Lino Lakes Parks and Recreation Department 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 (651) 982 -2440 Fax (651) 982 -2439 www.ci.lino - lakes.mn.us Date: January 27, 2011 TO: Park Board Members FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director SUBJECT: Consider 2011 Park Board Goals Attached is the 2010 year end Park Dedication Fund Summary. As you can see there was very limited activity. There are currently $25,802 of undesignated funds. The Park Board has the option to recommend a 2011 Park Board goal to the City Council, or to determine the use of the undesignated funds at a future time. One project for consideration is a new park shelter at Sunrise Park. In July, 2010 Park Shelter #2 at Sunrise Park was damaged during a storm resulting in several roof panels needing replacement. In addition, the existing support posts and concrete pad have deteriorated over the past 25+ years. There is an additional park shelter (Park Shelter #1) near the main parking lot. This park shelter is also 25+ years old and is in rough shape (damaged roof, rusted posts, and heaving concrete pad). Sunrise Park is by far the most heavily used city park in Lino Lakes. Staff is recommending to completely remove Park Shelter #2 and replace Park Shelter #1 with a new shelter. Estimated costs for a new park shelter are $25,000, including materials, installation, concrete slab, and footings. Insurance coverage for the damage to Park Shelter #2 amounts to $6,000 which could be applied toward the purchase of a new park shelter. With the summer playground program starting mid -June and the Family Corn Roast and Community Night scheduled for July 28, staff suggests that we proceed quickly if the Park Board determines that this should be a 2011 Park Board Goal. If so, staff would forward the recommendation to the City Council for approval. Sw /parkboard /meeting information /Consider 2011 Park Board Goals.com
