Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />January 19, 1999 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Boys and Girls Club Update <br /> <br />Councilmember Thompson is the Chair of the Board of Directors of the Elk <br />River Boys and Girls Club. Councilmember Motin is also on the Board of <br />Directors. The Lions Club is working with this organization for the <br />construction of a facility in Lions Park. The Boys and Girls Club is moving <br />forward with its fund raising efforts in order to provide money for the <br />construction of the facility and the operation of the club. Attached is a <br />1/13/99 Star News article on another Boys and Girls Club fundraising effort <br />which is the auctioning off of the Randy Moss autographed football. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />From all accounts, it seems like ground will not be broken for the <br />construction of a new facility until early spring 1999. The draft ground lease <br />between the city and the club is in near final form, but has yet to be signed. <br />The Council approved the lease with some minor changes on December 7, <br />1998, (the conditional use permit was approved on May 18, 1998). As I <br />understand the situation, the local banks and the Boys and Girls Club are <br />still working out the final details of the project finances. <br /> <br />A Boys and Girls Club Board of Directors meeting was held on Thursday, <br />January 14, and either Councilmember Thompson or Motin should be able to <br />provide everyone with an update on the status of this project. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
