Approve October 28, 2021 Meeting Minutes MOTION by Rosburg, second by Norén and carried to approve the October 28, 2021 meeting minutes with the correction to the meeting dates for the 4th Thursday of the month in item 13. 2. Children’s Memorial Garden Update - Katelyn Baumann (UW Superior) Baumann is an Outreach Program Manager at UW-Superior. As part of a leadership program she participated in, her group worked on a final project which was the idea to build a Children’s Memorial Garden. This garden is dedicated to anyone who grieves the loss of a child regardless of age or reason of passing. The project started in August of 2014 with the official planting in July of 2018 and the brick pathway and plaques being installed in the summer of 2021. Every year new elements have been worked on. The first bricks will start to be engraved this winter with installation in the summer of 2022. The Blooms Brothers will officially adopt the park in summer 2022 and there will be a formal recognition of the park during the week of July 18, 2022. (Final date will be sent out to Commission once set) The brick sponsorship application will be open to anyone to order bricks to be installed the following summer. They hope to sustain the garden through this sponsorship platform. The cost of the brick includes the purchase, engraving, and installation. Scholarships will be offered to those that may not be able to afford to purchase a brick. a. Brick Sponsorship Form Currently, we have 4 bricks ready to be engraved and installed this spring. MOTION by Ledin, second by Rosburg and carried to approve the Brick Sponsorship Order Form. Baumann left at 5:20pm 1 * Attended the meeting virtually 1 Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting January 27, 2021 3. Wild Rice/Goose Management update & presentation - David Grandmaison Grandmaison is the St. Louis River Wild Rice Habitat & Restoration Project Coordinator for the WI DNR. Their goal is to bring wild rice back to the Estuary. They are attempting to restore 275 acres and are targeting 18 different sites. They are doing this through vegetation management, wild rice seeding annually, herbivory (geese) management and annual monitoring to asses and evaluated the impacts of their management actions. They have seeded approximately 60,000 pounds of wild rice in the estuary. They are starting to see some results from the efforts they are putting in. Canada geese continue to pose challenges for the restoration. They have used many different techniques to dissuade geese from eating the rice including exclosures. The exclosures help, but they are limited in how many of these they can use. They did a goose roundup in July of 2021 and were able to remove 187 geese. The geese were humanely euthanized and donated to the Lake Superior Zoo who was able to use them for enrichment for their carnivore program. They are hoping to replicate this effort in summer 2022. Continued monitoring of the area will guide what is done going forward. Councilor Ledin asked how they can determine how many geese they can round up and how they determine roundups are no longer needed. Grandmaison said that there is a take permit that allows for a certain number of geese statewide. He works closely with them to determine the number to be taken. Eventually the rice gets to the density where roundup does not need to be done every year. This is the best year they have seen for growth in the estuary so they are seeing results from years of seeding and being diligent on some of the sites herbivory management. Rain and drought can also affect growth of the rice. Grandmaison will also present to the Wisconsin Point Committee but is also looking for support from this Commission to continue utilizing City sites for access during 2022 round-up efforts. MOTION by Kern, second by Norén and carried to approve continuing the partnership with the Wisconsin DNR in the estuary. Grandmaision left at 5:40pm. 4. Naming Recommendation Millennium Trail Bike Loop #1 – “Senior Slide” We received only one public comment during the public comment period in support of the name. Per the naming policy, the name then comes to the Parks and Recreation Commission and then to City Council for final approval. Members thought that the name was appropriate as it was suggested by Henry Campbell who spearheaded and worked on creating this new trail. The volunteer team can plan some sort of formal event announcing the trail if they wish. MOTION by Ledin, second by Rosburg and carried to approve naming the Millennium Trail Bike Loop #1 “Senior Slide”. 2 Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting January 27, 2021 5. CIP Project Recommendations a. The next 5 years of parks Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) were removed. The ARPA has budgeted $2.25M - $1M specific for Woodstock Bay, $1.25M for other projects and $100K for the tree fund. Cadotte shared the draft of the projects being proposed for the next five years. Councilor Kern asked for an update on Woodstock Bay. Currently we are working on some design modifications right now. Director Cadotte was asked to have the Starry Skies group look over the plan and have an engineer verify that the fixtures and lighting fall within their guidelines. Starry skies does not have specific guidelines yet so it is more of a review process. Also, with the wetland permitting and storm water solid suspensions, looking at putting a retaining pond where field of trees was going to be. What was planned to put out for bid would not include the pathways around or some of the lookouts. It will include the pavilion, parking areas, water access, improved access for ice fishing, and the vault restroom and storm water treatments. Looking at replacing some of the trees with some wetland plants to help treat water. The project was initially projected at $1.4M with everything, not including the boardwalk through the wetland across the road. We are hoping to come in at $1.25M. If not, that will also push some other upgrades. We have $150K from a Wisconsin Coastal Management Grant to put towards this project as well. Director Cadotte shared a list of the potential CIP projects and there was brief discussion. This will come back to the Committee in March for further consideration and final approval. MOTION by Ledin, second by Rosburg and carried to table this item until the March meeting. 6. Director and Superintendent’s Reports a. Recreational Grant letters went out to anyone who received a grant from 2019 – 2021. There will be two meetings in March, the first of which will be to review the applications and the second to consider approval of the recommendations. At this time, there is no plan to have presentations by the applicants. The budget for 2022 is $70K which is $10K less than 2021. b. Cadotte was approached by an Eagle Scout about a project to do benches along the Makwa Ziibiins Miikana Trail. They will be the Leopold style similar to the bench out there. There will be about a dozen. Van Sickle left at 6:12pm. c. Ski Passes – overall numbers are extremely high right now. It is very busy on the trails. d. It has been a challenge to find enough people to staff the warming sheds. The Human Resources Committee approved allowing two 16 or 17 year olds to pair up at one rink versus only being able to higher people 18 and up. This will apply to the playground program as well. The pay rate was increased as well from around $11 to $15 per hour. 3 Parks and Recreation Commission Meeting January 27, 2021  e. Pickle Pond we are getting much closer to the transfer of property from BNSF to the City. Looking at vegetated buffer doing a transitional planting and clearing in that area. Likely will not happen until next year. Hopeful the railroad will get this completed so we retain funding for this project. f. Behlings – Ice rinks look good, flooding amounts are down due to cold temps so water use will be down. They installed a plastic liner at Billings Park to see how that works. It did create some challenges so the ice is thicker on one end than the other but it did save some time in setup. g. The sidewalk plowing program has been going smoothly this year. h. The Parks Crew is now fully staffed for the first time in a couple of years! i. Lake Superior Ice Festival this weekend – come out and enjoy! www.LakeSuperiorIceFestivval.com 7. The next meeting will be March 17, 2022 at 5pm in Room 204 of the Government Center.

I believe the park could benefit by having an additional sign closer to the playground equipment and another additional sign located at the entrance of the skating area. By first glance it may appear that smoking is only prohibited in the pavilion of the park. Additional Notes Allouez Park and Billings Park both have signs located on the restroom which without reading the sign may appear that one is not allowed to smoke solely in the restroom instead of the restroom and by the outdoor equipment. I found it effective how Allouez had an additional sign at the entrance of the playground equipment to clarify that the policy is also enforced near playground equipment and believe Billings Park could benefit from a similar sign at the entrance of the playground. Superior Smoke-Free Outdoor Spaces Key Informant Interviews Report Superior Smoke-Free Parks – January 2022 1 Interviewees Brent Fennessy, Superior City Councilor Nick Ledin, Superior City Councilor Pat McKone, American Lung Association Kelly Wiisansen, Superior Public Library Nikky Farmakes, Douglas Superior Chamber Member David Kroll, Parks and Recreation Commission Member and Assistant Professor at University of Wisconsin – Superior Linda Cadotte, Parks, Recreation & Forestry Director Nicholas Alexander, Superior Chief of Police Questions Asked 1.
