MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 10, 1996 assured that the building will be safe. Fahey pointed out, however, that the Building Inspector would be reviewing the plans, as well as the City Engineer who, hopefully, would sign off on them. Fahey suggested the Park & Recreation Commission come up with a shelter design working with Bill Sanders. Scalze did not believe Bill Sanders was a building designer. Scalze felt picnic shelters were pretty commonplace, and that the Commission could look at existing shelters and find one they like. Pedersen asked if there were books of standard picnic shelters. The City Administrator replied that there were catalogues, but these shelters are not the size and type being proposed. The Administrator pointed out that the discussion has been for a picnic shelter with restroom facilities, a serving area, and fire place. LaValle pointed out there is a new shelter at Phalen and suggested the Commission look at some existing shelters. Fahey suggested there is time to study this project in more detail since construction on the shelter would not beqin until after Canadian Days. Fahey indicated he would like to see design costs reduced to the $2,000 range. The Administrator suggested that the Park & Recreation Commission and Canadian Days get together, tour some existing shelters, and come up with what they want for Spooner Park. Once the design of the building is decided upon, it is likely the architect's design costs can be reduced. Mr. LaValle introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: RESOLUTION NO. 96-4-83 - TABLING ACTION ON PROPOSALS FOR DESIGN SERVICES FOR THE SPOONER PARK PICNIC SHELTER PENDING A RECOMMENDATION FROM THE PARK & RECREATION COMMISSION AND CANADIAN DAYS COMMITTEE ON SHELTER DESIGN The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Fahey. Ayes (5) LaValle, Fahey, Morelan, Pedersen, Scalze. Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. 6
