ITEM: Authorize hiring Design Forum to prepare conceptual schematic designs of park shelters
SUBMITTED BY: Carol Kriegler, Project Assistant
REVIEWED BY: Susan Hoyt, City Administrator
Park Commission, (in progress)
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: The city council is being asked to authorize the hiring of Jerry Mazzara of Design Forum to do some conceptual schematic designs of park shelters. The
firm proposes to provide several design schematics for a structure that will illustrate a pattern or theme of form and materials that will have future applications to park structures
and elements. Our fee for these initial concepts will be $1,200.00. The purpose for this request was generated by the Park Commission’s opportunity to receive a $7,000 grant from Lowe’s
for materials to build a park shelter as well as the Commission’s interest in developing some park signs that provide the consistency and design elements reflective of Lake Elmo. The
Park Commission is considering this proposal at its Monday meeting. The Jerry Mazzara of Design Forum was asked because Jerry has been involved in Lake Elmo architecture for some
time including planning for the Village and the design of the PCA building behind Hagberg’s. His familiarity and design sensitivity provide some assurance that he can cost effectively
provide architectural design expertise. If approved, the park fund will cover the costs of this work out of its fund balance, which exceeds $1,000,000.
Suggested motion for consideration
Move to authorize the hiring of Design Forum Architect Jerry Mazzara to do conceptual schematic designs of park shelters with a patterns and themes for consideration in future architectural
park elements for up to $1,200 from the Park Dedication fund.
