Public Comments
Bill Wacker, 3603 Laverne Avenue North. He asked the commission what other projects are
planned for Lion’s Park because he lives right across the street. Mr. Wacker is hoping for
a more family oriented park in the future and not so heavily focused on sports. The
commission was unaware of any plans, but referred Mr. Wacker to Director Powers who
said nothing is set in stone yet. Then he asked where the skating rink would be located
this year and Weeks said it will be on top of the pickleball court. Director Powers
clarified that is the hockey one and if they choose to have a second rink for pleasure
skating it would be closer to the warming house, but it has not been decided if a second
rink would be opened this year. Overall, Mr. Wacker said Lion’s Park is not very family
friendly right now and he wants to see improvements in the future.
Tony Manzara, 5050 Kirkwood Avenue North. Mr. Manzara extended an invitation to
commissioners and the public to attend the 2nd annual Buckthorn Removal Festival on
October 26th 10-1. He stated the event went really well last year and this year is
expected to be very successful again.
Susan Dunn, 11018 Upper 33rd Street North. Ms. Dunn expressed concerns at Lion’s Park in
regards to there being no shade and agrees it is not family friendly right now. She asked
for an update on mountain bike trails in Reid Park. The commission was unsure of any
updates, but think with the wet year the work will continue into next year. She stated
Dr
a
f
t
the proposed bike trails in Sunfish Lake Park is against the plans in the 2030 Comp Plan.
She requested to see the updated maps of Sunfish Lake Park. Ms. Dunn is asking the
commission to review their past decisions and reconsider not allowing these bike trails
in Sunfish Lake Park because they are going against the 2030 Comp Plan.
Development of Inwood Park
Prchal presented that in the CIP the Parks Commission set aside $150,000 to develop the park
in Inwood. The park has 2 acres of usable space to develop. He brought items to
consider as: parking, user demographics, proximity to other parks and the amount of
homes in the neighborhood. Ames asked for clarification if there were any restrictions
on tying Stonegate into Inwood like a connecting trail between the two parks. Prchal did
not think so and said that it could be possible in the future. The presentation had
several maps to show the land that is available for the park and proposed ideas such as:
trails, trees and pickleball courts. Prchal is asking the commission to create a list of
amenities they would like to see in the park to allocate the $150,000.
Ames liked that this was presented as a park for all city residents. He said he likes the idea of
pickleball courts and a pavilion. Weeks agreed that this park would be heavily used by
all residents. The one concern the commission had was figuring out the best option for
parking, whether it would be adding street parking or creating a new lot.
Mark Rubbert, 8740 9th Place North. Presented on behalf of the residents of Inwood and what
they would like to see happen in the park. He said their development created a task
force to work with the city to help with the design and development of the park. They
would like to see: outdoor exercise stations, native plantings and new trees, paths to a
pavilion, open playfield, picnic area, pickleball, bocce ball and basketball courts, and
connecting path to Stonegate Park. He provided several questions for the commission,
such as: timing, criteria, meeting and review schedule, and what else can their task force
do to help the process.
Ames said the task force can help if they keep coming to the Parks Commission meetings and
voicing their opinions.
Weeks asked Mr. Rubbert what amenities are most important to the residents considering the
budget constraints. Mr. Rubbert said that they really would like to see the native
planting, the outdoor exercise stations, a pavilion, and pickleball courts.
Schumacher asked for clarification on the funding. Prchal stated that the money comes out of
the park dedication fund and is not a set amount every year. Ames like the idea of bocce
ball and said a court would be very cheap to build. The commission wants to make sure
the park will be inclusive to all residents’ not just residents of Inwood and pushed for
trail connectivity between Inwood and Stonegate.
Zeno asked if the task force has any interest in becoming adopt a park group. Mr. Rubbert said
they would be open to that so they can help in any way possible.
Cheryl Olstad, 729 Ivywood Circle North. She borders the north end of Inwood Park. Her
concerns are about a natural drainage that runs diagonally all the way through the 2
acres of land. She brought this up to help map out the land better for positioning of
proposed amenities. She suggested a rain garden would be great to help the drainage as
well as planting more trees. She wants the park to stay as natural and maintenance free
Dr
a
f
t
as possible. Schumacher asked for clarification on the proposed location of the
pickleball courts and that they would not work in the propose location due to drainage
issues. Ms. Olstad confirmed that is correct and she wants them in a location where the
drainage won’t affect the area.
Zeno asked to formally generate a list of proposed amenities that they would like to see in the
park. Prchal listed off: Bike rack, pavilion, electricity/water, pickleball, bocce ball,
exercise equipment, and garbage. Prchal also said he would get a cost for running atrial
between Inwood and Stonegate. The trail would lead to the loss of trees, Weeks
proposed looking into a new location for the path to run to limit the loss of trees.
Ames wanted to make sure the trails consist of the same material, noting that Stonegate is
crushed gravel, but the commission leaned more toward pavement for accessibility
reasons.
Director Powers wanted to bring up the popularity of Frisbee golf and that could be considered
for the park.
Zeno encouraged the task force to stay in touch with the commissioners and city staff to help
move this process forward.
The commission recommended city staff to gather pricing options for the proposed amenities
and to present findings at a future meeting.
Naming Savona Park
Prchal presented on some proposed names for the commission to look at. He highlighted the
policies for selecting a name. In the packet there are some proposed names provided
with some names that are Native American, historical people and random names. These
names came from the public who were interested in submitting names. Prchal is hoping
the commission can decide on one name, if not picking three and bringing them to
council would be good as well.
Weeks likes the idea of naming parks after people, but the Shiltgen farm was not located close
to Savona. So he pulled out old plat maps of the area to find historical names of people
that lived there. The name Hammes stood out to him because they had been in the area
the longest. Weeks recommended Hammes, Mitigomin, Goose Lake and Prairie Pond
Park.
Zeno recommend Hammes and Mitigomin Park.
Nightingale recommended Mitigomin and Acorn Park. Prchal clarified that Mitigomin means
acorn.
Ames recommended Mitigomin and Acorn Park.
Schumacher recommended Mitigomin and Reflection Park.
Weeks motioned to recommend Hammes and Mitigomin Park as park names for the Savona
development to the City Council, with notations as to why they liked the names.
Seconded by Ames.
Motion passed unanimously.

Communications
Zeno stated that he has missed a few meetings and wanted an update on the Sunfish Lake Park
mountain bike trails. Prchal stated that it cannot be approved until the updated Comprehensive
Plan has been approved, but once that is approved those trails will head to the City Council.
Prchal did say that the City received an EAW request from an environmental quality board, but
the stance for the assessment did not warrant the request and it was denied by the City Council.
Ames asked where the potential new development will be located. Prchal said that it will be located
near Inwood.
Weeks attended the City Council Workshop presentation from the Urban Land Institute a few weeks ago
and he thought it was a very helpful meeting. He was impressed that these developers
emphasized that parks and trail connections are very important for development.
Meeting adjourned at 8:20 p.m.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: November 18th, 2019
ITEM #:
TO: Parks Commission
FROM: Ben Prchal, City Planner
AGENDA ITEM: Development of Inwood Park
REVIEWED BY: Ken Roberts, Planning Director
BACKGROUND:
The City has decided that it would be appropriate to develop the available park Land in the Inwood
Development. During the October 21st meeting, Staff asked the Parks Commission as well as an active
Inwood Community group to provide details on the types of amenities they want to see in the park space. At
the October 21st meeting suggested amenities were provided to Staff and a breakout of pricing will be provided
during this review.
ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION:
What amenities would the Parks Commission like to recommend for inclusion in the Inwood Park?
ANALYSIS/FISCAL IMPACT:
The entire park is 12.11 acres in size, which includes the north/south trail connection. However, Staff is expecting
about 1.8 acres of the park will be useable for “active use amenities.” In the past there have been many ideas of the
types of uses that this park should satisfy. At one point exercise
equipment was discussed, picnic tables and a pavilion, and a pickle ball
court(s) have all been on the table when it comes to this park.
Some things Staff would like the Commission to keep in mind is that the neighboring park to the East known as
Stonegate has a baseball field, playground, and parking.
Suggested Amenities for Inwood:
Bike Rack Pavilion (with electric) Pickleball
Water fountain Trash cans/seating Exercise equipment
Walking Trail Connection(s) Frisbee golf Bocce ball
2
FISCAL IMPACT:
At this time, $150,000 is reserved to develop the park. The funds are not sufficient enough to cover all of the
desired items. Due to the cost of the amenities Staff would like to recommend follow through on one of two
options and add the other items in additional an additional phase(s).
(Please refer to the breakout table explaining the
costs.)
Plan 1 – Pavilion, Pickleball,
Benches/Picnic tables, and trash cans.
Cost $122,045 Remaining Funds for grading
or unforeseen costs $27,955
Plan 2 – Pickleball, Benches/Picnic tables,
Walking Trail, and Trees.
Cost $111,080 Remaining funds for grading
or unforeseen costs $38,920
Staff Comments
Staff is recommending that the development
be broken up into more than one phase so
that the City does not accidentally
overextend on the allowed budget.
Plan 1 – Plan one has value in that it
provides an active use while also giving the
park the opportunity to have a passive
location to sit and wait to use the pickleball
court, or other amenities that may be present.
Plan 2 – Staff views this as the preferred option because it provides and active use (pickleball), benches/picnic
table under the trees (alternative to the pavilion), and a walking trail connection to the Stonegate park. Public
Works will be able to help with the removal of trees to establish the Stongate trail connection.
After discussing the plans with Public Works it seems prudent to plant prairie grass east of the courts and north
towards the home. There are grant opportunities to purchase seed and Washington County allows Cities to rent a
no-till seeder. This will minimize the amount of mowing that will be required and provide prairie habitat. Staff is
recommending that the Commission allow Public works to utilize the savings to purchase seed (if the grant is not
successful) and rent the planter from Washington County.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is recommending Plan 2 as it appears to be more in line with the objectives of the Park Commission while also
providing shading for the picnic tables.

Executive summary
Title: Bid tabulation: award bid for addition of pickleball courts in Wolfe Park
Recommended action: Motion to designate K.A. Witt Construction Inc. as the lowest
responsible bidder and authorize execution of a contract in the amount of $209,906 for the
pickleball courts in Wolfe Park.
Policy consideration: Does the city council wish to proceed with this projects by authorizing staff
to enter into a contract with K.A. Witt Construction Inc.?
Summary: A total of seven bids were received for the Wolfe Park pickleball court project;
summary is as follows:
Contractor Bid amount
K.A. Witt Construction Inc. $209,906.00
GL Contracting, Inc. $231,337.55
Peterson Companies $237,217.28
G Urban Companies $244,582.00
ODESA II $255,740.50
Meyer Contracting, Inc. $297,503.46
Barber Construction, Inc. $313,777.80
A review of the bids indicates K.A. Witt Construction Inc. submitted the lowest responsible bid
for the addition of pickleball courts in Wolfe Park. References have been checked and K.A. Witt
Construction Inc. has completed this type of project successfully in other cities.
Financial or budget considerations: This project is included in the city’s Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP) for 2019 for $175,000. The low bid was $209,906. Additional expenses for consultants
and soil disposal put the project costs at $238,406. The increase in bids is due to two main
factors: asphalt and steel costs. Similar to what the city has experienced with higher bids on
street projects, the price of asphalt has risen dramatically due to all the construction projects in
the area. Steel is needed for the fencing around the courts. Steel costs are also coming in higher
for other cities. Staff recommends proceeding with this very project. We do not think rebidding
this would result in lower prices. We have rearranged some CIP projects and have saved money
on other projects so that we have money to cover the increased cost for this project in the Park
Improvement Fund.
Strategic priority consideration: St. Louis Park is committed to creating opportunities to build
social capital through community engagement.

MOTION
AGENDA ITEM: Parks Commission 2019 Work Plan
SUBMITTED BY: Ben Prchal, City Planner
BACKGROUND:
Every year the Parks Commission works with Staff on establishing a list of activities that should be
accomplished throughout the year. During the 2019 season quite a few of the listed items were achieved.
The Plan reaffirms the overall goals of the Parks Commission and outlines projects to be worked on
throughout the year yet has the flexibility to respond to priorities as they emerge. The projects are broken
down in to the following categories:
Planning and Policy – This section addresses the larger long term park projects and funding
opportunities.
Development & Equipping –Projects that will be carried out in the following year.
o This would be limited to projects approved through CIP.
o This gives opportunity to break down specific tasks associated with developing and equipping.
Maintenance & Refurbishing – Projects in this category are carried out by public works staff and
does not rely on the parks fund for funding.
Nature & Conservation – What specific activities can the Parks Commission carry out this year to
promote open space character and commitment to the environment via nature observation amenities
and targeted conservation programs?
Park Awareness – Establishes the goals and ways in which Staff and the Commission can receive
feedback from the community.
Finance – How, specifically, does the Parks Commission want to spend and budget Parks and
Recreation funds?
o This will of course go hand-in-hand with planning and audit but this specifically should focus
on next tasks to be carried out in terms of budget.
ISSUE BEFORE PARKS COMMISSION:
Staff would like the Commission to review the Work Plan and bring ideas back for the December 16th 2019
meeting, which is when the plan will formally be reviewed.
DETAILS AND ANALYSIS:
The projects listed in red text are the projects that were accomplished or had been reviewed by Commission
and City Council in 2019. Staff will be updating the list for 2020 and bring the work plan back for the
December 16th meeting. All projects slated for development through the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) in
either 2020 or 2021 will shift onto the work list. As mentioned earlier Staff is not asking for a formal review
at this time. Instead this should serve as awareness to the Commission that the plan will be looked at in
December and to bring ideas for the plan at that time.
