Item # 9.C.I. >I\LI,* City of Elk River MEMORANDUM TO: Park and Recreation Commission FROM: Michele McPhersolr,"Director of Planning DATE: August 13, 2003 SUBJECT: Request from ISD #728 Regarding Resurfacing of VandenBerg Tennis Courts Attachments • Memo dated July 2, 2003 from Dr.Jensen Staff has been contacted by Laura Brown,working with the ISD #728 tennis team with a request for the City to enter into a partnership with ISD #728 to resurface the tennis courts at VandenBerg Middle School. Dr.Jensen, Superintendent, submitted the attached memo regarding the preliminary cost as well as the pledge of monies from the Elk River Tennis Association and the District. The Commission should note that there is an error in Dr. Jensen's memo in that the City has not yet agreed to complete and pay for the project, as the request before you is to consider completing the project on behalf of the School District with repayment of half of the project from the District at a later date. As the Commission is aware,the Capital Improvements Budget was established by the City Council in February of 2003. We attempted to amend the budget in April of 2003,however, the Council indicated that we were to live within the $200,000 approved for expenditures this year. The Commission is asked to: 1. Consider the request. Ms. Brown will be in attendance to provide additional information regarding costs and the need for the project. 2. Recommend whether the City Council should consider this request in the 2003 budget or if the project should be delayed one year and included in the 2004 Capital Improvements budget.
