<br />CASE # 1 <br /> <br />CONSIDER NAMING CENTRAL PARK'S SHELTER AND CONCESSION STAND <br />"LION'S PAVILION" <br />By: Mark Riverblood, Parks Supervisor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />In 2006, City Council authorized the construction of the replacement of the concession stand and <br />shelter at Central Park with a significantly larger, modern structure. The approximately <br />$425,000 project was initiated by a $367,000 contribution from the Ramsey Lions for this <br />purpose. <br /> <br />The Ramsey Lions have functioned as the most prominent philanthropic organization in the City <br />for decades. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />This spring, both the Park and Recreation Commission and City Council have unanimously <br />supported recognizing the Lions for their contribution towards the park building with a $500 <br />allocation for this purpose. Previously, a plaque to be affixed to this building was suggested and <br />approved. More recently, a 'community montage' is being organized, and the Lions have <br />expressed interest in being represented with this project. With the Lions not having a home, or <br />place of business per se, it was suggested that perhaps the concession stand and shelter be <br />formally named the 'Lion's Pavilion,' and then both their logo may be placed on the building, <br />and the pavilion at Central Park would be their geographic location within the montage. <br /> <br />Martin Schindel, a representative for the Lions thought that above method of recognition may be <br />more appropriate than the plaque, and supports this modification in the recognition of the Lions <br />Club. <br /> <br />Ifthere is consensus to rename the shelter, a resolution may be placed on City Council's consent <br />agenda to formally affect this change. The cost of the 30" inch logo is approximately $100 <br />dollars with shipping. <br /> <br />Staff Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends proceeding with the dedication, by formally renaming the park building the <br />"Lions Pavilion". Attached for your information is an image of the logo, and the proposed <br />location upon the building. <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Motion to recommend that the park building be renamed "Lions Pavilion". <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Director of Public W orks/Principal City Engineer <br /> <br />P&R: 6110/10 <br />
