Call to Order: Committee Member Bailey Ruona called the meeting to order at 5:02 pm. Members present were Rob Daugherty, and Bailey Ruona. Committee member Pat Knox was not present. City Administrator Matt Wolf, Public Works Director Mike Kinneman, and Planner Carter Hayes represented staff. Also present were Jan and Nicki Anderson representing the Leo’s Landing Riverfront Property, Prescott Pickleball, and members of the public. 1. Approve Minutes for February 21, 2022. Ruona motioned to approve the minutes for February 21, 2022, Daugherty seconded, motion passed without a negative voice vote. (2-to-0) 2. Leo’s Landing – Riverfront Property The owners of Leo’s Landing requested at the February 14, 2022, City Council meeting to speak to the Parks and Public Property Committee regarding the land they lease from the City to operate their current business. The assessor’s plat that was completed for the downtown from 2019 is attached for reference delineating the land that Leo’s Landing currently owns. Jan and Nicki Anderson represented the Leo’s Landing Riverfront Property. The owners of Leo’s Landing presented documents of prior lease agreement between the city and themselves. The owners sought a reasoning for the lease rate increase at the beginning of 2022. The Committee motioned to further investigate the matter in future hearings. 3. Pickleball Court Request The City of Prescott was approached by Prescott Pickleball with the request to stripe several courts and potentially in the future develop dedicated pickleball courts. The group has four requests: A. Stripe four courts on the existing Tennis Courts at Public Square Park. B. Stripe a court on the basketball court at Public Square Park. C. Place a permanent storage bin for gear at Public Square Park. D. Create four dedicated Pickleball Courts in the future at either Public Square Park, St. Croix Bluffs Park or a future park to be created. The group has discussed that if we moved forward with constructing dedicated pickleball courts they would look for assistance in funding through grants. The group expressed interest in expanding the Pickleball infrastructure in the city, due to an increase in citizens interested in the sport. The group presented a signed petition of approximately 60 persons interested in the sport. Committee member Ruona mentioned a potential examination of the comprehensive plan to integrate Pickleball into city parks. Committee members also expressed interest in repurposing the volleyball court at Public Square Park to incorporate dedicated Pickleball courts. 4. Skate Park Relocation Discussion A request was made to look at moving the skate park currently located off of Dexter Street. Staff would like to discuss with the Parks and Public Property Committee if they want to determine options for potentially moving the skate park in the future. City Administrator Wolf presented the potential movement of the skate park to a centrally located area within the city. A specific location was not named, and the state of the skate park was put into question as being in disrepair. Committee Member Daugherty and Ruona expressed interest in removing the current skate park, and replacing the park with a better quality, and more safe skate park in a more desirable location. The Committee expressed interest in investigating further into the safety of the current park and the urgency behind replacement or relocation of the park. 5. Magee Park CSM Proposal – Cedar Corporation Cedar Corporation has put together a proposal to complete the CSM for Magee Park and update the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan at an estimated cost of $3,500. City Administrator Wolf presented the information regarding the Magee Park CSM Proposal from Cedar Corporation. Both Committee Members Ruona and Daugherty motioned to approve the proposal without a negative vote (2-0). 6. Fairy Wonderland Discussion The Fairy Wonderland group has notified the city they would like to move forward with installation of the 1st phase of equipment or zone F in the master plan that is attached. As part of that request, they are inquiring if the city would be willing to donate staff to install the equipment. Staff would like to with the Parks Committee installation of the equipment. City Administrator Wolf presented the information regarding the Fairy Wonderland Discussion. City Administrator Wolf discussed the need for a more detailed plan of Fairy Wonderland including the dimensions of the park in all phases. Committee Member Ruona mentioned the need for a crane rental from outside of city capacities, including that it would be additional costs to the city. The decision by the Committee was to await more detailed plans from the Fairy Wonderland representatives. 7. Lifeguard Discussion Currently the City of Prescott has $10,000 budgeted for the funding of lifeguards. These positions would be hired starting Memorial Day (Monday, May 30) to Labor Day (Monday, September 5) and would work 11 am to 7 pm. Currently the issue the City of Prescott runs into is that the Prescott Beach is flooded until late June or early July making hiring difficult for lifeguard positions, as applicants want to make money throughout the entire break. This is an item we would like to discuss with the Committee. Below are the following hourly wage ranges for lifeguard positions in surrounding communities: River Falls, WI $12.00 - $17.00 Washington County, MN $15.64 - $18.04 Hastings, MN $13.00 - $19.00 Given the wage range above it is recommended that the City of Prescott set their wage range from $14 - $16 per hour depending upon qualifications to be competitive with surrounding communities. With two lifeguards on during a shift (16 hours per day and 98 days through the summer) this would equate to a cost of $21,952 to $25,088. Ideally the City would be looking to hire 4-5 lifeguards that can cover the shifts throughout the week. Currently the City of Prescott has a Planner position budgeted for the whole  year at $55,000 plus benefits, however the current Planner will not start full-time until the end of May which results in a cost savings of $18,190. The City would use these funds to bridge the gap to hire the lifeguards at $14-$16 per hour. City Administrator Wolf presented the information regarding lifeguards in Prescott City Parks. Position term dates, competitive wage rates, and issues regarding park flooding was mentioned. Committee member Ruona motioned to approve the proposal of lifeguard job posting. The motion passed without a negative vote (2-0). 8. Joint Workshop – Oak Grove and City of Prescott: April 6, 2022 at 6:00 pm. City Administrator Wolf discussed having a proposed joint workshop with the City of Prescott and Oak Grove Township regarding Coulee River Trails. The committee stated they would prefer to have the workshop on a Wednesday and preferably at 6:00 pm. City Administrator Wolf stated he would reach out to discuss with Oak Grove Township. 9. Public Comments A citizen expressed concern over the setback compliance of the fuel tank at Leo’s Landing. It was brought to attention that the fuel tank is in violation of setback ordinances as well as issues regarding bank erosion. Committee Member Ruona expressed investigation into the fuel tank’s permittance process. City Administrator Wolf ended with a decision that more investigation into the matter would be needed. Daugherty/Ruona motioned to adjourn passed, without a negative voice vote at 5:42 pm Respectfully Submitted, Carter Hayes Planner To: Parks and Public Property Committee From: Matt Wolf, City Administrator Date: April 13, 2022 Subject: Graphic House Inc. Background At the January 17, 2022, Parks and Public Property Committee, Graphic House Inc. gave a presentation on the work they do in creating and installing sign packages for communities. As a result, Freedom Park and Coulee River Trails Executive Director Israel Haas, Chamber of Commerce Chamber Coordinator Casey Johnson, and myself met and came up with the master plan for sign locations (see attached Park Sign Location Map). Discussion Graphic House Inc. has put together a concept plan for a sign family for the City of Prescott (see attached). This sign package would be used to update the signs throughout Prescott over time based on the Park Sign Location Map. The first phase of updating the signs would be as part of the river front phase 1 project, which would include signs at locations #1, #2, and #4. From the attached sign family these locations would include a Gateway/Entry Sign at location #1, a Directory Kiosk at location #2, and a Freestanding Directional sign at #4. Graphic House Inc. provided a cost estimate for each of the signs that are listed in the attachment. These costs include manufacturing the sign and installation costs for one sign at a time. Per the estimate if the City did multiple signs at once there are costs savings that could be realized. Based on the estimates the total would be $35,000. With the current bids that came in from the riverfront project the City is expected a savings of $79,083 from the original estimate. It is proposed that if the committee would like to move forward with the signs that the savings used from the riverfront project be used to pay for the signs out of TID #4. Recommendation Discuss if the Committee has changes, they would like to see in the concepts submitted by Graphic House Inc. and if they would like to move forward with manufacturing and installation of signs #1, #2, and #4 on the Park Sign Location Map.

These rough drawings and numbers will be the basis for planning, budgeting and final design approvals. All numbers are derived from theoretical design costs. Final costing will be determined by approved design attributes, value engineering and Phase planning. Each cost is based on a single manufacture and installation. Efficiencies can be realized with multiple manufactures and installations to reduce costs. $19,000-$20,000 Single installation  Double faced version shown $8,000- $8,500 single installation $6,000-$6,500 single installation  $9,000-$9,500 single installation Please feel free to contact Dave Nadolny with Graphic House Inc. with any questions or comments. 715-370-7114 or daven@graphichouseinc.com To: Parks and Public Property Committee From: Matt Wolf, City Administrator Date: April 15, 2022 Subject: Scenic Byways Grant – Scope of Work Background The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) has released a grant opportunity through the National Federal Highway Administration for $22,000,000 through the National Scenic Byways Program. WisDOT is asking for projects to be a minimum of $500,000 and is at an 80% grant to 20% local match. The current closing dates for applications is Monday June 20, 2022, however letters of intent to apply are due by Monday, April 18. The City of Prescott previously received funding for the Great River Road Visitor & Learning Center with $1.7 million in funding through the program in 2001-2003 (see attached Grants-Fiscal Year 2000-2011). Discussion Due to the limited timeframe in which to submit the grant, staff has requested Cedar Corporation to submit the letter of intent to WisDOT. Staff would like to discuss with the committee if they would like to move forward with a full application submission to WisDOT for the program. The proposed scope of the work would include the trail work coming up from downtown to Freedom Park then to Magee Park, and all the concept plan that was approved for Magee Park (see attached Concept Layout & Magee Park Concept Plan). If a full application was submitted work for the grant application would be done by Cedar Corporation and come out of the Parks Escrow allocation. Currently the balance of that allocation is $44,500 after the expenses listed in the table below. Total Total Fund $50,000 Expenses YTD Magee Park CSM $3,500 WisDOT TAP Grant $2,000 Total Remaining $44,500 If the Parks Committee would like to move forward with the proposed layout. Staff will draft a letter notifying property owners of the potential trail alignment coming into Magee Park off Washington Street. Recommendation 1. Discuss the scope of the proposed work to be submitted for a potential Scenic Byways Grant through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and determine if the Parks & Public Property Committee would like to approve submission of a full application.

WisDOT submits. • A UEI number from www.sam.gov is required for all entities identified in your grants.gov application. The process to get a UEI number can take several weeks. Can the project or its goal be changed after a Letter of Intent is submitted? This will be considered for approval. The application should describe the change. An internal WisDOT deadline before the FHWA deadline (6/20/22) will be set soon. Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit before the deadline. Applications will not be evaluated, and awards will not be made until after the 6/20/22 deadline. Cost Sharing • 80 percent means up to 80 percent of total project costs, not 80% of the federal funds being requested. • A 20% local match is required for each project funded by the NSBP. Private, local, Indian Tribe and State funds may be used as the non-Federal matching share. • The 20% match cannot come from other Federal sources. o There are two programs in which you are allowed to use Title 23 funds as a match— Federal Lands Transportation Program and the Federal Lands Access Program (FLAP). FLAP is administered by each of the three Federal Lands Highway division offices (Eastern, Central, and Western). Visit this FHWA webpage for more details. o The State programs can also dictate which types of matching fund that can be used; applicants should discuss with their State Coordinator. • For more information on the types of matching funds that can be used, please visit this NSBP webpage or this guidance document. • The archive of past funded grant projects is available here. Can loans and grants count toward the 20% match? Possibly. Depends on the grant/loan programs’ requirements about combination with grant programs. Having the loan/grant funding toward the 20% match at the time of the application is preferred by FHWA. Can property, materials and services be accepted toward the match share? Generally yes. More information coming soon. Can the local 20% match sources be changed after the application is submitted? This will be considered for approval. An explanation of the requested change will be required. 1 Will grant contract management costs be eligible for reimbursement? It depends. Work has to take place after the grant award. Costs incurred prior to the grant award will not be eligible. I am waiting for more information from FHWA about this. Will prior NSB funding for a project increase/decrease a project’s likelihood to be funded in this cycle? No. There is no connection to past funding. Does a higher NSB designation rank (an All American Rd. application vs. a National Scenic Byway application) affect an application’s likelihood for funding? No. Good old links: NSBP 2022 Grants NOFO FHWA NSBP Grants webpage Title 23, Sec. 162.

With the update of the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP) in 2021 the City would like to assure that the trail alignment is at the best possible alignment for the future health of the trail. Additionally in order to determine future costs the City would like to come up with a concept plan for development at the future park in Great Rivers. Finally, the City of Prescott and Oak Grove Township recently met to discuss the Coulee Rivers Trail. A resolution from Landmark Conservancy is being requested in support of their Knowles-Nelson Stewardship application. Discussion A. Great Rivers Coulee River Trials Alignment Currently the City of Prescott has approved an updated CORP that includes the Coulee River Trail system (see attached Proposed Coulee Trail System). Additionally, the developers of the Great Rivers have come forward with a proposal for a 3rd Addition. As part of all phases of future development moving forward, the City would require that they include and develop the proposed trail system within all subsequent developments. As a result, the City would like to have Cedar Corporation work with Coulee River Trails to develop a best path that finds the lowest cost as it comes out of the development and makes its way southwest into Magee Park. With the Parks Committee’s approval, we would have Cedar Corporation put together a scope of work for giving us that best path so it can be planned for in the future. Current rough layout of Coulee River Trail System within the Great Rivers Development as proposed in the CORP.  B. Great Rivers Park Concept Plan Discussion With the developers of Great Rivers coming forward with a potential proposal for a 3rd Addition the City would like to consider having a concept plan put together for the Great Rivers Park that has been dedicated to the City. Staff would like to talk with Parks Committee about that process and if we would like to have citizen engagement for the planning process. If the City wanted to move forward, we would have Cedar Corporation put together a concept plan for the park based on the items to be included. This planning would then be used for developing a cost estimate for the park, which would be used to budget for its development in the future. C. Resolution of Support Pine Coulee (Zone 4) The City of Prescott had a joint workshop with Oak Grove Township. As part of that workshop a discussion was had regarding the Zone 4 area of the Coulee River Trail system called Pine Coulee. A concept plan was put together for the area (see attached) with Landmark Conservancy putting together an application for a Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program application for acquisition of the area. Landmark Conservancy would like a non- binding resolution of support from the City as part of their application. Recommendation 1. Discuss the Coulee River Trails Alignment in the Great Rivers Development and consider having Cedar Corporation put together a proposal for the best alignment for the trail 2. Discuss putting together a concept plan for the Great Rivers Park 3. Review the Zone 4 Concept Plan for Coulee River Trails and the Resolution of Support from Landmark Conservancy for their application to the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program. Attachments 1.
