ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Discussion of the Outdoor Pool renovation options as determined by the Outdoor Pool Task
Force.
I. RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Discuss and suggest further action.
II. BACKGROUND
Under Council direction, staff assembled an Outdoor Pool Task Force to discuss
the options for the Richfield Outdoor Pool. Over the last seven months, the group
has toured the facility, reviewed a study performed by Water Technology, Inc. in
1997, and interviewed the managers of area outdoor pools.
The Task Force has identified four possible options for renovation of the Outdoor
Pool. The options are progressively more comprehensive and are designed to be
phased in, if such a course of action is chosen.
The group intends to conduct surveys in the future to get reaction about possible
pool renovation options and has discussed their findings with the Community
Services Commission. Now, the group seeks feedback from the City Council
before they proceed further.

ITEM FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION:
Discussion of the proposal to construct a skate park in cooperation with the Cities of Edina and
Bloomington and the Southdale YMCA.
L RECOMMENDED ACTION:
None. Discussion Only
III. BACKGROUND
At the goal-setting session in January 2000, the Council directed Recreation
Services staff to investigate the feasibility of constructing a skate park in Richfield.
Since then, Recreation. Services Director Jim Topitzhofer has been working with
the Community Services Commission on this task and a viable opportunity has
surfaced.
w
Jim has been meeting with the Cities of Bloomington and Edina and the Southdale
YMCA to pursue a possible partnership in jointly building a skate park. Although a
concept for the facility has not been formulated, the cooperative has agreed that the
best scenario would be to invite the Southdale YMCA to operate the skate park and
to locate it near the YMCA at Adams Hill Park in Richfield or adjacent Yorktown.
Park in Edina. This location was determined to be ideal because of proximity to all
three municipalities and the Southdale YMCA. The partnership is attractive to the.
City of Richfield because of the relative affordability of building this recreational
0710 skate park
component cooperatively instead of independently and the reduction of risk to
operate the facility.
A rally was held on June 21 to gauge the interest of the youth of the community.
The rally was very strongly attended by Richfield residents. A task force of young
people and adults has been recruited to further plan a concept.
III. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION
A. POLICY
• Staff has discussed the idea with the Community Services
Commission and is reporting its findings to the Council.
B. CRITICAL ISSUES
• Many young people in the area have expressed an interest in the
.facility and similar facilities in the metro area have enjoyed great
success and attendance.
C. FINANCIAL
• Building the park cooperatively with two other cities makes the facility
significantly more affordable and financially feasible.
D. LEGAL
• With the Southdale YMCA managing the facility, the risk of liability is
reduced for the City.
IV. ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION(S~
• N/A
V. ATTACHMENTS
• Skate Park Youth Rally flyer.
VI. PRINCIPAL PARTIES EXPECTED AT MEETING

The Cities of Bloomington, Edina and Richfield along with the Southdale YMCA have been
working together on a proposal to build a Skate Park near the Southdale YMCA. It will cater to
skateboards, in-line skates and trick bikes. If you have an interest, we need your attendance and in-
put at the meeting. Please come and show your support for the new Skate Park. If we work together,
we can make this Skate Park a reality!
