Approve Resolution Accepting $4,000 Carver /Scott Statewide Health
Improvement Program (SHIP) Active Living Incentive Reimbursement
PROPOSED MOTION:
"The city council approves the attached Resolution Accepting $4,000
Carver /Scott Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) Active
Living Incentive Reimbursement."
Approval requires a simple majority vote of the council.
BACKGROUND
The Carver /Scott Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) Team approached
the City of Chanhassen with an offer to provide $10,000 in incentive dollars to support
active living initiatives within our community. All other communities in the county
have previously agreed to participate in this incentive -based active living assessment
program. These dollars are not a grant and the city does not need to enter into any
contractual agreements.
Staff's recommendation is that we invest the $10,000 in the next printing of our park
and trail map. The three steps we will need to complete to secure the dollars include:
1) complete an on -line assessment of our current recreation and fitness amenities
($4,000), 2) complete an action plan to improve our current recreation and fitness
offerings ($3,000), and 3) complete an evaluation ($3,000).
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the city council accept the first of three payments of incentive
dollars from the Carver /Scott Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) in the
amount of $4,000 for active living planning within the community. Staff has
completed the on -line assessment and Carver County has mailed the first incentive
check of $4,000 to the city.

Dear Todd Hoffman,
The Carver -Scott SHIP Team, representing Carver County Public Health and Scott County Public Health, is
excited to be partnering with Chanhassen to support active living initiatives in the community.
Our work together is part of Minnesota's Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP), which seeks to
create sustainable, systemic changes that make it easier for Minnesotans to incorporate healthy behaviors
into their daily lives. A key component of SHIP includes implementing policies and practices that create active
communities by increasing opportunities for non - motorized transportation and access to community
recreation facilities. Research has shown that people's health is related to both the physical and social
environment in which they live.
As mentioned in our communications, Chanhassen and the Carver -Scott SHIP Team will work together on
conducting an assessment to identify existing active living initiatives and determine what SHIP activities
would be most effective for Chanhassen corresponding to Minnesota Statutes 145.986 - Statewide Health
Improvement Program.
After the city assessment is conducted, we will work together to create an action plan for your city that
outlines activities such as: conducting a walkable community workshop, designing and implementing safe
routes to schools, promoting existing parks, trails and recreational facilities, and planning improved park and
trail maintenance.
I will be sending you an email with a link to the online Self- Administered Assessment tool available from
Wilder Research. Staff from Wilder Research will also be available throughout our work together to evaluate
the success of SHIP activities in your city. Additionally, Carver -Scott SHIP staff will be available to provide
ongoing technical assistance and support.
We have you as Chanhassen's primary point person for SHIP activities and we look forward to working with
you. If there are others we should be including in communications, please let me know.
Once you have completed your city assessment, please complete the attached invoice form and return the
original to Carver County Public Health. Please contact Joy Ahern, Public Health Planner, at 952 - 361 -1357 or
iahern @co.carver.mmus if you have any questions about the invoice. If you have any other questions, please
contact me at 952 - 361 -1349 or tbade@co.carver.mn.us
We look forward to working with you on activities that promote a healthy environment, in which residents
can live, learn, work, and play.
Sincerely,
Tracy Bade, MPH
Carver County Active Living Intervention Implementation Specialist
