V. Business Items

Page 4 of 22
The 2023 meeting attendance report was reviewed and the commission was reminded the report would
be updated to reflect member’s attendance at the boards and commissions reception on December 7
and tonight’s meeting. Moved by McMillan and seconded by Fishman to approve the 2023 meeting
attendance report with the additional attendance added to the report for members attending the
boards and commissions reception last week and tonight’s meeting. APIF. Motion carried.
B. Rambling River Park Playground Equipment
Director Omlid provided an overview of the playground equipment being proposed for Rambling River
Park. The playground equipment would be inclusive and contain several play features that would be
new to the park system including the cyclo cone plus climber, glide along, and inclusive whirl. The
surfacing is a poured-in-place (PIP) rubber surface that is ADA approved, slip-resistant, and porous. The
PIP rubber surface comes in four standard colors including blue, tan, green, and terra cotta. The
Commission discussed the color options and decided the PIP surface should be tan with the blue river.
Commission is very excited about the new playground and surfacing and it looks different from our
other parks. Moved by Fishman and seconded by Caron to have the PIP rubber surface be tan with the
blue river and recommend city council to authorize purchase and installation of the playground
equipment for Rambling River Park. APIF. Motion carried.
VI. Discussion Items
A. Review Tobacco-Free Parks Overview
Commissioner Fishman asked the other commissioners if they were swayed to pursue a
tobacco-free parks policy after the Tobacco-Free Parks Overview presented by Dakota County
Public Health and Tobacco-Free Alliance. The commissioners were now interested in pursuing a
tobacco-free parks policy not only due to the presentation, but they didn’t realize vaping was
such an issue in middle school. They mentioned Dakota County Public Health and Tobacco-Free
Alliance will help with signage, which will hopefully deter tobacco use in parks and folks visiting
parks would appreciate the community’s values to keep park goers safe. There was discussion
about if there would be situations, we wouldn’t want to have tobacco-free parks and would it be
just for parks. Director Omlid let the commission know this would be decided by the
commission when developing the policy at future meetings. Development of a tobacco-free
parks policy will be added to the 2024 Work Plan.
B. Rambling River Center Facility Master Plan
Director Omlid provided an overview of the draft concept for the Rambling River Center.
Suggestions included adding an adult changing table in one of the new restrooms, adding glass
windows in the train room looking at the patio for more natural light, and ensuring the facility is
accessible. The consensus from the commission is the plan looks great. Comments and
recommendations from the Rambling River Center Advisory Board, parks and recreation
commission, and staff will be sent to JLG Architects. JLG will then make the updates and work
on cost estimates with the facility master plan to be presented to city council on Tuesday,
January 16, 2024 at 7 p.m.
Page 5 of 22
C. 2024 Work Plan Ideas and Draft Plan
Director Omlid reviewed the 2024 Work Plan draft. Development of a tobacco-free parks policy
will be added as a goal. Director Omlid suggested for Goal #6 Participate in the process of
identifying and making improvements at Depot Way Arts Park to push that to later in the year
and carry into 2025, so can have an open house with residents of the Emery Apartments to
understand what they would like in the park. Commission thought should have at least
brainstormed potential improvements, ideas, partners, etc. Director Omlid will update the draft
plan to be approved at the January 10, 2024 meeting.
D. Review 2023 Work Plan Progress
Chair Putt reviewed the progress of the goals and objectives of the 2023 work plan.

building maintenance, and fleet replacement.
C. Outdoor Rinks and Warming Houses
Staff were trained last evening. The outdoor rinks and warming houses were scheduled to open
Friday (December 15), but haven’t started flooding due to warmer temperatures. Hopefully, will
be able to start flooding after the holidays. Weather permitting, the outdoor rinks and warming
houses will be open through February 19.
D. Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) No Child Left Inside Grant
Staff collaborated with Dakota County to write a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources

the Vermillion River
Meeting: Parks and Recreation Commission - Jan 10 2024
INTRODUCTION:
The parks and recreation commission’s work plan for 2024 includes a goal to “Build and strengthen

In addition to the work plan goal to build and strengthen the relationship with the DNR, during the
Rambling River Park master planning process it came up several times during public outreach and
engagement the Vermillion River in Farmington isn’t celebrated and promoted as a central feature
of the park. It is often hidden from view. Recommendations included enhanced Vermillion River
access with fishing stones/boulders and overlooks at key locations. Vermillion River enhancements
ranked as the sixth highest priority for implementation on the survey conducted during Phase 2
engagement.
Commission members are asked to listen to the presentation and ask any questions they have.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA MEMO
To: Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Kellee Omlid, Parks & Recreation Director
Department: Parks & Recreation
Subject: Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Outdoor Recreation Grant
Program
Meeting: Parks and Recreation Commission - Jan 10 2024
INTRODUCTION:
In early December, staff received an email from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) announcing grant funding opportunities for park and trail projects across Minnesota.
Applications are now being accepted for grant programs including outdoor recreation, natural and
scenic area, regional trail, local trail connections, and federal recreational trails. These grants help
local governments in the state create partnerships with the DNR to fund projects ranging from local
parks to regional trails to trail connections.
Staff has mentioned the DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant previously and it was identified as a
funding option and source in the approved Rambling River Park Master Plan. The purpose of the
Outdoor Recreation Grant is “To increase and enhance recreation facilities in local and community
parks throughout the state.”. The Outdoor Recreation Grant program provides matching grants to
local and/or development acquisition, of cost the of to up for government of units 50%
redevelopment of local parks and recreation areas. The maximum grant awards is $350,000 for a
total project of $700,000. The program requires a one-to-one match which can consist of cash,
value of materials, labor and equipment usage by the local sponsor, donations, or any combination
thereof.
Project proposals must include one or more major recreation facilities as outlined by the MN DNR.
A permanent skatepark is one of the eligible recreation facilities. Support facilities are also eligible
for funding as part of a grant application that contains at least one facility from the eligible
recreation facilities identified by the DNR. Support facilities include, but not limited to, landscaping,
lighting, park furnishings such as benches, drinking fountains, picnic tables, and trash receptacles,
and walkways or accessible routes that connect facilities to one another.
Two important grant requirements of this program are (1) all parks or recreational areas that receive
funds under this program must be operated and maintained for public outdoor recreation purposes
into perpetuity, even if facility type changes in the future and (2) the land the facility is to be
constructed on must be owned by the city, county, or township or will be acquired with the grant
application.
During the Rambling River Park master planning process, stakeholder engagement showed a
strong desire for a skatepark in the community to serve teens who are currently going to other
Page 14 of 22
communities for skating, scootering, and biking. The city council approved master plan for the park
included building a skatepark at Feely Fields as a short-term park improvement. Also included in
the approved master plan is support facilities of new tree plantings, new shade structure, and new
park trails from the parking lot to the skatepark and shade structure.
Over the last several years, the parks and recreation commission’s priority besides new playground
equipment at Rambling River Park is adding a skatepark to the park system. At the December 13,
2023 parks and recreation commission meeting, the commission approved a recommendation to
city council to authorize purchase and installation of new playground equipment for Rambling River
Park. City council at its December 18, 2023 meeting, approved the purchase and installation of the
playground equipment. Thus, staff ordered the playground equipment, poured-in-place rubber
surfacing, and installation the following day.
Staff’s recommendation is to apply for the MN DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant with the major
recreation facility being the skatepark to be constructed at Feely Fields within Rambling River Park.
Support facilities to be included in the grant application are landscaping, shade structure, trail from
the parking lot to the skatepark and shade structure, and park furnishings (i.e. benches, picnic
tables, trash and recycling receptacles).
The commission is being asked is to ask any questions they have about the grant, staff’s
recommendation, and have a discussion if the skatepark is still their priority and if it should be the
major recreation facility included in the city’s grant application. Following the discussion, the
commission by motion should make a recommendation to city council to authorize the city’s grant
application for the MN DNR Outdoor Recreation Grant and matching funds of $350,000.

Department: Parks & Recreation
Subject: Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for Trails
Meeting: Parks and Recreation Commission - Jan 10 2024
INTRODUCTION:
City council, at its December 19, 2022 meeting, approved a proposal from GoodPointe Technology
to complete a detailed Pavement Condition Index (PCI) on roadway and trail pavements within the
city. Bituminous pavement conditions can be quantified using a PCI. Last spring / summer,
Goodpointe Technology rated the condition of bituminous pavement throughout the city. Attached
is the draft map of the trail pavement conditions completed by GoodPointe Technology.
A PCI pertains only to the pavement condition and is a value based on a scale of 0-100 (100 is new
trail). The ratings are based on visual distresses (i.e. cracks, patches, and ruts) and the conditions
are observed at a specific point in time. Not every patch or crack is counted, but condition
observations are aggregated by the trail segment.
When rating the pavement conditions, each segment of trail is assigned a numerical value from 0 to
100 with 0 pavement being in extremely poor condition and 100 representing new trail. The
attached map identifies the trails in the worst condition in red, orange, and light pink and trails in the
best condition and/or new trails in dark green. The Feature Count is the number of trail segments
that fall in that rating group.
Parks and recreation staff reviewed the draft map for missing segments, consistency, and the
condition ratings compared to how the trail represents in the field. To maintain current and relevant
data, the trail pavement conditions will be rerated every two years. New trail segments will be
added to the data and map during the rerating process.
The PCI data is only one piece of information when determining priorities for preventative
maintenance and replacement of trail segments. There are several other considerations when
planning bituminous trail work including, but not limited to, safety, edge conditions, drainage, high
traffic trails, and combine with street projects.
At the meeting, staff will review the draft map, what trail conditions were found in the field, and how
the data will be incorporated into financial planning, maintenance programming, and the Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) for Trail Improvements.
Commission members are asked to listen to the presentation and ask any questions they have.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA MEMO
To: Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Kellee Omlid, Parks & Recreation Director
Department: Parks & Recreation
Subject: Chair and Vice-Chair Elections During February Meeting
Meeting: Parks and Recreation Commission - Jan 10 2024
INTRODUCTION:
According to the commission’s bylaws and city ordinance, the commission is to elect a chair and
vice-chair from its members. The election occurs in February due to the possible appointment and
seating of new members at this meeting.
The purpose of this item is to have a brief discussion to gauge the interest commission members
have about serving in the chair or vice-chair position for the next year. This makes the February
election go quicker and smoother.
Commission members should come to the meeting ready to share if they have an interest in serving
in either the chair or vice-chair position for the next year.
