Defining Parameters (Lanes)

Principles to a Successful City Project Champions of the Project – there can be multiple champions for a city project. Ideally, this list would include a champion on the City Council, Parks & Rec or Community Fund boards, a City Staff member and a number of representatives from the community.

Legal Requirements – the project must meet legal obligations and requirements both at the city, state, and federal level.

Sustainable – when the project is completed, there are realistic and sustainable plans to operate and maintain the project for its continued use and benefit to the city and its citizens.

Feasible – projects should be supported by data that indicate both the need and desire by consensus of the community and the ability to create funding for the project.

Champions Legal Sustainable Feasible

Project 1

Project 2

Next Steps Once the project meets these principles, the next step is evaluating momentum by asking the following questions:

� What percent of funding for the project already exists? � What is the level of buy in or interest in successful completion of the project?

• City • City Council • Community • Other Stakeholders

� Does the project directly support other city projects? � Is there a history of success in these types of projects?

This evaluation will provide clarity about appropriate next steps to move this project forward.

Miracle Field was approved by Moorhead City Council on 10-14-2019. A playground at this location has long been on the master plan for Southside Regional Park. $10,000 has been budgeted for construction design of this project, and a pledge of $10,000 from Moorhead Kiwanis. A local construction management company has volunteered to help coordinate pro bono contractors to provide the base material for the rubberized surface, similar to what they did for the Miracle Field many years ago.

Dog Park Following research and community input, River Oaks Park was approved at the location for a second dog park in Moorhead. Location options that comply with FEMA and DNR standards, as applicable, are under review. City has budgeted $25,000 from the 2019 Capital Improvement (CI) Fund. Total project cost is $200,000.

Natural Playground The FM Rotary Foundation approached the City of Moorhead about constructing a natural playground near the downtown area of Moorhead. Various locations were discussed and the FM Rotary members picked Riverfront Park as the preferred location. The FM Rotary Foundation will be responsible for fundraising, design, and execution of this project with oversight from City staff. The estimate for this project is $600,000.

River Corridor and Trails The City continues to seek grants to build a continuous river corridor trail and recently applied funding for the Midtown and Harvest Trail segments and river crossing improvements at the 60th Ave S Bridge to install a separated bike lane on the bridge. For additional details on other projects, visit the River Corridor section of the City’s website.

Partnering with other agencies continues to move multiple projects forward. The current list of partnering agencies include:

• Audubon Dakota for the grant writing and implementation of Urban Woods and Prairie Initiative sites along the river corridor. The City is currently working with staff from Audubon on exploring installation of Pollinator Gardens within select/pilot City grass medians.

• River Keepers continues to work with the City on a number of projects such as Reforest the Red, river clean up, water education, fishing clinics, canoe and kayak rentals, etc. They are also looking to rent office space in the Hjemkomst Center.

• The many community groups that Adopt-the-Red for river clean up. • FM Rotary for the bike repair stations • FM Trailbuilders volunteer countless hours to clear off-road trails through the woods along the river

corridor.

The Downtown and Homestead Trail segments funded through the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails (Legacy Grant) and the City of Moorhead were completed in 2019. For more information on the River Corridor Trails and Funding view the River Corridor Trails Segment Map.

Park benches, garbage receptacles, and dog waste receptacles will also be placed along the Homestead and Downtown segments as work is completed. The concrete paths will have the Art Stamps from the downtown project used as an added feature. There are three (3) message centers that were installed in the Fall of 2019. Work continues this winter on the information that will be placed in these message centers that includes mapping, destination information and historical references.

Community & Aquatics Center The Moorhead Community & Aquatics Center will provide year-round indoor aquatics, recreation, and community spaces for Moorhead families, seniors, and youth and college students. Amenities that are being considered may include a 50-meter competition-sized pool with a diving well, outdoor splash pad, gathering spaces, exercise areas, senior spaces and childcare. Locations for the $25 million facility are being explored near the high school and downtown. The City has requested state bonding support, but with the large scope of the project, it will also need community contributions.
