Parks and Recreation Director Demant reviewed memo and discussed three Prairie Park projects for 2020. • An addition to the Prairie Park dog park for small dogs, $10,000 budgeted. Demant stated it would be built adjacent to the existing dog park. Demant said the park is heavily used and has issues with worn areas. Chair Dehn recommended re -using old turf. Demant stated that the city doesn't have access to turf but would look into using other materials such as mulch or rock aggregate. • Splash pad improvements and expansion, $80,000 budgeted. Demant explained that the city's splash pad is the only flow through system fed from a well in Minnesota and this system is very cost effective because it isn't using city water. • Four pickle ball courts, 160,000 budgeted. Commissioner Breitbach suggested a walk way and space between courts. Demant agreed. Commissioner Baltos said shade would be important in planning the placements of the courts. Demant agreed and stated more trees would be planted and shade structures would most likely be part of the plan as well. Parks and Recreation Director Demant stated that each improvement project would be brought back to the commissioners for discussion and decisions. Commissioner Baltos motioned to recommend to the City Council to proceed with the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan as written. Seconded by Commissioner Rittenbach. All in favor. Motion carried. 6.

Amenities in the park include: a boat landing, fishing pier, river viewing areas, parking lot (ten single stalls, and six pull through stalls), and a park shelter. Staff have received several questions asking about if the Norin Landing Shelter is reservable. A review of area parks with shelter located by water showed that the City of Elk River rents their shelters which are located by Orono Park. These shelters are located in close proximity Lake Orono and rent for $40 for the full day. Wright County rents its shelters at Otsego Park for $25 per day. The fee for the shelter at Prairie Park is $20 for resident and $25 for non-resident for a 3 -hour block. Staff is recommending that the shelter at Norin Landing become available for rentals during the 2020 season under the following guidelines: • $40 for a'i2 day rental 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. &3 p.m. to 9 p.m. • Groups 50 and smaller • Must pick up own garbage ACTION: Staff is requesting that the Parks and Recreation Commission review the information in the memo and provide a recommendation to the City Council.
