She also highlighted new features that residents can leverage with the existing communication tools to ensure they are able to stay up to date on topics that matter most to them. Councilor Lorberbaum asked if the messaging is redesigned for each social media platform when sharing the same message. Assistant City Administrator Kelly Torkelson replied that the different platforms have slightly different needs in terms of how the messages are crafted. She stated that the goal is to ensure that messaging is consistent. The original message is shared on the City website and small tweaks are made for each platform. Councilor Paper asked the length of time that passes without engagement before a resident is culled from the email list. Page 4 of 90 March 18, 2025, Mendota Heights City Council Page 3 of 6 Assistant City Administrator Kelly Torkelson replied that if a resident has not engaged with the emails for over one year, they are removed from the list. Councilor Lorberbaum noted that the Airport Relations Commission is not listed under the agenda packets item. Assistant City Administrator Kelly Torkelson replied that she can provide that information and confirmed that meeting is included on the list but simply was not shown in the presentation. Councilor Mazzitello asked how a resident would opt in to these communications. Assistant City Administrator Kelly Torkelson stated that there is a pop-up on the City website that will ask if the user would like to subscribe. She stated that another option to subscribe is available on the City communications page. Councilor Lorberbaum commented that the spring/summer programming guide was wonderful, enticing to read, and a good reference resource. Mayor Levine asked staff to provide more information on the survey itself. Assistant City Administrator Kelly Torkelson replied that the survey has been completed for the past three years with consistent questions asked each time to allow for comparison. She stated that the survey was open for responses for three months and about 80 people responded this year, compared to about 120 people in previous years. She explained that this survey does not have a cost to the City and if interested the Council could look into a more extensive survey that would have an associated cost. Mayor Levine commented that she appreciates the accessibility of the City and the attempt to meet people where they are. She welcomed any suggestions residents may have to continue to make communications more accessible. PUBLIC HEARING No items scheduled. NEW AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS A) PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH ICS FOR THE COMPLETION OF A CITY HALL AND POLICE DEPARTMENT FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND SPACE UTILIZATION STUDY City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson explained that the Council was being asked to approve a professional services contract with ICS for the completion of a City Hall and Police Department facility condition assessment and space utilization study. Councilor Mazzitello stated that this will be the first time many people in the city will hear details about this project and asked if part of the community engagement plan would explain the need for this project. Page 5 of 90 March 18, 2025, Mendota Heights City Council Page 4 of 6 Police Chief Kelly McCarthy stated that this should not be the first time people are hearing about this as there is an entire page on the Police Department section of the website dedicated to the space needs studies. She noted that bonding bills have been submitted, tours have been conducted, and information has been shared on the City Facebook page. She confirmed that would continue to be a part of the community engagement plan. City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson stated that facility needs were also discussed as part of the Parks System Master Plan process. Councilor Lorberbaum asked why they would be choosing this contractor and why the City did not go out for an RFP. City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson replied that ICS came highly recommended to City staff and the City began engaging with the firm about 2.5 years ago, therefore, they are not new to the table. She stated that ICS has worked with the local school districts and has municipal experience as well. City Attorney Amy Schmidt stated that for professional services agreements, there is no requirement for competitive bidding. Councilor Lorberbaum commented that she noticed that the firm is also willing to assist with possible referendum details. City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson confirmed that this is a full-service engagement in this phase of requested work and commented that the price is very affordable for the level of engagement and service that will be provided. Councilor Paper commented that the price of $15,000 for the scope of services seems low. City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson stated that ICS is a for-profit company that is in the construction business, noting the potential for the company to propose a construction management contract in the future. Councilor Paper commented that the pricing is very reasonable. Mayor Levine stated that there was an allocation three budget cycles ago of about $400,000 and asked if this expense would be related to that budget. City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson confirmed that this expense would come from those funds. She provided additional details on the other expenses that have come out of those funds. Councilor Mazzitello moved to approve PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT WITH ICS FOR THE COMPLETION OF A CITY HALL AND POLICE DEPARTMENT FACILITY CONDITION ASSESSMENT AND SPACE UTILIZATION STUDY. Councilor Lorberbaum seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Page 6 of 90 March 18, 2025, Mendota Heights City Council Page 5 of 6 B) RESOLUTION 2025-14 TO ACCEPT BIDS AND AWARD CONTRACT FOR THE FRIENDLY HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENTS Assistant City Engineer Lucas Ritchie provided a brief background on this item. The Council was being asked to consider Resolution 2025-14 accepting bids and awarding the contract for the Friendly Hills Neighborhood Improvements project. Councilor Mazzitello asked if there would be one assessment hearing for both project areas or one in 2025 and one in 2026. Assistant City Engineer Lucas Ritchie replied that there would be one assessment hearing that would include both project areas using the true construction costs from 2025 and projected costs for 2026. Councilor Paper asked if staff could reasonably identify the $1,000,000 difference between the estimated cost and bid. Assistant City Engineer Lucas Ritchie replied that the engineer’s estimate was spot on based on the volatility in the construction market over the past few years. He stated that the bids show that the construction market has begun to stabilize. He noted that Bituminous Roadways is a local company and the ability to utilize a construction company for two seasons is a win for both the City and the contractor. Councilor Mazzitello commented on the great work of staff, noting that the engineer’s estimate was almost in the middle of the bids received. Mayor Levine asked if the City typically receives six bids for projects. Assistant City Engineer Lucas Ritchie stated that for last year’s road project, the city received three bids and five bids on another road project. He stated that the number of bids is sometimes linked to the cost of the project and noted that staff sent the bid out early for the project in an attempt to gain favorable pricing. Mayor Levine recognized the great work of staff to secure lower prices. She asked for additional information on the utility franchise fees that will be used to fund a portion of the project. Finance Director Kristen Schabacker provided additional information on the utility franchise fees that were implemented and the funds anticipated to be collected. She explained that these funds were included in the 2025 budget. Councilor Paper asked if the contractor would complete the wear course this summer or whether that would be done in phase two. Assistant City Engineer Lucas Ritchie stated that the wear course would be done in the year the project section is completed, explaining that the 2025 project area would receive the wear course in 2025 and the second phase would occur in 2026. Page 7 of 90 March 18, 2025, Mendota Heights City Council Page 6 of 6 Councilor Mazzitello moved to adopt RESOLUTION NO. 2025-14 ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR THE FRIENDLY HILLS NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT (PROJECT #202407). Councilor Paper seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson announced upcoming community events and activities. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilor Paper stated that he and Councilor Mazzitello hosted the most recent Coffee with the Council which is a great format to allow informal discussion. Councilor Lorberbaum stated that March is Women’s History Month and shared a quote. Councilor Mazzitello echoed the comments related to Coffee with the Council and welcomed input from the public on preferred dates, times, and locations for future events. He stated that on Saturday he participated in a fundraising event through USA for Vets, which is a local nonprofit that raises funds for other veteran nonprofit organizations. He challenged neighboring communities to rekindle the mayors pickleball tournament. He stated that tomorrow is the Feast of Saint Joseph, the patron saint of Italy, and wished Italians a happy holiday.

BACKGROUND: Firefighter Jay Taylor announced his retirement from the Mendota Heights Fire Department effective March 17, 2025. Firefighter Taylor has been a Mendota Heights Firefighter for over 25 years. FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT: None ATTACHMENTS: None CITY COUNCIL PRIORITY: Premier Public Services & Infrastructure Page 11 of 90 This page is intentionally left blank 6.d REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: April 1, 2025 AGENDA ITEM: Authorize the Signing of Joint Powers Agreement with Dakota County for Absentee Ballot Services ITEM TYPE: Consent Item DEPARTMENT: Administration CONTACT: Nancy Bauer, City Clerk ACTION REQUEST: Authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to sign a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between Dakota County and the City of Mendota Heights for the provision of absentee voting administration services. BACKGROUND: In 2023, the Dakota County Board of Commissioners approved the elections absentee services joint powers agreement to be signed by Dakota County cities and other entities. The new absentee services for larger cities in Dakota County began with the 2024 election cycle and centralized absentee voting services for Dakota County voters. The services provided by Dakota County include: 1. Initialize all absentee ballot requests 2. Mail all absentee ballots to permanent absentee voters 3. Coordinate all correspondence to voters 4. Prepare materials for in-person absentee voting 5. Establish and convene an absentee ballot board to review and accept/reject absentee ballots 6. Issue replacement ballots as needed for rejected absentee ballots 7. Open, count, and scan accepted absentee ballots 8. Audit accepted and counted absentee ballot batches 9. Report results from all absentee ballot counts Under the agreement, the city's election staff would continue to assist walk-in absentee voters at City Hall using the absentee envelope process. City election staff would also serve residents that come to city hall to vote by direct balloting. The City of Mendota Heights did not sign the joint powers agreement because the Council Page 12 of 90 wanted to see how these provided services would work. At this time, all other cities in Dakota County have signed the joint powers agreement. Feedback from other cities that have signed the agreement has been very positive. Potential concerns that the Council expressed with the initial proposal by Dakota County have not manifested as cities that have signed the agreement have not had any negative feedback regarding the process. Because of this, staff recommends moving forward with the agreement for Dakota County to administer the city's absentee voting process. By signing the joint powers agreement and handing over the bulk of the absentee voting workload, this agreement would help reduce staff costs during absentee voting at city hall and would provide more time for other duties during elections. FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT: The estimated cost for the City of Mendota Heights to participate in this joint powers agreement for absentee balloting services with Dakota County for the 2026 election cycle, which includes the 2026 State Primary and the 2026 State General election, is estimated to be $5,552. During the 2024 budget discussions, $4,500 was included in the 2025 budget to sign the joint power agreement to use the absentee services for the upcoming 2026 elections. There are no costs to sign the joint powers agreement in 2025, as payment would not be due until 2026, after the elections. There would not be a budget impact in 2025 by signing the joint powers agreement. Costs for postage alone for the three elections in 2024 was $4,200.

BACKGROUND: The preparation of a Feasibility Report for the formerly known Hampshire Estates Street Improvements was authorized by the Mendota Heights City Council by adopting Resolution 2024-55 at the City Council meeting held on October 1, 2024. As staff reviewed available funding and staff availability in relation to previously committed projects for the 2025 construction season, staff reduced the roadways included within the formerly known Hampshire Estates Street Improvements and renamed the project to the Kensington East Street Improvements due to the streets included with the project. All streets within the Kensington East Street Improvements project were identified to be included within the Feasibility Report. The proposed streets to be rehabilitated are Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle, and Winthrop Court. Based on our observations and further verified by pavement condition ratings and a geotechnical investigation, these streets have deteriorated to the point where it is no longer cost-effective to patch the streets and rehabilitation is necessary. Roadways that were identified in the previously known Hampshire Estates Street Improvements and were excluded from the Kensington East Street Improvements are slated to be rehabilitated in the 2026 construction season. An additional Feasibility Report will be prepared for these improvements at a future date. The Feasibility Report indicates the estimated costs for the project, along with preliminary assessment estimates. At the end of the Feasibility Report, a project financing summary is included to show project cost splits and funding sources to be utilized. The total estimated Page 38 of 90 cost of the project is $1,117,768 including indirect costs. A portion of the Feasibility Report is attached and the entire report is available for review at city hall or via request. Staff are proposing to hold an informational meeting on May 1, 2025, for residents within the project area. FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT: Street improvement projects are proposed to be assessed to the benefiting property owners. Pursuant to the City’s Street Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Policy, the benefiting properties should be assessed 50% of the street reconstruction and rehabilitation costs. The following tables show the estimated unit assessments based on the City policy. PROJECT COSTS ITEM CONSTRUCTION INDIRECT TOTAL STREET REHABILITATION* $603,669.74 $120,733.95 $724,403.69 TRAIL IMPROVEMENTS* $82,849.07 $16,569.81 $99,418.88 STORM SEWER $130,236.19 - $130,236.19 RAIN GARDENS* $22,511.32 $4,502.27 $27,013.61 SANITARY SEWER* $27,946.25 $5,589.25 $33,535.50 WATER MAIN (CITY)** $10,587.00 $1,588.05 $12,175.05 WATER MAIN (SPRWS)** $79,117.55 $11,867.63 $90,985.18 TOTALS $956,917.14 $160,850.96 $1,117,768.10 * Includes 20% indirect costs for legal, engineering, administration, and finance. ** Includes 15% indirect costs for legal, engineering, administration, and finance FUNDING SOURCES ITEM COST ESTIMATE RESIDENTIAL ASSESSMENT MUNICIPAL LEVY UTILITY FUNDS S.P.R.W.S.

The project shows a total Municipal Levy of $461,621 and a total project cost of $1,117,768. Historically, 35% of assessment amounts have been paid prior to bond issuance and is reflected in the total bond amount. It is presumed that the City would secure bonding for the Municipal Levy and remaining Residential Assessment portions of the project ($697,052). The assessment amount of $362,202 is equivalent to 52% of the bond amount. Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429 Special Assessment Bond Issue requires that a minimum of 20% of the total bond issue amount be recovered through special assessments. As the project is designed and competitively bid, the calculated assessment amount will be updated leading up to the adoption of the assessment roll. The improvements are necessary to allow for safe and reliable street and utility services within the City of Mendota Heights. The project will be competitively bid to allow for a cost-effective improvement. The feasibility study has provided an overall analysis of the feasible improvements for consideration within this project area. Therefore, the proposed improvements within the areas outlined in this report are necessary, cost effective, and feasible from an engineering standpoint. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Resolution 2025-17 2.

Project No. 202506 INTRODUCTION Authorization The preparation of this report was authorized by the Mendota Heights City Council by adopting Resolution 2024-55 at the October 1, 2024, City Council meeting. This project has been designated as City Project No. 202506. The improvements to Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle, and Winthrop Court are entirely located in Section 36, Township 28, Range 23. Scope This report addresses the feasibility of street rehabilitation for the urban sections of Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle, and Winthrop Court. Engineer’s opinions of estimated costs for the associated improvements are noted herein and project funding strategies have been developed in this report. Location The proposed street rehabilitation area is shown in Appendix A. Resident Input An informational letter and questionnaire were sent to the sixty-five (65) residential properties located within the proposed project area on November 7, 2024, to inform them of the project. Thirty-seven (37) of the questionnaires were returned, for a 57% return rate. The two key issues that were asked in the questionnaire were drainage and traffic/pedestrian related issues. The letter, questionnaire, summarized responses spreadsheet and individual resident responses are shown in Appendix B.

Roadways within this development have not received significant rehabilitation or reconstruction since their original construction and are thirty-three (33) years in age. Haverton Road (South) 01 (3/31/2021) Page 52 of 90 Feasibility Report Kensington East Street Improvements Page 12 Project No. 202506 Haverton Road (South) 02 (3/31/2021) Haverton Circle 01 (3/31/2021) Page 53 of 90 Feasibility Report Kensington East Street Improvements Page 13 Project No. 202506 Haverton Circle 02 (3/31/2021) Abbey Way 01 (3/31/2021) Page 54 of 90 Feasibility Report Kensington East Street Improvements Page 14 Project No. 202506 Abbey Way 02 (3/31/2021) Abbey Way 03 (3/31/2021) Right-Of-Way & Roadway Assessment The existing urban street sections for Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle, and Winthrop Court include concrete curb and gutter, storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water main. The plats for these roadways show a Right-of-Way width of 55 feet. The existing roadway width measures 32.67 – 33.00 feet, from face of curb to face of curb. All streets included were constructed with a pavement section consisting of a 3.5” bituminous surface over a 6” Class-5 aggregate base. Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle, and Winthrop Court currently have a failing bituminous surface and are in significantly poor condition. These Page 55 of 90 Feasibility Report Kensington East Street Improvements Page 15 Project No. 202506 streets are nearing, or at, the end of their useful life, as confirmed by the geotechnical investigation, and the cost of maintenance and repairs continues to rise. Overlaying or seal coating is no longer a viable option, and these roadways no longer meet the City’s minimum design standards. Continuing to repair them is no longer cost-effective. The composite PCI for these roadways falls within the rehabilitation range and is below the range for preventative maintenance improvements. Based on the severity level of the pavement’s distresses & the extent of alligator & fatigue cracking present, a rehabilitation of Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle, and Winthrop Court is recommended by our pavement management system and geotechnical investigation. Street rehabilitation will consist of reclaiming the existing bituminous roadway and then placement of a new bituminous surface over the reclaimed pavement material. Pavement cores have been obtained for these streets that verify the existing street cross-section and that the material will be suitable for pavement reclamation. Storm Water Management Assessment The storm water for Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle, and Winthrop Court drains into an existing storm sewer system, including two neighborhood ponds. The existing storm sewer on Abbey Way, Haverton Circle, and Haverton Road drains west to the Kensington Pond. Existing storm sewer on Canton Court, Morson Circle, and Winthrop Court drain north into the Mendota Heights Road storm sewer. The Mendota Heights Road storm sewer drains north into the Hagstrom-King Pond. The existing neighborhood ponds generally drain from south to north. The Kensington Pond drains north into the Hagstrom-King Pond. Hagstrom-King Pond drains northeast into the Fieldstone Pond. The Fieldstone Pond drains northwest into the Lower Copperfield Pond. Lower Copperfield Pond drains northeast into the Upper Copperfield Pond. The Upper Copperfield Pond drains north into Friendly Hills Marsh. The proposed project falls entirely within the Lower Mississippi River Watershed District. Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle, and Winthrop Court have existing storm sewer. As part of the rehabilitation, all storm sewer manhole castings shall be reset. This includes replacing all concrete rings with High Density Poly-Ethylene (HDPE) rings and infiltration protection installation to minimize future maintenance needs. The storm sewer pipe is currently in good condition, with no need for replacement. Water Main Assessment St. Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) has recommended maintenance operations for the ductile iron water main pipe on Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle, and Winthrop Court. Maintenance operations shall include, but not be limited to, select fire hydrant and gate valve replacement, and installation of sacrificial anode cathodic protection. Page 56 of 90 Feasibility Report Kensington East Street Improvements Page 16 Project No. 202506 Sanitary Sewer Assessment The sanitary sewer located within the limits of the project site was cleaned and televised as part of Mendota Heights City Project MH202004 in 2020 on Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle, and Winthrop Court. Eight-inch polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sewer pipes are located throughout the project area. Overall, the pipes throughout the proposed project site are in good condition with very few instances of infiltration. Instances of infiltration are typically located near the pipe to manhole connections. As part of the rehabilitation project, all sanitary manhole castings shall be reset. This includes replacing all concrete rings and infiltration protection installation. This project does not include replacing any of the existing sanitary sewer lines. Pedestrian Trails and Pedestrian Ramps The trail along Mendota Heights Road was constructed in 1989 under Project Number 8519. An 8’ wide bituminous trail was constructed along the south side of the road and has a trail cross- section consisting of a 1.5” bituminous surface over a 6” aggregate base. As part of the Kensington 3rd and 4th Addition, pedestrian crosswalks were added at the newly installed residential streets of Canton Court, Haverton Road, Morson Circle, Winthrop Court. Most recently, the existing 1.5” thick trail was overlaid with 1.5” lift of bituminous in 2012 as part of City project #201011. Concrete pedestrian ramps were constructed in 2012 per ADA requirements in 2012. Using current 2024 ADA requirements, all pedestrian ramps included in this project are out of specification range. Private Utilities Xcel Energy owns and operates privately-owned gas and electric services. Arvig, CenturyLink/Lumen, Comcast, and Cogent own and operate communications including, but not limited to, cable television, telephone, and fiber optic within the project limits. Page 57 of 90 Feasibility Report Kensington East Street Improvements Page 17 Project No. 202506 PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS Roadway Rehabilitation Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle and Winthrop Court The rehabilitation of Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle, and Winthrop Court require a 7-ton street design to meet the City’s Street Rehabilitation Policy. Proposed improvements for these streets will include the reclamation of the existing bituminous roadway and the placing of a 2.5” bituminous base course and a 1.5” bituminous wear course over the reclaimed pavement material. By using the reclaimed pavement material as a base, there is a cost savings and structural benefit to using the recycled material versus importing a new aggregate base material. This method should rehabilitate the streets to a like new condition and provide a 20–30-year pavement life which can be further extended with proper preventative maintenance. See Appendix A for project area. See Appendix C for the rehabilitation typical section. Any damaged concrete curb and gutter along these streets will also be replaced as part of the roadway restoration. Driveways that may be disturbed due to the street rehabilitation will be replaced in kind based on disturbance limits. Disturbed boulevard areas will be restored with topsoil and sod. The existing right-of-way is 55 feet wide with an additional 10 feet drainage and utility easement beyond the right-of-way throughout the project. No additional right-of-ways acquisitions are anticipated with this project. Water Main As previously identified, SPRWS has recommended maintenance operations for the existing ductile iron water main pipe on Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle and Winthrop Court. This includes fire hydrant inspections and/or replacements, gate valve replacement, and cathodic protection installed throughout the project to prolong the life of the existing 6” ductile iron pipe. Storm Sewer As previously identified, the overall existing storm sewer is in satisfactory condition. Drainage deficiencies have been identified, and storm sewer improvements are needed at the intersections of Morson Court at Mendota Heights Road, and Winthrop Court at Mendota Heights Road. The existing catch basins and storm sewer shall be relocated to both improve drainage within the intersections & to allow for ADA requirements to be met with the proposed pedestrian ramp improvements on Mendota Heights Road at these intersections. All remaining storm sewer castings within the project area will be reset to proper grade, including HDPE ring replacement. Additional storm water improvements including, but not limited to, rain gardens will be considered on an individual basis, based upon homeowner interest and storm water design feasibility after the Informational Meeting scheduled on May 1, 2025. Page 58 of 90 Feasibility Report Kensington East Street Improvements Page 18 Project No. 202506 Trail and Pedestrian Crossing Improvements As part of the Kensington East Street Improvements project, ten (10) existing pedestrian ramps are proposed to be updated to current 2024 ADA standards. Private Utilities At the time of this feasibility report, no privately-owned utility companies have indicated they will be making improvements to their distribution networks in conjunction with the proposed street improvements for the Kensington East Street Improvement project. All privately-owned utility companies shall be invited to a pre-project utility meeting to further discuss existing and proposed conditions along with potential improvements. Funding Per the City’s Street Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Policy, it is proposed that the benefiting property owners will be assessed for the street rehabilitation. The property tax levy will be used to finance the City’s portion of the street rehabilitation. Storm sewer, sanitary sewer, and water main improvements will be funded through their respective utility accounts. Feasibility From an engineering standpoint, this project is necessary, cost-effective, feasible and can be accomplished as proposed. FUNDING SOURCES AND SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS The area proposed to be assessed is every lot, piece, and parcel within the city limits benefiting from said improvement, whether abutting or not, within the following described areas: Abbey Way, Canton Court, Haverton Circle, Haverton Road, Morson Circle, and Winthrop Court Specific property descriptions included in the above-described area, but not inclusive, are as follows: Kensington PUD Additions Three (3), Four (4), and Five (5) The roadway improvement costs can be assessed on a unit basis to the benefiting properties as per the Street Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Policy adopted by the City council on June 16, 1992.

Geotechnical Evaluation Report Page 85 of 90 9.b REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: April 1, 2025 AGENDA ITEM: Change Order for Ivy Hills Basketball Court as Part of Emerson Avenue Street Improvements Project ITEM TYPE: New and Unfinished Business DEPARTMENT: Engineering CONTACT: Lucas Ritchie, Assistant City Engineer Meredith Lawrence, Parks and Recreation/Assistant Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek, Public Works Director ACTION REQUEST: Approve a Change Order to construct basketball court within Ivy Hills Park as part of the Emerson Avenue Street Improvements BACKGROUND: Previously discussed at the Parks and Recreation Commission meetings held on July 9, 2024, and March 11, 2025, excess soil material generated with the adjacent Emerson Avenue Street Improvements project required a location to stockpile the reclaimed material which was ultimately determined to be located over and adjacent to the existing half-court basketball court (47 feet x 39 feet) within Ivy Hills Park. The location was determined due to the activities planned for the park and the need for the existing parking stalls not to be inundated during construction; however, it served the dual purpose of utilizing the excess material and disturbed area to include improvements to the basketball court. Excess material generated was graded and compacted by the project's contractor and left in the low area of the park at no cost to the City, allowing for a suitable base for a future park improvement. Staff are proposing to utilize the graded space to increase the size of the existing basketball court from half-court to full court. Additional storm sewer was installed with the grading activities to allow for proper drainage due to the change in elevations from the fill material and general feedback of drainage concerns within the area and adjacent baseball field within the park. The Parks and Recreation Commission reviewed the layout and options at their March 11, Page 86 of 90 2025, meeting and recommended City Council approve the use of funds to construct a full- size basketball court in the east-west orientation and include additional striping within the court boundaries to provide hopscotch and four-square amenities for alternative uses. FISCAL AND RESOURCE IMPACT: A sizable portion of the soil material costs were considered incidental to the stock piling activities relating to the Emerson Avenue Improvements project. Staff have requested pricing to install the concrete pad improvement which is not included in the project cost or considered an incidental cost. The estimated construction cost for the concrete pad allowing for a full-size basketball court (80 feet x 48 feet) is approximately $33,850. The funding sources for the concrete pad are split between the Special Park Fund and the Storm Sewer Utility Fund. The expansion of the existing half-court basketball court to a full court would result in an increase of 209% of the existing courts’ square footage with 52.3% of the project cost being eligible for Special Park Fund as an expansion allowing up to an estimated $17,691 to be used from this fund. The remaining $16,159, or any additional costs within reason, is proposed to be funded through the Storm Sewer Utility Fund, of which has available funding, due to the grading and drainage improvements provided to the area.

When building the basketball court, it is so important that the drainage of the water runs off the court. We do not want one or two corners to have water pooling on the court. The area where the basketball court is going is a very low lying area. There is lots of water that pools in this area and makes the grass swampy even in the month of August. Please make sure the water is running away from the parking lot, off the court, and down into the gully along the border of the park. We do not want the water going towards the town homes where the path is located to walk through the park. There is a stream under the tennis courts, the parking lot, and down the path into the park. Please make this part of the plan so the kids do not get their basketball all muddy from the water pooling and more mosquitoes are being hatched. Thank you for reading this input. I vote no lights to be put up because we want people to go home and not stay late into the night playing basketball. We look forward to seeing a nice basketball court put in place in the park.

Page 89 of 90 From:Rappathd To:Meredith Lawrence Subject:Full Court Basketball Plan at Ivy Falls Park Date:Wednesday, February 26, 2025 4:56:47 PM Hello Meredith, I am writing this letter as a follow-up on the notice of the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting on March 11 when they will discuss the proposed full-court basketball plan at Ivy Falls Park. Ivy Falls Park has always been a neighborhood park and not a destination park. The children in our associations and the neighborhood children use the park with their families and friends. They use the play area, ballfield, tennis courts and basketball hoop. The members of our HOA do not support expanding the existing basketball court to include two hoops because of the proximity of the court to the neighbors in the townhouses and nearby homes. There are many opportunities in the district schools and the other parks for the children in our community to enjoy full court basketball. Thank you for considering the input from our HOA.
