Mr. Eloffstated this is usually worked out between the City and County when the trail is built. <br /> <br />PRESENTATION BY THE LIONS GROUP REGARDING AN <br />UPGRADE/REPLACEMENT OF THE CURRENT CENTRAL PARK LIONS <br />BUILDING (CONCESSION STAND). <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler introduced the Lions Group to the Park Commission and stated they came to <br />the Commission with an idea for a park structure. <br /> <br />Mr. Tim Carine, Lions President, introduced the lions to the Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Gordy Berger thought it was time to come up with a new structure for Central Park. He <br />showed the design m~d layout for the proposed structure. He stated they were presenting this to <br />see what the Cormnission thought of it. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns asked if the new building would be the same size. <br /> <br />Mr. Berger stated this would be four times the size and would include electricity. He stated they <br />would raise the floor higher and re-grade so it will not flood. <br /> <br />The Lions stated they would like the structure to be stable and last a long time. The block would <br />be graffiti proof. They indicated when talking with the Council, the City did not want a wood <br />building and the current structure is showing its wear and will not last much longer. <br /> <br />Mr. Berger stated there would be a stage area in the building for presentations. He noted the <br />stage area would need to be low enough for liability reasons. <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler stated they are researching ways to discourage skateboarders on City property <br />and maybe they could do something like this for the stage area. <br /> <br />lvlr. Carine stated one of the ideas with the stage being a permanent thing is it could be a band <br />shell type of idea. <br /> <br />Commissioner Ostrum stated he would like to see the stage permanently placed in the shelter. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns agreed. <br /> <br />A1 (a representative of the Ramsey Lions) stated this would be available to anyone to use and the <br />do plan on having electricity to the building with a panel that would lock so there would not be <br />power to the outlets unless turned on. He indicated they would also have lighting that would <br />automatically turn on at dusk. <br /> <br />A1 (a representative of the Ramsey Lions) stated the kitchen area will be tamper proof. <br /> <br />Mr. Berger stated it would be more of a serving area without running water. <br /> <br /> Park and Recreation Commission/March 10, 2005 <br /> Page 4 of 11 <br /> <br /> <br />
