Councilmember Motin is also on the Board of <br />Directors. John Fitzgerald is the club's executive director, and Brian <br />Gustafson is its Program Director. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Boys and Girls Club is working with the Lions Club on the construction <br />of the facility in the city-owned Lions Park. The building began construction <br />in late spring 1999 and is nearing completion. The Boys and Girls Club <br />continue with its fundraising efforts for this construction project and for <br />operating revenues. A grand opening is anticipated some time in the near <br />future when the facility is completed. <br /> <br />Councilmember Thompson and/or Motin should be able to provide everyone <br />with an update on the status of this project at this October 18, 1999, City <br />Council meeting. <br /> <br />Attached to this memo is a request from John Fitzgerald for landfill waste <br />abatement funds for the Boys and Girls Club project. In February the council <br />determined that the Club would be a very appropriate demonstration site <br />and approved spending $65,000 from this fund for products made of recycled <br />material. The attached memo from Building and Zoning Administrator Steve <br />Rohlf reviews this request for additional funding and recommends approval. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
