UNFINISHED BUSINESS
a. National Guard Armory Remodel
The Rosemount National Guard Armory is preparing for a major remodel of the facility,
which was built in 1993/1994. The project has gone through a public bidding process
and a low bidder has been identified. The National Guard (NG) is planning to kick off
the remodel just after the first of the new year and will have moved all of their staff
offsite by the start of the project. The project is estimated to take approximately two
years to complete. The Parks and Recreation department staff are planning to stay in
our offices during the remodel with the understanding that we will have some
operational interruptions over the next two years.
b. Life Time Project Update

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Parks & Recreation Commission Regular Meeting: January 22, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Central Park/Public Works Master Plan AGENDA SECTION:
UNFINISHED BUSINESS
PREPARED BY: Dan Schultz, Parks & Recreation Director AGENDA NO. 6.a.
ATTACHMENTS: Central Park Masterplan 2 finals 9 1 23 APPROVED BY: DLS
RECOMMENDED ACTION: None, discussion only
BACKGROUND
In May of 2023, staff shared with the Commission that as the City moves forward with the
development of a new Public Works Department and Police Department Campus, we have an
opportunity to plan for the reuse of what will be the old Public Works campus. Staff shared three
concept plans with the Parks and Recreation Commission. The plans were also shared with
stakeholders to get their input.
The two attached master plan concepts show a combined Central Park and former Public Works
Campus based on input from the review of earlier plans. Staff have also been working on more detailed
amenity plans for the area in hopes of making the space more attractive to residents because of the
wide variety of recreation opportunities. This area is already home to the band shell/amphitheater,
Central Park shelter, playground, outdoor skating, splash pad, sun shelter, veteran’s memorials and
walking trails. The concept plans show expanded parking areas, additional trails, a new playground
space, phase 2 of the splash pad, reuse of a garage as a recreation facility and much more.
Staff will discuss the two concepts plans in detail with the Commission at the meeting on Monday and
will also have some example amenities options for the future park expansion.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Parks & Recreation Commission Regular Meeting: January 22, 2024
AGENDA ITEM: Access Trails – Flint Hills Athletic Complex/Trailhead
Building
AGENDA SECTION:
NEW BUSINESS
PREPARED BY: Dan Schultz, Parks & Recreation Director AGENDA NO. 7.a.
ATTACHMENTS: Flint Hills Access Trail Map APPROVED BY: DLS
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to recommend the City enter into a JPA with Dakota County for the
access trail projects at the Flint Hills Complex.
BACKGROUND
Staff has been reviewing opportunities to increase the sidewalk and trail access to the new park
shelter/trailhead building at the Flint Hills Athletic Complex. The goal is to get better access to the
building from near the vehicle entrance on Akron Avenue and from the north near the Akron Avenue
underpass.
The map included in the packet shows staffs plans for increasing the access to the park. Because the
trailhead building was financially supported by Dakota County, they are interested in helping partially
fund the access trails to the building. The estimated cost of the new sidewalk and trails is $356,000.
The City is working on getting a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with Dakota County to secure the
financial support for the project.
RECOMMENDATION
Motion to recommend the City enter into a JPA with Dakota County for the access trail projects at the Flint
Hills Complex.
