Meeting 2/19/2025
Mr. Maher presented a history of the Public engagement process that was extensive and defined
improvements to be made throughout the park system in Fridley. Mr. Maher indicated the total cost
approved for the Parks Mater Plan improvements is $30M dollars and will stretch over the next 8 years.
Mr. Maher indicated the parks that have been improved thus far and the positive public input that the
City has received as a result. Mr. Maher indicated that there was some discussion generated by the
suggestion of moving the ball diamonds, however the plan as it now exists has been accepted by all
parties and the negotiations ended successfully.
Chair, Josh Collins, asked if there were any plans to put a trail from the parking lot at the north end to the
disc golf course north of the Middle School. Mr. Maher described the irregular boundary of Commons
Park. He illustrated the boundary through use of a slide in his PowerPoint and indicated that the average
person will not step over the line between School District owned property and that owned by the City,
however it has been purposely designed to be cohesive and work well together. He indicated that there
has been talk of seeking grant funds through the Safe Routes to School Program that may allow that
installation to happen, however a trail connection there is not in this plan.
Mr. Maher continued his presentation and discussed the distinct areas in the plan that allow the 4-season
enjoyment of the space. The
awarded to them by the State to help pay $500,000 of that amount due to the inclusive design of the
play area. Maher continued by discussing the ball fields, pickleball courts and various other features
outside of the new building also planned for the site.
As he discussed the building, he discussed the attractive materials chosen for the exterior.
Stating that the building is meant to blend in and have a presence both. On the interior, Maher described
the various spaces, the event/classrooms that expand
house area that can be utilized to warm up or for rest rooms, vending in that area. And the art discussed
to create a fun colorful expression. The group purposely did not have a sports theme to the art to keep
it as inclusive as possible and to not become dated over time.
Gary Swanson asked if rooms will be available for rent. Mr. Maher explained that the current plans for the
building are that it would be staff, on weekdays and weekends and that spaces could be rented. He
imagines this will be a hit for Birthday parties with the splash pad and other features to enjoy while at a
birthday party.
Going back to the buil
responded no, it would not be, it is an area intended for less structured, or less formal play.
Gary Swanson Commented on the more formal yard west of the building and said he can see that being
a very popular area to enjoy. He said it reminded him of the Mall at the University of Minnesota and can
see people enjoying it in a similar way.
Focusing on the Art placement and potential areas, Mr. Marer pointed out the area on the east side of
the building. Indicating that the sail shade structure, performance area has been illustrated, but the area
between the sail shade area of the building and the building itself has been less defined. Mr. Maher
29
Jufn!6/
Public Arts Commission Minutes Page 3
Meeting 2/19/2025
pointed out the planter was where people could sit and suggested that that may be an area that the
group would like to consider.
The Commission members began a general discussion of the potential for art in that area A member
asked if Mike Maher knew the dimensions (Diameter) of the space, he indicated that he could get back
to them and make that available. However, he did not know right off, his best estimate would be
Kara Ruwart envisioned a piece of art with movement, like a mobile would be interesting. Chair Collins
indicated he too thought a piece of kinetic (moving) art would be appropriate in that location. Collins was
involved with the St. Paul Union Depot installation of a Kinetic Art Piece and thought that if that is the
direction we were headed as a commission we should begin to talk to artists about what kind of sculpture
would fit in that space and how much should a group plan to budget in that instance. Mr. Collins
continued by stating that kinetic art can get expensive quickly and that in the Union Depo was well over
$100k.
Gary Osterbauer mentioned that he had heard from someone who knew he is involved in this Commission
and the work it is doing and suggested he look at Noblesville, Indiana. They have a Keep Noblesville
Beautiful or similar program, and public art is part of their effort.
Scott Lund, President of the Fridley Creative Arts Foundation reminded the group the grant application
period for the Regional Arts Council is between now and May. Having a location will help in many ways
with fundraising.
Scott Hickok thanked Director Maher for his attendance and presentation at the meeting and asked the
group if there was a consensus as to the location of the public Art Placement that they would like to
focus on. After presentation, the group was ready to vote on the location that all
believed would be most appropriate for an art installation at Commons Park, hopefully whose art
completion timing would coincide with the ribbon- redevelopment
completion.
Motion by Gary Swanson, seconded by Miaja Sedzielarz to approve the priority Public Art location
withing the planted area with a seating wall around it, east of the new planned park building for the
park. Two final comments, Kara Ruwart asked that we make sure electrical (at least conduit is run in case
the art needs it. Chair Collins and Miaja Sedzielarz would begin discussing with experts in this type of
installation in Minneapolis and at Silverwood Park. With no other discussion, the motion Passed
unanimously.

Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, presented a proposal for an exclusive negotiations
agreement for the HRA-owned property located at Central Avenue and Mississippi. He provided

which began in September of 2024 as well as the proposed timeline moving forward. He stated that
staff recommends approval of the resolution approving the agreement as presented.

Chair Showalter recognized that it would not make sense for Centra to do the work necessary to
develop more details on the site without having this agreement because of the investment the
company will be making.
Commissioner Schwankl asked if the first-time buyer funds would be available for these homes in the
future. Mr. Bolin confirmed that could be an option, explaining that the program funds are qualified
towards the buyer and not the home itself.
Commissioner Brueggemeier commented that in the joint meeting with the City Council, it seemed
unanimous in the decision to move forward with Centra.
Motion by Commissioner Buyse to approve HRA Resolution No. 2025-01, Approving a Contract for

(Wards 1& 2). The total length of the proposed project is 4.17miles.Please refer to the attached project
map for the project location and streets to be included in the 2026Street Rehabilitation Project.
Streets and underground utilities in the proposed project area were originally constructed in the 1960s,
withtheexceptionofMadison Street which was constructedin 1981.Since their initial construction, the
streets have received routine maintenance including cracksealing and sealcoating, with all streets
receiving their latest sealcoat in 2006 or 2009. The proposed streets have not received significant
th
rehabilitation since their initial construction with the exception of Symphony Street and a portion of 74
Avenue, which were reconstructed in 2000. The segments were selectedbased upon existing pavement
age, visual pavementdistressesnoted by staff, and excessive street and utility maintenance needs.
Routinepavement rehabilitation under a planned program with proper timing allows the Cityof Fridley
(City)to maintain a standard of roadway condition throughout the network as well as minimize
ation of the feasibility report will
allow staff to determine what construction is needed and can take place within the project budget as
recommendation to the City Council on proposed project scope and construction. All construction
activities associated with the project are recommended to take place in 2026.
In March/April,an open house is planned for property owners adjacent to and within theareas affected
by the proposed project. Staff will deliver a presentation highlighting projectoverview, construction
impacts, anticipated schedule, draft budget, and estimated specialassessments. The open house will
provide the opportunity for residents in the area to askquestions, and express concerns about the
project that can be taken into considerationas the project evolves to final design. Resident concerns
raised at the meeting will beaddressed in the feasibility report.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.
