SUBJECT45. Andover Community Center (ACC) 3rd Quarter Update
DATE: November 18, 2021
31 Ouarter 2021 FINANCIAL UPDATE
Attached for Commission review is a Community Center Budget Summary Report for Budget
Year 2021. The report reflects activity through September 2021, comparative data with September
2020 and audit data reflecting the entire year of 2020.
As the Commission well knows, the year 2020 was a difficult year, in part because of the expansion
construction, but heavily with imposed COVID restrictions shutting down the entire facility mid -
March of 2020 and then finally allowed to reopen in a restricted capacity early January 2021. The
ACC has now been operating for six months since the reopening, thus making the current year
(2021) activities difficult to compare with only the first three months of 2020 containing full
operations. Now reporting September 2021, comparative data with 2020 is difficult to compare
due to the State imposed 2020 COVID shutdowns of the facility.
The actuals through September 2021 when compared to the 2021 Budget are favorable relative to
revenues as we enter the fall busy season, expenditures as well are favorable.
Also provided is an ACC historical perspective of actual costs dating back to 2015. This is the
reporting previously provided to the ACC Advisory Commission. This report also provides history
on debt service payments and the property tax levy assigned to debt and operation.
November 2021 FACILITY UPDATE
Please refer to the attached ACC Facility Update for Major Events. Walking track activity through
September is identified as well.
ACC has a full fall/winter schedule for the 2021-22 Prime Season and does fine-tune the
schedule as facility users may release times. Efforts are on -going to fill non -Prime hours, ACC is
working with various groups to fill the non -prime hours before school all fall/winter long, as well
as filling 2022 Spring and Summer availability.
Other ACC HighUghts:
- The transition throughout September from summer camps and clinics back to primarily evening
and weekends. Andover Youth Hockey conducted tryouts. Teams were selected late-
September/early-October and games started mid -October. Both the Andover High School hockey
teams (Boys & Girls) have started their practices with the regular season kicking off in early -
November.
-ACC's Learn to Skate programs started on October 2"d, we are close to filling the max of 88
participants.
-The fieldhouse is currently offering daytime pickleball and basketball along with the after -
school program where ACC partners with the YMCA to deliver service. Evenings in the
fieldhouse are a mixture of open basketball, pickleball and volleyball. ACC continues to host the
Anoka/Hennepin Mustangs Adaptive program in our gyms. The Youth Basketball and Volleyball
seasons will start up in late October and run thru March. ACC's Youth Indoor Soccer program
started October 0, and that program is anticipated to fill with a max of 118 participants.
-Subway has elected to not renew their next 3-year option for the concessions space. ACC and
City Administration are exploring options to fill the space as Subway exited at the end of
October.
-Continual work on the 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the proposed 2022 ACC
Operating Budget along with a detailed ACC Fee review was done. Fees were update at the
September 7d' regular City Council meeting.
Senior & Teen Programming
The City continues to work with the YMCA on more programming now that there is dedicated
space for seniors and teens.
-Senior activities at the YMCA have taken off, to the level the current dedicated space is often not
enough. The City/YMCA are exploring opportunities to utilize the City Hall Senior Center for
additional programs, current staffing challenges have limited progress.
-The YMCA has restarted the after -school program, ACC and the YMCA are working through the
challenges, again current staffing challenges have limited progress.
-YMCA discussions are under way for additions to teen programming into the evenings this fall.
Discussions with four local churches exploring partnerships to provide weekend night drop off
opportunities continues.
ACTION REQUESTED
Administration will review the staff report and discuss the attached reports with the Commission
at the meeting.

SUBJECT: 6. Consider 2021-2022 Hockey Rink Schedule
DATE: November 18, 2021
This item is to consider the 2021-2022 hockey rink schedule for the upcoming season.
DISCUSSION
Attached is the application from the Andover Huskies Youth Hockey Association (AHYHA).
Anoka, Coon Rapids and St. Francis Youth Hockey Associations have been aware that rinks are
available for them to reserve but over the past few years none of them have applied since they
have their own outdoors rinks that they use. Attached is the proposed schedule and the rinks that
AHYHA plan on using for the 2021-2022 season. Currently, AHYHA will be providing
warming house attendants on Monday's, Tuesday's and Thursday's at City Hall Outdoor
Complex #1, Crooked Lake School and Prairie Knoll Park. The City will be providing warming
house attendants on Wednesday's, Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's for these same locations.
At Hawkridge Park the City will be providing warming house attendant 7 days a week
throughout the season.

that is 15.0 kids which over 95% live in the City of Andover

• The grievance procedures are documented in the association's policies and
procedures manual

larger group of participants/spectators are expected. The company that is hired or the
association members that will be working the tournament or event must always use the
required MNDOT approved reflective vests. Parking attendants will be responsible to contact
the Anoka County Sheriffs Department when there is a conflict/issue/concern with parking.
Note: The association or applicant shall provide other alternatives/options in writing to the City for
approval which details how the parking operations for the season will not impact the
park/facilities and/or the area residents in which the parking attendant requirements could
potentially be waived.
Please provide parking operations alternatives/options here

SUBJECT: 8.Outstanding Items
DATE: November 18, 2021
Issues list as of 11 /08/21
COMPLETED PROJECTS —
• Wild Iris Park Playground Equipment Replacement -The remaining items for the playground
arrived and the project is complete.
ON -GOING PROJECTS -
• Update of Andover Community Center Quarterly Report— Item is on the agenda. (City
Administrator Dickinson)
• Bike Youth/Frail.— The trail is ready for use by the public. The signage for the rules/guidelines
and direction of travel are close to being completed by Parks Maintenance staff. The trail
entrance is located on the east side of the wooded area by the existing paved trail and south
parking lot area in Sunshine Park. To make the trail more challenging and attractive to the bikers,
Public Works will be looking at providing more jumps and dips this fall. At this point, the trail is
not getting much use.
• Rose Park Playground Improvements (2022) — Neighborhood committee is being contacted
and a meeting with the committee scheduled.
• Prairie Knoll Park Playground Improvements (2022) —Neighborhood committee is being
contacted and a meeting with the committee scheduled.
• Strootman Park (2022) — The neighborhood committee was sent several playground options that
would fit in the available space. A follow-up email was sent to see if they have a final choice yet.
Waiting for a response from the committee.
ON -HOLD PROJECTS — None at the time.
OTHER ITEMS OFINTEREST —
• Update of Pedestrian Trails:
❖ 2024 or Beyond -- Kelsey Round Lake Park Trail. The reconstruction of the trail will
most likely be pushed out for reconstruction for another 3-5 years. Staff met with
the MN DNR staff recently to evaluate the condition of the existing boardwalk and
the trail. The DNR representative indicated that the boardwalk and trail are beyond
repair and indicated that both would be eligible for a DNR funding by applying for
an Outdoor Recreation Grant. Staff would recommend applying for the funding for
the boardwalk as part of this winter's grant applications round in early 2022
(construction would be in 2023). The trail replacement could be applied for in
early winter of 2023 or 2024 since most likely only one application would be
awarded at a time and not in the same year. Also, by applying for grants in
different years, the City can determine how they would fund both projects at part
of the 5-year Capital Improvement Plan since the City will be responsible for a
portion of the matching grant for the reconstruction.
❖ Tom Anderson Trail Update — The trail along Coon Creek back open after the
installation of Coon Creek Trunk Sanitary Sewer Lift Station #11 just east of
Hanson Boulevard NW.
South Coon Creek Improvements — The Coon Creek Watershed District will be
working on improvements to the creek along the Tom Anderson trail throughout
the winter. There will be one small section of trail closed for this project that they
will be using as their access point. The closed trail section is off 141 u Ave between
Vale St and Xeon St. The connection from the main east/west trail and 141' Ln
will be the only section closed.
• Update of Scheduling Park and Recreation Commission meeting at a City Park or Facility —
The Commission will need to consider a park to meet in 2022.
If you have any questions or comments regarding any of the items mentioned above or any items
relating to parks or projects, feel free to contact Jason Baumunk or Dave Berkowitz at the City.
Staff recommends the Commission continue reviewing the City Council meeting minutes that you
receive by e-mail as to discussions of various projects the City Council has been working on or is
considering.
• Update on Great River Greening Grant -Funding for invasive species management.
The City received a grant with Great River Greening (GRG), as a part of a multi -partner, Metro Big
Rivers partnership under the Outdoor Heritage fund. The grant will help fund habitat improvement
efforts at Strootman Park and Timber Rivers Park. GRG works with government agencies to acquire
grants and complete these types of projects.
There are portions of Strootman and Timber Rivers Parks that would benefit from management.
Invasive species like buckthorn threaten the integrity of the properties. Thus, by taking appropriate
measures, these invasives can be knocked back and additional planting of indigenous plant material
can occur. The project will focus on but not be limited to applicable management in the upland,
floodplain, and woodland areas, consisting primarily of spot spraying, prescribed burning, cutting,
planting and overseeding to manage invasive species and increase diversity.
The grant is in the amount of $93K and expires in June of 2025. The City will contribute $6K cash
and in -kind time over the course of the project.
Note: If you have any items that you would like to add to the list, let me know at the meeting.
