Park Commission 4/1/2024 Minutes Page 2
Rachel Workin, Environmental Planner, provided background information on the project noting
the park project planned for this year. She provided additional details on the stormwater
elements of the park, the existing conditions, and prior incidents. She provided details of the
feasibility study completed by the WMO, the City and the consultants which reviewed multiple
concepts. She presented the concept which provides a balance between underground and
surface water features to manage stormwater. She stated that the WMO awarded $1,493,000 at
th
its March 12 meeting for the stormwater project. The City is asked to provide a $15,000
th
contribution. She noted that the City Council will consider this project at its April 8 meeting and
if approved, the project is planned for construction in the fall of 2024.
Commissioner Whalen asked for details on maintenance. Ms. Workin commented that $50,000
of the budget from the WMO can be used for native habitat maintenance over the next three
years to ensure success in establishing that habitat. She stated that the City would be responsible
for ongoing maintenance of the underground stormwater facility.
Chair Borman asked if the stormwater treatment would collect runoff from the neighborhood.
Ms. Workin commented that the plan would balance above ground water treatment that would
collect water from the immediate area, while the underground facility would collect water
diverted from the stormwater system to treat water and infiltrate that into the ground. She
commented that these combined methods of treatment would be estimated to remove 5,000
pounds of sediment from runoff each year, as well as additional phosphorus removal that would
be provided, prior to the water discharging into the Mississippi River.
Commissioner Kirk asked the anticipated lifespan of the underground structure. Ms. Workin
commented that the maintenance needs would depend on the quality of the stormwater reaching
the park. She stated that there will be a pretreatment element to collect leaves and debris, but
finer particulates will reach the underground facility. She noted a similar underground facility the
City uses which is vacuumed every three to five years. She believed that the facility has a useful
life expectancy of 25 to 30 years.
Motion by Commissioner Whalen to endorse the modified Sylvan Hills Concept Plan. Seconded by
Commissioner Kirk. The motion passed unanimously.
2. City of Fridley Park Bench Sponsorship Guidelines
Mike Maher, Parks and Recreation Director, reviewed the purpose of a park bench sponsorship
program. He stated that these draft guidelines and program used the Springbrook Nature Center
program as a model to expand upon. He reviewed the proposed program details and typical
bench types for the different types of parks.
Chair Borman asked if Springbrook Nature Center has reached the capacity for benches. Mr.
Maher confirmed that there are currently 28 benches at that location, all of which have been
sponsored.

This project will provide for vehicle storage and equipment storage for the Parks and Recreation Department and Public Works Department -
Water Division.
Justification
The improvement would provide space for approximately 10 vehicles and seasonal recreation equipment storage. The project will be partially

Submitted By:Mike Maher, Parks and Recreation Director
Title
Commons Park Recreation Building Discussion
Background
Commons Park will receive significant improvements as the second of two community park renovations
funded Park System Improvement Plan. Building and site design will be substantially
completed in 2024, with construction expected to begin in 2025. HCM Architects have been brought on
board to design our recreation building and the evaluation process is underway to hire a landscape
architect.
Central to the park design with be an interconnectedcomplex featuring a park building, parking, splash
pad, inclusive playground,and winter recreation area. The recreation building budget, established in the
2021 Park System Improvement Plan document, was set at $4 million. Staff has developed a vision for
the building to be an operational hub for Fridley Parks and Recreation and to feature restrooms, warming
and gathering areas, classrooms, and an indoor play space. The project team recommends allocation of
an additional $1 million in budget allocation to the park building to fully realize the vision for this central
hub of the park project.
Financial Impact
The Commons Park project total budget is $11-12 million. Staff has identified several strategies to
achieve the overall goals of the park plan while allocating an additional $1 million towards the park
building. Staff expects the overall project to still meet the $11-12 million budget.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Commission review thevision for operations and community impact of the
new recreation building and endorse a $5 million budget for the recreation building to the Fridley City
th
Council. Council will review the project at their May 13conference meeting.
