2 MISSION STATEMENT The mission of Three Rivers Park District is to promote environmental stewardship through recreation and education in a natural resources-based park system. Three Rivers Park District was established in 1957 after legislation was enacted in 1955 allowing for the activation of park districts whose primary duties are acquisition, development and maintenance of large parks, wildlife sanctuaries, forest and other reservations, and means for public access to historic sites and to lakes, rivers and streams and to other natural phenomena (Minnesota State Statutes, Chapter ). The Park District serves over 10 million visitors each year with nearly 27,000 acres of park reserves, regional parks, trails and special use areas in Hennepin and six adjoining counties. With facilities for every season, the Park District offers many activities including picnicking, swimming, play areas, boating, fishing, golfing, camping, downhill skiing, snowboarding, and sledding. The Park District has developed an extensive trail system for hiking, biking, in-line skating, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. There are also program sites for nature, recreation, historic, and farm education. Please refer to the Park District s website at for more information, including a full listing of activities offered in the parks. The Board has five Committees: Finance and Administration, Intergovernmental and Community Engagement, Long-Range Strategic Initiatives, Park and Trail Operations, and Recreation, Education and Natural Resources. Committee meetings are generally held on the first Thursday of every month at 9:00 a.m. Regular Board Meetings are generally held on the third Thursday of every month at 5:00 p.m. BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS Penny Steele Rogers (District 1) Jennifer DeJournett Maple Grove (District 2) Daniel Freeman, Vice Chair Golden Valley (District 3) John Gunyou, Chair Minnetonka (District 4) John Gibbs Bloomington (District 5) SENIOR MANAGEMENT Boe Carlson, Superintendent and Secretary to the Board Jeffrey Brauchle General Counsel Thomas McDowell Associate Superintendent Recreation, Education & Natural Resources Jonathan Vlaming Associate Superintendent Planning, Design & Technology Larry Blackstad Hennepin County Appointee Steven E.

Background: Any individual wishing to address the Board on subjects which are not part of the meeting agenda may do so at this time. Such items will typically be referred to staff for review, action and/or recommendation for future board action. The public will also be provided an opportunity to address the Board on items which are on the agenda at the appropriate time.

11 REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 09/18/14 Business Item: Consent Item Number: 5A Division: Recreation, Education & Nat. Resources Originating Source: Tom McDowell, Assoc. Supt. Agenda Item: Amendment to the Lease/Use Agreement with Team Gilboa Ski Club of Minnesota Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT TO AMEND THE LEASE/USE AGREEMENT WITH TEAM GILBOA SKI CLUB OF MINNESOTA INCLUDING EXTENSION OF THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT UNTIL The following information was prepared by Fred Seymour, Alpine Services Manager, and Tom McDowell, Associate Superintendent. Background: For over 40 years, the Park District has provided the Hyland Ski and Snowboard Area as the venue for the alpine and winter sports activities of Team Gilboa Ski Club of Minnesota. Team Gilboa is a nonprofit corporation, and a nationally recognized winter sports program dedicated to the development and training of young men and women in alpine ski racing and snowboard competition. This long-standing partnership has generated many positive outcomes. The well-run ski area, with reliable snow and consistent racing conditions supports Team Gilboa s high quality training program, and the visibility and success of Team Gilboa s skiers has promoted a positive image for HSSA. In 2000, a Memorandum of Understanding and a Lease/Use Agreement (Reference 4A-1 in the Park and Trail Operations Committee section of the 09/04/14 Committee Packet) were approved by the Park District and Team Gilboa primarily to define the conditions under which Team Gilboa would construct and use a building at HSSA. Recently staff met with program partners to discuss the chalet reconstruction project and the coming winter season. Discussion with Team Gilboa representatives resulted in a proposal that the Lease Agreement be revised to more accurately reflect the expectations and responsibilities of each party. A summary of the benefits to Three Rivers includes: Season pass sales to 275 athletes in Team Gilboa program, many of whom are enrolled for ten years or more. Team Gilboa is a partner with a national reputation providing local ski racers access to world class and Olympic training and competition. Former Team Gilboa athlete, Kaylin Richardson is a two time Olympian. HSSA logos on coaches and athlete jackets promotes HSSA brand awareness at regional and national race events. HSSA is home to the Team Gilboa-sponsored USSA Jody Spooner Memorial race which attracts ski racers from a five state area. Team Gilboa expands Three Rivers spectrum of recreation activities by promoting an active, healthy, outdoor lifestyle through skiing.

12 Team Gilboa establishes skiing as a lifelong sport. Many Team Gilboa alumni have their children enrolled on the team. Staff is also recommending the successful partnership between Three Rivers and Team Gilboa be reflected by amending the Lease Agreement to extend the term until Reference 5A-1 is a revised version of Amendment No. 1 to the Lease/Use Agreement presented during the 09/04/14 Park and Trail Operations Committee meeting, reflecting current insurance liability limitations. Representatives of Team Gilboa will be present at the September 4 th Committee meeting to answer questions or provide information about the Club s activities. If Commissioners are supportive of this action, staff will draft an amendment to reflect the extension. Relationship to the Vision Plan The Request for Action supports the following element(s) of the Vision Plan: Inspire people to recreate Create vibrant places Collaborate across boundaries Relationship to the Policy Statement The Request for Action supports the following element(s) of the Policy Statement: Policy IX - Recreation Use A. Park District s Role in the Provision of Recreational Activity C. Special Interest Recreational Activities E. Cooperation in Recreation Uses

15 REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 09/18/14 Business Item: Consent Item Number: 5B Division: Recreation, Education & Nat. Resources Originating Source: Tom McDowell, Assoc. Supt. Agenda Item: Glen Lake Golf and Practice Center Proposed 2015 Budget Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO ADOPT THE 2015 OPERATING BUDGET FOR GLEN LAKE GOLF AND PRACTICE CENTER AND AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT TO SUBMIT THE PROPOSED BUDGET TO THE HENNEPIN COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR ADOPTION. The following information was prepared by Howard Koolick; Tom McDowell; Jeff May; Bill Vollbrecht, Doug Behrens and Mark Hill. Background: Three Rivers operates the Glen Lake Golf and Practice Center under a cooperative agreement with Hennepin County, which is the owner of the facility. The agreement outlines responsibilities of the Park District and the County and creates the Glen Lake Golf Joint Operations Committee, which is composed of staff from the Park District and the County. This committee oversees the operations, maintenance and fiscal affairs of the facility. The agreement also includes a variety of financial issues including how any profits would be allocated between the County and the Park District. The cooperative agreement calls for the Park District to develop an annual operating budget for the facility, including recommended fees. The annual operating budget is proposed by Park District staff, reviewed by the Glen Lake Golf Joint Operations Committee, recommended to the Park District Board of Commissioners for consideration and, once approved, is then submitted to the Hennepin County Board for adoption. The Operations Committee reviewed the budget at the August 27, 2014, Operations Committee Meeting. The attached budget packet (Reference 4A-1 in the Finance and Administration Committee section of the 09/04/14 Committee Packet) provides highlights and details of the Committee s budget recommendations. As previously stated, once approved by the Park District Board, the proposed budget is then forwarded to the Hennepin County Board for consideration. The 2015 Budget projects revenues of $932,979 and expenditures of $932,979 with $29,086 in contingency expense (net revenues). This compares to the 2014 budget, which included revenues of $912,550 and expenses of $912,550, with a contingency amount of $28,811. Positive net revenues are needed to rebuild the Glen Lake Enterprise Fund balance. The fund balance goal was established by the Operations Committee at $150,000. As a condition of the Cooperative Agreement between Hennepin County and Three Rivers, the Park District retains 30% of the net profits after the minimum fund balance of $150,000 has been achieved.

16 At the September 4 th Board meeting, staff will provide a brief status report on the 2014 season at Glen Lake. Due to a very late spring opening and wet spring weather, revenues are below what was budgeted. In response to the challenging spring conditions staff was able to reduce expenses, and late summer weather allowed for increased revenues, however it is not certain that revenues will exceed expenditures for the season. It should be noted that in the event the 2014 season concludes without reaching budgeted revenue goals, the Park District s agreement with Hennepin County provides Three Rivers the discretion to fund, on a temporary basis, cash deficits through loans from other Park District funds. These annual cash deficits will be accounted for in the Glen Lake Golf Fund as a Fund deficit. In the event that the agreement is terminated, the County will reimburse Three Rivers for any deficits remaining. Following the status report on the 2014 season, staff will provide an overview of the proposed 2015 budget as reviewed by the Joint Operations Committee. If the Board is supportive of the proposed budget, it will be forwarded to the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners for adoption. The attached budget for Glen Lake includes: Highlights of the 2014 operating season 2015 budget summary and work plan highlights 2015 revenue and expense summaries Fee schedules and comparative rates 2015 position complement summary The budget format supplies significantly more detail than is usually provided, in order to effectively support review by Hennepin County. Relationship to the Vision Plan The Request for Action supports the following element(s) of the Vision Plan: Inspire people to recreate Relationship to the Policy Statement The Request for Action supports the following element(s) of the Policy Statement: Policy V - District Finance A. Financial Management Plan C. Fees and Charges D. Special Revenue Facilities

17 REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 09/18/14 Business Item: Consent Item Number: 5C Division: Recreation, Education & Nat. Resources Originating Source: Tom McDowell, Assoc. Supt. Agenda Item: HSSA Operating Budget and Update Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO ADOPT THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR HYLAND SKI AND SNOWBOARD AREA. The following information was prepared by Fred Seymour, Senior Manager of Alpine Services and Tom McDowell, Associate Superintendent, Division of Recreation, Education, and Natural Resources. Background: The winter season presents an enormous challenge for staff at Hyland Ski and Snowboard Area. Numerous Board and staff discussions have affirmed the importance of maintaining a winter operation at HSSA, even during the chalet reconstruction, which necessitates operating without a permanent building or onsite parking. As the reconstruction project was being developed it was clear that efforts should be made to maintain continuity and minimize opportunities for skiers to migrate to other ski areas or more importantly to stop skiing in favor of other activities. This decision, however is not synonymous with all things remaining status quo. The operation at HSSA will be reduced. Although staff s ability to produce and maintain outstanding snow conditions on the ski slope is unaffected by the construction project, most other facets of the HSSA operation and especially the user experience will be impacted. The reduced capacity of the temporary structure and onsite parking will result in reductions in all areas of the operation, including the revenue points. The lessons program will be reduced by approximately 55% and food service will be limited to prepackaged food and drink options. In short, during the coming winter season emphasis will be directed at providing the same variety of services as in the past, but on a much smaller scale. A priority will be placed on maintaining a commitment to season pass-holders and supporting team activities. It is anticipated that this reduced operation will necessitate a deficit budget for the winter season, however staff feels confident the increased capacity afforded by the new chalet will offset the deficit the following season. Due to the unique circumstances and reduced operation associated with the coming season, the budget proposes expenditures of $2,872,244, and revenues totaling $2,741,000 resulting in a deficit of $131,244 (Reference 4B-1 in the Finance and Administration Committee section of the 09/04/14 Committee Packet). The Park District Financial Management Plan calls for the budget to include a contingency equal to 10% of the operation s budget and a contribution to the capital improvement reserve fund equal to 5% of the operation s budget. These two items have not been included in the budget due to the financial constraints caused by the chalet reconstruction. In addition, the budget

18 does not include a contribution to the chair lift replacement fund. These actions depart from previous budgets however staff believes they are appropriate to minimize the deficit. As previously stated, it is anticipated that the increased capacity of the new chalet will erase the shortfall in the following season Relationship to the Vision Plan The Request for Action supports the following element(s) of the Vision Plan: Inspire people to recreate. Create vibrant places. Collaborate across boundaries. Relationship to Policy Statement The Request for Action supports the following element(s) of the Policy Statement: Policy I Purpose of the Park District Policy IX Recreation Use: C. Special Interest Recreation Activities. E. Cooperation in Recreation Uses.

51 REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 09/18/14 Business Item: Unfinished Item Number: 6A Division: Recreation, Education & Nat. Resources Originating Source: Tom McDowell, Assoc. Supt. Agenda Item: Cooperative Agreement between City of Minnetrista, Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, and Three Rivers Park District Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT TO ENTER INTO A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF MINNETRISTA AND MINNEHAHA CREEK WATERSHED DISTRICT TO DESIGN CHANNEL STABILIZATION STRUCTURES IN LAKE MINNETONKA REGIONAL PARK TO MINIMIZE EROSION. The following information was prepared by John Barten, Director of Natural Resources Management. Background: At the July 17, 2014 meeting, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Superintendent to draft a Joint Project Agreement with the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD) and the City of Minnetrista, for future Board consideration, to stabilize three eroding channels in Lake Minnetonka Regional Park. During discussions with MCWD and the City, it was determined that drafting a comprehensive agreement addressing the project budget and funding sources would be difficult because construction costs will not be known until the design is completed. Therefore, the three parties agreed to split the agreement into two phases, one agreement for the design work and a separate agreement for the project construction. The attached draft agreement (Reference 6A-1) addresses the design of the stabilization work. MCWD and the City of Minnetrista agree to participate in the design of the project in order to expedite the permit approval process. The Park District has received a preliminary price quote of approximately $25,000 for project design costs. The agreement stipulates that the Park District will fund the design costs on park property. As noted in the original Board Action, staff will be applying to the MCWD for cost-share assistance from their Shoreline/Streambank Stabilization Grant Program when the design work quantifies project construction costs. Relationship to the Vision The Request for Action supports the following elements of the Vision Plan: Protect the region s water and natural resources Collaborate across boundaries Relationship to Policy Statement The Request for Action supports the following elements of the Policy Statement: Policy I - Purpose of the Park District Policy VIII - Natural Resources Management

52 DRAFT 9/10/14 Reference 6A-1 COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT Minnehaha Creek Watershed District, Three Rivers Park District, and the City of Minnetrista Lake Minnetonka Regional Park Ravine Stabilization The parties to this Agreement are the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD), a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota with powers as provided at Minnesota Statutes chapters 103B and 103D, the Three Rivers Park District (TRPD), a body corporate and a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota with powers pursuant to Minnesota Statutes chapter 398 (TRPD), and the City of Minnetrista, ( City ) a political subdivision of the State of Minnesota (together, Parties ). The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for the design of structural, bioengineering and vegetative improvements to stabilize eroding drainage channels in Lake Minnetonka Regional Park and adjacent private property within the City of Minnetrista ( Project ). Recitals 1. Lake Minnetonka Regional Park is a substantially undeveloped 292-acre park adjacent to Lake Minnetonka with a diversity of significant natural resource features. 2. The TRPD owns and manages the park, which contains several channels that convey runoff from adjacent agricultural and developed areas to Lake Minnetonka and Stone Lake. 3. These channels have eroded significantly over the past 10 years, resulting in a significant sediment load to Lake Minnetonka and Stone Lake. The erosion also has undermined a City sanitary sewer pipe crossing the TRPD property, resulting in leakage of septic discharge toward Lake Minnetonka. 4. The TRPD, the City and the MCWD wish to collaborate in the TRPD s construction of the Project in order to stabilize these channels to convey existing and future storm water flow, reduce sediment discharge into Lake Minnetonka, protect City of Minnetrista sanitary sewer infrastructure, improve riparian habitat, and demonstrate innovative channel stabilization and restoration techniques. 5. The City and the MCWD each have regulatory authority over the Project. The Parties wish to collaborate in the design process so that design criteria required by City ordinance and MCWD rules are incorporated in advance of formal permit review. 1

53 DRAFT 9/10/14 Terms THEREFORE the Parties commit to the following, intending to be legally bound: 1. Design a. Attachment A, incorporated herein, is a site plan identifying the ravine locations that the Project will address. The TRPD will retain a consultant to design the Project. The consultant s scope of work will provide for the collaborative process set forth in section 2 below. b. To perform its work under this section 1, the TRPD and its designer will need to enter private property adjacent to the TRPD property. The parties will work together to communicate with and seek the cooperation of the property owner with respect to entry for design as well as the future rights necessary to perform and maintain the work. 2. Design Collaboration a. The representatives for each party identified at section 7 below will coordinate so that the Parties collaborate in the design process. This process includes a kickoff meeting with the TRPD designer and subsequent meetings or other structured shared review at conceptual, preliminary and 90 percent design. In particular, but not exclusively, the TRPD and its designer will coordinate closely with the City with respect to the manner in which the design addresses the City s need to protect its sanitary sewer infrastructure. b. The City and the MCWD will include the participation of regulatory program staff during the design process. Neither party makes a representation of Project permit approval in advance of formal permit review. However, the mutual goal is that regulatory considerations be included in the design process so that favorable permit decisions can be reasonably expected. c. The TRPD will bear the cost to retain the designer. Each party otherwise will bear its own costs for its participation under this section. 3. Construction and Maintenance Agreement a. At the time that the TRPD designer has completed feasibility review and is able to estimate project cost with reasonable accuracy, the Parties will negotiate a project agreement for construction and maintenance. The expectation is that the TRPD will construct, establish and maintain the Project. The expectation further is that the TRPD will fund the majority of Project cost, while the City will contribute funds commensurate with the benefits to city lands and utilities and with its own responsibility to limit sedimentation into its surface waters. 2

54 DRAFT 9/10/14 b. The MCWD operates programs such as its Shoreline/Streambank Stabilization Grant Program that also may be a source of Project funding. The MCWD will assist in aligning the Project with the funding criteria for District grant programs, though no funding commitment is made until a formal application is reviewed. The Parties also will collaborate to explore and secure outside funding for Project construction. c. The project agreement may incorporate final plans or may specify a process for establishing final plans approved by the Parties, as is deemed preferable. The agreement also will provide for cooperation among the parties in securing the necessary rights to perform and maintain the work on the adjacent private property. It is envisioned that the agreement also will incorporate a maintenance plan approved by the Parties for TRPD implementation. d. This Agreement establishes the good faith intentions of the Parties but is not legally binding as concerns the Parties roles and responsibilities for Project construction. The subsequent project agreement would establish such legally binding roles and responsibilities. 4. Independent Relationship No employee, representative, contractor or consultant of a party to this Agreement acts in any respect as the agent or representative of another party. No party agrees to be responsible for the acts or omissions of another within the meaning of Minnesota Statutes , subdivision 1a. 5. Effective Date and Termination a. This Agreement is effective on the date that it is fully executed by the Parties and will remain in force for three years thereafter unless earlier terminated by mutual agreement of the Parties. b. A party may terminate this Agreement on 30 days written notice to the other parties if it determines that a party is not fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement. Before exercising its right of termination, it will inform and seek to convene the Parties in good faith to address its concerns. 6. Compliance with Laws Each party will comply with the laws and requirements of all federal, state, local and other governmental units in performing its responsibilities under this Agreement. 7. Party Representatives The following representatives will be points of contact for any informal or formal matters under this Agreement. A party may change its representative or its representative s contact information by notifying the other parties in writing: 3

57 REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 09/18/14 Business Item: New Item Number: 7A Division: Planning, Design & Technology Originating Source: Jonathan Vlaming, Assoc. Supt. Agenda Item: Approval of Contract for District Wide Regional Trail Kiosks and Directional Signs Fabrication and Installation Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD CHAIR AND SUPERINTENDENT TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH SIGNART COMPANY, INC. OF EAU CLAIRE, WI FOR THE FABRICATION AND INSTALLATION OF TRAIL KIOSKS AND DIRECTIONAL SIGNS FOR DISTRICT WIDE USE ON THE REGIONAL TRAIL SYSTEM, IN THE BASE BID AMOUNT OF $397, WITH FINANCING FROM THE INDIVIDUAL REGIONAL TRAIL PROJECTS CONSTRUCTION BUDGETS. The following information was prepared by Alex Meyer, Landscape Architect. Background: In 2005, Three Rivers began implementing a regional trail wayfinding/signage program to better serve trail visitors with on-trail maps and directional signs to services, amenities and destinations. In addition, the program reinforces the regional trail status and identifies Three Rivers as the trail provider. Our trail visitor studies have found that the program is very popular and that people appreciate the maps. The program provides wayfinding services to over 4,000,000 trail visitors each year. There are three components of the wayfinding/signage program: system-wide kiosks, regional trail kiosks and directional signage. These three components are typically configured into three levels of way finding (Reference 7A-1). In 2005, the Board awarded the contract for fabrication and installation of district-wide regional trail kiosks and signage to SignArt Company, Inc. which included the entire regional trail system built at that time. Since the initial installation, new trails typically have the wayfinding signage components installed as the trail is developed. Nine Mile Creek RT, Intercity RT and Crystal Lake RT are all planned for construction in the near future and will need wayfinding signage fabricated and installed as part of the construction of those trails. Design plans for those projects provide the quantity of each wayfinding component needed and the sum of those quantities served as the basis for establishing a bid for fabrication and installation. The Richfield segment of the Nine Mile Creek Regional Trail Richfield segment wayfinding signage units will be purchased and installed this fall pending approval of this contract. Funding for that trail segment s signage is included in the 2014 Asset Management Program. The other trails signage will be purchased and installed in conjunction with the construction

58 of those trails and the associated costs are factored into the construction budgets for each of those trails. The Bassett Creek RT and Twin Lakes RT construction projects are scheduled for 2016, and will involve fabrication and installation of wayfinding signage on those trails as well. Since those trails have not yet been designed, the number of units has not been determined. However, the proposed contract maintains set unit prices for three years, and the costs of the signage component will be incorporated into the construction budget of each of those projects. Bid Results Advertisement for bids for District Wide Regional Trail Kiosks and Directional Signs Fabrication and Installations was placed in Finance and Commerce. Construction documents were available through QuestCDN on July 22, Bids for this work were received on August 11, There were three plan holders of whom two submitted bids (Reference 7A-2). The low bid was submitted by SignArt Company, Inc. of Eau Claire, WI with a total base bid of $397, The Landscape Architect s estimate was $403,200. Staff Recommendation: Based on previous experience in working with SignArt Company, Inc. on the initial development and installations of the regional trail sign system and their willingness to work with our previous construction schedules, Staff recommends that the Board award the contract to SignArt Company, Inc. of Eau Claire, WI in the base bid amount $397, The construction contract is based upon unit prices and offers flexibility to increase and decrease quantities of work for pay items listed on the bid proposal forms. Prices are set for three years. The final contract amount may be more or less than the original contract amount. Relationship to the Vision: The Request for Action supports the following element(s) of the Vision Plan: Inspire people to recreate Connect people to nature Create vibrant places Relationship to the Policy Statement The Request for Action supports the following element(s) of the Policy Statement: Policy IX - Recreation Use B. General Interest Recreation Activities

59 Reference 7A-1 System Kiosk: System kiosks include a map of the regional trail system and information on the Park District. System kiosks are typically located at the beginning and ends of each trail, and at a mid-point when the trail is longer than 10 miles. Level A wayfinding includes a System Kiosk, Trail Kiosk and a Directional Sign. Trail Kiosk: Trail kiosks provide a map of the entire regional trail, along with an aerial photo map of the area around where the kiosk is located. The aerial map shows local trails and nearby services such as restrooms and water. Trail kiosks are located approximately every two miles along the trail. Level B Wayfinding includes the Trail Kiosk and a Directional Sign. Directional Sign: Directional signs have blades indicating the trail name and the direction and distances to trailheads and destinations such as French Regional Park. The distance information provides trail users with a way to determine how far they have traveled. Directional signs are located approximately one mile apart. Level C Wayfinding includes the Directional Sign.
