LITTLE CANADA PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT 515 Little Canada Road / Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 Telephone: (612) 484.2177 / Fax: 484 -4538 JIM MORELAN, Director JACK FITZGERALD, Asst. Director MICHELLE DeBACE, Program Coordinator MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council FROM: Jim Morelan, Parks & Recreation Director DATE: June 10, 1996 RE: Picnic Shelter /Spooner Park A meeting was held on Tuesday, June 4, 1996 to discuss the proposed shelter that will replace the existing north shelter at Spooner Park. Present were three members of the Canadian Days Committee, two members of the Parks & Recreation Commission, two Eli Road residents, Bill Sanders, and myself. The general discussion concerned many aspects of the proposed shelter. It was the consensus of the Shelter Committee that a larger shelter, with bathrooms and a food serving area, would be needed. The members had seen several shelters in the area that had features similar to what was desired, but not any of the shelters had all of the desired features. The Shelter Committee is in very close agreement as to what they would desire in this shelter and feel this may result in the amount of work required by a building architect being decreased. The members recommended that a building architect be hired and proceed with the design, as the Shelter Committee would so direct. At their June 6 meeting, the Parks & Recreation Commission was informed of the discussion of the Shelter Committee and concurred with their recommendation to proceed with the hiring of an architect. Construction would be scheduled to begin on September 1 and would be completed this fall, so it would not conflict with the bulk of the park shelter rentals. The Shelter Committee is looking forward to future meetings with the architect. JM:kv Page 1
