He explained the total funds available for park capital reinvestment is $358,000 in 2020, $375,000 in 2021 and $400,000 for each of the next eight years. None of the totals noted included any Park Dedication funding if it becomes available. Commissioners asked if there is an adjustment for inflation over the ten year period and Birno explained there is not. He said the city would just do less with the funds available to adjust for inflation. Birno went on to explain that over the next three years expenditures will be lower than the amounts noted above to pay back a loan for the monument signs at the Brookview entrance points and the need to save for the tennis court replacement at Scheid Park. Commissioners voiced concern regarding the funding available in 2020 of $208,000, $175,000 in 2021 and $190,000 in 2022 is enough to appropriately sustain the Golden Valley park system. Commissioners questioned how funding priorities were determined. Birno responded that most of the project funding determinations are based on trying to fiscally balance funds available for all the needs in the park system and justifications are generally worst -first scenarios determined by staff. He went on to say most of the infrastructure and amenities in the park system were installed in the early to mid - seventies through the sale of park improvement bonds. This was due to the fast community growth and the short time period available for park system development - deterioration/updating/replacement generally falls in the same window of time. Commissioners voiced concerns about not enough funding for park trails, energy efficient park lighting (fields, parking lots, trails, and courts), wood fiber replacement for play structures, irrigation replacement, athletic field improvements and additions, hard surface replacement as well as sun/rain shelter additions for the neighborhood parks. Birno was asked about improvements and additions for the park shelter buildings. Birno responded that Lundstrom has recommended funding in the City's building budget for roofs, doorways, bathrooms, HVAC, and ADA upgrades. Birno noted he has been told there will not be additions added to the current park shelter buildings. Commissioners believe the internal park trail funding is very low and not enough to sustain already deteriorating asphalt. Lundstrom agreed and noted we will do the best we can with what we have available. Lundstrom was also asked about the need for outdoor hockey rink replacement. Lundstrom outlined the issues with the current rinks and is recommending replacing all of our outdoor rinks over the next seven years with a system similar to the equipment installed in the City of Crystal park system. A question was raised regarding all the old backstops on most of the ballfields in Golden Valley. Birno responded that there is no funding available in 2020, however, the goal is to make improvements each year as funds allow. Birno noted he planned to complete the dugouts and safety fence issues first and then eventually shift to backstop replacement. City of Golden Valley Open Space & Recreation Commission Regular Meeting Minutes 3 May 20, 2019 — 6:30 pm Birno shared that the funding identified in the Park CIP for the proposed community garden and off - leash pet exercise area may not be enough if the project is approved to move forward. This would mean other projects scheduled for replacement/updates in 2020, may not be completed due to the need for additional funding for the Medley Park proposal. Lundstrom noted we would have estimates for the proposed improvements ready for discussion at the October meeting. Commissioners also asked about the possibility of a splash pad in Golden Valley. Birno noted he had been told there are no plans to discuss the addition of a splash pad in the Golden Valley park system. Commissioners asked about improvements needed for the golf course. Birno said the golf CIP is a different budget area and the commission would be discussing the golf course operation/CIP at the June meeting. Commission and Staff Updates A. Commission Updates Commissioner Mattison complemented the city staff on the condition of the fields at Lions Park. The GVGS opener moved forward as planned even with all the rain. B. GVLL Hosting the District #1 Classic Tournament Birno said GVLL is hosting the District #1 Classic Tournament with a tentative start date June 18-28. C. GVLL Hosting the Jim Foster 8 -year Old Jamboree Birno said GVLL is hosting the Jim Foster 8 -year Old Jamboree July 8, 9, and 11. D. GVLL Hosting the Wiff-O Classic Birno said GVLL is hosting the Wiff-0 Classic August 9-10. E. Scheid Park Play Structure Update Birno said the project was, for the most part, complete and looks great. The adjustable hoop system, benches, and line painting should be completed very soon. F. Eagle Scout Project — Storage Shed at Wildwood Birno shared a picture of the new storage shed at Wildwood Park and noted it was constructed by Eagle Scout candidate August Pirkl. Adjourn MOTION moved by Sanders and seconded by Hyberger to adjourn at 8:25 pm. Bob Mattison, Chair Sheila Van Sloun, Administrative Assistant city of golden valle� Y Date: June 12, 2019 MEMORANnUM Park and Recreation Department 763-512-2345 / 763-512-2344 (fax) To: Open Space & Recreation Commission Members From: Rick Birno, Parks & Recreation Director Subject: Flooding on Luce Line Trail Through Theodore Wirth Park Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board (M RPB) staff has been working to resolve the standing water on the Luce Line trail in Theodore Wirth Park however have had limited success. Staff believes the standing water over the regional trail is a result of the following conditions: • Record high groundwater levels in the metro -region • At or above record April/May rainfall which followed an above average snowfall amount • Trail was constructed at an elevation that did not account for the high ground water or increased rainfall the region is currently receiving • Old and failing drainage infrastructure that was originally designed to drain excess storm and ground water to Bassett's Creek • Location of a 48" diameter waterline that serves the City of Golden Valley's water reservoir that crosses the existing wetland and storm pond creating a barrier that has to be crossed • Limited equipment accesses along the Reginal Trail and Railroad property that.greatly reduces repair options • Limited funding resources to complete needed engineering design and infrastructure repairs Here is what staff at MPRB have completed to date to correct this issue: • MPRB staff operated large capacity water pumps for five -days with limited success. • MPRB staff are working with a consultant to complete an engineering report that identifies the scope of the issue and possible solutions with estimated costs. • Working through solutions given the limited resources available to staff More to come...
