The Bernins lived there until the end of 2022 when they terminated the <br />lease. The park master plan was updated, and construction documents were in progress.

The City’s new facility rental <br />program was launched in 2023, and there were over 500 rentals and around $15,000 in revenue <br />during the first six months with half the bookings done solely online. A grand opening of the <br />Pede Pedersen Pavilion was also in 2023, and along with Lions Volunteer Park, received the <br />Award of Excellence from the Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association. Special events held <br />in 2023 included a sledding party, outdoor concert at the Pede Pedersen Pavilion, Kids ‘n Biz, <br />and the third annual Santa Party and Tree Lighting. <br />Weidt asked if there was any feedback from those using the pavilion, and Klein asked about the <br />cleaning.
