NEXT COUNCIL WORK SESSION: Tuesday, September 14, 2026 at 6:30 pm NEXT COUNCIL MEETING: Monday, August 10, 2026 at 6:00 pm THIS PAGE LEFT BLANK INTENTIONALLY Item No: 1 =ND TSV.1 �,�TMeeting Date: August 3, 2026 MO E 'V Type of Business: WS Administrator Review: City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Don Peterson, Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation Item Title/Subject: Park System Master Plan Funding and Bonding Questions Background: The City has relied on the Park Dedication Fund to provide the necessary funding for Park Improvements. These funds are generated by development and/or redevelopment in Mounds View. The largest contribution came from the development of the Medtronic Campus in which the funds were utilized to upgrade several playgrounds at the various parks, and constructing a new shelter building at Lambert Park. Unfortunately, there isn't developable land, and very little redevelopment in the City which resulted in minimal contributions to the Park Dedication Fund. Council has recognized the need to research other funding options. Progression in 2025: City Council approved Resolution 10129 on July 14, 2025, to adopt the Park System Master Plan. Resolution 10130 was approved to create an Advisory (sub) Committee (GOAL PARKS)for the Parks System Master Plan. The Committee would research funding options for implementing the 2040 Park System Master Plan, to include, but not limited to, a local levy, bonding (General Obligation Bonds), grants, or a local sales tax. Progression in 2026: At the March 26, 2026, Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commission Meeting, the GOAL PARKS Committee provided their recommendations for funding of the Park System Master Plan. On April 23, 2026, there was a joint City Council and Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commission meeting, to discuss the funding recommendations for the Parks System Master Plan. April 27, 2026, Resolution 10247 was approved by the Council, a Professional Service Agreement with WSB for the Park System Master Plan Education Campaign. May 26, 2026, Resolution 10256 was approved by the Council, a Professional Service Agreement with WOLD Architects to assist with the Park Master Plan Educational Campaign — to provide concepts drawings/renderings of Park Shelter Buildings and the potential remodel/expansion of the Community Center. June 29, 2026, City Council reviewed the Community Survey, conducted by Morris Leatherman, the overall survey was positive for the City on various City services. The survey also indicated there was support for Park bonding project. Staff has been working with both WSB and WOLD to provide concept plans and estimated costs related to both proposed projects. The following list of attachments corresponds to each project. Attachment A: Concept Overlay- Silver View Park: The project re-aligns the foul lines of the two ball fields so they do not cross in left and right fields, adds an inclusive play area, new park shelter with a capacity of 70 indoors and 70 in the outdoor patio area, new pickle ball courts, new trails, sidewalks making the Park more accessible, along with other items listed. Attachment B: Cost estimate for Silver View Park by WSB Attachment C: Concept Overlay-Woodcrest Park: Project includes installing a new nature play area, paved trail around the park, benches, etc. Attachment D: Cost estimate for Woodcrest Park prepared by WSB. Attachment E: Concept overlay of the Community Center: The proposed project would include adding two new courts to the building, new lockers rooms with showers and rest rooms, new addition for the fitness area, and remodeling of the front business offices. Attachment F: Cost Estimate for the Community Center- prepared by WOLD Architects Attachment G: Bonding and Property Tax Impact- prepared by Ehlers Incorporated. Attachment H: Bonding Questions - prepared by Kennedy and Graven—to be handed out at the meeting Monday night August 3, 2026. Attachment I: Grant Funding Options - prepared by WSB Attachment J: Education Campaign Overview- prepared by WSB. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. Financial Impact: This does not affect the 2026 budget. Recommendation: Staff will be at the August 3, 2026, Work Session for discussion and further direction from the City Council regarding this matter.

Link: T•Mobile Hometown Grant Attachment J Executive Summary:Communications&Engagement Plan MotM1 VIEW 2026 Mounds View Bond Program Overview wS b The City of Mounds View has developed a comprehensive communications and engagement strategy to support the 2026 bond program.The goal is to ensure residents are well-informed, have access to clear and factual information,and can participate meaningfully in the decision-making process. The plan aligns with City priorities for transparency,accessibility, and community-wide outreach, and integrates communications,engagement, and education into a coordinated approach leading up to the November 2026 election. Goals and Objectives The communications effort is guided by four primary objectives: increasing awareness and understanding of the bond program, including projects, costs, and process; building trust through transparent,consistent,and easy-to- understand information;ensuring equitable access to information across the community; and providing opportunities for two-way engagement and feedback.Success will be measured through website engagement, event participation,and overall communication reach. Approach The strategy uses a phased, multi-channel approach that combines digital, print,and in-person engagement to reach residents in different ways. Key principles include ensuring communication remains neutral, informational communication is aligned with legal requirements,is plain-language and accessible, and is prepared in a consistent voice. Audiences The plan prioritizes broad outreach while tailoring strategies for key groups. Primary audiences: Residents (homeowners and renters),families,seniors,and apartment residents • Secondary audiences: Local businesses,school district partners, community organizations, and stakeholders This approach ensures Citywide access to information while addressing harder-to-reach populations. Communications Channels A coordinated mix of channels will be used to maximize reach: • Digital: City website(central information hub); social media (including Facebook and Instagram); email and e-newsletters; and a video-recorded presentation. • Print:City newsletter inserts(August and October); utility billing inserts; and postcard mailer with QR code. In-person:Community meetings and briefings; Pop-up engagement at events; presentations to boards and community groups. These efforts are supported by core materials such as a bond overview, project fact sheets, and FAQs. Engagement Strategy The plan emphasizes both information sharing and active engagement through: 3 Community events and pop-up outreach including the Ice Cream Social (July), Night to Unite (August), and Festival in the Park(August) Attachment J • Stakeholder briefings and information sharing • Targeted outreach to seniors and apartment residents • Ongoing opportunities for questions and feedback These activities provide accessible, informal opportunities for residents to learn and engage. Timeline Communications are aligned with key milestones: • June—July: Finalize messaging and launch materials July—August: Begin print and digital outreach; newsletter distribution and events • Fall (Sept—Nov):Ongoing communication and ballot education • October 17: Early voting begins November:Election Day Messaging will evolve from general awareness to detailed information and ballot education. Materials and Support A coordinated set of materials will support communication and consistency, including: Bond overview and project fact sheets • Website content and FAQs • Newsletter,social media, and presentation content • Video and digital materials A communications toolkit will be available to staff and elected officials to ensure consistent messaging. Risk Considerations Risk considerations focus on maintaining clear, consistent, and trustworthy communication throughout the process.This includes ensuring all messaging remains informational and non-advocacy in nature, proactively addressing common questions about costs and project priorities, monitoring and responding to misinformation, and maintaining consistency across all communication channels. Summary This communications and engagement plan provides a clear,transparent,and community-focused framework to support the 2026 bond program. By combining consistent messaging, multiple outreach channels, and meaningful engagement opportunities,the City is positioned to: • Ensure residents understand the bond program • Provide accessible, accurate information • Support informed decision-making at the ballot box the Moands View Vi;ion .d T.�t�ivi;rq Drsi;rrv(e Cc,•nr;;;r:ih
