February 21, 2018 as presented. Motion passed unanimously.
4) Public Comments (on items not on the agenda): None.
5) City Council Update

6) Ditter Concept Plan – 2032-2052 Holy Name Drive
Gallup provided a brief staff report stating that Jim and Tom Ditter have requested review
of a concept plan for the potential subdivision of 4 parcels they own into 6 lots. Gallup
noted that the purpose of a concept plan is for the Park Commission to provide general
feedback on park or trail land dedication to the applicant before they put together a
formal application.
Gallup reviewed the Park Dedication Ordinance noting that this subdivision would allow
approximately 2.4 acres of land dedication, approximately $16,000 in cash, or a
combination.

It was noted that the Comprehensive Park and Trail plan do not identify any need for park
land in this area. It was also noted that there are no specific local trails identified on the
subject property, but the trail plan shows a north-south regional trail search corridor to
the west of this site. A brief discussion took place on using the subject property as an
alternative north-south location, but it was determined it would not work due to a large
wetland on the property to the north that would prevent connecting to Medina Road.
The general feedback to the applicant was that they would likely recommend taking cash-
in-lieu of park land or trail dedication.
7) City Park Funds – Overview of Park Dedication Fund & Municipal Park Fund
Gallup stated that our Park Commissioner Subcommittee consisting of Steve Lee and Liz
Weir met with Finance Director Erin Barnhart and Assistant City Administrator Jodi
Gallup to review the existing city park funds to look at ways to adequately budget future
park improvements.
Gallup provided the Park Commission with an overview of the City’s Park Dedication
Fund and Municipal Park Fund which are defined in the city’s annual budget document.
Gallup explained that the Park Dedication Fund is funded through new land subdivisions
and the money is only allowed to be spent on new park and trail development to meet the
needs of the new residents in the new land subdivisions. The Municipal Park Fund is
funded through donations, grants, and ball field rent. The revenues in this fund are not
adequate to support the future needs of the park and trail system. Gallup noted that the
Park Commission may find a need to request an annual dollar amount of the annual tax
levy to go toward the Municipal Park Fund to support the city’s future park and trail
needs.
Gallup reviewed the City’s capital asset document, which shows all assets over $5,000,
the year acquired, the cost of the asset at the time it was acquired, and the annual
depreciation of the asset. This document will be used to help the Park Commission
appropriately budget out the replacement of park assets over the next ten years.
Anderson stated that over the last decade, the money was flowing into the Park
Dedication Fund, which helped keep it self-sustaining. He stated now that development is
slowing down, the Park Commission may find that they need to request additional funds
from the City Council.
Lee stated that the City is at a point where we are still building new, but are now needing
to take care of the old park equipment as well.

The Park Commission discussed familiarizing themselves with the park assets and future
needs in each park prior to the May Park Tour. Jacob requested that the assets be sorted
by park.
Gallup explained that the Park Commission will be reviewing and updating the 2019-
2023 Capital Improvement Plan at their June meeting.
8) Staff Report
• 2018 Park Commission Goals – Gallup stated that this will be a reoccurring item
to continually review our goals and provide updates on progress made throughout
the year. Kingsley volunteered to be assigned to the Park at Fields of Medina.
• Park Commission Vacancy – Gallup reported that Lisa Cole has resigned from
the Park Commission, and we are looking to fill her vacant seat through the end of
2018. Lee stated that he has reached out to Lori Meehan, and she is willing to fill
Lisa Cole’s term through the end of 2018.
• Annual Park Tour – The Park Commission discussed the date and time for the
annual park tour and set the meeting for Wednesday, May 16, 2018 beginning at
4:30 p.m. at City Hall.
• General Items – Scherer reported that a resident had requested expanded tennis
facilities at Hamel Legion Park. Gallup reported that two organizations were
interested in leasing the tennis courts this summer. A brief discussion took place
regarding increasing the tennis court rental fee. Morrison explained paddle tennis
as a possible winter sport in Medina’s parks.

Program to review with the Park Commissioners. She asked for some general
feedback and will bring back an updated program at the June meeting.

project. The Park Commission was in support of the project and currently has $6,000
budgeted in the 2018 Capital Improvement Plan for the project.
The following general observations that were made during the park tour. All parks need
doggie bags and trash cans. Maintenance should include keeping baseball fields clear of
weeds and well defined. Metal and wood objects should be kept fresh with paint.
Playgrounds should revive mulch as needed. Broken equipment should be fixed or

Eagle Scout Service Project Proposal
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
Eagle Scout candidate's full legal name Mark Nicholas Richelsen
Eagle Scout Service Project Name Maple Park Pavilion
Eagle Scout Requirement 5
While a Life Scout, plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a service project helpful to any religious
institution, any school, or your community. (The project must benefit an organization other than Boy Scouting.) The
project proposal must be approved by the organization benefiting from the effort, your unit leader and unit
committee, and the council or district before you start. You must use the Eagle Scout Service Project Workbook, No.
512-927, in meeting this requirement.
Instructions for Preparing Your Proposal
Meeting the Five Tests of an Acceptable Eagle Scout Service Project
Your proposal must be prepared first. It is an overview, but also the beginnings of planning. It must show your unit leader,
unit committee, and council or district that your project can meet the following tests.
1. it provides sufficient opportunity to meet the Eagle Scout service project requirement. You must show that
planning, development, and leadership will take place; and how the three factors will benefit a religious
institution, a school, or your community.
2. It appears to be feasible. You must show the project is realistic for you to carry out.
3. Safety issues will be addressed. You must show you have an understanding of what must be done to guard
against injury, and what will be done if someone gets hurt.
4. Action steps for further detailed planning are included. You must make a list of the key steps you will take to
make sure your plan will have enough details so it can be carried out successfully.
S. You are on the right track with a reasonable chance for a positive experience.
When completing your proposal you only need enough detail to show a reviewer that you can meet the tests above. If
showing that you meet the tests requires a lengthy and complicated proposal, your project might be more complex than
necessary. Remember, the proposal is only the beginnings of planning. Most of your planning will come with the next step,
preparation of your project plan.
If your project does not require materials or supplies, etc., simply mark those spaces "not applicable." As a reminder, do not
begin any work, or raise any money, or obtain any materials, until your project proposal has been approved.
Consider also, that if you submit your proposal too close to your 18th birthday, it may not be approved in time to finish
planning and executing the project.
Working with Your Project Beneficiary
On the last two pages of this workbook there is an information sheet called, "Navigating the Eagle Scout Service Project."
This is for you to print and give to the religious institution, school, or community that will benefit from your efforts. You
should do this as part of your first meeting with your beneficiary and use the sheet to help explain how the Eagle Scout
service project works. Be sure to read it carefully so you can explain what it says.
"Navigating the Eagle Scout Service Project" will help you communicate a number of things to your beneficiary. For
example, it provides thanks and congratulations for accepting the project; and it gives some background, discusses the
requirements, and points out the responsibilities connected with approving your project proposal. It also explains that the
beneficiary has the right to review, and also to require changes in your project plan.
Again, be sure to read carefully "Navigating the Eagle Scout Service Project" so you will have a full understanding of the
role of your beneficiary.
Next Step: Your Project Plan
Once your proposal is approved, you are strongly encouraged to prepare your project plan using the form in this
workbook. Doing so increases the likelihood your project will be approved at your Eagle Scout board of review. As you
begin preparing it, you should meet with a project coach. Check with the person who handled the approval of your project
proposal to learn how coaches are designated in your community.
Your designated coach can help you avoid the common pitfalls associated with Eagle Scout service projects and be a big
part of your success. You may also want to talk to your unit leader. There may be adults in your troop who are experts in
conducting the kind of project you are planning. It's ok for you to work with them as well. The more coaching you get, the
better your results will be.
Beginning Work on Your Project
Once your proposal has been fully approved and you have finished your project planning, only then, may you begin work
on your project.
Proposal Page A Mark Nicholas Richelsen
Project Description and Benefit
Briefly describe your project.
Plan, design and build a pavilion with paver patio floor for public use at Maple Park, one of several City of Medina community
parks. The city has approved a pavilion for Maple Park and they will let me design and help build and finance the project. The
basic design is four posts on concrete footings that support a box frame. The roof structure is built upon the box frame - roof
peak beam, ribs, plywood, etc. Underneath the roof will be a paver patio floor.

I will get the building codes from the city and design the pavilion. The city must approve the design and issue a building permit
before work can begin. I planning on 1 month for city approval and permits.
Preliminary Cost Estimate
You do not need exact costs yet. Reviewers will just want to see if you can reasonably expect to raise enough money to cover an initial estimate of
expenses. Include the value of donated material, supplies, tools, and other items. It is not necessary to include the value of tools or other items that will
be loaned at no cost. Note that if your project requires a fundraising application, you do not need to submit it with your proposal.
Enter estimated expenses below: Fundraising: Explain how you will raise the money to pay for the total costs. If you intend to seek
(Include sales tax if applicable) donations of actual materials, supplies, etc., then explain how you plan to do that, too.
Materials:
Supplies:
Tools:
Other:
Total costs:
$1,000.00
$200.00
I plan to raise money from family and friends. I also plan to use the city's preferred
suppliers to secure discounts on materials as well as discounts that Lowes & Home
Depot offer to Boy Scouts for their Eagle Projects. Family and friends have all/most of
$100.00 the tools required. The city has budgeted $6,000 for materials and labor. My project
$200.00 will provide $1,500 and labor.
$1,500.00
Project Phases
Think of your project in terms of phases, and list what they might be. The first may be to prepare your project plan. Other phases
might include fundraising, preparation, execution, and reporting. You may have as many phases as you want, but it is not
necessary to become overly complicated; brief, one line descriptions are sufficient.
1. Receive approval from BSA and City of Medina
2. Complete detailed project plan & get design approval/permit from City of Medina
3. Fundraising
4. Schedule the project, ask for volunteers, create work teams and work plans
5. Get materials and supplies
6. Organize the job site
7. Build the pavilion and paver patio
8. Turnover, final inspection from the City of Medina
Proposal Page D Mark Nicholas Richelsen
Logistics Check with your council service center to determine if a Tour and Activity Plan is required.
How will you handle transportation of materials, supplies, tools, and helpers? Will you need a Tour and Activity Plan?
Volunteers will be responsible for their own transportation to the park. I will deliver most materials, tools and supplies to the job
site. The City of Medina will deliver heavy materials (cement, pavers, gravel, sand, etc.) to the job site. I will need a walk through
and work plan for my project.
Safety Issues The Guide to Safe Scouting is an important resource in considering safety issues.
Describe the hazards and safety concerns you and your helpers should be aware of.
There are three safety issues I need to address. First, the proper use of power tools (drills, saws) and sharp tools (saws, shingle
knives). Second, the proper lifting of heavy materials (bundles of shingles, 2x10 beams, plywood for the roof, paver bricks).
Third, working above ground level (ladders, installing beams, shingling the roof). Only adult scouts (returning Eagle Scouts from
college) and adult friends will be allowed to complete these tasks. I plan to meet with an experienced builder from my church to
find out more about safety for my project.
Project Planning You do not have to list every step, but it must be enough to show you have a reasonable idea of how to prepare your plan.
List some action steps you will take to prepare your project plan. For example "Complete a more detailed set of drawings."
1. Secure building code from the City of Medina.
2. Complete a detailed set of drawings/plans, submit to the city for approval/permit.
3. Site preparation: check for underground utilities, have city remove tree branches that over hang into the site.
4. Create activity/work plan for teams based on age/skill.
5. Finalize budget, material lists, tools list, supply list and who is bringing what.
6. Create job site layout drawing - work areas, material staging, break areas, etc.
7. Create project introduction, safety instruction, site review and helper expectations materials.

Subject: FW: Park Tour
Maple Park – We met an Eagle scout and his parents at the park. He is seeking our approval to support
his construction of a picnic pavilion at this park as his Eagle Scout project. All the commissioners were
enthusiastic about helping this scout but we need a plan to approve. He will meet with Steve, and
possibly Jodi, before our next meeting to provide detail plan for this project. We also have to finalize the
specific location for the pavilion and pave the parking lot later this year. In addition to our discussions
on the pavilion, we noticed that we need to clean up the ballfield so that all the grass in the infield is
removed. We also need to remove the dead pine trees along the road and a few of the other dead trees
that are on the west side of the park.
Lakeshore Park. We need to put a bench down by the lake on the east side of the window. We also need
to change some of the equipment in the playground so that older kids can use the park. There are two
rocking toys that are really for very little kids the area where the slide is also his very small kids in the
swings will not baby swings are for small kids there’s room for monkey bars or something else like that
in place of those two little Toy rides for tots. The toy ride for tots could be put somewhere else in the
park.
Park at the fields of Medina – they will complete the volleyball court shortly there a couple trees that
need to be replaced and the padding that his place at the bottom the swing sets should be considered
for other parks as it seems to hold up very well. The cost of such padding may be a little bit more up
front but the long‐term durability may save us a lot of money versus mulch.
Hamel Legion Park – the big issue is the billboards on the Little League Fields let’s discuss how we want
to adjust the rules in the future so that we’re not blocking the view of the residents that border the park
and we aren’t having extremely large and colorful advertisements.

Hunter Lions Park – we need to re‐level, repair and possibly repave the tennis court. The volley court has
to be cleared of weeds. It may need more sand filler too. It would be nice to purchase an easement to
connect the nature area to the trail just to the south of this park to bring us back to country Drive.
Morningside Park – we need to clean up the playground area of the concrete trim needs to be removed
with new trim around the Rea playground relayed also the mulch needs to be added in we should put
padding under the swing sets much like is singing at the fields on the Dino also the small pavilion please
be re‐stained otherwise the park is in great shape
All Parks need doggie bags and trash cans. Maintenance should include keeping baseballs fields clear of
weeds and well defined. Metal and wood objects should be kept fresh with paint. Playgrounds should
revive mulch as needed. Broken equipment should be fixed or replaced. Consistency of signs is desirable
where it makes sense. Benches should be clear of mold. Junk should be removed. Dead and dying trees
should be replaced.
Trees ‐ as we plant trees at the various parks or replace the dead trees let us review the inventory of
trees we currently have in consider the type of soil, position with the sun, potential insect infestation
and other diseases so it we select trees that have a high probability of success. Also consider tree
height, longevity, canopy spread when placing or replacing trees in the parks.
How much time and money must be budgeted for these maintenance items each year?

2. Park & Trail Master Plan
This plan was approved in March 2014, but should be reviewed annually for changes.
Please continue to bring this plan with to all future meetings to reference. A subset of this
item will be to:
- Review the trail plan to look at trail connections, topography, and safety.

Reserve from the east.
- Master Plan Subcommittee: Rumsey and Jacob
3. Review Park Dedication Revenues versus planned Park Improvements
Review Park Dedication revenues versus planned park improvements to make sure the
city is being good stewards of the limited funds set aside for future park improvements.
- Study the park dedication ordinance and evaluate if the calculation needs to be
updated.
- Look at other revenue sources such as grants, donations, or the City’s general
fund.
- Conduct a thorough review and overhaul of existing Park/Trail Capital
Improvement Plan.
- Update 2019-2023 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) at June and July meetings
after Spring Park Tour.
- Subcommittee: Lee and Weir
4. Create a Parks/Trails Donation Program
The City has a park bench donation program, but there is no formal written policy. The
Park Commission would like to create a more formal donation program policy to cover
all types of donations to the parks and trails such as land, easements, money, trees,
benches, playground equipment, etc. This policy could also address naming rights for
significant contributions or memorial plaques for smaller gifts.
- Subcommittee: Thies
5. Review Funding Policy for Ballfield Improvements
In 2010, the Park Commission established a funding policy for ball field lighting and
irrigation projects within our parks. The policy indicated that the City would pay a 25%
cost-share to help fund the construction of ball field lights and irrigation systems. This
policy needs to be evaluated to determine if 25% is the correct amount for a cost-share.
- Subcommittee: Weir and Lee
- Completed: Park Commission recommended changes on February 21, 2018.
City Council adopted changes on March 6, 2018.
6. Youth Park Commissioner Projects
This item is to allow the Youth Park Commissioners to come up with a specific project to

ation for Pfoject Benefrcic
Thank You and Congratulations
Congratulations on your selection as an Eagle Scout service project beneficiary, and thank you for the opportunity
you are making available to an Eagle Scout candidate. Support from community organizations is important to
Scouting —just as important as Scouting's contributions are to the community. Scouts provide important services,
and benefiting organizations such as yours provides a vehicle for personal growth.
The Eagle Scout Rank and the Service Project
Service to others is an important part of the Scout Oath: "... to help other people at all times." Each year tens of
thousands of young men strive to achieve the coveted Eagle Scout rank by applying character, citizenship, and
Scouting values in their daily lives. One of the rank requirements is to plan, develop, and give leadership to others in a
service project helpful to any religious institution, school, or community. Through this requirement, Scouts practice what
they have learned and gain valuable project management and leadership experience.
Typical Projects
There are thousands of possible Eagle Scout projects. Some involve building things, and others do not. There have
been all kinds: making birdhouses for an arboretum, conducting bicycle safety rodeos, constructing park picnic tables
or benches, upgrading hiking trails, planting trees, conducting well -planned blood drives, and on and on. Other than
the general limitations noted below, there are no specific requirements for project scope or for how many hours are
worked, and there is no requirement that a proje have lasting value. What is most important is the impact or benefit
the project will provide to your organization. In choosing a project, remember it must be something a group With
perhaps limited skills can accomplish under the leadership of your Eagle Scout candidate. If your Scout is to fulfill the
requirement, he must be the one to lead the project. It is important you work with him and not with his parents or
leaders.
Project Restrictions and Limitations
• Fundraising is permitted only for facilitating a project. Efforts that primarily collect money, even for worthy
charities, are not permitted.
• Routine labor, like a service a Scout may provide as part of his daily life such as mowing or weeding a church
lawn, is not normally appropriate. However, if project scale and impact are sufficient to require planning and
leadership, then it may be considered.
• Projects are not to be of a commercial nature or for a business, though some aspects of a business operation
provided as a service, such as a community park, may qualify.
• The Scout is not responsible for any maintenance of a project once it is completed.
Approving the Project Proposal and Project Scheduling
Once a potential project is identified, you must approve your Scout's proposal. Regular communications can make
this quick and easy, but be sure you have discussed and considered all aspects of the project with him and that he has
a clear understanding of your expectations and limitations. Keep in mind his proposal is merely an overview —not a
comprehensive project plan.
Some projects may take only a few weeks or months to plan and carry out, while others may take longer. Scouts
working toward the Eagle rank are typically busy, so scheduling flexibility may be important. The proposal must also
have several approvals, besides yours, before project planning occurs and work begins. Therefore, if a proposed
project must be completed by a certain rapidly approaching date, it may be a good idea to consider something
different. Remember, too, that all work must be completed before the Scout's 18th birthday.
Approving Project Plans
After his proposal is approved by the BSA local council, your Scout must develop a plan for implementing the project.
Before work begins, you should ask to see the plan. It may come in any format you desire or are willing to accept. It
could even be a detailed verbal description. That said, the BSA includes a "Project Plan" form in your Scout's Eagle
Scout Service Project Workbook, and we recommend that you ask your Scout to use it. If in your plan review you have
any concerns the project may run into trouble or not produce the results you want, do not hesitate to require
improvements before work begins,
Permits, Permissions, and Authorizations
• If the project requires building permits, etc., your Scout needs to know about them for his planning. However,
your organization must be responsible for all permitting. This is not a duty for the Scout.
• Your organization must sign any contracts.
• If digging is involved, it is your responsibility to locate, mark, and protect underground utilities as necessary.
• If you need approval from a committee, your organization's management, or a parent organization, etc., be sure
to allow additional time and let the Scout know if he is to assist with this.
Funding the Project
Eagle service projects often require fundraising. Donations of any money, materials, or services must be preapproved
by the BSA unless provided by your organization; by the Scout, his parents, or relatives; or by his troop or its chartered
organization. The Scout must make it clear to donors or fundraising event participants that the money is being raised
on the project beneficiary's behalf, and that the beneficiary will retain any leftover funds. If receipts are needed, your
organization must provide them. If your organization is not allowed to retain leftover funds, you should designate a
charity to receive them or turn them over to your Scout's unit.
Supervision
To meet the requirement to "give leadership to others," your Scout must be given every opportunity to succeed
independently without direct supervision. The Scout's troop must provide adults to assist or keep an eye on things,.
and your organization should also have someone available. The Scout, however, must provide the leadership
necessary for project completion without adult interference.
Safety
Through the proposal and planning process, the Scout will identify potential hazards and risks and outline strategies
to prevent and handle injuries or emergencies. Scouts as minors, however, cannot be held responsible for safety, Adults
must accept this responsibility. Property owners, for example, are responsible for issues and hazards related to their
property or employees and any other individuals or circumstances they would normally be responsible for
controlling. If during project execution you have any concerns about health and safety, please share them with the
Scout and his leaders so action may be taken. If necessary, you may stop work on the project until concerns are
resolved.
Project Execution and Approval
After the project has been carried out, your Scout will ask for your approval on his project report. The report will be
used in the final review of his qualifications for the Eagle Scout rank. If the Scout has met your reasonable
expectations, you should approve the project; if he has not, you should ask for corrections. This is not the time,
however, to request changes or additions beyond what was originally agreed,
The Eagle Scout service project is an accomplishment a Scout will always remember. Your reward will be a helpful
project and, more important, the knowledge you have contributed to a young man's growth_
