ARE YOU SEEKING APPROVAL OF A CONTRACT? IS A PUBLIC HEARING REQUIRED?
No No
At the February 2023 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, Boreal Futbol Club was in attendance and
presented a project proposal during open forum for 1 full size soccer field to be lit at the Lehrke Soccer
field complex. Boreal Soccer expressed the need due to increased soccer participants. Boreal Soccer stated
60% of the organization’s participants are Otsego residents. Boreal offered to offset the project cost by
paying $12,500 annually for 10 years, $125,000 towards the project. The Parks and Recreation Commission
motioned to have staff gather pricing and information about the soccer field lighting project.
Staff researched the lighting project and found the City was able to purchase the lights directly from the
state contract which guarantees lowest pricing. Musco Sports Lighting, LLC is the company who has the
state contract on the field lights. A quote was obtained that reflected the price of $178,961. Staff reached
out to other communities who currently use Musco lights and all contacted individuals had favorable
comment. Staff proceeded to contact Wright-Hennepin Electric who provides the electric utilities at Lehrke
fields. Wright Hennepin Electric estimated the cost to bring service to the lights of $4,000. Staff is also
estimating a contingency budget of $2,000. This would bring the total project cost to $184,961.
Boreal Soccer proposed paying the City in increments of $12,500 for 10 years, $125,000 towards the
proposed project. The City would be paying the project costs upfront and be reimbursed over the 10-year
period. The total cost to the City would be $59,961. The City of Otsego had included this project in the 2023
Park Capital Equipment fund in the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and budgeted $190,000.
Staff will be researching what other communities charge for field fees, for the use of lighted fields. Fees for
the additional electricity usage would be charged back to the user groups, with an increased fee to use the
lit field. The additional fee would be placed on the City of Otsego fee schedule for approval in late 2023, for
the 2024 season. The City of Otsego and Boreal Futbol Club would enter a legal contract to ensure the full
$125,000 was paid back to the City within the 10-year period.
The Parks and Recreation Commission was presented with this information at the March meeting and
unanimously voted to recommend this project to the City Council for consideration.
The Administrative Subcommittee was presented with this information at their April 7 meeting and
recommended consent agenda consideration by the City Council.
