TITLE OF ISSUE:
Music in the Park 2020
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
The committee should discuss the viability or logistics of the Music in the Park program for 2020 in light of the
COVID-19 issue.
Music in the Park was scheduled for Tuesdays, June 9 through July 28. It appears that the Governor's orders
only allow drive-in events (starting June 1). Phase II of the Governor's plan seems
to indicate that there will be an opportunity for events like this. However, there is no timeline for Phase II.
It is staff's recommendation that we simply await an announcement of Phase II re-openings and try to schedule
acts at that time.
COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING:
TBD
REQUESTED ACTION:
Motion to plan a drive-in style Music in the Park event.
Motion to postpone Music in the Park until such time as the Governor's Orders allow such events.
or
Motion to cancel Music in the Park for 2020.

V.3
TITLE OF ISSUE:
Centennial Little League Use of LaMotte Park Fields
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
It appears that the Governor's Orders will allow Organized Youth Sports to resume practices, but not games
during Phase II (beginning June 1). Centennial Little League has submitted their COVID-19 Operations Plan
and is requesting use of the LaMotte Park Fields. Because of the limitations of social distancing, there will be
an increased need for fields, to keep practice groups small and spread out. Staff is recommending approval of
their request, with the understanding that they will submit a full schedule of practices, once they become
available. Additionally, we will ask that the league submit a new COVID-19 Operations Plan once game play
is allowed. If there are observed problems with adherence to their COVID plan, the city would reserve the right
to revoke their privileges.
COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING:
N/A
REQUESTED ACTION:
Motion to approve the request of the Centennial Little League for use of the LaMotte Park ballfields for
practices, under COVID-19 restrictions.

TITLE OF ISSUE:
Bald Eagle Waterski Show
BACKGROUND AND SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION:
The Bald Eagle Waterski show is requesting use of the city's Trailside Park for conducting practices, under
COVID-19 restrictions. Normally, we do ask them to submit a formal request for the use of our park, because
there is an existing agreement in place, allowing such use. However, given the unusual circumstances, we felt
that this issue should be brought before the committee. Staff's recommendation is to allow the use of the park,
requiring the group to adhere to their COVID-19 Operations Plan.
COST AND SOURCE(S) OF FUNDING:

REQUESTED ACTION:
Motion to approve the request of the Bald Eagle Waterski Club, requiring adherence to their COVID-19
Operations Plan.

(SHIP)

a timing system associated with the run with Mr. Pat Branch taking part in discussions. He

6. Sledding Hill Light
a. Approval of Bid Costs
Administrator Statz stated that the City has been successful in obtaining a grant associated with its
irrigation system in Laurie LaMotte Park. He stated that funds have been secured through
Metropolitan Council with an additional submission for grant funding from the Rice Creek
Watershed District (RCWD). He explained that the City is one of the first to complete such a
project in 2011 and was recognized for the project of utilizing stormwater run off for irrigation of
areas of the park. He stated that this reuse system provided the City with credits which would
offset required raingardens and construction of storm water ponds associated with road projects
and the downtown project. He also stated that if these requirements were placed on the City, they
would either have to fund the purchase of storm water credits or comply with requirements for
construction of these items which could require the use of existing City owned property or
purchasing property from private parties.
He reported that with the Downtown road project it was felt that an expansion of the system would
be instrumental for continued credits being generated. He stated that a bid has been obtained to
install three (3) additional watering guns which would allow for additional watering in Laurie
LaMotte Park, watering in Hidden Spring Park and watering of two (2) privately owned parcels
near the area (St. Paul Water Department and
Committee that private agreements would be secured for the two (2) individual property owners
prior to installation of city infrastructure.
City Administrator Statz stated that with this bid, staff included the suggested additional lighting
that the Committee desired within the park. He reported that the bid included the installation of
Page 3 of 6
City of Centerville
Park & Recreation Committee
April 1, 2020
the recently donated light for the sledding hill with additional wiring of areas near the skate park
and along the trail being future goals of the Committee. He reported that the bid was for $7,110
for the services and felt that this was a viable bid from a responsible contractor.
Discussion ensued regarding funding, Park Dedication Fees, Capital Equipment Funds, etc. City
Administrator Statz stated that the funding would come from the Capital Equipment Funds.
Several Committee Members had questions or comments: when work would be commenced, was
the bid lower due to additional work on site, previous quote received for same work of $15,000,
etc.
Motion by Chair Waeghe, seconded by Committee Member Errickson-Grahek to
Recommend to Council to Authorize the Electrical Services/Installation at Laurie LaMotte
Park Contained in the Bid Associated with the Irrigation Project.
All in favor. Motion carried.
VI. NEW COMMITTEE BUSINESS
1. Port-a-Pots
Administrator Statz reported that the City has received several request for these to be placed in the
parks. He stated that upon discussions with Staff that it has been determined that proper sanitation
cannot be achieved by the vendor which services the facilities once a week to properly protect the
public from the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Consensus of the Committee was that they concurre
aff and the Committee would review the item again for possible
placement. It was also felt that many activities (organized soccer and baseball/softball) were also
ceased so the usage would be minimal at this time.
2. Vandalism of Laurie LaMotte Drinking Fountain
Administrator Statz stated that the drinking fountain in the park has been vandalized/broken two
(2) or three (3) times in the last several years and suggested that the Committee consider
alternatives to the existing fountain. He suggested either removing it or providing something that
was more durable such as a metal ground mounted fountain. He also reported that an individual
was found guilty of vandalizing play equipment who is now completing community service
through the City.
Committee Member Seeley had concern for the indoor drinking fountain located within the
warming house. She stated that it is badly stained and unappealing to drink water from.
The Committee discussed switching of the two fountains and replacement. City Administrator
Statz stated that this funding would also be from the Capital Equipment Funds. The Committee
requested that quotes/proposals be provided at their May meeting.
3. Zoom Conference Meeting Format

Park & Recreation Committee
April 1, 2020

social distancing guidelines. One member of the committee was experiencing audio issues but it
was felt that these could be overcome with the use of headphones or with the use of a cellphone
for the audio part of the meeting.
Committee Member Seeley stated that she had spoken with Minute Taker, Ms. Linda Neudecker
who was unable to attend this evenings meeting. She stated that Ms. Neudecker apologize for her
absence and offered to transcribe the minutes for the Committee.

continually utilized for meetings, discussed the usage of Zoom and its capabilities, discussed the
streaming of the meeting on cable TV and North Metro Cables ability to house the meeting on
their web site for later retrieval by the public.

other guidance put out by the Governor and other state and
federal agencies with guidance on COVID-19 related
issues. The most recent phase of the stat

most recent directives, we will also be
continuing to have staff work from home, as noted, even for Critical Sector employees,
those who can, must telework.
Public Works
Our public works crews will be transitioning from a 2-on-2-off rotation to a new model
which will have some work-from-home components as well as other social distancing
measures. We feel this new model can still ensure that there are always 2 healthy public
works staff members, while shifting to a more sustainable work schedule that allows all
four of our staff to be fully engaged in work activities 40 hours per week.
Parks
recent COVID-related Executive Orders (see
below) staff has recommended a June 1 opening of playgrounds and deployment of our normal set of
porta potties. We cannot afford to have them all serviced more regularly than normal, so we will have
the same service schedule as before.
8. Outdoor recreational activities and associated facilities. Notwithstanding paragraph 7.c, the below
facilities are permitted to be open and do business, provided that they adhere to paragraph 6 of this
(https://mn.gov/deed/guidance). This permission does not extend to facilities and activities that
involve prohibited gatherings of individuals in groups of more than 10 or in close proximity. Indoor
facilities associated with outdoor recreational facilities covered by paragraph 7.c of this Executive
Order must comply with paragraphs 7.c and 7.e of this Executive Order, as applicable. I encourage
public outdoor recreational facilities to be open for families and children, and direct all individuals
utilizing such facilities to follow the Outdoor Recreation Guidelines. All outdoor recreational
activities and facilities must comply with Minnesota law, including but not limited to license and
permit requirements, invasive species regulations, and park rules.

PARKS AND RECREATION
Fete des Lacs
The Fete des Lacs Committee made the difficult decision at their meeting on May 6, to cancel
Fete des Lacs, 2020. The strong conviction of the committee, however, was that there would
s festival be one to remember.
Thursday Waterski Shows and Street Market
The Parks and Rec Committee previously voted to discontinue planning of this event for
2020. Even though some farmers markets are continuing with social distancing guidelines
in place, it seemed wise not to try to kick off a new event with such cumbersome
restrictions. With much of the groundwork laid, the committee feels that it will be
something that they can jump into next year with a good head start.
Staff is working with County staff to push our grant funding for this event to 2021.
The Bald Eagle Waterski Show has developed a plan to resume practice in the near future.
A copy of their COVID-19 Operations Plan is included in this packet for further review and
approval.
Music in the Park
At the last meeting, the Parks and Recreation Committee decided to continue planning for a
Music in the Park season, with a few sensible social distancing rules in effect. This event
be worthwhile. Additionally, staff has communicated to event organizers Tom Lee and Brian
Peterson, that a push back of the start of the season by two weeks, to mid-June would be
necessary, at a minimum. It appears, that we
Safe MN plan is implemented. There is no current schedule for when that will occur.
On this Committee Meeting Agenda is a discussion of the viability of the MITP series
through the COVID-19 pandemic.
Staff has requested refunds for our annual licensure through ASCAP and SESAC in the event
that Music in the Park is cancelled.
Street Light Donation
Parking lot lighting will be discussed in conjunction with the City Hall renovation project.
The outdoor drinking fountain was repaired using new parts.
The interior fountain was able to be cleaned and is again fit
for use by the public (see pic).
Graffiti
Our parks had suffered
some grafitti damage over
the past few months, but

Subsequently, the offender
