9.e) Lilleskogen Park Improvements/ Proposal to Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District
Meeting Date: 3/17/2009 Agenda Item: � ��j ' ./ City Council Agenda Report City of Scandia 14727 209th St. North Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 Action Requested: Authorize applications to the Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District (CMSCWD) and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to help fund improvements to Lilleskogen Park. Deadline/ Timeline: N/A Background: • Lilleskogen Park, formerly known as Old Lions Park, is located at the southeast corner of Highway 97 and Oakhill Rd. A plan for the restoration and development of the park was completed in early 2008 (see attached graphics.) • Development of this park has been the top priority of the Park and Recreation Committee. The park is seen as the gateway to the village center, with good connections to pedestrian access and to the Scandia�Elementary School. • The Capital Improvement Plan shows that development of the park, estimated at around $266,000, would be funded over the course of at least four years. The 2009 budget for the Parks Capital Improvement Fund shows up to $40,000 to be spent for the first phase of the plan, which includes the engineering and construction of a water control structure. The water control structure is essential to the restoration of the wetland and establishing the location of future trails. • The Parks Fund receives revenue from park dedication fees, which must be spent only for the acquisition and development of parks. The balance in the fund (as of 3/1/09) is $34,681. Revenue projections for the next several years are very low due to the lack of land subdivision activity. • The Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District has been interested in the City's plans for Lilleskogen, particularly the wetland restoration efforts, and earmarked $7,500 in its 2009 budget to assist with the project. • A proposal was received from SRF (the firm that prepared the park plan) for the engineering work required to design the water control structure, and for subsequent tasks to prepare the wetland restoration plan and oversee construction of the water control Page 1 of 2 03/09/09 structure. Tlle Parks Cominittee has recommended that the city initially contract for tasks 1 through 3, and establish a budget of $15,000 for the engineering and design work. After the design work is completed, quotes can be sought for the construction work, which is estimated at about $]0,000. This project would be submitted to CMSCWD with a request for a $7,500 grant. • After the first phase of construction is complete, the next step would be the wetland restoration plan. Depending upon the cost of the water control structure and the watershed's participation, there may be funds remaining in the Park Capital Fund to proceed with this next task. A �natching DNR grant, and volunteer participation, could help stretch the city's dollars. • The DNR grant program (see attached description) can provide funding for restoration activities for sites within Metropolitan Conservation Corridors. The Lilleskogen project should meet the grant criteria as activities that establish or support native plant cominunities,based on sound ecological principles. The DNR requires an "expression of interest"by May I 5; funding is still subject to state legislative approval. Recommendation: The Park and Recreation Committee recommended making a proposal to the CMSCWD for their participation in the design and construction of the water control structure with a contribution of$7,500. I recommend that the Council also give approval to submit a letter of interest to the DNR for the Metro Greenway Restoration Grant. If the proposal is accepted by CMSCWD, City Council approval of a grant ageement and of the SRF proposal would be required before work could begin. Any grant ageement with the DNR would also require Council approval. Attachments/ • Graphics from Lilleskogen Park Plan Mater'tals provided: .

PROJECT BACKGROUND/UNDERSTANDING In March 2008, SRF Consulting Group and Critical Connections Ecological Services submitted a restoration and management plan for Lilleskogen Park in the City of Scandia. The report provided recommendations for restoring wetland and vegetation areas as well as implementing site improvements within the park. The master plan included a recommendation far partial hydrologic restoration of wetland systems within the park, which involves the installation of a water control structure. In addition, the plan recommended that reed canary grass should be aggressively treated and managed with herbicides and prescribed burning, followed by flooding and reseeding with natives. This proposal addresses the preliminary and final design of the water control structure and wedand restoration activities. We understand that this project may be jointly funded and implemented by the City of Scandia and the Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District (CMSCWD). With that in mind, design of the control structure and the wetland restoration plan will be coordinated with both agencies. In addition, the appropriate permit from the CMSCWD will need to be obtained. We have assumed that the City will need SRF Consulting Group, Inc's assistance to prepare final plans, specifications and contract documents far the water control structure. We have not included construction administration or in-construction services in this proposal, but we can assist the City with construction services on an as-needed basis. Scope and fees for this task can be negotiated with you once the project design phase is underway. THE SRF TEAM We have selected a design team for their specific experience in water resources and wetland restoration. Walter Eshenaur, P.E., an experienced water resources engineer, will manage this project with the assistance of Ryan Jones, P.E., who is specifically skilled in the design of water control structures. Jeff Olson, MnCWP, a Wetland Scientist/Botanist with over 18 years experience in wetland restoration will lead the wetland restoration and invasive species control effort. www.srfconsulting.com One Carlson Park���ay North, Suile 150 � 1linneapolic, ,\1N 5544?-4a43 � 7�3.475.UU1O fax:7�3.A75.2429 Ait Eq���rl O��purtuuitU Fmylnyrr Meh-o Gree�Iways,Restoration Grants: Mi�Inesota DNR Page 1 of� ����� Restoratian G�rants �� � 1''S,� '� �:�,�:` `�,��''t z. -.y- o -:��� 'ee�����a��s ', � L:...,:� • � ,.. . � ' � ... ._ .
