Nampa Parks & Recreation Update Nampa Parks and Recreation Director Cody Swander provided an update on their pathways and capital improvement projects. Their pathways fall under the Parks Maintenance team, primarily managed by the Maintenance Manager, as they do not have a dedicated pathways coordinator. They also receive assistance from the Public Works department for grant writing and grant administration. Nampa’s first formalized master plan was created in 2011 by Alta Design. This plan included numerous on-street improvements, such as bike lanes, side paths, attached sidewalks, detached sidewalks, and some off-road pathways. The plan was updated again in 2020, which is the current pathways plan being used. Nampa has a master agreement with the Nampa/Meridian Irrigation District, which covers roughly three-quarters of the city. This agreement allows the city to place urban pathways over the irrigation district’s maintenance easements. The relationship has gone well over the years. If the irrigation district needs to make repairs or access parts of the pathways, they are allowed to do so, often with the city completing any necessary repairs to restore the pathways to working order. Another pathway is Rails to Trails, which is an old rail line that has been converted into a pathway. There is not a lot of budget funding for pathways. Impact fees are a major driver for Nampa’s capital projects. The city has made a conscious decision not to use impact fees to build pathways because they do not want developers coming back to request exactions for Page 6 Item 1. pathways that have already been built. Instead, impact dollars go toward other capital projects, while funding from home developers supports the parks. As a result, the city relies on grants and awards to help fund pathways. This past year, the Grimes Pathway was completed. In the area where it was constructed, it is likely the pathway that will be known as Rails with Trails, located just outside of Union Pacific’s easement. Following the master plan, pathways are built by the city according to building and construction standards. They are also often constructed through the planning and zoning process when development occurs. When a subdivision is being built adjacent to one of the master plan pathways, the city requests a 20-foot easement and requires the builder to construct the pathway according to the standards and designs outlined in the master plan. This can be frustrating for community members because of the starts and stops of pathways throughout the city; however, it is necessary because the city does not have sufficient funding to complete all the pathways itself. One of the larger pathway connections that the city is currently working on is the Ore Pathway. This pathway follows the Ore Drain in West Nampa, connecting Wilson Pathway to the north with Edward’s Pathway to the south. Nampa previously asked for land to be deeded and dedicated to the city for pathways on either side of the drains. This resulted in high weed abatement and weed control costs for the city. Roughly 10 years ago, the city changed this process and began obtaining permanent pathway easements instead. With this approach, the property remains the property owner’s responsibility, allowing them to landscape the pathways as they wish, while the city provides maintenance on the asphalt only. Meridian Parks and Recreation Pathways Project Manager Kim Warren stated that an updated copy of Nampa’s GIS map is needed. This prompted discussion among Steve Siddoway, Kim Warren, Mike Barton, and Cody Swander about potential pathways connecting Nampa to Meridian and aligning them on the same sides of streets for easier connectivity. A future meeting will be scheduled to discuss this further, which would benefit both cities by creating continuous pathways that run from city to city. Some of the larger capital improvement projects currently underway are: • Centennial Golf Course irrigation project – A $3.8 million bid was received and will be presented to Council on December 1st. • Purchasing property for a 40-acre soccer park – The Nampa School District is interested in a property swap. This item will be presented to Council on December 20th. • West Park – Adding bocce ball, cornhole, and a horseshoe pit. • Midway Park – Phase 3 is currently underway. The floor was opened for questions. No further questions were raised from the Commissioners. Page 7 Item 1. 7. Lakeview Golf Course Update Lakeview Golf Course General Manager/Head Golf Professional Ryan Roberts presented a PowerPoint providing an overview of the golf course’s condition when the city first obtained it versus how it is now. Lakeview is not only a golf course but also a restaurant and event venue, hosting bingo nights and other activities. When the city first acquired the golf course, it was not in good condition. Key improvements include: • Irrigation System – Water is now evenly distributed across the course, resulting in fuller, healthier grass that can withstand daily use. • Golf Carts – The new golf carts increase the pace of play, improve the player experience, enhance reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and provide consistency for return customers. • Car Path – The gravel previously generated excessive noise and dust when driven on. The improvements have reduced noise, decreased wear and tear on the course, improved traffic flow, and significantly reduced dust. • Equipment – New mowers reduce the time required for lawn care, allowing for more gameplay and better-looking grass. • Clubhouse – Outdated carpet and furniture were replaced, creating a modern look and allowing events to be comfortably hosted. • Bathrooms – The removal of porta potties and construction of new bathrooms provides cleaner and more attractive facilities. These upgrades allow events, tournaments, classes, and camps to run smoothly and enhance the overall experience for community members. In the years prior, Lakeview would run through 30,000 rounds of golf a year, this year we did 51,000 rounds. Please see the attached PowerPoint presentation for additional information regarding this presentation. STAFF REPORTS 8. MPR Staff Director Steve Siddoway reported on the following: 1.
