RESOLUTION APPROVING A JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT WITH
THE CITY OF SPRING LAKE PARK CONCERNING THE OPERATION
AND MANAGEMENT OF LAKESIDE LIONS PARK
WHEREAS, the cities of Spring Lake Park and Mounds View jointly own and operate
Lakeside Lions Park located on Hillview Drive; and,
WHEREAS, the property currently known as Lakeside Lions Park was deeded to the
Cities of Mounds View and Spring Lake Park by Park Playground Inc., a Minnesota
corporation, in 1959, and the deed contained language requiring the property to revert back
to Park Playground Inc. in the event the City Councils determined to use this land for
something other than park land; and,
WHEREAS, at that time, the City Councils agreed to jointly operate said park for
playground and recreational purposes and created the Lakeside Park Commission,
comprised of representation from both cities, charged with the responsibility of providing a
well-balanced recreational program and granted whatever general and specific powers
necessary to provide said program; and,
WHEREAS, the Lakeside Park Commission was dissolved in 1981 and the cities
continued to jointly operate the park without any formal agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Mounds View City Council does
hereby approve a Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Spring Lake Park, attached
herein as Exhibit 1, to formalize both cities' ongoing responsibilities.
Adopted this 23rd day of November, 2009
