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 />
