Background/Discussion The band shell at Lion John Weicht Park was constructed in 1990 with the help of several individuals and organizations. It has served the community for nearly 30 years supporting numerous recreation programs, community events, and has served as a rental facility for local organizations. It has exceeded its expected life span. With concerns for its structural integrity, the band shell was inspected by the city building official in June of 2018. The inspection found the structure did not pose an imminent threat to the public,but major repairs were required if the structure was to continue to be used beyond 2018. In addition to its current condition, the structures location is in conflict with future improvements detailed with the Active Elk River plan. As a result, staff is recommending removal of the band shell to eliminate the potential hazards and prepare for redevelopment of the park. Staff solicited quotes for demolition of the band shell and received three quotes with the lowest quote from Rachel Contracting of$7,900. Financial Impact Staff recommends utilizing$7,900 from the 2018 Park Maintenance Operating Budget for the demolition of the Band Shell.
