<br />fEB I 2 Z007 <br /> <br />To: Elk River City Council <br />From: Elk River Lions (Harold Gramst~ <br />Date: 2-12-07 .. . <br /> <br />Elk River Lions over the years has partnered with the City on some major projects. The <br />City acquired the 33 acre Lions Park through this process. We also built a Boys & Girls <br />Club on City park land. We most recently built the Lions Park facility building on City <br />Park land. <br /> <br />We again have and interest in partnering with the City to build a Splash Park. Our first <br />preference would be to have it built in the Lions Park. The Lions have had some <br />discussion the past couple years to do another major project (Splash Park). The funds <br />would be raised through our pull-tab operation. Because ofthe size of this endeavor we <br />are proposing using 40% of our pull-tab revenue over a 4 year period. <br /> <br />Currently a Splash Park is scheduled to be part of the proposed YMCA project. The <br />Lions would be willing to dedicate these funds to a Splash Park in that facility ifthere <br />would be a fee schedule that would be separate from the Y membership. Our intent is to <br />make this Splash Park readily accessible to as many community youth as possible and at <br />a moderate cost. <br /> <br />The fees collected from the Splash Park would go towards the operation and maintenance <br />ofthe Splash Park. <br />
