• MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Director <br /> Parks, Recreation and Forestry <br /> DATE: September 22, 1982 <br /> RE: Park Shelter Buildings <br /> The Mounds View City Council directed staff to negotiate the purchase of <br /> three park shelter buildings from Ken Ernst House Movers at a cost of not <br /> to exceed $24,000 for purchase, relocation, and for all building modification. <br /> Staff is meeting with Mr. Ernst on Thursday afternoon along with our pro- <br /> posed contractor from Stenco Construction to negotiate a firm price for the <br /> buildings and determine the specific dates and locations for delivery. <br /> Staff has enclosed a number of memos that were submitted to the City Council <br /> since our last Park Commission meeting regarding the feasibility of purchas- <br /> ing the buildings and which outline not only the proposed costs but also <br /> • include pictures of what the buildings would look like. The buildings are <br /> basically 24' x 32 ' classroom style buildings which are in extremely good <br /> condition, they are carpeted and have windows on one side and a two door <br /> entrance-exit system. In addition to being fully insulated on all six sides , <br /> the buildings also come with electric forced air furnaces and central air <br /> conditioning. <br /> Staff feels that although they are not ideal buildings from a vandal resistant <br /> perspective, with some modifications in our current staffing procedure, staff <br /> feels that the buildings would prove to be a welcome addition to our park <br /> system for a number of years down the road. Proposed locations for the three <br /> buildings are Groveland Park, Woodcrest Park and Hillview Park. <br /> The major issued that needs to be reviewed other than the final purchase price <br /> and building modifications are site locations. Staff has attached copies of the <br /> three park master plans for Groveland, Hillview and Woodcrest which outlines <br /> the proposed locations of the buildings and we will be discussing design <br /> • criteria alternatives regarding the proposed location sites at Thursday's <br /> meeting. <br />
