Review and Discuss Final Refinements May 17, 2016: Submit Final Report Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2016 Park Board Ann Kattreh Parks & Recreation Director Parks, Recreation and Trails Strategic Plan Information / Background: On Sept. 2, 2014 the City Council approved a consulting services agreement with a consulting team led by Minneapolis based Confluence. Confluence provides landscape architecture, urban design and planning services with offices in Minneapolis, Des Moines, Kansas City, Sioux Falls and Iowa City. Other Confluence group team members working on this project have been Pros Consulting (Indianapolis), 292 Design (Minneapolis), Dreambox (Minneapolis) and Barr Engineering (Minneapolis). The Park Board led the strategic plan consultant section process in the fall of 2014. The Park Board has been working on the Park, Recreation and Trails Strategic Plan since October 2014. The process started with a Needs Assessment Study by the ETC Institute in September 2014 and a GIS inventory of the park system by Geographic Technologies Group (GTG). The GIS inventory and related mapping was completed in November 2014. Confluence and Pros Consulting led us through the following phases: Phase 1 - Review – Analysis and Inventory – Oct. 9 – Nov. 30, 2014 Phase 2 – Public Involvement (staff, stakeholder and focus group meetings and a public workshop) – December 2014 Phase 3 – Programs and Services Analysis – Dec. 15, 2014 – Feb. 10, 2015 Phase 4 – Prioritization of Demands and Needs – Feb. 12 – April 9, 2015 Phase 5 – Presentation of Findings and Deliverables – April 15 – June 15, 2015 Phase 6 - Final Plan Adoption June 9, 2015 – Park Board STAFF REPORT Page 2 June 17, 2015 – City Council Work Session Oct. 20, 2015 – City Council Work Session Dec. 15, 2015 – Final City Council Adoption The Park Board received updates and opportunities for input at the November and December 2014 Park Board meetings and the February, March, April and May 2015 Park Board meetings. Park Board members Ellen Jones, Keeya Steel, Louis Segreto and Cathy Cella also participated in many early morning Strategic Planning Committee meetings, especially in the first several months of the process. The City Council received updates and opportunities to provide input in December 2014, March, May, June and October 2015. The City of Edina has a project page on the website providing updates and information regarding the strategic planning process, including drafts of the plan as it has evolved. City staff has had ample opportunities to review and provide feedback on the plan. After over 15 months of work, we reached the final adoption stage of the planning process. The Parks, Recreation and Trails Strategic Plan was adopted by the City Council at their Dec. 15, 2015 City Council meeting. A full electronic version of the Parks, Recreation and Trails Strategic Plan is available for download on the city’s website at: http://edinamn.gov/index.php?section=parks-strategic-plan. There are three sections of the Strategic Plan to download: Part 1 – Strategic Plan; Part 2 – Community Needs Assessment; Part 3 – Appendices. The following changes were made by Confluence as suggested by the Park Board and City Council: Park Board meeting on June 9, 2015: • Made all of recommended changes from meeting – particularly concerning language in Guiding Principles. Following City Council Meeting on June 17, 2015: • Reorganized the document to create more of an “Executive Summary” based on City Council’s request. Turned the document into these three documents that can stand alone and work together: 1. Strategic Plan – Focus more on the plan with only an overview of critical background research used to make decisions. This created an Executive Summary that could be posted on-line or distributed separately. 2. Community Needs Assessment – This section provides more of the background research, stakeholder input, demographics, trends, benchmarking, etc. This section is more in-depth for interested citizens and staff. 3. Appendices – Similar to original appendices. This section is most useful to staff. • The City Council requested that there not be a reference to a “recreation” facility in any recommendation. The City Council proposed using the wording “Community Facility”. Some council members thought that it was too much of a stretch to explore “building a recreation/community center” from the research and input received to date. STAFF REPORT Page 3 1. Confluence removed “recreation” from the recommendations regarding a potential new community facility. It is still in the document if brought up by others in polling/surveys/input. 2. Removed “recreation center” from goals and strategies. • Council members did like the idea of flexible spaces and programming at a community facility but not traditional “brick and mortar” fitness facilities. Following City Council work session on Oct. 20, 2015: • Typographical updates. • Added more imagery of other types of activities beyond youth athletics including seniors, performances, community gatherings, etc. • Include recent projects with images, specifically Veterans Memorial and Pamela Park. A final, bound copy of the Parks, Recreation and Trails Strategic Plan will be given to the Park Board at the Jan. 12, 2016 meeting.

See attached. http://edina.novusagenda.com/agendapublic/CoverSheet.aspx?ItemID=629&MeetingID=48 • Approved consulting contract with HGA, Pros Consulting and George Sutton & Associates to conduct the Grandview Facility Operational and Feasibility Study. Dec. 1, 2015 • Approved the 2016 calendar of meetings for the City Council and Boards and Commissions. The council canceled it first regularly scheduled meeting in July. The council will have only one regular meeting in July. • Approved new park and recreations fees for 2016. • Approved dates for the 2016 Board and Commission applicant interview process. • Approved a cooperative agreement with the Nine Mile Creek Watershed District for the streambank stabilization project through a portion of the creek corridor. The project is meant to compliment the Nine Mile Creek regional trail project. Dec. 15, 2015 • Approved the 2016 work plans for the Boards and Commissions. • Set April 20 as the date for the 2016 Annual Volunteer Recognition Reception. • Set Feb. 29 as the date for its annual meeting with Boards and Commissions. • Awarded a contract for roof repairs at Edinborough Park. • Approved the purchase of a new surveillance system Braemar Golf Course. • Accepted a restricted donation from Aquajets Swim Club for the Edina Aquatic Center. • Approved the purchase of a new main pool filter replacement at Aquatic Center. • Adopted the new Parks, Recreation and Trails Strategic Plan. • The most important thing on the council agenda was their vote to adopt the proposed budget and tax levy for 2016. Staff and council members expend an enormous amount of time and energy on preparing the annual budget and tax levy. The proposal approved last night by the council, on a vote of 3-2, was the budget and tax levy that I have recommended to the council since September. The approved budget increases the city’s 2016 tax levy by 7.07 percent and our 2016 property tax revenues by just over $2 million dollars. Of the 7.07 percent increase, 3.4 percent ($998,604) is for wage and benefit changes for employees; 2.2 percent ($665,100) replaces revenue in the General Fund that formerly transferred into the General Fund from Liquor Store profits; and 1.5 percent ($455,409) is for general operating cost increases. While the council’s vote on the budget and levy may have been divided, the council’s discussion on the matter was civil and professional. Council members expressed their support for the work of city staff before, during and after the vote. They understand and appreciate the value that our services bring to the residents of Edina.
