1111 MEMO TO: Mounds View Parks and Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Bruce K. Anderso , si =:• ori' <br /> Parks, Recreation . lii-1 es /- y <br /> DATE: March 27, 1985 <br /> RE: Groveland Park Foundation request for funding <br /> Attached is a request form from the Groveland Park Foundation <br /> requesting a $2 , 500 match for their long term project of develop- <br /> ing a creative play environment at Groveland Park. Staff has met <br /> with the Groveland Park Foundation to review the development of a <br /> creative play environment at Groveland Park and we have received <br /> two formal bids for equipment ranging from $14 ,000 - $16 ,000. <br /> As you are aware , the Groveland Park Foundation submitted a re- <br /> quest in September , 1984 for a $2, 500 match and this second <br /> request would be for an additional $2 ,500. It is my understand- <br /> ing that the Groveland Park Foundation would take the $5,000 <br /> grant from the City' s Neighborhood Park Planning Fund and match <br /> 1111 it with an additional $5 ,000 which would make for $10 ,000 ,and <br /> than add an additional $2,500 from the savings, which would make <br /> $12 ,500. They would then request that the City Council "ear <br /> mark" $2,500 from contingency to put the entire package together. <br /> Staff has been in touch with Honeywell , Inc . and Jon Pekel, on <br /> three separate occasions in the past three months, and Honeywell <br /> has requested that they would like to have a project underway <br /> prior to a second grant. Based on Groveland Park Foundations <br /> past record and their interest in this project to date , staff <br /> would recommend the approval of a second $2 ,500 request so that <br /> we can have a project completed and get the necessary publicity <br /> to promote requests from other industries throughout the school <br /> district. A representative from the Groveland Park Foundation <br /> should be in attendance at Thursday' s meeting to review their <br /> specific requests from the Park Commission and any questions you <br /> may have in this issue may be directed towards staff at Thurs- <br /> day' s meeting or by phone prior to the meeting at 784-3055, ext. <br /> #20. <br /> 1111 BKA/sll <br /> Attachment <br />
