CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM 3A <br /> <br /> <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Jeff Karlson <br /> <br />MEETING DATE: May 14, 2018 <br /> <br />TOPIC: Resolution No. 18-58, 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 a resolution supporting financial contributions to <br />school districts for playground structures. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />During the April 2nd work session, the Council heard comments from Lino Lakes residents who <br />supported the use of park dedication fees for new playground equipment at Rice Lake <br />Elementary. Mayor Reinert said he would reach out to Superintendent Brian Dietz to propose <br />that the City and Centennial School District work together to come up with a solution for <br />funding the park improvements. <br /> <br />Mayor Reinert and Superintendent Dietz met and came up with a resolution for improving or <br />expanding playground structures on school property. Mayor Reinert has proposed a financial <br />match of 50% of funds spent on playground structures by a school district, not to exceed <br />$20,000 per year (which includes the Forest Lake School District), provided the playground <br />structure is located in Lino Lakes, is accessible to the public, and is for playground equipment <br />only. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />Staff is recommending approval of Resolution No. 18-58, Supporting Financial Contributions <br />to School Districts for Playground Structures. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS <br /> <br />Resolution No. 18-58
