MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item 5.1. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />Michele Bergh, Recreation Manager <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />October 13, 2003 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: CenterPoint Minnegasco Grant for the Skatepark <br /> <br />Arnie Hendrickson from CenterPoint Energy Minnegaso will be here to present a $1,500 <br />check to the city for the skatepark in Lions Park. We applied for a grant in mid-August to <br />help pay for the equipment at the park. <br /> <br />This is a new pilot grant program for cities served by the company. They offered grants to <br />cities for significant and planned special projects that have community support and meet <br />specific program criteria. The grants are targeted at public space enhancements and public <br />safety equipment. In 2003, the company planned to make grants of up to $2,500 to 50 <br />communities in its service territory. We feel extremely lucky to be one of the recipients. <br />This brings the total donations received to date for equipment to approximately $12,850. <br />The skatepark group has been fundraising since April of this year. <br /> <br /> <br />
