CC Work Session 2, 3, <br />Meeting Date: 01/25/2022 <br />Information <br />Title: <br />Consider Loral I. Armstrong Delaney Central Park Flag Request <br />Purpose/Background: <br />In October 2021 a Ramsey resident, Mr. Patrick Surma, appeared before the Council and requested that the City <br />consider installing a large ("Perkins style") flag in the Loral I. Armstrong Delaney Central Park. Subsequently, he <br />provided a cashiers check in the amount of $100 to the City to support this project. <br />The purpose of this meeting is to determine the Council's level of interest in pursuing this project. Staff received a <br />quote from a flag company (solicited by the resident) that provided a quote of $16,305 for a 70 -ft flag pole with a <br />15X25 foot flag. <br />If approved to move forward, staff would work with residents to identify a specific location and funds for the <br />project. Staff concerns for maintenance and upkeep will be addressed. <br />In recent years, the City worked with the Anoka Ramsey Athletic Association to move a flag pole from a <br />redevelopment site (Sunfish Express) to Alpine Park and conducted a dedication ceremony. <br />Timeframe: <br />10 minute discussion. <br />Funding Source: <br />Funding would need to be identified and could come from City/Park capital funding sources or a combination of <br />city funds and private donations (e.g., city match of dollars raised by residents). It is recommended that this project <br />be funded all or in part through private donations. <br />Responsible Party(ies): <br />Kurt Ulrich, City Administrator <br />Outcome: <br />Direction based on discussion. <br />flag quote <br />Surma Request <br />Attachments <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Kurt Ulrich (Originator) Kurt Ulrich 01/19/2022 03:07 PM <br />Form Started By: Kurt Ulrich Started On: 01/19/2022 10:49 AM <br />Final Approval Date: 01/19/2022 <br />
