MEMO
TO: Parks and Recreation Committee Members
FROM: Kim Stephan
SUBJECT: Updates
DATE: June 27, 2008
Tracie McBride Memorial Park Renovations
Update from Mr. Paul Palzer - Friday, June 27, 2008:
The work at McBride Park should be completed fully by the meeting. The only items I'm waiting on are the
touch up painting and the class 5 gravel near the pump house. I did talk with Harlan about the whirl and he
stated the mounting instructions call for installation from 6-18" above the fall protection. We are at 18" if
you level out the sand and I questioned him why we were not informed of the height preference and stated
his installer only gave us the height of the curbing as their only direction for height. He said that installation
instructions should have been sent to City Hall weeks prior to the delivery and I know that both Andy and I
called him to receive those instructions prior to the equipment delivery, but never received them.
Hidden Spring Park
Mr. Mark Statz, City Engineer requested adding an item under updates regarding the rain garden draw-down
test. He stated Mr. Palzer would have a memo summarizing the results of the test for the committee to
review.
Mr. Palzer emailed the following update:
Monday, June 23, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. Chris Long (Bonestroo) and I filled the rainwater garden to the overflow
outlet level. The weather was dry for two days and when I observed the rainwater garden on Wednesday
morning at 9:00 a.m. and it was dry except for a small amount of water near the inlet that is lined with rocks
and creates a small pool. The rainwater garden appears to meet the new rule of 48 hours for filtering and the
plants that are located in the garden appear to be doing well.
The following update was from Mr. Dallas Larson following the Wednesday, June 25, 2008 City Council
meeting:
The Council approved the Hidden Spring Park shoreline work, which was designed by Greg Thompson and
will be constructed by Natural Shore Technologies, Inc. Mr. Thompson will monitor the construction and
Bonestroo will drop to the background, except to pay for the work.

Subject: Questions on McBride Park renovation
Paul,
Lori and I met for a quick update on the McBride renovation earlier this evening. We had a
few questions, and were wondering if we could meet with you next Monday, June 16th, at
10:30am at McBride to talk through the ideas and our questions.
Here are the questions/observations we had:
1. The south side of the play area is quite wet. Is there (or will there be) drain tile there?
2. We noticed the talk tubes were re-installed... but they don't seem to work.
3. Was the climbing wall in phase 1 or 2? Where will it be installed?
4. We noticed some of the existing equipment had been "touched up" with paint....but it
didn't seem to be finished. Will there be a final coat of paint?
5. There were several questions about the pump building:
· Could we get an outdoor faucet on the north side of the building closest to the picnic
area?
. Could we enclose the meters and access box on the north side so they wouldn't show
or be a temptation to kids?
. There seems to be hail damage from the storm...the southside window is cracked and
water has seeped behind the plastic "window", there is also noticable paint peeling on
the sill (border), there are hail dimples on the soffets. One portion of the left shutter
on the bottom is broken. Will there be a storm damage claim?
. Could we convert the window into a Park and Rec Information Board instead of a
"window"?
Please let Lori and me know if Monday mid-morning will work for you.
Thanks, Suzanne

Subject: HSP discussion Weds night
To all,
We talked about the progression of the shoreline restoration, some of the options that the sub-
contractors recommended, the timeline, etc. Here are the conclusions of our discussion.
We would like:
1. 2ft x 3ft gabions (rather than 3ft x 3ft) with the bio-Iogs on top (We thought the 3' x 3'
gabion would show too much under the bio-Iogs rv and be rather ugly.)
2. to start the restoration as soon as feasible, not wait until August (We figured there are too
many varibles (rainfall, storms, further erosion) to guess whether waiting would actually be
benificial.)
3. a little more information/definition of the "maintenance" referred to in the Natural Shores
Technology's bid
4. to schedule the filling of the raingarden (via the fire hydrant) before the new plantings go in
(so they don't get flooded out)
5. to be kept informed of the fire hydrant test date and the restoration efforts, so the interested
Park & Rec members can be present
Please let me know if I have missed anything that needs to be captured. Kim, please include this in
our packet for July's meeting.
Thanks,
5 u={!1nne
