PARK MAINTENANCE QUARTERLY UPDATE
Park and Recreation Commission Minutes – March 23, 2021
2
Park Superintendent Adam Beers gave a report on park staff activity in preparation for the
changing seasons. At this time, due to warmer weather, staff is approximately three weeks ahead
of schedule performing maintenance on summer equipment and placing pickleball nets, tennis
nets, ballfield bases, and soccer goalposts.
Sentence to Serve will be cleaning around City Hall and the Library the second week in April.
A new staff member, Payton Neuville started two weeks ago as a Park Operator.
On March 19, 2021 the City received bids for the 2021 Park Replacement Plan which included
playground designs from Midwest Playscapes, Minnesota/Wisconsin Playground, and Northland
Recreation. Finalized designs will be posted on the City website for two weeks and residents can
vote for playgrounds for Pheasant Hill Park and Carver Beach Playground.
Chairman Boettcher commented that it was great that the City got employment applicants from
outlying areas.
2021 EASTER EGG CANDY HUNT PREVIEW
Recreation Supervisor Priya Tandon reviewed plans for the upcoming Easter Egg Candy Hunt
which will be held April 3, 2021 at City Center Park. The event will be run in three waves which
include three age categories in each wave (4 and under, 5-8 years old, and 9-12 years old). The
times are 9:00 a.m. - 9:15 a.m., 9:45 a.m. - 10:00 a.m., and 10:30 a.m. - 10:45 a.m. Due to a
change in the executive order, 300 participants are now allowed per wave which includes
children, their families, volunteers, and staff. Staff and volunteers will sanitize and place
additional candy between waves. Each participant will receive a goodie bag for gathering the
eggs including special golden eggs that can be redeemed for prizes. The golden eggs were
increased over previous years and door prizes were eliminated to encourage social distancing.
There will be a socially distanced visit from the easter bunny and a drop site for the coloring
contest. Those interested in participating in the coloring contest can find the information on the
City website.
Ms. Tandon added that the City is seeking volunteers for the event.
Commissioner Sweetser volunteered to assist in the event.
2020-2021 ICE RINK SEASON EVALUATION
Ms. Tandon gave a review of the past ice rink season. The ice skating season was abbreviated
due to COVID-19, warm temperatures, and snow events at the beginning of the season. The ice
was available for skating from January 11-March 1, 2021. Due to restrictions on indoor venue
capacities, the warming houses were not opened. Rink lights were turned on at night for 45 days
and remained off for 5 days due to high and low temperatures. Lights were turned on at City
Park and Recreation Commission Minutes – March 23, 2021
3
Center Park, North Lotus Lake Park, the Chanhassen Rec Center, and Bandimere Heights Park,
which are four of the five parks that typically have warming houses. The lights at Roundhouse
Park remained off because the warming house hours were typically during daylight hours.
Pioneer Pass Pleasure Rink did not have lights turned on as it was flooded for a second year on a
trial basis.
No outdoor rink data was recorded as there were no warming house attendants hired. Rink
attendants stated the rinks seemed popular.
Twelve rink attendants were hired, half of the usual number, who worked an estimated 98 hours
with salaries coming in at $1,000.
Overall, seasonal wages, warming house rentals, and rink maintenance costs were down.
Flooding Pioneer Pass Park cost $1,800 which is covered in the Park Maintenance budget.
Commissioner Kutz stated that, in the future, there needs to be a focus on more consistent ice.
Due to the weather, there were only 25 days of good ice. When funding is available, the City
should look at a more permanent way to get consistent ice.
SENIOR CENTER QUARTERLY REPORT
Senior Center Coordinator Mary Blazanin stated the Senior Center was shut down until February
1, 2021. While it was shut down, the City provided remote classes including teaching people
how to use zoom, a music history class “MacPhail Unwrapping Music” attended by 50 people,
and History Mystery lessons prepared by local historian Dave Jones which were shared with 150
registrants.
Currently, small groups of people are allowed to access the Senior Center in groups of no more
than 10 people.
Meals on Wheels continues to deliver meals out of their Waconia site to 12-15 Chanhassen
residents.
Some classes have transitioned to a hybrid of online and in-person including the 55+ Alive
Driver Safety Course, Tax Information Assistance, and Understanding VA Benefits.
The Senior Center held a St. Patrick’s Day party for 33 participants which included musicians
playing Irish tunes and take-out containers of baked potatoes.
Ms. Blazanin has been able to help seniors register for their COVID-19 vaccination when they
call for assistance. Carver County has stated almost 80% of seniors have received at least one
shot.
Park and Recreation Commission Minutes – March 23, 2021

Ms. Blazanin collaborated with Rec Center Manager Jodi Sarles on “Love your Community
Month” including a Valentine’s Card drive which collected 150 handmade cards delivered to
local senior housing sites. Great Start Donation Drive collected 2,836 pounds of food and
hygiene items which were donated to PROP. There is a gift card drive for Eastern Carver County
School District families as well as a Volunteer Connection list posted on the City website. Ms.
Blazanin and Ms. Sarles also collaborated to host a Chan Rec Trivia Challenge which included
10 groups of participants and awarded the top two winners with prizes donated from local
businesses.
Chairman Boettcher asked Ms. Blazanin if the Senior Center requires temperature checks.
Ms. Blazanin stated they do not require temperature checks at this time.
Commissioner Peck expressed an interest in donating to the gift card drive and asked where he
could find additional information.
Ms. Sarles stated the information for the gift card drive was located on the City website. Once
gift card purchases have been made, the gift cards will be delivered straight to the school.
CHANHASSEN RECREATION CENTER QUARTERLY UPDATE
Ms. Sarles gave an update on city facilities. $80,000 for the Rec Center removable wall
replacement was included in the 2021 CIP budget and two proposals were brought to the council
meeting. A proposal for $67,800 was accepted to replace removable walls by the end of summer.
The new walls will be more sound proof and help reduce noise in the shared space.
Youth sports activities were paused for two weeks including in-person youth programming and
open gym from March 6-20, 2021. Some classes continue online and others were postponed or
cancelled. During that time period, the Rec Center was used by the Minnesota Department of
Health (MDH) as a COVID-19 testing site where people could get a free saliva test.
Ms. Blazanin, Ms. Tandon, and Ms. Sarles collaborated to hold a Blarney Stone Hunt where 16
painted stones were hidden in 8 parks, one closer to a playground area and one off of a trail. To
date, all but two stones have been returned. People who returned a stone received a prize pack
which included extra sponsorship gifts, gift cards from Cub and Lunds & Byerlys, and Rec
Center passes.
Ms. Sarles reviewed that some classes and sports are being held in person and there have been 45
participants in adult activities thus far. Dance classes have modified their year-end recital to
include three separate performances at the Rec Center in May 2021. Participants in sporting
activities have to wear a mask if they are age 5 or older.

Approve Purchase, Park Equipment Replacement Schedule for Pheasant Hills Park and Carver Beach Park
SUMMARY
This year's park and trail capital improvement program contains $245,000 for a variety of work to be completed as a
part of the Park Equipment Replacement Schedule. $90,000 has been specifically allocated for the purchase and
installation of new playground equipment at Pheasant Hills Park and Carver Beach Park. Three companies were
selected to participate in the RFP process providing playground equipment designs totaling $70,000 for Pheasant Hills
Park and $20,000 for Carver Beach Park. Vendors were selected based on past performance and equipment quality.
Costs include supervised installation from vendor representatives and factory warranty on equipment.
An online selection workshop was available for residents to vote on a preferred playground design for both Pheasant
Hills Park and Carver Beach Park. Online voting was available March 25 April 7.
While the design budget given to each bidder in March was $70,000 for Pheasant Hills Park and $20,000 for Carver
Beach Park, there has been an increase in material costs. With the added steel surcharge, pricing still meets the CIP
project budget.

frame but the various shutdowns will have an effect on work performance throughout the year, not just starting up. Please telephone your company
contact, or our office, to discuss your project further.

scheduled to be done.

SUBJECT
2021 Easter Egg Candy Hunt Evaluation
SUMMARY
Due to the ongoing COVID19 pandemic, the 38th annual Easter Egg Candy Hunt was modified from its traditional,
largeevent format to run in three separate waves of 350 individuals maximum. The event was highly successful, and
received much positive feedback from the community.
BACKGROUND
During the planning of the 38th annual Easter Egg Candy Hunt, Executive Order 2107 was in effect, which set a
maximum capacity of 250 people for indoor and outdoor entertainment events. Because of this, the decision was
made to split the event into three identical waves of 250 people max each.
Prior to the event date, Executive Order 2111 was released, raising capacities for indoor and outdoor events. In
accordance with the EO 2111, the capacity of each wave of the Easter event raised to 350 people max each.
DISCUSSION
The 38th annual Easter Egg Candy Hunt was held Saturday, April 3 at City Center Park from 911am, in 3 separate
waves:
Wave 1: 99:15am
Wave 2: 9:4510am
Wave 3: 10:3010:45am
Each wave had a capacity of 350 people, including kids and adults. Kids hunted for eggs, candy, and special "golden
eggs" for a chance to win a prize. Kids were split into three age categories for the hunt: 4 and under, 58, and 912, and
received a goodie bag as part of the event. The Easter Bunny also made an appearance at the event, and posed for
sociallydistant photos with participants. Cost of admission was $6/child.
Across the three event waves, over 1,000 people (461 kids) registered, and almost 800 attended one of the waves.
There was about 75% attendance of those who had preregistered for the event. No walkup registrations were

There was about 75% attendance of those who had preregistered for the event. No walkup registrations were
taken, as the event was at maximum capacity with the preregistered participants and adults.
To ensure safety during the COVID19 pandemic and remain compliant with the most current guidelines from the
state, candy hunt areas were expanded from previous years, hand sanitizer was provided and hand hygiene
encouraged, and masks were required for all ages 5 and up. Participants and adults were respectful of all guidelines
throughout the event.
Special thanks goes to our Community Event Sponsors that made this event possible. Special thanks also goes to
kiddywampus in Chanhassen for donating prize baskets, and the Chanhassen Fire Department, Chanhassen, Chaska,
& Eden Prairie Key Clubs, and Chanhassen Students Today, Leaders Forever Club for volunteering at the event.
Coloring Contest
The annual Easter Coloring Contest was also run as part of the 38th annual Easter Egg Candy Hunt. Prizes were
awarded in 10 age categories based on originality and neatness. Forms were available online, at City Hall, and the Rec
Center, and could be submitted online, at City Hall or the Rec Center, and at the Easter Egg Candy Hunt.
A total of 166 submissions were entered into this year's contest. This number is significantly higher than the number of
submissions received in previous years. This may be due to the acceptance of submissions online, which was a new
addition to the contest in 2021.
Recommendations for 2022:
Continue a relationship with the Chanhassen Fire Department.
Continue to offer online submission of Coloring Contest forms.
Continue hiding more "golden eggs" redeemable for prizes in substitution of door prizes. This will eliminate
unnecessary confusion and simplify the prize distribution process.
Continue offering online preregistration to reduce eventday congestion.
Investigate the merits of holding the event in waves in typical years. Staff & volunteers received many positive
remarks from families about the wave system, and how they preferred it to typical years.
