Lob Deuce said that the park commission has had .a band shelter <br />in the plans since the time the first r-iaps were drawn and if they <br />thought it should be built they should send that recommendation to <br />the council and they would find a way to finance it if they approved <br />the recommendation. <br />Larry Saiko asked if there was any way we could make it a two or <br />three year project, It may be the Lions Club would not approve <br />aid withhold the money. <br />Jim iorelan stated he was in favor of the shelter being built but <br />did not want any money to come from our budget this year as we committed are comitted to other things and will have to cut :� 4000.00 that <br />we had budgeted for. <br />A short survey was conducted of the schools in the area and St. Johns, <br />and Little Canada both enthusiasticly supported the idea of an <br />amphi- theature, stating that they would use it for student programs, <br />parent programs, senior citizens concerts and puppetry programs in <br />the summer. Kellogg's ,'r. Lueck thought he might be able to make <br />use of such a facility as did I=r. Ashenbrener at Hill- Lurray and <br />a municipal band from Roseville said they would be able to give <br />a number of concerts. <br />Jesperson said he realized the park budget is committed but with <br />the 7,300.00 in uncommitted funds he thought it could be managed. <br />fees <br />Ji::_orelan asked about the park fund'that was to be paid at the <br />time building permits were issued and Jesperson said he knew there <br />was money there earmarked for the park but he didn't know exactly <br />how much there was. It could be used at this time. <br />Dick Boss made the motion "that as a recommending body to the city <br />council that we accept the low bid from Dupre Construction Co. <br />for the construction of a band shelter. <br />Lotion seconded by Donovan and accepted unamiously. <br />Bill Sanders asked that it be put on the agenda tomorrow night. <br />The majority of people attending the meeting were in favor of <br />building a band shelter. Carl asked each person to respond and <br />they did favorably. <br />,'.orris Jesperson read a part of the contract with the school district <br />drawn up in August of 1975. At that time we entered into a 15 year <br />lease on the property with an opion to renew the lease for another <br />10 years, taking us into the year 2000. At that time the school <br />district should know what they will need to do with the property <br />and if they should sell we have first option of refusal. He thought <br />if we did have to buy at that time we could probably get the property <br />for what it cost the district, since they have paid no taxes on it. <br />Bill Sanders showed the map of the park to interested persons. <br />Jim iorelan asked that we find out how much money is available for <br />the park through building permit fees. Secretary was asked -to obtain <br />that information. <br />Meeting adjourned 8 :OOpm. <br />Jean Donovan, Secretary 48 <br />
