MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL <br /> FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY <br /> DATE: APRIL 9, 1990 <br /> SUBJECT: LAKESIDE PARK NAME CHANGE <br /> Parks and Recreation Director, Jay McCluskey, from the City of Spring Lake Park, <br /> called me the week of April 2 to inform me that the Spring Lake Park Lions Club had <br /> approached the Spring Lake Park City Council regarding a name change for Lakeside <br /> Park. The Lions are requesting the park's name be changed to Lion's Lakeside Park. <br /> The reason that was explained for this request was that the Spring Lake Park Lions <br /> have donated over $137,000 for improvements to Lakeside Park and they expect to <br /> donate an additional $84,000. Furthermore, the Lions Club intends to "adopt" <br /> Lakeside Park and provide an on-going funding program. The name change to include <br /> the "Lions" provides an added incentive for Lions members to continue their support of <br /> the funding of improvements to Lakeside Park. <br /> • The Spring Lake Park City Council approved the name change. However, because the <br /> park is under joint ownership, the City of Mounds View must also approve the name <br /> change. In addition, a public hearing must be held regarding the name change. <br /> Mr. Norman Kelzenberg, a Spring Lake Park Lion's member and member of the <br /> Lakeside Park Planning Committee has been requested to attend the agenda meeting <br /> on Monday, April 16, 1990 to make this request and to inform the Council of the <br /> additional contributions. <br /> MS/SL <br />
