OLD BUSINESS Old Business, Item A Director Stifter stated the Park Board last reviewed design and Lions Pavilion costing for the Lions Pavilion replacement at their October 17, replacement 2024 meeting. Following discussion, the board did not offer a motion but directed staff to provide some reiterations of the flat roof concept and some imagery and costing if we were to purchase a prefabricated pavilion from a catalog. Staff is recommending the Park Board review and recommend a design and funding strategy for council consideration at their Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 5 December 16, 2024 meeting. In the revisions provided by JLG Architects, the flat roof concept takes two approaches to deliver the same design program which is to provide a covered space similar in size to the previous pavilion with added restrooms and storage. Director Stifter reported in each design approach the canopy roof is shown with a flat version and a slightly pitched version. The first approach configures the toilets and storage room as one structure covered by the canopy roof. The second approach separates the toilet structure from the storage creating “bookend structures” that strengthen and frame the space while centralizing the toilet facilities in the park therefore reducing conflict between pavilion and other users. The architecturally designed options incorporate components of the new Community Center architecture in both, look and materials. The alternative option would be prefabricated with standard material offerings from their catalog similar to the new Lakeview Knolls Park pavilion near the pickleball courts. That, in combination with a standalone toilet building, would provide some cost savings but does not reflect the attention to aesthetics the city has incorporated into the civic campus and many other projects. The prefabricated option has not been vetted by the Lions nor the City Council. Director Stifter explained as a reminder this area will also include a new Lions playground, directly east of the pavilion, returning the preconstruction park like atmosphere to the west side of the community center. The playground design will be considered by the board at a future meeting. Funds to pay for the pavilion and playground are proposed to come from several sources, namely, the playground replacement fund, building replacement fund, Lions contribution and the park dedication fund. Total cost for both the pavilion and playground is estimated at $1.5M for the architectural design option and $1.25 for the prefabricated option. A budget estimate for the prefabricated pavilion and toilet building would likely be in the range of $800-$950K plus for any customization. The funding strategy was reviewed at the last joint work session with council in April as part of the overall financial breakdown of the community center renovation and Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 6 expansion project. Any reduction or increase in the cost would be come from the park dedication contribution. Playground replacement $300,000 Building replacement $165,000 Lions’ contribution $140,000 Park dedication $895,000 Total estimate $1,500,000 Staff is seeking a recommendation on design and funding to present to council at their December 16, 2024 meeting. Chair Lewis requested the board begin discussion focused on the design piece and the shift discussion to the funding. He asked if Councilmember Hanson had any comment on this item. Councilmember Hanson reported she had no comments at this time. Board Member Helvey asked if this pavilion would be available for rent. Director Stifter reported this would be the case. Board Member Helvey indicated he did not like the restroom being separate, but noted if the space could be rented, it may be better to have the restrooms separate. Board Member Helvey explained out of all of the design concepts that were presented, he liked the angled roof and recommended the restrooms be standalone. He indicated he was not interested in the prefab options. Board Member Syhre supported the angled roof design as well and recommended standalone restrooms be included given the types of events that would be held within this park. She asked if the storage area had a purpose. Director Stifter reported the storage area would be utilized by the farmers market. Board Member Syhre questioned if it would make more sense to have the storage area closest to the parking lot instead of closest to the lake, for ease of access purposes. Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 7 Vice Chair Ferm agreed the restrooms should be standalone. He indicated he originally liked the flat roof design, but stated the angled roof was becoming more appealing to him. He asked that the standalone restroom be tied into the pavilion more. Board Member Mielke stated he agreed with much of what Vice Chair Ferm stated. He indicated he did not support the prefab options. He reported he liked the angled roof and recommended the standalone restrooms be incorporated into the site better. Board Member Kuhnly commented she liked the standalone restrooms and asked that the architect come up with a better plan for their placement. Board Member Cunningham indicated the prefab option didn’t make sense for this park. She stated she supported the angled roof and recommended the standalone restrooms be pursued. She suggested the city’s maple leaf or other logo be placed on the restroom building. Chair Lewis summarized the comments noting the board supported Option 2A, noting work had to be done on the standalone restroom design. Councilmember Hanson stated another option to consider would be to have the standalone restroom be darker in color to match the pavilion. Board Member Syhre stated the restroom facility could also have a pitched roof to match the pavilion. Chair Lewis asked that the board now discuss the funding piece. Board Member Cunningham noted she preferred to go with the strategy recommended by staff versus trying to pull from phase two Community Center funding. Board Member Helvey agreed. Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 8 Councilmember Hanson asked if the pavilion was considered as part of the campus in order to use part of the sales tax. Director Stifter indicated there was never a time the pavilion could be salvaged as the new ice sheet covers it. He explained staff was pushed to maximize surface parking on the west side of the building to meet the needs of the expansion, which forced staff to maximize every square foot and eliminated both the pavilion and the playground. He reported the skatepark and volleyball courts would also need to find a new off-campus location. He discussed how the land from Cub was assisting with providing space for parking which in turn provides space for the new pavilion and other demands on this side of the campus. Chair Lewis reviewed several questions he received from Ron Walsh with the Lions. He described how the building would be oriented on the site, noting the pitch of the roof would be towards the third sheet of ice. Ron Walsh, Lions representative, introduced himself to the board and thanked the board for allowing him to speak. He explained he appreciated the pitched roof. He commented on the corn feed that the Lions hosted on a yearly basis and stated in the past he has had access to a fire hydrant to run the steamers. He asked that this be considered in the new plans. He reported he would like the pavilion to have powered countertops. Director Stifter stated he has held meetings with the Lions president to discuss the practical needs that had to be included within the pavilion. Mr. Walsh commented on pavilion project and questioned why the entire project was not being funded by sales tax. Chair Lewis reported there has been numerous joint Park Board and City Council meetings where staff has addressed the financing pieces. He indicated this was one consideration and noted in the end the City Council would make a determination on how the project was funded. Director Stifter commented during the joint meetings an extensive program was laid out of the sources and uses to deliver this project. Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 9 Chair Lewis stated this option was not being considered at this time. He thanked Mr. Walsh for his continued partnership with the city. Director Stifter clarified that the Lions contribution was made several years ago and the funding was recently approved by the Lions for this project. Motion made by Chair Lewis, seconded by Board Member Helvey to recommend the City Council consider Option 2A for the Lions Pavilion design concept and the funding strategy as presented by staff. Upon call for the question, on a voice vote, there were seven ayes and no nays. Motion carried. Old Business, Item B Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Peterson stated staff Policies for usage of public annually reviews the current practices, guidelines, and policies. parks, recreation facilities During this review, staff revised the policies to align with our and equipment current practices and rental requests. Staff provided a summary of the proposed language changes in further detail with the board and recommended approval. Board Member Cunningham stated she understood people wanted to host parties with alcoholic beverages, but she feared some red flags may be raised by allowing alcohol within a city park. Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reported this was something the city could try and if issues were to arise the policy language could be changed. She stated in her research, other cities have had success. Board Member Helvey indicated he could support the proposed changes, noting he has been asking for this change since the Phenow Pavilion was built. He reported this was a policy decision that could be revisited if concerns were to arise. Board Member Mielke thanked staff for how well staff summarized and addressed the proposed changes. He believed the city had enough safeguards in place to ensure problems did not arise. Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 10 Board Member Cunningham noted she appreciated the shift in that food trucks would now be allowed. Vice Chair Ferm asked if the $250 fee for events with alcohol covered the expense for security. Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Peterson reported security would be provided with in-house staff and is included in the fee. Chair Lewis explained he has generally been opposed to having alcohol within city parks, but he supported the proposed changes. He thanked staff for putting the right safeguards in place to address this change. Motion made by Vice Chair Ferm, seconded by Board Member Syhre to approve the updated policies for usage of public parks, recreation facilities, and equipment and applicable park fees. Upon call for the question, on a voice vote, there were seven ayes and no nays. Motion carried. NEW BUSINESS New Business, Item A Director Stifter stated Osseo Maple Grove Hockey Association OMGHA operations and (OMGHA) has been the leader in planning and strategizing on capital investment the future of the community’s hockey needs. The City of Maple agreement – first Grove has provided support for all youth athletics and OMGHA amendment has been a strong partner in the hockey effort. OMGHA has been integral in the planning of the new facility and is committed to their mission and the financial obligation of the approved operations and capital investment agreement. On December 18, 2023, the council approved the Operations and Capital Investment Agreement with the Osseo Maple Grove Hockey Association (OMGHA) for phase one of the Community Center renovation and expansion project. The agreement requires OMGHA to invest $4,181,854 in capital, which will be paid to the city in annual installments over a 20-year period, with the first payment due on October 1, 2025. On July 15, 2024, the council awarded bid package #2 for phase one of the project. The bid covered the majority of the construction work, as well as three alternates for restroom and flooring upgrades Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 11 in the TCO Rink. An additional alternate, #6, to add a dryland training area in the new rink, was bid but not awarded due to its cost of approximately $380,000. The final bid award and alternates were based on the facility's immediate needs and a commitment to staying within budget. Director Stifter explained as construction began, OMGHA proposed adding the dryland training area back into the project. This space is essential for hockey athlete development and addresses a common criticism of the Maple Grove arena: insufficient space for warm-ups and training. Creating this area would benefit the association, local schools, and various renters who host camps and tournaments. The contractor advised that building the dryland training area now is critical, as the foundation work required to support the walls would be complex and disruptive if done after phase one. Not including it would leave a gap in what is intended to be a premier arena and tournament venue. OMGHA expressed concerns about missing the advantages the training space would bring to their programs and other facility users. Director Stifter reported the OMGHA President Colin Steen proposes to add the dryland training area back into phase one construction, fully funded by OMGHA. The association requests that the $253,000 construction cost, excluding finish work, be added to their existing loan with the city, to be paid over 20 years. OMGHA plans to cover the remaining costs for the finish work with cash reserves and does not anticipate further funding requests for this project. The city attorney has prepared an amendment to the Operations and Capital Investment Agreement to include the $253,000 for the dryland training space construction. Funding for the add would be a loan from the Long Term Development Fund and reimbursed by OMGHA in annual installments. Operation of the space would be split seasonally with OMGHA scheduling use during the hockey season and the board scheduling use during the off season. Rental revenues during the off season would be shared with OMGHA per the agreement. Staff is seeking a recommendation to present to council at their December 16, 2024 meeting. Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 12 Board Member Helvey asked who would have site control over this once the project is completed. Director Stifter reported during the season, OMGHA would have control and access on who would be using the space. He stated during the off season city staff will manage the space. Board Member Helvey questioned if the high school teams would have access to this space. Director Stifter indicated the high school teams would have to work this out with OMGHA. Board Member Cunningham stated as a mom of hockey players, dryland training was essential. She supported making this space useful and modern for training purposes. She believed this would be a great addition to the Community Center. Board Member Mielke thanked staff for the detailed presentation regarding how the fees would be structured for the dryland training space. Motion by Board Member Helvey, seconded by Board Member Mielke to recommended the City Council amend the operations and capital investment agreement with Osseo Maple Grove Hockey Association to include the dryland training space as part of phase one construction of the Community Center renovation and expansion project. Upon call for the question, on a voice vote, there were seven ayes and no nays. Motion carried. New Business, Item B Director Stifter stated the TCO Rink has the original floor from TCO Rink replacement 1997 and has shown signs of aging in recent years. Rink floors typically last 25-30 years before they require complete replacement. The Community Center CIP program included replacement of the TCO floor in 2027 at an estimated cost of $1.5M. The system is currently functioning fine but will require replacement in the next few years. The arena service contractor has identified a small leak but is more concerned that any further investigative pressure testing may compromise the system. Pressure testing is preferred methodology for measuring refrigeration efficiency. If failure happens the rink would be out of service for months, displacing Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 13 scheduled practices and games to another venue. This would result in a loss of valued time for the hockey community as well as facility revenue. Scheduling a replacement allows for our staff to prepare arena users and plan for alternatives. Director Stifter reported Apex Facility Solutions was awarded a Guaranteed Energy Savings Agreement for the phase one geothermal system related to new refrigeration and third ice sheet. Knowing TCO floor replacement was coming in the near future staff also requested Apex provided an alternate to replace the TCO rink floor which they proposed for a price of $1.7M. Converting the rink to geothermal refrigeration could generate an estimated $560K in tax credit but the work would need to be incorporated into the current project to take advantage of any tax credits. Apex has agreed to honor the proposal price. Staff is recommending the city award a change order to add this work to the current contract and take advantage of the tax credit, saving the city between $560- 632K. This work would be scheduled after the third sheet is up and running so there are always two ice sheets in operation. Staff is recommending April – August 2026 to complete the work which is the “off season” but still typically busy. By adding this work to the current Guaranteed Energy Saving Agreement, the full tax credit reimbursement will be pushed back about a year. Staff commented further on the rink size and recommended the board make a recommendation to the council regarding the rink size and change order to the agreement. Board Member Helvey asked why staff was recommending an NHL sized hockey rink. Director Stifter reported after speaking with the different organizations that use the ice, it was staff’s belief the NHL sized rink was the norm. He indicated after speaking with staff, he understood the Olympic sized sheet was maxed out. In addition, he stated he was trying to think long term with this, which was why he was recommending the NHL sized rink. Board Member Mielke thanked staff for the detailed explanation. He stated he was proud of the fact the city’s Learn to Skate program was one of the most popular in the state. He indicated this was a tremendous asset to the community. He Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 14 stated he supported going to the NHL size rink based on staff’s rationale. Board Member Cunningham commented the NHL sized rink was more ice for the little kids to skate on, but she appreciated how staff was looking at how this ice was used. She commented the hybrid option may be the better option for the new rink. Board Member Syhre explained she supported the hybrid option as well. She discussed how much growth has occurred within the Learn to Skate option and discussed how the hybrid option would accommodate both groups. Board Member Helvey stated the Learn to Skate program has grown so large that it would need to go to two rinks, regardless of which rink size moves forward. Mandy Pirich, Learn to Skate Coordinator, described how she utilized ice time for her program and noted the use of the hybrid option would allow for the use of less rinks at one time, allowing for other user groups to use prime hours. She indicated the NHL sized rink would require the majority of the prime hours to be used for the amount of participants she served year round. Board Member Helvey anticipated the program has reached the size that two rinks would be necessary no matter what. He reiterated that this was the city’s ice rink and the city’s programming should take priority. He commented he was against anything that was hybrid because he believed anything that was trying to do two things was not doing either well. He stated he was trying to understand how the NHL sized rink would stymie the growth of the Learn to Skate program. Ms. Pirich explained overhead costs would increase and she would need to purchase twice as many hours of ice time, which would impact profits for the city. Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Peterson explained as the program grows a second sheet may be necessary, but this would not be required if the program had a larger sheet of ice. Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 15 She reported the city spent $55,000 on ice time each year and if this was doubled, this would significantly impact programming and profits. For this reason, she would like to see the sheet of ice remain larger. Vice Chair Ferm stated he understood Board Member Helvey’s concerns. He explained the Olympic sized sheet of ice was satisfying the Learn to Skate program in the short term, but with growth, an additional sheet may be necessary. He noted the Olympic sized sheet of ice would only fit the program for another few years. He was of the opinion that switching to the NHL sized sheet would satisfy all users in the long run. Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Peterson commented on the revenue losses that would occur if the program were to shift to two sheets of ice. Board Member Kuhnly asked if the skating program needed extra space on the ice. Ms. Pirich reported the length and the width increases capacities. She stated on the Olympic sized rink she can hold 12 classes and if the rink were reduced to an NHL size, this would be reduced to five or six classes. Chair Lewis commented things would be different once the Community Center has three sheets of ice open for use. He indicated this was one of the first decisions the board will be making that will impact the new facility. He stated he appreciated the comments from Mandy, but he also wanted to ensure the board was thinking long term. Board Member Helvey commented one other matter to consider was that having three NHL sized rinks may generate more revenue for the city that the current model does not satisfy. He believed leaving the Olympic sized rink in place would not be as attractive for potential future tournaments. Motion by Board Member Mielke, seconded by Board Member Cunningham to recommended the City Council approve a change order to the Guaranteed Energy Saving Agreement with InBYLT (formerly Apex Facility Solutions). Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 16 Upon call for the question, on a voice vote, there were seven ayes and no nays. Motion carried. Motion by Board Member Helvey, seconded by Vice Chair Ferm to recommended the City Council approve the design and construction to replace the TCO Rink floor and convert it to NHL size with new dasher boards. Board Member Cunningham stated Board Member Helvey’s comment regarding the rink size for future tournaments was a great comment. For this reason, she would be supporting the motion on the table. Upon call for the question, on a voice vote, there were six ayes and one nay (Board Member Syhre opposed). Motion carried. New Business, Item C Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Peterson stated the Maple Grove Community first phase of the Maple Grove Community Garden program Garden program – phase 2 launched in May 2024 at Donahue North Park. The garden features 22 raised garden beds and 18 in-ground plots. Interest in the program was strong with over 100 participants enrolling in the lottery for the 40 spots available. Participant feedback from end-of-year surveys indicated high satisfaction, a preference for raised beds, and high interest to participate again in 2025. Based on the success of phase one, staff recommend developing a second community garden site. This expansion would be funded through the park development program which was reviewed by the board at their September 19, 2024 meeting. Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Peterson explained following a review of the 2023 community engagement report, the 2024 participant survey, and geographic data on interested participants, staff recommends Lakeview Knolls Park as the site for the second community garden. Lakeview Knolls Park is recommended for its central location within the city, adjacent to ample parking, proximate restroom facilities, and for repurposing the former Old Village Hall site. Staff commented further on the plans for Phase 2 and stated upon successful review of the board by adding a second garden, those who participated in the 2024 garden program would have priority registration for 2025. The remaining plots would be available Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 17 through a lottery registration system. This program is open to Maple Grove residents only. Staff requested the board approve the phase 2 community garden plans for Lakeview Knolls Park. Vice Chair Ferm stated he supported phase 2 plans for the community garden. He asked if the garden water supply would come off of the irrigation system. Parks and Planning Superintendent Jaszewski reported the old water line to Old Village Hall would be used, which will reduce the cost of the improvement. Vice Chair Ferm questioned what type of fencing would be used. Parks and Planning Superintendent Jaszewski explained wooden posts would be installed by staff and a hog wire type fence would be attached to the posts. Board Member Cunningham stated she supported the community garden expansion. Board Member Mielke asked if all of the beds would be raised. Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Peterson commented all beds in phase 2 would be raised. Board Member Helvey encouraged staff to begin seeking a third location for the next expansion of the community garden. Board Member Syhre stated she appreciated how this park would be utilized for a community garden. She anticipated this second phase would be very popular. Chair Lewis agreed stating the synergy from the surrounding uses made this a great location for the community garden expansion. Motion by Board Member Kuhnly, seconded by Board Member Cunningham to approve the Lakeview Knolls Park as the location for phase 2 community garden and approve the budget estimate for project development. Upon call for the question, on a voice vote, there were seven ayes and no nays. Motion carried. Park Board Meeting November 21, 2024 Page 18 Adjournment Motion made by Board Member Helvey, seconded by Board Member Mielke to adjourn. Upon call for the question, on a voice vote, there were seven ayes and no nays. Motion carried. The meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Chuck Stifter, Director Parks and Recreation Board City of Maple Grove
