Lino Lakes Park Board Meeting Tuesday, January 11, 1993 dollars into the Shores of Marshan Park Building. " (A copy of this letter is attached at the end of these minutes. ) The council proposal estimates the cost of the move/renovation to be $63,500. Linda went on to explain that the council did not have a lot of information for the last park board meeting in December because the proposed budget was still being put together at that time. Funds for the move/renovation of the Shores of Marshan Park Building will be taken from a variety of sources. The council has asked that the Park Board consider spending $12,500 from Dedicated Park funds, along with $8,500 of Solid Waste funds and $42,500 from the General Fund.

Bob Williams explained that he was not in favor of this project in the beginning, but after looking over the building, he too, feels that this is a good value for the investment. He thinks if the board can obtain additional property adjoining, it will be a good future park area. Brian Bourassa also agrees that this is a good value for the investment, but reminded the board that they had previously agreed that spending park funds on a renovation project for city offices was the lowest on their priority list. MOTION: A motion was made and seconded, and a vote of the board showed that George Lindy, Ken Johnson, Bob Williams and Joe Schmidt voted in favor of recommending that council proceed with plans to use $12, 500 of dedicated park funds to renovate the Shores of Marshan Park Building for Parks and Recreation Department use. Brian Bourassa abstained from voting. It should be noted here that although Joe Schmidt did not attend this meeting, he had given Marty Asleson his proxy vote in favor of the project. Motion passed. Mr. Schmidt asked Marty to also reiterate his feelings favoring the use of temporary walls in the renovation of the 3
