<br /> <br /> <br />Current Annual Cost of the Hillview Park Shelter <br />Hillview Park Shelter electricity $868.32 and gas $1,203.43 Total $2,071.75. <br /> <br />Staff only checks the actual park shelter and not the grounds around it. It takes <br />two and half hours (2 ½ hr./ wk.) per week for maintenance on average. 2.5 X <br />$30 = $75 per week or $300 per month <br /> <br /> <br />Discussion Points <br />The Groveland building is in dire need of removal due to its deterioration. The <br />building was designed to be used as an add-on or expansion classroom and it <br />has long ago outlived its original intended lifespan of 5-7 years. The following are <br />points of consideration for replacement of the Groveland Park Shelter Building: <br /> <br /> The building does not have any overhang at the eves; this allows water <br />run off to flow down on siding and constantly promotes dampness. <br /> <br /> There has been a building budgeted for Groveland for the past 2 years <br />and Staff has been performing minimum maintenance on it because of its <br />condition. <br /> <br /> The Groveland building is utilized as a warming house and a summer <br />program area. It is used by numerous scout groups, and for family picnics <br />and get-togethers. (The majority of the users are Mounds View residents.) <br /> <br /> There have been groups that could not get into the Silver View <br />Park.shelter because it was booked so they opted for Groveland over <br />Hillview because of the trees and other amenities. <br /> <br /> The plans that were designed for Hillview could be used at Groveland with <br />some small revisions to enable a food serving area and a lockable <br />storage. These additions could be paid for with what the City would save <br />on architect and engineer fees. <br /> <br /> Groveland Park is a good choice for a building of this type because of the <br />makeup of the park. (Playground covering various ages, a ball field, <br />volleyball court, basketball tennis courts, lots of green space and a picnic <br />area.) <br /> <br /> Staff recommends that if a park building is eliminated, that it be <br />replace the Random building. (Staff feels that we should be able to get <br />another 5 to 7 years with some maintenance.) <br /> <br /> Anything that the Random building is being used for at this time could be <br />done at the MVCC.
