"'''<4 >7116 ~Af!t"nj.~ 1-) AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE 2002.2003 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM RELATING TO A SKATE / BMX PARK. DISCUSSION: History: For some years, the City has adopted a five-year Capital Improvement Program. The purpose of the program is to act as the City's primary financial planning tool for capital projects to be undertaken in the next five years. To keep the document up-to-date, the Council adopts a new program in late May of each year. ISSUES: Current Circumstances: Attached are two summary pages from the 2002-2006 Capital Improvement Program. The summary pages presently show the construction of a Skate/BMX park slated for 2003. The total anticipated cost of such a facility is expected to be $25,000. This corresponds with the $25,000 gifted to the City by the Prior Lake Optimists Club. Conclusion: The Council should determine if the construction of the Skate/BMX park should be moved from 2003 to 2002. Over the last two years, I have received a considerable number of written and oral inquiries regarding the City's intent to build a Skate/BMX facility. The inquiries have come both from parents and youth. It appears that Councilmembers have received similar questions as they have inquired to me from time to time about the construction plans. I have also received concerns from Downtown business owners about skateboarders using public sidewalks, parking lots, steps and hand rails for skateboarding purposes. We have also observed a considerable amount of damage at Lakefront Park from skateboarders who use hand rails, steps, sidewalks and benches. I believe that the justification exists to move the construction of the Skate/BMX park from 2003 to 2002 by amending the Capital Improvement Program. In addition to moving up the construction schedule, I recommend that the City Council set some parameters for planning of the Skate/BMX park. The following issues should be addressed: 1. Cost: $25,000 was earmarked for this facility. This equals the Optimist contribution. The Council may wish to consider making a matching contribution so the facility planning could contemplate a $50,000 total expenditure. 16200 Eagle Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph.

The site should be central to most potential users and accessible by trail or sidewalk. The site should also be readily supervised by police officers and other City personnel. Finally, the site location criteria should also consider how much money will be required to make the site ready for the park. Every dollar invested in site preparation is one less available for the equipment. 3. Tier: An evaluation of whether equipment should be Tier I or Tier II or both should be included based upon the clientele that the park is intended to serve. 4. Supervision Costs: An evaluation of costs to supervise and insure the facility should also be included. 5. Cooperation: Consideration should be given to whether or not this effort can be conducted all or in part with the cooperation of other parties, such as the School District, other service organizations, or the City of Savage. 6. User Input: The Council should require that the likely users of the facility be integrally involved in the planning of the facility and the regulations associated with its operation. It should be a forgone conclusion that if the park is built, skateboarders, in-line skaters and BMX users will use the park, rather than damage other park property not intended for such usage. 7. Timeline: The Council should determine the acceptable time period within which a final recommendation is desired recognizing that installation would not occur for at least six weeks after the equipment is ordered. ALTERNATIVES: (1) Amend the 2002-2006 Capital Improvement Program to move the Skate Park facility from 2003 to 2002. (2) Direct the staff and Park Advisory Committee to complete the planning process for the facility subject to the suggestions contained in this memo or as amended by the City Council. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Both Alternatives (1) and (2). I:\COUNCIL \AGNRPTS\2002\SKA TE PARKDOC i.'.....-......... ',.'.-" .,c'.'
