APPROVAL OF MINUTES:Carron moved, Thunberg seconded to approve the Verbatim and Summary Minutes of the Park and Recreation Commission meeting dated November 26, 2013 as presented. REVIEW PROPOSED CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE-PIONEER PASS PARK. Hoffman: Thank you Chair Kelly, members of the commission. This is not new information. We did go over this just about 12 months ago I believe it was but since the timing is now, into the second phase of the construction at Pioneer Pass Park I wanted to bring it back to your attention to refresh everyone’s memories on where we’re going from here. Pioneer Pass Park was really put to bed in a dormant seed state so it was final construction with all of the different amenities put in as far as athletic fields and the trails, the parking lots. The trees were installed and then it was seeded, fertilized and then hydro mulched and so the seed will now start growing in the spring. To finish off the park we need to grow that grass and then install the playgrounds and the shelter. In the spring the park, the trails are being plowed this winter so people have access to the park and so that’s where we’re at. We’re going to take the same kind of an agenda, the same kind of a plan of action that we did over at Riley Ridge Park. Bring the neighbors in in January and have an organizational meeting so we’ll send out, this will be about 500 mailings and so we should have quite a large group here on, in our January meeting. We’ll have a short presentation about the history of the park. How it was developed. How it was financed. Educate the neighbors and then talk about the process to install the playgrounds. Once they get into their neighborhood setting, we’re going to give them the option to do this as a complete design build and so there’s two, really two Park and Recreation Commission – December 10, 2013 ways we do that. One, we have our staff involved and they do much of the labor but with this size of a neighborhood, if they want to do all the labor, the playground representatives are glad to do that as well. And then they’re the ones that bring the Bobcat. The playground representatives and they work, typically then like a 5 night shift and so they would work Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday type thing to finish off but that’s up to the neighborhood to see how they want to do it. The budget numbers are here so approximately $60,000 for the playgrounds. $10,000 for concrete and then $20,000 for the park shelter. We’ll likely build the park shelter ourselves at that kind of a budget again and then the playgrounds, there probably will be room for a Phase II type of structure and so we’re doing a 5 through 12 on the large side and then a 3 to 5 playground on the other side so at that level of budget there’ll be room I think in that container for some future amenities. Maybe a free standing type of a product into the future as well. So that’s the schedule. Hoping to get this built and in in July. June or July. Likely June if we can. If the grass grows good. If we get a speedier spring than we did this past spring I think we can meet that, meet that schedule. So with that I’ll be glad to answer any questions we have from commission members about that schedule or any other part of the process. Kelly: Luke, since this is practically your personal park do you want to start with any questions or comments? Thunberg: Couple comments I think. One for plowing it. I’ve seen a handful of people, even in this weather, out there walking. Walking their dog and using the park so I think that’s nice that the City’s doing that. And I think you’re spot on. I would anticipate a pretty large attendance in response. I know just from our development on our side, there’s a lot of people that are involved whether it’s with the association or whatever so I would anticipate a lot of people coming so it should be good. If there’s anything specifically you need to help move these first you know January-February meetings along please let me know. Hoffman: I will. Thunberg: So I can help spread that word and help organize whatever we need to do. Hoffman: Great, thank you. Kelly: Other questions for Todd? Scharfenberg: Todd other than the court and the parking lot and the trails, is anything else in? Is there like a backstop? Hoffman: Backstop is in and done. Scharfenberg: Okay. Hoffman: Aggregate infield is in and done. Just need to add the basketball hoops. There’s two. We expanded that court to accommodate a hoop on both ends and the bleachers or the dugout seats did not go in. They’ll go in in the spring but everything else is there. At least I don’t think the benches are in there. Thunberg: The benches for teams… Hoffman: Are in there? Yep, yeah. So the benches are in. So we’ll take it from that. A pick-up. We have a pick-up. No, come on in. Take care. Kelly: Todd, do we typically send out invitations about 3 weeks beforehand? 2 Park and Recreation Commission – December 10, 2013 Hoffman: Just after the first of the year, yep. Kelly: Okay. So we’re planning on the January meeting? Hoffman: January meeting. Kelly: Okay. Hoffman: As an organizational meeting and go through the process and line up some neighborhood captains and. Then their first meeting they talk about what they want to see in their playground and we get that type of information and then send out the RFP to the various playground representatives. I think it was 6 last time. We may get that down to 4. There’s really 4 that are always very competitive so we’ll take a look at that when the time comes. Kelly: Great, any other questions? Thunberg: I just have one quick one. So the January they’re invited to our meeting here. Hoffman: Correct. Thunberg: The February one, is that, are we also able to use this facility or? Hoffman: We are. Thunberg: We get talk of having it at a house but if there’s that many people potentially, I didn’t know if we could possibly have it here as well. Hoffman: We could use the Rec Center, this room or the Senior Center. Yep, any one of those locations. Kelly: Great, thank you Todd. Hoffman: You’re welcome. Thank you. Kelly: Somehow I lost H(1). But, oh I’m sorry. Yeah, we do need to make a motion. Carron: Then I’ll make a motion. That the commission confirm the construction schedule at Pioneer Pass Park per staff’s recommendations. Kelly: Is there a second? Boettcher: Second. Carron moved, Boettcher seconded that the Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission confirms the construction schedule for Pioneer Pass Park and directs staff to move forward with construction planning, neighborhood meetings and City Council approvals as required. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 7 to 0. RECREATION PROGRAMS: TREE LIGHTING CEREMONY EVALUATION. Kelly: I think Jerry, you must be talking about that tonight. 3 Park and Recreation Commission – December 10, 2013 Ruegemer: Thank you Chair Kelly. I will be handling that item tonight. Thanks Chair Kelly for being present on Saturday night and braving the cold weather. Santa was quick on Friday night, or Saturday night and arrived by fire truck, along with Mark Halla from Mustard Seed brought one of his reindeer down again for that. That’s always a really kind of a crowd favorite with the people attending. There was really not many long lines at all for getting candy canes from Santa Claus so we really tried to kind of abbreviate the night since it was you know kind of a frigid night. The park maintenance crew had two really nice bonfires going. We started those early so they’d be kind of ripping and ready to go for the people and a lot of people kind of took advantage of that and kind of huddled around the warm fire. Southwest Metro Chamber was down there cooking out s’mores and passing those out. They worked in conjunction with Buy Chanhassen who provided that drinks and the cookies for the event so they seem like they’re starting a nice partnership with the two groups and kind of assisting with our events as well so all in all everything went very well. The crowd was down, as to be expected with the weather so we probably estimated about 100-150 approximately, and that’s down from probably about 300-400 in the past so it was a different night. We had carolers from Lutheran Church of the Living Christ there again this year and kind of had a nice, festive atmosphere to it. Mayor Furlong gave a nice speech and kind of kicked off the holiday season with that and then kind of the yellow ribbon committee, some members from that flipped the switch to turn the lights on for the season so all in all a great event. It seemed like it’d be a nice tradition that is continuing to be strong in our community so we’re obviously going to continue it next year and it’s been a fun event. The tree seems to be getting bigger every year on that corner so Adam’s crew needs to probably purchase some additional lights from Target at the tail end of the season here to keep stringing up enough so the park really looks beautiful when it’s all lit up and it’s really amazing how just flip the switch and boom. The whole park comes on so great event so just wanted to give everybody a little bit of an update. Looks like there’ll be some press this week. I talked to Mr. Crawford, the editor of the Villager today to kind of finalize some details of the event so it looks like there’ll be some press this week for that event so, anybody have any questions? Kelly: Santa did show up on top of the fire truck with full lights and sounds so the kids really like that. It was a great event Jerry. Thank you. Ruegemer: Thank you. RECREATION CENTER REPORT. Kelly: Well let’s move on to Jodi. Sarles: Thank you Chair Kelly and commissioners. Greetings from the Rec Center. It seems like the cold may have kept people out from the tree lighting but they’re certainly coming into the Rec Center now. A few updates. We’re happy and we’re excited…getting two outdoor lights. If you’ve been out there recently, the Rec Center gets pretty dark at night. Oh, oops. Not on. So it gets very dark so the three entrance lights, we’re going to have three entrance lights along that entry sidewalk that will help illuminate things at night. Make it a little bit safer for staff too when they’re coming and going out of the building, especially this time of year so. And in the summer when they redid the sidewalk they put in the wiring and now they’ve poured all the cement for the poles and everything so that should be coming shortly. Few program updates here. We are already into the winter session of dance. It started last week. We’ve got a variety of classes. A couple new ones we started this session were the parent taught class and the adult jazz is on now so we basically go from 18 months to 3 years old in that parent taught class so we have right now I think a handful of moms and their kids coming in on Monday mornings and kind of learning to dance and move to music so it’s kind of a fun class to go in and watch so. We’ll have a winter showcase again. That will be coming in January. You’re more than welcome to attend. I believe the show times are 1:45 and 3:45 so we’ll have, we’ve got about 190 dancers so it should be a fun day at 4 Park and Recreation Commission – December 10, 2013 the Rec Center for them for their first time out on dancing in front of people so. And this fall we started a relationship with the Timberwolves for a basketball clinic so we did an MEA clinic out there. 37 area youth came out to work on their skills with the Steve Brown who’s their Director of Timberwolves Basketball Academy so he came out and brought some instructors from the Wolves so it was kind of fun to see those kids play and advance a little bit that day. They were ages, I believe they were grades 3 through 12 so anybody can come up for that one. I’m happy, sad to announce we lost another Rec Sports Coordinator. Our intern Miranda Hopp, she left us here so we were without a coordinator for a few weeks and we hired today, it was Logan Godfreid’s new, he started today so he will be our new Rec Sports Coordinator. He’s a Mankato grad. He last worked at Orono Community Ed so as he started today at 9:00 and at 10:00 we threw him to the wolves and started playing golf with 3 and 4 year olds in the gym so. So between chasing down the kids so they weren’t swinging their golf clubs at each other, he did a great job so. But yeah, the sports program’s going nuts right now and it’s great. It’s fantastic to see. We’ve had full sessions of almost all the Small Fry sports now. We’ve tried to expand in the fall to add more sessions. Worked with the school to get their gym one night so that’s been fun for that program. The Lil Star Sports is always good too. So right now, I think when I counted the numbers for the year our total numbers, or we have over 187 participants more in 2013 than we did in 2012 so it was a great nd increase for our group here. It seems like it’s been a while but on November 2 we had our Artisan Fair. We had about 30, I think there was 38 artists selling. It was probably our biggest event yet. I’d say we were over 800 people came to wander through and all the vendors were very happy with the crowds that day. It’s conveniently ties to one of the CAA picture days at the Rec Center too so the kids are waiting, or getting pictures and the parents are kind of going through the Rec Center too but just, it tends to be a big weekend for people that are looking at craft fairs. There’s a bunch of them in the area so they kind of bounce from one to the next and so it’s been fun and we co-marketed with a few other events so they left their flyers. We left their’s here so that was a good addition to that. One interesting thing is our enhance fitness program that we’ve had going for about 4 years now, UCare has decided to discontinue that program so right now we were going to start our own in-house program in January and call it Fit for Life. Our same instructor is going to be running the program for us so it’ll be a nice, easy transition there but just a little bit different how, now everybody has to pay. UCare used to pay for all there, or you could come at no charge if you were a UCare person so. So but we didn’t want to discontinue that one. That’s just such a great program to see those people working out and running around and he’s got them running. Throwing balls at each other so it’s actually, it’s pretty fun to watch them. Zumba’s probably our most popular adult fitness class. 38 participants in the two sessions. They squeeze as many people as they can into our studio and they have a great time and that is every Wednesday night. And then a couple things, our punch card sale is on right now so if you’re looking for a Rec Center punch card, this is our sale of the year. If you buy a 40 punch you get a 10 punch free. It’s been very popular. A lot of people waiting for it so it tends to be the big sale where they buy all their punch cards for the year so. And then we talked about the winter showcase so that’s about all that’s going on at the Rec Center right now. Lots of things going on. Kelly: That’s all? Sarles: That’s all. I know, we just keep running. Kelly: Questions for Jodi? I’ve got to say I was talking with Jodi at the holiday party and on the slides were going on and all of a sudden the dancers came up and she goes there’s my dancers. You could tell she’s very proud of her dancers and Jodi it’s a testament, especially having 187 more Little Fry coming that you guys are putting on great programs. Thank you for everything. Sarles: Great, thank you. 5 Park and Recreation Commission – December 10, 2013 Hoffman: Can I ask Jodi, if there are no other questions. Just to share, Jodi can you share the dance recital, how you negotiated that with the school and… There’s been some billing discrepancies high and low. Mostly high… Sarles: Yeah we’ve been, this year the dance recital, I think they increased our fee for 2013 about $2,000 over last year and so when it went from this year to 2014, booking that time I think they were going to charge us an additional $2,000 for next year and so I’ve been working with the school district and I think they’ve got different hands in the pots these days. Different people that I’m not familiar with and other people that we’ve worked with in the past and had a relationship with before once we first started it there were no longer kind of stepping in. So when I got the first estimate for the dance recital it was going to be over, I mean we would have to charge about $30 to $35 a ticket just to break even on that event, or on that day just to pay for the space. So a number of conversations back and forth. Emails back and forth. You know trying, it’s been since about July that I’ve been working on this and finally they came back and we have a contract through let’s see, 2019 and they reduced all of our fees and kind of locked us in at a better rate so we’ll stay to closer what we were at 2 years ago instead of this year so. So it’s been a trying at times and we’ve been you know patiently waiting for responses we’ll just say. We don’t always work on the same timeline so, but it’s been a good relationship and with Community Ed so we’ll continue that. We initially were looking at alternative spaces but we stayed where we’re at and we’re happy with that location too so. Scharfenberg: I take it this is renting the high school. Sarles: Auditorium, yes. Scharfenberg: Do they give you any indication Jodi in talking to them why they were jacking up the rates so much? Sarles: Well they have categories for each user and dance studios in May reach the highest category for their event user fees and so you know they told me I could have a recital in either early April or late June and I could basically almost get it at cost but you know you just can’t run a program and get kids on the stage by those times and so they lowered, or they changed our category for us. Kind of, you know I think we’re in a category 4 studio or something so, I know that we’ve talked with other studios and they actually can charge up to $20,000 for that event over the weekend so fortunately our’s is nowhere near that. We’re closer to about $5,500 now but yeah, it’s the demand for their space and so if they have demand they can fill it with a different studio and that’s kind of the leverage they put on us. Saying well we can’t lose money on our space and so it’s, it’s always interesting. We try to keep that relationship good. They use plenty of hours at the Rec Center and our fields and everything like that so, just to make sure they kind of understand where we are and what we’ve helped them out with and how they can help us as well. Hoffman: And what are your ticket prices now? Sarles: I think we’re at $9 a ticket so which, yeah. Hoffman: Which is affordable. Sarles: It’s one of those things where we don’t want to raise it. You don’t want it to be a burden on the family. You want people’s grandparents and sisters and brothers to come so, so I don’t think we could increase it any more. Ryan: Well they chose…reason as well. They didn’t want to pay the high dollar for studios. 6 Park and Recreation Commission – December 10, 2013 Sarles: Studios fees, right. Ryan: …nice job negotiating… Sarles: Yeah, thank you. And we didn’t want to charge, you know there are some studios that will charge a recital fee just for the child to participate in the recital on top of the ticket fees and on top of so it was just you know, didn’t want to add any more fees. They pay a lot of money over the year for their dance and between costumes, photos, competitions and if we can keep it as best as we can a community program that’s what we try to do. Kelly: Thank you Jodi. SENIOR CENTER REPORT. Kelly: Sue, I believe you’re on deck. Or you’re actually at the batting cage. Bill: Well both of those sound pretty cold to me tonight so, but I’ll be in the chair. Well that’s a hard act to follow Jodi but thank you. Jodi does a great job and it’s always wonderful to work together on some of the joint programs we do. I think we really compliment each other and have some fun doing it too. Got a little change of what I’m going to talk about tonight. On the report I offered all the free programs that we’ve offered within the last 4 month period. I really try to blend programs that we charge for our special events. Day trips and programs that have a fee but I’m really conscientious of trying to offer health and wellness related activities when I don’t have to pay a speaker or an agency will pay me to come in and market so I’m really proud that we’ve been able to offer an array of events that have really brought in a variety of different people. The first one, well first I want to report too that KleinBank once again for the th 7 year is going to sponsor our Lifelong Learning program. This year the focus is going to be, well last year I focused on military history presentations and this year I’m going to do American and British history with my first one being a presentation on JFK and then our founding fathers and I have a gentleman from Plymouth who is going to do a whole series of 4 presentations on British history so I think that will really attract a variety of people. Second program, we offered one in the spring and it was so popular. Cruising the world of senior housing. Worked with 6 different housing complexes. Two in Chanhassen. Summerwood and Centennial Hill and then two in Chaska and two in Waconia. People actually boarded a bus and went to all six of these different housing units. They, to see an array. One was market rate. One was assisted living with a continuum of care. Summerwood. Nursing home. We went to memory care and every building did a tour. Provided a meal and people were able to see the individual units and on the fall trip we actually had some children who came along with their parents which kind of was the focus because a lot of times they help make those decisions so we had two of those in a year and people enjoyed it, other than they were pretty tired after getting on and off the bus 6 times. But that was wonderful. In the fall Jodi and I and Todd kind of launched it with a presentation. We started a Wednesday walking club. Todd came and talked about the different trails and the opportunities to walk within Chanhassen. I’m happy to report somebody took the lead of it and the group has shrank as the weather has gotten colder but I just got an email. They continue to walk every Wednesday, which his wonderful because I think the winter months are as nice to get out as during the warmer months. Another thing that we offered was called Referendum Round-up. We had the superintendent come to educate people on the referendum and it was interesting. The people that came were thoroughly surprised at the technology and different things that were available in the school that they really weren’t aware of and what the referendum would do, so that was a really, really good meeting. A lot of things were developed out of that. People then wanted to go on a tour of Bluff Creek school and one of the middle schools and the superintendent offered to assist with that where they can do visits of the various schools and see the students actually utilizing technology and he talked about the diversity of programming so I think people 7 Park and Recreation Commission – December 10, 2013 were really educated and really appreciated the superintendent coming. There was also in conjunction with community education called the Tour of the Future where they actually went to some schools and they went back to, I forget the name of the, it’s right by Hazeltine. A building right by Hazeltine and not only Superintendent Bauck but also CEO of Ridgeview, Bob Stevens talked about technology. Superintendent talked about the upgraded technology within the school and Bob Stevens talked about all the health care technologies on the horizon. He got out his Smart Phone and held it to his chest and showed how they can monitor heart rate, pulse, everything just by you know applications on phones and pretty much the new wave of the future so we will look to try to get him to come to a presentation to educate seniors here in Chanhassen and that was really well received. Then just two other things. November is National Alzheimer’s Month and Augustana, Emerald Crest and Memory Care facility did a national memory screening day and we had 35 people come in to have one on one memory screens. I did not participate, or that I remember anyway. But anyway you know a lot of housing is always looking for opportunities for promotion and so there are wonderful opportunities to offer programs that are beneficial to our residents at no cost so those were really, really well received so those are the variety of programs I was able to offer at no cost with no program fees but the most exciting thing about these, every one of these programs brings in new and different participants so they come in once. We hope they will participate and give feedback for future programs. Kelly: Any questions for Sue? Sue, from what I understand your programs are pretty full so you’re doing a lot of wonderful things that are getting people excited and interested in doing. Bill: Yeah. We’re lucky. Kelly: Thank you. Bill: Yep, thank you. PARK AND TRAIL MAINTENANCE: INTRODUCTION OF ADAM BEERS, PARK SUPERINTENDENT. Kelly: Todd, you got an introduction to make for us? Hoffman: Sure do. Chair Kelly, members of the commission. Tonight we formally introduce our new Park Superintendent, Adam Beers. Some of you met him last week. It’s his second day on the job so we’ll let Adam come up and introduce himself and talk about his experience and his family and he can update you on what’s going on in the park maintenance division right now and then just his overall goals for his new career here with the City of Chanhassen. Beers: Just want to thank you guys for having me here and becoming your new park superintendent. This is a dream come true for me and I’m moving forward from my old position as the Assistant Superintendent at Wayzata Country Club. Been there since 2006 so I feel like I’ve put my time in and I’m ready to lead my own department and these guys were fortunate enough to give me that shot and opportunity so I’m excited to be a part of this already great team. I’ve been working with Dean who is our lead worker to try to get up to speed as quick as I can on what’s going on in projects and the guys are st out making ice right now for I think a tentative day of the 21 but kind of sounds like it will be a little earlier than that if all goes well so that’s a little bit about my background as far as work goes. I’m on my third year of marriage. We have tomorrow our son will be 10 months old so we’re, you know going through all the changes of starting our family and everything that goes with that. We live in Hopkins. Been there for about 5 years now and that’s a little bit about myself. You guys have any questions for me as far as? 8 Park and Recreation Commission – December 10, 2013 Kelly: Adam on behalf of the commission I’d like to welcome you to the City of Chanhassen. It was nice that you and your wife were able to make it to the party. It was nice to meet both of you and get a chance to meet you and get to know you a little bit. Any questions for Adam? Adam we’re glad to have you aboard and we look forward to hearing from you again. Beers: Thank you. Carron: We’ll see you for the next 40 years. Beers: Some big shoes to fill. See how it goes. Hoffman: That’s right. UPDATE ON CITY COUNCIL ACTION ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. Kelly: Todd I think we’re onto item H(5). Hoffman: You know we are out flooding and so tonight as I left after work there was a mom and 3 kids that had blocked the flooding truck in and so it was a head to head. They were putting their skates on as the flooding truck was trying to get off the rink and she wasn’t moving until those kids got their skates on so they’re eager to get out there on the ice, even at these temperatures and it will be you know probably not a record setting early year but certainly one of the earliest years once we get these opened up so that’s great to see. Moving on to administrative items. Ryan: Todd real quick, is there an order, a priority order for the rinks you do or do you try to do all of them at the same time? How does that work? Hoffman: They rotate. They flood them all and so they’re flooding throughout the evening and then during the daytime when we have cold enough temperatures and so they’re doing a circuit, a route and throughout, right now we have 4 sites and in the future we’ll have the fifth site with Bandimere so, and then, they do a route and all the rinks come up pretty fast. So everybody in their own particular area or neighborhood would like their rink open and so we don’t set a priority order to them. Ryan: Thank you. Hoffman: Last evening the City Council met for their final meeting of the year and they approved the City’s budget and the CIP. There were some short discussion and a couple of items that they pulled out related to parks and trails are the athletic field lighting. So they support the idea of adding additional athletic field lighting but they want additional information from the commission about whether or not that should go at Lake Susan or if it should be at another location in our community. Or if there should be a larger project. A smaller project and so the council left the dollars in there but they changed the description to athletic field lighting and then staff will work with the commission in the first part of January-February and follow up with some additional information for the council. The second item which they modified was the band shell, or the band shelter for City Center Park. Again not opposed to the project. They just want additional information so they left the dollars in. City Center Park improvements and they want additional information in the first part of the year 2014 about that project as well. Scharfenberg: Did they indicate Todd specifically with the band shell what additional information they were looking for? 9 Park and Recreation Commission – December 10, 2013 Hoffman: Not really. Just more information so we’ll talk about cost and design and durability and you know give them some additional information about. I think they wanted to understand, is there actually going to be other events or you know activities that will utilize the band shell as well so it’s just not for the summer concert series. Kelly: Todd remind us of the dollar amounts they left in? Hoffman: The lighting was at around $175,000 and the shelter, $40,000. Kelly: Thank you. Ryan: And the lighting was for next year? Hoffman: Correct. 2014. Ryan: Are they looking for seeing if the commitment is there from the CAA or just a variety of information? Hoffman: I think both of those things, yes. Kelly: Did the CAA present at either of their last meetings about this to the City Council? Hoffman: They did not. Kelly: They did not, okay. Hoffman: Thank you. And then Jerry will load up the power point. Ready to roll. Ruegemer: Everybody ready? Got TV’s on. Carron: Yep. Ruegemer: Prepare to be bedazzled. Staff showed a power point presentation which was developed for year end celebration. COMMISSION MEMBER COMMITTEE REPORTS. None. COMMISSION MEMBER PRESENTATIONS. None. Carron moved, Thunberg seconded to adjourn the meeting. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 7 to 0. The Park and Recreation Commission meeting was adjourned at 8:05 p.m. Submitted by Todd Hoffman Park and Rec Director Prepared by Nann Opheim 10
