PARK AND TRAIL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE REQUEST FOR ACTION Meeting Date: 12/01/16 Business Item: Item Number: 4A Division: Planning, Design & Technology Originating Source: Jonathan Vlaming, Assoc. Supt. Agenda Item: Resolution in Support of a Hennepin Youth Sports Grant Application for the Hyland Ski Jump Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD APPROVE A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF A HENNEPIN YOUTH SPORTS GRANT APPLICATION FOR THE HYLAND SKI JUMP. Background: In 2014, Three Rivers partnered with the Minneapolis Ski Club (MSC) to apply for, and receive, a Hennepin Youth Sports Grant (HYSG) of $325,000 for improvements to the three small jumps at the Hyland Ski Jump site. Project components included reconstruction of the three jumps, additional lighting, summer surfacing for year-round use, construction of infiltration ponds, and development of a paved parking lot for the facility. Three Rivers was responsible for the parking lot and infiltration ponds. All other improvements were the responsibility of the Ski Club. During construction, a series of 2+-inch rains resulted in destabilization and slope failure on the top and west side of small ski jump hill. This slope failure created a significant public safety emergency and Three Rivers took immediate corrective action to rebuild and permanently stabilize the failed slope. Without this work, the three smaller jumps would have been lost permanently. They are now stable and safe. Unfortunately, this resulted in project cost overruns, and some components of the original grant were no longer feasible for MSC due to redirected funding. Staff has submitted a second HYSG grant to partially reimburse Three Rivers for the slope failure corrections, as well as to provide additional access enhancements and beautification of the site so that it meets Three Rivers aesthetic standards. The grant request is for $296,173. MSC would provide an in-kind match of $74,300, and Three Rivers would provide a match of $38,454 in funds and another $20,000 of in-kind services. If the grant application is successful, and the Board accepts the grant, Three Rivers funding share would come from savings on other projects. As part of the grant application, a resolution of support is required to be approved by the Board of the submitting Agency (Reference 4A-1). This resolution does not bind the Board to accept the grant.

The LGU is requesting $296,173 from the Hennepin Youth Sports Program and will assume responsibility for providing matching funds of $38,454. II.

PARK AND TRAIL OPERATIONS COMMITTEE REQUEST FOR ACTION Meeting Date: 12/01/16 Business Item New Item Number: 4B Division: Planning, Design & Technology Originating Source: Jonathan Vlaming, Assoc. Supt. Agenda Item: Dakota Rail Regional Trail: MECS Access Permit Request Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO RECOMMEND THAT THE BOARD AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT TO GRANT A TEMPORARY ACCESS PERMIT TO THE METROPOLITAN COUNCIL ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES DIVISION FOR USE OF DAKOTA RAIL REGIONAL TRAIL CORRIDOR. The following information was prepared by Danny McCullough, Regional Trail System Manager. Background: The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services Division (MCES) is requesting a temporary access permit for Dakota Rail Regional Trail between Commerce Boulevard and Westedge Boulevard in the City of Mound. The requested access permit will allow MCES to close the trail from January 1, 2017 through October 31, 2018 to allow for new sanitary sewer pipe installation along the north side of Langdon Lake through the Hennepin County Regional Railroad Authority (HCRRA) corridor. The Park District has been aware of this pending project since the initial construction of Dakota Rail. In fact, MCES suggested we not pave this section of trail until the project is complete. MCES has now secured funding to complete the project. Typically access permits are handled administratively; however, due to the anticipated closure duration it is recommended that the Board have an opportunity to review the project and its impact on the regional trail corridor and, if supported by the Board, authorize the Superintendent to approve the permit request (Reference 4B-1). Staff worked with MCES to ensure the following requirements are included within the MCES project. - Provide a detour route during construction. The route must be designated with signage, maps, safety improvements, and other way finding elements. - Reconstruct Dakota Rail Regional Trail between Commerce Boulevard and Westedge Boulevard at MCES cost. - Correct any damages that might occur to the surrounding HCCRA corridor including replacing removed trees and other vegetation. - Notify the public about the project and trail closure impact.
The affected corridor is owned by HCRRA and with a16 wide corridor centered on the regional trail operated by the Park District via a permit from HCRRA. HCRRA is supportive of this project. In addition, MCES and the City of Mound have agreed on a signed detour route during the closure period. The 1.5-mile detour route will utilize existing local sidewalks and road shoulders (Reference 4B-2). Park District staff will continue to work with representatives of MCES, the City of Mound, and Hennepin County to ensure the planned detour meets regional trail user needs. Relationship to the Vision Plan The Request for Action supports the following element(s) of the Vision Plan: Collaborate across boundaries Relationship to the Policy Statement The Request for Action supports the following element(s) of the Policy Statement: Policy III Role in Intergovernmental Affairs C. Intergovernmental Relations
MCES shall reconstruct the impacted section of trail solely at MCES costs MCES shall provide a safe detour route for Dakota Rail Regional Trail. The detour route shall be designated with way finding signage. A map of the detour route shall be posted on each end of the detour. MCES shall provide information about the project and its impact to the area at any public open houses and on the Metropolitan Council s website MCES shall replace vegetation along the Dakota Rail Regional Trail.
