Park Maintenance Quarterly Update
SUMMARY
With another winter season coming to an end, here is a brief update of what park maintenance staff has been working
and what is coming up this spring.
Park staff has completed all routine maintenance on our small equipment fleet, which includes all mowers, weed
whips, backpack blowers, and small tractors. Warm temperatures have allowed staff to get out and start spring
prep early this year.
All wood duck houses and have been inspected, cleaned and repaired for the season. The attached report
shows data dating back to 1999.
Mild temperatures have allowed staff to start our spring maintenance program much earlier than anticipated. We
were able to open the the skate park as well as the tennis and pickleball courts over a month early, allowing
residents to get out and enjoy the weather!
Each spring, the City is able to use outside groups to help with routine maintenance tasks. This month, STS
(Sentence to Service) will be assisting with general spring clean up around the City Hall and the Library.
Payton Neuville joined the Park Maintenance Department on March 8 as a Park Operator. Payton grew up in
Hastings and knew at a young age that he desired to have a career with a municipal park department. He
graduated from Dakota County Technical College with a Horticulture Degree and brings experience having
worked for the cities of Hastings, Minneapolis and Woodbury. Away from work, Payton enjoys hanging out
with friends, hunting, fishing and golfing.

20202021 Ice Rink Season Evaluation
SUMMARY
This year's ice skating rink season ran from January 11 to March 1, 2021. Due to the ongoing COVID19 pandemic,
strict limitations on indoor venue capacities, and a delayed season start due to warm temperatures and snow events,
warming houses were not opened for the 20202021 season. Rink lights were turned on during typical warming house
hours. The lights were turned on 45 days and remained off 5 days, due to both high and low temperatures during the
season.
Outdoor skating rink lights were turned on at City Center Park, North Lotus Park, the Chanhassen Recreation Center,
and Bandimere Park during typical warming house hours. The lights at Roundhouse Park remained off, as typical
warming house hours for that location did not extend into the darker evening hours. The pleasure rink at Pioneer Pass
Park did not have lights turned on, as it was flooded for the second year on a trial basis.
No outdoor rink user data was recorded for the 20202021 season. This was due to the closure of warming houses,
and corresponding absence of rink attendants during those typical hours. Rink attendants and staff informally observed
that the rinks were quite popular during optimal weather and ice conditions.
A total of 12 rink attendants were hired on a parttime/seasonal basis to turn on the outdoor rink lights. Rink attendant
wages are estimated at $1,135.03 with approximately 98 hours worked.
Expenses Amount
Temporary and Seasonal Wages (estimate)$1,135.03
Warming House Rentals $0.00
Rink Maintenance $9,335.20
TOTAL (estimate)$10,470.23
Pleasure Rink at Pioneer Pass Park:
The pleasure rink at Pioneer Pass Park was flooded over the ballfield on a trial basis for the 20202021 season. Costs
for adding this trial rink were estimated at $1,800, which was covered in the (1550) Park Maintenance Budget.

General Comments/Recommendations for 20202021 Season
The community was very appreciative that lights were turned on at the outdoor rink locations, considering that
no warming houses were available for use during the season. If warming houses are not possible for the 2021
2022 season, continue the practice of turning lights on at the outdoor rink locations.
If warming houses are possible, continue to rent from Mobile Mini. Mobile mini is affordable, easy to work
with, and flexible with delivery options and during rapidly changing times.

Senior Center Quarterly Report
SUMMARY
The Senior Center continues to reach out to active older adults during this pandemic. Although the building remained
closed to the public until February 1, the City worked with our partners to fill the gaps with fun virtual programming.
1. MacPhail Unwrapping Music (Zoom class). A 6week exploration of music genres and artists. Chan Senior
Center shared this offering statewide with other area Senior Centers. Over 50 people logged into the class over
the six sessions, which wrapped up on March 15.
2. History Mystery Video Series. These 1hour YouTube videos, created by local historian Dave Jones
highlighted historical locations and people of interest. This winter’s topics included The American Flag, The
Lincoln Assassination, and The Apollo Space Mission. Links to these videos went to over 150 people each
month. Two more videos will be aired in April and May.
When the doors opened in February, staff invited our small groups back including: Mah Jongg, Book Club,
Woodcarvers, Crochet Group, Friday Violin Sessions, Scrabble, Men’s Discussion Group, and Bingo (at the Rec
Center for now.)
Foot Care Clinics and Meals on Wheels programs continue to thrive as well.
Each week we reassess our ability to allow choir groups, card play, day trips and larger celebrations based on current
state and federal guidelines and restrictions.
Current classes and events (with limited capacity) include:
1. 55+ Alive Driver Safety Courses in partnership with The MN Safety Council. Offered as a hybrid model,
with choices to attend in person at the center or by Zoom from home.
2. St. Patty’s Day Party,March 17, with live music and a meal. Attendance limit: 30
3. Tax Information Assistance Zoom Class with Prepare and Prosper, March 18
4. Understanding VA Benefits with Brett Lyons of Carver Co. VA, Mary 25.

enroll for vaccinations without assistance. This has allowed our Center to help enroll over 25 local seniors for
vaccinations.

Replacement of the Recreation Center moveable meeting room walls is included in the 2021 CIP budget. There is
$80,000 allocated for this project. Two proposals were brought to the March 22, 2021 City Council Meeting for

week period, the Recreation Center cancelled all inperson youth programming and Open Gym times from March 6
20, 2021. Dance for Fun and Tae Kwon Do programs transitioned to Zoom; all other youth activities were either
postponed or cancelled.
COVID19 Testing Site
The Minnesota Department of Health used the Chanhassen Recreation Center as a local COVID19 testing site.
Saliva testing was available ThursdaysSaturdays March 1120. This was a coordinated effort between the State of
Minnesota, the Minnesota National Guard, Carver County, the City of Chanhassen, & Vault Health.
PROGRAM INFORMATION
Blarney Stone Hunt:
Recreation staff created a Blarney Stone Hunt in the parks. Staff put together gold painted stones with shamrocks in
eight of the parks. Two stones were placed in each of the eight parks: Bandimere, Pioneer Pass, City Center, Rice
Marsh, Lake Ann, Roundhouse, North Lotus Lake and Lake Susan. Winners were instructed to return the stones to
the Rec Center to receive a prize pack. There was very positive feedback from the community and many people were
introduced to different parks in the community.
