The

being,
5
pm
I'll
call

order
the
regular
meeting
of
the
minneapolis
park
and
recreation
board
for
july.
The
7th
2021
I'll
note
that
most
commissioners
are
remote.
Some
commissioners
are
in
person
as
we
transition.
There
is
still
a
declared
emergency
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
which
allows
our
commissioners
to
meet
remotely
as
necessary.

Yes,

it'd

That's
probably
what
they
call
non-traditional,
but
it's
an
incredible
incredible
thing
happening
across
the
country
and
I
will
share
more
of
that
as
we
go
forward.
So
congratulations
the
follow

recreation
of

about
this
and

Great
work.
J
Let's
see
here,
88
559
dollars
awarded
to
mprb
from
the
hennepin
county,
youth
sports
equipment,
grants
for
spring
2020
and
2021,
and
here
is
a
list
of
the
words
in
front
of
you
again.
That's
88
591.
J
So
again,
thank
you
to
hennepin
county
for
the
youth
sports
equipment
grants.
It
is
just
absolutely
critical
essential
for
us
and
we're
so
grateful
for
this
and
what
it
provides
for
our
young
people
and
again
there's
the
list
and
we'll
share
this
more.
But
thank
you
again
and
it's
being
put
to
good
use
forestry.
J
The
mprb
forestry
department
has
placed
tree
guards
around
trees
to
deter
to
deter
damage
from
lawn
mowers
and
weed
whips.
Most
are
currently
near
lake
nokomis,
but
if
you,
but
you
can
expect
to
see
more
of
them
being
used
throughout
the
city,
it's
a
small
investment
that
will
increase
the
longevity
of
our
park.
Trees,
environmental
management,
nprb,
natural
resources
entered
into
a
contract
with

Land
works
for
goat
browsing
services
for
invasive
species
control.
J
Both
paddocks
were
located
south
of
the
eloise
butler,
wildfire
garden
near
wayzata,
boulevard
and
interstate
394,
like
white-tailed
deer,
goats
are
browsers
and
their
preferred
foods
are
twigs
and
leaves
using
goats
to
control
invasive
species
is
similar
to
mechanical
methods
such
as
mowing
or
prescribed,
burning,
goat
browsing
doesn't
eradicate
or
kill
the
plant.
It
keeps
the
plant
from
growing
large
and
seeding.

J
J
Unfortunately,
the
weber,
natural
pool,
the
nsp
national
swimming
pool
is
temporary,
closed,
effective
today,
77
2021,
of
course,
today,
nprb's
regular
sampling
of
bacteria
found
that
enter.
Oh,
I
hate
to
say
that
I'm
going
to
mess
this
word
up.
Bacteria
levels
exceeded
the
nprb
standard
for
natural
swimming
pools.
J
This
closure
is
likely
due
to
warm
temperatures
and
waterfowl
waste
bacteria
test
results
are
available
at
our
website
and
you
can
access
that,
of
course,
through
the
minneapolisparts.org

weber,
natural
swimming
pool,
the
mprb
will
resample
the
nsp
on

8
20
21,
which
is
tomorrow
when
the
bacteria
levels
are
within
nprb
standard
of
natural
swimming
pools.
The
pool
will
reopen.
J
Our
website
will
have
update
information
regarding
beach
and
natural
swimming
pool,
sampling
results
and
closures.
Natural
swimming
pools,
like
weber,
are
living
systems
that
use
biological
filtration
instead
of
chemical
or
water
treatment.
In
other
pool
news,
the
nations
experience
a
chlorine
shortage
due
to
increased
demand.
The
team
is
searching
for
chlorine
supplies
to
keep
pools
open
through
labor
day.
The
shortage
could
have
longer
term
effects
that
could
impact
the
2022
pool
season.
J
Asset
management
staff
are
working
diligently
to
secure
enough
aurene
to
support
the
system
pools
for
the
remainder
of
the
season
and
making
plans
for
the
2022
season
as
well.
I
know
it's
so
difficult
when
you
hear
about
these
things,
because
it's
behind
the
scenes
that
you
think
would
have
enough
chlorine,
but
the
shortage
is
concerning.
We
are
working
towards
it.
J
I
want
to
thank
operations
for
their
work
and
diligency
and
and
really
tracking
this
down
and
keeping
our
pools
open,
but
it
is
something
that
we
are
keeping
an
eye
on
and
hopefully
we
can
come
out
of
this
with
no
real
concerns
for
the
2022
season,
let
alone

The
emperor
of
the
forestry
division
planted
close
to
000
new
trees.
This
spring,
the
hot
and
dry
weather,
has
become
a
concern
in
keeping
the
newly
planted
trees
thoroughly
watered
the
forestry
department
team
worked
closely
with
nprb's
equipment
shop
to
come
up
with
a
plan
to
increase
watering
capacity.
J
The
equipment
shop
set
up
one
of
six
additional
450
gallon
water
tanks,
thanks
to
the
equipment,
shop,
quick
response
for
creating
additional
watering
capabilities.
That
is
ingenuity
at
work.
So
thank
you.
Our
equipment
shop
for
coming
to
solution
keep
our
trees
alive
and
healthy,
great

The
asset

team
took
delivery
of
a
new

and
you
wouldn't
think
it's
small

but
it
is
a

the
standard
for

fuel
efficiency
and
operator
comfort.
This

also
meets

J
Horticulture
new
team
members,
the
horticulture
team,
is
excited
to
add
four
new
full-time
gardeners
to
our
team.
Yes,
the
new
gardeners
joined
us
this
week
on
june
28th
and
come
with
years
of
experience
in
the
landscape
and
garden
industry.
The
new
gardeners
will
be
working
at
the
formal
gardens
at
lindo
park,
as
well
as
the
minneapolis
sculpture
garden
and
the
upper
south

which
include
our
downtown

and
then
you
see

So
congratulations
and
we're
really
happy
to
have

turn
on
update.
Last
month
I
mentioned
that
the
public-facing
gis
map
of
open
drinking
phones
would
be
launching
soon.
Unfortunately,
the
map
I
was
referring
to
was
actually
a
map
created
in
2020
for
another
purpose
and
does
not
have
the
ability
to
show
operation
status
in
real
time.
J
Staff
is
working
on
creating
a
public-facing,
real-time
operating
gis
that
should
be
ready
by
next
spring.
That
said,
I'm
happy
to
report
that
all
restrooms
are
open
and
74
of
drinking
fountains
are
open
of
the
50
drinking
fountains
that
are
currently
closed.
41
have
been
churned
on,
but
need
repair
decorative
fountains.
J
J
The
team
worked
to
open
all
of
the
decorative
fountains
and
was
successful
in
starting
up
the
hufflefinger
fountain
and
the
rose
garden
of
lindell
park
and
gateway
fountain
downtown
the
peavey
pond.
The
pv
fountain,
also
known
as
the
horse
in
the
kenwood
neighborhood,
required
some
minor
repairs
and
we
hope
to
all
open
by
the
end
of
the
week.
J
J
The
burger
fountain
has
sustained
significant
deterioration
in
the
mechanics
and
it's
not
able
to
open
this
year
we're
working
on
a
plan
for
next
steps
of
the
burger
fountain.
So
as
anything
that's
complicated,
but
we
are
working
to
get
these
open
and
we
can
get
more
updates
needed
to
the
board.
J
Of
course,
customer
service
park
ambassadors,
seven
enthusiastic
ambassadors,
started
greeting
park
visitors
over
memorial
day
weekend
and
will
continue
to
stroll
through
the
sculpture,
garden
and
lorry
park,
the
stone
arch
bridge
and
father
hennepin
park
and
minnehaha
park
on
weekends
through
labor
day
supplied
with
trail
maps
and
state
connected
cards.
The
ambassadors
create
a
welcoming
presence
for
appreciative
visitors
from
all
over
the
usa
and
we're
so
grateful
to
have
them,
and
they
do
a
wonderful
job,
as
you
can
tell,
by
their
really
great
smiles.
J
Juneteenth
juneteenth
and
2020
was
especially
spectacular
as
it
aligned
with
the
newly
adopted
government
holiday.
Very
exciting
activities
throughout
the
week,
replaced
the
typical
one-day
event
to
provide
options
for
families
as
pandemic.
Restrictions
continue
to
shift
throughout
the
planning
window
activities
during
the
week
of
june,
14th
included,
self-guided
themed
story,
strolls
in
collaboration
with
hennepin

a
drive-in
and
outdoor
movies,
a
family
night
at
creek

and
a
music
in
the
park

bethune.
J
On
saturday
june,
19th
neighbors
enjoyed
some
of
the
very
first
opportunities
to
gather
at
the
park
as
communities
as
communities
since,
before
the
pandemic,
fun
was
had
by
all
and
they
were
just
wonderful
events,
and
it
was
just
great
to
see
folks
out
having
a
great
time
and
celebrating
juneteenth
cycling.
101
one
of
the
pillars
very
excited
about
this
part
of
the
new
cycle
of
summer
series.
Cycling
101
kicked
off
last
week
at
morris
park.
The
cycle-centric
program
focuses
on
further
ex
exposing
our
youth
for
the
many
options
of
biking.
J
J
There
are
five
more
chances
to
get
in
on
the
action
at
the
following
sites:
quickview
log
fellow
botnet
and
armitage
parks.
Our
armitage
parks
spread
the
word
and
learn,
learn
more
about
the
online
learn
more
about
online
searching
the
keywords
cycling
the
summer-
and
this
is
really
exciting
and
we're
continuing
to
build
on
this
and
just
really
excited
to
see
everybody
out
there
riding
their
bikes
and
really
learning
how
to
ride
safely.
So
congratulations
to
that
planning,
division,
farwell
park
and
hall
park.
Improvements
are
coming
to
both
farwell
farwell
and
hall
parks.
J
Everyone
is
invited,
so
please
join
us
open
house
details
are
wednesday
july
14th
from
three
to
six
o'clock
p.m:
at
fall,
farwell
park
at

north
sheridan,
avenue,
minneapolis
minnesota
and
on
thursday
july
15th
from
5
to

o'clock
p.m.
At
hall
park
the
east
side
by
the
volleyball
court
at
1524,
aldridge
avenue
north,
and
I
think
with
that
president
colgan
commissioners.
I
am
done.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
C
Thank
you,
superintendent.
We
have
a
few
questions
I'll
start
with
commissioner
french
and
note
that
we'll
have
to
end
the
questions
here
at
5
30
for
open
time.
Commissioner,
french
go
ahead.
K
Yeah
just
two
quick
questions.
I
think
I've
asked
this
question
before:
what's
the
feasibility
of
the
park
having
their
own
heart
of
goats,
and
why
can't
we
do
that
and
may
possibly
turn
into
some
type
of
programming,
for
our
kids
to
you
know,
keep
track
of
the
ghosts
and
hurt
the
goats
and
learn
how
to
keep
livestock
is
there
is
that
is
that
the
usable
is
that
plausible.
J
L
President
kogo,
commissioner,
french,
I
mean
certainly
plausible
the
city
of
denver
does
own
a
herd
of
buffalo.
Their
primary
intent
is
for
genetic
diversity
in
our
case,
and
it
wasn't
uncommon,
for
you
know.
I
think
the
park
board
actually
owned
its
own
horses.
At
some
point-
and
I
know
the
new
york
city
parks
department
has
horses,
but
the
cost
of
owning
the
livestock.
L
L
If
you
wanted
to
you
know
if
we
wanted
to
provide
programming
around
the
goats
with
the
kids,
potentially
there's
more
potential
there,
but
owning
a
herd
of
goats
throughout
the
year
and
then
using
them
in
the
summer.
L
We
would
certainly
have
to
look
into
the
cost
benefit
of
that,
but
it
would
be
fairly
significant.
Owning
livestock
is,
is
a
tremendous
cost.
So,
besides
those
herds,
I've
mentioned
like
the
buffalo
in
denver
and
the
horses
in
new
york
city,
like
that.
We
also
have
to
you
know,
do
some
zoning
things
around
hooved
animals
aren't
allowed
in
the
city
without
a
permit,
and
it
would
be
quite
extensive,
but.
I
L
It's
a
it's
a
city
ordinance
that
you'd
have
to
apply
for
a
permit.
We
have.
We
currently
apply
for
the
permit
to
have
the
hooved
animals
within
the
city
for
the
period
of
time
that
we
do.
We
have
to
obtain
a
permit
each
year,
and
so
you
would
be
looking
at
getting
a
permanent
permanent
permit,
a
permanent
permit
to
keep
them
here
or
finding
a
facility
outside
of
the
city
that
doesn't
require
a
permit.
K
Thank
you
and
I
have
one
more
question:
what
is
gaga
ball.
J
Thank
you
for
commissioner,
french
and
president
coghill.
I
will
turn
this
over
to
assistant
superintendent,
tyrese
cox
that
she
can
walk
through
what
it
is.
I
have
not
played
it
yet,
but
I'm
not
sure
the
intricacies
of
the
game,
but
maybe
she
can
explain
it
better
than
I
can.
N
Thank
you,
superintendent.
I
actually,
I'm
gonna
need
a
lifeline,
so
I
am
going
to
ask
the
director
umphrey,
who
has
probably
seen
this
before.
O
C
O
D
C
Thank
you,
commissioner.
French
commissioner
musician
I'll,
come
to
you
after
open
time,
the
time
time
being
5
30
pm,
it's
our
opportunity
to
hear
from
the
public.
It
is
open
time
we
have.
C
C
C
Good
daniel,
if
you're
there,
you
can
turn
off
the
live
stream
behind
you.
You
have
two
minutes
to
address
the
board
start
with
stating
your
name
and,
if
you're
comfortable
your
address
for
the
record.
I
Okay,
so
my
name
is
dave
messer
at
4909
rockford
utah.
Can
you
hear
me.
C
I
I
I
Second
misfoils
and
weeds
are
not
being
removed
around
the
dog
area,
which
makes
it
almost
impossible
to
safely
maneuver
in
the
area
as
a
sailor.
We
are
trained
to
react
to
unpredictable
conditions
and
always
plan
for
an
escape
route.
However,
we
rely
on
the
safe
open
areas
above
water,
on
the
water
surface
and
below
the
surface.
I
If
we
cannot
get
these
conditions,
then
we
put
others
and
ourselves
at
risk
nowadays,
pretty
much.
Every
time
I
go,
I
need
to
go
to
the
dog.
I
need
to
yell
at
kids
to
get
out
of
the
water,
and
most
often
I
need
to
go
around
at
least
once
before.
I
can
dodge
once
on
the
dock,
not
only
I
have
to.
I
have
no
space
to
maneuver,
but
I
get
yelled
at
by
teenagers
who
literally
literally
insert
me
because
I
tell
them
to
leave.
I
I
also
already
got
stuck
in
the
weeds
and
the
two
other
boats
got
in
the
same
situation.
Just
like
last
saturday,
I
already
complained
multiple
times
to
the
park
board
with
no
response
over
the
last
two
months,
and
I
am
getting
tired
of
having
to
stress
about
going
to
the
dock.
So
I
can
go
pick
up
my
family
or
friends,
so
we
can
enjoy
the
lake.
I
C
I
P
Hello,
this
is
sean
garceski
and
my
address
is
3132
22nd
avenue
south
I'm
a
minnesota
water
steward
volunteer
active
with
friends
of
the
lake
hiawatha
and
the
director
with
resilient
cities
and
communities,
and
so
we're
excited
that
we
hope
the
planning
committee
will
be
able
to
vote
today
to
approve
moving
forward
with
the
hiawatha
park
master
plan
to
have
that
voted
on
by
the
full
board
later
in
the
month,
and
we
really
are
supportive
with
friends
of
lake
iowa,
of
the
amendments
from
vice
president
vito
for
the
african-american
run
food
venue,
the
expanded
hiring
for
african-americans
within
the
park,
golf
business
and
we're
also
very
excited
about
having
a
climate
resilient
night,
a
whole
golf
course
expanded
both
summer
and
winter
recreation.
P
Given
the
fact
that
this
natural
area
had
been
disrupted
a
hundred
years
ago,
we
can
begin
to
repair
the
damage
and
the
friends
of
lake
iowa
would
like
to
work
with
a
park
board
on
protecting
space
for
the
all
the
other,
otters
other
creatures.
So
they
don't
they're
going
to
be
a
bit
further
away
from
where
people
are
walking
around
so
to
design
it
so
that
the
we
can
have
expanded
recreation
while
also
protecting
the
habitat
of
animals.
P
So
we're
we're
excited.
This
is
going
to
move
on
forward
with
being
able
to
unlock
a
lot
of
funding
from
both
the
legacy
funds.
The
med
council
funds,
the
funding
from
the
watershed
district
and
the
city
of
minneapolis
to
help
implement
the
plan.
C
C
Line.
Okay,
I'm
back
our
next
speaker
is
penny.
Fuller.
It's
penny
on
the
line
he's
on
the
line,
hello
penny!
You
have
two
minutes
to
address
the
board.
If
you
can
turn
up
the
live
stream
there
behind
you
there
behind
you
and
yes,
we
can
hear
you
go
ahead.
M
M
And
continue
to
support
moving
forward
with
the
proposals
for
the
lake
coyote
golf
course
master
plan
really
looking
forward
to.
I
know
it
will
be
sometime
in
the
future,
but
dealing
with
the
trash
that
comes
off
our
streets.
The
lake
directly
it'll
be
really
amazing
to
have
clean
water
and
also
some
of
the
other
aspects
that
we
see
that
will
be
developed
to
support
wildlife
and
people
and
the
integration
of
both
together.
M
C
We
do
not
have
any
others.
Okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
That
concludes
our
open
time.
This
evening.
I
will
return
now
to
the
report
of
the
superintendent
and
call
on
commissioner
music,
who
has
her
hand
raised.
G
Thank
you
is
kushner
french
done
with
his
questions.
I
noticed
his
hands
still
up.
Okay,
he's
nodded!
Yes,
so
I'm
gonna
go
ahead.
I
would
like
to
request,
but
as
part
of
the
superintendent's
update
at
our
next
meeting,
that
we'd
be
provided
with
an
update
on
the
status
of
reopening
rec
centers
for
community
use
and
programming
more
broadly
than
just
the
activities
that
have
been
occurring
thus
far,
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
questions
from
my
constituents
about
when
they're
going
to
be
able
to
start
using
that
asset
in
the
park
again.
G
C
C
Moving
on
to
consent,
business,
I
am
going
to
ask
if
the
vice
president
would
be
willing
to
take
the
gavel
to
navigate
through
the
consent
items
primarily
because
I
do
need
to
recuse
myself
from
one
of
the
items.
I'll
note
that
the
item
is
20
21
239,
so
I
will
be
recusing
myself
from
that
is
the
vice
president.
On.
C
Great
thank.
H
H
G
H
239,
yes,
we
are
moving
them
as
a
slate
with
the
exception
of
239.
Commissioner
meyer,
did
you
want
to
say
something
I
was
just
going
to
second
him.
Thank
you.
Did
someone
did
someone
of
the
slave.
H
And
there's
a
second
by
commissioner
meyer,
madam
secretary,
will
you
please
take
the
role
on
the
consent
agenda.
E
H
G
M
A
F
The
administration
and
finance
committee,
I
will
move
resolution
2021
232,
a
resolution
approving
an
agreement
between
basset
creek
watershed
management,
commission,
the
city
of
minneapolis
and
the
minneapolis
park
and
recreation
board
regarding
the
implementation
of
water
quality
infrastructure
improvements,
including
stormwater,
best
management
practices
for
the
benefit
of
all
parties
in
and
near
bryn
mawr
meadows
park
and
within
the
basset
creek
watershed
and
the
minneapolis
city
of
minneapolis
and
in
alignment
with
mprb
policy
and
the
approved
north
service
area.
Master
plan.
H
C
Have
it
it's
yours,
thank
you
very
much.
Vice
president
vita,
I
will
say
the
resolution
has
been
moved.
Is
there
a
second
okay
resolution
has
been
moved
and
seconded?
Is
there
any
discussion
on
the
resolution?
2021-232.
C
Not
seeing
any,
I
just
want
to
note
the
great
progress
that
this
indicates
in
the
park
board's
commitment
to
rethinking
some
of
our
public
spaces
so
that
they
are
more
prepared
for
major
storm
events
and
including
best
management
practices
in
our
water
infrastructure.
This
is
something
that
needs
to
happen
across
the
system.
It's
already
begun
in
a
lot
of
places.
So
thank
you.
Everybody
for
that
work,
I'll
ask
the
secretary
to
take
the
role.
I
C
M
C
On
to
unfinished
business,
we
have
one
resolution,
which
is
a
resolution
2021-245
I'll
ask
for
a
motion
to
to
move
this
resolution.
Approving
capital
improvement,
grant
award
amendment
number
three
from
the
mississippi
watershed
management
organization,
extending
the
grant
deadline
for
the
design
and
construction
of
innovative
stormwater
management
practices
as
part
of
the
waterworks,
mezzanine
phase
construction.
M
C
C
Resolution
and
discussion,
seeing
none,
looks
like
there
are
no
questions
thanks
for
the
work
on
this,
and
this
is
another
step
on
our
path
on
waterworks,
which
has
been
quite
impressive,
and
thank
you
to
kate
lamers
for
all
of
her
work
on
on
this
and
the
rest
of
the
project.
I'll
ask
the
secretary
to
take
the
role.
B
B
C
C
That
carries
we
have
no
other
items
of
business
for
the
main
agenda
board
meeting
this
evening,
I'll
ask
to
move
into
petitions
and
communications.
I
will
begin
with
commissioner
hassan.
M
C
D
Thank
you,
president
colgail.
I
just
like
to
extend
a
my
gratitude
to
commissioner
french
this
evening.
North
commons,
water
pool
has
been
busy.
D
Many
folks
have
reached
out
to
me
thanking
myself
and
I've
actually
encouraged
him
to
reach
out
to
commissioner
french
for
putting
this
board
and
and
getting
this
done.
I
think
commissioner,
french
may
have
started
something
because
I've
read
a
few
different
articles.
D
I
I
can't
recall
it
feels
a
why
wca
or
the
ymca,
but
it
sounds
like
they're,
making
a
lot
of
their
memberships
free
for
kids,
18
and
under,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
value
in
keeping
our
kids
busy
and
and
positive
activities,
and,
like
I
said
I
just
extremely
thankful,
I
I
don't
think
this
is
going
to
cure
the
ills
of
the
violence
problem,
particularly
you
violence
on
the
north
side,
but
I
know
that
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
D
K
Yeah,
I
just
you,
know
I've
gotten
a
few
phone
calls
and
some
emails
about
north
commons
pool
about
they've,
never
seen
so
many
folks
there
before
the
participation
is,
I
think,
quadruple
from
what
I
can
tell
I
was
I
visited
the
pool
sometime
last
week
and
there
was
one
kid
there.
K
He
went
and
told
other
kids
that
somehow
I
owned
the
pool,
and
I
made
it
free
for
everybody
which
tickled
tickled
me
to
death,
and
I
had
to
go
and
let
those
kids
know
that
nope
you
guys
own
this
pool
and
you
should
come
and
enjoy
it
as
much
as
possible,
so
it
it
has
been
a
pure
delight
to
see
young
folks,
older
folks,
family
folks
out
there
enjoying
the
joining
the
pool
and
just
reducing
whatever
bear
that
was
possible
for
them.
That
was
in
front
of
them
to
enjoy
this
pool.
K
C
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Forney
vice
president
of
utah.
H
Sorry
bobby
was
barking.
I
just
want
to
quickly
say
that
last
week
I
had
an
absolutely
wonderful
time
with
a
group
of
youth
that
were
part
of
a
pretty
cool
program
called
imagine
your
future
in
our
parks.
H
This
program
was
created
out
of
the
recreation
department
for
commissioners
really
pushing
for
some
violence
prevention
area
initiatives.
It
was
the
highlight
of
my
summer.
I
know
we're
just
like
right
in
the
beginning
of
summer,
but
this
I'm
hoping
that
we'll
get
a
presentation
in
front
of
the
board
from
these
young
people
and
the
staff
that
participated
in
the
imagine
your
future
program.
So
the
young
people
were
from
ages,
17
to
22.
Most
of
them
were
20
or
older,
had
a
few
bumps
in
the
road
so
far
they
completed.
H
I
want
to
say
eight
weeks
of
this
program
just
to
hear
what
they
got
out
of
the
program
for
eight
weeks.
I
had
one
young
person
say
you
know
my
parents
put
me
in
programs
all
the
time,
and
I
was
just
expecting
this
to
be
the
same
old
same
old.
I
was
just
gonna,
come,
listen,
eat,
get
my
gift
card
and
leave,
and
he
said
this
is
what's
the
best
program
he's
ever
been
a
part
of
from
the
day
he
walked
in
the
door.
H
He
could
tell
that
the
staff
were
different
and
that
they
cared
about
him,
and
so
you
know
the
the
staff
really
did
a
wonderful
job
at
being
there
for
the
young
people.
I
had
another
young
man.
You
know
say
to
me
that
the
the
murder
of
george
floyd
and
just
the
time
with
covet
being
at
home,
really
got
him
down
and
depressed,
and
he
was
he
referred
to
king
park
as
his
park,
and
I
thought
that
was
the
coolest
thing
ever
he's
like.
H
I
couldn't
go
to
my
park
and
king
is
my
park
and
I
couldn't
go
and
it
was
just
getting
worse
and
worse
and
he
started
this
program
and
now
he's
working
at
king
park
like
this
is
like
exactly
what
we
want
to
be
doing
in
our
park
system
and
then
finally,
there
was
a
young
woman
who
said
that
you
know
school
was
her
only
lifeline
as
a
teenager
and
when
school
shut
down.
H
She
just
like
life
was
just
so
different,
and
this
program
is
what
got
her
outside
and
now
she's
going
to
be
working
in
our
park
system.
She
met
a
new
group
of
friends.
The
group
that
graduated
was
a
group
of
nine,
but
only
seven
attended
a
celebration
and
they
all
met.
They
were
from
the
north
side
and
the
south
side,
and
they
all
met
for
the
first
time
to
share
their
stories
and
appreciation
for
the
staff
miss
leslie,
mr
newman,
and
I
believe
the
other
staff
person's
name
was
sarah.
H
Please
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
staff,
superintendent
or
assistant
superintendent
cox,
but
the
staff
were
just
instrumental
in
this,
the
way
that
they
met
these
young
people
where
they
were
is
exactly
what
I
envisioned
in
my
mind,
so
kudos
to
assistant
superintendent
cox
for
having
the
vision
for
this
program
and
allowing
for
staff
to
step
outside
the
status
quo
and
the
box
that
we
usually
think
of
in
terms
of
recreation.
This
was
a
big
deal.
I
felt
it.
I
went
there.
I
shared
my
personal
stories
with
the
young
people.
H
We
connected
some
of
them.
You
know
we
exchanged
numbers,
so
we
can
stay
connected,
so
I
can
go
visit
them.
All
of
them
were
awarded
jobs
within
our
park
system.
That's
exactly
what
we
want
for
these
young
people
in
our
community.
This
is
the
pathway
to
violence
prevention.
These
kids
have
something
else
to
do.
They
are
very
excited
about
working
getting
their
own
money.
I
got
a
lot
of
comments
about
go
back
and
tell
your
colleagues
on
the
board.
H
You
have
to
fund
this,
you
have
to
fund
it
bigger
and
better
next
time
don't
take
the
I
asked
who
set
them
up
to
say
that,
but
they
were
very
aware
of
commissioners.
We
talked
about
online
commissioners.
We
were
in
the
board
room,
so
we
were
able
to
talk
about
the
jobs
that
we
all
have
as
a
government
body
over
this
board.
So
I'm
hoping
in
the
future.
We
can
have
a
presentation
from
this
group.
It
was
amazing
and
I
want
you
all
to
see
it
for
yourself.
H
I
want
you
to
hear
it
from
these
young
people's
mouths
themselves.
How
great
this
program
was
for
them,
how
meaningful
and
how
it
connects
them
further
to
our
community
and
the
resources
that
we
have
right
here
in
our
park
system,
so
kudos
to
staff
and
everyone
that
did
a
great
job
at
organizing
this
and
keeping
these
young
people
lifted
and
motivated
and
and
showing
up
every
day.
H
Lastly,
one
young
man
told
me
he
missed
his
meeting
in
north
in
south
minneapolis
and
he
took
three
buses
to
get
to
the
one
in
north
minneapolis
because
he
was
so
committed
and
dedicated
to
the
program,
so
that
speaks
volumes
to
what
we
offer
to
these
young
people.
He
didn't
even
want
to
miss
it.
So
thank
you
all.
Commissioners.
We
should
be
very
proud
that
the
pilot
of
this
program
comes
out
of
our
term,
is
serving
on
this
minneapolis
park
board.
It
is
truly
something
to
be
extremely
proud
about.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you
vice
president
vita
I'll,
be
brief,
just
say
thank
you
to
staff
across
the
system
for
all
the
work
on
opening
up
the
park
system
this
year.
I
know
it's
a
bit
different
this
year
having
a
whole
year
where
a
lot
of
our
infrastructure
wasn't
opened
up,
bathrooms,
fountains,
etc.
C
As
we
move
forward
in
the
summer,
I
know
we're
almost
halfway.
It
seems
like
into
the
summer,
but
getting
those
things
open,
keeping
diligently
working
towards
opening
up
our
rec
centers
to
everybody.
All
of
that
stuff
is
so
greatly
appreciated
as
we're
managing
this
sort
of
transition,
hopefully
so
have
everything
opened
up
again.
I
can't
thank
everybody
enough
and
being
flexible
and
and
thinking
thinking,
big
about
how
we
can
do
that
as
efficiently
as
possible.
So
thank
you,
superintendent
and
your
team
for
for
doing
that
work.
I
know
it's.
C
It
seems
like
it
should
be
easy
stuff,
but
there's
a
lot
that
goes
into
every
single
aspect
of
that.
So
it's
just
wonderful
to
see
and
thank
you
all
all
the
commissioners
here
this
evening
for
all
the
collaboration
and
work
this
this
year
as
we're
opening
things
back
up
again.
Getting
programs
running
trying
to
make
things
more
accessible
to
folks
addressing
some
of
the
major
issues
that
our
city
is
facing.
It's
been
great
to
see,
appreciate
everybody's
work.
K
The
time
being
time
being
5
58,
I
like
to
call
and
order
the
meeting
of
the
recreation
committee
secretary.
Please
take
the.
N
K
B
K
Thank
you,
madam
secretary,
can
we
I'm
seeking
approval
of
the
agenda
for
today?
Can
you
take
please
take
the
role.
R
K
Aye,
thank
you,
mr
madam
secretary,
I'd
like
to
take
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
minutes
from
wednesday
june
16
2021.
so
move.
Madam
secretary,
please
take
the
role.
A
K
Thank
you,
madam
secretary.
Today
we
are,
we
have
a
action
item
we
have.
I
think
we
have
director.
Umphrey's
is
going
to
talk
to
us
about
the
golf
courses
in
our
system.
Director
humphreys
are
you?
Are
you
on
the
call.
O
Thank
you,
chair,
french
and
commissioners.
Could
someone
pull
up
the
report
from
the
drive.
O
O
So
nationally
golf
has
been
trending
upward
in
in
2020
there
was
an
increase
of
over
20
percent
in
minneapolis
saw
about
a
35
increase
in
rounds
played,
so
we
are
well
above
the
national
average
in
in
gulf.
It's
also
becoming
much
more
popular
amongst
younger
players,
which
really
speaks
well
for
the
future
of
the
game.
O
O
O
So
those
are
some
of
our
early
2021
season,
highlights
kind
of
through
the
end
of
june,
so
about
the
first
half
or
40
percent
of
the
golf
season
next
slide.
Please.
O
So
in
in
2020,
as
you're
all
aware,
we
had
a
large
revenue
increase
in
golf.
2021
has
seen
a
continuation
of
that
trend
on
early
season.
Rounds
of
golf
are
well
surpassing
2020..
In
2020
we
were
about
1.75
million
dollars.
O
Ahead
of
our
budget
projection
and
this
year
golf
kicked
off
the
season
on
february
27th,
with
our
preseason
sales
and
league
registration
and
to
date,
we've
sold.
208
season
passes
almost
2
000
players
cards
and
we've
filled
24
different
leagues
about
a
30
percent
increase
from
where
we
were
in
2020.
O
O
O
So
at
columbia,
golf
course
we're
nearing
completion
of
a
multi-million
dollar
drainage
project
on
the
north
end
of
the
course
excuse
me
the
course
is
rerouted
slightly
one
of
those
holes
that
was
a
par
four
is
turning
into
a
bar
three
we're
lengthening
a
par
four
in
r5
to
maintain
a
par
71
there'll,
be
a
large
holding
pond
for
water
on
the
northwest
end
of
the
property,
which
will
really
have
a
positive
effect
on
four
or
five
holes
that
had
significant
issues
with
water,
not
allowing
us
to
bring
carts
out
after
rain
and
really
causing
havoc
with
our
maintenance
crews.
O
Trying
to
mow
or
maintain
the
turf
construction
is
almost
complete.
I
was
actually
by
there
about
three
hours
ago.
They
are
laying
sod
on
the
new
areas.
It
trucks
out
there
doing
that,
so
we'll
have
a
little
bit
of
a
growing
period
that
will
take
place
the
remainder
of
this
year
and
the
full
course
will
reopen
in
early
2022,
probably
around
the
15th
of
may.
Some
will
depend
on
what
we
get
for
weather
in
the
spring.
O
Gross
golf
course
just
had
hole,
number
three
regraded
and
done
it
was
a
bottleneck
in
the
golf
course
that
caused
lots
of
fillets.
O
We
flattened
out
the
green
and
added
a
new
tee
box
and
moved
a
bunker
that
really
is
going
to
improve
the
pace
of
play
there
and
make
for
a
more
enjoyable
experience
and
then
at
meadowbrook
golf
course.
We
are
getting
ready
to
take
bids
for
a
new
clubhouse,
we're
hopefully
going
to
start
construction
in
the
fall
of
2021
and
complete
that
in
2022.
O
A
A
O
O
So
some
information
about
colombia
that
the
rounds
of
golf
have
gone
down
slightly
in
2021
due
to
the
construction
project
operating
a
nine-hole
golf
course.
Obviously,
it's
going
to
have
less
traffic
from
the
18-hole
golf
course.
However,
the
driving
range
at
columbia
has
seen
a
significant
increase
in
youth
we've.
Also
added
food
and
beverage
options
there
during
the
evenings
and
weekends,
which
has
really
been
well
received.
We've
worked
with
our
food
vendor
to
have
those
options
available
at
that
site.
O
Weddings
and
events
have
also
really
picked
up
since
culver
restrictions
have
lifted
so
we're
seeing
a
lot
more
events
inside
the
chalet.
At
this
time,
colombia
is
also
home
to
the
first
tee
of
the
twin
cities.
We
have
a
large
youth
program
if
you
drive
by
columbia
just
about
any
day
during
the
summer,
you'll
see
instructors
with
groups
of
youth,
utilizing
the
practice
facility
there
and
in
a
normal
year
colombia
does
about
35
000
rounds
of
golf.
O
Imagining
this
year
will
probably
be
around
25
to
27
000
rounds
of
golf,
and
then
I
believe
after
we
open
back
up
fully
we'll,
probably
be
well
over
35
000
rounds
of
golf,
but
people
are
excited
to
take
advantage
of
the
new
facility
next
slide.
Please.
O
Many
of
the
league
players
from
columbia
moved
over
there
this
year
due
to
the
construction
gross,
is
also
on
pace
to
possibly
have
50
000
rounds
played,
which
has
not
happened
in
a
minneapolis
golf
course
since
2004.,
so
they
were
at
about
44
000
rounds
last
year,
and
they
are
ahead
of
last
year's
pace.
They've
been
extremely
busy.
Gross
also
has
a
driving
range
facility
that
hits
off
mats
only
and
they
also
host
first,
the
twin
cities
on
that
driving
range
and
on
their
practice
screen
next
slide.
O
The
ohio
off
the
golf
course
where
dan
stoneburg
is
the
course
manager
and
dan
aymond
is
the
superintendent
next
slide.
Please
so
hiawatha
has
seen
the
largest
increase
in
rounds
played
from
2020
to
this
year,
they're
up
over
35
from
the
same
point.
This
season
since
reopening
fully
after
the
2000
2014
floods,
there's
been
an
increase
in
rounds
at
hiawatha
golf
course.
O
Every
year,
hiawatha
also
hosts
minneapolis
public
schools,
golf
teams
and
work
closely
with
the
first
fee
of
the
twin
cities
at
their
driving
range
and
practice
facility
and
they're
kind
of
the
hub
of
south
minneapolis
for
first
tee.
Golf,
it's
driving
range
is
very
popular
and
it's
used
by
adult
lessons
as
well
as
youth
lessons,
and
it's
probably
the
most
used
in
the
system
and
accounts
for
about
twenty
percent
of
the
revenue.
At
that
fertility.
O
Hiawatha
does
around
thirty
five
to
forty
thousand
rounds
of
golf
a
year,
which
is
up
from
about
twenty
five
thousand
to
thirty
thousand,
from
2017
to
2019
and
after
hiawatha
flooded
in
2014
the
first
year
we
were
fully
open
again
in
2016.
They
did
about
22
000
rounds,
so
they've
seen
a
giant
increase
over
the
last.
You
know
four
to
five
years
after
the
flooding
and
the
the
reconditioning
of
that
golf
course.
O
So
meadowbrook
also
flooded
in
2014,
as
many
of
you
remember
and
after
it
was,
it
was
closed
for
about
three
years.
It's
returned
very
strongly,
although
it
doesn't
have
a
clubhouse,
we
do
provide
food
and
beverage
service
at
the
first
tea
through
a
food
truck,
and
we
have
mobile
beverage
part
service
about
the
course
shortly
after
the
course
flooded.
The
clubhouse
flooded
so
there's
the
construction
project
that
we
mentioned
earlier
that'll,
be
that
will
be
hopefully
completed
next
spring.
O
O
O
O
O
The
18
hole
and
nine
hole
course
combine
for
45
to
50
000
rounds
of
golf
per
year.
War
thousand
does
a
great
job.
They
work
with
a
couple
of
the
north
side:
recreation
centers
that
offer
golfing
opportunities
for
youth
on
the
north
side
and
currently
those
occur
on
wednesday
afternoons
and
sunday
mornings,
with
weekly
programs.
There's
about
30
youth
right
now
from
north
minneapolis
to
participate
in
the
program
next
slide.
Please.
O
So
we
operate
a
nine-hole
golf
course
at
fort
snelling.
Most
people
just
call
it
the
fort.
We
have
a
30-year
lease
agreement
with
the
minnesota
dnr,
which
is
expires
after
the
2029
golf
season.
There's
a
large
population
of
seniors
and
veterans
who
play
golf
on
a
daily
basis.
There
we
receive
a
20
000
a
year,
grant
from
a
county
that
allows
veterans
to
play
at
a
reduced
rate,
it's
home
to
very
popular
and
active
women's
league
which
plays
weekly
from
april
through
september.
O
So
that's
a
little
highlight
from
the
courses
and
I
believe,
if
you'd
like
to
go
to
the
next
slide,
I
would
be
happy
to
take
any
questions
that
any
commissioners
may
have.
K
Okay,
I
only
see
one
hand
up
commissioner
severson.
D
Thank
you,
chair
french,
mr
umphrey.
This
was
impressive.
I
appreciate
this.
I
should
have
asked
for
this
earlier,
highlighting
this
recreation
opportunity
to
the
general
public.
I
do
have
a
few
questions
with
meadowbrook
going
out
for
bid.
Are
we
planning
on
building
something
that'll
be
more
like
theater
worth
and
in
columbia?
Where
folks,
who
have
weddings
all
class
reunions
birthdays
community
events?
Are
we
just
gonna
do
something
you
know
just
small
in
general,.
O
All
right,
chair
french,
commissioner
steverson
right
now.
The
plans
that
we've
been
reviewing
are
for
a
smaller
and
assistant
superintendent.
Schroeder
would
be
a
little
more
well-versed,
but
I
think
it's
about
a
1300
square
foot
facility,
so
not
a
giant
banquet
hall
with
with
big
kitchens
and
all
that
I
think
the
the
cost
of
building
something
like
that
was
a
little
prohibitive
plus.
We
have
different
issues
with
zoning
and
building
things
at
hopkins
they're
a
little
a
little
tougher
to
deal
with.
O
D
Don't
we
make
a
ton
of
money
off
rentals
at
columbia
and
and
worth
the
chalets,
with
weddings
and
birthdays
and
community
events?
Our.
O
D
Are
we
they're
it's
pretty
book,
though,
right
from
from
what
I've
noticed,
it's
pretty
solidly
booked
out
yeah
columbia,.
O
D
You
know
I,
I
would
hope
that
we
would
go
back
and
review
what
this
might
look
like
I
mean
if
these
are
booked
out.
It's
quite
obvious
that
there's
a
demand
for
it
in
the
the
city,
and
I
I
just
think
it
it'd
be
a
missed
opportunity.
D
If
we're
not
gonna,
you
know
put
something
into
this
course
that
we,
you
know,
can
make
money
that
we
can
make
money
on
not
just
golf,
but
but
these
huge
rentals
that
take
place
and,
like
I
said
they're
in
our
parks,
they're
great
opportunities,
sometimes
they're,
seen
as
adult
places
where
they
can
actually
have
a
liquor
at
these
events
right,
it's
not
quite
often
in
our
parks
that
we
can
have
that.
So
I
don't
know
if
it's
too
late
to
revisit
that.
D
But
I'd
like
to
have
more
of
a
conversation
around
that
in
your
expert
opinion
at
hiawatha.
Are
we
going
to
lose
golfers?
Are
we
going
to
lose
money
with
just
a
9-hole
course
versus
this
18-hole
course
we
currently
have
if
this
vote
gets
approved
next
month
or
whenever
it's
coming.
O
I
can
I
can
speak
from
what
I
know
the
the
business
of
golf
in
minnesota
is
it
is
you
cannot
put
as
many
people
through
a
nine-hole
course,
as
you
can
18-hole
course,
and
based
just
on
you
know
where
we're
at
with
colombia
per
se
this
year
being
under
construction,
the
you
know
the
rounds
are
down,
you
know,
30
percent
or
so,
and
the
revenue
per
round
is
also
down.
D
D
I
see
that
as
a
loss.
I
I
appreciate
you
being
political
on
that
as
much
as
possible.
Do
you
know
how
much
water
we're
pumping
currently
out
of
hiawatha?
I
do
not,
would
you
assume
it's
it's
over
our
exceeded
limit.
O
D
All
right,
you
know,
I
just
I'd
like
to
tell
my
my
fellow
colleagues
that
I
look
at
golf
a
little
bit
differently.
I
look
at
this
as
an
opportunity
for
us
to
bring
money
in
that's
why
I'd
like
to
have
more
of
a
conversation
around
meadow
brooks
clubhouse
or
hopefully
a
chalet.
D
You
know
this
is
a
burden
that
we
could
take
off
the
taxpayers,
some
and-
and
I
I
think
that
we
need
to
invest
in
our
golf
courses
a
little
bit
more
and
and
in
the
end
I
think
we
turn
profits
that
help
fund.
You
know,
hopefully,
youth
programs
that
that
would
be
my
ask
that
maybe
directly
affect
you,
violence,
programs
in
our
community.
So
larry
thanks.
D
You
did
a
great
job
tonight
and
the
last
thing
I'll
say
is:
I
was
supposed
to
be
at
theater
worth
this
morning
with
super
bowl
champion,
tyler
johnson,
hitting
on
the
course-
and
it
kind
of
made
me
sad.
When
I
heard
I
heard
you
talk
about
the
younger
people
that
are
out
on
the
course,
but
it
really
makes
me
happy,
but
this
morning
I
was
gonna,
be
the
oldest
guy
on
the
course
of
six
with
six
of
us
and
not
just
by
a
couple
years
by
by
quite
a
few
years.
D
But
I
I
think
the
good
news
is
is
that
young
people
are
golfing
and
it's
getting
much
more
diverse.
So
thanks
for
your.
K
Time,
commissioners
usage.
G
O
I
care
french
commissioning
music,
I
don't
have
it
readily
available.
I
it
would
probably
be
anecdotal.
We
don't
ask
for
gender
identification
or
age
when
we're
you
know
taking
tea
times
for
patrons
only
time
we
ask
for
proof
of
ages.
If
they're,
renting
a
golf,
cart
or
well,
we
don't
sell
the
sell
any
alcohol,
so
I
would
have
to
look
through
our
registration
system
to
see
if
we
can
pull
that,
but
it
might
be
anecdotal
to
say
you
know
I
could
make
a.
O
G
Okay,
does
the
software
that
we
utilize
for
the
renting
of
golf
or
not
renting
a
golf
sorry,
the
signing
up
for
tea
time
does
that
software
allow
us
to
collect
demographic
data.
O
I
haven't
asked
so
I
I
would
imagine
you
probably
could,
but
it
would
be
voluntary
voluntarily
entered
by
the
the
people,
so
it
it's
different
than
when
we're
taking
like
a
program
registration
for
something.
This
is
basically
someone.
You
know
going
online
and
kind
of
almost
you
know
just
putting.
G
It
in
I've
booked
a
tea
time,
so
I
I
know
how
this
how
it
works
currently,
so
I
I
would
be
interested
in
us
seeing
what
we
can
do
to
collect
demographic,
voluntary
demographic
data
from
people
when
we're
talking
about
future
planning.
It's
incredibly
helpful
for
us
to
understand
what
the
trends
are
amongst
various
age
groups,
as
those
trends
can
inform
how
we
support
the
golf
courses
moving
forward
anecdotally,
I
can
tell
you
that
the
young
people
in
my
life,
they
only
play
nine
holes,
they
don't
have
time
to
play
18.
G
and
if
we're
trying
to
be
expanding
more
and
more
options
for
younger
people
to
play,
it
may
be
more
attractive
to
them
to
have
more
nine
whole
tea
times
be
open,
and
that
sort
of
thing.
So,
if
we
could
better
understand
that,
I
think
that
it
would
be
helpful
for
us
in
terms
of
making
policy
around
how
we
utilize
this
asset
in
our
system.
G
I'm
also
interested
in
understanding
what
the
status
is
of
the
control
and
mitigation
of
damage
to
the
courses
from
the
european
chafer
is
particularly
at
hiawatha.
Do
you
have
information
about
that
to
share
with
us
this
evening.
G
G
Okay,
fantastic,
and
then
you
mentioned
first,
he
had
just
a
handful
of
the
course
locations.
I
had
my
son
enrolled
in
that
program.
It
was
at
all
seven
and
prp
courses
is,
is
it
still
being
offered
at
all
courses,
or
is
it
only
at
the
locations
that
you
mentioned
on
your
presentation.
O
Right
now,
the
first
of
it's
not
it
see
it
used
to
be
first
tee
of
minneapolis.
Now
it's
first
tee
the
twin
cities,
so
saint
paul
and
minneapolis
share
a
chapter.
Now
we
used
to
have
our
own
chapter
in
minneapolis,
but
right
now,
first
tee
is
being
offered
at
the
courses
that
have
learning
centers,
which
is
gross
columbia
and
hiawatha.
G
Okay,
and
are
we
assessing
whether
or
not
there
is
demand
to
have
it
at
the
other
locations?
I
know.
Sometimes
transportation
can
be
a
real
issue
for
young
families
in
particular.
That
may
be
interested
in
participating
in
these
programs.
O
Yeah
we've
actually
been
in
discussion
with
our
with
our
golf
pros
about
potentially
doing.
We
can't
call
it
first,
tea
of
minneapolis
our
first
tee
that
the
city
has
been
doing
another
round
of
youth
golf
lessons
and
opportunities
at
our
other
courses
as
well.
So
I
wouldn't
be
surprised
if
later
in
the
summer,
something
like
that
rolls
out.
G
It
was
just
a
real
confidence
builder
and
the
the
support
the
kids
get
to
be
confident
in
being
out
on
the
course
with
adults
is
instrumental
in
in
having
them
be
able
to
go
out
there
and
play
the
game
even
without
an
adult
advocating
for
them.
So
yeah.
Thank
you,
those,
oh
one,
more
question.
Sorry,
do
we
use
tax
dollars
to
operate
the
nprb
golf
courses
or
are
they
funded
entirely
through
the
enterprise
fund.
G
K
Thank
you,
commissioner,
music
secretary
ringo.
How
are
our
time
sensitive
item
our
hearings?
Looking
right
now,
do
we
have
folks
who,
like
to.
A
Thank
you,
chair
french.
We
do
have
the
chair
for
the
6
30
public
hearing
who
just
came
on
so
ideally
if
we
were
ready
or
if
we
could
recess
and
go
over
to
the
planning
committee
to
at
least
hold
that
public
hearing.
That
would
be
ideal.
I
think.
K
A
I
think
you
you
have
time
to
get
at
least
one
more
one
more
comment
from
commissioners:
okay,.
D
Yeah,
I
just
sorry,
I
have
one
more
question,
thanks
for
recognizing
me
again
to
your
friends,
the
learning
centers
they
all
have
heating
ranges.
That's
why
they're
the
options
for
first
tee
correct.
D
Okay,
that's
that's
what
I
what
I
suspected
last
question,
some
of
our
former
leaders
in
the
park
board
quite
often
referred
or
said
that
golf
is
dead
or
golf
is
dying
in
your
expert
opinion.
Is
golf
dead
or
is
golf
dying.
Mr
umphrey.
O
Chair
of
french
commissioner
severson,
so
I
may
have
a
bias
view,
but
I
think
golf
is
in
a
resurgent
a
renaissance
and
I
hope
that
we
continue
to
build
on
what
we've
done
the
last
couple
years.
There
are
so
many
more
people
in
the
game,
and
so
many
young
people
joining
the
game
and
investing
in
the
game
that
I'm
hoping
we
can
build
on
the
momentum
that
we
have.
K
Thank
you,
commissioner
stevenson.
I
will
recess
recreation,
the
recreation
committee.
E
B
K
E
Thank
you
two
notes
about
the
agenda.
First
item
248
was
recommended
for
removal
by
staff,
so
it'll
be
postponed
into
a
later
meeting
and
then
we'll
do
the
seat
of
riverside
resolution
before
the
kennedy
park.
One
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda
to
that
effect,
as
well
as
the
minutes
of
june,
2nd
2021.

Q
Q
Q
Q
This
project
is
funded
by
three
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars
of
state
ko
bond
funds.
There
are
currently
no
funds
available
for
the
design
and
construction
of
this
project.
Next
slide
I'd
like
to
recognize
the
park
board's
partners,
as
they
have
dedicated
significant
resources
in
time
to
advance
this
project
forward,
hillsborough
united
communities
or
puc
augsburg
university.
The
ymca
and
mhealth
fairview
met
with
the
park
board
monthly
throughout
the
duration
of
this
project.
Next
slide.
Q
For
those
who
don't
know
a
pre-design
identifies
and
documents
the
project's
scope,
purpose,
cost
and
schedule
of
a
capital
project
before
large
sums
of
money
are
invested
in
many
ways.
This
is
a
master
plan
for
our
building
project.
Next
slide,
it's
important
to
note
the
unique
ownership
structure
that
exists
currently
at
the
bryan
coil
community
center,
the
center
opened
in
1992
within
curry
park.
The
coil
center
is
owned
by
mprb.
However,
the
building
was
leased
to
puc
through
a
99-year
lease
with
70
years
currently
remaining
because
of
the
duration
of
the
lease.
Q
Q
This
project,
initiated
in
the
summer
of
2019,
was
extended
due
to
the
pandemic,
as
the
project
has
progressed,
the
park
board
has
been
clear
with
community
around
the
project
timeline
for
a
design
and
construction
project
which
is
currently
not
funded.
If
state
bond
funds
for
design
and
construction
were
to
advance
within
the
next
typical
bonding
package
in
2022,
a
new
center
could
theoretically
open
summer
of
2025
at
the
earliest.
Next
slide.
Q
As
planning
staff
initiated
this
project,
it
was
important
to
understand
the
unique
demographics
of
cedar
riverside
west
of
cedar
avenue
people
of
color
make
up
84
of
the
population,
which
includes
a
very
high
proportion
of
young
children
at
18
compared
to
the
city-wide
average
of
6.7
percent.
Additionally,
the
median
income
in
cedar
riverside
is
35
000
lower
than
the
city-wide
median
income.
Next
slide.
Q
Understanding
these
community
demographics
led
directly
to
the
methods
and
strategies
employed
to
engage
the
cedar
riverside
community,
with
the
assistance
of
syed
ali
from
the
strategic
planning
department
and
abdirahman
mukhtar
from
community
outreach
staff,
hosted
six
community
advisory
committee
meetings
four
before
the
pandemic
and
two
during
most
meetings
included
meals
and
language
interpretation,
and
they
were
scheduled
on
regular
intervals
to
avoid
conflicts
with
other
neighborhood
meetings.
Next
slide
staff
utilize
typical
engagement
strategies
as
well,
such
as
the
project
website,
email
notices,
collaboration
with
neighborhood.
Q
Q
Beyond
a
traditional
survey,
cac
members
and
the
general
public
participated
in
program
prioritization
exercises
that
required
difficult
decisions,
pitting
desired
program,
spaces
against
each
other.
The
results
of
these
exercises
were
tabulated
with
high
priority
program
spaces,
making
their
way
into
the
final
pre-design
next
slide.
Q
In
bringing
the
cac
and
the
general
public
through
this
process,
multiple
scenarios
were
presented
that
were
responsive
to
the
space
programming
and
funding
realities
of
the
project.
Additionally,
options
were
provided
intended
to
force
difficult
decisions
on
the
part
of
the
cac
and
the
community
next
slide.
Q
As
staff
and
our
consultant
team
began
to
craft
the
draft
pre-designed
report,
there
were
three
key
project
variables
that
remained
unresolved,
that
the
report
needed
to
be
responsive
to
first,
the
puc
lease
negotiation,
as
I
stated
earlier
in
the
eyes
of
the
state,
the
coil
center
is
not
a
public
building.
The
pre-design
report
needed
to
be
flexible
to
a
future
where
the
lease
is
renegotiated,
which
puc
is
open
to
and
a
future
where
it
is
not.
Q
Secondly,
while
there
is
a
currently
viable
site
for
the
new
recreation
center,
the
pre-design
report
indicates
that
other
factors
may
shift
the
final
location
of
the
facility
I'll
get
to
that
in
an
upcoming
slide.
And
finally,
we
do
not
know
how
much
funding
will
be
provided
by
the
state
and
others.
If
any,
the
resulting
report
attempts
to
remain
scalable
for
the
scenarios
where
less
funding
is
allocated
than
may
be
otherwise
necessary
to
build
the
full
facility.
Q
Q
Before
I
focus
in
on
each
of
the
individual
scenarios,
I'd
like
to
focus
in
on
scenario
one
and
five
highlighted
on
the
left
side
scenario-
one
is
the
cac
and
partner
team
recommended
scenario
for
this
project.
This
scenario
is
built
upon
the
resolution
of
all
the
project
variables,
the
lease
the
building
location
and
the
project
funding,
because
this
project
is
bond
funded
and
the
state
requires
that
you
demonstrate
a
project
that
is
feasible
within
the
existing
conditions.
Q
We
have
provided
scenario,
five,
the
currently
viable
scenario,
scenario:
five
is
the
scenario
around
which
the
pre-designed
report
is
based
and
is
the
scenario
that
is
subject
to
this
pre-design
approval.
However,
if
this
project
is
funded,
the
approval
of
this
pre-design
will
not
limit
mprb
from
working
toward
the
implementation
of
scenario
1
or
any
other
option.
I
will
now
present
next
slide.
Q
This
scenario
would
serve
the
largest
amount
of
people,
while
also
offering
mprb
the
opportunity
to
expand
curry
park
and
provide
much
needed
additional
open
space
in
one
of
the
densest
residential
neighborhoods
in
minneapolis
next
slide
scenario.
2
is
built
around
the
same
model
and
program
as
scenario
one
but
recognizes
that
property
outside
of
curry
park
may
never
be
available
to
mprb.
Q
Q
Q
Scenario:
four
is
built
around
a
renegotiated
lease
with
puc
and
ample
site
opportunities,
but
with
capital
funding
limiting
the
size
of
the
building.
In
this
case,
the
program
is
adjusted
to
provide
efficiencies
wherever
possible,
while
eliminating
some
of
the
services
that
were
desired,
but
not
prioritized
by
community.
Q
Q
Q
The
state
of
minnesota
requires
that
the
pre-design
locate
the
proposed
facility
on
land
within
mprb's
control,
similar
to
scenario
3.
The
park
board
would
pursue
a
dedicated,
nprb
recreation
center
within
curry
park
that
is
generally
in
line
with
the
more
typical
rec
center
and
the
coil
center
would
remain.
This
is
the
scenario
around
which
the
entire
report
is
written.
Next
slide.
Q
The
report
also
clearly
explores
alternate
locations
on
the
west
side
of
cedar
riverside,
specifically
lot
a
owned
by
the
city
and
county
and
lot
f
owned
by
a
private
developer.
If
this
project
is
fully
funded,
mprb
would
resume
discussions
regarding
the
use
of
adjacent
properties
for
a
new
recreation
center
that
could
be
co-located
with
other
uses.
Q
Q
We've
worked
to
demonstrate
how
this
pre-design
connects
to
both
the
2007
to
2020
comprehensive
plan,
as
you
can
see
here
next
slide
and
the
draft
parks
for
all
comprehensive
plan.
As
you
may
know,
request
phase
3
is
wrapped
into
the
parks
for
all
project
and
include
specific
implementation
guidelines
for
the
mprv
recreation
system.
We've
done
the
work
of
ensuring
that
this
pre-design
is
responsive
to
not
only
the
specific
engagement
of
this
project,
but
also
the
organizational
recreation
center
goal.
Citywide
next
slide.
Q
As
we
look
at
the
financial
analysis
included
within
this
pre-design,
it
is
clear
that
significant
investment
likely
from
the
state
among
other
sources
will
be
necessary
to
move
this
project
from
pre-design
to
design
and
construction.
Capital
costs
are
anticipated
to
range
from
20
to
34
million
dollars.
Q
Q
Q
Now
we'll
try
again
if
cac
share
be,
he
is
still
on
the
call
if
you
can
unmute,
and
this
can
now
address
the
planning
committee.
Thank
you.

Hi,
my

I've

R
And
I'm
really
excited
about
this
because,
as
you
all
know,
see
the

jason's

always
east
of

lot
of
facilities
from
the
park
and
for
resources.
So
we
are
very
excited
and
looking
forward
for
your
approval
number
one.
The
community
has
been
asking
minneapolis
public
parks
for
more
recreation
services
in
cedar
riverside
for
many
years,
and
the
approval
of
this
project
would
be
a
first
step
toward
bringing
these
services
to
the
community.
R
Minneapolis
parks
staff
engaged
the
cac
and
the
community
in
an
open
and
transparent
way
throughout
the
two-year
project
through
copied,
and
the
engagement
has
been
responsive
to
the
unique
demographics
to
the
riverside
saying,
elders,
young
people,
adults,
children
were
part
of
that.
The
cat
understands
that
the
british
sign
shows
a
new
recreation
center
in
kerry
park
and
knows
that
when
this
project
is
funded,
staff
will
work
to
find
an
alt
ultimate
site
for
the
recreation
center,
so
that
kerry
park
can
be
made
larger.
R
My
last
statement
is
that
cac
strongly
recommends
the
approval
of
this
free
design,
so
that
minneapolis
parks
can
begin
the
process
of
seeking
funding
for
the
design
and
construction
of
this
much
needed
new
facility.
I
want
to
last
say
thank
you
to
daniel
saeed
and
adraman,
who
really
made
this
long
process
very
smooth
and
engaging.
E
I
just
want
to
confirm
also
from
staff
as
of
5
pm.
No
one
had
signed
up
for
the
public
hearing,
for
this
did
anyone
jump
into
the
waiting
room
while
this
was
going
on.
A
E
Okay,
if
there
is,
if
there
is
anyone
who
is
in
the
public
hearing-
and
you
can
hear
me-
you
can
speak
now-
if
you
were
intended
to
do
that.
Otherwise,
we'll
proceed
to
this
and
I'll
just
say
my
comments,
I'm
very
happy
to
see
this
come
forward.
E
I
strongly
share
the
goal
of
finding
an
alternative
site
for
the
rec
center,
because
I
think
it
would
be
really
really
great
if
we
could
expand
credit
park,
because
we
need
more
open
space
in
this
neighborhood,
but
I
understand
the
procedural
reasons
why
we
have
to
include
the
option
to
have
it
on
curry
park,
because
that's
the
land
that
we
currently
own
when
this
passes.
I
will
be
very
happy
to
add
this
to
our
legislative
agenda.
F
I
just
wanted
to
concur:
I'm
very
excited
about
the
process.
First
of
all,
thank
you,
bihi
for
your
leadership
and,
of
course,
staff,
daniel
and
syed.
F
E
E
Right
we
did
not
have
anybody
signed
in
to
speak
for
this
one
if,
if
there
was
anyone
who
joined
us,
please
let
me
know,
but
we
did
have
two
written
comments
that
were
submitted
secretary
ringgold.
Can
you
I'm
sorry,
I
guess
we
should
do
the
presentation.
First
is
mr
elias:
can
you
do
the
presentation
on
this?
Please.
Q
Yes,
absolutely
thank
you,
jeremiah
commissioners,
deputy
super
or
deputy
secretary.
Q
Q
Kenny
park
is
sandwiched
between
anthony
middle
school
and
kenny
elementary
school
on
the
southern
end
of
the
southwest
surface
area.
The
park
currently
includes
multi-use
fields,
tennis
courts,
a
half
court,
basketball
court,
a
wading
pool
a
small
recreation
center
and
a
playground
last
rehabbed
in
1997
next
slide.
Q
The
master
plan
does
not
make
wholesale
changes
to
the
park.
It
does
propose
a
new
splash
pad,
replacing
the
wading
pool.
We
relocated
south
of
the
existing
recreation
center.
The
removal
of
ball
diamonds
to
be
replaced
with
artificial
turf
fields,
expanded
basketball,
court
and
expansion
of
the
playground,
which
is
the
subject
of
this
concept.
Plan
approval,
request
next
slide
projects
funded
by
mpp
20
funds
as
well
as
park,
dedication
fees
and
the
recently
approved
kenny
parent
foundation
donation.
Q
Q
For
the
community
engagement
on
this
project,
we
held
six
key
stakeholder
meetings
with
the
kennedy:
neighborhood
association,
the
kennedy
parent
foundation,
the
anthony
site
council
and
meetings
with
minneapolis
public
school
project
managers
working
on
an
adjacent
project.
We
had
an
online
survey
that
had
190
engagements.
Q
Q
Q
There
was
support
for
the
current
swings
and
monkey
bars
and
large
structures
and
slides
and
for
this
project,
all
major
features
of
the
existing
5
to
12
playground
are
going
to
be
preserved
with
new
decks
and
slide
features
and
the
repainting
of
the
faded
metal
elements
there
is.
There
was
a
desire
for
a
new
large
climbing
structure
to
be
added
to
the
playground.
Q
Q
Overall,
we
are
preserving
elements
of
this
playground
that
still
function,
replacing
all
the
sand
surfacing
with
engineered
wood,
fiber
and
providing
new
rubber
surfacing.
We're
repainting
faded
metal
elements
we're
providing
a
new
two
to
five
we're
providing
new
two
to
five
equipment,
that's
better
suited
for
that
age
group
and
we're
expanding
the
play
area
with
a
new
container
focused
on
large
climbing
structures
for
school-aged
children.
Q
The
existing
5
to
12
year
old
container
again
will
get
new
surfacing
decks,
slides
with
some
new
connecting
features
to
meet
current
accessibility
requirements.
This
constant
plan
concept
plan
generally
maintains
the
existing
play
equipment,
saving
money
and
allowing
for
the
expansion
of
the
play
of
play
in
the
new
container,
guided
by
the
master
plan.
Next
slide.
Q
Well,
in
the
2-5
container
again,
we'll
have
new
surfacing
we'll
retain
the
swing
structure,
we'll
have
new
equipment
better
suited
for
this
age
group,
while
also
maintaining
functionality
for
school-aged
children
and
we'll
replace
the
existing
seesaw
with
a
new
accessible
unit
as
school
staff
noted.
This
was
a
well
used
feature
next
slide
in
the
new
5
to
12
year
old
container,
that
was
funded
with
the
donation.
From
the
kennedy
parent
foundation,
we
used
their
feedback
to
select
this
equipment.
Q
Q
So
we
have
the
concept
plan
approval
tonight.
It
would,
in
theory,
come
to
the
full
board
at
our
next
meeting.
We're
sort
of
queuing
up
for
hopefully
the
equipment
procurement
through
the
state
contract,
and
the
goal
here
really
is
to
start
construction
and
limit
the
amount
of
time
that
we're
disrupting
the
school
year
for
the
completion
of
this
playground.
Project
next
slide.
E
A
A
I
certainly
can
sorry,
as
I
shuffle
my
papers
here
so
the
first
comment
is
from
chris
heinzman,
I'm
a
local
kenny
resident
with
two
small
children
who
will
be
attending
kenny
school.
I
think
the
park
looks
great,
but
strongly
encourage
the
mprb
to
upgrade
the
existing
pool
to
a
shallow
pool,
not
a
splash
pad.
We
often
seek
out
pools
for
our
girls
in
the
summer,
as
both
of
our
girls
can
use
them.
However,
only
my
youngest
can
really
use
and
or
enjoy
a
splash
pad.
I
would
imagine
this
is
the
case
with
many
parents.
A
If
the
nprb
is
investing
in
this
new
amenity,
it
makes
sense
to
target
it
to
many
kids,
not
just
the
youngest.
The
second
comment
comes
from
nicole
wilson.
I
am
a
kenny
resident
with
two
children
who
attend
or
will
attend
kenny
school
and
who
both
frequently
use
and
love
the
park
and
wading
pool,
I'm
thrilled
to
see
the
park
improvements
plan
and
have
two
suggestions.
A
Please
strongly
consider
upgrading
the
current
wading
pool
instead
of
changing
to
a
splash
pad.
My
older
daughter
has
diagnosed
sensory
processing
issues
and,
with
these
issues,
she's
unable
to
participate
at
splash
pads
due
to
the
spraying
and
blowing
water,
the
current
calm,
kenny
pool
has
been
so
wonderful
and
therapeutic
for
her.
I
encourage
you
to
consider
other
kids
with
sensory
issues.
A
Second,
it's
hard
to
tell
from
the
playground
design
pictures,
but
I
encourage
you
to
consider
a
ground
covering
other
than
sand
or
gravel
to
contain
mess
and
all
and
also
again,
to
be
thoughtful
towards
kids
with
sensory
issues.
My
daughter
struggles
to
play
with
sand
and
rocks
struggles
to
play
when
sans
and
rocket
in
her
shoes.
Thank
you
so
much
for
hearing
my
feedback.
F
Fournier,
sorry,
I
didn't
see
you
I
apologize
dan.
I
I
need
to
ask
you
any
response.
I
it
seems
to
me
that
there
has
been
a
stronger
request
for
splash
pads
than
wading
pools
of
late
and
if
you
could
open
up
any
of
that,
I
really
appreciate
it.
Q
Yeah
so
those
comments
while
they
came
during
this
public
hearing
for
the
playground.
Sorry,
thank
you,
commissioner
forney
they
came
for
the
this
playground
project.
I
think
they're
generally
about
the
master
plan
overall,
which
is
proposing
a
replacement
of
the
waiting
pool
with
the
splash
pad,
which
is
you
know,
not
the
subject
of
this
approval.
But
it's
definitely
something
I
can
comment
on.
Q
Q
They
provide
a
different
type
of
play
than
a
wading
pool
really
can,
and
I
think
I'd
probably
have
to
lean
on
others
to
really
provide
much
more
feedback.
I
haven't
been
receiving
direct
feedback
around
the
kenny
waiting
pool
to
splash
pad
conversion,
specifically.
F
E
A
Chairmeyer,
I'm
not
certain,
I
record
well,
I
know
I
didn't
record,
I'm
not
certain.
I
heard
someone
moved
this
particular
item,
but
I
might
have
missed
it.
E
Oh,
my
apologies.
If
they
didn't,
is
there
a
motion
to
move
resolution?
2021-246.
Thank
you
secretary.
Please
call
it
all.
N
R
E
E
Thank
you.
So
this
resolution
contains
the
same
content
that
passed
the
board
as
amended,
except
that
it
excludes
the
portion
with
renaming,
which
requires
a
six-foot
threshold
at
the
full
board,
only
requires
a
majority
tonight,
but
will
require
six
votes
past
the
full
board.
So
this
resolution,
as
has
changed,
includes
everything
except
the
renaming.
D
Thank
you
chairman
for
recognizing
me.
You
know
folks.
I
I
think
that
we
need
to
go
back
to
the
drawing
board
on
this,
as
one
of
the
leaders
in
my
community
says
quite
often,
and
I
quote,
lynn
crockett,
there's
more
than
one
way
to
skin
a
cat.
That's
what
she
tells
me
all
the
time.
D
It's
not
just
this
one
way
I
I
would
encourage
us
to
to
go
back
and
and
figure
out
a
way
that
would
be
advantageous
for
all
city
users
and
not
just
a
select
few
that
are
are
pushing
this
agenda.
There's
a
way
to
keep
this
light
clean,
there's
other
options
out
there.
So
I
I
would
ask
my
colleagues
on
this
committee
to
to
vote
and
all
this
event
thanks.
K
E
R
F
E
E
K
I'd
like
to
reconvene
the
recreation
committee
director
humphreys
humphreys,
are
you
still
available?
Are
you
still
on
the
call.
K
All
right,
I
know
I
text
you
earlier
about
maybe
asking
a
few.
Did
anybody
else?
Have
any
questions
about
the
presentation
that
director
humphreys
has
any
questions
any
other
commissioners
have
any
questions,
all
right,
okay,
great
job?
Thank
you
for
coming
and
presenting
at
us
to
us.
I
I
guess
I
have
a
few
questions
about
north
carolina's
pool.
Is
that
okay
for
you
to
answer
right
now?
Do
you
have
time
and
capacity
to
answer
some
of
these
questions.
K
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
it
point
of
information.
K
G
I
think
you're
the
chair,
so
I
guess
you
get
to
decide
what's
okay,
to
discuss.
Thank.
K
You
appreciate
it
what
what
I
know
we
we
were
averaging
about
150,
120,
kids
or
120
guests
per
day
at
the
common
at
the
north
commons
pool.
Is
that
correct,
or
is
that,
is
that
pretty
much
is
that
kind
of
close
to
the
numbers.
O
Chair
french,
we
did
get
some
attempted
information
from
there.
The
excuse
me,
prior
to
the
pool
becoming
free
of
charge.
The
five
days
prior,
we
were
averaging
about
250
people.
O
The
five
days
since
it
was
free,
the
average
number
through
the
gates,
was
about
405..
There
was
about
a
60
percent
increase.
K
Thank
you
very
much.
Anybody
else
have
any
questions
about
north
carolina's
pool
that
they
wanted
to
ask
director.
K
G
On
behalf
of
the
operations
and
environment
committee,
I'll
call
this
vinnie
to
order
deputy
superintendent
wrangled
secretary

Could
you
please
take
the
role.
A
Thank
you,

Can
you
indicate
your
presence
again
with

your

Thank
you,

Thank
you

seeing
any

secretary

Can
you
please
call
the
roll.
E
G
Have
five
eyes
motion
carries.
Thank
you
this
evening
we
have
a
study
report
item
and
we're
joined
by
assistant
superintendent,
barrack,
director,
evanson
and
project
park
project
assistance
manager.
Chris
roche,
welcome
to
the
park
board
chris
we're
happy
to
have
you
here
so
gentlemen.
I
will
let
you
take
it
away
with
our
update
on
how
we're
moving
forward
into
modern
times
with
life
asset
life,
cycle
management.
L
Yes,
good
evening,
commissioners
and
chair
music,
thank
you,
yeah,
pretty
excited
to
bring
to
bring
this
forward
and
I'll
credit
to
jeff
and
chris.
Here
on
this,
as
many
of
you
know,
it's
it's
not
uncommon
for
folks
to
inquire
about
the
condition
of
our
trails
and
either
tennis
courts,
basketball,
courts
or
just
courts
in
general,
and
so
something
that
we've
been
focused
on
over
the
past
year
and
a
half
is
getting
a
an
analysis
of
those
things
with
a
plan
to
move
forward
in
routinely
maintaining
them
in
a
proactive
way.
L
And
so
that's.
What
we
have
here
tonight
is
a
presentation
summary
of
the
project
that
we've
put
together
the
program
we've
put
together
and
opening
this
conversation
sharing
this
information,
so
that
when
you
get
questions
about
courts
and
trails,
we
have
a
bit
more
information
to
share
with
constituents
and
we
have
a
bit
more
of
a
plan
in
getting
into
a
proactive
system.
So
I'm
going
to
turn
this
over
to
chris
and
we're
excited
to
have
chris
on
board.
L
As
commissioner
music
mentioned,
chris
joined
us
officially
and
was
a
park
board
employee
about
a
month
ago.
I
suppose
now,
prior
to
that,
he
has
been
involved
with
some
of
our
projects
through
planning
as
a
consultant,
as
well
as
some
of
our
playground
projects
in
asset
management.
So
we're
excited
to
have
him
on
the
team
and
I'll.
Let
chris
take
it
away
in
his
work
to
speak
for
itself.
V
Awesome,
thank
you,
jeremy,
and
thank
you
for
having
me.
I
am
and
thank
you
for
the
the
the
welcome
chair
music.
I'm
very
excited
to
be
here.
I've
been
around
the
park
board
for
a
long
time
and
I'm
very
a
part
of
the
asset
management
team.
V
So
what
I'm
going
to
be
going
through
today
is
really
as
going
to
introduce
the
asset
management
life
cycle
that
we
other
presentation
I'm
going
to
kind
of
fly
through,
but
it's
really
going
to
be
talking
about
both
the
theory
of
the
system
kind
of
the
practice,
the
program
that
we're
putting
together.
That
applies
across
all
all
assets
and
also
kind
of
the
practical
application
of
it
that
we're
trying
to
pilot
this
year
next
slide.
V
V
So
what
we're
going
to
be
going
through
here
is
really
starting
off
with
what
we're
trying
to
solve
for
what
is
life
cycle
program
right
like
what
are
we
developing
then
looking
at
why
we
chose
courts
and
trails,
as
jeremy
mentioned,
as
kind
of
our
first
pilot
for
life
cycles,
looking
at
the
implementation
of
those
this
year,
you
know
with
the
goal
of
doing
these
life
cycle
programs
of
actually
doing
work,
maintaining
maintaining
assets
and
rehabbing
assets.
V
Looking
at
next
steps
and
other
assets-
and
you
know
the
other
benefits
and
program
refinement
that
are
going
to
come
out
of
this.
The
life
cycle
program
is
really
a
base
which
we
can
build
off
of
next
slide.
Please,
so
I'm
going
to
actually
just
read
this.
What
are
we
solving
for?
V
I
think
this
is
a
really
important
place
to
start
we're
executing
this
program,
because
our
facilities
and
assets
need
to
meet
a
level
of
service
and
safety
in
order
to
achieve
mprb's
mission
and
purpose
of
providing
places
and
recreation
opportunities
for
all
people
to
gather,
celebrate,
contemplate
and
engage
in
activities
that
promote
health,
well-being,
community
and
the
environment.
Due
to
the
depreciation,
just
the
natural
occurrence
of
of
depreciation
of
our
facilities
and
assets
over
time,
this
level
of
service
and
safety
cannot
be
achieved
over
the
lifespan
of
an
asset
without
intervention.
V
So
that's
kind
of
a
high
lofty
statement
of
pretty
much
saying
stuff
breaks
down
if
we
want
to
maintain
it
to
a
level
that
meets
our
standards
and
allows
us
to
do,
programming
allows
allows
youth
to
interact
with
these
spaces.
Allows
seniors
to
interact
with
these
spaces,
allows
anybody
to
the
park
to
actually
use
these
spaces.
We
have
to
maintain
them
on
kind
of
a
regular
intervention.
Next
slide.
Please.
V
So
what
is
an
asset
lifecycle
program?
It's
a
strategic
plan
for
how
an
asset
is
maintained
during
its
lifespan
and
what
it
accomplishes.
I
think
this
is
really
important
and
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna
harp
on
these
kind
of
points
here,
because
this
is
really
the
the
meat
of
of
this
presentation
and
really
why
we're
doing
this
a
life
cycle
program,
a
strategic
plan
is
a
more
deliberate
and
equitable
treatment
of
our
assets.
V
It
looks
at
all
of
our
assets
and
set
across
the
system
and
in
in
plans
for
the
future
and
plans
for
their
lifespan.
It
looks
at
them
equitably
and
doesn't
just
address
what
I
would
call
the
squeaky
wheel
right.
It
addresses
things
as
they're
needed
and
looks
at
the
actual
condition
of
our
assets.
It
provides
the
standard
level
of
service
across
our
system.
V
It
provides
a
predictable
yearly
expense.
So
what
we're
going
to
show
later
in
this
presentation
is
that
we're
actually
able
to
by
quantifying
everything
that
we
have
understanding,
what
its
lifespan
is,
understanding
the
maintenance
interventions
and
then
understanding
what
the
costs
are.
We
were
able
to
say
maintaining
our
courts
to
this
level
costs
this
much
per
year
and
that's
really
valuable
when
we're
looking
at
budgeting
and
understanding
what
what
it
would
take
to
you
know.
V
If
we
want
to
install
a
new
basketball
court
or
a
new
canvas
court
or
a
new
section
of
trail,
it
extends
the
lifespan
of
assets
and
overall
cost
savings
by
actually
doing
some
of
this
intermediate
maintenance
before
things
break
down
to
a
certain
level.
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
later
too,
and
it's
a
transparent
plan
that
can
be
shared
with
stakeholders,
so
a
similar
kind
of
using
as
an
example
of
the
capital
improvement
program
we
come.
V
We
say
these
are
the
projects
that
that
planning
and
the
project
team
are
going
to
be
working
on
in
the
future.
This
would
be
really
similar,
but
for
the
rehab
and
the
maintenance
of
our
assets.
So
we're
able
to
say
in
the
next
goal
if,
by
instituting
this
program,
the
goal
in
the
next
three
years.
These
are
all
the
sites
that
are
going
to
be
getting.
V
V
So
I'm
going
to
fly
through
these
next
slide,
really
quick.
We
decided
in
2021
through
prioritizing
looking
at
all
of
our
assets
and
understanding
what
would
be
good
assets
to
to
use
the
pilot
to
unders
to
kind
of
launch
this
life
cycle
thinking
and
program.
Looking
at
all
the
things
on
the
left,
looking
at
their
conditions,
looking
at
from
staff
feedback,
what
are
some?
What
are
some
assets
that
aren't
that
we're
really
struggling
with
that?
V
Maybe
they're
not
up
to
the
level
of
standard
that
we
would
want
and
the
two
kind
of
main
assets
that
we
came
out
or
this
year
are
looking
at
our
courts,
both
our
basketball,
tennis
and
you
know
pickleball
courts
as
well,
and
then
our
regional
trail
system,
the
the
convenient
thing
with
both
of
these
is
they're,
both
asphalt
based
assets
and
that
provides
kind
of
a
gives
us
some
efficiency
in
how
we've
worked
out
these
plans
next
slide.
Please.
V
V
Like
what
we
wanted
to
do
was
kind
of
a
little
bit
in
a
vacuum
say
like
what
is
the
ideal?
What
do
we
want
to
accomplish?
What
do
we
need
to
do
to
achieve
the
level
of
service
that
we
want,
and
we
came
up
with
by
by
looking
or
using
kind
of
the
program
input,
so
those
were
doing
interviews
and
engagement
with
staff.
We
looked
at
our
current
processes
and
procedures.
Looked
at
industry
best
practices,
so
you
know
what
are
other
cities
doing?
V
V
I
won't
go
through
all
the
details
of
the
kind
of
the
interventions
themselves,
but
when
looking
at
courts
and
trails,
because
they're
asphalt
based
assets,
they're
really
similar,
the
life
cycle
of
30
years
was
looking
to
do
interventions
every
seven
or
eight
years.
So
this
would
be
three
cycles
of
intervention
in
the
lifespan
of
these
assets,
so
for
courts
that
would
be
things
like
crack
sealing.
You
know
sealing
up
the
cracks
that
that
that
happened
as
as
asphalt
shifts,
doing
the
color
code.
V
That's
the
kind
of
the
the
sealed
layer
on
top
of
the
court
that
provides
both
protection
and
a
surface
to
play
on
and
doing
some
amenity
repair.
So
thinking
about
the
gnats
and
the
fencing
and
things
like
that,
one
other
really
interesting
thing
about
our
courts
is
almost
50.
V
What's
really
interesting
about
trails,
though,
is
about
60
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
of
the
inventory
that
we
did
to
get
this
information
for
trails.
But
sixty
percent
of
our
trails
have
a
score
of
three
out
of
five:
that's
kind
of
serviceable
right,
we're
able
to
do
some
surface
treatment
to
those,
and
so
we're
at
this
really
kind
of
key
point
in
terms
of
trails
to
be
able
to.
V
V
V
We
had
to
understand
what
we
have
out
there.
We
did
that
through
courts
through
a
court
survey
with
our
with
staff
and
then
last
fall
and
into
the
winter.
We
did
a
very
comprehensive
regional
trail
inventory.
This
involved
some
new
technology
that
we've,
I
guess,
the
meshing
of
some
new
technology
that
we
worked
up.
We
ended
up
taking
pictures
every
five
seconds
of
every
single
regional
trail
to
really
understand
what
the
condition
is:
go
back
and
segmentize
all
of
our
trails.
V
So
that's
what
you're
kind
of
seeing
in
the
third
picture
there
and
then
provide
the
conditions
for
them.
We
need
to
know
the
conditions
so
that
we're
able
to
and
have
them
segment
have
them
in
segments
so
that
we
can
say
okay.
This
is
the
segment
we're
doing
in
201
because
of
the
condition.
This
is
the
segment
we're
doing
in
2022,
because
it
has
a
different
condition.
We
enter
that
into
a
life
cycle
model
that
tells
us.
V
You
know
this
is
roughly
when
we're
planning
on
doing
the
maintenance
on
these,
and
then
that
allows
us
to
forecast
budgets
both
yearly
and
both
kind
of
looking
at
individual
years.
This
is
what
we're
looking
at
for
2022
and
generally
across
the
whole
system.
Next
slide,
please!
V
So
how
does
that
look
for
our
asphalt
courts?
You'll
see
we
have
about
117
tennis
courts
in
our
system
about
100
we've
accounted
for
about
67.5
basketball
courts
in
our
system
and
the
difference
between
the
total
and
the
rehab
column
there.
The
rehab
are
ones
that
are
staying
in
the
same
place,
so
those
are
ones
that
we
would
look
at
as
rehab
projects
and
not
part
of
a
broader
capital
project.
V
So
kind
of
the
big
summary
of
this
is
to
do
our
color
code,
those
increment
those
interventions-
we're
looking
at
about
161
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
do
that
to
our
courts
with
the
full
depth
replacement.
What
happens
at
the
end
of
its
lifespan
at
about
500
000,
so
to
maintain
our
current
number
of
quartz
at
the
level
that
I've
laid
out
we're
looking
at
that
at
that
costing
about.
You
know:
660
658
000
next
slide.
Please.
V
Regional
trails-
very,
very
similar-
I
you
know
looking
at
the
program
here
looking
at
about
sealcoating
and
crack
sealing
the
cost
of
about
five
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
a
year
in
the
full
depth
of
placement
of
about
eight
hundred
and
eighty
five
thousand
dollars
a
year.
This.
N
V
This
is
this
is
this
is
something
that
we've
been
doing
sporadically
across
our
system,
but
being
able
to
kind
of
pull
all
the
numbers
together
and
understand.
It
is
really
important
next
slide,
please.
V
So
how
does
that
compare
to
what
we're
currently
doing
and
what
we
currently
have
budgeted
for
courts?
I'll
show
you
on
the
left.
You
have
that
blue
column.
That's
our
model
program!
You
see
that
658
thousand
dollars
what
our
current
budgeting
allows
really
through
npp.
Twenty
dollars
actually
allows
for
about
a
fifty
year
life
cycle
and
but
continuing
that
seven
to
eight
year
maintenance
intervention.
So
you
know
the
difference
between
our
current
budget
of
about
four
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
our
modeled
budget.
V
What
we
would
ideally
like
to
do,
you
know
we're
looking
at
about
a
two
hundred
thousand
dollar
gap.
When
you
look
at
the
our
regional
trail
system,
the
gap
becomes
larger.
On
the
model
program,
we
talked
about
a
little
bit
around
1.4
million
dollars
per
year
to
maintain
and
replace
our
trails
and
our
current
budget.
V
Our
budget
actually
for
this
year
for
regional
trails,
is
about
500
000.
So
that
gap
is,
you
know,
a
little
under
900
000,
so
when
our
current
budget
would
allow
12
years
maintenance
interventions,
so
every
12
years
we'd
be
doing
a
maintenance
intervention
and
then
only
doing
emergency
repairs.
So,
for
example,
there's
an
there's
a
case
on
say
pedemacosta
on
the
southwest
side,
where
some
erosions
happened
in
the
trail
is
actually
kind
of
eroded
away.
V
Our
current
budget
allows
us
to
do
about.
You
know
ninety
thousand
dollars
worth
of
those
emergency
repairs,
so
we're
looking
right
now
to
figure
out
how
we
fill
these
gaps.
What
are
some
ways
that
we
can
do
that,
but
these
are
kind
of
how
the
numbers
lay
out
right
now
with
our
our
model
program
versus
what
our
current
budget
allows
next
slide.
Please!
V
V
So,
when
looking
at
our
courts,
what
you're
seeing
on
the
right
is
a
map
of
the
courts
that
we're
actually
going
to
be
doing
these
interventions
on
both
crack
ceiling,
color
coding
and
full
depth
replacement.
The
full
depths
are
the
quartz
in
blue
and
the
crack
seal.
Color
coats
are
the
quartz
in
red
about
14
tennis,
courts
and
five
basketball
courts
are
getting
a
crack
ceiling
and
color
code.
V
We
have
this
completed
and
appeal
has
been
issued
for
this
work
and
the
full
depth
rehab,
I'm
looking
at
about
a
one
and
a
half
basketball
courts.
Those
are
at
elliot,
which
is
a
full
court,
basketball
and
bryant
square,
which
is
half
court.
V
We
are
anticipating
that
at
the
july,
21st
meeting
will
be
coming
for
approval
of
that
contract.
So
how
does
that
look
versus
our
life
cycle?
How
are
we
doing
in
our
first
year
we're
doing
about
114
percent
of
our
life
cycle
schedule
for
color
code
and
crack
sealing,
which
is
great,
but
we're
only
doing
about
25
of
the
full
depth
rehab
and
that's
really
just
due
to
the
cost
of
the
full
depth
rehabs
for
our
courts
next
slide.
V
Please
and
then
our
regional
trails
you're,
seeing
on
the
map
on
the
right
you're,
seeing
in
green
the
regional
trails
that
we
are
planning
on,
doing,
crack,
sealing
and
seal
coating
and
striping
on
this
is
about
eight
miles
of
trails.
You'll
see
the
the
locations
there.
We've
had
multiple
bids
on
this
work
this
spring
and
are
expecting
are
in
our
third
time
that
this
has
been
bid
and
are
expecting
a
bid.
Here.
V
V
We're
getting
really
close
to
what
we
need
to
be
doing
with
93
of
the
sealcoating
and
crack
ceiling,
but
we
only
we
are
not
doing
any
full
depth
replacement
of
our
regional
trails
this
year
again
due
to
the
cost
next
slide,
please
so
it
doesn't
really
stop
here.
These
are
really
just
examples
of
the
first
kind
of
assets
that
we're
applying
this.
V
This
thinking
in
this
program,
to
light
almost
I
I
can't
think
of
an
asset
that
doesn't
have
a
life
cycle,
doesn't
have
a
lifespan
that
we
need
to
be
doing
kind
of
consistent
interventions
on,
and
so
we're
linked
out
here,
some
of
the
assets
that
we
have
kind
of
identified,
as
maybe
some
of
the
next
steps
this
what
we'd
be
doing,
is
identifying
going
out
and
getting
actual
inventories
of
what
we
have
getting
condition
scores
and
then
entering
it
into
the
model
that
we've
developed
for
life's
for
the
model,
the
life
cycle
model
that
we've
developed
next
slide,
please,
as
I
as
I
kind
of
alluded
to
in.
V
I
think
one
of
the
first
couple
slides
this.
This
isn't
super
exciting
stuff.
Right
like
it's,
it's
pretty
simple!
It's!
It's
kind
of
it's
standardized
maintenance,
but
what
it
does
by
standardizing
maintenance,
providing
this
consistent
thing
that
happens,
we're
able
to
build
upon
that
to
do
kind
of
some
really.
Hopefully,
some
really
interesting
things.
V
So
if
we
know
every
year,
if
we
know
next
year
that
that
we're
going
to
be
color
coding,
you
know
ten
courts
in
our
parks
and
we
know
where
they
are
we're
able
to
leverage
other
programs
to
actually
piggyback
on
those
things
so
think
about.
You
know,
I'm
showing
some
examples
here,
an
example
of
that
would
be
doing
art
and
murals.
V
We've
already
been
in
discussion
about
that
a
little
bit
so
looking
ahead,
knowing
that
the
schedule
and
the
funding
for
art
is
oftentimes
pretty
far
out,
we
were
now
able
to
say:
okay
in
the
next
three
years:
here's
all
the
courts
that
we're
going
to
be
doing.
How
do
we
piggyback
the
work
with
to
do
some
other
kind
of
cool,
interesting
add-on
and
placemaking
programs
with
this,
with
the
base
being
this,
this
life
cycle
program
next
slide,
please,
and
finally,
this
is
the
start.
V
I
want
to
be
very
clear
that
the
program
that
we've
laid
out
is
only
the
beginning
and
what
we're
planning
on
doing
is,
since
this
is
the
first
year
and
we're
going
to
be
working
through
this
working
through
this
refining
it
based
on
practical
experience,
refining
it
based
on
the
pricing
that
we
get
back,
how
much
we're
able
to
do
and
what
we're
able
to
do
and
say
we
get
really
good
results
from
doing
sealcoating
on
our
trails
and
the
lifespan
is
expect
is
extended.
V
We
can
then
start
extending
instead
of
going
from
30
years,
we
can
go
to
40
years,
because
we
see
that
doing
these
maintenance
interventions
is
actually
extending
the
life,
the
lifespan
of
our
of
our
trails
or
our
courts,
and
so
the
kind
of
the
concept
and
the
idea
behind
this
and
the
the
little
graphic
there
is
showing
that
we're
continually
circling
back
on
this
continually
saying:
what's
working,
what's
not
working
and
how
do
we?
V
How
do
we
improve
because
we
have
the
base
and
foundation
and
we've
come
up
with
a
with
working
through
courts
and
trails?
This
year
we
have
a
standardized
process
for
how
to
develop
these
life
cycles
and
we're
excited
I'm
excited
to
be
able
to
apply
that
process
to
a
lot
of
these
other
assets
and
we're
hoping
that
there'll
be
some
efficiencies
in
developing
these
life
cycle.
Maintenance
programs
for
other
assets
next
slide.
V
I
believe
that
is
the
last
one.
So
if
there's
any
questions,
I'm
more
than
willing
to
take
questions
or
refer
them
to
jeremy
or
jeff
who's,
also
on
the
call.
G
Fantastic,
thank
you
for
that
lots
to
digest
there,
I'm
thrilled
that
we're.
Finally,
at
this
place,
where
we
can
start
talking
about
not
just
putting
out
fires
but
trying
to
provide
people
with
a
consistent
recreational
experience
when
it
comes
to
courts
and
trails.
Commissioner
forney.
F
Been
getting
it
you
know
from
the
state
and
that
council
they
needed
it
and
that
we,
even
as
commissioners,
aren't
budgeting
for
it.
So
I
I
guess
that's
my
big
concern
and
then
probably
my
other
concern
is
how
how
how
possibly
an
equity
matrix
is
fitting
into
this.
So
those
would
be
probably
my
biggest
two
things,
but
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
please.
This
is
huge.
F
T
V
So
one
of
the
things
that
we've
done
to
integrate
the
equity
matrix
into
this,
so
we
wanted
to
take
kind
of
condition
as
as
as
as
a
base
feature
of
our
assets,
but
then
so
say
for
courts,
for
example,
they're
they're
scoring
between
one
and
five
right.
V
So
there's
a
lot
of
courts
that
are
threes,
there's
a
lot
of
courts
that
are
twos,
there's
a
lot
of
courts
that
are
ones
what
we've
done
is
integrate
the
equity
matrix
into
those,
so
that,
within
this,
the
all
the
courts
that
have
scored
two
we've
prioritized.
V
The
courts
that
are
high
of
higher
equity
have
higher
higher
equity
ratings
than
the
courts
that
score
score
lower
on
the
equity
score,
so
those
courts,
understanding
that
there's
in
you
know
I
the
theory
behind
the
equity
matrix.
As
you
all
know,
there's
there's
higher
need,
there's,
probably
more
use
on
those
courts
and
therefore
prioritizing
those.
V
L
Sure,
thanks,
I
can
try
and
I
think
director
weissman
is
on
too
so
chair
musician
commissioners,
commissioner
forney,
how
this
stacks
up
with
funding.
L
L
We
do
have
a
contract
coming
forward
for
some
kind
of
some
bulk
pricing,
and
so
in
the
past,
what
we've
kind
of
done
is
you
know
when
we,
when
we
have
a
problem,
we
get
out
of
contract
as
quick
as
we
can
to
go
to
go
fix
it
and
we
haven't
really
packaged
sites
together,
as
we
have,
or
at
least
in
my
time
here
we
haven't
done
it
this
way,
and
so
in
doing
it.
L
This
way,
we've
now
learned
some
pricing
and
when
we
look
then
at
our
mpp
20
funding
our
standard
contractual
service
funding,
lottery,
o
m
funding,
we
have
several
pools
that
we
can
draw
from.
But
when
we
get
the
prices
back
on,
you
know
from
a
contract
bid.
We
do.
L
There
is
a
shortage
right,
and
so
we
can,
we
can
accomplish
what
we
can
within
the
funding
we
have,
and
now,
with
this
information,
we'll
be
able
to
say
to
folks
like
we
are
on
a
50-year
life
cycle
with
only
five
interventions
right
and
I
shared
with
the
team
here
earlier.
You
know
this
was
a
similar
situation.
L
We
faced
in
new
york
city
with
tree
pruning-
all
you
know:
500
000
street
trees,
the
industry
standard
is
a
seven
year
pruning
rotation
and
our
funding
was
at
like
a
21-year,
pruning
rotation
and
in
order
to
go
from
21
to
7,
was
such
an
investment
that
it
had
to
be
done
over
time
and
so
over
time.
I
could
see
this.
L
You
know
one
efficiencies
in
the
contracting
and
then
two
a
little
bit
of
funding
added
each
year
to
bring
down
that
life
cycle
from
whatever
it
currently
is,
with
our
current
contract
pricing,
to
something
that's
more
in
line
with
the
industry
standard
or
what
we
hope
for
with
this
30-year
cycle
with
seven
to
six
to
seven
interventions,
it
really
gives
us
a
kind
of
a
barometer.
S
Yeah,
I
would
also
add
that
you
know
the
thought
here
too,
is
that
you
know
we're
having
a
bit
of
a
challenge
with
getting
vendors
to
to
bid,
because
it's
kind
of
a
new
thing
for
the
park
board.
I
mean
it's,
you
know
it's
we're
doing
maintenance
and,
and
it's
a
plan
deal
it's
not.
You
know,
emergency
repair.
S
I
know
there's
been,
there
has
been
other
maintenance
projects
that
have
gone
on,
but
I
think,
having
a
program
defined,
it
will
bring
in
more
people
to
provide
bidding
for
us
and
again,
you
know,
hopefully
bring
those
costs
down.
Then
the
other
thing
that
we
can
also
do
with
with
a
programmed
approach
too.
I
think
there
could
be
some
grant
funding
and
some
other
things
that
might
be
open
to
our.
S
You
know
our
approach.
I
I
mean
that
that's
something
that
I
think
frequently
grant
funding
opportunities
are,
are
more
easily
achieved
or
received.
If
there's,
if
it's
not
a
one-off,
you
know
if
we
have
a
30-year
life
cycle
plan,
you
know
and
obviously
for
the
pilot.
S
We
have
tailored
our
project
list
to
the
budget
that
we
have.
The
other
thing,
I
think
that
you
know
chris
and
I
and
we're
working
with
finance
on,
is
to
you
know,
to
identify
the
funding
that
we're
using
kind
of
in
our
service
area.
Budgets
too.
There
is
work,
that's
happening
out
there,
but
I
think
you
know
understanding
that
contract
services,
budget
and
understanding
how
the
service
areas
kind
of
spend
some
of
that
money.
As
you
know,
director
wiseman
will
be
able
to
help
us
with
so.
G
And
if
you
don't
mind,
commissioner
fournier,
I'm
gonna
build
on
your
question
a
little
bit
here.
So
when
we
talk
about
packaging
things
together,
are
you
also
having
conversations
with
the
planning
division
around
what
sort
of
capital
improvement
work
they're
doing
that
would
okay,
great
see
lots
of
nodding
heads.
So
that's
excellent.
G
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
we've
overcome
the
silos
and
are
trying
to
maximize
taxpayer
value
here,
that's
fantastic
to
hear.
I'm
also
glad
to
hear
we're
talking
about
looking
at
grant
opportunities
as
well.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Did
you
have
additional
questions,
commissioner
courtney?
I.
F
F
T
So
chair,
music
and
commissioner
forney,
I
had
a
pre-meeting
with
the
three
folks
that
have
presented,
and
I'm
extremely
happy
with
how
they
have
responded
to
your
questions.
What
I
will
tell
the
commissioners
is
that
we
have
severe
needs
in
gaps
throughout
our
entire
system.
So
what
is
the
biggest
positive
about?
T
Discussion
each
legislative
agenda
discussion.
So
all
of
you
know
all
of
these
tie.
You
know
tied
together
and
I
think
that
we've,
you
know,
especially
with
the
regional
trails.
That
is
something
that
is
consistently
talked
about
during
the
budget.
You
know
any
conversation
with
city
council
members
any
conversation
with
park,
commissioners,
so
it
is
definitely
something
that
you
know
is
being
looked
at
and
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
close.
You
know
close
those
gaps.
J
Think,
commissioner,
was
I'm
sorry.
Fisher
meyer
was.
G
E
I
was
going
to
ask
the
same
question,
but
I'll
guess
I'll
just
also
speak
just
to
read
about
christian
before
he
said
you
know.
I
also
have
lots
of
people
who
have
commented
to
me
that
they
wish
that
we
would
maintain
what
we
have
in
our
existing
system
before
expanding
things.
So
people
would
get.
E
I
mean
people
want
to
see
things
like
you
know,
expansion
of
parks
and
get
excited
when
that
happens.
But
you
know
a
frequent
thing
that
I've
said
whenever
we,
you
know
we
just
acquired
the
new
land
of
north
loop
or
you
know,
buying
up
land
in
northeast
on
the
riverfront.
You
know
when
we've
had
when
we've
done
those
things.
People
have
commented
to
me
that
we
should
be
maintaining
what
we
have
first
so
and
then
to
the
to
the
funny
part.
E
I
guess
you
know
later
on
tonight
in
the
admin
committee.
There's
a
proposed
7.75
percent
levy,
increase
request
on
the
agenda.
E
Would
any
of
that
money
be
going
into
an
increased
maintenance
or
would
there
need
to
be
an
increased
ask
to
account
for.
T
Chair
music
and
commissioner
meyer,
what
is
included
in
the
7.75
percent
maximum
property
tax
levy
request
is
a
current
service
level,
so
there
is
no
increase
to
maintenance
with
that.
There
is
a
large
ask
for
youth
investment
and
that
through
our
budget
retreats
and
through
the
last
four
years,
that
has
been
the
priority
of
this
board,
and
so
we
are
excited
to
be
bringing
that
forward
in
a
significant
way
for
2022.
E
Okay,
well
then,
I,
I
guess
I'll
just
say
I
hope
we
figure
out
a
way
to
fund
this
one
way
or
the
other,
whether
that's
the
grants
or
other
other
outside
sources.
E
I
I
mean
if
we
can't,
though
I
think
we
should
probably
increase
the
levy,
ask
to
account
for
a
reasonable
amount
to
to
get
started
on
this,
and
I
feel
like
this
would
be
an
appropriate
year
to
make
that
ask
I
mean
I
recognize
that
7.75
is
already
a
pretty
hefty
amount,
but
I
I
feel,
like
the
economy
is
also
doing
well
now
and
now
would
be
an
appropriate
time
to
ask
for
the
funds
to
appropriately
maintain
our
system.
Thank
you.
G
Thank
you,
commissioner
meyer
superintendent
of
angora.
J
Thank
you,
chair
music.
I
just
wanted
to
you
know
when
I
I
wanted
just
to
acknowledge
when
I
came
into
the
to
this
privilege
of
this
position.
One
of
the
things
I
was
very
clear
about
was
data
and
analytics
and
insights
to
our
park
system.
J
So
I
hope
that
you
know
when
I
look
at
you
know
chris
and
jeff
and
jeremy,
when
they
presented
this,
I
literally
was
almost
dancing
around
the
room
because
I
think
the
thing
that
I
want
to
bring
to
you
all
and
what
we
bring
to
you
all
is
clear
information
around.
Not
only
our
assets,
our
community
are
in
our
park
system,
but
the
information
that
you
need
to
make
the
decisions
on
how
we
move
forward
as
an
organization
across
our
system
and
everything
that
we're
doing.
J
As
you
know,
we
developed
a
data
insights,
analytics
team.
This
work
started
before
I
got
here,
but
I
think
you
know,
as
jeff
came
in
and
chris
and
and
the
work
that
they've
been
doing.
I'm
extremely
extremely
pleased
and
excited
about
this,
because
what
you
see
before
you
is
fact
it's
numbers.
It's
information
that
you
now
can
look
at
as
commissioners
and
help
us
to
make
decisions
going
forward
as
as
a
board.
So
I
just
wanted
just
to
share
my
absolute
excitement
about
the
direction
that
I
was
very
clear
about
when
I
came
in.
J
You
know
around
this
information
that
we
would
share
with
this
board,
and
I
can't
be
more
pleased
with
with
the
work
that
chris
jeff
and
jeremy
and
your
team
have
done
to
bring
this
forward.
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
that
as
we
go
and
and
use
this
same
model
as
we
start
to
do
everything
else
in
our
park
system,
so
that
we
can
bring
forward
to
this
board
some
very
clear
information
and-
and
I
know
chair
usage-
I
know
that
you
are
a
data
person.
J
We've
talked
about
this
over,
so
I
hope
that
you're
seeing
change
so
that
we
can
acknowledge
our
our
constituents,
the
people
that
are
taxpayers
of
this
park
system,
that
we
are
taking
care
of
our
park
system,
that
we
do
see
the
need
and
that
we're
showing
a
very
clear
numbers
and
information
to
share
with
our
constituents
that
the
work
is
being
done
and
what
we
need
to
get
there
to
accomplish
those
things.
And
so
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that.
G
Thank
you,
superintendent,
aguero
megura.
I
am
indeed
thrilled
that
we
are
at
this
point.
I've
been
advocating
since
I
joined
the
board
for
us
to
get
away
from
putting
out
fires
as
our
primary
approach
to
doing
public
service
and
get
more
towards
a
proactive,
thoughtful,
systematic
way
of
making
sure
that
people
have
a
positive
experience
in
the
parks
with
our
assets.
So
to
see
that
we
are
at
a
place
now,
where
that's
happening
is.
G
So
exciting
and
I
would
do
a
happy
dance,
but
that
would
be
unprofessional
and
you
wouldn't
see
me
on
the
screen
then
so
I'm
frustrating
myself
director
wiseman
did
you
have
something
that
you
wanted
to
add
on
to
what
supernatural
bangor
said,
and
do
you
mind,
commissioner
forney?
If
I
let
her
chime
in
before
I
allow
you
to
speak
for
a
second
time.
T
So
I
just
wanted
wanted
to
clarify
one.
One
thing
is
that
trails
really
are
there's
capital
dollars
and
rehab
dollars
that
are
built
in
to
our
cip
program.
T
T
I
think
it's
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
I'm
it's
I'm
lost
on
which
tennis
court,
that
is,
but
there
are
cip
dollars.
You
know
available
as
we
work
through
legislation
and
our
o
m
lottery
proceeds
if
changes
in
those
dollar
amounts.
Those
are
all
areas
that
would
be
able
to
be
considered
for
the
trail.
Rehab
portion
of
this
ask.
T
So
the
adjustment
is
every
five
years.
I'm
sorry
chair,
chair
music,
the
npp
20
guarantee
guaranteed
minimum
amount
is
adjusted
every
five
years
and
yes,
it's
an
agreed
upon
inflationary
adjustment
that
both
the
city
and
park
board
need
to
agree
upon
and
pass
concurrent
resolutions
setting
the
next
five-year
guaranteed
minimum
amount.
G
Okay,
but
are
they?
Are
they
coming
to
us
and
saying
we
don't
agree
that
inflation
is
x,
I
mean,
wouldn't
we
just
use
the
same
number
that
the
government
is
putting
out
and
that
the
federal
government
as
here's
the
inflationary
indicator-
and
this
is
what
it
is-
that's
happening
in
the
united
states.
G
Okay,
that
just
shocks
me
so
if
you
could
keep
myself
and
the
rest
of
the
border
prize
on
how
that
conversation
is
going,
I
yeah
I'm
I'm
just
I'm
surprised.
Let
me
put
it
that
way
that
that's
something
that
we
have
to
fight
for.
I
don't
get
that,
but
always
something.
Thank
you,
commissioner.
Forney.
For
the
second
time.
F
T
On
the
city
side
I
mean
on
the
park
board
side
and
then
on
the
city
side,
it's
been
mark
ruff
and
amelia
and
I'm
forgetting
her
last
name:
who's
the
budget
director
at
the
city
and
a
couple
of
a
couple,
other
staff
on
the
city
side.
So
right
now
we're
we're
just
in
the
staff
process
so
that
we
can
come
to
an
agreement
that
then
staff
would
bring
to
the
city
council
and
to
the
park.
F
That
very
necessary,
and
now
I
almost
forgot
everything
I
was
going
to
ask
I.
I
guess
big
thing
that
to
me
in
the
matrix
or
you
know
the
data
that
you've
collected
the
understanding
of
what
is
neighborhood
and
what
is
regional
to
me
is
very
significant
and
my
assumption
is
that's
already
in
your
matrix,
but
you
know
understanding
that
the
regional
financing
is
not
in
our
levy,
so
I
I
just
you
know,
want
to
be
cautious
on
that
suggestion
of
raising
the
levy.
F
If
I
I
don't
know
you,
you
didn't
report
that,
and
I'm
not
asking
you
to,
but
you
know
if
the
majority
of
our
our
our
assets
are
regional
and
everything
like
that
it.
It's
not
the
levy,
that's
going
to
to
solve
our
financial
issues,
so
I
just
you
know
really
want
to
caution.
You
know
that
conversation
and
and
really
alert
people
to
the
fact
that
you
know
we
are
underfunded.
F
You
know
at
the
state
we
are
significantly
underfunded,
but
I
have
to
applaud
you
having
data
like
this,
I
think
is
going
to
be.
Hopefully
you
know
evidence
you
know,
or
you
know
whatever,
for
the
intervention.
I
love
that
anyway,
so
I
I
really
I
thank
you
so
much
for
this,
and
hopefully
you
know
having
rock
style.
I
mean
and
truly
you
know,
commissioner
music,
and
I
know
that
the
mpp
20
happened
because
we
had
rock
solid.
F
You
know
information
and
you
know
by
having
this
information
now
I
I
really
hopefully
you
know
we
can
make
sure
we've
got
the
funding
in
the
future.
Thank
you.
E
Yeah
just
responding
to
that
I
mean
what
was
presented
tonight
is
a
combination
of
both
regional
and
non-regional
things
right
so
for
the
non-regional
ones.
The
levy
would
be
an
appropriate
place
to
seek
the
increases
to
pay
for
that
maintenance.
But,
as
council
rice
just
reminded
me,
during
this
discussion
we
did
receive
a
200
000
increase
from
the
legislature
for
o
m
funds
for
our
regional
facilities.
So
that
will
help
go
to
this.
I
assume
or
could
is
my
understanding
council
race.
E
Can
you
expand
on
that
on
the
victories
that
we
had
in
this
past
session.
U
U
U
I
mean
I'm
expecting
that
the
system
would
have
anywhere
from
at
least
300
hundred
thousand,
perhaps
perhaps
a
half
a
million
dollar
increase
in
revenue
from
those
two
sources.
Now
it
may
be
that
the
planning
commission
staff
and
the
long-term
capital
program
was
already
anticipating.
Well,
I
don't
think
I
anticipated
the
lottery
increase.
U
They
may
have
increased
the
legacy
funds.
Although
legacy
funds
went
up
significantly
this
year
over
what
would
have
been
a
baseline
projection.
So
those
are
some
resources
that
the
board
would
have.
The
board
can
always
I've
made
this
point
before
I
mean
they're
within
your
discretion,
on
how
to
allocate
o
m
dollars,
which
is
now
going
to
exceed
2
million
dollars
a
year.
U
Traditionally,
the
boards
reserve
those
funds
for
capital
improvements
or
matching
dollars
not
used
operating,
but
I
think
that's
worth
if,
if
the
board
deems
these
matters
to
be
critical,
you
could
always
allocate
either
one
of
those
fonts
to
tr
regional
trails
and.
U
On
the
npp
20
thing,
I
think
you've
also
highlighted
an
area
where
some
work
needs
to
be
done:
visa
visa
city
council
about
what
increase
is
going
to
be
there
for
npp
20,
which
would
potentially
be
a
source
for
funds.
You've
got
in
this
tennis
court.
You
know
basketball,
court
issues,
those
aren't
regional
assets,
they're
more
appropriately
designated
as
neighborhoods.
So
we'll
get
you
the
report
and
get
you
some
numbers.
U
G
Commissioner
meyer,
did
you
have
additional
questions
or
are
you
finished?
I'm
finished
thank.
E
F
Thank
you,
chairman
usage.
Are
you
aware
that.
F
G
Yeah,
thank
you
director.
Did
you
have
comments
that
you'd
like
to
share
the.
S
Community
yeah-
just
I
just
want
to
you,
know,
reassure
everybody
that
we
are
working
very
very
closely
with
planning
and
you
know
we're
there's
a
ton
of
people
to
thank
you
know,
including
planning,
and
I
t
and
finance,
and
our
operations
staff
brent
cath
has
been
doing
a
lot
of
work
on
getting
data
back
to
us
through
his
operations
team,
and
you
know,
on
the
funding
piece
too
we're
working
very
very
closely
with
all
of
our
planning
staff
and
they're,
providing
us
great
information
as
we
move
forward,
not
on
the
fun
not
only
on
financing
but
on
you
know
the
data
that
they
have
collected.
S
So
this
has
definitely
been
a
a
group
effort,
and
you
know
lots
of
things
to
everybody
that
that
was
involved
and
we'll
we'll
continue
to
work
as
a
team
on
this
and
make
sure
that
we're
that
we're
going
in
the
right
direction.
So
thanks
everybody
for
listening
tonight
and
we're
excited
about
moving
forward
with
it.
Thank
you
very
much.
G
I'm
I'm
always
happy
to
hear
that
there's
collaboration
across
the
entire
institution-
it's
it's.
What
I
always
hope
is
happening
and
to
hear
that
it
actually
is
is
awesome.
Thank
you
for
that
secretary
ringgold.
You
wanted
to
speak.
A
A
It
has
been
doing
that
for
at
least
the
last
seven
years,
or
so
so
there
is
quite
a
bit
of
money
that
the
board
has
consistently
put
towards
trail
rehab,
with
the
idea
that
then
reconstruction
would
most
likely
occur
through
actual
capital
capital
projects
dedicated
to
the
individual
regional
parks,
and
your
current
half
million
dollars
is
o
m,
so
some
of
the
lottery
o
m
dollars.
Now
the
vision
was
over
time.
As
the
great
work
that's
happening
would
get
more
specific
on
the
dollars.
A
You
would
know
better,
as
commissioners
staff
would
know
better
what
type
of
money
to
put
into
those
categories,
but
you
already
are
doing
a
good
job
of
trying
to
trying
to
anticipate
and
allocate
dollars
toward
them.
This
is
going
to
help.
I
think
you
ensure
that
the
dollars
go
to
the
best
place
needed.
G
Great
thank
you
for
that
and
I
look
forward
to
ongoing
conversations
with
my
colleagues
and
staff
as
we
get
further
into
the
budget
season
around
how
we're
going
to
spend
money
in
2022
not
seeing
anyone
else's
hands
up.
I
have
lots
of
questions
so
sorry
about
that.
I
will
I'll
try
to
keep
them
concise,
so
we
talk
a
lot
about
asphalt
because
that's
what
these
these
assets
are
currently
comprised
of.
G
I
know
there's
self-healing
concrete
out
there
are
there
new
materials
that
are
replacing
asphalt
or
innovations
in
asphalt
that
allow
for
features
similar
to
the
self-healing
concrete,
that's
been
developed
that
might
help
us
with
keeping
a
higher
level
of
viability
for
these
assets
for
a
longer
period
of
time.
S
I
can
I
can
take
that
sharing
usage.
You
know
asphalt
is,
I
would
say,
relatively
tried
and
true
for
these
types
of
facilities.
We
do
have
some
older,
concrete
tennis
courts
in
the
system
that
we're
kind
of
struggling
with
right
now
to
do
some
upgrading,
there's
one
at
northeast
athletic
fields
that
we're
working
with
the
neighborhood
group
to
try
to
do
some.
Some
work
on
that
the
cost
is
quite
prohibitive.
S
On
concrete,
you
know
we
do
have
a
our
trade
shop
that
that
you
know
we
do
concrete
work
internally,
but
obviously
we
don't
have
the
staffing
to
take
on
large
projects.
G
S
G
P
S
V
V
They
haven't
come
to
us
with
a
specific
like
hey.
This
is
the
new
thing
that
can
extend
the
lifespan.
I
think
I
don't
so
I
think
that
would
be
maybe
a
good
question
for
them,
but
do
know
that
we
are.
We
are
working
with
some
of
the
kind
of
the
nation's
experts
in
asphalt
to
get
some
of
these
answers
on
what
are
the
best
sections?
What
is
the
best
mix
to
use?
How
should
we
be
filling
cracks?
All
of
that,
and
so,
but
I
I
think
that
would
be.
V
That
would
be
something
that
I
would
like
to
look
into
more
on.
You
know:
are
there
maybe
some
different
innovations
and
materials
that
we
could
that
we
could
that
we
could
work
into
into
a
program
like
this.
G
S
Failure
yeah
chairmusage,
I
would
I
would
you
know,
refer
to
chris's
comments
on
that
too.
We
are,
we
are,
you
know,
obviously
we're
working
with
planning
who
they're
they're,
very
knowledgeable,
our
own
park
board
planning
staff,
and
you
know
we're
keeping
current
on
trends
as
well
with
the
sections
and
the
different
lips
types
of
asphalt
that
we
that
we
are
specking
so
and
again,
asphalt
really
is
quite
forgiving.
It's
there,
it's
not
obviously
not
maintenance
free
which
we're
seeing.
S
But
you
know
that's
one
of
the
one
of
the
reasons
why
it's
used
so
widely
is
that
it
is,
is
a
it
is
a
great
solution
for
the
you
know,
the
facilities
that
we're
building.
E
M
G
Failures
on
highways,
thinking
to
myself,
like
are
we
thinking
about
this
at
the
park
level
when
we
talked
when
we
started
thinking
about
climate
change
and
how
it's
impacting
our
assets,
it
sounds
like
we
are.
That's
fantastic.
Thank
you.
G
A
couple
of
my
questions
you
answered
already
because
you
just
you
were
prescient,
and
you
knew
that
I
was
gonna.
Ask
them.
Obviously,
when
we
talk
about
full
depth,
replacement
of
facilities,
wcp99
already
informed
us
that,
when
we're
talking
about
that
on
regional
trails,
that
it's
included
in
the
cip,
funding
that
we're
considering
for
those
projects,
is
it
the
same
case
when
we're
talking
about
replacing
courts?
Are
we,
including
that
in
the
cip,
or
is
that
being?
S
Yeah
I
can
take
that
chair
music.
The
the
kind
of
the
mix
between
capital
and
rehab
for
our
program
is
that,
if
it's
identified
in
our
master
planning
as
moving,
then
we
that's
that
we
are
considering
a
capital
project
and
we're
kind
of
staying
hands
off
on
that.
S
If
there's
a,
if
there's
a
maintenance
intervention
that
we
can
do
you
know
within
that
projected
planning's
great
with
planning,
you
know
schedules
and
all
that,
so
we
kind
of
have
a
good
idea
of
you
know
that
court
and
park
a
might
be
there
for
10
years
and
if
it,
if
it
means
it's,
you
know
we
can
do
a
color
code.
Will
will
do
that
as
a
as
a
maintenance,
but
only
if
it,
you
know,
is
appropriate
for
the
time
frame.
S
Well,
if
it's
identified
moving
that
we're
still
kind
of
we're
still
kind
of
you
know
working
that
out,
because
you
know
we're
trying
to
put
our
dollars
into
not
taking
things
out
but
improving
them.
So
we
haven't
actually
gone
down
that
decision
path
yet
on.
If
it's
bad
enough
to
come
out-
and
I
know
there's
some
out
there-
do
we
use
rehab
funding,
or
can
we
loop
some
capital
money
in
that
just
to
remove
it?
We
haven't
had
that
conversation
with
planning,
yet
on
that
on
that
piece.
S
Well
then,
yes,
thank
you
for
clarifying
share
music,
know
that,
though
we
are
identifying
funding
for
that
30
full
30-year
res
life
cycle,
including
the
replacement
at
30
years.
So
that's
that's
the
budget
that
we've
developed
so
anything
that
is,
that
is
not
on
a
master
plan
to
move
it's
fully
in
our
in
our
in
our
court,
so
to
speak.
G
Okay,
so-
and
I
guess
I
would
have
expected
capital
dollars
to
pay
for
that,
so
perhaps
that's
a
further
conversation
we
should
be
having
as
part
of
budgeting.
G
You
said
that
we
had
put
things
out
for
bid
several
times
this
year.
Did
we
have
to
decline
those
bids
because
they
came
in
too
high
or
or
what
what
went
on
there?
We
didn't
get
any
bids.
V
Jeremy
said
I
can
take
this
one,
the
first
time
we,
the
the
the
bid,
I'm
specifically
talking
about,
is
the
regional
trail
sealcoating
and
crack
ceiling
bid
and
the
first
time
we
put
out
the
bid.
We
did
not
receive
any
bids.
V
The
second
time
we
put
out
the
bid,
we
did
receive
two
bids,
but
the
low
bidder
had
had
to
be
thrown
out
at
the
city
due
to
a
paperwork
issue,
and
now
we
are
in
our
that
now
we
are
in
our
third
iteration
and
that
bid,
I
believe,
is
due
here
next
week
and
we
are
anticipating
that
we
will
get
bids
and
and
hopefully
we'll
we'll
work
through
that
process
and
be
able
to
accept
a
little
better.
G
V
Your
music,
the
the
plan,
is
the
plan-
is
this
year
for
this
program
this
this?
This
is
bid
as
being
work
being
done
this
year.
I
would
anticipate
since
we
are
in
the
early
july
and
then
getting
approval
on
that
contract.
You
know
we're
going
to
be
in
the
late
late
summer
fall
the
work's
going
to
need
to
be
done
as
the
weather
allows
us
and
it
it
needs.
There's
temperature
restrictions,
there's
all
of
that,
so,
but
the
lake
september
october.
G
And
then
the
last
question
I
have
is
for
lobbyist
rice
when
we
talk
through
these
programs
and
can
really
define
the
need.
Does
that
assist
you
in
the
conversations
that
you're
having
at
the
capitol
to
make
a
case
that
additional
funding
needs
to
be
allocated
to
the
regional
park
system
and
to
minneapolis
in
general
for
local
government
aid.
U
Chair
music,
there's
a
couple
questions
there
that
the
the
funds
we
get
from
the
legislature
are
done
on
a
formula.
That's
based
on
park
usage,
local
use,
regional
use,
acreage,
other
metrics,
so
us
making
the
case
for
this
would
probably
be
counter
to
that.
That
would
open
up
the
formula
discussion
to
all
other
kinds
of
factors.
I
would
not
recommend
we.
U
Well,
we
we
get
defusing
manager,
we
get
we're.
Probably
we
were
promised
40
we're
getting
about
10
percent.
I
U
U
The
on
the
o
m
side-
and
so
it's
a
question
of
how
you
allocate
it
and
different
agencies:
do
it
differently?
U
Many
of
the
systems
just
pour
it
into
their
operating
budgets
and
it
pays
salaries
pays
other
things.
The
park
board
has
always
tended
to
use
the
money
on
the
capital
side
to
do
the
work,
which
I
mean,
it's
a
choice
that
we've
lobbied
strongly
to
to
protect
and
give
the
board
discretion
on
how
you
spend
the
money.
U
U
That's
kind
of
a
call
you
need
to
make.
I
mean
one
question:
I'd
have
for
the
staff
here
is:
what
percent
of
the
regional
use
is
not
used
done
by
trails?
We
we
get
about
20
to
25
million
regional
visitors
a
year.
What
percent
of
that
is
of
the
use
is
the
trail
system.
I'm
sure
we've
got
it
somewhere.
The
staff
could
dig
that
out.
Secretary
ringold
said
it's
about
a
half
a
million
dollars
a
year.
That's
allocated
from
owen
m
to
trails,
I
mean,
and
that's
been
going
on
for
years.
U
U
You
want
to
maintain
the
trails
I
mean
from
my
perspective
as
your
lobbyist
and
somebody
who's
asked
to
go
out
and
secure
these
funds.
We
should
be
keeping
up.
We
should
be
keeping
up
everything
but
and-
and
commissioner
forney
said
it
best-
take
care
of
what
you
got.
That
was
part
of
what
the
legacy
pillar
was.
It's
also
part
of
o
m.
U
If
we
have
got
bad
trails,
I
would
say:
there's
a
real
problem
there
that
ought
to
get
they
ought
to
get
fixed
because
for
people
who
come
into
the
system,
not
only
are
our
residents,
but
the
other
regional
users
are
probably
commenting
on.
You
want
to
be
riding
a
bike
from
the
three
river
system
into
minneapolis
park
and
then
hit
the
potholes
and
fall
off
and
cracks.
M
U
G
That
point
for
that
clarification,
I
appreciate
it
all
right,
I'm
not
seeing
any
additional
questions
that
summed
up
for
all
the
things
I
was
hoping
to
understand
as
we
try
to
move
forward
with
this
and
get
into
budgeting.
So
thank
you
all
for
your
time
this
evening.
G
F
Thank
you
regarding
the
agenda
staff
has
requested
that
we
postpone
the
resolution
2021
253,
so
will
the
like
an
approval
of
the
agenda.
Excuse
me
without
that
item.
F
A
There
we
go

Please

the
roll.
A
H
F
Thank
you,
commissioner,
or
voice
president
detail
and
everything
I
would
presentation
of
this.
So
I
see
I
believe
it
is
yes,
of
course
it's
superintendent
van
gora
and
oh,
my
internet
is
unstable
so
anyway,
and.
J
Yeah
we
are
here.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Can
you
hear
me
okay?
Well,
we
can
hear
you.
Okay,
I'm
sorry.
I
thought
I
saw
this.
Thank
you
for.
J
Thank
you
cheerful
absolutely,
so
thank
you
for
the
opportunity.
What
I'll
try
to
do
is
get
through
this
as
as
quickly
as
possible.
This
is
a
presentation
that
we
have
been
using
and
circulating
through
as
we
meet
with
elected
officials
and
council
members
and
and
and
so
forth,
but
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
brought
this
forward.
G
J
Give
you
some
background
to
what
the
board
has
you
know
in
our
in
our
retreat
and
how
they've
guided
us
in
this
presentation
for
the
7.75
property
tax?
So
next
next
slide,
please
so
the
youth
investment.
I
know
we've
had
a
lot
of
discussion
around
this
and
and
years
of
work
to
get
to
this
point.
It's
been
long
overdue.
J
The
2020
2022
budget
discussion
marks
really
the
fourth
year
that
I've
been
working
towards
the
increasing
funding
for
youth
in
minneapolis
and
in
my
time
here
since
2019
and
the
privilege
of
being
superintendent,
the
two
and
a
half
years
been
working
diligently
and
passionately
and
support
for
our
youth
in
the
city
of
we
know
the
need
is
real.
We
we
understand
the
existing
planning
and
community
engagement
that
absolutely
points
to
the
need
and
the
desire
to
focus
on
youth.
J
I've
stated
before
that
this
has
been
researched
to
death.
There's
been
documents
that
exist
out
there
that
stack.
You
know
that
stack
up
like
you
know,
a
foot
or
so
of
research
and
understanding.
We
clearly
understand
the
need
for
our
youth,
so
through
clothing,
we
also
watched
an
uptick
in
youth,
violence
really
shining
the
light
on
the
need.
We
understood
it
was
always
there,
but
we
also
saw
this
really
uptick
that
we
clearly
understand
it's
happening
in
a
time
of
crisis.
J
J
We
continue
to
be
well
positioned
to
deliver
these
programs
opportunities
to
our
youth
with
our
47
recreation
centers,
a
10-minute
walk
shed
for
every
youth
that
will
approach
and
end
up
at
one
of
our
centers
in
one
of
our
parks.
We're
uniquely
positioned
for
that.
We
have
trained
and
dedicated
staff
and
a
commitment,
as
you
all
know,
in
youth
employment.
J
So
the
board
we
have
to
the
board,
we
have
worked
really
hard
in
our
milestones
in
our
pursuit
of
youth
funding.
J
This
stair
step
really
kind
of
shows,
and
we've
shown
the
city
and
the
requests
it
made
to
us
around
one
of
the
quests
around
research.
We
did
our
research
and
we
responded.
We
did
the
close
the
gap
investing
in
youth,
where
it
showed
the
delta
for
over
20
years
of
the
gap
in
funding
and
fte
staffing
that
we
clearly
understand
that
gap
was
over
two
million
dollars.
J
J
J
You
know
all
the
agencies
that
work
with
youth
we
got
together.
We
met
at
henry
high
school,
we
met
also
at
the
park
board
here
in
the
room,
and
we
worked
with
the
minneapolis
parks
foundation.
It
was
also
there
and
we
recognized
the
need
to
build
a
resilient
system,
but
we
also
understand
that
there's
overlaps,
but
we
worked
very
hard
on
this
on
this
collaborative
and
clearly
minneapolis
park
and
recreation
was
already
moving
in
that
direction.
J
J
We
responded
when
we
opened
and
we
put
forward
the
rehabilitated
creation
space
at
potterhorn
park.
We
invested
in
that.
I
know
if
you've
seen
some
videos
on
that
and
we
launched.
Imagine
your
future,
which
vice
president
b
vital
eloquently
spoke
to
earlier,
and
the
amazing
work
that
we're
doing
with
our
youth,
our
older
youth
and
we
redefined
youth
employment,
specifically
moving
it
from
recreation
into
green
infrastructure,
green
jobs
and
looking
at
how
we
can
move
our
youth
in
a
model
around
what
we.
What
we
specialize
is
recreation
next
slide.
Please.
J
J
J
So
a
lot
of
this
information-
I
won't
go
through
in
detail,
but
around
youth
programming.
We
are
clear
about
providing
consistent,
dedicated
staff
that
engage
youth
in
a
safe
environment
and
really
to
expose
them
to
experiences
that
can
enhance
and
enrich
their
lives,
and
I
put
forward
forward
to
you
and
close
the
gap
around
our
six
pillars.
J
Many
of
the
things
that
you
see
here,
of
course,
are
on
cycling.
Around
intergenerational
centers
of
excellence,
creation,
spaces,
nature-based
program,
agriculture,
programs
and
cycling,
citywide
day
camps,
photography,
theater,
all
the
programs
that
we're
going
to
be
offering
that
we
do
offer
our
youth
and
to
enhance
and
build
upon
those
imagine
your
future
at
age,
1722
with
low
level
offenses
in
the
background
records,
as
vice
president
detail
already
just
stated,
was
a
wonderful
example
of
how
we
continue
to
offer
exceptional
programs
save
lives
and
offer
opportunities.
J
J
J
Creation
spaces,
which
I'm
extremely
excited
about-
and
I
can
go
into
this
for
an
hour
and
talk
about
what
these
spaces
mean,
but
you
know
these
are
currently.
We
have
right
now,
as
I
said
before,
what
you
see
in
front
of
you
in
the
picture
is
powderhorn
and
the
incredible
work
that
was
done
to
restore
that
place
and
to
look
at
the
three
locations
that
we
are
currently
moving
on.
That
will
be
coming
online.
J
These
allow
young
people
to
experience
self-expression
learning
and
exposure
to
careers
as
industry
professionals
to
fully
understand
the
businesses
and
careers
behind
the
art
technology,
the
music
science,
innovation.
All
those
possibilities
our
young
people
can
face
in
these
spaces
is
limitless.
We
have
a
lot
of
partners
that
are
coming
online
right
now,
they're
very
excited
about.
I
will
be
bringing
that
forward
as
we're
going,
but
very
very
exciting.
Things
are
coming
for
the
creation
spaces.
J
I
was
on
a
panel
called
reimagine
pacific
commons,
where
one
of
ten
cities
are
coming
here
in
september
to
explore
and
talk
to
us
about
how
the
park
board
did
something
significant
in
creation,
spaces
and
change
the
lives
of
young
people,
not
only
in
the
knowledge
they
get,
but
in
the
mastery
of
it
and
the
pass
through
the
certification,
the
work
that
they
can
get
behind
this
to
explore
and
tap
into
the
next
prince
or
to
the
next
artist
the
nest
musician.
J
The
next
scientist,
these
things
that
we
know
we
can
do
in
these
creation
spaces.
It's
incredibly
unique,
so
we're
looking
for
full-time
staff
for
each
location,
so
we're
asking
for
a
total
estimate,
budget
of
756
thousand
000,
again
staffing
industry
professionals
that
are
working
for
the
park,
work
working
for
our
youth
in
these
spaces
next
slide.
J
Please,
youth
employment.
As
you
know,
we
are
just
we
do
incredible
work
around
that
we're
focused
on
employment
and
training,
youth
and
underserved
and
unrepresented
communities
the
shift
to
extend
expand
youth
employment
programs
to
provide
meaningful,
progressive
work,
opportunities
for
teen
and
young
adults,
focusing
on
outdoors
immersion
in
parks
and
nature,
and
it's
a
pathway
to
green
careers.
The
triangle
you
see
below
you,
which
I
won't
go
into
all
the
details,
but
it
shows
clearly
how
the
park
board
has
shifted
very
clearly.
J
J
This
green
job
exposure
to
choices
that
they
can
make
as
they
work
their
way
from
just
starting
off
as
a
young
person,
that's
14
working
on
parks
to
full-time
jobs,
and
it's
really
exciting-
and
this
is
the
work
that
we're
doing
right
now
with
environmental
services
and
incredible
work
that
marilyn
pulsher
and
deb
and
deb
pilger
and
jeremy
has
overseen
this.
We're
really
excited
about
the
work
there,
but
it's
continually
ex
given
them
experience,
including
park
crews
specially
skilled
crews,
internships
apprenticeships.
J
This
is
a
very
deliberate
offering
to
entice
youth,
to
return
to
work
for
the
mprb
in
multiple
seasons,
to
gain
new
skills,
knowledge
and
identify
career
paths,
we're
piloting
a
really
cool
thing,
called
indigenous
architecture,
design
and
planning
and
construction
skills.
We
have
a
young
people
right
now
that
are
going
to
be
working
on
restoring
the
art,
god
freehouse
and-
and
we
can
get
more
information
around
that,
but
it's
a
really
exciting
opportunity
with
hennepin
county.
J
These
kids
will
learn
the
skills
and
the
tools
they'll,
have
the
tools
to
work
with
and
learn
about,
this
very
clear
pathway
to
job
skills
and
knowledge.
It's
very
unique
we're
very
excited
about
that.
So
we're
looking
at
enhanced
youth
employment
opportunities,
an
estimated
budget
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
continue
this
pathway
and
work
with
our
youth
in
these
career
paths
and
getting
skills
and
certifications
knowledge
to
where
they
hopefully
get
a
full-time
job
wherever
they
might
be
next
slide.
Please
and,
of
course,
nature
based
programs.
All
kids
deserve
access
and
discovery
of
nature.
J
You
know
we're
we're
looking
at
really
are
47
centers
really
vested
in
this
work,
not
just
talking
about
it,
but
really
vested
in
it.
Naturalists
will
meet
and
engage
young
young
people
where
they're
at
there's
a
book
written
last
child
in
the
woods,
but
we
understand
that
our
parks
are
those
spaces
that
you
can
heal
and
go
to
and
our
young
people
being
connected
to
incredible
mentors
but
experiencing
nature
in
our
parks.
We
want
to
provide
consistent,
dedicated
staff
to
build
relationships.
J
We
talk
about
enhanced
program
opportunities
through
youth
line
12
to
16
year
olds
and
teen.
Teen
works
through
youth
improvement,
youth,
employment
programs
that
they
can
work
within
this
environment
and
be
mentors
and
also
gain
the
skills,
so
we're
looking
for
an
addition
of
one
full-time
and
one
part-time
employee,
and
this
is
enhanced
programming
dollars.
We're
asking
for
an
estimated
budget
of
216
500
next
slide.
Please.
J
Intergenerational
programming,
I'm
54
years
old,
I
know
that
we
look
at
50.
I
have
my
my
aarp
card.
I
have
to
admit
that
you
know,
but
when
I
look
about,
I,
don't
we
don't
say
senior
programs.
We
talk
about
intergenerational
programs,
we
have
older
adults,
but
we
have
folks
that,
are
you
know:
50
51,
52,
60,
61,
intergenerational
programs.
When
I
came
here
in
2019
when
I
was
down
in
the
interview
process,
I
met
some
wonderful,
ladies
that
were
talking
about
you
know
they
said
al.
J
We
really
would
hope
that
there's
more
programs
for
older
adults,
but
what's
more
important,
is
that
they're
intergenerational
working
with
young
people,
preschoolers
teens
adults,
but
being
intergenerational.
We
have
centers
that
we
right
now
want
to
talk
about
that.
We
can
network
through
our
system
seniors
participate
and
they
share
life.
Lessons
the
wisdom,
history.
They
provide
guidance.
J
J
So
my
examples
that
we
have
is
cultural
somali
games
for
the
youth
and
seniors
to
play
together.
We
talk
about
pickleball
biking,
gardening
sewing
cultural,
cooking,
music,
storytelling,
all
sorts
of
really
cool
things
that
we
know
that
we
can
share
together
as
a
community.
Imagine
these
centers
of
excellence,
intergenerational
centers
of
excellence,
serve
them
again
network
to
the
system
like
we
would
do
for
agriculture
in
nature
like
we're
doing
for
creation
spaces,
so
we're
asking
for
additional
full-time
employee.
J
J
So
we
understand
our
youth
are
in
crisis,
and
I
know
it's
a
hard
word
to
use
sometimes,
but
our
youth,
they
need
support,
park
and
recreation
who
we
are
and
how
we're
changing
is
critical
to
the
lives
of
his
own
people.
The
time
is
to
act
now.
This
board
has
worked
years
on
this
focus.
I
have
passion
committed
to
this,
so
the
city,
minneapolis
2021
annual
budget,
includes
a
forecast
for
the
npr
b22
2022
property
tax
levy
of
73
million
139
000,
which
is
a
four
percent
increase
in
2021.
J
J
What
is
clear,
if
you
look
below
at
the
current
service
level,
in
youth
investment,
what
we're
asking
at
this
point
for
minneapolis
park
board?
We
look
at
the
change
in
the
current
civilian.
We
look
at
a
six
point,
one
four,
six
point:
one:
four
percent
change
or
a
one
point:
one
percent
increase
in
property
tax.
The
minneapolis
park
with
the
youth
investment
is
two
million
six
hundred
thirty
eight
thousand
dollars
a
percent
change.
The
part
where
three
point
eight
three,
but
it's
only
a
point:
seven
percent
increase
in
the
property
tax.
J
The
tree
preservation
reforestation,
as
we
know
in
2021,
went
away
and
we
are
now
at
projected
zero,
because
that
is
done.
We
still,
of
course,
planting
trees.
I
want
to
get
that
false
impression:
we're
still
planting
trees,
but
that's
a
point
negative
0.4,
so
the
park
board
total
for
the
increase
in
the
city.
Property
tax
is
1.4
percent.
J
So
the
city
percentage
of
tax
living
is
increasing,
while
the
mprb's
percentage
and
tax
levies
is,
is
decreasing,
2017.,
so
the
total
percent
of
total
city
tax.
If
you
look
at
the
right
of
the
park
board,
it's
decreasing,
we
haven't
been
increasing
and
we
said
before
we
talk
about
seven
and
a
half
cents
on
the
dollar
or
less
than
eight
cents.
J
I
can
tell
you
that
that's
been
the
same
since
what
two
thousand
that's,
where
we
are
as
a
park
system,
so
we're
asking
it's
important
that
we
take
care
of
our
youth
right
now,
because
this
is
the
time
so
in
2022
the
mpp.
The
nprb
is
poised
to
implement
sustainable
youth
investment
and
provide
life
training
with
an
increase
of
less
than
one
percent
of
the
city's
property
taxes.
J
We
know
that
the
park
board
can
save
the
lives
of
these
children.
We
know
the
work
that
we're
putting
forward
that
I'm
putting
forward,
and
this
team
is
putting
forward
in
this
idea
of
how
we
have
incubators
of
innovation
at
our
rec
centers
and
the
change
that
we
are
putting
forward
and
all
the
things
that
not
only
presented
to
you,
but
that
we're
doing
our
rec
centers.
J
J
The
parks
will
still
be
offering
all
the
programs
that
we
do
they'll
still
offer
all
those
programs,
but
we
talk
about
these
particular
changes
that
we're
doing
within
our
centers.
It's
very
clear.
Not
only
do
we
have
fundamental
shift
that
we're
doing
within
our
our
youth
and
how
we
deliver
those
services,
but
what
we
can
do
to
change
the
lives
of
our
young
people
is
critical.
Time
is
now
to
act
now.
J
T
So
chair
barney
vice
chair
hassan
and
commissioners,
I'm
just
going
to
quickly
remind
the
commissioners.
This
is
very
similar
to
what
was
presented
at
the
budget
retreat.
So
our
2022-2026
general
fund
with
that
now
includes
the
2020
youth.
Investment
equates
to
a
9.9
increase
in
our
general
fund
and.
T
T
So
what
is
included
in
the
2022
general
fund
with
the
9.9
increase?
That
equates
to
a
6.7,
almost
6.8
million
dollar
increase
in
property
taxes,
so
the
current
service
level
amounts.
We
have
provision
for
wage
and
benefit
adjustments
that
include
all
of
our
employees,
both
part-time
and
full-time
and
union
employees,
so
contracts,
the
minimum
wage
adjustment.
T
T
We
have
new
park
operations
for
the
downtown
service
area
parks,
the
market
square
park
of
322
000,
so
those
three
items
make
up.
The
current
service
level
amounts
for
our
general
fund
and
then
we've
added
our
youth
investment
piece,
and
that
equates
to
the
6.8
million
dollar
increase
in
revenue
next
slide.
Please
so
just
to
remind
you,
as
we
begin,
or
continue
to
build
in
our
system,
expansion
into
our
property
tax
requests
and
forecasts
for
2022.
T
We
we
have
the
downtown
service
area
parks
with
north
loop
park,
8th
avenue
park
and
26th
street
overlook
and
then
again
the
market
square
park.
So
we
are
adding
322
000
to
support
the
maintenance
and
activation
of
those
locations
in
2023,
2024
and
2025
you'll
see
that
we
have
the
upper
harbor
terminal
that
will
come
online
graco
park
that
will
come
online
and
then
the
full
activation
of
north
loop
park
in
2023.
T
F
F
I
wish
I
could
come
up
with
something
sage.
I
appreciate
you
know
the
presentation
we're
a
little
bit
earlier
in
the
process
of
our
budget
setting.
I
appreciate
the
presentation
and
trying
to
get
alignment
with
everybody
on
our
request
here.
G
Thanks:
tara
forney,
I
I'm
pleased
to
see
that
this
reflects
what
we
discussed
in
our
conversations
around
budget
planning.
I
think
it's
big
ask.
I
don't
quite
know
that
we'll
get
what
we're
asking
for,
but
I
think
it
I
think
we've
made
a
very
good
case
for
what
we're
asking
for,
and
I'm
hopeful
that
the
bet
will
take
that
into
consideration
when
considering
whether
or
not
to
give
us
what
we're
asking
for
in
terms
of
a
levy
increase.
F
Thank
you
not
seen,
I
believe,
in
the
other
hands
and
everything
yeah
I
I
agree
that
it
is
reflective
of
what
our
budget
retreats
have
been
being
the
fact
that
the
tree
reforestation
levy
is
expiring.
F
Of
course,
I
have
a
great
deal
of
concern
that
we
have
some
sort
of
gap
in
regards
to
that,
and
but
I
I
I
truly
agree
that
you
know
our
youth
initiatives
here
are
our
priority
and
I,
if
somehow
we
could
should,
I
say,
sell
well.
I
appreciate
the
the
employment
that
you're
talking
about
for
youth,
engaging
our
youth
and
how
critical
our
park
system
is
to
mitigate
climate
change,
I
think
is,
is
is
perhaps
probably
our
most.
F
Our
greatest
asset-
and
I
I
really
hope
that
anything
that
we
do
incorporates
that
over
and
over
and
over
again
that
you
know
our
perk
system
is
what
is
going
to
assure
their
future.
I
I
think
that's
is
it
succinctly,
as
I
can
say
it,
you
know.
Climate
change
is
upon
not
just
me
it's
upon
our
youth,
and
so
I
I
just
hope
that
we
can
further.
You
know
put
that
into
you,
know
our
youth
initiative.
So
thank
you
so,
commissioner,
music,
did
you
have
something
further,
you
want
to
say.
F
All
right,
so
I
don't
believe
that
there
is
anything
else
that
we
need
so
with
the
secretary
I'll.
Please
call
the
role
on
our
setting
of
the
living.
Oh,
but
okay,.
