the best pricing. Assistant Director Faus went through the timeline of the project noting the

Commissioners Nelson and McCormick.
Chair Good also noted that Fred Richards was on their initial recommendation; however, City Council
moved it to the parking lot.
Chair Good asked the commissioners that the first time each group meets to appoint a chair or
someone who is going to lead the initiatives so there is a contact person for updates. He also asked
the commissioners to think about completion dates for the initiatives.
E. 2019 Parks & Recreation Commission Theme
Chair Good reminded the commission at their August meeting it was suggested that they think about
possibly having a theme for the year.
After much discussion it was decided to not have a theme for 2019.
VII. Chair and Member Comments
• Chair Good indicated at last month’s meeting under Community Comment Carolyn Johnson,
Chair of the Energy & Environment Commission pushed them to really think about giving
more attention to greenhouse gas and sustainability at the front end of projects. He noted it
clearly gathered some interest and energy in their discussion that he thinks they should be
adding that as a future meeting agenda item.
• Chair Good gave an update on the Comprehensive Plan. He added he was somewhat
disappointed they were not given the opportunity to review and make final edits or
improvements on it. It went straight to the Planning Commission and was considered
submitted.
• Chair Good informed the commission that the Parks & Recreation Commission meeting on
Jan. 8, 2019 will be held at Edinborough Park at 7 p.m.

John Philip Sousa Memorial Band
Information / Background:
The John Philip Sousa Memorial Band (JPSMB) was formed in 1970 by a group of graduating Edina Minnesota
High School band members with the purchase of 50 used band uniforms and $30 worth of marches. The 45
band members come from throughout the Twin Cities area and rehearse once a week. They perform a
different one-hour, free performance on the last Sunday of the month September through May at their
home venue, the Edinborough Park Indoor Amphitheatre. The Band also provides three summer concerts at
Centennial Lakes. Ten concerts are performed throughout the Twin Cities during the summer.
The Band was brought into the sponsorship of the City of Edina Parks & Recreation Department in 1973
and has enjoyed their support up to the present time. The Band would like the current practice to
continue.
Current Practice:
The current practice includes the following:
• Centennial Lakes provides the Band with a 1000 square foot practice room inside of the
maintenance garage.
• In this same garage, the Band also stores instruments, sheet music and general supplies. (Prior to
this, the City paid approximately $600/month in rent for storage space).
• The Band provides Centennial Lakes with three concerts per summer and nine concerts at
Edinborough Park free of charge. The Band performs for venues outside of Edina for a charge of
$500 per performance.
• The City has been allowing the Band to use a city vehicle for transporting their equipment to and
from shows within and outside of Edina. This happens about ten times a year. The City covers the
cost of fuel, maintenance, & repair. At first, the Band used a public works vehicle, which became
unrepairable. Most recently, the Band has been using the liquor store vehicle, which is ending its
useful life, and not expected to be replaced.
Although the City of Edina currently has several relationships with community non-profit organizations that
are defined by formal written agreements outlining the parties’ responsibilities, no such documented
STAFF REPORT Page 2
agreement has been developed to define the relationship between the city and the JPSMB. At the Dec. 27
2018 meeting, the Arts & Culture Commission was asked to review and comment on their recommended
status of the Band in order to help clarify its relationship to the City of Edina.
The relationship between the City and the Band is unique and does not resemble current standings the City
has with external groups. Relationships with the City can typically be defined into three groups.
1. Customer – a customer relationship exists where the City provides the group with services or use
of City resources in exchange for payment or as allowed by City policies and operating procedures.
2. Service Provider – a service provider relationship exists where an outside group provides the City
with services in exchange for payment (monetary or in-kind) from the City.
3. Program of the City – in this instance the program is a City function, which is operated by City staff
and volunteers.
Commissioner Comments:
Steve Suckow
Service provider. Refer to City Attorney and the City’s Risk Manager. Establish criteria for other groups
who might want the same status.
Heather Isaacs
Service provider
Marnie Pardo
Service provider
Hannah Klein
Service provider. The Band should have the same standing as any other non-profit organization.
Anne Miller
Service provider
Douglas Hegley
Service provider. Develop a contract/MOU with timeframe for renewal or automatic renewal if both
parties agree.
Susan Chandler
Service provider. Do any members live in Edina? Should that be part of the criteria set for this status?
Shreya Konkimalla
Service provider. Consider the Band having the same standing as any other non-profit organization.
Russ Rubin
STAFF REPORT Page 3
Service provider. Relationship with Edina (i.e. residence) a must. MOU must protect the City of Edina
(liability). Status must be open to other organizations (fairness).
**Note: All Commissioners felt that a documented agreement (MOU) was necessary.
This initiative was on the 2018 Parks & Recreation Commission work plan. The Council Charge is to
Review and Recommend. The Parks & Recreation Commission is being asked to make recommendations to
the Council to more clearly define the formal relationship between the City and the John Philip Sousa
Memorial Band.
