APPROVAL OF AGENDA: Chairman Boettcher approved the agenda as published.
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Boettcher: Public announcements Jerry?
Ruegemer: No just a thank you for the commissioners who came last night to Todd’s kind of
retirement celebration I guess last night so it was a nice event. Had it out at the City Center
Plaza by the water fountain last night so had a decent amount of people there. We had some
speakers. Mayor Ryan did present Todd with a Key to the City. Proclamation was Todd
Hoffman Day yesterday. A nice framed piece of art from one of the first February Festivals out
at Lake Susan Park so Feb Fest and 4th of July, a lot of those events is obviously really near and
dear to Todd’s heart and his family’s heart so they loved participating. Particular in Feb Fest.
They’re crazy for ice fishing so every dog gone one of them are great fisher people so they love
that event and Todd obviously was really the driving force to starting that event in 1994 so that
was, it was really kind of a cool framed art with the logo and stuff on it and I know that meant a
lot to him. He just wanted to obviously thank all of you for all your support through the years
with projects and policy and all that type of thing so he just was very appreciative of present and
past not only park and rec commissioners, City Council, Mayor type of things. Todd had a
legacy. 33 plus year career with the City. Was instrumental in much of the park development
that happened through whether it be acquisition or new playgrounds, ballfields, trail system. He
had a great vision. Was a great leader for us and our department so he’ll be missed with that so I
just wanted to thank everybody that was able to come out last night and wish him well so, Glenn
Stolar one of our ex-Park and Rec Commission Chairs. He was on the commission from I think
’02 to 2011 I think it was. He was there and had some real nice, kind words to say about Todd
so Todd I know appreciated that as well so just wanted to thank everybody again to come out last
night and it was a beautiful night out. Had some cake and just trying to reflect so it was a nice
event.

Boettcher: Yeah and Jerry was naturally there. I was there. Commissioner Schubert. One of
the other things was the, when the Mayor said it was Todd Hoffman Day I said you know it’s
7:00 in the evening. We’re 19 hours through the day. Maybe you should have told him this at
12:01 a.m. or something like that but it was really, pretty much everybody cried who knows what
a family man Todd is. His wife was there naturally. His four kids and his one sister. I guess she
still lives down…
Ruegemer: Yep.
Boettcher: But there was a lot of tears in the family and I told someone afterward, I said you
know I was tearing up too and he said really. I said yeah I got here and all they had was cake
and no cookies…but it was a really good send off for Todd. Such a great guy. Everything that
he’s done so really enjoyable.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
Boettcher: Alright looks like we have two months worth of Minutes here. Can we do this as one
motion?
Ruegemer: We should probably do separate please.
Boettcher: You want to do separate?
Ruegemer: Yes.
Boettcher: Okay so those of you that looked at it, the May 27th Minutes. Sandy they’re no
longer confusing you with Meredith.
Sweetser: No I think we’re good.
Kutz: I don’t think she was there Jim.
Boettcher: Huh?
Kutz: I don’t think Meredith was there.
Boettcher: That’s what I’m saying. So if no one has any corrections or updates for the May
Minutes can I get a motion to approve?
Tsuchiya: So moved.
Boettcher: Second?

ARBORETUM TRAIL UPDATE.
Boettcher: New Business we have nothing, is that correct?
Ruegemer: That is correct. For this month.
Boettcher: For this month, okay. Old Business, Arboretum trail update. Jerry is this going to be
you?
Ruegemer: Yep we’re doing verbal here. So I just kind of wanted to give the commission an
update. We’ve had a couple pre-con Zoom meetings here the last couple weeks here so kind of
what’s happening right now is this week in particular, here’s the schedule for the week here. Just
got that today so the White Companies is the company that was awarded the bid for the project.
They’re in the process of kind of mobilizing this week so you’ll start to see a lot more activity.
There’s a lot of utility companies that are out there kind of relocating underground utilities and
marking utilities and everything so all that work is going to start here. So they’re going to have
an off site construction site on site. What’s going to happen is they’re going to start on the west
side of the Arboretum itself so kind of in the Chan/Victoria border. Start on that side and then
work their way east okay so, so I know that representatives from the Arboretum and the
construction company did walk through and the alignment is all set to go right now for that.
What’s going to happen is that they’re in the process of mobilizing and getting erosion control
and all that kind of stuff put down so probably in the next couple days there’ll be substantial
clearing of the trail alignment so all that is kind of in the process right now so it will be, it will be
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – July 28, 2020

a long process to get that done. Completion, I think you look on the, it was in the Administration
packet. It looks like it’ll probably be July of 2020, or I’m sorry 2021 will be the completion date
for that right now so it will go in stages with that. It looks like the box culvert going underneath
Highway 41 is probably going to be April-May of next year for that so that will include road
closures on 41 to a certain degree so they’ll kind of do that hopefully as quick as they can with
that but, so we’ll be doing weekly zoom kind of pre-con meetings so today was only like a 20
minute, 25 minutes so it’s just kind of a lot of updating at this point with that. They’ll do kind of
a like 3 week schedule so it’ll be kind of going out with that so I’ll be more than happy to kind of
share that progress with the commission as it comes up. So everybody knows the Arboretum
trail did get approved by City Council with that. Obviously everybody knows, the commission
probably knows that the trail cost exceeded what was in the CIP so the excess is what another
$479,000 above the $1.2 million that was allocated for this project was now the County agreed
then to kind of finance. Give the City essentially a 5 year note on that interest free for that so the
thought is, is that as we have park development that comes in, Avienda, housing, residential
areas, corporate centers, that type of thing, as that money comes in that replenish that CIP fund
and make essentially the payment over the course of the next 5 years so hopefully that will be the
case on that. So that’s kind of thought here. The County has been doing a lot of that you know
kind of carrying the financing portion of a lot of these projects. The Lyman Boulevard road
project. The County’s doing that as well for the City portion of that. The County I believe is
doing also the Arboretum portion of their trail for the Arboretum trail so they seem to be in the,
kind of the holding the funding on that which is fine so then that certainly was, certainly a topic
of conversation on the council level with that but ultimately the council did pass the Arboretum
trail and approve it 4 to 1 so we’re extremely happy. I know Todd was extremely happy. It’s
really a project that’s been on the books for many, many years with that so that’s really an
important corridor along a busy Highway 5. You know you back up and you look at the amount
of entities that are involved in that project with the Arboretum and the State of Minnesota, you
know Life Time Fitness, the County, the City. There’s a lot of people that really had a lot of
cooperative agreements to make that happen and all the really the, the planets were aligned I
guess on this project so it’s really, it’s a feel good. It’s going to, we’re going to have a little
temporary pain with that so really our CIP projects through the course of the next 5 years or so
are going to be pretty non-existent so obviously as a commission we’ll have to get creative on
things that we’re going to be working on. Whether we certainly can look at things that don’t
cost. Look to do in-house maybe for on the maintenance side of the equation. There’s new
programming ideas. New policy that we’re kind of looking to do. Rec Center, Senior Center, up
at City Hall type of thing. Ballfields. We certainly would, it’s time for us to kind of look at our
ballfield allocation policies. That will be something coming down the line here as well so it
gives us an opportunity, I guess I have to try to look at things positively so it gives us an
opportunity to focus on a couple things, some other things that we haven’t been focusing on so.
And hopefully we can still get our park replacement. We can still do some playgrounds and that
sort of things here but that will remain to be seen throughout the course of time here so obviously
with the road funding, with the COVID situation, people just around the state have not been
driving as much so a lot of the gas tax and the revenue generated from that is, was way below
projections so that affected a lot of the road funding that went to fund you know the Lake Lucy
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – July 28, 2020

or Minnewashta project. Lyman Boulevard so you know the City on those type of projects are
over $2 million dollars short on that so. There’s a lot of discussions going at City Hall how we
can balance everything and see through COVID times we saved a lot of money not doing what
we normally do. We saved a ton of money on seasonal wages and program expenses. We
didn’t do the 4th of July by and large so we saved a pretty good chunk of money there so
everybody’s kind of really watching. Making revenue wherever we can type of thing so we’re
going to be okay. Building permits are up. Or they’re doing pretty good so that’s going to kind
of make us a lot better shape than what we thought we were going to be so, so all that kind of ties
into the whole Arboretum trail project and CIP in the future type of thing but super excited about
the Arboretum trail. It’s going to be a lot of work but you can all be very proud of that project
and it’s going to be a fantastic project when it’s all said and done. I know Life Time Fitness is
completely onboard with it so just a lot of people that are always really going the right direction
with people working together and not charging people for right-of-ways and land acquisitions
and that sort of thing here too that Arboretum certainly is looking forward to getting more people
into their area and getting more visitors with that. It took certainly a change of leadership to get
to that point with that so I just want to let everybody know that there is, this is, I’ll get you an
official invitation as well but the groundbreaking ceremony for the Arboretum trail project is
going to be next Tuesday, August 4th. 11:00 a.m. and I’ll shoot you an invitation. I think Marty
Walsh is going to send that out from the County by the next day or two for that so you’re all
invited. Right now I’ll get you more of a formalized invitation here when that becomes available
so 11:00. And I’ll get the Life Time Fitness, kind of between the two corporate buildings out
there right along Highway 5. There’s kind of a break in the parking right there between the two
buildings that kind of butts up to the, along Highway 5 in the berm area so it’ll be kind of right in
that area. Marty is going to include a map and an invitation so I’ll make sure I get that to you
guys so it’s going to be kind of short and sweet but less than an hour so 11:00 to noon roughly on
August 4th so if you guys have some time love to have you there and we’ll kind of go from there
so it’s really kind of the start of it for that so we’re pretty excited about that. It’s going to be a
great trail project for that so.
Boettcher: There was one thing Jerry. It came up at a County Park Commission meeting that the
County even agreed if we needed two additional years on top of the 5 would we get it?
Ruegemer: Those are certainly discussions that are being, a lot of the terms in that conversation
are all kind of, it’s kind of a global, kind of bigger conversation with the Lyman Boulevard road
project so obviously with the County Administrator, Dave Hemze and Heather Johnston our
Interim City Manager, all of our mayors, everybody is kind of, and the County Board,
everybody’s kind of talking about this whole situation of you know what can work for the terms
of that but so I know there has been conversations about if needed but all that would have to be
kind of an updated joint powers agreement in language with that as well.
Boettcher: Any other questions for Jerry?
REPORTS: 2020 4TH OF JULY CELEBRATION EVALUATION.
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – July 28, 2020

Boettcher: Alright let’s go to, right into reports. We have the 2020 4th of July celebration
evaluation. Priya this looks like it’s your’s.
Tandon: Yep, thank you Chair Boettcher and thank you commissioners. So this year’s 4th of
July celebration was the 37th year of the annual event. I know we’ve talked about it a lot but this
year most of the events were either cancelled or held virtually or modified from what is normally
done. Normally there, we estimate there are over 80,000 people enjoying at least one aspect of
the celebration and this year we kind of had to modify that. So just going through what we did
do. June 29th through July 4th, so that was the week proceeding the 4th of July which was on a
Saturday. We had an online Business Expo… It was coordinated by the Southwest Metro
Chamber of Commerce available for people on the website. Advertised on both of our social
media pages for people to kind of enjoy and that was a modification of the typical business expo
that occurs as part of the celebration. And then we also did a virtual chalk it up contest. That’s
another component that normally happens in person but instead participants had the whole week
prior to the 4th to draw their chalk drawings at home. Submit them and it was pretty good in
terms of participation. We had 39 entries which was great and everyone was very excited about
not running and there was a lot of positive feedback on the aspect of the celebration. And the
most of our events happened on Saturday, July 4th. So we had the Chanhassen Farmers Market
which runs every Saturday through October 3rd. Just happened to fall on a Saturday so that was
great this year. Four vendors were present. They have local produce, fresh cut flowers, hand
made goods. Normally at the farmers market there are more like 8 or 9 vendors but I think with
the 4th of July, people being out of town that’s why it was around that 4 number. We also did the
historic plane flyover that the Rotary Club of Chanhassen once again coordinated. That
happened at 2:30 p.m. on July 4th. There were 4 historic World War II airplanes and they started
kind of in southeast Chanhassen. Flew up north. Passed downtown and then looped around
south and they did a few more loops than they’ve done previously just to make it a little bit more
of event for people to enjoy.
Ruegemer: Priya just to Haley, Pete Pemrick, Haley’s dad is very instrumental and responsible
for that whole plane flyover so thank you to Haley and your family for making that happen. I
know it doesn’t always happen but we appreciate your efforts on that so it’s very, very cool. It’s
a great tradition. People love it.
Tandon: Absolutely. Also a lot of positive feedback on that that people were very excited about
it. And just in general the Rotary Club of Chanhassen’s a great partnering organization with
their volunteer support and their financial support so hopefully we’ll be able to continue that in
2021 with the parade and the Taste of Chanhassen and the Beer Garden but still in a modified
form very greatly appreciated. We did do the 2020 fireworks display. It was contracted through
Pyrotechnics Display and was the first year of a three year contract. The display was about 20
minutes and the big thing with this of course was to remain in compliance with the current
Executive Order. Greenwood Shores Park and Lake Ann Park were closed beginning at 5:00
p.m. to spectators. That all went great. At 5:00 p.m. people packed up. Left. Were very, very
respectful. Really no problems at all with that so we were very pleased and impressed that
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – July 28, 2020
7
people you know were so very respectful. Two options were available for viewing the fireworks
virtually. One was through Facebook Live on the City’s Facebook page and one was through the
City website. Very similarly to the way people would view a City Council meeting. On
Facebook Live at it’s high point over 470 Facebook accounts were watching the fireworks
display so that was cool to see. People making use of that. Suggestions for 2021. Of course this
depends on if event limitations exist. If they do people seemed to have positive responses to the
virtual events or the modified events. I think they appreciated making the effort to keep the
tradition and celebration of the 4th of July going even if things had to be modified. We can
consider expanding upon that potentially with the Taste of Chanhassen or modified kiddie parade
or any other ideas of course that the commission may have. And then no event limitations exist.
Continue partnering with the Chanhassen Rotary, the Southwest Metro Chamber of Commerce,
the Chanhassen Villager. All of our partnering organizations and then a few more event logistics
that have been suggested previously. And then attached is then the expense report that shows
unfortunately the no revenue that was brought in and then the expenses that we did incur this
year to run the 4th of July. And that’s pretty much all.
Boettcher: I was watching it live on the Twin Cities website and I was sitting out on the deck so
I’ve got my tablet there and I’m watching the live and then looking at, I’m thinking well those
were green and yellow and white and I’m looking at blues and reds. I finally realized it was
about a one minute delay. The pops weren’t matching up. I mean we’re just over a half a mile
away and I thought what’s going on here and I kept looking at, I was looking at the time of my
watch and thinking oh okay. So I’ll see the yellow and the blue and the green in about, so the
delay and trying to watch both venues. One live and one online but online it was great. I mean
the photography and everything. Getting the close up’s and all it was really good.
Schubert: I would say too the sheriff’s did a really good job. Eric and I were driving home right
as it ended and traffic control, because everyone was parked along West 78th and they did a
really good job with traffic control. I felt like no part got too crazy backed up at any given point
so and there was one blanket and chair set up on the parade ground. I laughed, I saw that and I
giggled.
Ruegemer: Right. I certainly want to thank both Jodi and Priya. People probably don’t know,
Priya was out on the dock, the rental dock at Lake Ann Park bundled up so the mosquitoes
wouldn’t completely eat her alive with the tripod video taping or going Facebook Live at Lake
Ann Park. Jodi was back at city hall. What time did you get there like quarter to 9:00-9:00?
Sarles: Yeah.
Ruegemer: On July 4th at city hall kind of doing the whole Granicus city web page thing so
kudos to both these guys for making that happen. We had a little bit of minor glitch.
Sarles: Jim you probably saw the glitch if you were watching the feed.
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – July 28, 2020

Ruegemer: Well at quarter to 9:00 we were scrambling to get the problem fixed on July 4th and
you know through Priya and Jodi’s perseverance and help from Matt Kerr, one of our IT people
at the city the problem, crisis was averted. We were back online and nobody ever knew but…
But just you know like I said it takes a village around here. I mean we’re a small staff. We all
need to kind of pitch in. These two did a fantastic job with that while I was sitting in the air
conditioning in the emergency center here at Lake Ann Park so thank you for that. Appreciate
that. But no just thanks again to all staff who participated and made a modified version of this
annual event happen so.
Boettcher: Good job. Anything else for Priya on this? If not we’ll move onto the fishing
academy to go.
FISHING ACADEMY TO GO EVALUATION.
Boettcher: Priya this is still your’s.
Tandon: Yep thank you Chair Boettcher and thank you commissioners. So the City of
Chanhassen Parks and Recreation Department partnered with Chaska Area Fishing with Friends
organization to present Fishing Academy To Go program. Chaska area Fishing with Friends put
together 50 at home fishing kits that included a 5 foot fishing pole. A tackle box with bait and
tackle. Or maybe just tackle. And then some informational booklets and put together a QR code
for people to use to kind of get started with fishing. Kick off for those kids was Thursday, July
16th at the Chanhassen American Legion who is a sponsor of Chaska area Fishing with Friends
so it was great to kind of pull them into it as well. Families were offered one of two time slots to
pick up their kids. Either 10:00 a.m. to noon or 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. to try to accommodate you
know various family schedules and just keep pick up contact lists. Masks were highly
encouraged at the time of pick up. It worked out really well. Chaska area Fishing with Friends
just had the parents open up their trunks or whatever and put the kids in the back seat so that
worked really well. The program was extremely popular. All 50 kids were spoken for within
pretty much a few days of opening registration and there was a wait list of 3 or 4 families. 40 of
the 50 registrations were Chanhassen residents and 10 were non-residents and then in response to
popularity of this program staff in the Chaska area Fishing with Friends are going to look into
seeing if another one of this program or a similar program would be possible to hopefully get
more families into the organization know what organization and getting started with fishing.
And then attached was also the flyer that we used to promote the event.
Boettcher: Good. Sounds like fun. Thank you Priya.
Tandon: Thank you.
COMMISSION MEMBER COMMITTEE REPORTS. None.
COMMISSION MEMBER PRESENTATIONS.

Boettcher: Karl you’ve got something you…
Tsuchiya: Been frequently going to Bandimere.
Boettcher: There you go.
Tsuchiya: Picking up over there. Was it Saturday? No, one of the weekend mornings there’s a
fitness class that’s out there with their boom box going and they’re doing aerobics in the parking
lot if it’s sunny because of the tree cover or in the hockey rink if it’s nice.
Sweetser: Yeah they started doing that in the spring. We walk the dogs, I mean during the week
too.
Tsuchiya: Yean.
Sweetser: They would meet really early in the morning and I’m like holy.
Tsuchiya: I love seeing it. I walk my kid and my dog there in the morning if it’s cool and they
go play in the playground for a while and I’m watching these people just do like an hour of
aerobics like good on you. So that and I also see the soccer groups you know out there doing
some small group training and some people in the ballfields doing small practicing so it’s nice to
see some activity in the park.
Sweetser: I did see a game there the other night too.
Tsuchiya: Did you?
Sweetser: Yeah it’s not MYSA I don’t think. It’s probably the other league.
Ruegemer: It’s a combination of Chanhassen Athletic Association and the Minnetonka Baseball
program is playing out there as well so they are doing a modified season. Started after the 4th of
July and they’re going to go until about August 12th for that so kind of all the stuff that we had
done prior to COVID. Had all the permits in. Everything was out. Everything was ready
clicking away. We were waiting for the opening of the season and then things kind of happened
so really all that was kind of turned upside down. We had to kind of start that process all over
again so we have a lot of COVID preparedness plans. Pdf fil now. Everybody had to present all
that how they’re going to keep everybody safe to the point, to Sandy’s point, you know we’ve
got to watch from the outfield fence and look in when your kids are up to bat but you know I
think everybody is kind of adapting to that. We’re doing adult softball out at Lake Ann Park
Thursday nights through a lot of modifications for that so you know we certainly encourage
people to wear masks if they would like to. Since it’s outdoors it’s not mandatory but social
distancing as much as we can. We’re disinfecting balls. We’re…having teams, you know Team
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – July 28, 2020
10
A uses the same ball for their team. Team B uses their ball so there isn’t any softballs kind of
cross contaminating so to speak so if a ball goes out of play the umpires will get it back in and
disinfect it. We have like Jodi kind of said there’s rags of disinfectant. We wipe down
everything. We wipe everything down and at night the dirty rags go into a dirty bucket so we’re
trying to kind of do our part that we’re not having hot zones out there and certainly encouraging
people to play their games and go. Go home. Did things differently as far as format this year.
We’re not doing, typically in the past we’ve had teams change fields for two games for their
double headers. We’re doing baseball double headers right now so you’re playing the same team
twice so you’re not moving dugouts and everybody seems to be good. I got roasted on that a
number of years ago like why are you doing that? You’re stupid you know. And so I changed it
all. So other than that but now people seem to embrace it. I think they like not moving.
Tsuchiya: You’re just a visionary.
Ruegemer: Yeah. You know you do this business long enough it rotates a little…
Boettcher: Is there still vending at Lake Ann Park?
Ruegemer: There is not. No all the watercraft rentals and the concession stand was closed for
the year. You know just kind of looking at that whole operation, it was really tough to kind of go
through that whole process because the guidelines really for life jackets, I mean really by the
State guidelines they should all be taken out of commission. Sprayed down with disinfectant.
Let air dry for 3 days and then put back into rotation. Well we don’t have that luxury of doing
that and just kind of with that whole process with disinfecting and the number of staff we had
available and everything so we just elected not to do that. At that time so. But that’s sort of
going on your evaluation or are we done with that?
Tandon: Oh I think we’ve covered, all good.
ADMINISTRATIVE PACKET.
Boettcher: The last thing is administrative packet. I noticed that there was print out of the two
items and it says Park and Rec Commission recommends. Was that just, there’s nothing we have
to do to take action on the last two items?
Ruegemer: No. Which one?
Boettcher: Highway 5.
Ruegemer: Yeah Trunk Highway 5. That was, this is our park secretary’s first packet so there
might have been some oopsies up there so.
Tsuchiya: I know Jerry I have a question. Do you have any update on the 101 project at all?
Chanhassen Park and Recreation Commission – July 28, 2020
11
Ruegemer: The road project?
Tsuchiya: Yeah.
Ruegemer: Well I was down on the lower wye yesterday. Actually last weekend and I know
that they’ve got substantial, not completion but pretty good part of the road project done going to
the north. I know they’re, you can only get down to about Bluff Creek Drive right now so I
don’t know where they’re at as far as percentage of completion but they’re moving along.
Tsuchiya: Yeah I know 101’s closed because I had to get down to Shakopee for something and
had to go around which is fine.
Ruegemer: I made that same mistake. Actually I stopped at the farmers market and I was going
to go down to Prior Lake on Saturday and I started going down 101. Got down by Halla Greens
and it’s like oh that’s right so I had to back track a bit.
Tsuchiya: Can’t you just flash your badge?
Ruegemer: That doesn’t work. Don’t you know who I am?
Boettcher: Alright with nothing else I’ll entertain a motion to adjourn.
Tsuchiya moved, Kutz seconded to adjourn the meeting. All voted in favor and the motion
carried unanimously with a vote of 8 to 0. The Park and Recreation Commission meeting
was adjourned at 8:15 p.m.
