. Mr. Ruzek replied that it is a
historical park and is intended to be a native prairie park. The entire park is listed on the
National Historical Registry.
7.e Pedestrian Trail Benches
Mr. Ruzek explained that Commissioner Kipp reached out to staff and requested that the city set
a standard of one bench for every one mile of trail that the city maintains. Currently, there are
only a couple of benches along city trails as most are located within the city parks. Most of the
benches are along a county road or a major road; some of those locations should meet the
requested criteria.
He noted that the city does have a Park Bench Donation Program. The cost to install a single
park bench can range from $1,500 to $3,000. A $1,000 donation is required and the city
sponsors the remaining costs. There are currently approximately 22 miles of city trails, which
would equate to approximately 22 benches.
Staff requested feedback from the Commission was whether they feel there are an adequate
number of benches on the city’s trail system, should there be more, and are there specific
locations where they would want benches,
Commissioner Hinderscheid said it would be easier to have a discussion if they knew where the
current benches were located. He also noted that having one for every mile seemed more than
what would be needed.
Commissioner Sherer asked how the Park Bench Donation Program was promoted. Mr. Ruzek
replied that it is on the city’s website within the Parks and Recreation page. It has not been
promoted much, per se. However, it could be marketed in the city’s various publications. It was
also noted that whenever a bench is donated the Commission is informed.
Staff was directed to do an existing bench study and create a map of where the benches are
located and return to the Commission for further discussion.
7.f Horseshoes Request
Chair Goldade noted that this topic was brought to the Commission at their January 2019
meeting.
Mr. Ruzek stated that the resident who originally placed the request lives near Kensington Park.
North Kensington Park is currently an open space area and that is where Mr. Ruzek had
originally suggested putting the horseshoe pits. The Commission asked staff to provide some
additional information.
Page 6
The resident is looking for three or four courts (a 50’ x 50’ area) and are open to any Mendota
Heights park. Residents are currently going to West St. Paul on a weekly basis to play
horseshoes.
The Commission had noted that they felt the horseshoe area would get more use if they were
located near an existing park pavilion. Staff discussed with Parks Maintenance on a possible 50’
x 50’ location near an existing pavilion and received the following feedback:
•Wentworth Park – center island near pavilion, would require removal of trees
•Valley Park – no room near pavilion
•Friendly Hills – possible under power lines, would require grading (adding to the cost)
•Kensington – soccer fields take up most open space
•Rogers Lake – not much room left with aerator, canoe rack, volleyball and playground
•Hagstrom-King – possible near basketball court (no pavilion)
•Mendakota – possible on top of hill near basketball courts (not near pavilion)
Commissioner Hinderscheid asked about an open area in Wentworth Park where there had
been discussion of installing an archery range in the past. Mr. Ruzek replied that the open area
was still there, but it is not near the pavilion.
Commissioner Hinderscheid asked for confirmation that at one time the Commission had
requested someone do a study on amenities that the residents would be looking for within the
city. Assistant City Administrator, Cheryl Jacobson, replied that they had talked about doing a
more comprehensive survey; the City Council is also looking at that larger community scale as
well. However, staff does have the recreation survey submitted to a variety of educational
institutions to see if they could get a statistics class to pick up the survey. However, no response
has been received as of yet.
Motion Meyer, second Klepperich, to delay any decision on the horseshoes request and
possible inclusion of an archery range until some kind of recreation amenities survey has been
tabulated AYES 6: NAYS 0: ABSENT 1
Commissioner Hinderscheid asked if the volleyball court at Rogers Lake is used. Recreation
Program Coordinator, Meredith Lawrence, replied that she does not believe it gets used too
often. Commissioner Hinderscheid suggested that if it is not used very often, it might be a good
place for Horseshoes.
7.g Rogers Lake Park Streetlight
Mr. Ruzek reminded the Commission that at their December 11, 2018, meeting, the
Commission recommended the installation of a streetlight at the entrance to the upper Rogers
Lake parking lot. Letters were then sent to adjacent property owners asking for their input
regarding the installation of this light. The majority of the properties voted against this proposal
and the city received a petition objecting to this proposal.
The City Council unanimously voted down the request to install a streetlight at the entrance to
the upper Rogers Lake parking lot.
Page 7
Commissioner Hinderscheid expressed his appreciation to staff for including the opposition
letter in the packet of information as it is helpful to see the impact of lighting on the wildlife
habitats.

8. Reports
8.a Par 3 Update
Recreation Program Coordinator, Meredith Lawrence, announced that on January 15, 2019, the
City Council approved the purchase of a new fairway mower for the Mendota Heights Par 3;
total cost being $32,475.79. The Council, in their generosity, decided to fund the cost through
their General Fund so there will be no impact to the Par 3’s budget. The new Toro Reelmaster
3100D fairway mower will arrive late February 2019.
Commissioner Hinderscheid asked why the $60,000 in the cash fund was not used for these
purchases. Ms. Lawrence replied that they have spent much more than $60,000 on Par 3
equipment for this year. If they had used the cash fund for these purchases it would be deeply in
a negative balance. The Council is trying to help the Par 3 golf course out by using the General
Fund.
Ms. Lawrence then reviewed the December 2019 Par 3 Financial Report (unofficial). She hopes
to provide the Par 3 Annual Report at next month’s meeting.
Commissioner Hinderscheid stated that the proposed budget that was set up was high based on
2017 for the green fees. Ms. Lawrence replied that this was correct. They tried to be more
realistic in the 2019 budget on what is a realistic number for rounds played.
Commissioner Kipp asked when the debt would be paid off on the golf course. Ms. Lawrence
replied that this would be paid off in 2023. He suggested that she ask the Council for some
guidance on what to do with the excess funds once that happens.
Chair Goldade suggested that the Commission come up with suggestions on ways to increase
the number of rounds and bring those suggestions to the March 2019 meeting.
8.b Recreation Update
Recreation Program Coordinator Lawrence provided the following updates:
•Winter Program Recap
o Gymnastics and skating programs ended in January

9. Announcements and Commission Comments
Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence made the following announcement:
•Seasonal staff hiring is starting. Positions are posted on the city’s website
Commissioner Hinderscheid stated that this was a good meeting and the Commission is making
nice progress on some pretty good projects. He welcomed Dan and Stephanie to the
Commission.
He then asked Mr. Ruzek to comment on the Wentworth and Friendly Hills Tennis Court
resurfacing. Mr. Ruzek replied that he would have to look at the Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP), but he believed they were staggered to be 2 years apart; one in 2020 and one in 2022.
Commissioner Klepperich welcomed the two new commissioners. He expressed his
appreciation to Pat Hinderscheid for his work as the chair and welcomed Commissioner
Goldade as the new chair.
Commissioner Kipp welcomed the two new commissioners.
Commissioner Meyer expressed her appreciation for the warm welcome to the Commission.
Commissioner Sherer echoed Commissioner Meyer’s sentiments on the warm welcome.
Chair Goldade also welcomed Dan and Stephanie to the Commission.
He also requested that Ms. Lawrence spend 30 minutes putting together a report on Nordic
Skiing / Cross Country Skiing and have a Commission conversation on that at the March 2019
meeting.
Page 9
He also asked if staff has the ability to, after people pay for golf, send a them to a survey with a
reward. Ms. Lawrence replied that the new software will allow staff to send a survey after every
program is done. As per rounds of golf, they are working in the software to figure out how they
best utilize this new software for the golf course; still in the learning phase.
Chair Goldade also mentioned that he would like to get these meetings to be 90 minutes or less;
he believes that if everyone works together as a group it can happen. He does want every voice
to be heard.

TO: Parks & Recreation Commissioners
FROM: Ryan Ruzek, P.E., Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Wentworth Park Playground – Subcommittee Recommendation
INTRODUCTION
The Parks & Recreation Commission playground subcommittee met on Tuesday, February 26,
2019 and made final recommendations for the playground replacement at Wentworth Park.
The subcommittee has reviewed playground layouts from Mn-Wi Playground and Flagship
Recreation and is advising that the Parks & Recreation Commission recommend to the City
Council that the proposal by Flagship Recreation be selected for this park improvement.
Attached are renderings and a cost estimate for this improvement. The cost estimate is shown
at $148,936.49, which exceeds the budgeted amount of $140,000. The proposal shows
possible reduction due to bonds ($4,393.83) and drainage aggregate ($4,339.70). Staff will
work the vendor to reduce the overall costs to better align with the recommended budget.
ACTION REQUIRED
The Park & Recreation Commission is asked review the attached layouts for Wentworth Park,
and if they agree with the subcommittee recommendation, make a motion for City Council to
consider the playground improvements as proposed by Flagship Recreation.

SUBJECT: Programming Ideas for Wentworth
Background
At the February commission meeting there was a discussion about proposed plans for a new
warming house at Wentworth Park. In order to determine the size of the warming house the
commission wanted to know what recreation programs are being considered at this location.
Below are a list of the ideas that staff has for programming at Wentworth Park in the next year.
•Art classes for youth
•Move the playground program from Mendakota Park
•Theater camps for youth
•Music classes for youth
•Plant identification classes for adults
•Tree planting/tree care classes
•Raingarden/Shoreline buffer maintenance workshops
•Low maintenance turf workshops
•Star gazing events for families
•Kids planting programs
•Project wet classes
o Project WET’s mission is to reach children, parents, teachers and community
members of the world with water education that promotes awareness of water
and empowers community action to solve complex water issues.
•Pond invertebrate survey classes for youth
•Special events: Raptor Center, MN Zoomobile
Requested Action
The commission should discuss these ideas and let staff know if they have any other programs
they would want to be considered in the new warming house. The commission should determine
if the warming house schematic plan being considered will be able to accommodate these
programs.

SUBJECT: Research on Nordic Skiing
Background
At the February meeting the commission requested that staff research Nordic skiing and the costs
associated with it. After conducting research staff has determined that the cost to groom a Nordic
skiing area would cost approximately $18,000.
Below is the cost breakdown:
•Snowmobile: $14,000
•Drag: $2,000
•Tracksetter: $2,000
Two things that would need to be considered when discussing Nordic skiing is staffing
costs/availability and use of the Par 3 in the Winter. Staff will present more information about
this at the meeting.
Requested Action
The commission should determine if this is a type of recreation they want staff to continue
researching or if they do not feel it would be a good fit.

SUBJECT: Par 3 Marketing Ideas
Background
At the February meeting the commission asked that staff provide ideas for promoting the Par 3
for the 2019 season.
Below are the ideas staff is planning to promote the course this season.
•A coupon was provided in the Heights Highlights to try to get residents interested in
coming to the course
o The Summer and Fall Heights Highlights will include coupons going forward as
well.
•Staff has contracted with Groupon in order to attract new golfers to the course.
•There will be high school matches at the course this Spring, which will bring many local
high school players and parents to the course.
•A Junior PGA tournament will take place on July 1st in order to bring 60 new youth to the
course. Staff will be providing coupons for those who play.
•When camps and leagues end, staff provides each participant with a coupon in order to
encourage kids to return to the course with a family member.
•The course will do a $5 Saturday golf day, where anyone in the community can come and
golf a round for only $5. This will help to introduce new customers to the facility.
o We will also host a $5 Footgolf Saturday.
•Each month staff plans to post a promotion on the City’s website and Facebook page.
•Staff is working with the Police Department to host a tournament for residents to golf
with the City’s officers. This will be a wonderful way to promote the course.
•Staff is looking into doing a parent/child tournament at the end of the season.
Requested Action
The commission should review staff’s ideas for marketing the Par 3 and determine if there are
other sources of promotion they would like considered for the 2019 season.

SUBJECT: Community Engagement Ideas
Background
At the February meeting the commission asked to discuss ideas about a possible survey that could
be conducted in order to receive feedback from residents. This survey could include questions
regarding the City’s recreation programs and desired park improvements.
There were no funds allocated in the 2019 budget for a community survey. A community survey
could be recommended for the council to include in their 2020 budget. Research would need to
be conducted regarding costs, but staff believes a scientific study could cost between $20,000
and $30,000.
In the fall of 2018 staff reached out to a few local colleges to see if a research class would be
willing to work on a community survey for Mendota Heights. The project has not been taken on
by any school at this time.
If the commission is interested in conducting a non-scientific study this would be an option at
this time. An application like survey monkey could be used. Unfortunately we would not be able
to monitor how many times someone takes the survey and whether residents from other cities
were taking the survey.
Last year the commission had a table at the Parks Celebration to solicit surveys about park
improvement projects. This could be an option for the commission to receive community input
this year.
Requested Action
The commission should discuss the options for community engagement ideas and determine if
they want staff to research or proceed with a community engagement tool.
