River Item # 4.4. MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: Mayor and City Council Michele McPhersJ~~irector of Planning DATE: January 20, 2004 SUBJECT: Park and Recreation Commission Update The Park and Recreation Commission meet on Wednesday, January 14, 2004. While the agenda was relatively light, the item discussions made for a lengthy meeting. The Commission thoroughly discussed the request by the Lions for additional signage at Lions Park Center, the request from Sherburne County Health to establish a policy for tobacco- free recreation, and reviewed and recommended approval of the 2004 CIP Budget. Sign Request by Elk River Lions Tony Mikols attended the meeting to request approval of three signs for the building. The Lions are proposing a wall sign for the north face of the building in the gable area, which will say "Lions Park Center" and include both the Lions Club logo and the City logo (see attached photo). The final sign design was negotiated between Mr. Mikols and the Commission. The Lions have elected to dedicate the meeting room to Les Anderson, the Lions member instrumental in envisioning the building and encouraging its construction. They would like to identify the meeting room as the "Lion Les Anderson Community Room". The Commission noted that this is a new concept and that in the past the Council has been hesitant to name individual parks after individuals in the community, but that this is a space and that the Council may not have any concerns with this concept. The third sign will be a larger sign (2' x 6') inside the meeting room which will include a slogan acknowledging the past, present and future of the community, the Lions involvement in the building/meeting room, and that the community room is for the enjoyment of all Elk River citizens. The Lions Club will be purchasing the signs and paying for their installation.
