SUBJECT: 4. Consider 2010-2011 Hockey Rink Schedule
DATE: November 18, 2010
INTRODUCTION
This item is in regard to considering the 2010-2011 hockey rink schedule.
DISCUSSION
To date the City has only received an application from the Andover Huskies Youth
Hockey Association (AHYHA). Anoka, Coon Rapids and St. Francis Youth Hockey
Associations were notified that rinks were available for them to reserve. Only Coon
Rapids Youth Hockey Association responded and they indicated that they were not
interested in using any of the Andover rinks for upcoming season (staff never heard
back from the other 2 associations). Attached is the proposed schedule and the rinks
that they plan on using for the 2010-2011 season. The schedule is different this year
compared to last year due to the addition of the 2 new City Complex outdoor rinks. As
you can see from the attached schedule, AHYHA will be responsible to provide
supervision (either a coach or member of the association) on Monday's, Tuesday's and
Thursday's from 4 pm until 8:30 pm on each of those nights at 3 of the facilities. The
City will be providing a warming house attendant at Hawkridge Park for the days of the
week that are normally open. All rinks are closed on Wednesday's except during
Christmas break. All rinks will be open on Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's. The City
will provide staffing on these days.

field) /10-21 - Engineering
DATE: November 18, 2010
INTRODUCTION
This item is in regards to the Andover High School installing a scoreboard at Eveland Fields for
the varsity field (south field).
DISCUSSION
Attached is a letter from the Andover High school formally notifYing the City of Andover of the
improvement and the donation. Andover High School will be providing most of the manpower
to install the scoreboard (most of the work is already completed). The Public Works Department
helped in delivering the scoreboard and setting the scoreboard on the steel posts. The scoreboard
is pretty much the same scoreboard that was installed at Sunshine Park ball fields.
ACTION REQUIRED
The Park Conunission is requested to consider recommending to the City Council the donation of
the scoreboard from Andover High School.

Re: Donation of Softball Scoreboard at Eveland Field
Dear Mr. Haas:
The purpose of this letter is to inform the City of Andover that Andover High School has
purchased a scoreboard for the varsity softball field at Eveland Field. We would like to donate
this scoreboard to the city with the understanding that our team will use this during the school
year just as it uses the field itself. During the summer/non-school year, the city is obviously
welcome to use the scoreboard as well.
This scoreboard will be a welcome addition to Eveland Field. It will help improve the overall
atmosphere of games played there. In addition, this will help compliment the new scoreboards
that have been installed at Sunshine Park to "round out" the parks environment.
I would also like to take this time to gently remind the City that they (along with the Andover
Athletic Association) have agreed to make a donation to Andover High School Activities in the
amount of $4000. Any progress toward completing this donation would be greatly appreciated.
It has been a pleasure to work cooperatively with the City. I look forward to a continued
supportive relationship in future years. If you have any further questions, I would be happy to
answer them. I can be reached at eric.lehtola@anoka.kI2.mn.us or 763-506-8420.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: 6. Update Skate Park Improvements/OS-OS
DATE: November 18,2010
INTRODUCTION
This item is an update in regards to the skate park.
DISCUSSION
There are two items of interest in regards to the skate park. They are as follows:
. Attached is a copy of the most current layout of the skate park based on input from the Skate
Park Task Force and the youth skate boarders. The drawing includes a modification to the fun
box as suggested by the skate boarders.
. The second item is in regard to the status of the quotes for the concrete. The City Engineer is
currently reviewing them but at this point it appears that the City has received very good quotes.
As soon as the quotes are reviewed, staff will forward to the Park Commission as an e-mail or
place the quotes on the next agenda.
As a reminder, once the skate park slab has been constructed and before the equipment is placed, the City
Council will meet on site to review and determine if trees and/or brush will be removed.
BUDGET IMPACT
The . approved budget for the skate park (equipment, concrete slab, trail access to the site and the
refurbishing of the existing wedge and quarter pipe) equipment is $70,000.
ACTION REOUlRED
No action is requested as this an update item only.

*In addition to the extra patrol effort our office is doing at the Crooked Lake Boat

advising them to remove valuables from vehicles and to report suspicious
people/vehicles to 911. Is this landing used for ice fishing too? Laura....

FROM: Todd J. Haas, Asst. Public Works Director
SUBJECT: 10. Discuss Use of Fields & Maintenance Concerns - Public Works
DATE: November 18,2010
INTRODUCTION
Chairman Butler has requested to place use of fields and maintenance concerns on the agenda based on
a request from Commissioner Kowalewski.
DISCUSSION
Commissioner Kowalewski will discuss this further with the Commission at the meeting. Just as a
reminder to the Commission, Public Works staff has already notified both the Andover Area Lacrosse
Association and North Metro Soccer Association that the fields at Prairie Knoll Park will not be
available until May 30, 2011 at the earliest due to the wear and tear of the southwest and southeast
fields from the football and a some from the lacrosse program. If the City has a better than average
spring, there might be a chance that the associations can get on earlier similar to what happened last
spnng.
As a reminder from last fall after the football season was over, the Parks Maintenance staff spent about
$7000 regrading and resodding/reseeding the west field at Prairie Knoll Park. This was due to the wet
season and the number of games/practices that were played during and after the wet weather during the
football season. Even without a wet season, the fields are getting overused. As you know games and
practices for soccer, lacrosse, football, baseball and softball are occurring pretty much 7 days a week.
This makes it very difficult to maintain and provide playable turf for games for all associations that
used them during the past year.
Note: If you have an opportunity, please stop by Prairie Knoll Park before the meeting and take a look
at the field conditions for yourself. It is important to walk both fields so you can see the wear and tear
close up.
ACTION REOUlRED
No action is necessary by the Park and Recreation Commission at this time. Public Works staff will
bring back suggestions and/or recommendations for the Park Commission to consider in December or
January.
Respectfully submitted,
~~
Todd J. Haas
