Parks, and Public Works Committee Meeting Minutes
January 17th, 2023
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a meeting of the Parks, and Public Property
Committee was held, January 17th, 2023, Municipal Building, 800 Borner Street,
Prescott, Wisconsin 54021. The meeting was called to order at 5:05 pm
Committee Present: Bailey Ruona (arrived late), Pat Knox, John Peterson
Committee Absent: None.
Staff Present: City Administrator Matt Wolf, Planner Carter Hayes, Public Works Director Mike
Kinneman
Others Present: Fairy Wonderlands Group, Greg and Cole Adams of Cedar Corporation,
Prescott Pickleball Group, Members of the public.
1. Approve Minutes for November 21st, 2022.
Knox motioned to approve the minutes for November 21st, 2022. Peterson
seconded; motion passed without a negative voice (2-0).
2. Public Works Items
A) USH 10 & STH 35 Project Discussion
WDOT was originally scheduled to be present at the meeting. Cedar Corporation
drafted a layout of the proposed trail corridor adjacent to HWY 35. Greg Adams of
Cedar Corporation presented information regarding the trail corridor along HWY 35.
Cedar Corporation proposes narrowing travel lanes and moving the Eastern curb inward
toward the road to increase space available for the trail along the road. Narrowing of the
travel lanes will also encourage drivers to drive at a more appropriate speed along the
stretch of roadway. The proposed trail corridor provides more connectivity of pedestrian
modes of transportation to other amenities within Prescott.
The required maintenance agreement with WDOT is also into question with this project.
The committee does not favor signing an agreement to maintain a roadway (mainly curb
and gutter) that is not of good repair. The city would be expected to maintain all
elements of the ROW outside of the travelled lanes.
The total cost of the Cedar proposal for the trail is approximately $400,000 whereas the
original WDOT proposal totaled $1.2 million.
1
The Committee looked to propose 2 options, one with a trail stretching the entire way to
Magee Park, and a lesser option where the trail stops at Monroe Street.
B) Locust Street Design Review and Discussion
Cedar Corporation has put together a draft concept plan that was shared with residents
of the street as part of a community meeting on January 4 at 5:00 pm. The committee
discussed adding a sidewalk, a bid alternative for street signage, streetlight inclusion,
and adding the Orange street lot to the project and adding potential under-road heating
systems to Orange Street.
Cedar Corporation presented information regarding the Locust Street Design.
Committee member Ruona requested to look into the type of lighting that Xcel provides
for the streets. It was also expressed to look into the under-road heating for the three
steep hills that Prescott has.
It was stressed from Committee Member Ruona that there are numerous trees being
removed. Cedar Corporation added that many of the trees are unwell in health, and they
can be replaced with new trees.
C) Well #4 Generator
The City of Prescott currently does not have a generator back-up for Well #4, which is
our largest well currently operating within the City. In discussing with CBS Squared as
part of the design work for Well #3 they have recommended a generator be added to
this well, which was included in the 2023-2030 Capital Improvement Plan. The
generator will serve as an emergency power back-up for the well system.
City Administrator Matt Wolf presented information regarding a backup generator for
Well #4. DPW Director Mike Kinneman explained that an emergency generator could be
available for “on-call” if we were to need it immediately. A new generator would cost
$57,405.
Committee member Ruona motioned to move the matter to Council; Peterson
seconded. Motion passed without a negative voice (3-0).
D) 541 Linn Street – Utility Bill Reduction
The City of Prescott currently uses a program called READY (READ-ie) for quarterly
readings to determine water usage for utility bills. The current meters the City uses have
the ability to tell if there is continuous flowing water through the meter within a home. If
this occurs the system flags this meter as a “leak”.
City Administrator Matt Wolf presented information regarding the utility bill reduction.
541 Linn Street experienced high than normal water bills and discovered a leak in the
water system at the home. Committee Member Peterson asked how the City can
prevent this in the future to which City Administrator Wolf responded saying there will be
2
a letter going out to all properties that are of the “leak” status in the READY system. The
leak 541 Linn Street was fixed and a reduction in the bill was requested.
The committee discussed updating the reading system to be able to read the entire city
on demand, rather than a radio frequency being read from a vehicle.
Committee Member Ruona motioned to require payment of the 3rd quarter billing
rather than the 4th quarter billing. Knox seconded; motion passed without a
negative voice (3-0).
3. Parks Items
A) Fairy Wonderland Discussion
Members of the Fairy Wonderland organization will be present to give an update on the
current work and discuss upcoming additional phases.
The Fairy Wonderlands group is working on Phase 2 of the park. The request that the
bathrooms building, and parking be added to the budget for the park updates by the
City. Committee Member Ruona explained that a general project timeline would be
helpful to plan the improvements of the Park. The group explained a better picture of the
timeline would come in during the Spring when grant funding is secured.
B) Proposed Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Amendments
Staff is pursuing Knowles-Nelson stewardship funds for the Magee Park Renovation
Project for 2024. As a part of the requirements for the grant, the project must be listed in
the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP). Staff also is of the opinion that
an update of all the “recommendations” per park in the Chapter 6 Park and Recreational
Inventory should be completed.
Planner Carter Hayes presented information regarding the proposed amendments.
Committee Member Ruona mentioned changing the verbiage to multi-recreational trail
rather than “hiking trail” in one of the recommendations.
Committee Member Ruona motioned to approve the proposed CORP
Amendments. Knox seconded; motion passed without a negative voice (3-0).
C) Pickleball Courts Proposal – Public Square
In the last meeting discussing Public Square Pickleball, staff presented various cost
estimates regarding 4 courts and other improvements to Public Square Park. Staff and
the Prescott Pickleball Group discussed reducing the scope to 2 courts to decrease
cost, which was approved as part of the 2023 budget.
Planner Carter Hayes presented information regarding the Pickleball Court updates.
The City has received numerous proposals for pickleball courts. Most recently from Fred
Kolkmann, although going with Fred Kolkmann would cause the City to be overbudget
of approximately 15-20% for the project. Cedar Corporation is willing to create a basic
3
bid package that would hopefully bring the project cost back into budget with
competitive bids. The committee decided that, when a bid proposal from Cedar
Corporation is received, that it will move straight to Council for approval.
4. Other Business
A) Council Workshop – January 23rd at 5:00 PM. – Downtown paid parking.
5. Adjourn
Ruona motioned to adjourn. Peterson seconded; motion passed without a
negative voice (3-0) at 7:12 pm
The next Parks Committee meeting will be February 20th, 2023.
Respectfully Submitted,
Carter Hayes

Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a meeting of the Parks, and Public Property
Committee was held, November 21st, 2022, Municipal Building, 800 Borner Street,
Prescott, Wisconsin 54021. The meeting was called to order at 5:03 PM.

2. Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan Review
The Committee will be reviewing the individual park recommendations found
within the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (CORP).
City Administrator Wolf presented information regarding the CORP review. The
committee reviewed each park individually to see if updates to the CORP are
necessary moving forward.
• An added restroom building and parking lot to St. Croix Bluffs
Neighborhood Park is not in the capital improvement plan but is requested
by individuals in the community. A desire to add items to the CORP was
conveyed by the committee, but a lack of accountable funding is a
concern. The committee is seeking a plan from the Fairy Wonderlands
group to determine a timeline to add a restroom facility and parking lot to
St. Croix Bluffs Park.
• At the Canoe and Kayak Launch, the committee discussed removing the
suggestion to add parking from the CORP, as it seems infeasible to
complete on Lake Street.
• At the Prescott Beach, the committee favored the construction of a fence
on the South riprap as a priority to complete.
1
• Committee member Ruona discussed removing the suggestion of
constructing an amphitheater at Mercord Mill Park, as there is one at
Freedom Park already.
• The Committee sought to start conversations on the renovation of the boat
launch and Jacques Park in January.
• Freedom Park improvements are factored into the capital improvement
plan in 2023.
• Committee member Ruona suggested removing the dog park from the
CORP recommendations at Magee Wilderness Park. The Committee
favored moving Pierce County recycle receptacles to a different location.
• Public Square Park has a plan, not in the CORP, to add pickleball courts
and repair other aspects of the park. The Committee suggested not
surfacing the basketball court, but rather patching the cracks in the court
to save costs on the project and allocate funding to other large items in the
plan.
• The committee looked at removing some of the improvements at Sunset
Park.
• The committee suggested moving the former playground equipment from
St. Croix Bluffs Park to Shane Park.
3. 2022 Escrow Funds Discussion
For the 2022 Budget, the City for the first time assigned $50,000 to a Parks
Escrow Fund. Similarly, to the Roadway Supplies with Public Works that is
assigned for the general maintenance of roads throughout the community. These
funds are meant for general maintenance of parks and for future expansion of
parks items.
City Administrator Wolf presented information regarding the 2022 Escrow Fund.
Looking at the costs of some items requested for Parks, Committee member
Ruona suggested waiting on adding the water fountain ($16,000) to Freedom
Park due to the cost but moving forward with the other proposed items.
Committee Member Ruona motioned to bring forward the expenditures
from the escrow fund to council. Knox seconded; motion passed without a
negative voice vote (2-0).
4. Paid Parking
At the September 21st Council Workshop, staff presented information regarding
paid parking in the downtown area. Questions that arose from the workshop
included exempting Prescott residents and employees from parking fees, how to
implement a parking permit system, and costs of the associated parking meters
that would be required. Staff has since been involved in multiple meetings with
paid parking specialists and companies to determine if there is a solution right for
our downtown.
2
City Planner Carter Hayes presented information regarding paid parking in the
downtown area.
The Committee favored paid parking as a means to alleviate the residents of
Prescott by adding an additional revenue stream and not relying on raising taxes.
With Park Mobile as the application, the Committee favored Option 2 which was
physical parking permits.
The Committee furthermore favored IPS Group’s solution of metered parking with
stereoscopic sensors as it would be less taxing on staff to maintain and enforce
the metered system, while also capturing a higher amount of revenue.
Tom Oss presented the idea of using paid parking revenue for the business area
to improve the infrastructure and downtown.
Committee Member Ruona mentioned the additional projects and burdens the
City will have to take on in the future, such as well projects, and that adding
additional revenue would help immensely.
Committee Member Knox mentioned a potential issue was how to manage
motorcycle parking. Staff added that the issue will have to be investigated further
to determine a workable solution.
The Committee and Staff agreed that a public council workshop on the
matter will be necessary in the future to determine the next steps.
5. Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund
The Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Fund was created in 1989 to preserve
important natural communities, protect water quality and fisheries, and expand
opportunities for outdoor recreation (WDNR). Local governments are able to
apply for 4 stewardship grants and 2 federal programs that are administered by
the DNR. Applications must be received or postmarked by 11:59 PM on May 1st
to be considered.
City Planner Carter Hayes presented information regarding the Knowles-Nelson
stewardship fund and grants for the Magee Park renovation project. Committee
Member Ruona mentioned a potential stipulation of hunting on the land, which is
sometimes a requirement with Knowles-Nelson projects.
The Committee favored moving forward with applications to the Knowles-
Nelson Stewardship Grants.
6. National Fitness Campaign (NFC) Fitness Court
The City of Prescott was approached by the National Fitness Campaign as a
potential suitor for a fitness court in the City of Prescott. In speaking with NFC
3
representatives, they highlighted three parks in the City that could be considered
for an NFC grant towards the construction of a Fitness Court. The three parks
mentioned were Freedom Park, Magee Park, and Jacques Park. Due to various
budget limitations, 2024 or 2025 could be potential years to target. The use of
TIF District #4 funds would be possible for Jacques Park or Freedom Park.
City Planner Carter Hayes presented information regarding the NFC Fitness
Court. Funding was the most difficult hurdle for initiating this project. It was
determined that funding would not be available for a Fitness Court in the City of
Prescott.
The Committee decided to not move forward with grant applications for an
NFC Fitness Court.
7. Other Business
Prescott Pickleball Group were present to ask about the pickleball project at
Public Square Park. The question pertained to the number of courts that would
be available for construction in 2023. The City is committed to concrete courts to
keep the future maintenance costs low. Due to that commitment, the current plan
is to fund 2 pickleball courts with the option to add 2 more in the future. Staff will
have additional conversation on the future of the pickleball and tennis courts.
8. Adjourn
Knox motioned to adjourn. Ruona seconded; motion passed without a negative
voice vote (2-0) at 6:42 pm
There will be no Parks Committee Meeting in the month of December. The next
Parks Committee meeting will be January 16th, 2023.

Carter Hayes

Subject: Locust Street Design Review and Discussion
Discussion
Cedar Corporation has put together a draft concept plan that was shared with residents of the
street as part of a community meeting on January 4 at 5:00 pm. As a result, staff would like to
discuss with the Committee the following items:
1. The addition of a sidewalk the full extent of the road as a bid alternative due to cost
savings found elsewhere in the project.
2. A street sign bid alternative proposal
3. Streetlight inclusion in the project
4. The City would like to include the Mill and Overlay of Orange Street in the bid along
with the Orange Street parking lot. As a result, the City would like to discuss with
the Committee if there is any interest in looking into under-road heating systems to
keep the steep hills found on Orange, Cherry, and Kinni ice free in the winter similar
to those systems found in Stillwater.
A large-scale concept plan will be shared with the Committee the night of the meeting with
changes based on feedback provided from the Community Meeting and the Health and Safety
Committee.
Recommendation
Discuss Locust Street Design and offer feedback

Subject: 541 Linn Street – Utility Bill
Background
The City of Prescott currently uses a program called READY (READ-ie) for quarterly readings
to determine water usage for utility bills. The current meters the City uses have the ability to
tell if there is continuous flowing water through the meter within a home. If this occurs the
system flags this meter as a “leak”.
Discussion
The property at 541 Linn Street historical from March 31, 2020 to June 30, 2022 has used
between 7,000 to 13,000 gallons a quarter. During the September 2022 or 3rd quarter billing
period the home had a reading of 27,000 gallons and the system flagged the property as a
“leak”. As of the 4th quarter reading for 2022 the property had a reading of 180,000 gallons
and was flagged for a “leak”. This resulted in their bill increasing from the 3rd to 4th quarter
from $351.04 to $1,250.64. The City notified the property owner of the detection at the
beginning of January 2023 and they found a leak in their water heater that resulted in the water
running none stop, which is being repaired.
The owner is requesting a reduction in their utility bill as a result of the leak. Staff would like
the Committee to consider the reduction. Moving forward anytime the City receives a leak
notification in READY we will be either sending a letter to the property owner or having a
member of Public Works talk to the property owner.
Recommendation
Discuss the request for reduction of the utility bill at 541 Linn Street

PLOT DATE: 2/17/2022 11:49 PM D:\ARCMAP\Prescott\ZONE3\dwg\CONCEPT DRAWING 3rd DRAFT.dwg
To: Parks & Public Property Committee
From: Carter Hayes, Planner
Date: January 12th, 2023
Subject: Public Square Pickleball Update
Background
In the last meeting discussing Public Square Pickleball, staff presented various cost estimates
regarding 4 courts and other improvements to Public Square Park. Staff and the Prescott Pickleball
Group discussed reducing the scope to 2 courts to decrease cost, which was approve as part of the
2023 budget.
Since meeting with the Prescott Pickleball Group, staff has received a proposal from Fred Kolkmann
Tennis & Sport Surfaces LLC to design, construct and build the courts. Staff met with Mr. Kolkmann
on November 4th, 2022, to discuss pickleball court construction in Public Square Park. Mr. Kolkmann
and his team have served as unofficial consultants during the planning part of the project. The
proposal offers some guarantees and warranty in the end product as well as Mr. Kolkmann and his
team acting as a project manager to make certain the construction is meeting quality standards.
Items included in the proposal are:
1) Excavate area to 15" below final grade - material to be distributed on site
2) Install a geotextile fabric and 10" of stone base
3) Install 2 - 10 mil vapor barriers
4) Install 5" post-tensioned concrete slab
5) Install fencing
6) Install color coating
7) Landscape courts
The City of Prescott would perform items 1, 2, 3, 5
Items 1-7: $85,000-$100,000
Design: $8,000
Inspection Services: $10,000
Discussion
If the City were to contract with Kolkmann Sport Surfaces, the project would be estimated at 15-20%
over the budget of $140,000. Staff recently discussed with Cedar Corporation, in which Cedar
Corporation is willing to create a bid package to potentially attract competitive bids and lower total
project cost. This would include having the bids submitted give cost details for both concrete and
asphalt courts. Allowing the City to determine which method to move forward with based on pricing.
Recommended Park Committee Actions
Discuss bid/contract options moving forward.
