[2:03] over to Mr burkquist our arena's annual report and budget presentation

[2:09] thank you back for another year hopefully it'll go

[2:14] a little faster i know I bore everybody with my budget stuff no I like it okay um we've had another uh

[2:22] very successful year i always start out for the public's understanding of a lot of people don't realize we are a

[2:29] separate entity from the city and we are actually a partnership between the school district and the city so um and

[2:36] we do not one of the things we're proud of the city and everyone uh handles the

[2:41] debt service of the buildings and so forth city leases the building to us at zero cost which we appreciate citizens

[2:49] my users appreciate that um and then we uh since Lakefield Arenas was opened in

[2:56] 2006 when the posi was built I know you all are very proud that it has never had to dip into uh the arena uh the city

[3:04] funds or school district to pay its operating expenses and we are continuing that path

[3:10] so uh just couple things our management team is been uh the first couple years

[3:16] as you know I was pretty much on my own um through COVID and a few things and we're really coming alive uh Nick Nick

[3:24] our operations manager has really stepped into his role and stepped it up this last year we hired a programs manager Brennan BC who um is really

[3:32] starting to get a good feel for it and taking over the camps and a lot of the

[3:38] uh internal program that we're going to be doing this year and especially next year with the outdoor facility tanya um

[3:45] I've mentioned her multiple times lori my concessions people Lori and Alyssa do an amazing job our concessions continue

[3:52] to grow be because of them and then three of our drivers Jeff Zimmerman Corey Mogan and Mike Cerguson um are all

[4:00] I just wanted to mention them because they're a big part of what's happening these last couple years um and our

[4:06] success so um I'd like to talk about the partnerships we have we have several partnerships you i always like to

[4:13] recognize the city and the school district cuz a lot of our users don't understand how much you actually do contribute and it's very much

[4:20] appreciated from the building leases to the the debt service and a lot of the projects that have you've taken on and

[4:27] and helped us move moving this facility to a whole another level so I always want to recognize both the city and the

[4:34] school district and I appreciate it uh Lakeville Youth Hockey is one of our largest partners obviously uh they

[4:41] bought 2,200 hours of ice last year spent almost 600,000 on ice sales um

[4:48] they contributed about 85,000 annually towards debt service they're purchasing

[4:53] approximately $20,000 of revenue per year uh advertising per year which helps

[4:58] us but they re they've got the spring sponsorships at Ames so um it's very appreciated that they buy ads on behalf

[5:05] of their um sponsors um they purchased a $180,000 dryland facility a couple year

[5:11] a few years ago they um contributed $60,000 for

[5:17] upgrades to the sound system uh purchased new video scoreboards recently last year for about $280,000 and have

[5:24] committed about $250,000 towards uh the rink the amenities on the outdoor pavilion rink

[5:31] which is um so I I I do like to recognize them and they do a lot a lot

[5:37] of times so um I think it's they do step up quite often for

[5:43] us and I have some other uh Heritage Figure Skating Club obviously has been

[5:48] and started here with Lakeville started that club and they they contribute about

[5:55] 11,000 towards the debt service but I I want to mention specifically the Glenn Hassi family they provided um naming

[6:01] rights for the Hassia facility a few years back when it was built and this past year I think it was last year but

[6:08] they just reuped for another $250,000 in uh naming rights which helped us

[6:14] immensely because we had a lot of big expenses that were coming up within the facility and they were doing kind of a

[6:20] matching funds uh program with them which is where LHA came in with matching

[6:26] some of the amenities work the Alina L systems for the Alina Pavilion Rink they are uh providing $100,000 in naming

[6:34] rights towards that facility and I want to bring up South Metro Rental i think they always kind of fall off the radar

[6:39] but I I want you to know what good partners they are for us we trade advertising with them and I feel like I

[6:46] always get the better end because I have lots of projects going on and they just bring equipment over drop it off and we

[6:53] go to town um I'm on a been cutting tree cleaning up posi the other day for quite

[6:59] a bit so and then the ch uh chamber of commerce does a lot for us they work

[7:05] with us on our activities uh helping us find advertisers we've been getting more and more involved with the chamber each

[7:10] year now uh some of our annual events we have the

[7:17] heritage figure skating show which is always every year they do a really good job the annual skate with Santa is

[7:23] always packed and full and people appreciate that hockey Day Lakeville which is a complete fundraising event

[7:29] that money does not go to LHA it actually goes to the foundation of

[7:34] Minnesota Hockey a couple uh programs there uh Minnesota Special Hockey and so

[7:40] forth and then this last year we were fortunate to get the w women's hall of fame game in which the Minnesota golfers

[7:48] uh played Bumiji State at HSI Arena on first and we had a packed house and uh it was pretty exciting and fun next year

[7:55] we have been awarded the uh two divisions for the Minnesota Youth International Hockey Tournament which is

[8:01] being held by Minnesota Hockey in conjunction with the World Junior Championships in the Twin Cities it's a

[8:07] week-long festival um it's going to be a really big thing in fact I'm meeting with Alina here soon they're doing a big

[8:14] trophy tour of it and stuff so it's in the hockey world this is a big thing i don't I don't know when we last had a

[8:21] junior championship or something like this so we're excited about that coming up our usage uh arena programs right now

[8:28] that's the area that's been growing and is continuing to grow so we got about 4.6 goes for learn to skate our new

[8:35] Aspire program we started might camps might clinics and

[8:41] uh might uh leagues which we added on our kids just from the last year

[8:46] heritage Figure Skating Clubs responsible they use about 6.4% our public activities which is

[8:54] everything from open stick and puck to open public skating and other public type events um uses about 20% of the ice

[9:02] time and then Lakeville Youth Hockey is up they're down to about 31% and then other ice rentals all

[9:10] throughout the rest of the year which is our biggest growing area and a lot of our growth is driven from that is because we now operate all three arenas

[9:17] throughout the summer and all year round so that's growing to 25% and I believe this year it's going to be them and

[9:22] Lakeville will be almost even uh programming are we are always

[9:28] number anywhere from one to three I believe every year behind Egan unfortunately and um Edina we always

[9:36] kind of we're always battling for the third spot but we had 1,085 kids register for our learn to skate lessons

[9:42] and is very popular and very successful and that's a testament to Tanya who's been running it since day one and

[9:48] started it might league registrations are up um that's a new program that's really going

[9:54] to grow next year we have camps this year and overall just our growth in general in every area we've we set out

[10:00] in 2022 to grow our growth uh facilities and utilize them year round and it has

[10:06] been from our pro shop to programming is up significantly you can see the numbers on it um admissions actually you can see

[10:14] a little bit of dip here in the next couple years due to an accounting change on how we're accounting public

[10:19] programming versus programs uh learn to skate is our biggest that's doubled in size over the last several years since

[10:27] COVID um concessions is our biggest probably

[10:32] it's gone you know we used to do 25,000 for years and years of net revenue and now it's up to

[10:39] 178,000 and all that revenue I use to hire part-time staff to keep it's very

[10:45] important to have people available for for the residents and for the users so um that really funds them part-time

[10:51] people and ice rentals is like I mentioned has gone significantly from

[10:57] 914,000 pre-COVID to 1.6 million and overall revenue we will double revenue

[11:03] since 2021 this year but we are growing asked what are

[11:09] you doing with all the money we're doing a lot with it things that we were never able to do so these

[11:14] are some before and after pictures of Ames Arena somebody asked me you should put a before and after picture so you've

[11:20] got the lobby the and this was all work that staff did as far as painted the entire facility we we're always making

[11:26] improvements um and it's been well received by by everyone uh this is our

[11:33] facility same thing we painted we we've done a lot there got rid of the well

[11:38] it's yellow I call it but other people have another name for some of the colors that were up above uh the browns and we

[11:46] redid a girls locker room helped them and they contributed as well we got a brand new camera system and locks we've

[11:52] upgraded both concessions pro shop we installed a light show for

[11:59] uh uh and with the blue line club or boosters um they paid for the equipment

[12:06] we paid and our staff installed it for them the video scoreboards we installed them as far as did all the wiring for it

[12:13] pulled all the CAT 5 and we provided we had to get about $30,000 in upgrades to the building in order for them to be

[12:19] brought in so we contributed that um we've had the hos been upgraded we

[12:25] had a brand new set of boards we had to put in at HSI that was no longer safe we had to buy a new Zamboni for the outdoor

[12:32] rink um snow removal equipment for the outdoor rink which we're financing right now uh we have a new skate skating

[12:39] treadmill a company called Etrain that moved in this last year we built them out of space and they pay a monthly rent

[12:46] rental fee and then of course the hosi pavilion that you're you're all aware of and we are now working on all the

[12:53] amenities for next year and some of our landscaping projects we got rid of the haunted

[12:59] forest i called it outside of Ames along the highway and we're doing the same thing for because we have a lot of

[13:04] problem with theft and people at the back by the road tracks been so secluded so we're fixing that but most

[13:10] importantly we're transitioning to a full-time workforce so we always have somebody full-time on staff um that was

[13:16] a rarity in the past and we're we're we're getting there and we're very close and I'm sure you saw that in the budget

[13:23] we're getting close to where we will always have a full-time driver there and that's important I believe to really

[13:29] take our facility to the next level and that's brings me to the budget and I promised I wasn't going to report on

[13:36] that and bore everyone um so I don't know if anybody has any comments or questions

[13:43] no all right thank you very good thank you i I will just say it's very um it's

[13:53] promising and it feels good to see the growth since you've come so I appreciate that and everything you've done to

[13:59] really turn Yes appreciate it's very exciting thank you all right

[14:06] okay moving on to uh our next item the parks and recck department quarterly report and I'll turn over to our parks

[14:11] and recck director Mr macy Archin

[14:19] mayor uh city council uh good evening uh this is our uh March through May

[14:24] quarterly report uh so spring primarily is what we'll be talking about this evening uh starting out with

[14:29] administration so some of the kind of overarching projects that we're working on uh starting uh with uh park system

[14:36] plan uh Grand Prairie Park spy glass and strategic plan is really what we'll be talking about tonight um so for the uh

[14:43] park system plan uh back in April um we sent out RFP uh for the next uh park

[14:50] system master plan that's our next 10-year plan that'll be 2026 to 2036

[14:56] uh in on May 20th we received five proposals and since staff uh have been

[15:01] reviewing those proposals it's our intention to uh continue to kind of review those and make a final selection

[15:06] here by June uh 12th uh but that'll be a great project I think for us to get started and and continue to move along

[15:13] as we look at the growth of the community and how we continue to maintain and utilize our existing properties uh Grand Prairie Park I know

[15:20] this is a a topic we talk about every time I'm up here uh but continues to move forward at this point we've uh we've had some good progress on

[15:26] challenge course a lot of the site grading um the fields are starting to come together you can see all of the

[15:32] field lights are up uh but it's still our hope and intention that the playground splash pad pickle ball courts

[15:38] and some of the other amenities should be opening July to really early August uh still on track at this point for

[15:45] fields to be opening in spring of 2026 uh Spy Glass Park that's actually

[15:51] one of the items that's on the agenda tonight uh but Spy Glass phase 2 uh that was the the neighborhood park that um

[15:57] was uh master planned and the design specifications were completed by SRF that went out for bid opening uh which

[16:04] was held uh the bid opening was held on May 13th uh and the low bid is Frig's

[16:09] Landscaping uh the upgraded park amenities for that facility include um

[16:15] half court basketball court which like we've done with all of our other basketball courts will be striped for um

[16:20] partial pickle ball as well uh botchi bell courts and then the multi-purpose athletic deck that'll actually be the

[16:27] first irrigated athletic deck that we have in a neighborhood park utilizing uh the storm water um in that park so kind

[16:34] of a great amenity for for that area as well uh recreation strategic plan we

[16:40] talked about this a little bit uh at the work session uh last week um but administratively we've been working on

[16:47] increasing the number of meetings we have between our different divisions recreation heritage and art center

[16:52] specifically looking at programming and use uh so those have now been scheduled and then staff has also been working on

[16:57] a unified rental page to help streamline the process for residents and that's also coming along

[17:03] nicely and park maintenance they have been busy this spring um one of the items I did want to talk about is

[17:09] actually a new piece of equipment that was purchased this year out of um this year's equipment budget it's the ABI

[17:14] ball field groomer um that piece of equipment uh has now been implemented

[17:20] we've been using it to regrade and um um kind of upgrade several of our fields uh

[17:26] Aronson um the Quigley um King have all

[17:31] received work already this year historically uh we had to contract that work out we usually would try to tackle

[17:37] one or two fields a year at a cost of 10 to 12,000 this year we've already

[17:42] tackled I think we're sitting around eight or nine um so it's going to be a great improvement for us not only does

[17:47] it help uh in our ability to be able to respond and increase the quality of the fields but also helps to reduce the

[17:53] number of rain outs that we have um by regrading the fields we're able to make sure that um they drain

[17:59] correctly uh summer duties uh so this spring staff has been really busy with uh playground inspections uh setting

[18:05] docks and buoys installing windcreens and sun shades it's kind of that seasonal work that we do every year but

[18:11] they really help us get the system kind of up and running in time and with the early spring we had this year they were

[18:17] out there right away um getting pickle ball nets up and all of those items so busy spring but uh things have come

[18:22] together well and this year uh two playground replacements are scheduled in fact two

[18:27] playgrounds have already been removed so those projects are moving along uh that includes Kensington Park and Marian

[18:32] Field marian Field is a kind of an easier project that one is truly just a replacement and we're utilizing the same

[18:38] container that's there kensington is receiving some additional work it'll receive a new concrete uh container

[18:44] little bit of a different shape we're also doing some work to the uh trails and benches and some other things so

[18:49] that project will take a little bit longer uh but we anticipate both of those should be reopened here later this

[18:55] summer and we talked about this actually at the last session but I thought it was uh or the last council meeting but I

[19:01] thought it was a good opportunity to show you the completed project uh so the two AED units that were donated by

[19:06] Lakeville Soccer have now been installed uh this is actually the example of the one from Steve Mashad Park and again we

[19:12] thank Lakeville soccer club for their donation to help make that happen and staff update uh we had a

[19:18] notable retirement here in April uh Tom Weiss who had been with the city for 20 years uh retired and we want to wish uh

[19:24] Tom well on his retirement and thank him for his years of service uh because of two retirements we were able to bring in

[19:31] two new staff members uh who started here this spring both in March uh and that includes Austin and Kyle and we

[19:36] welcome them to the team as far as recreation goes uh summer programs are continuing to register well

[19:43] um some of the notable highlights there would include uh obviously our sports a lot of those Rev sports programs that we

[19:49] do uh including basketball uh golf soccer are all doing incredibly well

[19:56] and for other recreation programs we talk a lot about the nature programs over at Admeako um and at Ritter Farm

[20:02] Park so far those programs are sitting at around 349 registrations for summer so a really strong showing and that is

[20:08] an area that we expect is going to continue to grow over time and uh implementation for the

[20:15] recreation heritage center strategic plan um the rec staff has been busy um they've completed uh the mission money

[20:21] matrix on the programming ranking and looking at our our fees versus our mission they've worked on updating our

[20:28] volunteer web page um they've scheduled uh and started working on increasing the

[20:34] access to our scholarship programs and then also um have dramatically increased the surveys to both participants and

[20:42] instructors as far as facility rentals go um this is again our first full season with Antlers Park so we expected

[20:48] this was going to be a strong year um we're sitting right now at 221 reservations for the John Hennon

[20:54] Pavilion and um all of our shelters combined so that's all of our parks we're sitting at around

[21:01] 142 and uh for upcoming programs recreation has some notable ones coming up obviously the puppet wagon which runs

[21:07] uh three days a week that'll start here June 16th camp Kermit uh also starts June 16th fourth of July fireworks

[21:14] information on that is on our website and also on the Panrog website and then the Panaprog run will be on June 12th

[21:20] this year and for the art center uh this says summer visual art programs this is

[21:26] spring so my apologies there uh but the pottery program sitting a little over 300 registrations in a a 3-month period

[21:34] uh the specialty workshops 45 participants and painting and drawing that's an area that has just exploded in

[21:41] the new building sitting at 134 uh registrations and performing arts also

[21:46] doing really well uh this year um the art center staff has been working on increasing the number of classes for

[21:53] performing arts there's an increased number of those here in summer as well but 41 registrations in that first

[21:58] season in spring um but otherwise we've had several really notable performances including um over 700 tickets sold for

[22:05] Murder is announced um the Mary Mack comedy show that was actually sold out at 228 uh and then um tribute to hall

[22:14] notes did really well as well uh so 183 and this was our third year for the

[22:20] downtown Lakeville art crawl it's always one of those events I like to highlight it's a great partnership between the art center and host businesses so different

[22:28] than a lot of the events that we do um this is an event we would not be able to do without those businesses hosting

[22:33] artists uh but that was held on May 10th it was a beautiful Saturday really well attended and the feedback from both

[22:39] artists and host businesses were incredibly positive this year and I do want to thank the staff and the

[22:44] volunteers that really made that event work and the 2025 2026 play bill uh will

[22:50] be heading out here in June that is um our annual play bill so that covers events from this August through next

[22:56] August uh that's a massive undertaking uh that the art center is um finalizing now some great new events and uh some

[23:03] schedule changes and some other things that Nikki's been working on that I think we're all pretty excited about and upcoming events uh Live at the

[23:10] Lake here starts uh June 11th um we've also got the outdoor raccoon classes

[23:16] teen summer pottery um storybook theater is back again this year and then the art festival will be coming up here in

[23:23] September and the heritage center uh also been very busy working on the implementation plan a couple of not

[23:30] notable items there they've been spending a lot of time looking at facility use um and talking a lot with

[23:35] the other facilities to try to um use some of our other spaces which is great look at how we're using existing spaces

[23:42] to look for some efficiencies which has been a great project uh and upcoming soon they will be doing that same

[23:47] mission money matrix that uh the recreation programs did aside from that on April 29th they

[23:54] held their annual open house uh had over 140 participants uh at that they had 26

[24:01] uh new memberships that signed up at that event and are sitting at an all-time record of uh over 1,600 uh

[24:09] members uh they uh held their annual volunteer appreciation dinner at the art

[24:15] center this year um that was uh held with a Cinco deio theme it was a fun event they had over 90 volunteers that

[24:21] attended that event and there's a multitude more that were unable to make it um but those volunteers for the

[24:27] heritage center really help things to move along including uh taking care of the reception desk the coffee area um

[24:33] it's the bread drivers and that's an important program for them um it's also

[24:38] group leaders that help run some of the other events that happen there and then the advisory committee members uh but

[24:43] obviously that facility would not run as smoothly as it does without their volunteer

[24:49] time and summer programming for Heritage has also been uh clicking along uh their

[24:54] biking club is sitting at uh 65 members golf at 80 pickle ball at over 200 that

[24:59] program just continues to grow exponentially and botchi sitting at uh

[25:06] 54 and some other notable trips coming up here for the heritage center uh trips

[25:11] and events the Lakeville lunchons um this spring they've had 165 attendees um

[25:16] and their spring tea event which I believe was the first time they held it was a great event really great feedback

[25:22] and had almost 80 participants at that and memberships for memberships and

[25:27] passes um attendance is also doing really well there so these are uh cards and board games um it's crafts it's the

[25:34] book clubs um those events these are individual people that sign up to participate in those events that

[25:40] participate all year long so the participation there is is really involved um and represents a lot of time

[25:46] at the facility and with that I'll stand for any questions okay council questions

[28:48] i'm representing uh Brandle Anderson Homes or in this case Reserve at Cedar Creek LLC and what we have is a plumary

[28:56] plat and a emanation it's a 48 lot single family residential subdivision

[29:01] located north of uh County Road 50 and south of 200 Street and uh directly west

[29:30] basically we're getting rid of the easements and giving out lots and right away in its place um the plan for this

[29:36] is to start construction here this summer and we are already basically got final plat submitted to the city to move

[29:42] that forward from that standpoint but we are looking to get a grading permit and start grading out here as soon as we can

[29:48] and have streets and utilities and everything built this year and have houses going in by the winter so uh with

[29:54] that being said we went through a substantial review period through the plary plat and I think everything's been addressed at this point and um uh

[30:02] Brandle Anderson Homes will be the primary builder in this project and we're looking to do it in one phase um

[30:08] so all 48 lots at one time so with that I can take any additional questions I guess

[30:14] okay any questions okay Miss Goodro for staff report thank you mayor members of the

[30:21] council um so just to um provide a little context for location um the

[30:27] property is located just north of 202nd Street south of 200th um between um

[30:32] Globe Drive and Hamburg over to the west um the property is zoned RST2 single and

[30:39] two family residential um Mr anderson did a great job um explaining the overview of the project it is a proposal

[30:45] for 48 lots um this area that's hatched is the area where um FEMA did a letter

[30:51] of map revision to readjust the flood plane line so we were able to include

[30:57] this area into an outlot so as he mentioned that easement is no longer needed um the rightway um dedication for

[31:06] the road will be part of the final plot um so you can see the layout of the units um the landscaping plan um there

[31:13] will be some storm water ponding to the south that will be screened to those residents abudding it as well as to the

[31:20] north along 200th Street um so both of those roadways will be screened and then

[31:25] the required landscaping for each lot um planning commission did hold a public hearing um at their meeting on May 22nd

[31:33] um no one testified at the meeting and the planning commission unanimously recommended approval and I would stand

[31:39] for any questions any questions

[31:44] okay I I do have a question for the applicant one of the things that came up in the planning commission and parks and

[31:50] wreck was about tree preservation and it looks like they made a note to encourage you to try to preserve more trees than

[31:57] originally is did you Yeah any more trees you know as we're getting closer

[32:02] here or what was the decision on that no there's not really any way to preserve any additional trees uh with this layout

[32:07] we do have a pretty good uh substantial area in the southwest corner along the the creek area that will all be

[32:13] preserved you can kind of see on the map up that there is quite a few trees we are planting additional trees along the

[32:19] north property line along that uh pond area and then uh the standard you know landscaping stuff you know the front

[32:25] yard trees and then the rear yard we are putting trees in each of the rear yards as well um I do know um going to the

[32:32] west on the property there that creek kind of extends northwest along there and that's a fairly wooded area as well

[32:38] so that will be in that clo uh uh location but with the way the site

[32:43] grades out and we have to match in uh there's really not a way to save additional trees in the interior of the site okay thanks Council any other

[32:51] comments otherwise I'll take a motion councilman Burbal i move to approve a resolution approving

[32:58] the reserve at Cedar Creek Preliminary Plat and a resolution approving an
