CITY OF MUSKEGO Staff Report to Parks Conservation Committee May 5, 2015 Meeting To:Parks & Conservation Committee From: Jeff Muenkel, AICP Subject:Aster Hills Estates Neighborhood Park Planning Date: May 1, 2015 Background Information: As the Board may recall we have approved the consultant Graef to complete the planning for the new park within the Aster Hills Estates Subdivision to be developed later this year. Graef presented some conceptual plans earlier this year that the Committee had some preliminary comments on. We now have attached the final renderings based on the previous Committee comments and based upon the geotechnical investigations that were completed. The Committee will see that sufficient area is now found for all originally requested aspects of the park including: Parking area (maximized to accommodate an initial 40 spaces) Playground area for 2-5 yr. olds and for 5-12 yr. olds Space for a 24’x50’ pavilion Area for a natural sledding hill Turf area for miscellaneous park activities (Sized to accommodate official soccer and baseball fields in future if need arises) Various pathways Stormwater management area Graef also provided the possible costs for making this new park a reality. Please find these numbers attached. The numbers show that the park could be upwards of $825,600. However, please note that various contingencies are added in and the numbers do also include some upgrades such as an enhanced playground surface. Staff will use these numbers at a future Committee meeting this year when we make recommendation to the Council on what capital projects we may want considered for the Council’s 2016 budget year. This budget meeting will most likely take place at one of our upcoming summer meetings. Recommendation for Action: At this time we would like Committee review of these plans and any last request for changes/additions. Otherwise a recommendation of approval and we will then simply wait until our budget discussions to determine what portions of the park we would like developed in the upcoming year.

Excused: Dave Castona, Julie Kronenburg, Tom Kronenburg, Carla Regini, Joe Thibedeau Absent: None Reading of the Minutes: Karen Thibedeau Minutes from January were distributed. Corrections were made. Scott Lago made a motion to approve the minutes with corrections. Wally Spitzer seconded. Motion carried. Treasurer's Report: Glenda Holm February financial report was distributed and discussed. Julie Lago made a motion to accept the treasurer report. Wally Spitzer seconded. Motion carried. Vice-Chairman's Report: Bob Bankenbusch Nothing to report at this time. Committee Reports Grounds/Security: Julie Lago Nothing to report at this time. Parking: Tom Kronenburg Not present to report. Entertainment: Scott Lago Friday in the food court will be Whiskey Belles, a 3-piece female group. Saturday in the food court from 3:30p-7:30p will be a local country band, Bar Dog Sitters. Saturday on the main stage from 7:30p o 11:30p will be the Love Monkeys. Sunday in the food court will be Muskego’s Got Talent. Scott still looking for an act to be in the main tent to start after the parade on Sunday. Alligator wrestling show secured. Parade: Chuck Azzolina No Grand Marshall or theme presented by MAA, honored group. Kurt said they have a meeting the next night and he will email Chuck and also present at the April meeting. Chuck will upload the new registration form. Food and Space: Jeff Baker Gary Stewart and Jeff Baker are working on a flat rate as an appropriate charge for space. Thought was to possibly name smaller vendors ‘specialty’ vendors to keep costs more reasonable so they don’t struggle with a flat fee. They cautioned that there could be turnover of vendors due to change to a flat rate. Jeff searched other festival sites and it appears our electric charge is too low; he will figure out what should be charged just to recover the electrical fee. Gary asked Glenda if booth fees could be categorized/divided; also grounds and merchandise. This would provide a better understanding of what is charged and what is earned. Beer Tent: Bob Bankenbusch Nothing to report at this time. Publicity: Wally Spitzer Tried several different search engines and there are still problems getting to our festival website; he is still working on it. Wally is working with the Chamber of Commerce on the Value Mailing insert information; the cost will be $200 and they will be mailed to Muskego and New Berlin residents. Jeff Baker asked Wally if he could please edit the website to reflect that he is now Food and Space Chairperson. Ticket Sales: Kurt Barry Kurt reported that for 50,000 tickets the cost range would be $287-$881; we can pick the color, style, have festival name printed on them. He said finding a local printer is a possibility. More committee members preferred the pad to a roll. Jeff Hoeser checked into coins to use instead of tickets: wooden ones are about 11cents each, plastic ones are about 16 cents each. The committee asked Jeff to draft a proposal for the coins/tokens. Further discussion to be tabled until April meeting. Members are asked to bring additional questions or thoughts for further discussion. Volunteer Hours: Terri Hudziak Terri communicated that if there is a change from traditional tickets, not as many sellers will be needed and volunteer hours will need to distributed or cut back. The Woman’s Club will still print and mail out sponsorship letters. City Representative: Kevin Kubacki Kevin was happy to hear that the festival received the city’s donation. He discussed the city’s need for the storage facility in the pavilion at the park. Scott discussed the initial construction of pavilion and the purpose. Kevin provided a cost data sheet for Veteran’s Park outlining the costs and who paid for each item. Festival records show agreement between Muskego Finance Director and the festival stating that the festival has exclusive rights to the storage facility for as long as the festival exists and/or the life of the structure. Each party has conflicting documentation. Old Business: Jeff B. asked Scott if he could talk to Chuck from the carnival regarding carnival trailers and where they should park. Now that the snow is gone, an assessment of the grounds should be made, consider parking on Pioneer Drive an option in lieu of parking on the grass. This includes cars from festival goers. A decision whether or not to change where the parking of the cars will be should be decided upon by May. The committee discussed the proposal from Ron Lucas, Muskego’s Got Talent coordinator, for financial support of the event; Mr. Lucas presented this event as providing entertainment for the festival. Suggestion was presented that if Mr. Lucas could secure a sponsor, the festival would gladly help with promoting the event and sponsor, but would not contribute a financial donation. At this writing, the committee has decided not to offer financial support. New Business: None at this time . Festival dates are August 27th through 30th. Jammin on Janesville will be June 5th and August 7th which will be a great time to promote festival. Motion to adjourn meeting at 8:45p was made by Julie Lago. Motion seconded by Jeff Hoeser. Motion carried. Next meeting is April 21, at 7pm. Respectfully submitted, Karen Thibedeau Secretary CITY OF MUSKEGO Staff Report to Parks and Conservation Committee To: Parks and Conservation Committee From: Tammy Dunn, Recreation Manager Subject: Lions Club Pavilion Storage Agreement with the Festival Committee Date: April 23, 2015 The agreement made between the City and the Festival Committee for the exclusive use rights for the main storage area in the Lions Club Pavilion at Veterans Memorial Park, which was in effect from July 1, 2005, will be expiring on June 30, 2015. As this agreement is expiring, I am suggesting we grant an extension of the agreement through the end of this year, with the new end date being December 31, 2015. During the extension period we will work with the Festival Committee and their respresentatives, as well as the Council Representative on the Festival Committee to make the appropriate changes to the agreement and then bring the newly formatted agreement to Council for approval. We are relying on the members of the former Parks and Recreation Board to assist us with some of the history of this agreement. Attached is signed agreement and the Common Council Resolution.

Preamble A. Properties. Although neither party warrants title to the other, the City is believed to be the owner of a property known as Park Arthur, further identified by Tax Key Number MSKC2173993 (the “Park”); and the Stable Owner is believed to be the owner of property located next to the park addressed as S36W17271 College Avenue, known as Tax Key Number MSKC 2173998 (the “Stable Property”).

It is further the intention of the City and the Stable Owner that the Park Equestrian Trail shall be a City facility, open to the general public. C. Consideration.

Such items don’t require committee action but can certainly be discussed during the Miscellaneous Business portion of the meeting. 1. New Parks and Conservation Plan: Now that the new Committee is set we are looking at a timeline to begin the new Parks and Conservation Plan starting in August 2016 with an anticipated completion date of summer 2016. Such a timeline will allow for the Council to consider any proposals from the Plan during their 2017 budget discussions during the Fall of 2016. Staff is excited to get this process going as we have found many new initiatives we intend to inject into a new Plan now that we have the individual expertise of staff from the separate realms of recreation, maintenance, conservation, and planning. CITY OF MUSKEGO Staff Report to Parks and Conservation Committee To: Parks and Conservation Committee From: David Simpson, P.E., Director of Public Works/City Engineer Subject: Director of Public Works Report Date: April 27, 2015 I have included general information and project specific updates related to Parks maintenance for your use. Should any questions arise please don’t hesitate to contact me directly. General Maintenance  Mowing, grounds maintenance, and weed eradication bids have been received for the 2015 season. Fox Services LLC has been awarded the contracts for Lawn Mowing and Grounds Maintenance. Their bid price actually placed them as the second lowest bidder behind Shawn Roberts, however, based on performance and quality of work received from Shawn Roberts previously we did not award the contract to them this year.  The City’s refuse and recycling hauling contract is expiring at the end of 2015. We will be discussing any potential changes to the City’s contract at the upcoming Public Works Committee meeting. If you have any potential requested changes to the existing collection in Parks please let me know. Facilities  Horn Park Building- Demolition of the oldest portion of this building is planned for this spring. DPW crews will complete demolition and contractors will be hired to complete the plumbing, electrical, and new wall construction. Schedule is not yet determined.  The Committee of the Whole had initial discussion regarding the possibility of expanding the Department of Public Works garage and decommissioning the Parks Headquarters building and the Boxhorn Warehouse. The Common Council has approved moving ahead with a conceptual analysis to determine if this is a feasible option. It is envisioned that these discussions will take place during the budget process this year. 2015 Park Improvements  Lions Park- A pickleball court will be added to Lions Park during this construction season. Stark Asphalt was awarded this contract and we hope that it will be built in late May or early June. DPW staff will be installing a permanent net prior to commencement of paving.  Denoon Park- All roadways, parking lots, and the basketball court will be resurfaced in conjunction with the 2015 road program. Additionally, two areas of pavement are being added to the narrow roadway that leads to the boat launch to allow an area for vehicles to pass. DPW will be completing all Page 1 of 2 turf restoration as part of this project. A detailed schedule is not yet known for this improvement.  Park Arthur- A paved pathway leading from the north parking lot to the three northern baseball fields and back to the pavilion will be installed in conjunction with the 2015 road program. Concrete pads will be added to the dugouts of the large field as a separately quoted project. It is anticipated that this work will occur in late May or early June except for the concrete dugouts which will have to wait until after the baseball season. Page 2 of 2 Memo To: Parks and Conservation Committee From: Tom Zagar CC: Jeff Muenkel, Dave Simpson, Tammy Dunn Date: April 28, 2015 RE: Conservation Coordinator Report for May 5 meeting 1. Park Arthur Volunteer Tree Planting Project On Arbor Day, April 24, eleven students and an instructor from the GPS education program assisted staff in planting 25 trees at Park Arthur. We are very appreciative for this group’s help on this and previous conservation projects in the community! We also appreciate the offer of MAA to help with this project but it was a better fit with our busy spring schedule to complete this project during regular work week hours. We could still use help from MAA in the follow up care such as mulching and watering. Thanks are also due to DPW/Parks staff for their work in receiving the tree delivery and preparing the planting holes. This civic event helps Muskego retain its Tree City USA designation! 2. Potential Closure of Little Muskego Lake Hillview Drive Boat Launch in 2015. As noted at the last meeting, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources discovered an invasive plant (technically an alga) called Starry Stonewort growing in an area immediately east of the Hillview Drive boat launch on Little Muskego Lake. Lake District personnel and City staff have been working with the DNR and SEWRPC on plans to contain, control, and with any luck possibly even eradicate the Starry Stonewort. It was earlier noted that the City would only close this launch to accommodate management and reduce spread of this plant if so requested by the DNR. In the April 27 management meeting the DNR representative stated that Department’s general position was not to restrict public access to public waterways. However DNR would not provide a directive on this issue – leaving the decision up to local management. My professional advice is to keep the launch open at this time but close the launch if it becomes apparent that it would be beneficial to assist management and significantly reduce spread. 3. Starry Stonewort Informational Signage and Buoy Placement Staff placed invasive species signage at the various launch sites and prepared 5 informational buoys to be placed in the affected bay to request avoidance by boaters. 4. Conservation Management Prescribed burning was completed at Luther Parker Cemetery as well as the oak savanna restorations at Badertscher Preserve and Blattner Preserve. Removal of invasive shrubs was conducted at the oak savanna sites prior to burning. Community Development Department CITY OF MUSKEGO Staff Report to Parks & Conservation Committee May 5, 2015 Meeting To: Parks & Conservation Committee From: Tammy Dunn, Recreation Manager Subject: Recreation Program Miscellaneous Updates Date: April 27, 2015 Please find the following items in relation to various recreation programs/activities in the city. Such items don’t require committee action but can certainly be discussed during the Miscellaneous Business portion of the meeting. 1. Summer Program Guide is out and registration started on Monday, April 20. We had one of the highest, if not, the highest first day of a session registration, taking in just over $61,000 in the first 24 hours of registration. 2. Attendants will start working at Idle Isle on May 2. We will have limited staffing, weekends only, until May 11. We will then have staff on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday evenings (for Water Bug practices/show), Fridays 3:30-8:30PM and Saturdays/Sundays 7AM-7PM. 3. Park Ranger will begin working in early May. Most job responsibilities will stay the same as in the past, but will now include more of a presence at Water Bug shows on Wednesdays and with weekend rentals.
