Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim taVaile <br />Mau Anderson <br />Rick Montour <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />This past summer, at the Suburban Area Chamber of Commerce Golf Tournament, I visited with you <br />about the possibility of securing a donation from Williams Energy Services to assist us with the <br />development of a new, neighborhood park. You indicated that with Williams' commitment to good <br />corporate citizenship in the communities they are involved with that a donation of 550,000 or more is a <br />realistic possibility. I have discussed our conversation with my peers on the City Council and am now <br />writing to discover the process needed to receive this donation <br />Some background on this park is as follows: <br />• It is located on Jackson Street, just south of Little Canada Road. <br />• It is 2'/ acres in size. <br />• It will have a playground, % basketball court, trails, and gazebo. <br />• We estimate total development costs at 5285,000. <br />The City Council will soon be deciding upon the name for this park. As we discussed, a sizable <br />contribution could allow us to name the park after your company or to provide some other type of <br />recognition of your company's commitment to our community. Therefore, we would like to finalize the <br />pertinent details as soon as possible so we can complete the planning process. <br />On behalf of the City of Little Canada, I want to thank you considering this project. We look forward to <br />hearing from you. <br />Sincerely, <br />James LaValle <br />Council Member <br />Cc: Mayor & City Council <br />Jim Morelan, Parks & Recreation Director <br />Page 4 <br />
