Update on Superior Trails/COGGS Process. Richard Kaufman announced that Superior Trails received a $25,000 grant from the Tourism Development Committee, which was initially intended to be matched by the International Mountain Bike Association; however, that matching grant was not secured. Superior Trails subsequently became part of COGGS, where Kaufman now serves as a board member in an at large seat. Barr Engineering was hired by COGGS to develop a concept plan for sustainable, multi-use, unpaved trails that will traverse unused green spaces on both public and private lands. The concept plan a step toward a full master trail plan. This concept plan is anticipated to be completed by June 1, 2026, and will be represented on a map to facilitate future implementation. The project aims to connect significant locations such as UWS, Heritage Park, Millennium Trail, and the new bridge, potentially establishing the largest continuous bike trail system in the United States if connected to Mont du Lac in the future. To identify landowners and ideal trail alignment, the team is utilizing GIS data, heat maps, and Strava usage overlays, with outreach efforts. Strategic communication will follow once parcel locations are confirmed, and alternative routes will be developed if landowners deny access. Director Maruska and Commissioners highlighted the necessity of public input through public meetings and community engagement.

The Arbor Day festivities are scheduled from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., while the skate park event will take place from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m..

New attractions for this year include a vendor fair, face painting, food trucks, and a barge for the fireworks display. The Bayside Sounds concert series will commence on July 8th at the Old Firehall and Police Museum, with additional concerts at Hammond Park and other familiar venues. Enhancements for children will include coloring activities and a bubble dance party. The average attendance of Bayside Sounds concerts is 225. Saylor emphasized the importance of preserving a neighborhood atmosphere for Bayside Sounds, ensuring that growth is accompanied by meaningful experiences. Contracts for musicians are currently being finalized to introduce new bands. 3.3. Update on Vendor Cottages. Saylor reported that four vendor cottages are nearing completion, with two awaiting window installation. Arrangements for power supply have been made, and the cottages will be positioned permanently on Barker's Island, while smaller units may be relocated for special events. A pricing structure has been established, differentiating between city and non-city events as well as varying building sizes, with rates comparable to those of pavilion rentals. In collaboration with the Health Department, guidelines and an application process are being formulated. Only city staff will manage the relocation of the cottages using specialized equipment, and a moving fee is under consideration for the smaller units. Rentals will operate on a first-come, first-served basis through online applications. Food vendors are permitted to sell pre-prepared items but are prohibited from cooking on-site due to licensing regulations. Power is accessible, and generators will be available for units that are moved. 3.4. Update on Pat Currie/Gene Rosberg Pavilion. The Commission conducted a review of the official naming policy, which stipulates the need for a biographical summary, proof of community service, and a 60-day public notice period prior to Council approval. There is a need for clarification regarding the timing of public comments in relation to the Council's review process. Members engaged in discussions about the placement, size, materials, and visibility of plaques, expressing a preference for durable materials such as bronze or metal with raised lettering. They also considered styles reminiscent of historical markers and suggested seeking input from local manufacturers. The Commission deliberated on whether the Parks & Rec Commission – 3/19/2026 Meeting (Meets quarterly on the 4th Thursday.) * Attended the meeting virtually Page 3 of 6 city should bear the costs of the plaques or adopt a model similar to the bench program, weighing the implications this might have for future naming precedents. Cost estimates and potential funding sources will be investigated, and the topic will be revisited for recommendations at the May 28th meeting, where further discussions on materials, costs, and adherence to policy will take place. Plans are in place to reach out to manufacturers for quotes and design options. Bonnie Larson left the meeting at 6:02 p.m. 3.5. Update on Twin Ports Rugby Land Lease. The Commission deliberated on whether the city should own and lease the shed or allow a land lease for rugby to take ownership, ultimately opting for the latter to minimize city obligations. This lease arrangement would mirror that of the paddle board shed. Discussions highlighted the increasing involvement of Twin Ports Rugby at Susen's Field, the potential future engagement of the Superior Soccer Association, and the necessity for maintaining flexibility for multi-sport usage and possible field reconfiguration. Members cited the community garden lease as a precedent, ensuring that rugby would be accountable for the shed's removal if the lease concludes or if the field layout changes. Additionally, considerations regarding color, branding, and sponsorship guidelines were addressed. A draft agreement is set to be prepared for review at the May 28th meeting, incorporating the Commission's feedback on contract specifics and community implications.

For many years, Pat Currie and Gene Rosburg have played a significant role in caring for Woodstock Bay Park through routine volunteer maintenance, cleanup efforts, advocacy, and ongoing community stewardship of the space. Their consistent presence and care for the park has contributed positively to the condition and experience of the site for park users and the surrounding neighborhood. In accordance with the City’s naming policy, the proposed naming of the pavilion as the “Currie Rosburg Pavilion” was publicly noticed twice in the City’s official newspaper and a 60-day public comment period was opened to solicit public input regarding the proposal. The public comment period remains open through June 15, 2026. Recommendation Barring any substantial public opposition received during the remainder of the public comment period, I recommend the Parks and Recreation Commission approve the naming of the pavilion at Woodstock Bay Park as the “Currie Rosburg Pavilion” and forward the recommendation to the Common Council for consideration at the July 7, 2026 Council meeting. Staff is requesting consideration in advance of the Commission’s September meeting timeline in order to allow naming signage and recognition elements to be fabricated and installed during the 2026 summer season. Should significant public opposition or concerns arise prior to the close of the comment period, staff will hold the recommendation from advancing to Council until further review can occur. Conclusion The proposed pavilion naming recognizes decades of volunteerism, stewardship, and community care demonstrated by Pat Currie and Gene Rosburg at Woodstock Bay Park. Advancing the recommendation at this time allows the City the opportunity to complete signage installation during the current park season while still honoring the full public notice and comment process established within City policy.
