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 A.

City of Golden Valley Open Space & Recreation Commission Regular Meeting Minutes 3 October 28, 2019 — 6:30 pm 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.
