THANKSGIVING LUTHERAN CHURCH REQUEST The Council considered a letter from TLC requesting a 3 -year extension of their contract to use the Rice Lake Park Building for church services. Gary Meyer, representing the church, stated that they would like to use the building following the expiration of the current Lease Agreement on August 31, 2001. Because the City would be committing the building for another five years (approximate), the Council wished to consider the long-term use of the building. Council member Petryk stated that the City might be able to utilize the building in light of the "growing pains" being experienced by the City. Mr. Meyer will be working with the Parks Commission in an effort to balance use, and costs shared, of the facility. No formal action was taken on the request at this time.
