AYES 7: NAYS 0 6. Citizen Comment Period (for items not on the agenda) None. 7. Acknowledgement of Reports Chair Klepperich read the titles of the updates (Par 3, Recreation, Park Improvement, and Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Updates) and polled the Commissioners for questions. 7.a Par 3 Update Parks and Recreation Manager Meredith Lawrence reported that the course was opened on April 1 but was then closed a few days later because of the weather. She stated that foot golf is open, and they are still awaiting delivery of the gas carts. She reported that a junior/adult golf championship event was hosted this past weekend and was a great event. She advised of open staffing positions at the course and clubhouse. She noted that there is a backlog for the three pieces of equipment that were ordered for the course, and they are attempting to stretch the life out of the pieces being replaced. She reported that the City received the MRPA award for its marketing and communication section for the Par 3 rebranding. Commissioner Sherer asked the registration numbers for the golfing event. Ms. Lawrence replied that there were 13 teams. Commissioner Sherer asked the pay rates for the open staffing positions. Ms. Lawrence replied that all City pay rates are public information and included in the job descriptions posted on the City website. 7.b Recreation Update Parks and Recreation Manager Meredith Lawrence provided an update on the Tour de Rec program, upcoming Kids Garage Sale, Touch a Truck event, and summer concert schedule. She noted that they are still looking for instructors for tennis and pickleball programs. The Commission expressed support and excitement for the summer concert series. Ms. Lawrence reported a budget of $25,000 for the summer concert series. She stated that they will not be using that full budget amount and anticipated about $7,000 for all the concerts. Commissioner Sherer asked if the businesses assist in the concert events. Ms. Lawrence confirmed that the businesses do want to be more involved, noting that one business is going to bring in an ice cream vendor truck for one of the nights. 7.c Parks Improvement Update Parks and Recreation Manager Meredith Lawrence provided updates on the Wentworth warming house project bidding process, the dugout project, and the Pickleball with Public Safety event at Friendly Hills. She also reviewed the balance in the park improvement fund. Commissioner Sherer asked for clarification on the fencing work. Ms. Lawrence stated that they were going include Civic Center but could not. She stated that they are adding fencing at different locations and reviewed those details. Commissioner Meyer asked if it would be better to wait on the dugout at Civic Center until the fencing could be done as well. Ms. Lawrence confirmed that Civic Center could be delayed but noted that the funding for the dugout and fencing would be different at that park. She stated that the Commission could make the decision to delay the dugout work at that park if desired. Commissioner Muller asked if the dugout projects were planned for after the season, which would provide more time to make that decision. Ms. Lawrence replied that the intent was to have the project completed during the season, but that would be dependent upon the schedule of the contractor. Commissioner Sherer asked the type of fencing repair needed at Civic Center. Ms. Lawrence replied that at this time it was just the fabric but depending upon when it is completed, additional repairs may be needed. Commissioner Cotter referenced the Wentworth project and asked if that project could be completed before the 2023 season. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek replied that the project has to be completed by September 30th or the grant funds will need to be returned. Commissioner Meyer asked the opinion of others related to whether the Civic Center dugouts should be delayed. Commissioner Sherer commented that the scale of a project to repair fabric on the fence is not a big project. He believed that there would be more savings received by bundling the dugout project with the other similar dugout projects. Commissioner Cotter commented that the Commission worked hard to build momentum on the dugouts and therefore he wants that to continue to move forward. 7.d Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Update Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek stated that Mendota Heights contracted with a consultant to develop a Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan, noting that the City received grant funds to complete that project. He noted that there is an online survey and pinpoint map tool available for residents to provide input until April 28. He stated that the next phase of engagement would include booths and tables at different city events. Commissioner Sherer commented that he noticed a lot of pins on Dodd and Delaware and hoped that would encourage cooperation with the State to provide safe routes. He asked how much this work would cost. Mr. Ruzek replied that the City received a grant in the amount of $30,000 for this work with the City providing at least $5,000. He noted that the total cost was $36,000, with the City ultimately providing $6,000 of that cost. Commissioner Sherer asked the cost for all the strategic planning work the City has been doing. Ms. Lawrence commented that the strategic planning with the Commission had an estimated cost of $8,000. Student Representative Ness asked the type of outreach that is being done on social media. Mr. Ruzek replied that the survey is hosted by the consultant on Survey Monkey. He stated that the City would be happy if Student Representative Ness were to share this survey information with other students. He noted that there is a flyer with a link at the back of the packet. Commissioner Muller asked if there are opportunities for change on those County roads (Delaware and Dodd). Mr. Ruzek replied that the City Council, at its last meeting, passed support for two trails along Delaware, noting that those trails would be constructed with the street reconstruction project in 2025. He also provided options for trails along Dodd Road. Commissioner Sherer asked if the trail on Highway 55 would go on one side. Mr. Ruzek confirmed that MnDOT would be constructing a trail along one side. He stated that Dakota County is investigating the ability to construct a trail along an unused rail corridor as well. Motion Smith/second Blanks to acknowledge the staff reports. AYES 7: NAYS 0 8. New Business 8.a Consideration of Permanent Pitching Mound at Victoria Highlands Parks and Recreation Manager Meredith Lawrence presented the consideration of a permanent pitching mound at Victoria Highlands Park. She stated that the item was initially requested by MHAA in 2021 and the Commission recommended approval with the condition that MHAA cover 50 percent of the cost. She stated that the Council directed staff to engage residents in that area and research options for a portable mound. She advised that notices were sent to neighbors within 500 feet of the park boundary on March 8th, which encouraged residents to attend this meeting to provide input. She stated that the field is primarily used for youth baseball but is also used for pickup games and general use by residents. She stated that currently a portable pitching mound is used at this park, noting that is the practice for many of the City fields although there are permanent mounds at two locations. She provided details on the temporary mound currently used at Victoria Highlands which is quite outdated. She stated that the City has not purchased temporary mounds as that is the responsibility of the user groups. She reviewed the data that was collected related to the aglime and clay mounds. She noted that the vendor did not recommend either type for this location as Victoria Highlands does not have a water source available. She stated that the vendors recommended a temporary mound and reviewed the pros and cons. She provided details on the temporary mound options and data collected from neighboring cities. She stated that staff received quotes from reputable contractors and shared that data for the different options. She noted that if a permanent or temporary mound is recommended by the Commission, funding would need to be suggested as well. She noted that staff recommends the purchase of a temporary mound for the Victoria Highlands field. Chair Klepperich stated that he prefers the term “portable” mound rather than “temporary” mound. Commissioner Smith asked the types of mounds at Civic Center and Hagstrom King. Ms. Lawrence replied that those are clay mounds. Commissioner Smith asked if there are water sources at those locations. Ms. Lawrence replied that there are not water sources at those parks. She stated that there have been concerns and complaints that those mounds are brittle because of the lack of water. Commissioner Smith asked if the trucks that water the trees could assist with the mounds. Mr. Ruzek replied that is the sewer jet truck and is not a parks vehicle, therefore he would prefer to limit the time that vehicle is used on park activities. Commissioner Smith asked if the city information includes the school district fields. Ms. Lawrence replied that the data only included city fields and not school district fields in order to provide accurate comparisons. Commissioner Sherer stated that he was surprised by the tally of fields and asked how that information was provided. Ms. Lawrence commented that she submitted a data request to the cities and that was the information she received. Commissioner Sherer commented that Mendota Heights is unique in that it is a smaller community and has fastpitch or baseball fields, whereas many other cities have ball fields. He stated that Victoria Highlands is a baseball field, which was established in the November discussion. He stated that outfield fencing was installed, foul line fencing was installed, and the field was set up to accommodate 12-year-old baseball. He stated that each of the fields in Mendota Heights has its own purpose because of the field dimensions, while some fields can be multi-purpose. He commented that he is disappointed that a simple project like this is taking so long. He commented that the biggest downside to the portable mounds is that they can cause slipping of the pitchers. He commented that this is a baseball field, and this was a simple request by parents that devote a lot of time to teach children in the community baseball. He asked if the parents and MHAA were included in engagement to gather input from that group as well. Ms. Lawrence commented that the request did come from MHAA, but the direction of the Council was to engage the residents within 500 feet of the park. She noted that there has been email correspondence with MHAA. Commissioner Sherer stated that if the use of the field were to change, the permanent mound could be removed. He was disappointed that people had to invest this much time into this item rather than just building the mound. Chair Klepperich respects the comments and work of Commissioner Sherer but noted that he never heard that Victoria Highlands is only a dedicated baseball field as it can be used for other purposes. He agreed that the current MHAA softball commissioner has stated that there is no interest in using the field for softball at this time. Commissioner Cotter commented that within the staff report it was stated that permanent mounds were not recommended because there is not water and because of the staff time. He noted that he then heard that Civic and Hagstrom, which have permanent mounds, also do not have water. He asked how much staff time is used for those mounds. He stated that pricing will not be the deciding factor for his choice. Commissioner Sherer stated that he has taken a personal interest in Hagstrom King. He stated that when the mound dries out, a parent volunteered to bring water to the mound to maintain it. Ms. Lawrence replied that there is a water source at Civic Center as there is irrigation at the park and there is a water source at City Hall. She stated that the water source is the biggest piece in making it a success and keeping it in good condition, per the comments from the vendors. She stated that the City has received complaints that the mound at Hagstrom King is brittle and dry. She stated that the recommendation of staff was based on the input from the contractors and the lack of water source. She stated that the City did not intend to have the permanent mound at Hagstrom King, but that project was started by parents and therefore the City needed to complete it. Commissioner Cotter asked if this project could be funded through special parks funding because it is a new expenditure. Ms. Lawrence confirmed that staff believes that could be eligible for that type of funding but would need to clarify with the City Attorney. Commissioner Muller asked for clarification on the mentioned cost-share. Ms. Lawrence stated that in the fall, the Commission recommended that the project funding be split between the City and MHAA. Commissioner Meyer asked how long the current clay mounds have been in place and whether there is maintenance performed. Mr. Ruzek assumed that the mound at Civic Center occurred with the construction of that field and estimated about ten years for the Hagstrom King mound. He commented that maintenance over the years has been lacking in terms of the mounds. Commissioner Meyer stated that she was unsure why a clay mound at this location would be treated differently than the other locations in terms of maintenance, such as covering. Mr. Ruzek replied that the existing mounds are required to be covered as well. Commissioner Sherer commented that this would be for youth baseball and would not need to be perfect. He stated that the kids in this community are playing fastpitch and baseball at neighborhood fields. He commented that most of the Commission members have kids or grandkids participating in MHAA sports and have coached or volunteered in some capacity. He believed there should be a better partnership between the City and MHAA as there was a shift towards MHAA providing the recreational sporting opportunities for the children in the community rather than the City. Commissioner Smith asked if portable mounds would be covered. Ms. Lawrence confirmed that staff would recommend covering or removing if there was a different use for the field. She confirmed that the City staff could remove the mound for a different permitted use. Commissioner Smith asked if there have been an incidents of theft of portable mounds. Ms. Lawrence replied that she is not aware of any such incidents of theft. She noted that the portable mound would be pulled and stored indoors during the winter. Commissioner Blanks asked if there were any comments related to grip for the safety of the pitchers between the permanent and portable mounds. Ms. Lawrence stated that there were no negative comments from other cities related to safety from the portable mounds. She noted that the vendors did say the portable mound would provide a more uniform surface for safety. Chair Klepperich welcomed comments from residents in attendance. Adam Crepeau, 1016 Douglas Road, stated that he is a Board member of MHAA and the current Baseball Commissioner. He thanked the Commission for its continued discussion. He stated that they see the permanent mound as an important element of the field for the 12-year- old group that uses the field. He stated that in terms of maintenance, it is expected for all of the MHAA coaches to support the maintenance of the fields. He suspected that the majority of the maintenance effort of the mounds at Hagstrom and Civic Center is provided by MHAA parent volunteers. He did not recall any complaints related to the mound conditions. He stated that as far back as the past nine years, there has never been softball permitting requested for Victoria Highlands by MHAA and for the foreseeable future the field would continue to be used for 12- year-old baseball. He stated that MHAA uses the fields of Mendota Heights but also uses ISD 197 fields and West Saint Paul fields. He commented that although the portable mounds are portable, they are heavy. John Trosvig, 26 Somerset Road, stated that he is a parent and coach. He stated that he did watch nine-year-olds play baseball and although the portable mounds are not perfect, they do work. He stated that he had the “not-so-pleasant” task of moving a portable mound, which was not light and was not easy work. He commented on the need to properly place the mound. He noted that although the portable mounds are heavy, they could be picked up and rolled by older kids, which could create a safety hazard. He stated that he visited a lot of fields throughout the metro last year with his son’s traveling team and it would be nice to see the City fields brought up to that standard. Dan Novak, President of MHAA, commented on the lack of maintenance from the parks and recreation department. He asked if there could be an agreement for MHAA to take on responsibility of maintenance of the mounds. He stated that they could supply additional clay in the fall and water throughout the season. He stated that MHAA would take on a lot more maintenance of the fields if allowed. Ms. Lawrence commented that the brittle condition of the mound would be fixed with water. She was unsure about MHAA bringing trucks on the field, but there could be continued discussions about maintenance. She believed that the City holds itself to a good standard for maintenance of the parks. Commissioner Cotter asked if there would be a barrier to MHAA being responsible for the maintenance of the mounds. Mr. Ruzek replied that there has been poor success related to DIY improvements. He noted that he would need to speak with the City Attorney related to liability of a non-City vehicle driving in a City park. Commissioner Cotter asked if MHAA could bring buckets of water to the mound to prevent brittle conditions. Mr. Ruzek confirmed that there would not be issues with carrying buckets of clay or water onto the field. Commissioner Sherer stated that MHAA also adds water in the batter boxes. He asked the potential plan for maintenance and storage of portable mounds. Mr. Ruzek replied that he was unsure how many mounds MHAA owns. He noted that this portable mound proposed is not round and therefore could not be rolled. He stated that the City could assist in moving the mounds if there were another event, and would also install in the spring, remove in the fall, and store during the winter. Commissioner Meyer stated that if the mound is installed in the spring and removed in the fall, what would be the difference in a portable mound rather than a permanent mound. Mr. Ruzek replied that a portable mound could be moved during the season if a user wanted to use the field for another purpose. Chair Klepperich commented that a clay mound is similar to playdough, whereas aglime mounds have no binding features and the mound ends up as a pile of dirt. He noted that rain is an issue that can impact clay mounds within a relatively short amount of time. He stated that the most effective method to deal with wet mounds would be dry clay. He noted that playing on a wet mound can damage the mound and cause injury. He stated that a portable mound would provide consistency and regular play, even though there were some opinions against that option. He stated that a clay mound would need to be serviced on a regular basis, would need water to provide proper packing, and to be covered with a tarp when not in use. Commissioner Sherer asked the timeline of each of these options in terms of availability of the portable mound and installation of that mound or a clay mound. Ms. Lawrence stated that staff cannot move forward until the Council decision is made on April 19th. She would assume that they would be behind schedule because of the timing of this item and the poor weather conditions this spring therefore she anticipated the end of May or early June for project completion of a clay mound. She noted that the project itself is fairly quick, the issue would be that it is a small project and would not receive priority over the larger projects the contractors would be working on. She stated that it appeared the portable mounds are in stock and once delivered, could be installed by public works. Motion Smith/second Muller to recommend a clay permanent mound for Victoria Highlands with half of the project cost to be provided by the City and the other half to be provided by MHAA. Further discussion: Chair Klepperich asked and received confirmation from MHAA that they would agree to pay half of the cost. AYES 6: NAYS 1 (Klepperich opposed) Chair Klepperich thanked the representatives from MHAA for attending tonight and appreciated their passion for the sports and all they do for the children in the community. 8.b 2021 Parks, Recreation, and Par 3 Annual Review Parks and Recreation Manager Meredith Lawrence presented the Parks, Recreation and Par 3 annual report. Commissioner Sherer commented that it appears the City is partnering with neighboring communities on some of the programs and asked for details on how that works. Ms. Lawrence replied that the City has an agreement with the other cities for joint programming and provided details on that process. She noted that it has been a huge benefit to have those partnerships as Mendota Heights does not have the facilities to provide those programs. Commissioner Sherer asked if there is a sense of the participation that will be in the adult softball. Ms. Lawrence replied that a few teams have backed out this year due to injuries, vacations, or other reasons. She noted that there are eight teams confirmed at this time. Commissioner Sherer commented that a contributing factor in the decline in adult softball and golf has been the shift to parent volunteer organizations providing youth sporting activities. Ms. Lawrence noted that golf participation has increased for Mendota Heights which is a benefit for the Par 3. Commissioner Sherer stated that the increase in golf may have also been linked to other sports being canceled during COVID-19. Commissioner Smith asked if merchandise can be purchase at the clubhouse. Ms. Lawrence replied that merchandise is available for purchase but stated that clothing is not currently available onsite for purchase. Commissioner Blanks asked if there is a goal for operating surplus at the golf course. Ms. Lawrence stated that the previous goal had been to break even, as the course had previously lost about $10,000 to $20,000 each year. She stated that her goal is to turn a profit each year in order to fund future capital improvement costs. Student Representative Hess asked for more details on the youth programming for the course. Ms. Lawrence replied that the junior/adult golf tournament was new this year and they are also adding a “Glow Golf ” event for teens this fall. She noted that more junior programs were added relating to camps, clinics, and leagues. She welcomed any additional suggestions. Chair Klepperich commented that the report was well done. 8.c Adopt-a-Park Program Presentation Assistant City Administrator Kelly Torkelson stated that staff is in the process of finalizing a volunteer policy and program that would help to facilitate and encourage volunteers throughout the community. She stated that the concept of an “Adopt-a-Park” program has come up as a suggestion of the Commission and is something used by other cities. She stated that staff has put together service descriptions for all of the activities that could be completed by volunteers and noted that citizens have the option to also submit their own suggestions for volunteer activities. She reviewed the items that would be applicable to an Adopt-a-Park program. Commissioner Cotter asked if there has been input from other communities that have an Adopt- a-Park program related to the length of commitment. Assistant City Administrator Kelly Torkelson stated that the “Adopt-a-Highway” program requires a significant commitment, but also includes a sign advertising that service. She noted that signage recognizes not only the person or group providing the service, but the program itself. Commissioner Cotter believed the commitment to Adopt-a-Park program should be at minimum one or two years. Assistant City Administrator Kelly Torkelson commented that many cities have a standard commitment of two years. Commissioner Cotter stated that he would support two years as the minimum commitment. He stated that in terms of recognition he supports all three options within the staff report. He noted that signage would not need to be elaborate as the person or group adopting the park could change in two years. He stated that all of the forms of recognition did not seem costly or difficult to implement and would provide benefit. Commissioner Meyer stated based on previous discussions on this topic, she believes this should start as a one-year pilot program at one park. She stated that Marie Park had previously been proposed for a pilot as there were many interested neighbors. She stated that in terms of recognition or signage, perhaps there is a small sign at the park stating the neighborhood has adopted the park. She stated that a small celebration could be held at the end of the year and then the data collected from that pilot could help to guide the formal program going forward. She stated that Commissioners should also make a commitment to attend volunteer activities. Assistant City Administrator Kelly Torkelson stated that in terms of administering the program, there is not much difference in staff time to running a pilot program or full program. She stated that there has been interest from different groups and therefore did not want to create an issue with fairness in only selecting one for a pilot. She stated that there could still be a one-year period to review and make amendments to the program if necessary. She confirmed that there has been interest from different residents/groups. Ms. Lawrence advised of different groups that already complete clean-up in parks or have expressed interest in doing so. Commissioner Sherer asked if previous volunteer clean-up activities in the park have coordinated around Earth Day. Mr. Ruzek stated that some of those events have coincided with the City’s clean-up day which has not been active for the past two years. He stated that there is an Earth Day activity scheduled for April 23rd and he provided details on that event. Commissioner Sherer asked if there would be an intent to replace the clean-up day with this Adopt-a-Park program. Assistant City Administrator Kelly Torkelson stated that while there has been interest in the program, she would doubt that the program would fill the first year. She hoped that momentum would grow as the program moves forward. Chair Klepperich stated that it appears there is support for the program. He agreed that there should be a recognition program but noted those decisions could occur at a later time. Assistant City Administrator Kelly Torkelson confirmed the consensus of the Commission that the commitment to begin the program should include a one-year commitment. She stated that any residents or groups interested in participating should contact City staff. Motion Cotter/second Smith to support an Adopt-a-Park program with a requirement to adopt the park for a one year period and the program should be open to any groups or residents that want to participate; this should be brought back to the Commission to discuss recognition opportunities. Further discussion: Commissioner Meyer asked if a group wanted to run a one-time event, would they still be able to complete that park clean-up in an adopted park. Assistant City Administrator Kelly Torkelson stated that the intent would be to direct people to opportunities rather than allowing a clean-up event in a park already sponsored. She noted that different groups could sign up to complete different activities within the same park, such as clean-up and landscaping. AYES 7: NAYS 0 9. Unfinished Business 9.a Community Engagement Outreach Update Parks and Recreation Manager Meredith Lawrence stated that information was included in the packet related to community engagement outreach. She stated that at the last meeting the Commission identified community groups they would be speaking to and assigned members to reach out to the groups in order to identify the contact person and group availability. The members of the Commission provided an update on the progress they have made with their assigned groups. It was noted that it would be helpful to supply the questions to the groups ahead of the meetings with them in order for more thoughtful responses to be provided. It was noted that this item will be on the agenda for the next meeting as well. 9.b Park and Recreation Strategic Planning Update Parks and Recreation Manager Meredith Lawrence provided an update on the items within the park and recreation strategic planning item. She noted an upcoming worksession with the City Council on April 25. 10. Staff Announcements Parks and Recreation Manager Meredith Lawrence shared the following announcements: • Kids Garage Sale on April 30 • Available staff positions are listed on the City website • Fields are still closed because of the wet conditions • Other events can be found on the City’s website 11. Student Representative Update Student Representative Hess commented that he has noticed a lot of bicyclists out in the warmer weather, along with walkers. The path at Friendly Hills is in rough shape. Mr. Ruzek commented that trail maintenance at that park is not included in the maintenance list. He stated that he did notice a similar comment in the outreach from the past week. Chair Klepperich commented that Student Representative Hess is an appreciated member of the Commission. 12.
