NEW BUSINESS an stated Maplewood park development is funded through taxes d twelve other communities in July, 2009 inquiring how their , and there were e-mail comments in the commissioner's Community Parks Director Konweko said there is currently a PAC Dedication Fee covers park development and redevelopment. There is also a five year Capital ment Plan (CIP) which is in place through 2014. The PAC Fund and a state stat e determine what those monies may be used for. He suggested in spring, 2010, before the CIP discussion, the commission bring ideas to the City Council as to how they plan to maintain and develop the parks system. He reminded the commission of Council member Nephew's idea regarding the electric franchise fee. The commission had discussed raising that fee and using proceeds for park maintenance. There had also been discussion about a park user fee; a referendum, and the bond for the referendum that was voted on by the tax payers in 1993. The last payment for that bond will be in 2014. He suggested diverting some of the money currently being used to pay for that into a park maintenance account. With regard to a general levy, the Council 2 allocated levy money into the CIP in 2009, which is currently being used for trail maintenance and resurfacing teunis courts. Mr. Konewko will put together a packet of information for the commission for the next meeting. He went on to quote state guidelines on using funds for park development, redevelopment, and maintenance. Commissioner Maas talked about the ways in which other communities redeveloped and maintained their parks. They were, among others, obtaining grants and donations, a cell phone tower, street levies, and liquor store taxes. Chair Fischer stated there are 36 parks and 14 open spaces for a total of 50 sites in Maplewood. Playground equipment has a life span of 18-20 years, and said there are many parks currently in need of repair. The discussion continued to include the cost of a typical playground structure, replacing trails within the parks, resurfacing ball courts and blacktop, and other areas in need of repair. an is working on a parks needs . He is currently working with an e co ofthe equipment, trails, core, and present a frame of Director Konewko stated that Parks Manager T assessment He will have a report in Octobe intern and they plan to visit every park and as fields, and courts. They will rank them, figure a what the needs are. Mark Bradley, 2164 Woodlyn Ave., a Maplewood reside commission and stafflook at the various parks and how mu ey are being utilized as they are set up now. He gested getting sponsors for the parks to advertise their businesses, and usin ds for maintenance. Parks Manager Taubman said they are discussin for some youth and adult ball fields. There was other dis . ssioners regarding levies, referendums, quality of life in cities, ce 0 trails, and open spaces, and the franchise fee. There was a question grants and onations, and Community Development and Parks Director Konewko sai work diligently pursuing grants. Regarding donations from non profits and philanthro oups, he has been in contact with the Lion's Club regarding the redevelopment at Li s Park, and he believes they are willing to be involved. He said Friends of Maplewood Nature have had success with grants. Commissioner Christianson said in the past Maplewood has had development and building that sustained the city. He suggested the city adopt a plan for home buyers; in that they would pay a few hundred dollars for the parks in their area when they moved into a neighborhood. This would be a fairly consistent source of revenue. Parks Manager Taubman and Community Development and Parks Director Konewko will discuss the funding issue with their colleagues and bring more information back to the commission. Mr. Konewko said the City Council is supportive, and hopefully they can devise some solid plans to pursue a permanent funding source. Commissioner Sonnek stated she utilizes state parks and purchases state park permits. She suggested that Maplewood could institute a $10.00 sticker and solicit for Friends of Maple wood 3 Parks if such a unit was created. Mr. Konewko said he would speak with the Friends of Maplewood Nature regarding this user donation. He concluded with two thoughts: 1. He would encourage everyone to re-read the Capstone Project, which has good information; some of it speaks to surveys; and 2. At some point they need to look at the economy scale and approach neighbors in Rosedale, Little Canada, and Woodbury for support. Mr. Konewko stated Shann Finwall, the Environmental Planner for Maplewood, is pursuing her Master's Degree, and one of her papers is on funding sources. In September she would like to give a presentation to the commission. She has been working on the Capstone project, and chose a program that she would like to evaluate. She felt that the Parks and Recreation commission could use a good evaluation due to funding issues, organizational uses, and recent loss of the Park Director. Over the last seven weeks she has been doing research, interviewing experts, and looking into various funding sources. She said over and above property taxes, the Minneso Legislature limits types of funding sources that local governments can use. There is limit over the next three years which allows the city to increase levy limits to She said that hopefully they can come together to think of creative funding s or the future. B. Review of2009 Commission Goals which the commission had . ssioners received. Staff had included a summary of the goals discussion at the July, 2009 meeting, and it was in the packets the c Chair Fischer asked for were objectives that make sure the co used when planni . on of the material distributed. e stated that the items . n had set forth earlier in the year, and staff wanted to od the proper timelines. This information will be balance of the year. Commissioner Peterso com d discussed meeting with the Open Space Technical Advisory Task Chair Fischer stated they are looking forward to input from that group as they deve riority list as to which items the Parks Commission should be working on. Commi Peterson asked if the members were familiar with the Friends of Maplewood Nature. he had met with them in conjunction with the Environmental and Natural Resources Task Force. If the commission wanted to meet with them, she would try to arrange it. Chair Fischer said Ron Cockriel is part of that group and has attended their meetings several times. Director Konewko said Environmental Planner Finwall will provide an update on this in September, 2009. C. Discussion of Parks Commission's Role with the Maplewood Community Center Chair Fischer asked what the main issues are with regard to the Community Center. Commissioner Schmidt suggested walking through the community center, meeting managers, see the condition of the building, see how the programs are working and how the space is being utilized. Chair Fischer stated the community center came into being in the early 1990's when there was a strong movement among citizens saying they needed a 4 place to come together for recreation and meetings. It evolved from that without the use of general funding dollars, but using creative use of taxing and financing. Chair Fischer asked several questions to consider, and discussion ensued regarding the issue. There was discussion and questions from the commission regarding some residents were against the community center from the beginning; they did not want to spend the extra money. He recalled that the general consensus was that the community center should eventually break even. Commissioner Christianson said rumors were that the Parks Commission was not doing their job of watching over the community center. He reiterated that the commission needed to determine what their goals were for the community center, if they were neglecting their duties, and how much the commission sho be involved. Director Konewko said the council had a good discussion recently abo ces at the community center, and every council person indicated they d that breaking even was not a reality, and they were willing to fund it as Ion est effort was being made to raise as much revenue as possible. The consensus was if the commission has some knowledge of what is community center, it would be helpful. The commission members totall going on a walk through the center to see how things are going, and to recel report periodically. More discussion ensued regarding the community center and what role the Parks Commission should play. Co issioner Mackey said as a new commissioner, she thought it was their role to oversee r. If the commission could create a task force or subcommittee, or act as a liaison, able to determine what their role is. Most of the commissioners agreed the have a periodic report. Commissioner Christianson said when he as a co . issioner; he received a large packet and policies that described what the . ssion's role was in the community center. Chair Fischer said two to three years , they were receiving reports in terms of memberships and revenues, and occasionally t received information on policy changes. felt has happened is the system has broken apart, and they lost that connec . omeone to pull this back together about how they connect with the co onewko said that he would schedule a tour in October or No 8.

At the September 17, 2008 Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting the commission moved to proceed with the development of conceptual plans for lions Park. Since that time staff has been working with engineering consultants S. E. H and the Parks and Recreation Commission to redevelop lions Park with considerations for storm water management in the lions Park neighborhood. BACKGROUND On November 19, 2008 two concepts for the redevelopment of lions Park were presented to the Parks and Recreation. Following is a summary ofthose concepts: . Concept A - Manicured Park Theme: This theme explored the park concepts along the lines of the typical mowed-lawn park. The play elements of the park would be sited in such a way that would make the best use of the site's area. This concept would be based on dealing with the storm water drainage through more traditional means by separating the storm water management from the park activities themselves. . Concept B - Natural Park Theme: This theme would incorporate storm water management and landscape principles more in keeping with how Maplewood has been integrating rain gardens, swales and native plantings into neighborhood street improvements projects. Play elements would be incorporated along w=side of the storm water management concept for the park. Following the presentation of the two concept s to the Parks and Recreation Commission a survey of lions Park Neighborhood residents was prepared by staff. The survey was mailed to residents on February 6,2009 and results reported to the Parks and Recreation Commission on March 18, 2009. In addition to the resident survey staff, along with our consultants S. E. H, conducted a neighborhood meeting on June 30, 2009 at the Maplewood Nature Center. The purpose of this meeting was to present the two concepts, receive feedback and answer questions. The two concepts were also made available at the August 4, 2009 neighborhood National Night Out party held in lions Park. Based upon public input and Parks and Recreation Commission Direction staff directed S. E. H to develop a master plan around Concept B which was previously presented to the commission. The master plan has been developed and is being presented at this meeting. A proposed park improvement process schedule is attached. (See Attachment A) BUDGET See Attachment B for proposed budget. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending the Parks and Recreation Commission approve the Master Plan and proposed process schedule for the redevelopment of lions Park. <( - r:: CIl E .r:: " III ~ 0) o o ~ N .... - o ....
