7.Acknowledgement of Reports
Chair Blanks read the titles of the three updates (Par 3, Recreation, and Park Improvement
Updates) and polled the Commissioners for questions.
7.a Par 3 Update
Parks and Recreation Director Meredith Lawrence stated that the Par 3 briefly opened in March
and officially opened in April for the 2024 season, reviewing the number of rounds played in
each month. She noted that both months surpassed the number of rounds played in those
months during 2023. She provided an update on turf conditions, an emergency leak that
occurred and the related repair, the irrigation system, and planned capital projects. She also
provided additional explanation on equipment and chemical application used on the golf course.
7.b Recreation Update
5a.3
Recreation Coordinator Willow Eisfeldt provided a recreation update including Music in the Park
and other recreation offerings for residents of all ages. She also highlighted new and returning
programing opportunities for residents.
Commissioner Schifsky asked the typical group size for the adulting walking group.
Ms. Eisfeldt commented that it ranges depending on the weather and date, but they have had
anywhere from three to 15 residents in that group.
Ms. Lawrence reported on the recent Touch-a-Truck event and expressed appreciation for the
work of Ms. Eisfeldt as this was the largest event with the most positive feedback. She noted
that this was the first event with sensory friendly time and there was great appreciation from
residents, and residents from other communities that made the drive to attend the sensory
friendly time.
Chair Blanks commented that there are such unique and creative ideas to engage the
community through the new programing and event opportunities.
Commissioner Meyer noted the recent Taylor Swift night which had a huge turnout with a lot of
excitement.
Ms. Eisfeldt commented that registration was capped at 20 because of capacity limitations, with
another 20 on the waitlist. She stated that those in attendance had a lot of fun and hoped to
have more in the future with more capacity.
Commissioner Muller asked for more details on yoga in the park.
Ms. Eisfeldt commented that there will be two different classes, held in Ivy Hills Park, and
provided those details. She confirmed that there is not a cap on those that can attend the video
game truck event.
7.c Parks Improvement Update
Parks and Recreation Director Meredith Lawrence stated that the Rogers Lake Skate Park
project has been completed and invited the Commission to the ribbon cutting on May 22nd. She
stated that the second lift was paved for the Wentworth tennis court project and the remainder
should be completed with an estimated opening for use at the end of June. She highlighted the
status of the 2024 park improvement projects including the Marie Park tennis courts, Mendakota
fiber installation, Wentworth pickleball striping, and the Marie Park dugout and fencing and field
work.
Commissioner Schifsky asked if the pickleball lines would be painted at the same time as the
tennis court.
Ms. Lawrence replied that it would not as the projects are being completed by two different
contractors.
7.d Park System Master Plan Update
Parks and Recreation Director Meredith Lawrence stated that staff has been meeting with
stakeholders and community groups in order to complete engagement, noting that staff has met
with over 600 people thus far. She noted that the online survey has had 530 unique
contributions. She noted that residents can still complete the survey through May 22nd if they
4
have not already completed that activity. She stated that staff walked the parks with the
consultant and noted that other staff members have also been involved to contribute information
related to financial data. She stated that they have also identified communities that could be
used for benchmark comparisons that will help to guide some of the recommendations in the
future phases. She provided additional details on focus groups that were held and the feedback
that was received. She stated that she is pleased with the work the consultant has done thus
far and invited the Commission to attend an upcoming Council worksession where the
consultant will provide an update.
Commissioner Meyer asked the difference between the phases of engagement.
Ms. Lawrence explained that in phase one they are asking open-ended questions and in phase
two they will ask more pointed questions to narrow the scope. She used the example of a
splash pad, which continues to be a desire of the community and noted that in phase two there
will be more specific questions as to whether residents would support a specific financial
contribution, through a tax increase, that would be required to support a splash pad. She stated
that those additional questions will help to determine whether something is just a cool idea or
whether residents actually support the item, recognizing the financial contribution that would be
required. She stated that there has been a trend of residents wanting more programing and
events, and phase two will focus of the types of programs and events desired by residents.
Commissioner Meyer noted that knowing why residents want something, such as a splash pad,
will help to guide the process as well. She noted that if the reason why is that people are
looking for something for their kids to do, that could be provided through programing or a
partnership with another community that has an aquatic amenity. She stated that perhaps the
time when programing is desired would be helpful information as well.
Ms. Lawrence provided more details on the different groups of stakeholders and community
groups that staff has been meeting with.
9. Unfinished Business
9.a Commissioner Community Engagement Update for Master Plan
Commissioner Muller reviewed the different groups that she has reached out to for engagement.
Commissioner Schifsky reviewed the different groups that she has reached out to for
engagement. She stated that she will continue to have conversations and distribute her
postcards.
Commissioner Hanson commented on the engagement she has completed, noting that during
her interactions with the pickleball groups she is finding that many are not residents and has
been trying to focus on the residents.
Commissioner Muller commented that non-residents are still park users and could provide input.
Ms. Lawrence agreed that there are park amenities shared between communities and input
from those non-residents is still helpful.
Chair Blanks reviewed the residents and groups that he has reached out to for engagement,
noting that he has distributed over 350 postcards. He commented that people have been very
receptive.
5
Commissioner Toth reviewed the groups he has reached out to and those he still plans to
engage. He commented that he has received good feedback and hopes that they are providing
that through the QR code format as well.
Ms. Lawrence commented that the survey does close at midnight on May 22nd, but the QR Code
will still be used for phase two engagement as well. She recognized that this is a large project
and a lot of work, but it will only be as good as the engagement they receive. She appreciated
the time the Commission has spent on this project.
Commissioner Schifsky suggested that the Commission members reach out to places of
worship that could remind their congregation to take the survey.
Chair Blanks noted the responses that were considered duplicate and asked if it could have
been potentially a husband and wife completing the survey.
Ms. Lawrence commented on the multiple reasons the responses are considered duplicate,
including the exact same answers for every question coming from the same IP address and
VPN.
Commissioner Meyer commented that when they did engagement prior to COVID there was a
group that included master gardeners that she intended to reach out to during this engagement,
but asked if that would be better for phase two.
Ms. Lawrence noted that they are about one week from the deadline, and it would be fine to
include new groups during phase two.
The Commission reviewed upcoming events and volunteered to attend certain events in
representation for the Commission.
7. Acknowledgement of Reports (continued)
7.e Parks and Recreation Strategic Planning Update
Parks and Recreation Director Meredith Lawrence provided an overview of the progress on the
Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan tasks.
8.New Business
8.a 2025 Preliminary Budget Discussion
Parks and Recreation Director Meredith Lawrence stated that staff is asking that the
Commission review and receive the Parks Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and determine the
next steps in presenting a proposed 2025 budget. She reviewed the goals which were created
using the Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan, which included a CIP and Asset Management
Plan (AMP). She described the budget process for the Commission, City Council and staff.
She explained that just because a project is included in the CIP does not mean it will move
forward, or that the estimated cost is the exact cost. She stated that projects can be moved
forward or backward, placed on pause, or not move forward at all based on need, funding, and
public input. She stated that the AMP and CIP may change with the input from the consultant
during the Master Plan process, but for the proposed 2025 budget they will be using the existing
Strategic Plan, AMP and CIP to make the recommendations to the City Council. She stated that
for 2025, the Parks CIP has over $1,300,000 in projects and therefore the projects will be
presented as options and the Commission will select its prioritized list to present to the Council
6
for potential inclusion in the budget as there is not that level of funding available. She stated
that staff will review the projects under $10,000 and the focus tonight will be on the larger scale
projects. She stated that in 2024, $275,000 in projects were approved by the Council with
$530,000 approved in 2023, and $25,000 approved in 2022. She stated that the Commission
should think of equity when reviewing the CIP and budget recommendations, to ensure equity
across the park system and programming. She reviewed the projects listed within the CIP for
2024.
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek provided an update on trail projects as well as updates to
park facilities such as picnic shelters.
Ms. Lawrence commented that if the Commission is interested in the picnic shelter updates,
staff could look into estimates for rehabbing those shelters rather than replacement.
Chair Blanks confirmed the consensus of the Commission to direct staff to look into rehabbing
the picnic shelters.
Commissioner Hanson asked if it would make sense to look into the future, placing solar panels
on the shelters to generate electricity for those shelters.
Ms. Lawrence commented that if the Commission desired, staff could look into that.
Mr. Ruzek commented that the City is maxed out on its allowable solar.
Ms. Lawrence continued to review the 2024 CIP list of projects.
Chair Blanks asked the estimated cost to replace only the swings at Rogers Lake.
Ms. Lawrence estimated $20,000 to $25,000.
Commissioner Meyer asked for additional information on basketball projects, specifically
whether the cost to paint lines is actually $1,000.
Ms. Lawrence noted that the cost is an estimate and dependent on multiple factors. She stated
that better pricing could be gained by lumping together multiple projects. She hoped that some
of that painting cost could come from the operating budget.
Commissioner Meyer recognized that there are many smaller cost items related to basketball
but if combined together that could be $50,000.
Ms. Lawrence stated that prior to the next meeting staff could assess the basketball courts and
hoops to better narrow that scope.
Chair Blanks suggested that the Commission focus on the 14 projects that have a cost above
$10,000 tonight.
Ms. Lawrence asked that the scope be narrowed to six to nine projects and she will then gather
more input from the Commission members prior to the next meeting to better align priorities.
Commissioner Meyer commented that the Rogers Lake playground is in great shape and does
not need to be on the list for 2025.
7
Commissioner Muller agreed. She asked if there are complaints or safety issues with the
swings at Rogers Lake.
Ms. Lawrence commented that she has received multiple calls from residents around Ivy Hills
asking when that playground would be redone. She stated that she has not received any calls
related to Rogers Lake. She commented that people have called about the swings stating that
they are making noise or appear rusty. She stated that if there is a safety concern, the
equipment is removed from usage immediately.
Commissioner Muller stated that the swings have been pushed off and perhaps it would be
helpful to have a replacement schedule, similar to what they are doing with baseball field
maintenance.
Commissioner Meyer suggested that the swings be replaced at either Valley or Ivy.
Commissioner Schifsky stated that she does hear the most feedback on the swings at Ivy Hills,
as that is a popular park item. She stated that perhaps the swings, or the whole playground, are
done at Ivy Hills. She stated that perhaps the Master Plan provides additional guidance on the
type of park that is desired in the future and therefore she would be hesitant to replace a
playground while the planning process is underway. She stated that she has also heard users
of the Wentworth basketball court requesting a full court and did not think that would change
based on the feedback from the Master Plan.
Commissioner Meyer commented that it would seem worthwhile to consider the swings at
Rogers Lake and Ivy Hills, but perhaps not the playgrounds at this time. She stated that
perhaps Valley would make sense because there is already construction in that area.
Commissioner Toth referenced the Wentworth hockey boards and input from John Boland that
the boards need to be replaced. He asked where the $30,000 estimate came from.
Ms. Lawrence commented that is strictly an estimate. She noted that she can attempt to get
better estimates on the priority list of the Commission.
Commissioner Toth commented that better refined costs would help him to make decisions.
Ms. Lawrence commented that it would not be feasible to have quotes provided for the full list,
but between now and the June meeting staff would try to refine estimates on six to eight
projects rather than the 45 projects on the list.
Commissioner Toth asked if it would make sense to tackle everything at Ivy Hills now rather
than picking a few things and then coming back in the future.
Ms. Lawrence commented that communities take different approaches to their parks, either
focusing on one park or sprinkling improvements across the park system. She noted that there
is not a right answer, but when you add new things, people will use them. She asked the
Commission to be mindful of equity.
Chair Blanks commented that he would be comfortable tabling improvements at Rogers Lake
with the exception of the swings and updates to the picnic shelter, as the skate park was a large
improvement at that park that was just completed.
8
Commissioner Hanson agreed and liked the idea of spreading improvements throughout the
parks, while addressing safety concerns.
Commissioner Muller commented that she would not be interested in additional fiber projects
until they see how the pilot at Mendakota can be assessed. She suggested that each member
of the Commission provide their top one or two projects, which may create the list of eight
projects for staff to work on. She stated that she would not be interested in replacing a
playground while they are working on the Master Plan as that may provide better guidance.
Ms. Lawrence commented that the Master Plan will not include concept plans for each park, and
she does not see any trending data that a playground will be removed, therefore it would be
safe to include a playground if desired. She also explained how the special park fund can be
used and that the remainder of funding will need to come from the levy.
Commissioner Toth asked staff for their recommendation.
Ms. Lawrence commented that she does not have a list necessarily. She stated that regarding
the hockey boards at Wentworth, if Mr. Boland says they need to be replaced, she would agree
with his recommendation. She commented that there are seven playgrounds in the que for
replacement from 2025 through 2029, acknowledging that things can be moved back if they do
not need replacement. She stated that if a playground is not done in 2025, that will push the
Commission back on that list. She commented that there has been increased use of basketball
courts with two hoops, and that is the feedback she continues to hear from teens. She noted
that basketball improvements also tend to fall on the lower end of the financial scale. She also
agreed that rehabbing the picnic shelters could be a great idea as they are heavily used and
perhaps the two shelters could be rehabbed for the same cost that replacement of one shelter
would have had.
Chair Blanks asked about the Kensington fence.
Ms. Lawrence commented that the fence is structurally sound, but it is an eyesore with holes in
some areas. She stated that while it does need work, it could be deferred for another year. The
Commission agreed to defer that project for another year. Ms. Lawrence stated that staff has
also considered alternatives such as netting that could be used over the fence.
Commissioner Schifsky noted that the existing half court at Wentworth is in poor condition and
asked if that would be replaced in addition to the new space that would be added to create a full
court.
Ms. Lawrence explained that a full court would be similar in size to the Marie Park court, which
would be rectangular in shape with two hoops.
Commissioner Meyer proposed the following projects: playground replacement at Valley Park,
basketball expansion at Wentworth, City staff to evaluate the other basketball maintenance
needs to provide a better estimate of cost, rehabilitation of the two picnic shelters, and potential
swing set replacement at Rogers Lake and Ivy Hills.
Chair Blanks commented that he would add the rink boards as recommended by Mr. Boland.
Commissioner Meyer agreed.
9
Chair Blanks commented that he would also like to see the Hagstrom King connection point and
Commissioner Schifsky agreed with that as well. Chair Blanks noted that they should also do
an infield resurfacing, as they have been doing one of those each year.
Commissioner Muller commented that she would prefer to do the playground at Ivy Hills.
Mr. Ruzek provided additional details on the connection for Hagstrom King.
Commissioner Muller commented that people can walk around that area to access the park.
Ms. Lawrence commented that the connection mentioned was to the baseball field.
Mr. Ruzek commented on the existing pedestrian ramp and noted that a trail could be run from
that location to a concrete pad behind the backstop of the field, which would provide accessible
access.
Ms. Lawrence noted that they have also received requests for some seating/bleachers.
Commissioner Muller identified a good location for a trash can at Hagstrom King.
Ms. Lawrence stated that they could resolve the trash can location offline, outside of the budget
discussion. She noted that the pricing for the connection is an estimate and she just wanted to
better explain what the project would be.
Commissioner Schifsky stated that it would be great to have access from both sides, with
perhaps a different material placed around the park because the park has woodchips, as that
would allow someone in a wheelchair to get around.
Mr. Ruzek commented that for years they have talked about a connection from Hampshire
Drive, noting that he would provide that connection when the street projects goes forward in the
next five years. He stated that the other trail projects mentioned tonight would be the decision
of the Commission on whether to move forward. He stated that there could not be an access to
the back of the playground because it is too tall.
Chair Blanks asked for input from the Commission on whether the playground replacement
should occur at Ivy Hills or Valley.
Ms. Lawrence noted that she could put both options on the survey and they can use the input
she gathers from the Commission to determine which is favored. She then recapped the list
provided from the Commission.
Commissioner Muller questioned whether the basketball should be expanded at Wentworth
versus Ivy Hills because of all the recent improvements at Wentworth, in terms of equity.
Commissioner Meyer stated that she would prefer to do Wentworth as that park is now a draw
and then people get there, and basketball is in poor shape.
Commissioner Muller agreed and noted that if the playground is replaced at Ivy Hills, that would
provide equity.
10
Ms. Lawrence commented that she will send a survey to the Commission members asking them
to rank their priorities for these projects. She will compile those results for the Commission to
review at its June meeting prior to making a recommendation. She suggested that the
Commission also visit these sites and perhaps solicit input as well. She stated that she can also
make a projection on costs that could be funded using the special parks fund.
Commissioner Schifsky asked if the Commission were to recommend replacement of the
playground at Ivy Hills and that were included in the budget for 2025, could that be changed
prior to completing the project if the results of the Master Plan showed a need for replacement
at a different park location would be higher priority.
Ms. Lawrence commented that the Master Plan would be presented to this body and the City
Council in January or February of 2025. She explained that if there is a playground
replacement approved for inclusion in the 2025 budget, staff begins prepping the RFP in
December so that the playground could be replaced in time for users to enjoy it during the
summer months. She commented that she does not see any major changes to the playground
space at Ivy Hills, again noting that concept plans will not be included in the Master Plan. She
stated that thus far it has been noted that while there is not a need for additional playgrounds,
there is also not a need to remove any. She stated that her concern with only doing the swing
set at Ivy Hills would be that it would limit the playground in the future as the swing set container
would need to be increased. She commented that even with the prioritized list, not all the parks
projects will move forward at the City Council level because there is competition from the needs
of all other departments. She stated that she will send the survey out by May 17th and asked
that the surveys be completed no later than May 29th. She noted that in the update to the CIP
and AMP they will aim to better spread the projects and develop a good plan moving forward,
also identifying the financial needs for the future.
8.b Park Bench Donation Recommendation
Parks and Recreation Director Meredith Lawrence stated that a park bench donation has been
received from Laura Doty for Ivy Hills Park. She stated that staff walked the site with Ms. Doty
and found a location that would be a good site. She stated that the desired plaque language
was also included in the packet and staff agrees with both the plaque and bench location.
Commissioner Schifsky asked if that is near the retaining wall that needs replacement.
Ms. Lawrence stated that staff has discussed the option of removing that retaining wall and
gently grading that area instead, noting that more details will come on that. She stated that staff
has spoken with this donor and the previous donor to ensure that the potential of the retaining
wall would not impact the bench locations.
Motion Meyer/second Muller to recommend approval of the Park Bench Donation for Ivy Hills
Park by Laura Doty. AYES 6: NAYS 0
8.a 2025 Preliminary Budget Discussion (continued)
Commissioner Meyer asked if there should have been a recommendation on the proposed 2025
Par 3 projects. She stated that she does agree with the list but would continue to be opposed to
the fiber.
Ms. Lawrence stated that one of her goals for the golf course is to increase customer service
and customer experience by having an online tee service, as they are one of the only metro
courses where you have to call to make a tee time. She stated that they struggle with having a
11
strong enough connection to operate the phone, credit card machine, and an online tee service
as the current connection is not strong enough. She stated that the golf course is intended to
be self-sufficient and therefore she would review the funding that would be available. She noted
that the fiber could also provide connection to the other golf course systems, such as irrigation.
She stated that while she does recommend the tee service, she is investigating whether there
would be an alternative to fiber to provide that connection.
Chair Blanks commented that he would support the fiber connection for that reason.
Commissioner Muller commented that she does support the online tee system and if fiber is
needed to provide that, she would also support that.
Ms. Lawrence commented that the fiber would also help to support cameras as there continues
to be vandalism as well. She commented that the tee system would not only provide better
customer service but also save staff time as in the spring she often has to drive to the course
multiple times in order to schedule for schools. She confirmed the consensus of the
Commission in support of the tee software and potentially fiber, noting that she will bring
additional details back to the June meeting. She also noted recreation and stated that Ms.
Eisfeldt is maxed out in her current capacity. She stated that they will need to review the
recreation opportunities to determine the focus going forward.
Commissioner Muller commented that it would nice to review those events after the new events
are held to determine what is popular and what needs to change.
Chair Blanks commented that he would prefer for staff to provide their recommendation and the
Commission could then review and approve that.

Trail Improvement
and Maintenance Plan
8a1.27
OVERVIEW OF TRAIL SYSTEM
Park and Trail System
The City of Mendota Heights provides 27.4 miles of city trails and on street connections (wide
shoulders), 2.7 miles of county trails, 3.7 miles of MnDOT maintained on street connections, and
8.4 miles of privately owned and maintained sidewalks.
In 1989, a voter-approved park referendum was passed which funded upgrading 8 existing
neighborhood parks, constructing 5 new parks, and constructing 7.8 miles of trails.
The City of Mendota Heights currently has sufficient park acreage to serve its residents, although
not all residents have equal access to those facilities. Future improvements will focus on
updating existing facilities and adding trail connections to neighborhoods that lack access to
parks. Trails are an important component and are the focus of this plan because they connect
neighborhoods to one another and the community to regional recreational opportunities. A
comprehensive trail system also enhances alternative opportunities for transportation.
Identified Trail Gaps
Improved trail connections are important because many residential areas are divided by
highways and arterial roads. The Big Rivers Regional Trail along the Minnesota River and the
trail connection to the I-35E Bridge trailway have also heightened the awareness and demand for
improved access to the river valley. Access to the Big Rivers Regional Trail is difficult due to the
significant elevation changes. As a result, many areas of the community cannot be easily
accessed on bikes, roller blades or foot from other areas of the community. Additional or
improved trail connections create opportunities for alternative transportation and healthy living
and are needed to provide residents access to City parks and other recreational opportunities in
the region.
Trail gaps and proposed connections/improvements planned by the City are shown on the
existing trail system map and are listed below.
Identified Gaps
• Dodd Road (I-494 Loop to Mendota Heights Road)
• Lexington Avenue (Wagon Wheel to Tom Thumb)
• Lake Drive (Mendota Heights Road to Visitation Drive/Lake Drive)
• Wentworth Avenue (Dodd Road to Delaware Avenue)

TIMP OVERVIEW
Trail Improvement and Maintenance Plan (TIMP)
The Trail Improvement and Maintenance Plan (TIMP) is a planning tool that forecasts the city’s
needs over a five year period based on city-adopted long-range plans, goals and policies. The
TIMP includes detailed descriptions of trail improvement projects and maintenance projects the
city anticipates to initiate during the five-year period. The TIMP is updated annually to ensure
consistency and the reflection of changing demands and financial resources.
TIMP Goals
The goals of the TIMP are to:
o Provide a balanced program for trail improvements given anticipated funding revenues
over a five-year planning period.
o Enable the Mendota Heights City Council to evaluate the needs of the entire city
objectively.
o Anticipate needed trail improvements in advance, rather than being overlooked until
critically needed.
o Provide a plan for trail improvements that can be used in preparing the budget for the
coming fiscal year.
Project Details
The trail improvement projects being reported in the TIMP will be shown within the following
sections:
o Preventative Maintenance
o Trail Rehabilitation
o Trail Construction
Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance activities that are performed on a continuous schedule are tasks such
as trail sweeping, crack sealing, pothole patching, and spot repairs. Preventative maintenance
activities that are performed on an as-needed basis are tasks such as snow and ice removal,
drainage control, signage replacement, and graffiti control. Trail maintenance activities are
funded through the Public Works Parks Department - Parks Maintenance Fund out of the
General Fund Levy.
Trail Sweeping
Trail sweeping is an important aspect of trail maintenance, helping ensure trail user
safety. Sweeping should be performed on a regular schedule.
Crack Sealing, Pothole Patching and Spot Repairs
Repair of bituminous trails should be closely tied to trail inspection and setting priorities
for repairs. The time between observation and repair of a trail will depend on whether the
needed repair is deemed a hazard, to what degree the needed repair will affect the safety
29
of the trail user, and whether the needed repair can be performed by the trail maintenance
crew or if it is so extensive that it needs to be repaired by contracted services.
Snow and Ice Removal
The Mendota Heights trail system is open year round, requiring snow and ice removal.
Removal of ice and snow is important for safety reasons and long term life expectancy of
the trail system. Attention must be paid to those areas where there is a grade change
and/or curves.
Drainage Control
In places where low spots on the trail catch water, trail surfaces should be raised, or
drains built, to carry water away. Some trail drainage control can be achieved through the
proper edging of trails. If trail drainage is corrected near steep slopes, the possibility of
erosion must be considered.
Signage Replacement
Trail signs fall into two categories: safety and information. Trail users should be
informed of their location, where they are going, and how to safely use trails. Signs
related to safety are most important, thus they should receive the highest priority.
Information signage can enhance the trail users experience and is prioritized behind
safety signage.
Graffiti Control
The key to graffiti control is prompt observation and removal. Graffiti should be noted
during trail inspections and the graffiti should be removed as soon as possible.
Trail Rehabilitation
A trail rehabilitation project will be defined as a project in which the trail is modified or
supplemented in-place, to restore the serviceability of the existing trail.
The City of Mendota Heights maintains approximately 27.4 miles of trails of which 25.4 miles
are off-street trails maintained by the Parks Department and 2.0 miles are on-street connections
(wide shoulders) maintained by the Street Department.
As the trail infrastructure ages, it requires rehabilitation to protect or extend its useful life. If the
trail infrastructure is not preserved, it will deteriorate prematurely and its benefit to the
community will be lost. As a result, the TIMP reflects the broad direction of the City Council to
preserve existing trail infrastructure before they fall into such disrepair that expensive
reconstruction is required. Typically, the City of Mendota Heights completes trail rehabilitation
projects in conjunction with nearby street improvement projects and as funding is available.
Trail Construction
A trail construction project will be defined as a project whereby many or all meaningful elements
of a new trail (previously non-existent) are being constructed. Typically, the City of Mendota
Heights completes new trail construction projects as funding is available.
30
Trail Facilities
Reconstruction projects are identified and planned as part of the Street Improvement Plan (SIP).
As street improvements projects often include impacts to adjacent trails requiring replacement or
maintenance, trail improvement projects that are not impacted from adjacent street improvement
projects are identified within this plan; however, total anticipated trail costs for street
improvement projects are included in the summary of the trail project costs and maintenance
needs funding table.
Trail improvements totaling approximately $1.1 million are planned for in the 2024-2028 TIMP.

As the city trail system begins to age, general maintenance such as
trail sweeping, bituminous patching, crack filling and restoration
becomes a necessity. The maintenance will allow for a longer service
life for the trail system throughout the city. City trails are in need of
general maintenance to maintain the high level of service to
pedestrian walkers, bikers and roller bladers.
This project provides maintenance such as sweeping, patching, crack
filling and restoration for the city's trail system.

CONTACT: Meredith Lawrence, Parks and Recreation Director
ACTION REQUESTED:
The Commission should make a formal recommendation to the City Council in regard to the 2025
Parks, Recreation, and Par 3 capital expenditures.
BACKGROUND:
At the May meeting, staff presented to the Commission the Parks Capital Improvement Plan and
discussed the capital needs in parks for 2025.
The following timeline was discussed for the FY2025 Budget:
•May 14: Meeting to review CIP and proposed 2025 projects
•June 11: PRC will make FY2025 budget recommendations to the City Council
•June/July: Staff will work on Budget Improvement Packages (BIPs) for desired 2025 projects
and work with the Finance Director and City Administrator on financing options and feasibility
•August: Staff will meet with the City Council in budget work session to present parks,
recreation and Par 3 requests
•September: City Council will set preliminary budget for FY2025
•December: City Council will approve final budget for FY2025
At the May meeting the Commission asked staff to facilitate a survey to see where commissioners feel
2025 budget priorities should be. Included in the packet is the commissioners’ prioritized lists that
staff calculated into a ranked priority from the commission.

As requested at the May meeting, staff will provide an update on the projects that the Commissioners
sought additional information on regarding an estimated cost.
It is estimated that at the end of 2024 the Special Parks Fund will have a balance of approximately
$188,000.
The Commission should review the Parks and Par 3 CIPs to determine if any changes should be made.
Staff plans to bring back the CIPs this Fall for further review once a recommendation for the 2025
budget is complete.
