Discussion on Southwest Park access trail from the Mystic Creek subdivision. Marty Kosobucki, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry, stated that staff is looking for some guidance on the topic of adding an access trail from the Mystic Creek subdivision to Southwest Park. When the Mystic Creek Subdivision was being developed, the city requested an easement to be provided through the subdivision to gain access to the property that is continuous with Southwest Park. This would allow the residents of the Mystic Creek Subdivision easier access to Southwest Park. The easement was provided, but the trail project has not been added to the capital improvement plan. Recently, there has been more interest from the residents for this access trail. Staff is proposing to add a request in the 2027 budget for a consultant be hired to determine the best location of the trail and how to establish it. This is a woody area with low areas. The consultant would determine the best way to develop the trail in a cost- effective and safe manner. If the park board agrees, staff will include it in the proposed 2027 budget. James Kneiszel asked if the trail would be a more rustic one. Marty Kosobucki stated that this would be for the consultant to decide. It would be great to have a hard surface trail, but it would be up to the consultant to determine what is the best surface. There is also a creek that the trail will need to cross. Jeremy Beck stated that he knows people who live in the subdivision with small children, and the residents he has spoken with would be happy with a crusher dust trail. Currently, they have to either walk all the way around or drive to Southwest Park. Marty Kosobucki stated that realistically, currently the residents would either need to navigate through the woods or drive to the park. The Park Board agreed that staff should include requesting a consultant to develop a trail to Southwest Park from the Mystic Creek Subdivision in the 2027 budget. Page 5 of 49 5. Informational A. Staff update on the Wilson Park project. Marty Kosobucki, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry, provided a memo to the members regarding updates to the Wilson Park project. Marty stated that staff met with Graef after the last park board meeting and there is no way to put wired accent lighting in the trees without running a conduit. The only accent lighting that could be used would be low level lighting and this is a very attractive nuisance to vandalism. The city would prefer not to have this type of lighting due to the high potential of vandalism. Staff would request leaving the accent lighting out of the bid for now so the project can move forward, with the possibility of adding accent lighting in the future. Staff also confirmed with the engineering department that they are not able to bid the project. Graef is able to do the bidding out of the project, so the project will be moving forward with Graef. There is not a request for additional consulting funds for the bidding because there are funds in the parks general consulting account that will be used to fund the additional fees to Graef for bidding the project. Staff also asked the engineering department if the sidewalk portion of the project could be pulled out and added to the existing engineering sidewalk contract. The city engineer prefers this not to be done because it causes additional work for the department, and it would also be very close to the dollar threshold that the project could be adjusted. The city engineer also suggested that, for a potential better bid, a contingency could be added to the contract that if the project could not be completed in the fall of 2026, the contract could be completed in the spring of 2027. Marty explained that we do not want to wait to bid out the project in the spring of 2027 because there is a 2-year window with the grant, so we need to keep the project moving forward. Regarding the monument. Staff realizes that there is a lot of concern from everyone regarding the monument and left several messages to contractors with no return calls. Finally, the State Historic Preservation Office was contacted, and they provided a couple of contacts that were very helpful. Both are approved contractors with the State Historic Preservation office and both concurred that the monument should stay where it is. If it is moved, there is a strong likelihood that the whole monument will be compromised. They also both agreed that the monument is in incredibly good condition and if we chose to do nothing it would be fine. If we wanted to do something with the monument, they suggested we clean out the landscaping, exposing the base concrete layer, so it can breathe. They also stated that we could clean the cast iron plaque and concrete with dish soap or a non-abrasive cleaner and a non-abrasive cloth. Then the concrete could be sealed, and linseed oil could be put on the plaque itself. However, both agreed that nothing needed to be done because the monument is in really good condition. Neither of the contractors were interested in doing any restoration to the monument because they didn't feel it needed to be done, and the project wasn't big enough for them to bring a crew up to do it. There was also some discussion about painting the lettering on the monument black. Both contractors researched the monument and felt that painting the lettering would not be the best thing to do. From the research done, they believe this plaque was originally all black, and should be left in its current state, which is the way we received it. Staff is looking to have Graef get the project out to bid in the next few weeks and to bring the received bids to the Park Board in August and then to council for approval. James Kneiszel stated that he is very disappointed that no solution was found for the uplighting. The original concept showed uplighting, and he wants staff to continue to try to find a solution. He stated that the bridge has uplighting that is poured in concrete and questioned if this type of lighting would work. Marty Kosobucki stated that the original lighting proposed was for solar lighting, not wired lighting. The only way to provide this type of lighting is for the lighting to shine up from the ground. Marty explained that staff could continue to look for options, but he wanted to keep the project moving forward. The concept of uplighting is not off the table, but there is nothing currently in the specifications, so the project can move forward. James Kneiszel stated that if the uplighting is not done during the project construction that it is unlikely to happen. Marty Kosobucki disagreed and stated that as long as money is left, then the lighting could be put in. If the park board wants some type of lighting, we can postpone the bidding on Page 6 of 49 the project, and it can be brought forward at another meeting. Marty Kosobucki stated that we could move forward with the bidding process and still look for available options. These options could be brought to the September meeting, and if funds are available, a change order could be requested. If funding is not available, city council would have to approve the additional funding. James Kneiszel questioned if staff could research what is used on the bridge and if that would be a suitable option and bring it to the July meeting. Alderperson Chandik Kundinger also mentioned that if the bids come in as projected, there would be additional funding available. Marty Kosobucki agreed that if the bids come in as projected, funding could be available. B. Staff update on donations from WPS and ATC for Arbor Day tree planting. Marty Kosobucki, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry, provided an update on the tree donation from WPS and ATC, stating with the donation about 5 trees could be planted. James Kneiszel questioned if ATC was planting any trees at Voyageur Park for the ones that were removed. Marty Kosobucki stated that no trees are required to be planted. All the trees that ATC removed were in their easement, and they are allowed to take them out. C. Staff Update on Pickleball Courts and Leagues. Marty Kosobucki, Director of Parks, Recreation and Forestry, explained that pickleball continues to be very popular. Last year the pickleball league ran into some issues because the courts were busy. These signs now highlight that the courts will be reserved during a certain time frame for our league play, so hopefully the problem will be eliminated. D. Staff update on non-profit fee waivers. Marty Kosobucki, Director of Parks, Recreation, and Forestry, stated that he talked to seven different communities and most are consistent with what the city does regarding non-profit fee waivers. For the most part, the other communities do not give a discounted rate on weekends. The park board agreed with keeping our policy as stated. 6. Future Agenda Items None 7. Adjournment Randy Soquet moved to adjourn the meeting at 6:55 pm, seconded by Jeremy Beck. Upon vote, the motion passed unanimously.

In exchange for their sponsorship, all shirts for the league would have an approved Aurora BayCare Sports Medicine logo on the back. The estimated cost per league for shirts is $550- $600. This sponsorship would greatly reduce the program operational costs. Thank you for your time and consideration.

We ran it briefly to get some of the humidity out of the building during the heat wave, in the next week we’ll get trained by Bassett Mechanical on how to use the computer interface. You’ve received the end of year financial reports, which is consistent with the last couple of seasons, as the rink only operates between Oct. 1 and April 30 in a typical year. You will notice that Repair and Maintenance were drastically higher to the amount of around $26,000. In that increase includes a few large ticket items that needed to be repaired or replaced. Those items included Condensing town pump at $3,000 and a refrigeration leak of $4,000. We also spent $13,000 on painting the locker room areas prior to the State Tournament that has held this season. We also continued to have issues with the Bleacher heaters with one large repair of $2600 but several service calls leading to that repair were in the range of an additional $2500. Building inspectors were called into look at the building the week the National Tournament was being held, which led to several code violations that did not meet current codes, we’ve been working with Marty on several of those issues to get them resolved before opening this fall. Each of the violations were items that had been the same since before Brown County Ice Management was contracted with the City for operations of the Ice Arena. We plan to open in the fall the last weekend of September, If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me, 920-403-2000 or email at cornerstoneicecenterdon@gmail.com . Thank you.

This project was financially supported by the De Pere Youth Hockey association with a pledge of $50,000. We were anticipating the floor bid to come in around $60,000- $80,000 based on conversations with vendors. Bids were opened on Thursday, July 9th. We were anticipating 3-4 bids and received three bids. Unfortunately, the lowest bid came in at $149,490.70. Below is a quick summary of all the bids. All American Arena Arena Warehouse Gegare Tile, Inc $149,490.70 $184,977.70 $346,816.05 At the time of this memo, we do not have a recommended action. Staff plans to research the bids and discuss the project with City Administration and De Pere Youth Hockey. I will have additional information for you at our meeting.

Attachments: Memo.Volunteer Park Playground Surface bid Page 17 of 49 To: Board of Park Commissioners From: Marty Kosobucki Director of Parks, Recreation and Forestry Date: March 19, 2026 RE: Consideration and possible action to approve the Volunteer Park playground surfacing bid. * Summary: On Thursday, July 9th bids were opened for the fall surface at the Volunteer Park playground. With the bid specifications, we offered the option to bid on turf or poured in place surfacing. We received three bids for the project. Two bids for poured in place surfacing and one bid for turf. Please see a quick summary of the bids below. Perfect Turf (Turf Fall Surface) Bluemels (PIP) Perfect Tur (PIP) $61, 476.00 $64,630.00 $70,959.00 All three bids fall in line with our projections within our budget. We do not have a playground at this time that has a fall surface which is turf, however we have talked with several communities that have turf and they indicated they are happy with the product. Recommendation: Staff would recommend accepting the bid from Perfect Turf in the amount of $61,476 to install a turf fall surface at Volunteer park and forward to council for approval.

Attachments: Memo.Carney Park Playground surfacing bid Page 19 of 49 To: Board of Park Commissioners From: Marty Kosobucki Director of Parks, Recreation and Forestry Date: July 16, 2026 RE: Consideration and possible action to approve the surfacing bid for the Carney Park playground. Recommendation: To deny the bid from Perfect Turf Distributing and rebid project to expand materials to turf or Poured in Place. Summary: With Carney Park being a small playground the goal was to go in a different direction than poured in place. Over the past several years we have been only getting one bid on poured in place surfacing and our staff feels the quality has diminished from the company typically getting the bid. Tiles were investigated and felt to be a good option to try, especially considering the playground was going to be a smaller project. Bids were opened on Thursday, July 9 and unfortunately, we received only one bid. And just as unfortunate, the bid we received was almost 40% more than we were projecting. Below is the bid received for tile fall surface at Carney Park, which is about $20,000 more than we were projecting. Perfect Turf $85,300.00 Based on other bids we received for poured in place and turf for Volunteer Park, we feel the most fiscally responsible course of action would be to deny the bid and rebid the project looking to install turf or poured in place. The negative to this is if poured in place would end up being the selected fall surface, the playground would not likely be ready until spring of 2027 as temperatures would not be conducive for installation in late fall. In speaking with a playground representative, turf can be installed if snow cover does not prevent it. The other option, versus rebidding the project, would be to accept the tile bid and request an additional $20,000 from unassigned reserves to complete the project.

Attachments: Memo.Walleyes for Tomorrow, 2027 Walleye Restoration Project, Document_260612_061918, Landowner, Reef Transect Page 21 of 49 To: Board of Park Commissioners From: Marty Kosobucki Director of Parks, Recreation and Forestry Date: July 16, 2026 RE: Consideration and possible action to approve a request from Walleyes for Tomorrow to utilize the Perkofski boat launch during the winter for their shoreline improvement project for walleye habitat.* Summary: We have received a request from the local chapter of the Walleyes for Tomorrow to utilize our Perkofski boat ramp during the winter for their shoreline improvement project for walleyes. The project is expected to be one day and will encompass larger truck traffic going through our park, using the boat ramp, and dropping rock on the ice. Once rock is on the ice, a utility vehicle will transport the rock to the designated improvement location just to the north. Staff Recommendation: We see no reason to deny the request from Walleyes for Tomorrow, and we would recommend supporting the request. To protect our facility, we would suggest drafting a Memo of Understanding that would protect the City from the park being damaged and other liabilities. Ultimately, we would recommend getting a MOU drafted by our legal office and then forward to council.
