A. Public Comments
There were no public comments shared at the meeting.
V. Business Items
A. Dakota Meadows Residential Development Trail
Director Omlid provided an overview of the new Dakota Meadows residential development and
the proposed trail along the northern boundary of the site extending from Denmark Avenue to
Ash Street (220th Street W.). This trail to Ash Street is critical to get to Westview Acres Park as
the city will be taking cash-in-lieu of park land dedication in this development. The developer
and home builder proposed a 7-8 foot sidewalk on the north side of Street A which would go
north on Street C and then a trail from that point to Ash Street (220th Street W.). The reason
for this is the back of the houses are 21-22.5 feet off the trail. Staff’s recommendation is to
approve the trail along the northern boundary of the site from Denmark Avenue to Ash Street
(220th St. W.) and forward to the planning commission.
Anderson and Bona explained the reasons for proposing a larger sidewalk in front of the homes
and no trail in the back. Reasons included lack of privacy, planting of trees to buffer the homes,
and geometry of site is tough.
The commission, staff, and guests discussed other options and asked and answered questions.
The commission preferred the trail didn’t go behind homes 1-21 and a good compromise to
start the trail behind home number 22 up to Ash Street (220th St. W). There would still be trail
loops in the development and a trail to Ash Street to get to Westview Acres Park.
Page 4 of 47
Moved by Caron and seconded by Merricks for the developer to install an 8’ bituminous trail
between lots 21 and 22 (pending City Engineer approval) on the preliminary plat and continue
this trail along the northern boundary to Ash Street (220th St. W.); a standard city sidewalk will
be installed on the north side of Street A to Street C on the west side running north to the trail;
eliminate the sidewalk on the south side of Street A and recommend planning commission to
approve. APIF. Motion carried.
VI. Discussion Items
A. Community Outreach and Engagement
The commission discussed community outreach and engagement at Music in the Park and Movies in the
Park. Music in the Park would be more adult engagement while Movies in the Park would be families
including youth. The commission decided to organize a plan for community outreach and engagement
this year and then implement it next year. However, they decided to participate in National Night Out
on Tuesday, August 5, 2025.
B. Dakota County’s Draft 2050 Vision Plan for Parks, Greenways, and Natural Systems
The commission discussed Dakota County’s draft 2050 Vision Plan for Parks, Greenways, and Natural
Systems and thought it was a well drafted plan. They mentioned they are grateful to have a County that
maintains a beautiful park and trail system, that the field of vision included Farmington and highlights
the commitment to residents and look forward to working with them. Director Omlid will pass the
comments on to Dakota County staff and also appreciate the inclusion of a Farmington – Lakeville
Greenway loop and Jim Bell Park and Preserve recommended as a partnership candidate site or North
Creek Greenway Trailhead to further explore.
C. 2025 Work Plan Progress
Vice-chair McMillen reviewed the progress of the goals and objectives for the 2025 Work Plan.
VII. Commission Roundtable

Subject: Purchase of Playground Equipment for Westview Acres Park
Meeting: Parks and Recreation Commission - Jun 11 2025
INTRODUCTION:
Staff reached out to four different vendors to submit playground equipment proposals for Westview
Acres Park.
Included in the meeting packet are playground proposals from four different companies. Vendors
were asked to submit playground designs with an obstacle / ninja course theme and swings (2 belt,
1 bucket seat, and 1 accessible seat). Please note only the 5–12-year-old structure and swings are
being replaced. The 2–5-year-old structure was replaced in 2007. Vendors could submit two
proposals and were asked to keep the cost for the purchase of the equipment, rubber swing mats,
freight, and installation of the playground equipment to approximately $60,000.
The parks and recreation commission’s work plan for 2025 includes a goal to “Participate in
Community Outreach and Engagement”. Thus, it was decided to engage students in selecting the
new playground equipment for Westview Acres Park. Director Omlid attended the Riverview
Elementary School Learner’s Showcase on May 22 to have the students vote on their two preferred
playgrounds. Commissioner Caron, Vice Chair McMillen, and Director Omlid visited with students
at Boeckman Middle School (BMS) on May 28. BMS students also voted on their two preferred
playgrounds. Students at both schools were given two stickers to place on their preferred
playground plan(s). The results of the voting is included in the packet.
Commission members should review the Westview Acres Park playground plans and student voting
results. The commission is being asked to finalize the playground equipment selection and make a
recommendation to city council to authorize purchase and installation of the play equipment.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION AGENDA MEMO
To: Parks and Recreation Commission
From: Kellee Omlid, Parks & Recreation Director
Department: Parks & Recreation
Subject: 2026 – 2030 Park Improvement Fund CIP
Meeting: Parks and Recreation Commission - Jun 11 2025
INTRODUCTION:
One of the goals commission has in its 2025 work plan is to recommend to the city council a five-
year (2026-2030) Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the Park Improvement Fund.
Included in the packet is draft 2026-2030 Park Improvement Fund CIP projects. The five-year CIP
is annually included in the approved final budget. The CIP expenses and revenues are estimated
numbers based on project costs based on recommended park improvements and identified
revenue sources over the next five years. The identified annual revenue sources and amounts are
Liquor Store Transfers and Farm Leases of $216,500 and $8,095 respectively.
The draft 2026-2030 CIP shows the city parks that should receive improvements over the next five
years. As discussed previously, identifying a long-term funding source for replacements and new
investments is critical. The unrestricted balance of the Park Improvement Fund at 12/31/24 was
approximately $1,200,000. Unrestricted funds are monies in the Park Improvement Fund that are
not attached to any specific park or improvement.
Beginning in 2023, the city was to start the next round of reviewing parks for redevelopment based
on a 20-year replacement schedule. Meadowview Park was the first as improvements were last
made in 2003. Staff’s initial plan was to move the castle playground at Rambling River Park to
Meadowview Park when the new play equipment was purchased and installed at Rambling River
Park. However, after a thorough inspection the playground at Meadowview Park is in better
condition and still has time before it needs to be replaced. The 5–12-year-old playground
equipment in Prairie View Park was installed in 1999 and is in condition it is scheduled to be
replaced in 2026. All the playgrounds included in the 2026-2030 CIP should be replaced based on
the 20-year replacement schedule. Staff pushed replacement of playground equipment by one or
two years to try spread the expenditures out. Staff conduct monthly playground safety inspections,
so playgrounds could be replaced sooner based on the results of inspections and/or replacement
parts not being available. A discussion should occur to better understand commission’s thoughts
on the strategy of reviewing parks for redevelopment based on a 20-year replacement schedule.
Another goal in the commission's 2024 and 2025 work plans is to participate in the process of
identifying and making improvements at Depot Way Arts Park. Thus, funds were identified in 2025
but proposed to shift the money to 2026 to construct the improvements. This is due to waiting until
The Emery has a higher occupancy rate before holding an open house to seek resident feedback
Page 19 of 47
on improvements to the park.
Vermillion Commons is a townhome development located at the intersection of 220th St. W. and
Denmark Avenue; directly west of Boeckman Middle School. Construction of the townhomes has
started, but the parkland wasn’t dedicated to the city until late 2024. The total park dedication
required for this development is 6.83 acres. The park dedication will be satisfied through a
combination of land and cash in lieu. Development of a park master plan is included in the CIP in
2026.
The Commission should review the draft CIP prior to the meeting. Then during the meeting there
should be discussion about any revisions the commission feels should be made to the plan. Once
the commission is comfortable with the plan, it should approve the recommended plan so it can be
included in the park and recreation’s 2026 requested budget.

Description
Daisy Knoll Park is a neighborhood park located at 18640 Esquire Way. This 27.7 acre park includes playground equipment, shelter, half-court basketball, and
ballfield.
Justification
The playground equipment was installed in 2007 making it 20 years old. Twenty years is the estimated life cycle of playground equipment. As the basketball court
is only half a court and within an area of three overlapping service areas with full size courts, this court should be considered for removal. The park sign was
replaced in 2024.
Parks Maintenance staff performs playground safety inspections on all equipment. If the playground equipment isn't replaced, this could lead to safety risks,
service disruptions, and potential increased costs.

Justification
The playground equipment was installed in 2006 making it 20 years old. Twenty years is the estimated life cycle of playground equipment. The city rebranded the

maintain the bitumious surface. The parking lot needs to be reconstructed. This park has been identified as a priority due to it being at the southern entrance to
the city. It has a large shelter for gathering and if given funding to complete the master plan, can once again be one of the city's premier parks with water play
and permanent restrooms.

maintain the bituminous surface.
Parks Maintenance staff performs playground safety inspections on all equipment. If the playground equipment isn't replaced, this could lead to safety risks,

Description
Rambling River Park is a community park which includes four projects that act as the "Gateway" to the downtown core of the city. The park is both sides of the
Vermillion River stretching from Riverview Elementary School in the north to the Schmitz-Maki Arena to the south. The actual park with amenities is just south of
Dodge Middle School and north of Elm Street. Feely Fields is the area of Rambling River Park just north of the Schmitz-Maki Arena and Kuchera's entrance is near
the east end of the park at the corner of 4th Street and Willow Street. Rambling River Park totals approximately 100 acres of park and open space area.
Justification
Rambling River Park is the most heavily used park in the city and a main destination for both residents and visitors. The park hasn't had major investments until
the spring and summer of 2024 when a new accessible playground with poured-in-place rubber surfacing was installed. Based on the development of an updated
master plan for Rambling River Park, improvements should be made accordingly.
