Item No. 8E Meeting Date: April 26, 2004 Type of Business: CA WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City Administrator Review _______ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Resolution No. 6233 Authorizing the Expenditure of Park Dedication Funds for the Lakeside Lions Park Fishing Pier Background: The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has a program entitled, “Fishing in the Neighborhood” (FIN). As part of this program, the DNR has dedicated a grant to the Lakeside Lions Park for constructing a floating fishing pier. The pier would be 104 feet in length and have a “T” section on the end. The total estimated cost of the pier is $22,200. The DNR Grant is for $12,200. The remaining $10,000 will need to be raised from several other sources, some of which may include: Spring Lake Park Lions, Fridley Lions, and donations. The DNR will also be stocking the lake this spring with large mouth bass and black crappies. Discussion: The Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission is in support of this project. In October 2003, the estimated amount needing to be raised for construction of the fishing pier was $12,000 (the total estimated cost of $22,200 minus the DNR grant of $12,200). At their October 23, 2003 meeting, the Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commissioners made a motion to recommend the expenditure of $6,000 to be derived from the City’s Park Dedication Fund to help finance the fishing pier. This motion passed unanimously: however, it was never acted upon. As of this date additional contributions have been made. A breakdown of the donations and grants for the fishing pier at Lakeside follows: Minnesota DNR: $12,200.00 Spring Lake Park Lions: $ 6,000.00 Mounds View Lions: $ 2,000.00 Spring Lake Park Hockey: $ 1,000.00 Fridley VFW: $ 100.00 Total: $21,300.00
