ity <br /> <br />of <br /> <br />River <br /> <br />Item #4.5. <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Mayor & City Council <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Admi~or <br />August 17, 1998 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Boys and Girls Club Update <br /> <br />Councilmember Thompson is the Chair of the temporary Board of Directors <br />of the Elk River Boys and Girls Club. Mayor Duitsman is also on the Board. <br />The Lions Club is working with this organization on the construction of a <br />facility in Lions Park. The Boys and Girls Club is moving forward with its <br />fundraising efforts in order to provide money for the construction of the <br />facility and for the operation of the Club during the first year. <br /> <br />Street/Park Superintendent Phil Hals and his crew have been working with <br />the Lions Club in the preparation of the building site. Additionally, Fire <br />Chief Bruce West was requested to use the aerial platform ladder truck in <br />order to provide water to the building site. Water was needed in order to <br />help the building site pass its compaction tests. I have recently talked with a <br />representative of one of the participating local financial institutions <br />regarding the lease between the city and the Boys and Girls Club. As I <br />understand it, the city attorney is still awaiting information from the Boys <br />and Girls Club and the local financial institutions in order to structure the <br />lease document. This lease document will allow for the construction to take <br />place in Lions Park consistent with the conditional use permit for the project <br />which has already been approved by the City Council. <br /> <br />Councilmember Thompson or Mayor Duitsman will be in attendance at this <br />meeting and should be able to provide everyone with an update on the <br />progress that is being made on this project. <br /> <br />\\elkriver \sys\shr doc\council\b & gclub.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
