A, Park Benches, Ed Laun reported that Bill Larson has spoken to MTC regarding the cement bench ends they will donate to be used at Lakeside. All we need to purchase is treated lumber for the seats and backs, which should run about $26.00 per bench. These can be installed along the sidewalk, but will need to be placed on cement pads to comply with ADA. B. Fishing pier install dates. Marian Rygwall reported the DNR is aiming for the pier to be installed by June 5th as the Tower Days celebration is the following weekend. The DNR would like to be present for the June 12th events at Lakeside to answer questions about the lake and to promote fishing at Spring Lake. C. Financial Review. The 2004 revenues and expenditures where reviewed. The gazebo installation costs came in on budget. The current fund balance is $4,505.60. D. Picnic tables for the gazebo. The 6 six foot tables and 2 eight foot handicap accessible tables were ordered in December and have come in. They will not be put in the gazebo until May. The tables are recycled plastic the same as the tables under the grandparent. shelter. The metal tables under the Jaycee shelter are always being vandalized. Kids jump on the benches bending them. Last summer Lion Paul Caouette witnessed this vandalism and called the police. The plastic tables are heavy and have not been disturbed. This winter, the Spring Lake Park Public Works crew, have been reinforcing the old tables with steel bars. Hopefully this will correct the problem.
