Item: 9.2.C. <br />t~ver <br />Parks and <br />Recreation <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Commission Members <br />FROM: Ross Demant, Recreation Coordinator <br />DATE: June 28`h, 2007 <br />SUBJECT: Lions Park Band Shell <br />The band shell located at Lions Park has been an ongoing concern for both the Park and <br />Recreation and Police Departments. The band shell has to be cleaned out and repaired <br />almost daily because of the garbage, graffiti, and destruction left behind by the young adults <br />who frequent it. The staff at Lions Park also have had to call the police on numerous <br />occasions due to young adults smoking and doing suspected illegal behavior. <br />If the band shell is removed, the current performances that take place there can still do so on <br />the stage. For larger performances that required the shell for protection against the elements <br />a tent can be rented and erected on the stage that would be able to provide the same <br />protection. Also by removing the shell, a large obstacle would be removed allowing for the <br />entire park to be viewed and enjoyed whether you are on the walking path or on the road. <br />
