• <br />• <br />AGENDA ITEM NO. 5B <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br />COUNCIL MEETING DATE: February 14, 2011 <br />TOPIC: Consideration of Resolution No. 11 -21, Approving <br />2011 Park Board Goals <br />VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Park Board met on February 7th to discuss potential projects for 2011. After <br />extensive discussion, the Park Board unanimously recommended that $25,000 of <br />Dedicated Park Funds be designated for the installation of an open air shelter at <br />Sunrise Park. <br />Sunrise Park has two existing shelters that were installed 25+ years ago. This past <br />summer, Park Shelter #2 was damaged during a storm resulting in several roof panels <br />needing replacement. Since this type of shelter is no longer in production, new panels <br />would have to be fabricated, resulting in substantial expense. In addition, the support <br />posts and concrete pad are in poor condition. Park Shelter #1 has also deteriorated <br />over the years. <br />Staff is recommending that both existing shelters be removed and the new shelter be <br />installed near the main parking lot, where Park Shelter #1 is currently situated. Park <br />maintenance staff can undertake the demolition /removal of both shelters. The City will <br />also receive approximately $6,000 from the LMCIT due to the roof damage that <br />occurred to Park Shelter #2 this past summer. <br />Our intent is to have the new park shelter ready for use by the beginning of our summer <br />playground program that commences mid -June. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Approve Resolution 11 -21 and authorize staff to implement the 2011 Park <br />Board Goals. <br />2. Return to staff for further review. <br />• RECOMMENDATION: <br />Option 1. <br />
