MILLER PARK COURT COMPLEX PROJECT Getschow introduced the topic and pointed out the Council’s familiarity with the project. Staff recommends entering into an amended professional services agreement with ISG for development of design and construction documents for the Miller Park Outdoor Court Complex Project. Markle pointed out the Parks and Recreation Department has researched, discussed, and presented several options for athletic court renovation at Miller Park over the past two years. The existing courts are at the end of their useful life and need replacement. Options have included both indoor and outdoor designs with benefits and challenges to each. After several City Council work sessions and Parks and Recreation Natural Resources Commission meeting discussions, a direction of pursuing an outdoor facility has been recommended. The benefits of an outdoor court complex include a wider variety of courts therefore appealing to a broader reach of residents and youth summer camp participants, cost-effective, less staff intensive to operate and maintain, decrease in long-term capital costs, high-level of private industry success in regional indoor pickleball facilities, and the increase of outdoor playtime due to lit courts. Markle explained the proposed project would replace the existing tennis and basketball courts with an outdoor court complex that would include eight pickleball courts, one tennis court, and one basketball court to meet community needs in consideration of regional trends. She showed an aerial overview of the project. Markle noted there will be adjacent seating areas, landscaping, parking improvements, and lights to enhance the facility and participant experience. The parking will still be to the west of the complex. Markle added the project is estimated to cost around $2 million which will come from park dedication fees. The scope and cost for these services are in line with similar projects of this size and ISG has performed similar work within our park system and surrounding communities, so Staff feels very comfortable recommending them for this project. Narayanan asked how Eden Prairie compares to other cities in terms of the number of pickleball courts. Markle stated she knows Richfield has a smaller population but had 16 pickleball courts. Eden Prairie has almost double that amount. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES February 20, 2024 Page 5 Case noted it is important to consider the surrounding communities’ offerings as residents may travel to other cities to use courts. Also, while there may be indoor court offerings, there is the issue of equity to consider. Down the line, the City may need to consider the range of pickleball players’ abilities. Narayanan stated it is too late in the process to track the pickleball offerings in other communities. Markle offered to do internal tracking of facility and park usage. There is new software to help with the calculations. Case clarified he wanted to know the surrounding court numbers to determine if Eden Prairie is acting as a catchall for courts. Narayanan suggested there be an effort to prioritize use of the courts for residents. Case stated that could be a programmatic discussion later on. MOTION: Narayanan moved, seconded by Freiberg, to authorize First Amendment to Standard Agreement for Professional Services with ISG, Inc. for Design Phase Services for the Miller Park Outdoor Court Complex.
