Mrs. Liljedahl reported on the special meeting held earlier this evening on the four season building they are proposeing to be constructed at the City Hall Park. This is a walk out, two story structure, expandable with a rough estimate on construction of $60,000.00/$70,000.00. The use of a solar heating system has been discussed. Mr. Larry Crouse, a member of the Park Board has agreed to assist the City in applying for a grant. How- ever, if a grant is applied for for this building, the construction will have to be delayed until next year, and the Park Board would prefer to start on this as soon as possible. The very rough preliminary plans were discussed with Mrs. Liljedahl saying that with Mr. Mobley's assistance, these plans could be completed for under $1,000.00. The person who would do the drawings is not a registered acrhitect, but the plans could be certified by Mr. Gotwald. The fee for a registered architect is usually 10% of the cost, which in this case could run as high as $7,000.00. The Park Board is asking the Council to consider the construction of this building. Mr. McLean asked what the uses would be and who would use the building? Mrs. Liljedahl said the lower level would be used as a warming house, the LARA, Scouts, Lions, J.C. all could use part of this building for meetings. She felt the school facilites are over used and over crowded and there is a definite need for such a building in this City. Mr. Zelinka explained that Mr. Crouse works with the grants program and has agreed to assist the staff and park board members in applying for a grant for the use in the park system at $16.00 per hour. Mr. McLean moved to authorize the expenditure of up to $1200.00 for build- ing plans and Mr. Crouse to assist in writing the grant application to be taken from the dedicated park funds, plans to be reviewed by Mr. Gotwald.
