Referendum. Guiding principles include stewardship of natural resources, connectivity within
parks and trails, engagement with the community, and adaptability. He shared about results of a
2019 Community Survey, the Parks and Recreation System Plan from 2017, and the Lake Ann

System Plan Priorities were shown and options for the referendum including adding an aquatic
facility, expanding ice, permanent bathrooms at parks, an amphitheater, art center, indoor

SUGGESTED ACTION

SUMMARY
The 2021 Park & Recreation Annual Report identifies accomplishments and information relating to all
divisions within our department. The information is used to evaluate performance in order to deliver
quality programs, facilities, and customer service to the Chanhassen community.

lower than typical years, primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic and associated restrictions placed on
recreation programming of all types.
The majority of the financial information included in this report should be substantially accurate.
However, the economic data used in this report from the city's General Ledger Accounting System is
unaudited when this report is published and could be subject to adjustments up to the final issuance

RESPONSE TO COVID-19
As the COVID-19 pandemic continued in 2021, the
Chanhassen Parks & Recreation Department was able
to present both new and modified programs for the
Chanhassen community. Below are summaries of the new
programs and support initiatives held in 2021.
“Love Your CommunitY” month
CoviD-19 PoP-uP testing
soCiaLLY-DistanCeD aLL-ages Programming
vaCCination sCheDuLing assistanCe &outreaCh for seniors
During February, various events and opportunities were
promoted to lend a hand to those in need. Five hundred
and fifty handmade Valentine’s Day cards were collected
and distributed to housebound seniors. The virtual gift
card drive allowed individuals to send gas and grocery
gift cards to schools and organizations, distributing them
directly to those in need. A listing of community volunteer
opportunities was developed to connect volunteers with
organizations looking for support. Over 2,000 lbs. of food
donations were collected for the local PROP Food Shelf
as part of the Great Start community food drive, held
at Lunds & Byerlys and Cub Foods in Chanhassen and
supported by volunteers from local schools and non-
profits. A second Great Start community food drive was
held in June, which collected $300.00 and 990 lbs. of food
donations for the local Bountiful Basket Food Shelf.
As local COVID-19 cases surged in March 2021, The
Minnesota Department of Health staged a pop-up COVID-19
testing site at the Chanhassen Recreation Center. Saliva
testing was available Thursdays-Saturdays, March 11-20.
The testing site was a coordinated effort between the
State of Minnesota, the Minnesota National Guard, Carver
County, the City of Chanhassen, and Vault Health.
A Zoom trivia program was offered on February 11.
Participants were encouraged to form a team, pick up a
meal from a local establishment, and enjoy an hour of
trivia. Prizes were given from local restaurants. 10 teams
participated in the trivia challenge.
In March, two gold-painted stones with shamrocks
were hidden in each of eight parks: Bandimere, Pioneer
Pass, City Center, Rice Marsh, Lake Ann, Roundhouse,
North Lotus Lake, and Lake Susan. Prizes were awarded
for community members who found and returned the
“Blarney Stones” to the Chanhassen Recreation Center.
Through a partnership with the local Chuck & Don’s pet
store, 10 wooden bone signs were placed along trails
throughout Chanhassen. Participants took photos of their
dogs with the bones, and upon bringing the photos to
Chuck & Don’s, they were entered into a drawing for a
prize pack. Each dog received a special treat.
During the spring months, over 150 seniors with
technology barriers were connected to a Carver County
outreach team by Senior Center staff. Over 35 seniors
received assistance scheduling initial, early doses of the
COVID-19 vaccine.

PARK, TRAIL, & FACILITY PROJECTS
TH 5 REGIONAL TRAIL
PROJECT COMPLETION
The TH 5 Regional Recreation Trail and Underpass project,
approved by the Chanhassen City Council in June 2020,
was completed in November 2021. The new 1.8-mile trail
link runs from Century Boulevard in Chanhassen, through
the Highway 41 underpass, passes over the Minnesota
Landscape Arboretum property, and connects to the
Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail in Victoria. The now
completed TH 5 Regional Trail extends 8.9 miles from the
Carver County/Hennepin County line in Chanhassen to the
Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail in Victoria.
The funding of this project was a joint effort between
the City of Chanhassen (25%), Minnesota Landscape
Arboretum (25%), and Carver County (50%). Close to $1.2
million in federal grants were received, as well as private
support. Life Time Fitness also supported the project
and provided the right-of-way through their corporate
headquarters in Chanhassen.

projects included replacing the basketball court
at Lake Susan Park and playground and container
replacements at Carver Beach Park and Pheasant
Hills Park.
»Dividing wall partitions in the Recreation Center
community rooms were removed in May 2021. The wall
partitions will be replaced with functional, sound-
proof partitions in 2022 to allow for more versatile
use of the Rec Center community space.
»The galley style, 20+-year-old utility kitchens in the
Main Senior Center and the Maple Corner Room were
updated late fall of 2021. The work included new
laminate countertops, vinyl slip-free flooring, single

age categories: 4 & under, 5-8, and 9-12. Each participant will receive a bag with goodies for gathering
candy and eggs, and will have the opportunity to find special eggs that are redeemable for prizes.
Participants will also be able to take a photo with the Easter Bunny. Special thanks to the Chanhassen
Fire Department and the Chanhassen, Chaska, and Eden Prairie High School Key Clubs for supporting
and volunteering at this event.
Tickets are $6/child, accompanying adults free. Online pre-registration is strongly encouraged for

SUGGESTED ACTION
SUMMARY
The City of Chanhassen's 29th annual February Festival was held on Saturday, February 5 from 12-3pm
on Lake Ann in Lake Ann Park. It is estimated that 1,500 people attended this year's event.
BACKGROUND
DISCUSSION
Ice Fishing Contest
A total of 688 ice fishing contest tickets were sold in 2022, 276 of which were pre-registrations and 412
of which were day-of. Overall ticket sales and pre-registrations slightly below, but generally on track
with 2020 sales. A total of 54 fish were caught during the contest, so all top 50 fish prizes were given
away. The largest fish by weight went to John Lynch of Eden Prairie, who caught a 2.34 lb. Northern
Pike, and won a 24V Strikemaster Auger donated by Automotive Unlimited in Chanhassen. Over
$6,000 in total fish prizes were given away as part of the contest with contributions coming from 9
local businesses. Special thanks to the Rotary Club of Chanhassen for drilling over 1,000 holes for the
ice fishing contest.
Fishing Contest Marshals
Twelve Chanhassen Lions Club members volunteered their time as ice fishing contest marshals again
this year. They helped at the event by checking fish participants as they entered the contest area,
educating participants of special regulations and contest rules, and weighing fish at the weigh station.
Staff hope to continue working with the Lions Club in future February Festivals as they do a fantastic
job as contest marshals and are a huge asset to the event.
43
Food and Drink Concessions
The Rotary Club of Chanhassen coordinated and operated the concessions at this year's festival. The
Rotary sold a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, as well as snacks, and Grill Star
Catering sold burgers, fries, and custard. We appreciate the service of the Rotary Club of Chanhassen
and Grill Star Catering and are looking forward to partnering with them at future FebFests. In the
future, an additional outside food vendor may be secured by the Rotary to sell hot concessions on the
ice to provide options for attendees and to minimize lines.
Door Prizes
Each person in attendance at the festival could register for one door prize ticket for a chance to win over
$3,000 in prizes. The door prize tickets are separate from the ice fishing contest tickets and were free to
all participants. Thirteen local businesses contributed to the 2022 door prizes.
Bonfires
Two bonfires were placed on opposite ends of the festival area. Both were very popular throughout the
day, especially as it was fairly cold outside. It is recommended that we continue to have to fires to
ensure an area to warm up and roast marshmallows.
S'mores and Bait Sales
Chanhassen BSA Scout Troop #330 sold s'mores kits and live bait on the ice. Many people take
advantage of the bait sales on the ice and we appreciate the annual service of Troop #330. One thing to
consider for 2023 would be expanding the options of bait available.
Snowshoeing Demo Hikes and Kids' Bingo
The Riley Purgatory Bluff Creek Watershed District (RPBCWD) returned to February Festival this year
and offered free snowshoeing demo hikes, a kids' Bingo activity, and educational information about the
watershed district. The snowshoeing demo hikes are very popular and it is recommended that we
continue inviting the RPBCWD back to offer this activity.
Skating Rink
A few event attendees utilized the skating rink for ice skating with many children using the area to run
around and play. Carver County Park kick sled demos are usually in this area, but were unable to attend
this year due to staffing issues. It is recommended that staff reach out early and bring this activity back
to FebFest in 2023.
Horse-Drawn Wagon Rides
The horse-drawn wagon rides provided by Ken-Mar Farms continues to be extremely popular and
provides another activity not related to the fishing contest. It is a fun family event that should continue
in the future.
Dog Sled Rides
The city contracted with Silent Run Adventures to offer dog sled rides again this year. The rides were
extremely popular and two volunteers were present to help load/unload riders, take photos, and move
along the line.
Medallion Hunt
The FebFest medallion was found on Wednesday, February 2nd by Brian, Julia, Erica, and Andrew
Rodenz of Chanhassen. The medallion was found buried in the snow under the large evergreen tree near
the City Center Park sign. The Rodenz family received a prize basket from Charter Bank in Chanhassen
44
valued at over $500. Charter Bank Chanhassen has been the title sponsor of the medallion hunt since
2020.
Comments for Next Year
Due to staffing and supply chain issues, Carver County Parks' kicksled demos and Michael's
Cycles fat-tire bike demos were absent at FebFest this year. Staff should work with both
organizations early to ensure their presence at FebFest 2023 as they are both popular activities.
Initiate 'ice games' on the ice for participants to enjoy, such as ice beanbag toss and ice bowling.
Some other cities incorporate these aspects in their events and they appear to be popular.
Research options to display real-time fishing contest results that participants can view throughout
the contest. This would be a beneficial aspect to the contest and would also decrease time
between the fishing contest end and price announcements.

Agenda Section REPORTS
Prepared By Jodi Sarles, Recreation Center Manager
SUGGESTED ACTION
SUMMARY
Facility Updates
The CIP funded wall replacement project has continued into 2022. In late December, Hufcor installed
the wall between rooms 3 and 4. Incorrect measurements for the two remaining walls occurred by the
manufacturer. This requires one complete wall and one end section be reproduced. At this time, there is
no completion date scheduled.
A side backboard was broken by a youth dunking during an open gym session. The family will help pay
a portion of the replacement backboard. There will be a total of five baskets until the backboard
arrives.
Rental and Daily Fee Rate Increases
In March, rental rates and daily fees increased for the Recreation Center. Room rental fees for our four
meeting rooms increased $5 per hour and gymnasium rentals increased $10 per hour. Studio and
Conference Room rentals remained the same. Daily user fees increased to $4 per day for Chanhassen
Residents and $4.50 for non-residents. 10, 20, and 40 punch cards remain at the current rate.
Rec Center Events
Royal Ball
This event was co-sponsored with Victoria Recreation Center and was held at Lions Park Pavilion on
January 28. Local families had the opportunity to meet and take photos with Anna and Elsa and hear
their stories, have dinner, dance and play games. Volunteers from Chanhassen and Chaska Key Clubs
assisted with the event. This program filled with 102 people attending.

Blarney Stone Hunt
March 11-17, this was a hunt for gold stones in eight Chanhassen Parks. Successful hunters returned the
stones to the Rec Center for a prize pack. Cub Foods, Brown's Car Wash, Subway and Kiddywampus
generously donated prizes for the 16 winners. This event encourages people to visit different parks and
also drives traffic to the Park & Rec Facebook page.
Program Updates
Dance for Fun
The Spring session is underway. Dancers in our competition program will participate in two local
competitions in April. The season will end with a recital in the Chanhassen High School Auditorium on
May 7.
Rec Center Sports
David Keys was hired as the Rec Center Sports Coordinator in December. David received his degree in
2021 from the University of North Dakota. He is a tennis player and has coached youth tennis for 10
years. David's leadership has brought creativity and enthusiasm to our program.
We have hosted sessions of Floor Hockey, Basketball and Sports Sampler in 2022. To date, 133
children have participated.
Tae Kwon Do
This program has been offered at the Rec Center for over 25 years. Classes are offered for both youth
and adults and students can achieve black belt rankings. In 2021, the instructors created a
Mother/Daughter Self Defense Seminar that has been extremely popular. In the two sessions offered, 37
pairs have participated.
Upcoming Events

SUGGESTED ACTION
SUMMARY
Park staff has completed all routine maintenance on our small equipment fleet, which includes all
mowers, weed whips, back pack blowers and ball field tractors.
Maintenance crews have been busy getting ready for spring start up preparing tennis nets, ball
field bases, aeration equipment and prepping concession buildings for spring.
Each spring the city is able to utilize outside groups to help with routine maintenance task.
Sentence to Serve (STS) will be assisting with spring trash collection around the City Hall and
Library campus.
Mild March temperatures have allowed staff to start our spring maintenance program much
earlier that anticipated. We were able to open the skate park and pickleball courts early allowing
residents to get out and enjoy the weather!
We are in the process of hiring seasonal staff for the upcoming summer season. Typically the
park maintenance division hires 18-20 seasonal workers that help assist with daily maintenance
tasks such as trash collection, field preparation, mowing/weed whipping. The additional labor
provides fulltime staff to focus on bigger maintenance projects.
Park Department staff has been working with the Planning Department, specifically Jill Sinclair,
to secure grant money through the RPBCWD to upgrade the irrigation system on 78th Street. We
are happy to report the grant request has been approved and work will begin this spring. Please
see attachment for further detail.

funding assistance for a groundwater-conservation program demonstrating options to reduce
demand on groundwater resources.
RPBCWD has determined that it will contribute grant funding for the purchase of water-
efficient technology to demonstrate reduction in impact on groundwater resources. RPBCWD
commits to reimburse Chanhassen in accordance with the terms and on satisfaction of the

Chanhassen’s negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission, or breach of a specific contractual
duty; or (b) a subcontractor’s negligent or otherwise wrongful act or omission, or breach of a
specific contractual duty owed by Chanhassen to RPBCWD. No action or inaction of RPBCWD

SUGGESTED ACTION
SUMMARY
The Senior Center is a welcoming place for our 55+ community to gather, play games and socialize, but
also to explore new hobbies, listen to interesting speakers, enjoy a delicious meal on occasion, and
receive assistance services for a variety of age related issues and needs.
Historically, in the first quarter of the year we see a lower number of attendance with this age group due
to weather, illnesses, snow-birds, etc. This year was especially slow to start due to COVID infection
rates and caution toward group gatherings.
In spite of these challenges, we served over 350 participants in the following programs and activities:
Local theater productions: We continue to partner with Chaska's Active Older Adult group at
The Lodge for day trips and performance outings. This is a longstanding partnership which helps
tie our senior communities together and maintains positive social interactions between the
groups.
The Play That Goes Wrong, Old Log Theater, January
Footloose, Chanhassen Dinner Theater, February
Bright Star, Chaska Community Theater, March
Monthly 55+ Alive Defensive Driver classes provided by The MN Safety Council. Now offered
both by Zoom and in-person.
Holiday and historical speaker programs and lunches:
Valentine's Day Luncheon with singer Monroe Wright, February.
Luck o' the Irish Potato Bar Luncheon with the Hibernium Irish Duo, March.
Lunch & Speaker, The Battle of Shakopee in 1858 , speaker from the Shakopee Heritage
Society
Lunch & Speaker, The Lincoln Assassination: A Troubled Time, historical speaker David
67
Jones.
Educational workshops and classes:
Mah Jongg for Beginners, 6-week class
Organizing 101: The 10 Most Important Documents
Dementia Friends Training
Combatting Ageism: A Virtual Workshop
Medicare 101: What You Need to Know Before Age 65
Community gathering programs:
Monthly Coffee with the Cops
Bi-weekly Friday Matinee Movies
Other services:
Footcare Clinics
Individual Medicare Counseling
Free Tax Aide with AARP
Caregiver Support and Counseling
Additionally, during the first quarter of 2022 over 1250 individuals (cumulative) utilized our
space to participate in weekly activity groups. These include regular card and game groups
(Bridge, Cribbage, Mah Jongg, Bingo, Scrabble, etc.) as well as the Chan-o-laires Senior Choir
and Woodcarvers.
The updates to our two utility kitchens, which service the Main Senior Center space and the Maple
Corner room, were completed. This includes new vinyl plank flooring, as well as new countertops,
sinks, and disposals.
We are adding three new Advisory Board Members in March, and retiring four of our longstanding
Members. This group of hardworking volunteers are critical to our work at the Center, dedicating their
time and energies to help plan and serve at our events.
With Covid numbers declining and mandates lifting, we are hopeful our participation numbers will
continue to return to pre-pandemic levels. We are continuing to pursue new programs which appeal to
younger retirees, as well as classes and programs which can be offered as multi-generational.

SUMMARY
This year's ice skating rink season ran from December 30, 2021 to February 28, 2022. During the
season, the warming houses were open 58 days and closed 4 days due to low temperatures and large
amounts of snow. Roughly 5,844 participants were recorded during supervised hours.
Warming houses were available at City Center Park, North Lotus Park, Chanhassen Recreation Center,
Roundhouse Park, and Bandimere Park. The warming house at Roundhouse Park was staffed with
reduced hours on weekends and selected holidays. A family rink was also flooded and maintained at
Pioneer Pass Park for the duration of the season, but there was not a warming house available.
Warming house trailers were rented from Mobile Mini for North Lotus Park, City Center Park, and
Bandimere Park.
