Mr. Kegley answered that the flooding overnight was essential for the rink maintenance and dependent on temperatures. 2. Receive 2025 Park and Recreation Department Annual Report Priya Wall, Recreation Manager, reviewed the 2025 Park and Recreation Annual Report, which identified accomplishments and information for all divisions within the Park and Recreation Department. Youth Commissioner Christenson asked about an update for the Carver Beach Playground. Jerry Ruegemer, Park and Recreation Director, answered that they would provide an update on this topic later in the meeting. Chair Leisen thanked the staff for their update and asked if they could post it online. Ms. Wall answered that the report would go to the City Council and then be updated online. Commissioner Nashawaty moved, Commissioner Morgan seconded that the Park and Recreation Commission recommends that the City Council receive and approve the 2025 Park & Recreation Annual Report. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 8 to 0. 3. Recommend 4th of July Celebration Event Logo Concept Ms. Wall reviewed the historical process for the 4th of July Celebration Event Logo Concept. She stated that the City Staff designed the 2026 logo concepts. Commissioner Scheppmann noted that concept four looked like a postage stamp. Youth Commissioner Christenson liked that concept, which incorporated the maple leaf. Commissioner Nashawaty stated the maple leaf should be in the final logo. Mr. Ruegemer said that it was the nation’s 250th anniversary, so they wanted to tie that in. Chair Leisen appreciated concept three. Commissioner Scheppmann said he appreciated the diamond-shaped concept. Youth Commissioner Christenson suggested not to use cursive in the final design. Commissioner Swanson said he liked concept one. 10 Park and Recreation Commission Minutes – March 24, 2026 3 Commissioner Nashawaty commented that a simpler concept would be better. Chair Leisen asked for a vote on concept one. Commissioners Nashawaty, Morgan, Swanson, and Christenson voted for concept one. Youth Commissioner suggested that concept one include 2026. Commissioner Scheppmann asked about putting the 250th in the red banner. Ms. Wall said that they would add 2026 and make the 250th more prominent.

All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 8 to 0. 4. Park Renovation Fund Priority Discussion Mr. Ruegemer recommended that the Park and Recreation Commission identify a list of park priority projects for the next 1 to 10 years and for 2026. He encouraged them to discuss the 2026 park replacement sheet and said that Stone Creek stands out because it is 28 years old. Chair Leisen asked if the playground was well-used. Mr. Ruegemer answered that it was put off because of inspections of the playground. They are going to determine which playgrounds to replace based on the condition. Mr. Ruegemer said they received comments about the equipment available at the Carver Beach site, and they could consider supplementing the container. He said they could allocate $15,000 for this location. Chair Leisen asked if this would satisfy the feedback from the community. Mr. Ruegemer confirmed this information. Commissioner Fulkerson asked about the conditions of Stone Creek, because no playgrounds were proposed to be renovated in 2027 and 2028. Mr. Ruegemer responded that it was getting harder to get replacement parts for the Stone Creek Playground equipment. He said that it would make sense to go through the process this year. Commissioner Fulkerson asked if they could budget $85,000 for the Stone Creek playground, or what would be an adequate number. Mr. Ruegemer said he put $100,000, and he thought it was a conservative number. He stated that if the Park and Recreation Commission wanted to set it at $85,000, they could consider doing so. 11 Park and Recreation Commission Minutes – March 24, 2026 4 Youth Commissioner Christenson suggested holding a neighborhood meeting. Mr. Ruegemer said they would engage with neighbors during the planning process. Commissioner Morgan asked if the funding was just for playground renovation or other park renovation projects. Mr. Ruegemer answered that they can complete other items on the list. Commissioner Morgan said that only a subset of the items could be considered based on costs. He asked for additional information on the color-coding. Mr. Ruegemer explained that the yellow was a short-term project, the blue was a mid-term project, and the green was a long-term project. He stated it was important to have conversations about funding avenues. Commissioner Morgan asked if there were any projects they thought were worth highlighting that were urgent needs. Mr. Ruegemer responded that the pickleball courts at Roundhouse Park would need to be replaced in the future. He requested some other community feedback. Commissioner Scheppmann asked if they could add Pickleball Courts to Bandimere Park. Chair Leisen asked if they could use the remaining funds from the Lake Ann Preserve Project. Mr. Ruegemer answered that the southwestern trail segment at Lake Ann Preserve would not move forward, so there would be $400,000 to $500,000 that they could recommend reallocation of, but it was general fund money that could be utilized elsewhere. He said he could put ideas for the recommendation together for next month. Commissioner Nashawaty asked if they could utilize funds from other community organizations to contribute to projects. Mr. Ruegemer responded that they always welcomed community sponsors. Chair Leisen suggested that for 2026, they complete Stone Creek Park for approximately $85,000; Carver Beach for $15,000, and look for nature park ideas in Lake Ann. Commissioner Fulkerson asked if they do not use money this year, if it would carry over to next year. Mr. Ruegemer confirmed this information. Commissioner Fulkerson confirmed that the community center was a two-year project. Mr. Ruegemer said that maintenance at the community center would be separate. Commissioner Nashawaty asked about the staff having the capacity to install six parks in 2030. Mr. Ruegemer responded that the future installation would be worked out. He did not think they would consider moving any playground equipment replacement up in the schedule. Commissioner Scheppmann clarified that Stone Creek would be a complete replacement. Mr. Ruegemer confirmed this information and noted that the concrete borders would stay. 12 Park and Recreation Commission Minutes – March 24, 2026 5 Commissioner Fulkerson moved, Commissioner Swanson seconded to approve the Park and Recreation Commission Staff’s recommendation for the projects at Carver Beach for $15,000 and Stone Creek at $85,000. All voted in favor and the motion carried unanimously with a vote of 8 to 0. REPORTS: 1. Recreation Center Quarterly Update Jodi Sarles, Rec Center Manager, reviewed the facility rentals and program updates for the recreation center. She summarized the events hosted at the recreation center and the upcoming events planned. 2. Easter Egg Candy Hunt Preview Ms. Wall stated that the 2026 Easter Egg Hunt would be on April 4th at 9 a.m., north of City Hall. She thanked the businesses that will participate in the event. The Easter coloring contest will be open until April 5th. 3. Senior Center Quarterly Report Mary Blazanin, Senior Center Coordinator, reviewed the patrons served through the Senior Center in the first quarter of 2026. She discussed the new interest groups through the senior center and other activity highlights. She reviewed her work as a liaison for the Chanhassen Commission on Aging and discussed the City of Chanhassen’s Senior Life Guide. She noted that she would be retiring on May 1st, 2026. Commissioner Fulkerson asked if the facilities could be reserved by private groups. Ms. Blazanin answered that they were working on getting the programming into a routine, but they will consider reservations in the future. Mr. Ruegemer stated that they were considering other rental facility options in Chanhassen. 4. Park Maintenance Quarterly Update Mr. Ruegemer reviewed the purchase of a new roller for the back of the tractor. He provided a summary of the work that crews were completing to prepare for spring activities. COMMISSION MEMBER COMMITTEE REPORTS: Commissioner Nashawaty discussed that they would like to hold multiple events to interest multiple people in the Civic Center opening. She discussed holding modified tours of the 13 Park and Recreation Commission Minutes – March 24, 2026 6 locations and hosting events during the day and evening hours to appeal to different audiences. They suggested allocating most of the funding for one large event for the community to enjoy. She discussed the subcommittee publishing agendas to provide more formal actions.

Chair:__________________________________ Date: _______________________ Updated 4/2026 18 19 Park & Recreation Commission Item April 28, 2026 Item Easter Egg Candy Hunt Evaluation Item No:H.1 Agenda Section REPORTS Prepared By Priya Wall, Recreation Manager SUGGESTED ACTION SUMMARY The 43rd Annual Easter Egg Candy Hunt was held on Saturday, April 4 in two waves at City Center Park. The first wave was held 9 a.m., and the second at 10 a.m. 416 children attended the event this year, with an estimated total of 900-1,000 people, including adults. Weather was wintry, with a mix of snow/sleet prior to the event and cloudy, windy conditions during the event. The temps for the morning were mid-high thirties. Participants were divided into four age groups for the candy hunt: 2 & under (new), 3-4, 5-7, and 8-12. In addition to candy and eggs, kids had the opportunity to hunt for "golden eggs" that were redeemable for prizes. Prizes were donated by kiddywampus, Mathnasium, T-Fiber, Pizzaioli, and Chick-fil-A. Nine local businesses were present at the event to provide kids activities. One business provided free coffee to adults, which was a big hit. Special thanks goes to Mitch Velgersdyk, State Farm Agency, Bach to Rock Minnetonka, Kiddie Academy of Chanhassen, Backed Chiropractic, Sora Therapy, O2B Kids, Mathnasium of Chanhassen West, Xcel Energy, T-Fiber, and TruStone Financial for supporting this event. Thank you also to the Chanhassen Fire Department, Carver County Sheriff's Office, and the Chanhassen, Chaska, and Eden Prairie High School Key and NHS Clubs for volunteering. Coloring Contest The Annual Easter Coloring Contest also ran as part of the 43rd Annual Easter Egg Candy Hunt. Prizes were awarded in 10 age categories based on originality and neatness. Forms were available online, at City Hall, and the Rec Center, and could be submitted online, at City Hall, the Rec Center, or at the Easter Egg Candy Hunt. 64 entries were received as part of this year's contest. 20 Comments and Recommendations for 2027 For the first time in 2026, the traditional "Ages 4 & under" group was split into two new groups: Ages 2 & under and Ages 3-4. This was a well-received change, especially among parents of participants ages 2 & under. This change addresses feedback and requests previously received for a toddler zone, and the two new age categories will be kept moving forward. This year, the wintry weather likely impacted attendance, lowering it from what would have been expected on a warm, sunny day. Start the dash right away at advertised start times (9:05 and 10:05). Participants are better about arriving on-time, so delaying has less of a benefit and creates more frustration for families. Continue to find ways to encourage parents not to collect eggs for their children in older age groups. Every year, this causes frustration. Continue to consider new, creative event components to engage attendees in future years.

Continue to appreciate the two time options. Wish it was for children 14 and under. Honestly, my 13 year-old participated without payment. My kids came home with full baskets and happy faces! Wish it would start at posted start times and not waiting for late comers Weather was cold. Could not stay too long after the egg hunt to visit each sponsors.Perhaps later afternoon wave when it is a little warmer would be a great option. Great event!! The construction near the event area could have been communicated better so we could have made better plans for parking, but overall the event was great! This was a great event, plenty of candy and space. Loved the addition of local businesses to pass the time before start of the hunt. Extra nice touch for parents to have free coffee from the chiropractor! This was a great event. Really like the two and under category. We had lots of fun. Love this event! Advertising a 9:05 start time and then arriving early and being told it would start at 9:10 was frustrating since it was such a cold day. I know you don’t want people to miss out, but starting when you say you’re gonna start means a lot more to people on such a cold day. Also there were a lot of parents getting too involved in the 3–4-year-old zone. But all in all, a super fun event as always. Thank you! Thank you for hosting this event. This was our first year participating, and my four-year-old enjoyed himself. I was disappointed, though, with the oversight involving the golden eggs and parents "helping" find those. My son was going toward a golden egg and then a parent came and picked it up and walked it over to her child while I was standing on the sideline trying to obey the rules. My son handled it well, but it made the event less enjoyable.
