Watershed District regarding access, construction, operation and maintenance of the Hansen <br />Park Project. <br />Draft plans were presented at the November 4, 2015 PREC meeting and again during a public <br />open house on November 12, 2015 with about 60 city residents in attendance. <br />Financial Impact: N/A <br />Explanation: Rice Creek Watershed District Staff will present the draft plans of Hansen Park <br />Improvements. The youth ball fields on the west side of Hansen Park will be impacted with the <br />proposed project. Two options will be presented to the Council for consideration: <br />Option A: Reconstruct the youth ball fields at their current location. <br />Option B: Store additional dredge material onsite and accept cash payment for project <br />savings for reduced offsite hauling of material, and not rebuilding the fields in <br />their current location. <br />The Rice Creek Watershed District Board, New Brighton PREC, and RCWD/City staffs are <br />recommending Option B. Final arrangements would be built into a cooperative agreement(s) <br />between the RCWD Board and City Council with formal action by the governing bodies <br />sometime in January. <br />Craig G.
