Mark McNeill, City Administrator
CITY OF SHAKOPEE
MEMORANDUM
FROM: Jamie Polley, Director of Parks, Recreation & Natural Resources
SUBJECT: 2010 Budget Improvement Package Extension
DATE: February 15, 2011
INTRODUCTION:
The Council is asked to extend the funding for the 2010 budget improvement package for
Community Center exterior improvements to 2011.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
During the 2010 budget process the City Council reviewed and approved a budget improvement
package to make improvements to the front of the Community Center. The improvements
included repairing the pillars and adding planters. The amount of funding that was allocated
was $20,000 to be paid utilizing the general fund. The project was put on hold when the City
decided to go to referendum for Community Center Improvements. In November the
referendum failed allowing the project to move forward. However due to the time of year and
the work to be completed, the exterior improvements could not be completed in 2010.
The pillars in front of the Community Center continue to deteriorate and are becoming
dangerous. In addition when the concrete was added to the entry way along with the water
infiltration project it was intended that the City would add planters to the concrete area.
Adding planters and fixing the pillars will assist in making the Community Center more inviting
to the community.
RELATIONSHIP TO VISIONING:
This supports Goal A, "Keep Shakopee a safe and healthy community, where residents can
pursue active and quality lifestyles."
ACTION REQUIRED:
If the Council concurs, direct staff to prepare a budget amendment to approve the funding for
the Community Center exterior improvements in the amount of $20,000 to be carried over
from the 2010 budget.
