N/A
BACKGROUND:
At its June 4 meeting, the Board reviewed a proposal submitted by Ryan Jaeger to operate a Tiki Barge from
the Depot Docks. Following discussion, the Board directed that the proposal be forwarded to the City Council
for its consideration and discussion. During its review, the Board identified the following concerns for the City
Council to consider:
• Limited parking availability to serve the Depot Docks.
• Potential noise impacts associated with passenger activity and operation of the Tiki Barge.
• The proposed lease term of five to ten years.
• The nature of the proposed use, which is centered on alcohol consumption.
• The size of the vessel and its compatibility with the Depot Docks.
Staff is requesting formal Board action to recommend either approval or denial of the proposal.
If the Board recommends approval, staff will begin preparing a formal lease agreement with Mr. Jaeger for
consideration by the City Council at a future meeting. If the Board recommends denial, staff will not prepare a
lease agreement. Mr. Jaeger may appeal the Board's recommendation directly to the City Council for its
consideration.

PaddleTap Expansion:
Summary:
PaddleTap is looking to expand its operation for 2027 into Wayzata. Operating one 50 foot Tiki
Boat (2027), that would dock near the depot on your permanent spots (not the floating docks),
along with a smaller tiki hut on land (smaller) for customers to meet up before and after their
cruise. The new boat will/expansion will be called "Wayzata Tiki Barge”or something similar
(will operate as PaddleTap legally-but going to have a unique name to the city area). This will
have its own brand and website.
Lake Minnetonka is missing a large pontoon style boat that can host larger groups. I have done
this for 11 years, and can say many people come back annually to enjoy the lake on a more of a
"pontoon” style vessel. I am limited in group sizes with my current operation only allowing 18-20
guests per vessel. None of my current locations can offer me a slip to meet the size
requirements of a boat this large.
Having a full cash bar on the larger boat will also allow for appeal to corporate and larger
groups. A true turn key operation that's classy all around.
These boats will pass all coast guard standards, and have licensed boat captains, first mate and
a bartender on the vessel. Each boat will hold up to 49 passengers plus its 3 staff for maximum
capacity.
PaddleTaps ownership staff is the perfect operation for expanding to Wayzata With our 11th
season in operation out of Excelsior and Spring Park. We have the industry experience, staff
and understanding to handle the bumps that will occur opening this venture for the short and
long term.

The Partnership:
Page 7 of 52
The successful partnership with Wayzata and PaddleTap will be critical in this expansion for the
business and help bring more people to the wonderful city of Wazyata in a venture nobody else
offers. PaddleTap will need the following:
● Permanent docks near the depot preferred. Due to the size of these vessels floating
docks won't be adequate to store and the safety of all. PaddleTap will be asking for the
city to allow use of its physical docks near the depot.
● Tiki Hut on land for boating operations (small seasonal building)
The Business Plan/Projections-Wayzata Tiki Barge:
The 50 foot Tiki boat will cost $513,000 in total, plus the expense for the Tiki Hut (final
projections to be determined at a later date)
I plan to operate the business from the end of May until the end of September. Which gives me
roughly four months of business. My business plan only utilizes 12 weeks of planning to pay all
expenses and make the business available. The extra months are icing on top.
The plan is to operate a tour that lasts 2 hours on the water. These cruises will go out 4 times a
day. 11:00 AM, 1:30 PM, 4:00 PM, 6:30 PM (sunset cruise), times will vary based on the sunset
schedule during the summer.
Ticket prices will cost $50/ticket plus all the taxes and fees to get on the vessel. Customers will
also be required to purchase drinks on the boat with a cash bar. I anticipate each customer
having 2 drinks each, valued at $15/drink which totals roughly another $30/ spend.
49 Passengers X $80 (ticket spend) = $3,920 for maximum spend/tour. With 4 tours a day
possible revenue is $15,680/day for maximum. My projections below are significantly less to
shoot on the conservative side and past history operating on Lake Minnetonka.
I fully understand that I won't sell out everyday all summer, I do plan to sell out a lot Friday,
Saturday and most of Sunday. With a few weekday cruises for corporate teams.
● I suspect I will run 13 full cruises a week (4 on Saturday, 3 on Sunday, 2 on Friday and 4
during the week), keeping each boat cruise at 30 people (conservative) which would
equal $19,500/week. Having this business run for 12 weeks (June, July, August), we
should do about $234,000 best case per boat in ticket sales, and another $140,400 in
liquor sales. Total Revenue is projected at $374,400. Total customers would be roughly
4,680 and do 156 total tours.
● I estimate a rent payment to the city of $20,000 annually (current boats in Excelsior are
$7,000 for a 25 foot operation. Should estimate probably $15,000 due to the size, but I
know I'll make more money with liquor sales. I want to make this worth it to the city of
Wayzata at a flat $20,000 in total rent which is more than Excelsior.
Page 8 of 52
● 4,680 customers with a "city spend” of another $50/person (getting dinner/lunch before
or after) would generate another $232,500 into the local economy

The Proposal:
Page 9 of 52
As you can see from my projections this will lose money in year one, and mostly break even in
year 2. Year 3 is when things start to get paid back for operations.
PaddleTap/Wayzata Tiki Barge is requesting a 5-10 year lease (to match bank loan terms) with
the city to operate along the water. I propose giving the city a flat rent payment of $20,000, and
adding a per ticket charge of $1/person in addition with anticipation my projections will be higher
than I predict, giving the city a benefit in my success.
Summary of Ask:
● $20,000 annual rent payment with 5-10 year lease
● $1/person ticket charge for every guest I have on the boat (annual bonus paid)
● Use of permanent docks near the depot for safety
● Tiki Hut on land for customer check in and hang out spot for a short before and after
cruise.
● Food/Liquor License to sell on boat and on land
Conclusion:
PaddleTap is extremely excited about the partnership on getting a Tiki Barge in downtown
Wazyata for 2026. Please let me know what questions you have and or ideas on making this
work. My entire goal is to bring the best water experience downtown and help bring back the
city that shaped who I am today.
I look forward to your questions and responses. If you want a formal in person presentation I
can do as such and answer questions on site.

Agenda Report
MEETING DATE: July 14, 2026 AGENDA ITEM: 5.b
TITLE: Park Signage Discussion
PROPOSED MOTION: N/A
PREPARED BY: Nick Kieser, Parks and Environment Planner
REVIEWED BY:
ACTION REQUESTED:
N/A
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
In 2027, the Parks CIP allocates $53,000 for the addition of park signage.
2024-2026 STRATEGIC PLAN PRIORITIES RELEVANCE:
N/A
BACKGROUND:
An upcoming park project scheduled for 2027 includes the development of a comprehensive park signage
plan to install new signage throughout the Wayzata park system.
At a previous Board meeting, the Board expressed a preference for the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sign
option from Vacker Signs. The Board also discussed the appropriate size and potential placement of signage
at each park location.
Attached to the meeting packet is a design proposal from Vacker Signs for the Board’s review. The proposal
provides an opportunity to evaluate the proposed sign dimensions, wording, and overall design. A
corresponding cost estimate for the proposed signage is also included for reference. Reminder, the cost
estimate does not include installation costs. In addition, staff has noted the proposed sign locations as
discussed at the last Board meeting on aerial imagery, which is attached for review.
The Board is requested to review the attached materials and provide any recommended revisions or additional
feedback that staff can communicate to Vacker Signs as the project moves forward.
In addition, a resident has expressed a desire to add signage to the Little Woods to invite people to explore
the area. Any potential signage could be located on Rice Street. The Board can discuss this idea of adding
any signage to this area.

Call to Artist-- Klapprich Park Warming House Mural
Call Description
The City of Wayzata is seeking qualifications and concept proposals from artists for the
design and installation of one permanent mural at the Klapprich Park Warming House,
located at 340 Park Street East, Wayzata, Minnesota 55391. The mural will be installed
directly on an interior/exterior wall of the facility. The total project budget for the mural is
not to exceed $10,000 and is intended to cover all costs associated with the project,
including design, materials, fabrication, installation, and any other related expenses.
Submitted applications will be reviewed by the City of Wayzata and the Public Art
Committee. Following the review process, one artist or artist team will be selected to
complete the mural. In addition to the commissioned work, the selected project will be
promoted through the City of Wayzata’s communication channels and public outreach
efforts.
Artists interested in being considered should submit examples of previously completed
work, along with a design of proposed mural, and a brief narrative describing their
proposed mural concept and its connection to the project site. Work samples will serve as
the primary basis for evaluating each artist’s qualifications, artistic merit, and
demonstrated experience with projects of a similar scale and scope.
Deadline to submit proposal: August 17, 2026 at 8:00 AM
Theme(s):
The general theme identified for the mural is intended to highlight youth, the community ice
rink, and the history of Klapprich Park all in the context of Wayzata. A story regarding
Klapprich Park can be found here. Additional information on demographics or Wayzata in
general can be found in the Comprehensive Plan.
Budget:
The project budget for the Warming House mural will not exceed $10,000. The project
budget to the selected artist(s) is to be used toward project costs, supplies, travel, and
artistic fees as needed. See the Safety and Durability section for flexibility in the overall
budget.
Safety and Durability
Page 42 of 52
Artists should recognize that the mural will be located in a public facility and will be subject
to daily public use, environmental conditions, and the potential for vandalism. The
designated mural wall is located within the Klapprich Park Warming House, a high-traffic
recreational facility that experiences significant wear from hockey skates, hockey
equipment, and general public activity. Artists are encouraged to consider appropriate
materials, coatings, and other protective measures to ensure the long-term durability and
preservation of the artwork.
Additional funding and budget flexibility may be available to support measures that protect
the mural from everyday use and wear. Artists are encouraged to propose creative and
aesthetically integrated durability solutions that help preserve the artwork while
complementing the overall mural concept.
The selected artist will be expected to work collaboratively with City of Wayzata staff
throughout the design and installation process. All artwork must be completed in a timely
manner and comply with City requirements to ensure that the final installation is safe,
durable, and appropriate for public display.
Mural Location and Dimensions
The mural will be installed on an interior drywall wall within the Klapprich Park Warming
House. The wall measures approximately 31 feet in length and 12 feet 10 inches in height.
The mural will begin 4 feet above the floor and extend to a height of 8 feet 10 inches,
resulting in a total mural area of approximately 398 square feet.
Site Existing Conditions
The mural surface consists of a blank, white-painted drywall wall. Artists should
incorporate the following site conditions into their design and installation approach:
• The wall contains an inset/indentation located approximately 12 feet 8 inches from
the south end of the wall.
• The mural will begin approximately 4 feet above the floor to minimize wear and tear
resulting from regular use of the warming house.
• A mini split and other wall-mounted mechanical equipment are located at various
points along the wall.
Page 43 of 52
• The selected artist will be responsible for designing the mural to accommodate
existing wall features and obstructions.
Artists are encouraged to visit the site prior to submitting a proposal to better understand
the wall conditions, dimensions, and viewing experience. Photos of the existing site are
also attached.
Selection Criteria
The goal of this mural is to foster a welcoming environment for park users and visitors using
the warming house. Additionally, artists’ submissions will be evaluated to the following
criteria:
- Preference to local artist
- Clear past and present artistic talent
- Designs should reflect the park and skating rink’s diverse user base, including varied
genders, ages, and levels of activity – from competitive sports to casual recreation
- Proposed sketch or design
- A clear and proven plan for ensuring the mural's long-term durability and
maintenance.
- Meeting the theme
