PARKS ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES
FOR DECEMBER 13, 2004
AoDroval of the November 8. 2004 Meetina Minutes: Motion by Loose to approve
the November 8, 2004 Meeting Minutes. Second by McFadden. Ayes: 5. Nays: O.
Recreation SUDervisor Resianation: Recreation Supervisor, Chris Esser has given
his resignation to the City effective December 21. He will be pursuing a career as
Director of Parks and Recreation with the City of South St. Paul. The PAC committee
congratulated him and wished him well on his new position.
New Youth Oraanization Liaison members: Chair Feriancek welcomed and
introduced the new Youth Organization Liaison members Mark Schroeder, Prior Lake
Athletics for Youth (P.L.A.Y.) and Scott Martini, Prior Lake-Savage Hockey Association
(PLSHA). Todd Loose will be representing the Prior Lake/Savage Soccer organization.
Items added to December Aaenda: 1) Draft copy of Parks Comprehensive Plan, 2)
CIP Report and 3) Draft of 2005 Goals.
Thomas Rvan Memorial Park Field Liahtina: The C.1. P. report was reviewed
regarding funds allocated for the purchase of land for athletic fields versus the need for
the cost of field lighting at Thomas Ryan Memorial Park. At the November 8 PAC
meeting the PAC members had agreed that land acquisition expenditures would be a
better alternative to spend the estimated amount on rather than expending that amount
on lights. Feriancek had contacted Mark Schroeder to summarize the PAC's discussion
and it was decided to look at the overall picture again. The cost estimated by staff
would be approximately $520,000 for lighting of the four baseball fields at Thomas
Ryan Memorial Park. If land is purchased, the earliest date that fields would be ready
for use would be 2'12-3 years from start to finish. If lighting were installed at Ryan
Memorial Park, the earliest date of completion would be April 2006. Friedges did
indicate that PLAY has contributed a number of improvements to the softball/baseball
facilities throughout the years. After much discussion, it was agreed that Feriancek
would discuss with Frank Boyles how close we are to land acquisition and Mark
Schroeder would meet with the PLAY Board and discuss user fees and what type of
funding commitment they could make.
Advertisina Policv: After some research, Esser has drafted a policy for signage on
field fences and dasher boards. Funding and financing still needs to be established.
Frank Boyles is currently reviewing the draft. The policy will be reviewed by the PAC
for recommendations before policy is finalized. Mark Schroeder will address the PLAY
Board.
Sand Point Beach & Ponds Concession/Restroom Facilities Imorovements: Parks
Supervisor, Friedges updated the committee on the restroom and concession facilities
progress at Sand Point Beach and the Ponds. After his presentation at the City Council
meeting, followed by much discussion, the Council felt that the project at Sand Point
Beach should be put on hold until further research by the architects could be done with
added amenities to the structure. Projected start date would be Fall, 2005. The Ponds
Concession project was approved by the Council and will proceed as planned.
At this time, Friedges reviewed the plan for the Ponds Concession. The existing
concession area will remain in tact housing all the electrical panels and the new
concession area will be added on with two window openings. An additional open air
picnic shelter is proposed for construction in 2005 to provide more picnic area at the
Ponds. At this time there was some discussion about the upgrades to be proposed at
the Sand Point Beach concession building (installing showers and other amenities)
compared to the need for lighting at the ball fields and what would be more beneficial
based upon usage demand. Friedges indicated that he should have new plans and
estimated cost for the Sand Point Beach concession building by February, 2005.
Schroeder would like an ice machine installed at the Ponds to help with injuries, etc.
PLSHA Qoeration at Lakefront Park. Winter 2004-05 Uodate: Parks Supervisor,
Friedges indicated that the reconstruction of the building on the former Kop property for
the PLSHA Zamboni storage is complete. Martini complimented the Parks
Maintenance on the project. Recreation Supervisor, Esser stated that Katie Manders
will be in charge of staffing the warming house and the training of warming house
attendants is complete.
Lakefront Restoration Proiect: Parks Supervisor, Friedges indicated that an
assessment has been done for Lakefront Park by Applied Ecological Services and
Spring Lake Restoration Nurseries for $10,500.00. A grant has paid for 500/0 of the
cost. This is a program to clean out invasive plants throughout the park over a period
of time. Friedges was excited to inform the Committee that this program could be
applied to all parks. He gave the assessment to the PAC to review to better
understand the project.
Boat SliD Policv: Committee discussed the boat slips at Lakefront Park, Watzl's
Beach. This will be part of the agenda at the joint meeting on Monday, December 20th
with the Lake Advisory Committee. The LAC recommendations were reviewed. Issues
that will need to be addressed are signage, reservation policy, liability, enforcement,
etc. McFadden would like the installation of a floating (diving) docks in the swim area
addressed at the joint meeting.
Jeffers Pond Trail Develooment: Friedges showed the committee a map outlining the
proposed five mile trail system at Jeffers Pond. The trail system will interlock with other
trails in the area. McFadden asked what the definition is of a pond vs a lake. This
would be a good question to be addressed to the DNR or the LAC. McFadden asked if
it was necessary for the PAC to be part of the design process. Friedges said he
welcomed and felt that it was important for input from the PAC.
