. ELK RIVER LIONS P. O. Box 368 Elk River, Minnesota 55330 Telephone: (763) 441-4112 Fax: (763) 441-5176 November 9, 2000 City of Elk River 13065 Orono Parkway Elk River, Minnesota 55330 Attention: Mr. Pat Klears Dear Pat, Re: Addition to Lions' Park Shelter The Elk River Lions Club proposes to build an addtion to the existing shelter in Lions' Park. As per meeting with city staff a 40' x 108' x 14' building size has been chosen. The Lions Club will committ $240,000.00 toward this project. The plans call for a building that would have a large meeting room to accommodate approximately 200 people. There would be an area to house the Communtiy Recreation department. Another area _ould be a permanent location for the Lions to hold their meetings and display memoribellia, hold ~ancake breakfasts and other occasional functions. Our hope is that the building would be used by many civic organizations such as community recreation for some of their programming, senior citizens groups, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and this type of group, Lions, Rotary, etc. It will be a place for pancake breakfasts and other like activities. It could be rented for small wedding receptions or family reunions, at the City's discresion. We would like the city to own and operate the building. Financing plans include $100,000.00 cash by Elk River Lions and a three year bank loan of $140,000.00 guarnteed by the city land, being paid back by Lions Club pull tab profits. We will need the City to also guarntee the loan if for any reason the pull tab operation ceases to exist for the Lions Club, Some additional costs are permit, SAC, WAC, city engineering and city staff time. Because of the cost and size of this project, we request these costs be either paid by the city or waved. Thank you in advance for your help with this project.
