7. Luce Line Trail Season Access Update — Commissioner Mattison
Mattison said staff contacted Three Rivers Park District, Minneapolis Recreation and Park Board, and
the Loppet to schedule a meeting in November to discuss the trail conditions and ski traffic issues.
Mattison said trail flooding in the same area is also a concern during the spring, summer, and fall
seasons. Lundstrom added the city engineering department is studying the flooding issue and looking
at the watershed for possible solutions.
S. Medley Park Proposal
Birno shared all the community input he has received via phone, email, website, and the public
informational meeting.
Birno shared amenity design concepts and an updated facility layout, which excludes the wooded
area on the north end of Medley Park as part of the dog park concept. Discussion then focused on
design ideas and usage of the proposed amenities.
Birno discussed the issues with the existing tennis courts and the replacement costs involved, which
is estimated at $400-500K. Sanberg wanted to also clarify that the city doesn't want to take away the
tennis courts as an amenity at Medley, however, they cannot justify the cost involved in the
replacement.
Birno and Commissioners then discussed an electronic community survey and/or an open house to
gain additional public input. After discussion, the following motions were made:
MOTION moved by Sanberg and seconded by Cornelius to host a public open forum on the proposed
changes at Medley Park during the regularly scheduled Open Space and Recreation Commission
meeting scheduled for November 25th. Motion carried unanimously.
MOTION moved by Sanberg and seconded by Hyberger to obtain additional input from the
community through an electronic community survey on the city's website for the proposed
community garden and dog park at Medley Park. Motion carried unanimously.
Commissioners then discussed and recommended a meeting format and provided guidance to staff
on the questions for the survey.
9. Commission and Staff Updates

B. Brookview Winter Recreation Trail Lights

C. Winter Disc Golf
Birno said Gotta Go Gotta Throw has partnered with Brookview and Fort Snelling Golf Course for
use of 18 baskets to expand the Brookview baskets from 18 to 36.
D. Outdoor Synthetic Curling Rinks
Birno said four outdoor curling rinks have been added for the winter season. Brookview will be
hosting a free open house November 8th. Curling leagues then begin the following week.
E. Issacson Crosswalk Light
Lundstrom said this is the first wireless Bluetooth temporary crosswalk light in the city. Birno
noted that this crossing will eventually become a formal crosswalk area.
F. Stainless Steel Slide at Schaper Park
Birno said the slide was installed at Schaper Park to support park patrons with Cochlear implants.
He also noted Three Rivers Park District fiscally supported this improvement.
G. Safety Bollards at Schaper Park
Mattison said the added bollards along the bike trail at Schaper to separate the trail and play area
are a good addition.
H. Adopt -A -Recycling Bin at Neighborhood Parks
Birno said a resident inquired about recycling containers at Stockman Park. Birno said the issue is
that the recycling bins need to be pulled to the curb for pick up each week and then returned to
the park areas. Staff is not available for this type of micro removal. During discussions regarding
alternative options with the neighborhood residents, the idea of an Adopt -A -Recycling Bin was
proposed. Birno said the program will be advertised in the winter catalog and hopefully
implemented spring of 2020.
20. Adjournment
MOTION moved by Cornelius and seconded by Mattison to adjourn at 8:40 pm.
