Planners OBTAINING CITIZEN INPUT The success of the Saint Joseph' Park Master Planning process depends on its acceptance and support by the community. Broad and meaningful community participation throughout the planning process will ensure that the Plan addresses the needs and desires of the community. It will also foster community ownership and support for the Plan's policies and implementation measures. Our general approach to public participation includes the following steps. We will work closely with the City Council, Park Board and City staff, as well as the community at large to develop a detailed public participation plan that works best for the City. 1. Establish Communication with the Community. Effective and meaningful communication provides a forum for all to listen, share, and learn throughout the entire planning process. We propose to establish communication with the community through a variety of means including the following: ^ Work Closely with the Stakeholders. We will work closely with the stakeholders throughout the planning process to address the detailed aspects of the Plan. We anticipate meeting up to once a month to ensure that the Plan and the planning process are consistent with the needs and desires of the community. ^ Interview Key People and Organizations. We will interview key representatives from the school districts, recreation organizations, the City, etc. Many of the people we will interview may otherwise find it difficult to participate in the planning process. ^ City Council and Commission Updates. At key times during the planning process, we will assist City Staff in preparing written and/or oral updates of the planning process to the City Council and pertinent commissions. ^ City Newsletter. Two to three times throughout the planning process, we would be willing to assist the City in writing articles for a newsletter. The first article would describe the planning process and key issues and opportunities. It would also identify ways for residents to be involved in the planning process. The second article would describe the draft vision, goals, and concepts of the plan. The third article would provide an overview of the draft or final plan. Public Meetings/Open Houses. We propose to conduct two open houses. The first open house would provide a chance for the public to review and refine the draft inventory and the draft vision. The second open house would provide an opportunity for the public to provide input for the draft plan. We will organize workshops and exercises so that residents can provide meaningful feedback, rather than simply reviewing the work. Proposal to City of Saint Joseph Page 10 Parks and Recreation Master Plan February 2008 SANDERS Landscape WACKER Architects BERGLY, and INC. Planners ^ Community Displays. We will work with the City to prepare community displays of key aspects of the work. For example, we could prepare illustrative boards of the draft plan that would be displayed at City Hall and other key areas in the City. Web Site. We would be willing to work with the City to place all milestone documents on the City's web site. We could also place all progress documents on our web site. ^ Other Media Outlets. Working with the City, we will promote the planning process via newspaper coverage, cable television coverage, and/or other possible media outlets. 2. Identify the Community's Vision. It is imperative that the community's vision have broad-based support. Although we will put the draft vision into words, the community will express its vision to us through a variety of means including the following: ^ Task Force and Focus Groups and Key Interviews. We will conduct organized exercises and interviews to get a rough idea of the community's vision for parks, open space, and facilities. Public Meeting/Open House. We will review a draft vision with residents at a public meeting/community open house. We will also facilitate an exercise for residents to confirm or refine the draft vision. ^ Web Site. We will work with the Communications Department to place the draft vision on the City's web site. We anticipate using the City's web survey to promote feedback on the draft vision. 3. Facilitate Discussion about how to Achieve the Vision. There are many ways to achieve the City's expressed vision for parks, open space, and facilities. We will work closely with the City to facilitate discussion regarding the best approach to achieving the vision. We propose to use the following techniques to facilitate discussion: ^ Task Force and Focus Groups and Key Interviews. Working closely with the Task Force, Focus Groups and Key Interviews, we will prepare draft goals, objectives, policies and plans that show how the City can achieve its vision. ^ Public Meeting/Open House. We will present a draft plan at a public meeting/community open house. The meeting will facilitate discussions among all residents and stakeholders. This discussion, in turn, will guide us in refining the draft plan. ^ Web Site. We will work with the Communications Department to place the draft plan on the web. We also anticipate using the City's web survey to promote feedback and discussion of the draft plan. Proposal to Ciry of Saint Joseph Page 11 Parks and Recreation Master Plan February 2008 SANDERS Landscape WACKER Architects BERGLY, and INC. Planners 4. Build Consensus about the Plan. Our proposed planning process involves broad-based participation that allows for people with various points of views and agendas to work together. We are highly skilled at working with communities to build consensus. Although differing views will always exist, we will use the public participation techniques described above to work through many of the key differences and, with you, develop a plan that meets the needs and desires of the community. In addition to those techniques described above, we have used many other public participation techniques and will review other possible techniques with the City. Proposal to City of Saint Joseph Page 12 Parks and Recreation Master Plan February 2008 SANDERS Landscape WACKER Architects BERGLY, and INC. Planners SIMILAR PROJECTS For nearly 30 years, a major focus of Sanders Wacker Bergly, Inc. has been park and recreation planning and design. The firm continues to be a leading parks and recreation consulting firm with extensive experience in all aspects of parks, recreation and trails planning. CITY OF FERGUS FALLS Sanders Wacker Bergly, Inc. has just begun work with the City of Little Falls Minnesota on the preparation of their Parks and Trail Plan. SWB is currently working closely with the City Staff, Park Board, Delagoon Task Force, stakeholders, and residents to obtain input and guidance. The planning work is being coordinated with the existing Comprehensive Plan, current community and neighborhood parks, athletic facilities, community leisure services, and trail planning. C1TY OF MAHTOMEDI SWB worked closely with City staff and the public to develop the City's first "standalone" Park System Plan. However, it incorporated the Park Commission's past planning efforts as appropriate. A brief overview of the process used to develop this Plan: The Park Commission met on a monthly basis with the SWB for roughly one year to help develop this Plan. This Plan provides a strong vision for the future of Mahtomedi's parks, open spaces, and trails and it sets goals, objectives, policies, and implementation strategies for attaining that vision. The Plan serves the following purposes. • Physical planning issues such as acquisition and development of parks, open spaces, and trails. • Social and economic issues. • It ties together the park, open space, and trail components of the City into a system plan. • Provides along-range vision that can serve the City through the year 2025, but it also address current issues. • It identifies key issues, sets goals, develops policies for achieving the goals, and describes actions needed to implement the policies. • It guides City Staff, the Park Commission, the Planning Commission, the City Council, landowners, acid private developers in decisions relating to parks, open spaces, and trails in the City. Proposal to City of Saint Joseph Page 13 Parks and Recreation Master Plan February 2008 SANDERS Landscape WACKER Architects BERGLY, and INC.

FOREST LAKE PARK SYSTEM PLAN SWB worked with the City of Forest Lake to author a plan that would help the City to develop and maintain parks, trails and open space system that meets the needs and desires of the can-ent and future residents of Forest Lake. The plan included the following objectives: • Determined how existing and future population characteristics will affect Forest Lake's parks and trails system through research of demographic data. • Analyzed existing parks and set goals for the park system. • Set goals and policies for the open space system. • Prepared implementation recommendations to assist the City prioritize and funding recommendations NEW SCANDIA TOWNSHIP COMPREHENSIVE PARKS, TRAILS, OPEN SPACE, AND RECREATION FACILITIES PLAN SWB prepared a document that analyzes all aspects of the existing system and that provides a strong plan for preserving open space while providing recreational opportunities for its residents. Tasks included: Inventory and analysis of parks, trails, and recreation facilities in the township and surrounding area; • Coordination of work with the school district, county, state, and private recreation facilities. Proposal to City of Saint Joseph Page 14 Parks and Recreation Master Plan February 2008 SANDERS Landscape WACKER Architects BERGLY, and INC. Planners • Analysis of the latest census data and incorporation of the findings throughout the Plan. • Public Participation - To ensure that the Plan is consistent with the needs and desires of its residents we conducted community open houses and conducted a community survey. • Vision, Goals, and Policies - We worked with the Parks and Recreation Committee, the Planning Commission, the Town Board, and residents to develop a vision and goals, and policies. • Land Acquisition identified areas for possible acquisition. • Funding and Implementation -Identification of responsible entities for implementing the Plan, and funding sources. CITY OF LITTLE CANADA PARK AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN Work is in progress on an Update to the Plan originally prepared by Sanders Wacker Bergly, Inc., in 1991 which has served the City well for the past l5 years. The plan will set forth a strategy for future development of the parks and recreation system, including parks, trails and bikeways. The plan includes an implementation plan and will establish priorities and phasing for future park development. In addition operation and maintenance will be an important component of the Plan and will continue to be a priority for the Park Commission. LAKE ELMO PARK RESERVE MASTER PLAN UPDATE Working closely with Washington County, we developed a master plan amendment for Lake Elmo Park Reserve, a 2000+ acre park in central Washington County. The master plan amendment meets the criteria set forth in the Metropolitan Recreation Open Space Development Guide/Policy Plan: Boundaries and Acquisition Costs; Stewardship Plan; Demand Forecast; Development Concept; Conflicts; Public Services; Operations; Citizen Participation; Public Awareness; Special Needs; and Natural Resources The master plan amendment reviews existing park development, evaluates and locates the remaining planned facilities and investigates potential new program areas. Some of the items considered included: integrating park trails with planned City of Lake Elmo trails; the addition of facilities, such as a nature center, lighted ski trails, self-guided nature trails, a fishing pier, general picnic area amenities, modern camp sites and minor boundary amendments. In addition, we are involved with the redevelopment of Minnehaha Park and Lake of the Isles Regional Parks and numerous community and neighborhood parks and trail systems.
