CITY OF SHAKOPEE
MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
From: Mark Themig, Facilities and Recreation Director
Meeting Date: September 30, 2003
Subject: Soccer Facility Irrigation
INTRODUCTION
City Council is asked to provide direction to staff on a possible change in the soccer facility
irrigation system that would provide irrigation outside of the play areas.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The soccer facility irrigation system was designed to primarily irrigate the play areas, leaving
the perimeter of the site without irrigation (see Attachment A). Throughout our continued
communication with adjacent residents, one of the questions they have asked was why the
perimeter of the site isn't irrigated.
In general, the City has provided irrigation primarily in sports facilities, such as ball fields, the
football field, etc. However, there are two examples where irrigation has been provided in
more general park use areas: around the skate park and in portions of Lions Park adjacent to
the picnic pavilions and bathrooms. (The Lions Club installed the irrigation at Lions Park.)
Installing irrigation around the perimeter of the soccer complex would help provide a more
uniform turf area throughout the site, and it would provide water for a majority of the trees
being planted on the site reducing watering needs for Park Maintenance staff. However, it is
a variation from how we have handled most non-play turf in the past.
Finally, as you know, the irrigation system is a cooperative effort with Shakopee Area
Catholic Education Center where we are sharing a single irrigation well. One of the concerns
that SACEC expressed during the design of the irrigation system was that there be enough
capacity in the system to accommodate the future development of approximately ten acres
south of their school site. Even with the current system, it will take more than 12 hours to
water all of the City's and SACEC's property if it's done consecutively. In order to
accommodate an additional ten acres, we will need to look at options such as alternate
watering days, watering later into the morning, etc. As I understand, there is no timeline for
developing these 10 acres; however, I wanted to acknowledge this concern.
BUDGET IMPACT
S.M. Hentges & Sons has provided a quote to add this irrigation at a cost of $11,973.15. The
2003 CIP allocated $660,000 for this project. The updated project budget is as follows:

AL TERNA TIVES
1. Authorize additional irrigation to incorporate the perimeter of the site, and award a
change in favor of S. M. Hentges & Sons in the amount of $11 ,937.15 for this work.

RECOMMENDATION
Although this is an optional improvement, I believe that installing the additional irrigation
system will improve the overall quality of the site. I recommend Alternative #1.

S.M. Hentges & Sons in the amount of $11 ,937.15.
