1.Discussion on Ordinance Update Allowing for Youth Member and Non-Voting Youth Sports
Representative Member of Parks and Recreation Commission
Mike Maher, Parks and RecreationDirector, stated that the City Council recently updated the
ordinance governing advisory commissions to include language that allowsfor the appointment
of a youth member to each of the advisory commissions. Language was also added to allow one
non-voting member ofthe Parks and Recreation Commission, nominated by a Fridley youth
Њ
22
Jufn!4/
Park Commission 8/4/2025 Minutes Page 2
sports organization and confirmed by the Council. It was confirmed that these two members
would be in addition to the seven members of the Commission, for a total of nine.
Chair Borman commented that it seems the youth sports organization would be tasked with
nominating a member to serve, noting that the organization would then be tasked to reappoint
if the member left their organization.
Commissioner Schultz asked about the intention of adding this type of member. Mr. Maher
commented that through the Commons Park planning process, they learned that it is important
to have the needs of youth sports communicated, and this would allow the flow of
communication to move both ways. Commissioner Schultz asked if the member would then be
tasked to communicate with other sports in the organization. Mr. Maher noted that soccer,
baseball, and football are the largest park users, and therefore, he would want to ensure that the
member is informed on those sports topics.
Commissioner Graham asked if the City has spoken with FYSA and whether the organization has
this interest. Mr. Maher was unsure.
Mr. Maher recognized that FYSA is the larger sports organization, but other organizations could
also be considered. The Commission agreed that they should begin with FYSA, but other
organizations could be considered if the organization uses City parks and has Fridley youth
involved.
Chair Borman commented that he does see the benefit of adding a youth member as well.
Mr. Maher commented that City staff is working to advertise the opportunities, and there will
then be an open application period this fall with the expectation to appoint members around
November.
Motion by Commissioner Rehlander to have the ex officio position application process open to all
Fridley youth sports organizations. Seconded by Commissioner Luna. The motion passed
unanimously.
2.!Flanery Park Community Engagement Summary
Mr. Maher commented that Flanery Park is on the schedule for improvements in 2026; therefore,
staff have begun the process for community engagement. He reviewed the Park System
Improvement Plan (PSIP) recommendations for the park, as well as the input received through
community engagement.
Roger McGowan, 7450 Lakeside Road, agreed that the rinks are underutilized but believes that is
because there are no warming houses. He noted that the two times he used the rink last year,
he was the only skater, and he does not often see others using the rinks, but would like them to
remain. He agreed that there is a need for a parking lot and supported the reorientation of the
23
Jufn!4/
Park Commission 8/4/2025 Minutes Page 3
tennis courts. He stated that he does not see people play tennis, but the courts are used for
pickleball, and he would like to see at least two designated pickleball courts. He provided input
on the basketball courts, noting that a full court would be nice and a situation that prevents the
ball from rolling away. He stated that if there are going to be trails, it would be better to have
them paved. He believed that the trees should be thinned out. He commented that residents
have not been allowed inside the park building, so he could not comment on the condition of
the building. He identified a shaded area that could benefit from added picnic tables. He asked
if the restrooms and shelter could be made available to the general public and not just those
renting the space.
Mr. Maher explained that they do not open the building and restrooms to the general public
because of the risk for vandalism and other issues; therefore, they are only open for rentals. He
stated that restrooms are typically opened in community parks where there are more users to
deter that type of activity. He stated that the warming house was closed due to lack of use, noting
that there would be a pleasure rink at Commons Park with a staffed warming house.
Commissioner Graham asked if there would be an issue with noise if the courts were converted
to pickleball. Mr. McGowan commented that he would not have an issue with the noise.
Commissioner Whalen commented that Edgewater Gardens Park has been updated to convert
the tennis court into two pickleball courts along with a full-sized basketball court, if the resident
wanted to see an example of those items. Mr. Maher commented that Commons Park will also
have six pickleball courts.
Mr. Maher commented that some items in this planning process are not yet clear, but those
decisions do not need to be made tonight. He stated that they could proceed with the
playground planning and work out the details on the other elements at the staff level to bring
back additional information.
Commissioner Kirk suggested that additional information should be added in future discussions
related to the water treatment element.
Commissioner Schultz recognized the comment of the resident that the rink is not used and
therefore supports the removal of the rink. He asked if the parking would be large enough to
support the demand. He stated that it would also be helpful to have information on the rental
data of the space to determine if funds should be allocated for that use. Mr. Maher estimated
about 12 rentals per year, but recognized that this has fluctuated based on construction and other
updated rentals available at other parks.
Mr. Maher explained that the PSIP included budgets for items, such as playgrounds, but the cost
for those items increases over the years. He stated that this will now be year five of the plan, and
they have to be more creative in how they update the parks to include features that will be used
rather than everything that was originally in the plan to stay within the budgeted amounts.
24
Jufn!4/
Park Commission 8/4/2025 Minutes Page 4
Commissioner Schultz recognized that there are two side-by-side tennis courts at this time and
asked if one court could be converted to pickleball. Mr. Maher commented that there are
alignment issues, but they could look at creative options. Chair Borman believed that it makes
the most sense to realign the court and fix the drainage issues.
Motion by Commissioner Graham to select playground concept 1 for Flanery Park. Seconded by
Commissioner Whalen. The motion passed unanimously.
3.!Summit Square Park Community Engagement Summary
Mr. Maher provided an overview of the recommended improvements within the PSIP as well as
the community engagement responses received.

Submitted By:Joe Starks, Finance Director/City Treasurer
Paul Bolin, Executive Director, Housing and Redevelopment Authority
Title
Resolution No. 2025-116, Consenting to the Property Tax Levy for 2025, Collectible in 2026, for the
Housing and Redevelopment Authorityin and for the City of Fridley
Background
Since 1996, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority in and for the City of Fridley (HRA) has levied a
property tax to support its activities, specifically various housing rehabilitation programs. Per Minnesota
Statutes§ 469.033, the property tax levy for the HRA may not exceed 0.0185% of the estimated market
value of all real estate and personal property under its jurisdiction. Historically, the HRA leviedthe
statutory maximum.
For property tax payable in 2026, the HRA proposed the same approach. Based on the estimated market
value of $4,453,967,100, the HRA would levy approximately $823,983for 2026, an increase of about
$13,953compared to 2025.
The HRA Board of Commissioners approved the property tax levy at their September 4, 2025,meeting.
Per the abovementioned statute, the City Council (Council) must also consent to the property tax levy
as requested. Assuming the Council approves the property tax levy, staff will certify and submit the
attached resolution to Anoka County on or before September 30, 2025.
Financial Impact
Based on the proposed property tax levy, staff estimate the property taxes payable in 2026to be about
$55for a home with a median assessed value of $296,400and $185 for a commercial property assessed
at $1,000,000.

Title
Resolution No. 2025-117,Approving Change Order No. 1 forthe 2025 Street Rehabilitation Project
No. ST2025-01
Background
Attached is Change Order No. 1 for the 2025 Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2025-01 (Project). This
project is (City)regular street maintenance program and includes concrete
pavement rehabilitation and other miscellaneous improvements along portions of Arthur Street, East
Danube Road, North Danube Road, and West Danube Road (Ward 2). The work is being performed
under a contract with Ti-Zack Concrete, LLC of Le Center, MN.
The amount of this change order is $266,671.25. Total work included in Change Order No. 1 would
increase the original contract by 25.9%. However, the project remains well under budget and remains
underA summary of the
changes is included below:
East Danube Road Concrete Speed Humps (CO1.01 CO1.08)
On April 14, 2025, the Fridley City Council (Council) conducteda public hearing and approved Resolution
No. 2025-46 ordering traffic calming improvements along East Danube Road in conjunction with the
Project. Traffic calming improvements were first petitioned by theadjacent properties along East Danube
Road in December 2024. Anamendment to the Project feasibility reportin March 2025concluded that
traffic calming improvements were warrantedand the construction of two reinforced concrete speed
humps along East Danube Road was recommended.
Items CO1.01-CO1.08accounted for $27,763.15of the change order and will be fundedin equal parts
by Traffic Safety Upgrades (Improvements)CIP fundsand special assessments to the 17 benefiting
properties abutting the improvementsin accordance with Minnesota Statues Chapter 429.Actual
estimate of $29,675.
Temporary Mailbox Relocation (CO1.09)
The installation of temporary mailboxes is a standard practice by the City during street rehabilitation
construction to provide project residents with a safe and convenient location to retrieve mail outside of
the project limits. Shortly after the installation of temporary mailboxes at the intersection of North

Innsbruck Drive and West Danube Road, City staff were notified that the US Postal Service (USPS) had
suspended delivery to the mailboxes due to security concerns at the location.
City staff collaborated with the Contractor and USPS to relocate the temporary mailboxes and provide
additional security measures for the remainder of project construction. City staff received no additional
reports of security concerns following relocation of the temporary mailboxes. Project residents were
returned to regular mail service on September 4, 2025 following the substantial completion of concrete
pavement rehabilitation.
Item CO1.09 accounted for $750 of the change order and will be funded by the Street Improvement
Fund.
Concrete Pavement Rehabilitation (CO1.10 CO1.13)
Rehabilitation of the existing 0.89 miles of concrete pavement in the North Innsbruck neighborhood was
the primary objective of the Project. This was accomplished through a combination of partial-depth and
full-depth repair methods designed to address varying levels of pavement distress.
Preliminary quantities for pavement rehabilitation were developed with the assistance of staff from the
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) Concrete Office. Throughout the design process,
these quantities were verified with aerial imagery. During construction, rehabilitation methods and
extents were jointly determined by the City and Contractor in the field per the Project specifications.
During inspection of the existing pavement with the Contractor in June 2025, it was
determined that a large percentage pavement distresses previously identified as partial-depth repair
candidates would require more extensive full-depth rehabilitation. In these locations, existing pavement
distress would appear minor at the surface but extend through the entire pavement section. Partial-
depth repairs are generally not effective in these cases as they do not entirely remove the defective
pavement section. Moreover, full-depth repairs anecdotally offer a more cost-effective and consistent
level of performance when compared to partial-depth repair methods. For these reasons, City staff and
the Contractor proceeded with upgrading to full-depth repair methods where warranted.
Additional concrete pavement rehabilitation quantities can also be attributed to pavement distresses
created during the construction process. Local and construction traffic were consolidated to one half of
project streets while the Contractor performed pavement rehabilitation work on the other half. The
combination of condensed traffic loading, additional heavy vehicle traffic during construction, and
unconfined pavement edges resulted in additional pavement rehabilitation needs during construction.
Items CO1.10-CO1.13 accounted for $238,158.10 of the change order and will be funded by the Street
Improvement Fund with no increase in special assessments to benefiting adjacent properties
Excluding the separately budgeted traffic calming improvements, the amount of this change order is
$238,908.10, representing a 23.2% increase from original contract amount of $1,027,921.46. The revised
contract amount of $1,266,829.56 (excluding traffic calming improvements) exceeds th
estimate of $1,242,482 by approximately 2%. Favorable bid pricing enabled staff to take a more
conservative approach to the scope and methods of concrete pavement rehabilitation with the Project.
Vision Statement
We believe Fridley will be a safe, vibrant, friendly and stable home for families and businesses.
262
Jufn!29/
Staff are confident in the increased serviceability and longevity of the additional pavement rehabilitation
measures.
Financial Impact
Funding for this project is derived from several sources including Municipal State Aid street funding,
special assessments and Utility Capital Investment Program (CIP) funds (water, sanitary sewer, and
storm sewer). The project remains under budget due to the favorable bid prices received. Additional
cost for this change order will be paid by the Street Reserve Fund.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the approval of Resolution No. 2025-117, Approving Change Order No. 1 for the
2025 Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2025-01.

Title
ResolutionNo.2025-118,Ordering Preparation ofPreliminary Report, Plans, and Specifications for
Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2026-02
Background
The attached resolution directs staff to prepare a feasibility report and initiate preliminary design and
plan preparation for the proposed Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST202602. The feasibility reportwill
rd
address the scope of the work forthe Viron Road/Trunk Highway 65 East Service Drive, 63Avenue,
rdnd
Skywood Lane, 53Avenue, Lincoln Street and 52Avenue(Wards 1& 2). The total length of the
proposed project is 1.46 miles.Please refer to the attached project map for the project location and
streets to be included in the Street Rehabilitation ProjectNo. ST2026-02.
This proposed project is a maintenance project to improve pavement quality. Engineering and Public
Works staff reviewedthe roadwaypavements and established that it would be advantageous to perform
a rehabilitation in 2026 on these segments in advance of any futureneighborhood street project.
The project will be funded through the Street, Municipal State
Aid Street funding and special assessments. Since suspension of (chip) seal coating projects a few years
ago due to premature pavement stripping issues the City of Fridley (City)hasexperienced, Public Works
staffhave decided to allocate this funding to pavement mill/overlay and pavement reclaim rehabilitation
projects.
Streets and underground utilities in the proposed project area were originally constructed in the late
1950s and early 1960s. Since their initial construction, the streets have received routine maintenance
including cracksealing and sealcoating, with all streets receiving their latest sealcoat between 2012, 2016
or 2017. The proposed streets have received rehabilitation since their initial construction with the with
rdrd
Viron Road/Trunk Highway 65 East Service Drive, 63Avenue and 53Avenue occurring in 1993, while
nd
Skywood Lane, Lincoln Street, and 52Avenue were rehabilitated in 2003. Thesesegments were selected
based upon existing pavement age, visual pavementdistressesnoted by staff, and excessive street
maintenance needs.
Routinepavement rehabilitation under a planned program with proper timing allows the City to maintain
a standard of roadway condition throughout the network as well as minimize maintenance costs
ation of the feasibility report will allow staff to
determine what construction is needed and can take place within the project budget. The feasibility

report will further provide a 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 October, an open house is planned for property owners adjacent to and within the areas affected by
the proposed project. Staff will deliver a presentation highlighting project overview, construction
impacts, anticipated schedule, draft budget, and estimated special assessments. The open house will
provide the opportunity for residents in the area to ask questions, and express concerns about the
project that can be taken into consideration as the project evolves to final design. Resident concerns
raised at the meeting will be addressed in the feasibility report.
The scope of the proposed report will address pavement and street improvements, with no anticipated
work for water, sanitary or storm utilities. There are typical private utilities within the project area. Staff
is working with these entities on coordinated work that may be planned by others and completed during
the construction of the 2026 project.
Financial Impact
Funding for this project is derived from several sources including
operating budget, Municipal State Aid Street funding, and special assessments in accordance with City
policy.
