Update of Request to Reallocate Cell Tower Rental Fees from Park Property to Park Improvement Fund DATE: November 19, 2015 INTRODUCTION This item is an update in regards to the request by the Park and Recreation Commission to redirect cell tower rental fees from a specific park property (Rose Park) to the Park Improvement Fund. DISCUSSION Attached is a copy of the minutes from the last Park and Recreation Commission meeting of October 22, 2015 regarding Rose Park. Staff has discussed the 2 motions made by the Park Commission with the City Administrator and Finance Department and their responses to the motions made by the Commission are as follows: • In response to the first motion made to recommend the City Council create an additional line item showing that the $15,435 in cell phone revenue has already spent in that park and the remaining fund balance can be relieved for future projects. The City Administrator and Finance Department response is that the City Council action regarding proceeds received from the lease has already been approved and specifically earmarked for Rose Park. For the proceeds from the lease to be used towards the construction of the parking lot would need approval from the City Council since the parking lot was specifically identified to be funded from the Park Improvement Fund. Attached is the February 5, 2014 City Council agenda item, meeting minutes and the approved resolution approving the Lease Agreement at Rose Park. • In response to the second motion made to recommend the City Council to take future revenues from the cell phone towers and place those funds into the Park Improvement Fund. The City Administrator has discussed this in the past with the City Attorney and to meet the "spirit' and "intent' of park dedication guidelines it was determined any proceeds received from any lease agreement should specifically be earmarked for the location of where the cell tower proceeds are generated from. It should also be noted the aforementioned was what was communicated to the neighborhood when the tower was proposed and approved. If the Park and Recreation Commission have any questions regarding the lease agreements and the proceeds that are received from the agreement prior to the meeting, feel free to contact Jim Dickinson, City Administrator /Finance Director. ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to consider replacing the existing picnic shelter at Rose Park. Respectfully submitted, Todd J.

Informational; no action required. DISCUSS PROPOSED PARK PLAYGROUND IMPROVEMENTS /DRAFT NEIGHBORHOOD LETTER AND SURVEY /PINE HILLS SOUTH PARK Chair Stenzel asked if this would be similar to the previous item on the agenda. Mr. Haas explained that the improvements occurring at this park are minimal maintenance items and therefore the neighborhood does not need to be alerted and surveyed. He also noted the proximity to the large park across the street. Informational; no action required. CONSIDER REPLACEMENT OF PICNIC SHELTER AT ROSE PARK /14 -13, CONT. Commissioner Miskowiec suggested that this item be tabled until the clarification on funding is known. Commissioner Lewnau agreed with Commissioner Miskowiec Chair Stenzel stated that the Commission asked the question on the Verizon Tower rental fees received, which appears to be about $15,000. He asked why those funds were not used for the updating. Commissioner Miskowiec stated that the improvements for Rose Park are almost complete. He asked and received confirmation that the decision has been made by the City Council that the funds remain in the park. He commented that perhaps the funds should be placed in the general fund that could fund improvements in other parks as well. Mr. Haas noted that if the funds were placed in the general fund the Commission would have the chance that those funds would be lost. Chair Stenzel stated that the funds could be placed in the park improvement fund. He asked how much funds are in the account for that park at this time as the improvements were under budget. Mr. Haas stated that approximately $50,000 was left over from the improvement project Special Andover Park & Recreation Commission Meeting Minutes — October 22, 2015 Page 6 Chair Stenzel stated that the $15,000 should be considered as already spent on the improvements that occurred and the remaining funds from the improvement project should be made available for future improvements. Line item that the $15,435 has already been spent in that park and the remaining fund balance can be relieved for construction at $65,435 for future projects Motion by Stenzel, seconded by Lindahl, to recommend the City Council create an additional line item showing that the $15,435 in cell phone revenue has already been spent in that park and the remaining fund balance can be relieved for future projects. Motion carried on a 4 -ayes, 0 -nays, 3- absent (Butler, Elstrom and Marinello) vote.

He advised that the parks are open until 11:00 p.m. and are open for public use during that time. Vice Chair Lindahl referenced vehicles parking in the ditch. Commissioner Miskowiec asked why people are not using the north parking lot. Chair Stenzel noted that part of the problem is that there are no lit connection trails from that parking lot.

NPDES (NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM) PRESENTATION & PUBLIC MEETING / 14 -1 Natural Resources Technician Kytonen provided a presentation on the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System ( NPDES) regulations as set forth by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and updated the Council on the inspection process for the City's stormwater infrastructure. © Natural Resources Technician Kytonen reviewed a PowerPoint presentation with the Council and noted there is a requirement to hold a public meeting as part of our storm water permit to receive public feedback. He reviewed the pollutants and maintenance challenges the City has. Councilmember Trude asked if it was typical to see residents mow their lawns close to collection ponds and other outfall utilities in the City. Natural Resources Technician Kytonen explained residents are not allowed to put grass clippings in these collection ponds. He stated this accelerates algae growth and makes filtration less effective. He stated in the case of illicit discharges the source is identified and penalties or fines may be enforced. He stated the City sweeps all the streets twice a year and then sweeps in some areas as needed. He explained the GEO Moose GIS system the City uses and what information is available for all the storm water outfalls in the City. This information is then shared with the Public Works Department so they can determine what maintenance needs to be done. Councilmember Trude clarified that the City employees would be properly identified if they were doing work in residential yards. Natural Resources Technician Kytonen stated in cases where the City is removing trees the resident would be notified prior to the work being done. © Councilmember Howard asked if cameras are used in the inspection process and if elevations are checked.

Discuss Replacement of Existing Equipment and Structures / Parks Facilities Chart DATE: November 19, 2015 INTRODUCTION The Park and Recreation Commission has requested the process of determining the value of an existing structure or piece of equipment to be replaced with any enhancements. DISCUSSION When park items are to be replaced and/or enhanced, the cost of replacing the existing item with the same materials and function will be funded by the Parks Department's operations budget. Any enhancements to the item would be funded by the Park Improvement Fund. For example, an existing shelter constructed of 4 steel corner posts and a steel roof is going to be replaced with a cedar post and beam structure with the posts wrapped in stone. If the price of a new steel structure in similar form is $5,000 (based on quotes or a materials list) and the price of a new cedar structure is $25,000, the Parks Department's operations budget would fund $5,000 and the Park Improvement Fund would pay the difference of $20,000.

DATE: November 19, 2015 INTRODUCTION The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to consider replacing the existing picnic shelter at Rose Park. DISCUSSION This item was tabled from the October 22, 2015 meeting to allow staff to follow up on the funding of the Rose Park shelter. In discussing the repairs that are needed for the shelter with others, it is only the roof that is leaking. The Park Commission has options to just replacing the roof to replacing the entire shelter. If only the roof is to be replaced, the funding can be from either park maintenance funds or proceeds from the lease agreement. If the entire shelter is to be replaced, the cost of the roof would be funded from either park maintenance funds or proceeds from the lease agreement and the remaining portion of the shelter (beams and posts, etc.) could be funded from proceeds from the lease agreement or from park improvement funds since the existing shelter is in good condition. Also any cosmetic improvements (such as adding some rock or brick around the columns) to the shelter would be funded from proceeds from the lease agreement or from park improvement funds. The estimated cost to replace the existing shelter roof is $2,000. The cost to replace the existing structure with a new basic gable shelter similar to what is already there is about $12,000 which does not include the labor to construct it. If the Commission is interested in constructing a shelter similar to what was constructed at Crooked Lake boat access is about $20,000 - $25,000. If the Park and Recreation Commission recommends approval of the existing shelter being replaced, this will be forwarded to the City Council for their consideration. Otherwise if any of the Commissioners have any questions regarding the options to fund the shelter, feel free to contact Lee Brezinka, Assistant Finance Director. BUDGETIMPACT A combination of cell tower lease proceeds, park maintenance funds and /or Park Improvement Fund could be used to construct the shelter depending on which structure the Commission would like to recommend. As of September 30th, $15,435 in lease proceeds are currently available to apply to a specific improvement in Rose Park. ACTION REQUIRED The Park and Recreation Commission is requested to consider the options that have been presented to repair the roof or to replace the existing picnic shelter at Rose Park.
