For example, the food truck and bandshell areas. 6.) Written Comments. None Village of Weston Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting August 24, 2026 EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS & REPORTS. 7.) Update on the Kennedy Park Renovation – Everest Youth Hockey Director Osterbrink stated that an update is included in the packet and representatives, Brad Hanson, Jake Belcha, and Josh Swenson from Everest Youth Hockey (EYH) are here to present their ideas to the committee. Brad Hanson, 3003 Antelope Drive presented the idea of “An all-year park for all of Weston.” Listed below is the link to the presentation and some main points that were stated: • Presentation link – EYH_Kennedy_Park_Proposal • Build a flexible indoor space that serves Weston families, community organizations, athletes, visitors, local businesses throughout the year. o 30,000 square feet of indoor community space. o 12 months of use - Hockey will use it during the winter months, December – March, and other users will utilize the building the off- season months. o One adaptable indoor space - provides an indoor gathering space that could support recreation markets, youth programs, events, tournaments, everyday park visitors, etc. o Currently eight communities or user groups have already been identified. • The building would be on the NW corner of Kennedy Park o The building may also include a well house area and shop for equipment storage. The concept that was presented is not a final building design and no bids have been sent out to contractors. The group is asking the committee for: • Endorsement of the concept. • Support for developing a feasibility study and operating plan that can be presented to the Village Committees and Board. Hanson stated that youth hockey, boys and girls, is expanding and the local programs need dependable ice and additional capacity. The presented building would create new possibilities for practices, events, and tournaments. Which, the Village would receive monies raised from the events. Lopes Serrao asked how this facility would complement GTCC and what is the need that drives this additional facility. Nick Melsha, 1046 Gardener Park Road Kronenwetter, EYH president responded they have met with Aaron Mull, GTCC facility director, as well as others from GTCC to discuss the synergies between the two organizations on a bi-weekly basis. Hockey uses an ADM model, which is a national guidance that sets standards for how much practice and ice time a group of young athletes should have. Due to the growth of the organization over the last five years EYH is roughly 33 percent below what the ADM model would be able to offer. All hockey area teams need more ice time. GTCC offers a lot to the community, but additional resources are needed to subsidize GTCC. Some examples are: GTCC’s turf fields are fully booked out and Adventure Care has Village of Weston Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting August 24, 2026 about 50 young students on a waiting list. The idea of building a community facility at Kennedy Park would complement and build upon the existing resources that GTCC already provides but cannot fully meet the demands. Tatro asked what the group would do for fundraising or how they are going to contribute to the cost of the building. Melsha responded they would like the building to be a caretaker of the community and be self-sufficient. In the presentation Hanson stated there are various community stakeholders that are interested in investing in this building. Melsha added that ice time is sought after and can guarantee that all scheduled ice time would be bought during the winter months. During the off seasons the building could house the farmer’s market and Adventure Care. These are examples of possibilities for the building. EYH does not have all the answers yet because they need direction from the Committee and Board if this is worth pursuing. Ermeling stated she has the same concerns as Tatro but also that the Village currently has no funds to put towards this project. Lopes Serrao summed up the discussion by stating that the group is looking for permission from the Committee and Board to develop the plan further to see what the building could be like because right now it’s kind of a vague idea. Giving permission to move forward then more definitive information could be provided as to what the actual cost would be, space needs, and what the impacts to the park are. Then discussions about who is responsible for what can take place along with the needs for parking and other concerns that have been brought forward. Melsha stated that EYH is not asking for any money and they are wanting to take charge financially in pursuing this project and doing the deep research. The partnership with the Village comes into play with the architecture behind it in the sense of the overall strategy for the park: • How does this complement the park • Will it be a viable option for the Farmer’s Market • Weston Utilities – well house EYH sees that the discovery, investigation, and viability of the building fall on them to get started. Lopes Serrao asked Director Wodalski about the existing structures in the NW corner of the park and what would be the impact of building a new facility there. Director Wodalski responded that currently there are four buildings in that corner and when the Kennedy Master Plan was developed the plan showed removing the existing buildings and erect one that would include areas for: the well house, park shop for seasonal equipment and a gathering/warming house with restrooms. If the decision is for EYH to move forward, the building plans would have to include the amenities the Village needs beside the proposed ideas. Ermeling asked Hodell if the proposed concept would work for the Farmer’s Market. Hodell responded that an enclosed building would not work. Administrator Gebert added that garage doors could be added to the design so vendors could back into and set up inside. Melsha agreed that could be included. Village of Weston Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting August 24, 2026 Tatro stated that the group should include options from everything that they want in the design to what they would settle for. Melsha stated that they have 3 options they are considering but there may be more options out there that they haven’t considered or have been consulted on. EYH is working with Ross and Associated out of Minnesota who was recommended by GTCC. Jimmy Olafson, 5503 Winding Creek Drive Weston, from Everest Youth Baseball (EYB) supports EYH. The two organizations can come together to work on priorities with the Village and look at different ways that they can share space and alter plans if necessary. Olafson added that they have one year on the new fields and through their experience they have some priorities to consider for moving forward with the next step. Lopes Serrao thanked Olafson for the great job their organization has done with EYB’s social media posts. In their posts they have included other activities that have been going on in the park and have included some great visuals. Olafson stated that they too want to spread the message as to how everybody can utilize the park, not just baseball and softball. Baseball and softball are willing and wanting to work with other organizations to make the park enjoyable for all users. NEW BUSINESS 8.) Discussion and possible action Machmueller Park Master Plan. Director Osterbrink stated this is the Committee’s first look at the master plan. The initial input was given to the consultant from staff, then the consultant came to Machmueller Park to assess the site before providing a draft of the plan. No cost estimates were provided because this is a draft and more input will be provided from the Committee and from the public input meeting which is tentatively scheduled for September 3 rd at Machmueller Park from 5-7p.m. Director Osterbrink explained what features are presented in the concept plan: • Existing features that would stay - drainage area in the northeast corner, 3 t- ball fields, the larger baseball field, playground, shelter and restrooms, and large parking lot. • Suggested additions to the park – a second playground, expanding the walking trails, pickleball courts with a shade area and its own parking lot, outdoor fitness area, a second shelter and restrooms on the north end of the park, along with a food truck area and bandshell for when the Village hosts the concert series. Staff added the following comments: • Machmueller Park is the highest revenue park for park rentals. • 2028 Ross Ave reconstruction – extending water and sewer for future development of the property east of the park. This means the Village will then be able to add a second restroom on the north end of the park. • Current users of the park are baseball groups, concert series participants, people who rent the shelter, and everyday park users. Village of Weston Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting August 24, 2026 • Maintain the rural nature of the park – the bandshell would be acoustic in style and not like the 400 block in Wausau, and concert off the square would not be held at this park. Committee made the following comments: • Trustee Ermeling asked about the size of the pickleball courts. Director Osterbrink stated that the four presented pickleball courts would approximately be the size of three tennis courts. • Trustee Lopes Serrao asked if the existing parking lot footprint is large enough to handle the additions that are being proposed to the park. Director Osterbrink responded that the current parking lot has 120 stalls, which should be sufficient and that 30 additional stalls will be added by the pickleball courts. It is suggested to stripe the parking lot and add directional arrows to direct traffic. • Trustee Lopes Serrao asked is a draft concept drawing of the bandshell could be presented at the public meeting for the public to have a visual representation of what it would look like. Staff responded that Rettler can supply a concept at the public meeting. • Trustee Ermeling asked when a cost estimate will be provided. Director Osterbrink stated that once the Committee and Board approve the final concept of the plan. • Tatro commented that once the master plan is completed and approved the Village does not have to develop the park all at once or at all. The master plan is a concept which guides staff if the Committees and Board decide to move forward. The only money that is being spent is for completion of the design. Director Wodalski added that Parkland Dedication Funds are being collected from the subdivisions that are being built in that area. Those funds can be used to develop/upgrade the park. • Trustee Ermeling asked if in the future can the proposed pickleball court area be expanded. Staff replied that courts could be added to the area north of the proposed pickleball area. • Trustee Lopes Serrao asked if proposed pedestrian crossing is planned for when future development occurs to the east of the park. Staff responded that a proposed multiuse path is proposed along the west side of Ross Ave when it is reconstructed in 2028. A pedestrian crossing could be proposed at Quentin St and at Pauls Ave. FUTURE ITEMS 9.) Possible next meeting date: September 3rd, 2026 – time to be determined and September 28, 2026 10.) Topics for future meetings a. Update from September 3 rd Public Meeting 11.) Remarks from Staff Village of Weston Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting August 24, 2026 Director Osterbrink included his monthly report in the packet. The pool closed on August 16th for the season. The pool contractor will be in this fall for the leak detection and to replace the pumps and valves. Staff completed a final inspection on all seven of the new playgrounds. Staff found some loose and missing bolts, a cracked panel at Yellowbanks challenge course, and cracked brackets on a three net structure at Sandhill Park that the representative is going to contact the company to warranty the parts. The company repaired or took care of the initial scratches and concerns back in May. The Village received and replaced additional warrantied parts that came in two weeks ago. Director Wodalski stated that PGA is coming back to Kennedy to take care of the concrete spalling on the concrete walls on the new fields that chipped. Staff are also scheduling a final walk through with PGA. 12.) Remarks from Committee Members Trustee Lopes Serrao asked on behalf of Trustee Zeyghami if the Mountain Bay Trail is going to be expanded and what if any role does the Village play in this. Administrator Gebert responded that Marathon County and the City of Wausau Parks Department take care of the existing trail in an agreement with the State. The Village has reached out to the contact person at the State, and a discussion would need to be had on how to expand the trail. Would the use be expanded beyond pedestrian and bicycle use and who would be responsible for maintaining it. The area from Mesker St. to Camp Phillips Rd. could be expanded. The trail cannot be expanded to the west side of Camp Phillips Rd.since the rail is still active. Trustee Ermeling asked if a No Seeds and No Cleats signs have been put up on the new fields. Director Osterbrink stated that we will have to decide what is all not allowed on the fields and make signs. Trustee Ermeling would like the signs to be installed before next season. There are currently No Seeds Allowed on Turf signs posted on the new fields. 13.) Announcements None. Village of Weston Parks and Recreation Committee Meeting August 24, 2026 14.)

REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION Public Mtg/Date: Parks and Recreation Committee – September 28, 2026 Description: Discussion and/or action on collecting feedback regarding Ice Skating Rinks at Kennedy Park. From: Shawn Osterbrink, Director of Parks, Recreation & Forestry Question: Should the Park and Recreation Committee recommend collecting feedback regarding Ice Skating Rinks at Kennedy Park? Background The purpose of this agenda item is to discuss whether the Parks and Recreation Committee would like to conduct a survey regarding the Ice Rinks at Kennedy Park. In March and April of this year the Park and Recreation Committee discussed the cost versus the benefit of the ice-skating rinks at Kennedy Park. During the April meeting the committee discussed the possibility of having a survey available for residents to complete during the November election. Then in August we had a presentation by Everest Youth Hockey where they proposed placing an indoor rink at Kennedy Park due to the need for additional ice time for all users of Greenheck. Due to the feedback, we received from a user group of ice rinks, is there still a need to complete a survey or should the survey look a little different and focus on the need for indoor and/or outdoor rinks? Attached Docs: None. ______________________________________________________________________ Committee Action: None. Fiscal Impact: None. Recommendation: None. Recommended Language for Official Action I recommend approval/denial to complete an ice rink survey, Or something else. ______________________________________________________________________ Additional action: REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION REQUEST FOR CONSIDERATION Public Mtg/Date: Parks and Recreation Committee – September 28, 2026 Description: Discussion and/or action on completing an updated Aquatic Center Evaluation. From: Shawn Osterbrink, Director of Parks, Recreation & Forestry Question: Should the Park and Recreation Committee recommend completing a new aquatic center evaluation? Background We received a request from a board member to place this item on the agenda due to the age of our current eval uation and the amount of money that has been spent on aquatic center repairs. Our previous evaluation was completed in 2016 so it ’s 10 years old and many of the items listed in the evaluation have been completed. Due to the timing of this request and the date of the meeting we don’t have an accurate cost estimate. The previous evaluation in 2016 was just under $7,000 so we anticipate it being around $10,000 but until we can connect with a firm to complete the evaluation we won’t know the actual cost. Attached Docs: Recommendation page from the previous evaluation. ______________________________________________________________________ Committee Action: None. Fiscal Impact: $7,000 to $12,000 Recommendation: Recommend approval. Recommended Language for Official Action I recommend approval/denial to complete a new aquatic center evaluation, Or something else. ______________________________________________________________________ Additional action: Page 2 of 15 Executive Summary WTI has been commissioned by the Village of Weston to report on the current condition of the outdoor, municipal pool located at 5815 Alta Verde Street.
