City of Golden Valley Open Space & Recreation Commission Regular Meeting Minutes 2
May 20, 2019 — 6:30 pm
Review and Discuss 10 -year Capital Improvement Proposed Plan (CIP)
Birno shared the proposed 2020-2029 Parks Capital Improvement Plan. 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.

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...
