17 <br /> • <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: July 25, 2000 Meeting Date:August 8, 2000 <br /> TO: Mayor and Councilmembers <br /> FROM: Michael Mornson, City Manager <br /> ITEM: STAFF REPORT ON PROPOSED SKATE PARK <br /> • Plans and costs were developed for the construction of a Skate Park by the Parks Commission <br /> with input on the configuration/design from a Youth Task Force headed by a St. Anthony High <br /> School youth representative from the Safe and Affordable Youth Activities Commission. The <br /> Parks Commission recommended approval at their June 12, 2000 meeting. The Skate Park <br /> would be located behind the Community Center over the old Central Park hockey site. Bids <br /> were received for the Skate Park design and construction; surface paving; and fencing and can <br /> be executed independently. <br /> Funds for the project would be transferred to the Park Improvement Fund from the 1999 <br /> profits of the Liquor Operations as outlined in the attached memo from the Finance Director. <br /> This skate park is part of the overall plan for the redevelopment of Central Park. Because the <br /> park is a Tier 1 facility (less than three feet), there is no additional cost for insurance. <br /> RECOMMENDA770N <br /> Recommend approval of Resolution 00-054 which authorizes funding and approves the vendors <br /> as listed in the resolution (attached). <br /> • <br />
