CITY OF SHAKOPEE MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator From: Mark Themig, Facilities and Recreation Director Meeting Date: March 16,2004 Subject: Parks and Recreation Planning Process INTRODUCTION The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board is recommending several planning processes in response to the information received in the Parks and Recreation community survey that was completed in the fall of 2003. City Council is asked to authorize the Advisory Board to undertake this process. BACKGROUND . In 2003, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommended to City Council that the City undertake a Parks and Recreation needs assessment of residents to get their opinion on Parks and Recreation services. In addition to their current satisfaction, the Advisory Board wanted feedback on future needs, as well as priorities of service should reductions become necessary. City Council appointed the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and a Citizen Task Force to develop the survey. City staff was responsible for working with the Task Force and Advisory Board to develop, refine, and finalize the survey questions. Council authorized an agreement with Scott County to develop and administer an internet based survey, which was conducted during October and November of 2003. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board reviewed the results at their December and January meetings, and met jointly with Council in a workshop on February 23, 2004. In order to provide focus for the discussion, staff and the Advisory Board developed the following four primarY conclusions: . Trails: The use of trails for biking and walking is the most common recreational facility use. Trails are also rated highest in terms if importance, and have the most support for future. improvements. . Natural Areas and Open Space: Acquisition of land for natural areas and open space is also a high priority, and deemed an important service. . Parks: Community Parks have the second highest park and recreation facility use, and are deemed to be more important than neighborhood parks. Respondents frequently cited the need for more parks as the City develops. . Community Center: 61% of respondents have used the Community Center, and expansion of the Community Center ranks third in support for improvements to the parks and recreation system. Indoor swimming, expanded cardio/strength training, and indoor playground are the three most desired amenities. Other Conclusions: . Condition of Parks: Comments on the condition and quality of maintenance for parks and other recreation facilities varied considerably. However, in summarizing the open-ended responses, there appears to be a need for more maintenance in both larger community parks and sports complexes. . Aquatic Park: Respondents commented that the Aquatic Park building needs to be replaced. . Ice Arena: Second sheet and better heating were the most frequent requests. . Recreation Programs: Overall, respondents were mostly satisfied with the quality of Recreation Programs (with 1 being not satisfied and 5 being very satisfied, the mean score was 3.52). . Sports Association Programs: Respondents were also mostly satisfied with the quality of sports association programs (with 1 being not satisfied and 5 being very satisfied, the mean score was 3.57). . Promotion of Services: Most respondents would prefer to get information on our programs and services in a quarterly brochure. However, there were a significant number of responses in various categories that indicate residents don't know about all of our services. . Online Registration: 66% of respondents indicated that they would register for programs online if we would provide this service. RECOMMENDED FUTURE ACTION The Advisory Board is recommending the following steps be taken to respond to the primary conclusions form the survey: Trails . Update the City's trail plan to reflect the growth that has occurred since 1998 (the last update), and to provide vision for the future. . Continue to require trails and trail connections as development occurs. . Identify breaks in existing trails and plan for those connections. Acquisition of Landfor Open Space, Natural Areas, and Active Park Areas . Update the City's Park Master Plan to reflect the growthand parkland acquisition that has occurred since 1998 (the last update). . Identify search areas or specific parcels of land for potential acquisition either through purchase or through the development process. Community Center . Review. the plans that were developed as part of the 1999 referendums. . Analyze the options for providing enhanced services. . Bring forward an updated plan and recommendation for City Council consideration. Community and Neighborhood Parks . Continue to plan for development and redevelopment of community and neighborhood parks as part of the annual Capital Improvement Program. . Reconsider those undeveloped parks that may have been overlooked for several years. Park Maintenance . In further analysis of the survey results and discussion with Public Works, there may be a desire to develop a park maintenance standards program. Since the.park and trail master plan updates won't likely begin until after the City's comprehensive and transportation plan updates are complete, the Advisory Board recommended that the City begin work on the Community Center plan first. They also recommended that a Citizen Task Force be formed to assist them in this process, and that members of the Survey Task Force be invited to participate, along with any others who may be interested. REQUESTED ACTION If City Council concurs, move to accept the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board's recommendation to begin work on a process that would analyze and develop options and for enhancing the Community Center, and.establish a citizen task force to assist them in this process. ~~~ Mark Themig .
