Results of Special Park and Recreation Commission Meeting
On Wednesday, May 14,2008, the Chanhassen Park and Recreation
Commission met at 7:30 p.m. in a special session to discuss a proposal to partner
with School District 112 on construction of new baseball/softball stadium. All
commissioners were present for the meeting; however, Chairman Daniels
excused himself at 8: 10 p.m. in order to fulfill a coaching obligation. Four
residents were in attendance including Dick Mingo, Pete Voas, Mike Funk and
Lyndell Frey.
Upon calling the meeting to order, Chairman Daniels requested that I present the
staff report for this item. Upon conclusion of my report, Chair Daniels
requested that commissioners offer their opening comments on the proposal.
Members voiced a mixture of viewpoints. In general, the commission expressed
their gratitude for the existing joint partnerships with the school district and
wished to thank them for bringing another potential partnership to our attention.
A good deal of discussion centered on the topic of whether the perceived
benefits from making a $600,000 investment in the facility are worth the
expense. In addition, commissioners discussed at some length the idea of
investing this money in other projects that may offer more "direct" recreation
benefits to our residents.
Upon completion of opening comments, the commission called for input from
audience members. Residents voiced support of investing in additional ball
fields in the community, but generally did not support the proposal to do so at
this location. Reasons cited included the introduction of additional lights and
activities into an already actively programmed site, the inability to use alcohol
and tobacco products at this location, and the notion that these dollars could be
better used to serve the overall athletic facility needs in the community.
Upon closing the public input portion of the meeting, commissioners discussed
the proposal further with Vice Chair Kelly, calling for a motion to support
staff's recommendation at approximately 9:10 p.m. No motion was made. A
number of alternative motions were discussed, but none resulted in a motion
being made. The meeting was adjourned at approximately 9: 15 p.m.

Proposal to Invest Park Dedication Funds in Baseball/Softball
Stadium at the new Chanhassen High School
On November 7, 2006, School District 112 voters approved a referendum to
construct a new $90 million high school. This school, now named "Chanhassen
High School," is being constructed on a $10 million parcel of land located north
of the intersection of Lyman Boulevard and Audubon Road. The 405,000 sq. ft.
facility is scheduled to open its doors to students in September of 2009. The
school will house 2000 students when full. The City is fortunate to see this level
of investment in what will become one of the most identifiable public facilities
in our community.
In addition to the school building, the development of a high school campus
features a variety of athletic facilities. This campus will include tennis courts,
soccer fields, softball fields, a baseball field, football stadium, and track. The
original bid package for the project included a standard baseball and softball
field for varsity and junior varsity games and practices. The District is now
proposing, and has solicited quotes for, the construction of a combination
baseball/softball stadium featuring covered seating, a concession building and
lighting.
The bids for the stadium as designed are higher than the resources the district
has available to invest in the facility. As a means of reducing project costs,
district administrators are considering eliminating the stadium seating, roof and
lighting with the hope that these amenities could be added at a later time.
However, prior to proposing these modifications to the school board, they
contacted us to inquire if the City would have any interest in investing in the
stadium project. The district is aware that as a community we have been
involved in conversation and debate over the merits of bringing town baseball
and a town baseball field back to Chanhassen.
Past conversations have centered on the conversion of an existing field into a
stadium field at either Lake Susan Park or Lake Ann Park. These proposals
warrant consideration; however, both would require significant alterations to the
existing on-site facilities. A Lake Ann Park Stadium would require the
elimination of field #1 and the soccer field to accommodate the construction of a

stadium field, associated buildings and parking lots. A Lake Susan Park
proposal would require the elimination of the tennis courts, archery range and
reservation picnic program. These proposals would also require that the city
invest millions of dollars in demolition and construction costs in addition to
being responsible for the maintenance and management of the new stadium.
Through a partnership with the District, the community will become home to a
functional and attractive baseball/softball stadium capable of hosting "town
ball" leagues, in addition to high school sports, while avoiding the need to build
a facility on our own. The proposal, invest $600,000 in a $2.6 million stadium
on the Chanhassen High School property to avoid the elimination of stadium
seating, the roof, and lighting from the plan. These dollars would be allocated
from the city's park dedication fund. This fund has generated an average of
$817,000 per year over the past seven years. The balance in the park dedication
fund at the end of 2007 was $3,588,000. In the event the commission elects to
make a positive recommendation to the City Council regarding this proposal,
and they support it, you will need to modify the Park and Trail Development and
Acquisition 5-Year Capital Improvement Program for years 2008 through 2012.
RECOMMENDA TION
It is recommended that the Park and Recreation Commission recommend the
City Council approve the investment of $600,000 in park dedication funds in the
new baseball/softball stadium at the Chanhassen High School. This investment
is to be governed by an agreement drafted by the City Manager and School
Superintendent that will be submitted to the Chanhassen City Council and
Independent District 112 School Board for final approval.

Commission to consider
town ball proposal May 14
By Jeff Daniel
"The year was 1947; Reuben Bon-
gard organizes the Chanhassen Red
Birds. First they needed a field. Bon-
gard drafted Ron Roeser, Bob Meuwis-
sen, Tom KeIrn and others to clear the
land north of the church."
Memories of the Red Birds, a town
baseball team, and what they meant
to the community remain fresh 60
years later.
"Old timers remember Sunday af-
ternoon games played against Carver,
Cologne, Chaska and Victoria. A
thousand people showed up for games,
more for playoffs. The town caught Red
Bird fever."
Over the years and more recently,
community members and baseball
fans have discussed bringing the Red
Birds back to life. But, like 1947, we
need a field. With the construction
of a new high school under way and
plans to construct a "real" stadium,
the opportunity to bring town baseball
back to Chanhassen can be a reality.
Recently, city representatives have
discussed a possible partnership with
School District 112 to build a baseball
and softball stadium at the new Chan.
hassen High School.
These fields will be used for high
school sports, but, by adding spe-
cific amenities, could be home to town
baseball and softball programs. The
proposal, invest $600,000 in park dedi-
cation funds to add a covered stadium
and lights to the new baseball and
softball fields at the high school. Park
dedication dollars are collected from
all new developments in town and
must be invested back into the com-
munity to build park and recreation
amenities.
Recent projects completed using
this fund include the construction of

COMMENTARY
City Center Park, new playgrounds at
Lake Ann Park, Lake Susan Park and
Bandimere Park in addition to replac-
ing outdated playgrounds in seven
neighborhood parks. Trail projects
recently completed include the Bluff
Creek Trail, Power Hill Park Trail
and the Highway 41 Connector Trail.
More trail projects are planned: The
Chanhassen Nature Preserve Trail,
Highway 41 Trail and Underpass, Pio-
neer Trail "Gap", Bluff Creek Drive
Trail Extension, and Highway 101
North Extension.
The "Park Fund" has collected an
average of $817,000 each year over
the past seven years. The current
fund balance is $3,588,000. At 7:30
p.m. Wednesday, May 14, the Park and
Recreation Commission will meet in
a special session in the City Council
chambers to take public comment and
discuss the proposal to invest in the
new baseball and softball stadium.
Upon conclusion of our meeting that
evening, the commission will forward
a recommendation to the City Council
for consideration on May 27.
We encourage and welcome public
comment on this proposal. In the event
you would like to comment and can-
not attend next Wednesday's meeting,
please forward your comments to Park

On Friday, the Nordic Heri-

"In those days they would do
a lot of Swinglish- speaking (a
mix of) Swedish (and) English-
in their vaudeville shows," said
Spargo. "And then, later on, Ole
and Lena would be making fun
of the accents, and that was
probably when the immigrant
children no longer could speak
Swedish."
Language mistakes are a
frequent source of Ole and
Lena joke material. Turning
the misunderstandings and
mistakes into jokes perpetu-
ated the Swedish-American
traditions.
Elise Peters, executive di-
rector of the Swedish Council
in Minneapolis, said that one
would not find Ole and Lena
jokes in Sweden or Norway, and
likened it more to an immigrant
tradition.
It's a tradition that lives on,
