The meeting was called to order at 6:30 P.M. The following Commissioners were present, Chair Paul Portz, Tom Kraus, Ray Morris, Larry Craighead, Michael Toth, Maureen Brackey and Liz O'Brien. Staff present were: Guy Kullander, Parks Operations and Project Coordinator, Teresa Gangelhoff, Recreation Programmer, and Nancy Bauer, Recording Secretary. MINUTES: The minutes were approved with a couple of corrections. Commissioner Craighead made a motion to approve the minutes, seconded by Commissioner Morris. AYES: 6 NAPES: 0 SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER PARKS AND RECREATION REPORT Chair Portz asked about the skateboard park youth trip. Ms. Gangelhoff announced that trip was canceled due to lack of registrations. Chair Portz said the Sibley gymnastics team was offering lessons. Ms. Gangelhoff said the classes are being offered on Saturday mornings and there may be another class added at the end of January. Chair Portz asked about the jingle bells program. Ms. Gangelhoff said it's being offered in conjunction with South St. Paul at their community center. It is geared towards 3-6 years old. Commissioner Kraus asked if there was a limit to the number of kids that could attend. Ms. Gangelhoff responded that there are 7 openings for Mendota Heights kids. Ms. Gangelhoff said that Rebecca is returning to teach outdoor skating lessons this year. This program is always popular and more classes will be added as needed. P-1 10/14/08 Draft Ms. Gangelhoff said the 55+ program is with the Thompson Park Activity Center and she advertises their programs that Mendota Heights residents can participate in. Chair Portz said the Parks Celebration date for next year has already been set for June 6, 2009. Ms. Gangelhoff said she attended the Minnesota Parks and Recreation Association Annual convention in Brainerd. There are a lot of break out sessions and speakers. It's a good opportunity to network with other recreation programmers. Chair Portz said the goal is to open the ice rinks on December 13th this year, if weather permits. Ms. Gangelhoff said last year was the best season ever for ice. She is now taking applications for rink attendants and will interview rink attendant applicants next week. Commissioner Craighead asked if the warming house hours were on the City website. Ms. Gangelhoff responded that they were on the website. The hours are also in the Heights Highlites and the school flyer. Commissioner Toth commented that the Parks Celebration was also the same day as Sibley's 50th reunion. Ms. Gangelhoff said Councilmember Duggan talked to the Planning Committee for Sibley's 50th reunion and they are scheduling activities around the Parks Celebration and there shouldn't be any conflicts. VICTORIA HIGHLANDS PARK PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT Mr. Kullander responded that he sent proposals to six companies for the playground equipment replacement at Victoria Highlands Park. All six responded back with proposals and two are going to present their proposals tonight. Midwest Playscapes, Inc. proposal was at $49,999. In the proposal companies were told there was a budget of $50,000 for the playground equipment. The working budget is $55,000 to $57,000 which leaves money for removal of the old equipment, removal of old border timbers, disposal of these items and contingency. Midwest Playscapes, Inc. uses a wood fiber base with a limited amount of equipment with little imagination. They are using a recycled plastic border with spikes to hold it down. Most vendors use this product because it is quick and easy to install. The border is susceptible to mower damage and the stakes do "work loose" pull out of the ground. The only other playground in Mendota Heights with this border is at Hagstrom-King. Chair Portz asked about the other kind of border that is used. Mr. Kullander said it is a border made of recycled and compressed car parts. Chair Portz asked how this kind of border holds up. P-2 10/14/08 Draft Mr. Kullander said they are indestructible. Mr. Kullander introduced John Elder of Minnesota/Wisconsin Playground. Mr. Elder said he represents GameTime playground equipment which is the world's largest and oldest modular playground manufacturer. They do about 41% of city parks and about 22% of the schools. They are different because they use direct bolt technology. With GameTime the posts come cut to the right height so there is no field measuring, no field cutting and no field drilling. GameTime comes with predrilled holes and there is an insert inside the post so there is no possible way for the installer to install the equipment incorrectly. The platforms are punched steel to allow snow, debris, ect. to pass through so there is no ice buildup. Chair Portz asked what kind of trim was used for the border. Mr. Elder responded they used concrete, which lowers the price of the playground. The three foot wide concrete can be used for tricycle riding and walking. The slide that will be put in is a "faster" slide than what is being used now. Each slide has channeled insets to remove water at the bottom of the slide. There is a tilted sky runner — that is their biggest seller. This is a circular piece that spins. There is a small slip slide for smaller kids. There is a double climber and a double zip slide. There is a rock wall, hanging pods, overhead climber, spinner, wave climber and stretched loop ladder. There are racing/cruising cars, c -spring toy, two bucket seats and two belt seats — suitable for the 2-5 age group. There is also shade structure. Commissioner Morris asked for the cost of the plan. Mr. Elder responded $49,875. Chair Portz asked if there was cement at any of the other playgrounds. Mr. Kullander responded that Mendakota and Kensington Parks play areas has concrete border curbing. Chair Portz asked how long it has been in. Mr. Kullander responded since 1990. It has worked out. The maintenance guys likes it and it is very durable. The only drawback with cement is you are stuck with that footprint in the future and it is more expensive to expand. Commissioner O'Brien asked if the bench or table under the shade is an existing table. Mr. Kullander responded it would be a new piece similar in color and materials to the new play equipment. Commissioner Morris asked if the table is in the proposal. P-3 10/14/08 Draft Mr. Elder responded it is a 6' table. Commissioner Morris asked about the warranty of the equipment. Mr. Elder responded there is a limited lifetime warranty on all the posts, locks, hardware and connections and a 15 year warranty on the rotational molded platforms, pipes, rungs, decks, and loops. Commissioner Craighead asked about the height of the swings. Mr. Elder responded eight feet high. Commissioner Craighead asked about the life expectancy of the shade canopy. Mr. Elder responded about 12 to 15 years. Commissioner Morris asked about the warranty for the canopy. Mr. Elder responded it is a 15 year warranty. Commissioner Craighead asked about the wood chips. Mr. Elder responded it was an engineered wood fiber, which is the shredded core of a hardwood tree. Wood chips do not have shock absorbency. Engineered wood fiber is a shock absorber and can be navigated by a wheelchair, walker, or stroller. Commissioner Craighead asked about the life expectancy of the engineered wood. Mr. Elder responded every 5-7 years you will do a top off of about 3". Commissioner Morris asked if it compresses. Mr. Elder said it does compress and does deteriorate from the base. Chair Portz said it was a good presentation. Commissioner Kraus asked if Minnesota/Wisconsin products were in any of the parks in the City. Mr. Kullander responded it was used at Hagstrom King Park in 2003 with the plastic borders. Commissioner Morris asked how the luck has been with it. Mr. Kullander responded it has held up other than the spikes coming out of the ground and a few parts that needed to be replaced due to vandalism. Commissioner Toth asked about other surfacing products be installed on the ground by the play equipment besides the engineered wood fiber. P-4 10/14/08 Draft Mr. Elder said tile could be installed but would not be practical. Shredded rubber — from shredded tires was put down in Northfield, but that is more expensive. Mr. Kullander introduced Bill Bach of Earl F. Anderson and stated there bid was for $50,000.00. Mr. Bach stated that Earl F. Anderson has been around for 37 years. They use Landscape Structures out of Delano, Minnesota. Earl F. Anderson has been a partner with Mendota Heights for over 25 years. Rogers Lake Park was installed last year with the new Evos system. Landscape Structures is known for the quality of their products. There is a piece in the structure called CoolToppers Shade that is made out of a poly fiber material. Four fabric pieces make up the shade structure. The warranty is a 10 year warranty against structural failure and deterioration. There is no ongoing maintenance. The panels can be removed in winter and they can be power washed. One panel costs $872.00 and there are four panels. Landscape Structures uses TenderTuff coating that protects against heat and cold. Panels are made of Permalene that is vandal proof. ProShield is a tough finish on the posts with a quality paint. It prevents rust if it were to get scratched. Landscape Structures will buy 14 trees to offset the carbon footprint. The border that has been used is Xpotential border that is made out of compressed soft interior parts from automobiles. It has a long lifetime expectancy. The play structure has a 100 -year limited warranty on steel fasteners, aluminum posts, clamps, beams and caps. Commissioner Morris noticed the structural steel frames was listed under the 10 -year warranty on the CoolTopper shade and the fabric is listed under the 5 -year limited warranty. Mr. Bach responded that the fabric under a 5 -year limited warranty. Chair Portz asked if they needed to be replaced - would it come out of the maintenance budget. Mr. Kullander responded that it would come out of the line item playground maintenance replacement budget that is about $6,000-$8,000 a year. Commissioner Craighead asked about the cost difference between the first plan that was $57,000 to $59,000 and the second plan that is $50,000. Mr. Bach responded that the footprint didn't change much but was reduced a little bit as the first structure was larger. The existing swing will be kept, lowered to 8' in height and the beam will painted to match the other equipment in order to keep the current footprint. There is a triple slide, a cable core which is another component that you crawl up, triple ring fling (3 revolving wheels), stepping stones, a cliff climber, and a fire pole. Commissioner Craighead asked the total cost of the shade shelter. P-5 10/14/08 Draft Mr. Bach said about $6,500 for the shade piece. Chair Portz asked how this plan compared to Marie Park. Mr. Kullander responded that Marie Park is about 15-20% bigger. Commissioner O'Brian asked if the equipment was being talked about. Mr. Kullander responded the equipment is similar but Marie Park's footprint is bigger lengthwise. Commissioner Kraus asked about the age group this equipment is geared towards. There isn't any equipment geared towards 3 years old which limit families with younger children coming to the park. Mr. Bach responded it is geared for 5-12 years old. There is no 2-5 year old equipment, except for a spring animal and two bucket swings for that age group. Commissioner Morris agreed with Commissioner Kraus' comments. This may be one of the last park we address. Mr. Bach responded that many communities do not include 2-5 year old equipment included in the proposal but there is room to add a 2-5 year old element. Chair Portz commented that a decision did not have to be made tonight and the Commissioners should look at the other parks in the City to get a better feel of the elements being talked about. Maybe a field trip can be planned with Guy and the other Commissioners to look at the other park playgrounds. Commissioner Morris thanked Mr. Bach for his presentation. Mr. Kullander stated there is no rush to make a decision tonight. The decision could be made at the November meeting. Mr. Kullander suggested that maybe the proposals could be narrowed down to two for consideration. Mr. Kullander said the majority our parks utilize equipment for 5-12 year olds. Mendakota Court has elements for 2-5 year olds as does Marie Park. A third vendor, Webber Recreational Design, Inc. came up with two concepts. One of the options includes an option for 2-5 year olds. There is a 12 foot transition space needed when 2-5 year old equipment is combined in a playground. The second option divides the equipment out for the two age groups. The play area footprint then becomes bigger if you include the 2-5 year old equipment. They would use black plastic borders. A fourth vendor, ClearWater Recreation uses Burke Premier Play Environments and use a quality product similar to Earl F. Anderson. We have gotten proposals from ClearWater in the past, but you don't get much equipment or activities for $50,000. It's a pricy product. Commissioner O'Brien asked how it was decided to use Earl F. Anderson so much in the past. Mr. Kullander said he started doing this for the City in the 1980's and he looked at a lot of different suppliers, went to meetings, and talked to recreation people. Earl F. Anderson's product was pretty P_6 10/14/08 Draft sturdy. In the 1970's the City installed redwood timber structures from Earl F. Anderson that held up really well — it didn't rot and looked really good. They had a complete package - designers, installation crews and good warehousing. The City has been well served with them. They have been really reliable with competitive prices. Commissioner O'Brien asked if Mr. Kullander would lean towards using Earl F. Anderson for this project. Mr. Kullander said he would because of the history with Earl F. Anderson. They stand behind their products and can get replacement parts after 10 years. They are one of the better firms in their field. Commissioner Morris asked if there were any problems with the equipment from the Minnesota/Wisconsin firm. Mr. Kullander responded the only problem was with the pieces on the climbing wall which looked like they were intentionally damaged. The pieces were replaced Commissioner Morris said Earl F. Anderson plan to upgrade the existing swing set with Minnesota/Wisconsin you get more play stuff than Earl F. Anderson. There were a lot of interesting and different stuff from Minnesota/Wisconsin. Mr. Kullander has a list of other cities that has Minnesota/Wisconsin equipment and could get pictures of the equipment. Mr. Kullander presented Flanagan Sales, Inc's proposal. They plan on putting in new swings which cost about $2,500 each. This plan is spread out a little bit more. This is a plan for 5-12 year olds. Commissioner Morris said he would like to use Earl F. Anderson or Minnesota/Wisconsin proposals. Mr. Kullander asked if the Commission would like him to get another quote that would include 2-5 play structures. Chair Portz asked if that would add to the cost of the proposal. Mr. Kullander responded that it would cut down on the play components already proposed . Commissioner Craighead commented that $6,500 for a shade element was expensive and he would rather put that money into play equipment. A tree would cost a lot less and last a lot longer. If he had to vote, he would vote no for the shade element. Chair Portz commented that the equipment at Mendota Elementary was put in by Earl F. Anderson, so the school district uses them as well as the City. Commissioner Morris commented that Somerset Elementary also uses Earl F. Anderson play equipment. Commissioner Kraus asked Mr. Kullander what two firms he would choose if he was going to narrow it down to two or three choices. P_7 10/14/08 Draft Mr. Kullander responded he would choose Earl F. Anderson and Minnesota/Wisconsin. Flannigan is pretty good also. It depends on what age group you are targeting and the durability of the equipment. Chair Portz asked if Mr. Kullander could get the cost of the shade element and if the shade is not purchased what other play elements could be added. Mr. Kullander said the shade panel from Earl F. Anderson is about $6,500 and that amount could be applied to a 2-5 year old element. Commissioner Kraus said a shade element would be nice for littler children and parents that use the park. Chair Portz suggested putting in a shade element and when it needs to be replaced if trees were planted now then the shade element would not need to be replaced. Mr. Kullander asked the Commission if they wanted him to get new proposals from Earl F. Anderson and Minnesota/Wisconsin without the shade element and an option for 2-5 year olds and keep it under $54,000. Commissioner Morris asked Mr. Kullander to get clarification for the warranty on the shade element fabric from Minnesota/Wisconsin. Commissioner Toth asked if the two companies submit a new proposal - could Minnesota/Wisconsin break down their bid more. Mr. Kullander said most companies don't break down their bids but would ask for the information. AR 3 UPDATE Chair Portz reported that Mr. Sedlacek was unable to attend tonight's meeting and there was a greens committee meeting and he would talk about Par 3. The Par 3 had a very good year with the number of rounds of golf played, good financial numbers and the clubhouse remodeling was finished. There was an appreciation day because of the remodeling which took all summer. The Par 3 made a $75,000 profit this year. It will probably close in early November. Commissioner Kraus said the profits do not include the time for Mr. Sedlacek and an accountant's time spent working on Par 3. His recollection was that the figure would be closer to $60,000 in profit. Commissioner Morris asked if the remodeling costs were reflected in the profit figure. Chair Portz responded that a lot of the work was covered by an ADA grant. Painting and siding were paid for out of the profits. Chair Portz said the Greens Committee agreed more improvements are needed and would like to get going on the improvements soon. More equipment is needed because the existing equipment is old. P-8 10/14/08 Draft Commissioner Craighead asked about the capital expenditures of $29,000 - is that for the whole year or the month of September. Commissioner Kraus responded that the largest expenditure was a mower, siding was about $7,000 and there was the painting of the clubhouse. That was the money from the referendum under capital improvements. Chair Portz said one recommendation from the Greens Committee was - while looking at costs in the future to make improvements the recommendation was to raise the green fees $1.00 but not include seniors or kids for the next year. The money will be put back into the golf course. Commissioner Kraus asked if that would include the leagues. Chair Portz said that was not discussed but it would probably affect the leagues. Commissioner Morris said the Par 3 golf course had one of the lowest fees in the twin cities and will be one of the lowest yet with the increase. Chair Portz said the average cost of green fees are $12.50 and the Par 3 would be under the average. Commissioner Morris made a motion to raise the green fees $1.00 for adults and not including seniors or children. Commissioner Kraus seconded the motion. Commissioner Craighead asked if it needed to be decided tonight. Commissioner Morris said the City Council make the decision about raising the green fees. Commissioner Craighead said it could wait until February or March. Chair Portz commented that the marketing materials need to go out in January or February along with fee information to other cities. Commissioner Kraus said fees weren't raised last year because information was being gathered to see if increases were needed and it was determined there wasn't enough information. Another year has passed and prices have gone up on most everything and the Par 3 needs to keep up. Commissioner Craighead said there is a profit of $75,000 with 11,000 rounds of golf played if that kind of money is made a $1.00 increase may not be needed. Commissioner Morris said there are two mowers in bad shape that could break down anytime. Commissioner Craighead asked if the golf course should be a break even operation or a money making operation. Commissioner Kraus said there are more improvements needed at the golf course and would be risky to run it as a break even proposition. P-9 10/14/08 Draft Commissioner Morris said if the golf course were to make huge profits and the improvements were made the green fees could be lowered. Ultimately it will be the City Council that makes the decision to raise the green fees and the Commission is just recommending that the fees be raised. Chair Portz said this is a motion to make a recommendation to the City Council. Commissioner Kraus said the fiscal approach was a conservative one last year which was appropriate but more improvements are needed. Commissioner Craighead asked what improvements are needed. Commissioner Kraus said over $100,000 over the next three years is being discussed but did not have the list of improvements with him. Next month there will be a list. Commissioner Craighead said the recommendation can wait until next month. Commissioner Morris also agreed it could wait until next month and rescinded his motion. Commissioner Kraus also agreed it could wait until next month. Chair Portz said the item would be tabled until next month. Chair Portz said the Pilot Knob items would be tabled until next month also. COMMISSION COMMENTS Commissioner Craighead brought along the South West Review which has a picture of him and Chair Portz on the front page for attending the Police Academy. He continued that it is a very good program and recommends it to all citizens. It has been a very rewarding experience. Chair Portz said it's a three hour class in the evening with classroom training, going over laws and policies with amazing videos, and than hands on training. The last session was about the use of force. Commissioner Kraus asked what the Police Department's objective is. Commissioner Craighead responded it is for citizens to learn what law enforcement does and being an advocate for the police. Chair Portz said the better the community understands the Police Department the better it runs for the community. Chair Portz said there was going to be a presentation of Pilot Knob with pictures which will be done next month. I recommend everyone in the community go look at the beautiful leaves at Pilot Knob it's spectacular. Commissioner Kraus asked where things stood with the dog park. Chair Portz said the City Council has a planning meeting in January to discuss the dog park issue. P-10 10/14/08 Draft He saw a dog park the size of a hockey rink. He took pictures of the dogs using the park and pictures of the rules and gave them to Mr. Sedlacek who will present them to the City Council in January. Commissioner Morris said he remembered the Dog Club recommends a minimum of an acre for a dog park and there is one area in the City that could be developed for that. Chair Portz believes the issue of a dog park won't go away because there is a need for it in the community and people would like to have one in Mendota Heights. Commissioner Kraus made a motion to adjourn the meeting Commissioner O'Brien seconded the motion. AYES 7 NAYS 0 P-11 10/14/08 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMORANDUM Date: NOVEMBER 13, 2008 To: PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION From: TERESA GANGELHOFF RE: OCTOBER/NOVEMBER PARK AND RECREATION REPORT Youth Trips Winter Youth trips are planned on Monday, Dec. 29 to Bowling and a Movie and also Tuesday, Dec. 30 to Nickelodeon Universe at the Mall of America. I am meeting with Dodge Nature Center and Boltz's Tae Kwon Do to plan some spring break programming. So. St. Paul has a different spring break this year so we can't do any activity that will require a bus as we would not get enough participants without them to share bus cost. I plan to have some activities planned where parents can drop the kids off at Dodge or Boltz. I may also plan a Spring Fling type event for youth at Thompson Park Activity Center with WSP Parks and Rec. Simple Steps and "Do the Parks" met with the other cities involved in these programs within Dakota County today, Nov. 13 to review the program and put plans in place for next year. We will offer Simple Steps program and we are also looking at other "Healthy" programs to implement for youth to get out and get active. One program we are looking at implementing in Dakota County is "No Child Left Inside". We are going to do a trial with a classroom in Mendota Heights that will track activity of the students outdoors and inside and make a plan how to get the kids to get out and get more active instead of sitting inside watching TV, Video games etc... We are working with Dakota County Public Health to develop a better Do the Parks/Simple Steps website that will have all our city information on with activities residents can do outside to get active and enjoy recreation opportunities in our community. They will also continue to be able to log minutes on walking/working out to keep active and earn prizes over the year. School Flyer I am working on a Winter Flyer for the schools to be delivered mid December and putting together recreation activities for the January edition of the Heights Highlites. Gymnastics Sibley Gymnastics team will again offer gymnastics for Mendota Heights and that program starts this Saturday, Nov. 15. Special Holiday Event Registrations are still open for Jingle Bells With Mrs. Claus will be held at SSP Community Center Friday Dec. 12 from 1-2 pm for ages 3-6 years old.

Fee is $33.00 and children register for classes according to ability. 55+Programs MH Park and Rec promotes the Northern Dakota County-TPAC programming for our area seniors and I will be helping Barb Eschle with some of the programming representing the City of Mendota Heights. Park Celebration Plans are in place for next year's celebration to be held Saturday, June 6, 2009. If you have any ideas you would like to see or want to volunteer please let Teresa know. I am working with Deb McConnell who is in charge of the Dist. 197 150th Anniversary Celebration which will be held the same weekend as our park celebration. We are going to coordinate events so they do not overlap each other at the same time. Ice Rink Season is lust around the Corner! Most of the last year's rink attendants are returning but I have just hired a few new attendants or subs to make sure we have enough staff for the three rinks.

I interviewed and hired Tony Olson who was a past tennis coach at Highland High School and is currently a teacher at Harding HS in St. Paul. He is excited to get back to coaching and very enthusiastic about our program and Jr. Tennis team. 2009 Program Ideas I am looking into some programming with the MinnAqua program that would tie into our fishing derby. (example -a class for kids to identify types of fish in Rogers Lake etc...) Geocache, another program I am looking into if I can find some funding for is to start up some type of Geocashing in Mendota Heights Parks where families can get out on our trails or parks and use hand held GPS to locate items or "treasure" in our parks. Also to develop a geocaching policy for our parks as it is getting to be a popular activity, I have included some comments from users on the geocache website, many are hidden in our parks and all over Mendota Heights.

I'll go to a course a few times a year with my dad, but what I to can't really be considered golf - I have a wicked slice that lands me in the rough most of the time, nd the way I play the rest of the hole is akin to someone with a weed whacker out there.

At the October meeting the Commission requested additional information and alternate designs from Earl F. Anderson (Bill Bach - play components from Landscape Structures) and Minnesota/Wisconsin Playground (John Elder - play components from Game Time). The proposals submitted by these two firms met all of the requirements of the RFP, but the Commission desired additional information about product warranty, additional sunscreen options (trees and other structure options), and a playground layout option with 2-5 age appropriate play element(s) in addition to the 5-12 age options in the original proposed playground plan / layout. The attached e-mail was sent to both vendors and copied to commission members. DISCUSSION: Proposals submitted by each vendor illustrate use of a three-foot wide concrete sidewalk around the play area as well as a "timber border" (EFA product is X -potential composite landscape timbers and MN / WISC Playground is extruded plastic). Both proposals meet the "not -to -exceed" $54,000.00 project working budget. The original submittal, as well as the two new submittals from each vendor, are attached. EFA Quote #0096243 includes a `Cool Topper' shade structure @ $4,863.00 (to upgrade to the `Full Shade' structure in the original submittal would cost an additional $3,800.00. The EFA Quote #0096245does not include a shade structure but contains additional play equipment and an offer to plant three trees on the site (ball/burlap - trunk 2-1/2" to 4" diameter). EFA has also provided an add - option of $1,931.00 if x -potential timbers are used in lieu of a three-foot wide concrete sidewalk (price for the composite timbers have increased in excess of $20 per timber over last year's prices). RECOMMENDATION: Review the materials submitted and consider one of these options: 1. Do nothing. Thank the vendors for their interest in this project. Revisit this project at a future date. 2. Select a vendor and playground design option (three submitted by each vendor). 3. Select a vendor and ask for a fourth submittal with changes, omission, or additions the Commission may decide upon at tonight's meeting. 4. Delay making a final decision until the December meeting or an early meeting in 2009 5. Select a vendor and playground design - make a recommendation to City Council to approve this project for construction in 2009 with funding to come 50% from the Special Park Fund and 50% from the Cell Tower Fund. ACTION REQUIRED: Make a recommendation to the City Council or direct staff on how to proceed with this proposed project.

Park & Recreation Commission decided last evening to "narrow the field from six to two" and request Minnesota/Wisconsin Playground and Earl F Anderson to submit an alternate layout for this park with the following guidelines (your original proposals are "still on the table"): 1. Play elements for 2 to 5 yr olds 2. Also 5 to 12 yr olds 3. Shade element to be included as an Alternate Add Option (incorporate shade element within border) 4. Your design choice if both play component units (2-5, and 5-12yr old) have their own borders or are combined within the same border 5. Quote / proposal not to exceed $54,000.00 6. Removal of existing play equipment, border timbers, and site restoration by City or as an add-on pay item 7. Proposal shall break out project costs: a. Play equipment b. Installation of equipment c.

Seating shall be included in the quote/proposal — two benches or picnic table — materials to match play components (identify individual costs for these items) — locate within border h. Your proposal must also include the cost of 'wear pads' under regular swings, bottom of slides and any other appropriate locations (indicate total number of wear pads included) i. Prefer that four swings be provided — together — rather than two separate age appropriate units New layout plan required by noon on Thursday November 6th — next meeting of the Park Commission will be on Thursday, November 13th. Please include any additional information you wish presented to the Commission with your new layout. Your presence at this meeting is not requested.

What is the cost of a typical picnic table purchased for general use in City parks? A. A verage cost for a six foot galvanized steel tubular frame picnic table with 2"x 10" with SPFgrade /umber (spruce/pine/fir) for top and seats costs around $ 225.00.

What is the cost of 2-1/2" trunk diameter, 12 to 15 feet tall ba/led/bur/aped shade tree? A. Depending on the species of tree the costs couldrange from $300 to $500 with a one year guarantee, price would come down, say to $200 to $350 If multiple trees were p/anted. Note; Transplanted trees require two years in the ground before noticeable growth is apparent. To ach/e ve a shade benefit would require a trunk size of from 4A to 6" with a height of twenty Plus feet. Such a tree, again depending on species, would be in the $800 to $1,200 range. / do not believe that our City crew has ever planted anything larger then a 2-1/2" tree or one in the 2540-gallon-potsize -weight of the tree and root baff-is-a factor This- size of tree can be found fn garden centers for $150 to $250.

What is the cost of a typical picnic table purchased for general use in City parks? A. Average cost for a six footga/vanized steel tubular frame picnic table with 2"x 10" with SPFgrade /umber (spruce/pine/fir) for top and seats costs around $225 00 Upgrade for treated /umber adds $30.00 or recycled composite (wood/plastic resin) -boards "add $100.00. Existing in ventory of tab/es are stained, repaired each year. 0. What is the cost of a 2-1/2" trunk diameter, 12 to 15 feet tall ba/led/bur/aped shade tree? A. Depending on the species of tree the costs could range from $300 to $500 with a one year guarantee, price would come down, say to $200 to $350 ifmu/tip/e trees were p/anted. Note .• Transplanted trees require two years in the ground before noticeable growth is apparent. To achieve a shade benefit wou/d require a trunk size of from 4"16 6" with a height of twentyplus feet. Such a tree, again depending on species, would be in the $800 to $1,200 range. / do not believe that our City crew has ever planted anything larger then a 2-1/2A tree or one in the 25-40 gallon pot size - weight of the tree and root ball is a factor This size of tree can be found in garden centers for $150 to $250. Public Works usually hires someone with specialized equipment to assist them when moving /transplanting trees. This cost, plus cost of one or two parkguys shouldbe added to above costs. City crewmost/y p/ants 5ga/ pot size trees that have a 1 n diameter trunk and are about six to eight foot tall. 1101 Victoria Curve • Mendota Heights, MIN 55118 • (651) 452-1850 • FAX (651) 452-8940 www.mendota-heights.com November 13, 2008 Information for: From: Parks and Recreation Commission Guy Kullander, Operations & Projects Coordinator Minnesota/Wisconsin PLAYGROUND - "GameTimeIf Original Proposal: (submitted 09-23-08) $50,000.00 - 3ft Concrete walk - 12'x 12' Shade Shelter - Some 2-5 age elements Note: New plans submitted are identical in design, layout & equipment as original plan of 09-23-08 Proposal D4027J (submitted 11-05-08) - Plastic border ltimbers"in lieu of concrete - With shade shelter Proposal D4027J Alt: (submitted 11-05-08) - Plastic border `limbers - No shade shelter Proposal D3987J2: (submitted 11-05-08) - Concrete sidewalk - With 12ft by 12ft shade shelter $53,916.02 $ 50, 690, 35 $52,125.86 November 13, 2008 Information for: From: Parks and Recreation Commission Guy Kullander, Operations & Projects Coordinator Earl F.

Andersen November 5, 2008 Guy Kullander City of Mendota Heights 1101 Victoria Curve Mendota Heights, MN 55118 Dear Guy, Thank you for the opportunity to present alternate playground designs for Victoria Highlands Park on behalf of Landscape Structures. It is our belief that these new designs will provide a level of imaginative and healthy play equal in standard to the Mendota Heights park system. We have provided two different playground plans that incorporate varying components and structures. Each plan is based on the newly increased budget of $54K. Both designs incorporate a concrete sidewalk perimeter, sandbox, and the requested 2-5 yr. old play structure. We have also included a comparison sheet between the two styles of CoolTopper® shade structures. In the plan without the CoolToppers shade structure, the 2-5 yr. and 5-12 yr. play structures have been increased in size and play value due to the extra funds available. Also, as part of this plan, Landscape Structures will purchase (3) trees that can be planted in the park for enjoyment by families and to provide natural, healthy shade. In the plan with the shade structure, we have added an additional concrete pad and a picnic table to benefit those using the park. You will be pleased with the excellent service provided by the staff of EFA. We've been in business for over 37 years, have over 100 years combined sales & design experience, install everything we sell, and believe that our success is measured by our customer's satisfaction. Again, thank you for this opportunity to provide the highest quality playground equipment to the City of Mendota Heights. Sincerely, Bill Bach, C.L.P, C.P.S.I.

The month of October showed a significant drop in the number of rounds played, as well as an increase in maintenance activities. The intent of this report is to provide a snapshot of revenues and expenditures for the month and for the year to date. More detailed reporting will be conducted on an annual basis, as are all other city funds. Par 3 October Cash Flow Worksheet Course revenues for 2008 have outpaced expenditures by a total of $64,207. In October 2008 expenditures exceeded revenues by $11,145. Expenses for October include a third payroll, and significant maintenance costs to complete bunker rehabilitation (both materials and time), time for fertilizer applications, etc. Additional expenditures which are not reflected on the sheet include the purchase of a fairway mower totaling $7,029, the planting of four trees near Dodd Road totaling $1,300 and administrative costs totaling $23,344 for 2008. When these costs are considered, the resulting operating revenue over expenditure is $32,534. A year end total expenditure looks to be below that of the average for the 10 year period of 1995- 2005 as provided by the previous owner. Operations Update 551 rounds of golf were played at the Par 3 in October 2008 (473 in October 2007). Year to date, we have seen 12,164 rounds played, up slightly from the same time period last year, where 11,970 rounds had been played. The course may re -open for weekend play, weather permitting. Winter fertilizers and chemicals have been applied, and tee signs, ball washers and benches have all been removed from the course.

The City opted to make no unnecessary changes to the course at that time, including greens fees. Prior to completing the annual report for 2008, staff would like to have some discussion around greens fees for the 2009 golf season. Attached you will find two items — a table comparing the Par 3 to our closest competitors. The table shows the course name, location, par and greens fees as provided to the Minnesota Golf Association. The second sheet is a chart depicting weekday greens fees at the selected courses. The average weekday greens fee for the courses listed in the study is $12.36. The average weekend rate is slightly higher at $12.75. A handful of these courses offer discounted rates for seniors ($11.11 average) and juniors (10.97 average). Staff recommended a $1 increase to the greens fees for weekdays and for weekends, which would bring the Par 3 greens fees closer to the market rate for similar courses. Staff based this recommendation on the following information: o The Par 3 has a stated goal of carrying over $40,000 from the end of one golf season to the next. The course will fall short of that goal in 2008. It should be noted that a number of "catch-up" maintenance projects were completed this year — tree maintenance, bunker rehabilitation, etc. o Rounds played at the Par 3 were up in 2008, but the number of rounds played across the nation declined in 2008, following a similar trend in the past few years. o While the City has been able to streamline operations expenditures, the costs for staff and materials do go up each year. The Par 3 has not raised prices since the start of the 2006 golf season. o A $1 increase could be implemented and the course would still be the least expensive course of any type in the metropolitan area. The Par 3 greens committee, an ad-hoc group made up of two citizens and two P&R Commissioners, discussed the potential of a rate increase in October. This group's primary concerns were that the course continue to be an asset to the community and that it be affordable to the youth of Mendota Heights. After some discussion, the Greens Committee recommended to the Parks and Recreation Commission that greens fees be increased by $1 per round on weekdays and weekends, with rates for seniors and juniors (16 and under) remaining at the current level. Page 1 of 2 While there is not set procedure for setting greens fees at the Par 3, staff feels this discussion should be made by City Council, with a recommendation from the Parks and Recreation Commission. Recommendation Staff and the Greens Committee are recommending that the greens fees for 2009 be set according to the following schedule: Weekdays Weekends Greens Fees $10 $12 Sr Greens Fees $9 $11 Jr Greens Fees (16 you and under) $9 $11 Second Round $5 $5 Pull Cart Rental $2 $2 Power Cart Rental $10 $10 Action Required If the Parks and Recreation Commission desires to implement the recommendation, pass a motion recommending the adoption of the proposed fee schedule for the Mendota Heights Par 3.
