MEMO T0: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Comnissioners <br />FROM: Staff <br />DATE: October 23, 1979 <br />RE: Mrs. daycees Proposal <br />Enclosed are pictures of two benches that have been proposed for donation by <br />the Mounds View Mrs. Jaycees. The Mrs. Jaycees have a totat of E200 they would <br />like to danate to the City park system for the purchase of benches whi�ch would <br />be used at neighboring tot lots for parents to view their children wMle they <br />are playin The wooden Big Toy bench is proposed to be located at Lambert Park <br />— and casts �235. The new slat bench is a Miracle and proposed to be located at <br />Hillview Park at a cost of $165. <br />As the Mrs. Jaycees oniy have $200, it would be the City's responsibility to <br />match that $200 with City funds to pay for the total bill. There currently is <br />enough money in the Recreation Actiivity Fund ta offset the deficit of the benches <br />' which would be approximately $250. Staff has met with Mrs. Jaycees and concurrs <br />with the proposed recommendations as they would blend in with the existing equip- <br />ment and serve a much needed funcEion. The Park Commission has the following <br />options: <br />7. Purchase both benches at a cost of approximatety 5450 and match the <br />donation with $250 from the Recreation Activity Fund. <br />2. Purchase just the Miracle bench for approximately E200 and not expend <br />any monies fran the Recreation Activity Fund. <br />3. Deny the donation until enough money is raised to purchase the henches <br />that the Park Commission wouid like. <br />4, Tatile any action for additional Staff revievr. <br />Sta1f vautd recm�aend option bl as both benches are needed at this pdint and <br />tliere a�e currentty enough funds availabte in the Recreation Activtty Account <br />and the donatton would be a welcome relief to our already tight fiscai budget. <br />
