CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 3A <br /> <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Karlson <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: May 13, 2019 <br /> <br />TOPIC: Resolution No. 19-47, Supporting Financial Contributions to <br />School Districts for Playground Structures <br /> <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br /> <br /> <br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />The City Council is being asked to approve an updated resolution, which supports financial <br />contributions to school districts for playground structures. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Last May the City Council adopted a resolution in support of funding new playground <br />equipment on school district property with conditions. The resolution provided an annual <br />matching contribution from the City for up to $20,000. <br /> <br />Included on the May 13th agenda is a fund request from the Centennial School District for new <br />playground equipment at Rice Lake Elementary. <br /> <br />Staff recently found out that Lino Lakes Elementary (Forest Lake School District) would also <br />like to submit a fund request for new playground equipment. There was a question about <br />whether funds would be available this year for Lino Lakes Elementary. It is staff’s opinion that <br />Resolution No. 18-58, which was adopted last May, was intended to provide funding “not to <br />exceed $20,000 per year.” <br /> <br />Since the City may receive more than one funding request per year from the school districts, <br />staff revised last year’s resolution by including additional guidelines for future requests. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 19-47, Supporting Financial Contributions <br />to School Districts for Playground Structures. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />Resolution No. 19-47 <br />Resolution No. 18-58
