C ain thou <br /> OM <br /> a OVAL, : <br /> DATE : A P PR <br /> September 9, 1989 <br /> TO : <br /> Mayor and Councilmembers <br /> ]MOM : <br /> Sue VanderHeyden Acting City Manager <br /> ITEM : REQUEST FOR FUNDS TO PURCHASE PARK BENCHES AT WILSHIRE PARK <br /> Shirley Nordahl, a member of the. Wilshire Park Elementary School PTA, <br /> has been working with a number of organizations to improve Wilshire <br /> Park. <br /> Over the summer a number of pieces of new equipment have been purchased <br /> and placed in the park. The new equipment has made the park safer as <br /> well as having greatly increased the park's use. <br /> Some of the contributing organizations to the equipment include: School <br /> District 282; Sports Boosters; Tri-City American Legion; Lions Club; and <br /> the PTA itself. In addition, the City has assisted by removing old, <br /> unsafe equipment and excavating for the new equipment. <br /> The City is now being asked to purchase 2 - 3 park benches for those <br /> that use the park. The PTA group believes that many St. Anthony <br /> residents use Wilshire Park, not just school children. Therefore, they <br /> feel justified in this request... <br /> Attached is the intended bench and purchase cost. <br /> The cost for 2 benches would be approximately $650.00. The cost for 3 <br /> benches would be approximately $950.00. <br /> There is money available in the Capital Equipment Fund in the park <br /> equipment area for this purchase. However, we have recently had a <br /> request from a group of concerned residents for a number-of improvements <br /> to Emerald Park. Public Works Director Hamer feels he could begin some <br /> of those improvements with the same funds (approximately $1,300) . <br /> The other option would be to purchase the benches from funds in the <br /> Parks Department-General -Supplies. <br /> :cjk9.12.89 <br />
