a <br /> MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL <br /> FROM: MARY. SAARION, DIRECTOR '�'� �•p• �' •+ <br /> PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY 0 `,:•> •,,, <br /> DATE: OCTOBER 8, 1987 <br /> RE: LAKESIDE PARK BEACH HOUSE VANDALISM <br /> This past weekend, Lakeside Park Beach House was vandalized. The Fridley <br /> Police were driving on the south side of County Road I and noticed smoke <br /> corning from the beach house windows. The Fire Department was called. <br /> Evidently young children (determined by small footprints in the soot) had <br /> entered the building and started some cardboard boxes containing megaphones on <br /> fire in the wheelbarrow. The only detected damage to equipment was the <br /> telephone and one megaphone. However, a thin coat of soot is covering the <br /> entire interior of the building including equipment, carpet, walls, ceiling, <br /> etc. Forced entry was not detected. It is presumed by Spring Lake Park that <br /> perhaps the Spring Lake Park maintenance crew did not secure the doors <br /> properly when they last checked the building. <br /> Lakeside Park has a $5,000 deductable insurance policy so it probably will not <br /> pay to claim this damage. It is now in the hands of Spring Lake Park to find <br /> the time to clean the sooted building. If unable to accomplish the task, the <br /> beach staff in the spring of 1988 will have an extra duty during beach <br /> preparation. <br /> MS/s1 <br /> s <br /> • <br />
