Lions present were Mr. Mike Schafer, Mr. Gordie Berger, Mr. Chuck Lind and Mr. <br />Allen tfurner. <br /> <br />Mt'. Bergcr indicated they would like the new shelter to be located where the old shelter is at now <br />in Central Park.

He indicated they will have the building set up so in the future they <br />could put walls up for a more enclosed building. <br /> <br />Mr. Bcrger stated they are currently donating money to the City and would like to continue to do <br />this but they would need to donate seventy percent of the cost of this building by June 30th and <br />then continue to make donations to pay for the rest of the building. <br /> <br />(',hairperson Johns asked if this would be considered a cash donation and the City would build <br />this structure. <br /> <br />Mt'. llcrgcr stated the City would need to bid the building out and have it constructed. <br />Parks/[Jtilities Supervisor Riverblood asked the Lions if they explored donating the structure <br />without the bidding process. <br /> <br />Mr. ltumcr stated the problem was with funds. If they do not spend the money by June, they will <br />have to pay taxes on it again so they want to donate the money to the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Lind stated they cannot hold that amount of cash through out the fiscal year to fund this <br />building completely. He noted once they give the money to the City, they cannot tell the City <br />]]ow to usc the money. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns asked if the City were to use the monies in a different way similar to the <br />plans, would the Lions be upset. <br /> <br />Mr. Bcrgcr stated they would be disappointed but would live with it. <br /> <br />Chairperson Johns stated there has been conversation about fixing up the existing building and <br />installing a plaque on the building for the Lions, she wondered if this would be ok. <br /> <br />Park and Recreation Commission/May 12, 2005 <br /> Page 2 of 7 <br /> <br /> <br />
