CASE <br /> <br />CONSIDER ACCEPTING DONATION FROM LIONS CLUB FOR A BUILDING <br />IN CENTRAL PARK <br /> By: Leonard Linton, Civil Engineer II <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Thc Ramscy Lions Club has made two presentations to the Park and Recreation Commission <br />regarding replacing the concession stand in Central Park. The existing concession stand floor is <br />slightly below the adjacent grade and water collects on the floor during and after rain events. <br />Thc building is too small to serve the needs of the annual community picnic. <br /> <br />The Lions have accumulated money from their fund raising activities and would like to apply <br />the lhnds to replacing the concession stand. They have prepared preliminary drawings for the <br />replacement building using the resources of their club member&. The packet from their <br />presentation is attached and includes a proposed budget. <br /> <br />They have approximately 75% of the money saved up at this time, however the laws governing <br />their £undraising activities require that the money be moved off their books before June 30, <br />2005 or they will incur taxes and penalties. They cannot specify the intended use in their <br />bcqt~est to the City, however they would like to see the funds used for replacing the concession <br />stand. They have indicated that the remainder of the money should be available later this year <br />and they intend to donate the full amount for the building replacement to the city. <br /> <br />Thc project will need some additional structural engineering work prior to bidding. The project <br />would be administered through the city. There are contractors in the club that would like to bid <br />oa the project. The contract package could be tailored so that smaller contractors can bid on <br />portions of the work. <br /> <br />The Park and Recreation commission passed a motion to recommend the City accept the <br />donation from the Lions Club and continue to work with them to complete the replacement of <br />thc concession stand in Central Park. <br /> <br />Staff recommends accepting the donation and continuing to work with the Lions Club on <br />replacing the concession stand in Central Park. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to accept the donation of funds from the Lions Club <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br />Assistant Public Works Director/Principal City Engineer <br />f:immcc Director <br />City Administrator <br />Pub l ic Works Director <br /> <br />CC: 5/24/05 <br /> <br />-285- <br /> <br /> <br />
