Council: Beniek reported that a fire pumper tanker is being looked at to purchase in 2022. The other
departments are finalizing their budgets.
Hollow Park:Swing seats are on order; weeds have been sprayed several times and for the last time (product
is safe for pest and humans after it dries); it’s been a bad year for weeds; product comes from Cold Spring
Coop; slide can’t be fixed, it is warped from the sun; looking at cost for smaller kite type shade to be put in; the
border is fine, will look at new once this one starts falling apart.
All parks need wood chips, see what is left at the end of the year for budget.
Klinefelter Park: walking path was the main concern from survey; quotes are being given for the redo and
possibly widening ofthe path (20+ years old). CityEngineer recommended grinding up the old as a base and
then new asphalt. Other results of the study included more security/police presence, cameras, and lighting in
the parking lot and around the trail; restrooms. The Park Board’s top priorities are: 1. Restrooms since money
is already set aside, discussion on where: connected to shelter or at gravel opening to park; 2. Walking path; 3.
Lighting; 4. shade
Centennial Park:Vandalism and trash continues to be an issue. Will put a trash bin closer to the basketball
court. Look at getting better lightning in the park. Post Park Rules and Ordinances as well as park times.
Community gathering, possibly a BBQ. Park attendant or adopt a park program. Discussion on the lack of use
of the volleyball court, for volleyball, used for digging holes instead. Possibly putting a basketball court instead.
Millstream Ball Fields:Ryan is getting estimates on removal of fencing. Short discussion on what to do with the
fields, fix and keep or put something else in there. Phase one is to take care of fencing and asphalt. Discussion
of keeping one ball field and possibly putting in pickleball courts and/or splash pad where the other one is
Mountain Bike Trails: Keller reported that the local bike club can’t take on any more trails in the near future.
Talked about looking into a Pump Track, partnering with Pineview Park. Lyon will look into that.
East Park: application was submitted for regional designation, there are also other avenues for funds if
Regional designation is not successful.
SnowFest: January 28-30 due to full moon

PROJECT NUMBER:PROJECT CATEGORY:
JUSTIFICATION:
Millstream Park was identified as a community park and was given a medium priority for implementation in the Parks
and Trails System Plan. The Park Board identified the need for an informal Master Park Plan. The park includes a
new year-round shelter (2017), 2 softball fields, basketball court, beach volleyball court, phase 1 dog park (2017
built), soccer field, play equipment, disc golf course, river walk. Phase 2 and 3 of the dog park will be constructed
when donations are received (see PTR-14). A performance stage is scheduled when funds are available. Softball
leagues continue through the St. Joseph Rec Assn. If not enough teams sign up for the league, softball may be
discontinued. Only the east field is being used due to issues on the west field. Significant storm water improvements
are needed along with updates to the shelter and bleachers are needed for the fields.
In addtion to park features, Maintenance suggests the following improvements: irrigation system near the pavilion
($8,000), replace paved parking/storm sewer by softball fields ($593,000), security camera inside shelter ($29,000).

Northland Park was identified as a neighborhood park and was given a medium priority for implementation in the

the park. Northland Park play equipment was replaced in 2008 and 2012. A Little Library and Foot Golf were
added in 2015. The
future budget includes paving the trail inside the park. The Park Board scheduled the trail at the time Northland

JUSTIFICATION:
Klinefelter Park was identified as a community park and was given a medium priority for implementation in the Parks
and Trails System Plan. Klinefelter Park will need a Master Park Plan that may be able to be completed by City Staff.
The Park Board proposed adding restroom facilities as funds are available. Currently, a portable toilet is added to the
park seasonally. The restroom facilities proposed provides for sanitary sewer and water main extensions from Graceview
Estates into the park to serve a prefabricated restroom structure. \[$48,100 site improvements; $125,000 pre-fabricated
bathroom facility; $37,100 soft costs ~ 2012 rates\] Local option sales tax funds cannot be used for this project since the
park is not considered regional (as previously determined by the Park Board). The Park Board would also like to add a
gazebo sitting area and connecting trail if funds are available. This could be added with the restrooms or as a separate
project. Added to the 2022 budget with the restrooms. In
addition, the following maintenance projects are needed: repave trail ($100,000), replace play equipment ($45,000),
remove pea rock and install engineered wood chips to be ADA compliant ($6,000).

PROJECT NUMBER:PROJECT CATEGORY:
JUSTIFICATION:
The Wobegon Trail is budgeted and maintained through Stearns County. The City is included on planning for
trail or trailhead extensions/modifications. The Park Board did not allocate any funding to the Wobegon Trail
or Trailhead facility in the 5-year CIP. The Parks and Trails System Plan listed Wobegon Trail connections
from low to high priority; however, no funds were allocated directly to the Wobegon Trail.
The City Engineer budgeted funds for paving the South Parking Lot at the Wobegon Welcome Center. More
detail is available under the City Engineer's CIP. The
Cities of Waite Park and St. Joseph approved the addition of a bike share program where a bike can be rented in
either city to use along the trail. The city received a State SHIP grant to help fund the project. The CVB is
looking at a trailhead wayfair sign under their budget. Due to vandalism experienced at the shelter, cameras
installed in the shelter to assist in reducing crime.

JUSTIFICATION:
Memorial Park was identified as a special use park and was given a low priority for implementation in the Parks

Staff. Current park features include a baseball field with electronic scoreboard and concessions, hockey
rink/skate park, sledding hill, leisure skating rink and warming house. In the future, the St. Joseph Saints would
like to add lighting to the ball field.
The parking area was repaved in 2020. The old skate park equipment was placed in the hockey rink in 2019-
2021 to monitor use. The Park Board will search for a new site with the potential of adding new equipment. The
current equipment is degraded and near the end of its useful life. See CIP form PTR-15 for skate park funding.

JUSTIFICATION:
Centennial Park was identified as a community park and was given a high priority for implementation in the
Parks and Trails System Plan. Centennial Park was given a high priority to add features to the Park for
residents that rent the pavilion and to finish developing the Park since it already was started in previous years.
Centennial Park will need a Master Park Plan that might be completed by City Staff.
The Park Board purchase new playground equipment for pre-K through teens in 2011. In addition, Public
Works did the necessary grading on the park to set it up for future park planning. Fencing was added in the
park in 2017. Centennial Park also includes a picnic area, shelter, restrooms, sand volleyball, horse shoes and
basketball. Maintenance staff recommends replacing the old picnic tables inside the shelter ($5,000) and
adding irrigation to the entire park ($6,000). Security cameras propose for 2022 to deter vandalism. The past
Rec Director suggested adding toddler play equipment to the park to serve the younger kids.

JUSTIFICATION:
Monument Park was identified as a special use park and was given a high priority for implementation in the
Parks and Trails System Plan. Monument Park will need a Construction Plan to determine where the trail
connection should go. The Park Board researched available grants and quotes to make needed repairs for the
park through the local, state and national historical societies. The repairs to the monument are estimated to
be $45,000-$55,000. The Legacy grant adds $150,000-$200,000 to the cost of the repairs as contractors
indicated the regulations add much to the costs. The Park Board determined the Legacy grant is not an
option that can be used. The Park Board will request the City's help to fund the repairs through other
means. Council approved the 2021 budget to use Debt Service Reserve funds to complete the needed
repairs.

JUSTIFICATION:
East Park was identified as a regional park and was given a low priority for implementation in the Parks and Trails
System Plan. The Park Board accepted a Master Park Plan for East Park in 2018. The City applied for 2020 State
Bonding funds ($300,000) to begin construction of the canoe landing/picnic area/parking lot/bathrooms. The bond was
not awarded. Council accepted a quote for a 3-year plan for reforestation and prairie development in fall 2018. In
2021, the city applied for State regional designation. The designation opens up potential funding for Legacy Parks and
Trails grants (and other state/federal grants). East Park development is planned into two phases. The first phase
includes the plantings, canoe launch and dock, paving of the canoe parking area and shelter. The reserved park
dedication funding remaining was received from ARCON to go towards the park development. ARCON donated the
92+ acres along with $50,000 park dedication fees. The plantings were paid for out of these fees. The park
development timeline is an estimate and depends upon grant funding. Local option sales tax can also be used towards
this park as it is considered regional by the city standards.
