Re: Agenda Item Update
______________________________________________________________________
Summary
Last month, a survey was sent out to Councilmembers and Commissioners regarding
the role of liaisons at each meeting, as well as the feasibility of changing the meeting
days from Tuesdays to Thursdays.
At the July 25, 2024, City Council meeting, the Councilmembers reviewed the survey
submissions and decided that Commissioners are no longer expected to attend Council
meetings and still encouraged to attend to the degree they’re able. Assigned Council
Members will continue to attend Commission meetings as liaisons. Councilor Nichols
will still be in attendance at meetings.
Commission and Council meetings will continue Thursdays with the topic being revisited
in the new year once the elected Council is seated.
In addition to this, the City Council Report will no longer be a written report, but a verbal
report. Parks and Trails Commission related items will be included in the formerly
named Recreation Supervisor Update as they arise. The Recreation Supervisor Update
will be renamed Parks, Recreation, and Trails Update.

(Motion carried 6:0)
4. Minutes
a. Minutes – May 16, 2024, Meeting

Voting Aye: Anderson, Erzberger, Friedrich, Nybo, Schmidt, and Strehler.
(Motion carried 6:0)
5.Open Forum
Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck stated nobody was interested in speaking at that time.
6. Presentations – None
7.Unfinished Business
Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck noted that an email was received from resident Katherine
Drivas that included feedback for items included in Unfinished Business and was provided on the
dais. Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck provided an overview of the email, including timeline
for when donations are acquired and concerns about developers having parks named after their
company. Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck noted that 1 year prior to work on the park would
be reasonable when accepting donation and did not believe developers would qualify under
“donation” when they provide park dedication due to statute requirements. Recreation Supervisor
Christensen Buck confirmed that the policies should be reviewed by the City Attorney.
a. Park Enhancement Program
Vice-Chair Friedrich inquired about design options for the park enhancements, to which Recreation
Supervisor Christensen Buck noted that the choice would be of the Commission what to offer, but
the request from staff is to have specific options to choose from for pricing and installation ease.
Vice-Chair Friedrich noted that she would like durable, nice aesthetic benches, that are consistent in
natural tones and colors. Vice-Chair Friedrich inquired about including water bottle filling stations
4a.
and fire tables, a process for plaques in languages other than English, and inquired about the
maintenance donation fee of 10%. Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck explained further that
the maintenance donation would help cover additional expenses during the lifespan of the amenity.
Commissioner Anderson provided an example of a bench getting moldy and a request to power
wash the bench clean, requiring staff time and noting that the maintenance donation would help
cover some of the cost. Commissioners noted concerns with replacement if the amenity is damaged,
to which Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck informed the Commission that she would look into
what insurance would cover. Vice-Chair Friedrich inquired about the park maintenance budget, to
which Recreation Supervisor noted there are various categories to the budget that would have to be
explored. Commissioner Schmidt clarified the maintenance bullet to note that the City would be
“performing” maintenance, rather than responsible for maintenance to imply fiscal responsibility.
Commissioner Erzberger inquired about including trees or gardens in the park enhancements, to
which Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck informed the Commission that some cities do
include them, but they are hard to guarantee for long periods of time. Commissioner Erzberger
inquired about upgrading existing amenities, to which Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck said
she would further define that in the next draft. Commissioners thanked Katherine Drivas for her
email and perspectives on the agenda items. Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck summarized
the changes and information to include non-English language options, water receptacles, and fire
tables, adding plaques to existing amenities, maintenance/installation included in cost of the amenity
donation, inquiring about insurance coverage for amenities, and finding amenities that are durable
and natural-colored tones.
b. Park Naming Policy
Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck summarized a change to the policy noting that meeting
criteria in the policy does not guarantee naming. Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck
summarized areas from Katherine Drivas’ email, including commercial entity name consideration for
amenities, but not overall park naming after commercial entities. Commissioner Erzberger inquired
about prioritizing naming after historical or geographical naming over commercial entity naming, with
preference to no park naming after commercial entities. Commissioner Erzberger inquired about
park dedication fund not being a donation, but the possibility of a donation that exceeds that would
allow for the possibility of an amenity to include language such as “donated by”. Katherine Drivas,
6747 Olde Sturbridge Drive, provided hometown example of Swan Park that included Community
First Splashpad, noting that it seemed appropriate, especially with the lifespan of amenities allowing
for updates to amenity names. Commissioner Erzberger asked if the commercial section should
move from park names to the amenity specific section. Commissioner Nybo inquired about the
Northwest Area Jaycees donation of $100,000 towards the splashpad, to which Recreation
Supervisor Christensen Buck clarified that there is language stating one or more of the criteria have
been met to which the Jaycees have contributed long-term support.
8. New Business
a. 2025 Budget and Fee Schedule
Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck noted that registration fees have not increased since 2022
and with increasing costs, staff recommendation is to increase most registration fees, but keep
amenity rentals at the same price until the park updates are complete. Commissioner Anderson
inquired about what the return is for youth athletics, to which Recreation Supervisor Christensen
Buck informed the Commission that the registration fees cover the costs of running the programs
and some of the wages for the Program Coordinator position. Recreation Supervisor Christensen
Buck noted that the Program Coordinator position is involved in other areas such as community
engagement and Parks and Trails Commission help as well. Vice-Chair Friedrich asked if a
difference of $10 is enough between the resident and non-resident rates, to which Recreation
Supervisor Christensen Buck felt they were appropriate. Commissioners agreed that following the
City Park Remaster, the registration and amenity rental fees should be re-evaluated for 2026.
Motion: Made by Erzberger, seconded by Schmidt, to approve the 2025 registration and amenity
rental fees.
Voting Aye: Anderson, Erzberger, Friedrich, Nybo, Schmidt, and Strehler.
(Motion carried 6:0)
9. Reports/Information
a. Planning Project Update
Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck noted a clerical error in the approved minutes and
requested a motion to change the Active Planning Applications heading to Planning Project Update.
Motion: Made by Friedrich, seconded by Anderson, to update the clerical error in the May 16, 2024,
Parks and Trails Commission meeting minutes.
Voting Aye: Anderson, Erzberger, Friedrich, Nybo, Schmidt, and Strehler.
(Motion carried 6:0)
Vice-Chair Friedrich noted that there was a good conversation as part of the Dominoes discussion at
City Council and would return to the City Council in the future.
b. Program Coordinator Update
Program Coordinator Shipley highlighted the items he had been working on including youth
baseball, youth soccer, donations for Night to Unite, and volunteers for Night to Unite. Program
Coordinator Shipley noted that soccer had a 37% residency rate.
c. Recreation Supervisor Update
Recreation Supervisor Christensen Buck provided an update on items she had been working on
including Night to Unite tasks, cultural assessment items, compensation and classification study
items, policy work, and park planning.
10. Subcommittee & Miscellaneous Reports
a. City Council Report
Councilor Nichols highlighted some items from previous City Council meetings since the last Parks
and Trails Commission meeting including Dominoes, Oswald Farms concept, and Heather
Meadows. Commissioner Anderson expressed appreciation that Heather Meadows was being
reviewed again for the OS&P guidelines.
b. Garden Club Report
Tom Anderson noted that there were many thistles in the Memorial Garden. Michelle Friedrich
highlighted that the thistles are getting pulled and the peonies looked nice.
c. Park Dedication Fund
Vice-Chair Friedrich noted interest to the Park Dedication Fund and was happy to see growth.
11. Other Business/Announcements
Commissioner Anderson noted that Ken Guenthner, Elm Creek Watershed Commissioner, would be
moving soon and had done a wonderful job in the role. Commissioner Anderson noted that there is
access for farmers and homeowners to grant money for projects through the Elm Creek Watershed
District.
12. Commissioner Liaison Calendar
Commissioner Nybo noted that she would likely be virtual for the June 27, 2024, City Council
meeting. Vice-Chair Friedrich stated that she would ask Chair Christenson if he would switch the
August 8, 2024, meeting for the August 22, 2024, meeting.

number of items such as: specific architectural standards, infrastructure investment
incentives, encouragement toward sustainable development practices, proper
transitions of intensities and height, the permitted and conditional uses of each zoning
type, verbiage, and lighting standards.
