MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor & City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
Bruce Loney, Public Works Director
FROM: Michael Hullander, Public Works Superintendent
DATE: April 5, 2011
SUBJECT: Re- furbishing Lions Park Picnic Shelters 1 and 2.
INTRODUCTION:
The Park Maintenance Division identified a need in the Park Asset Fund to re- furbish
Shelter 2 at Lions Park. The work includes replacing the roof, fascia, soffits and new
cedar plywood for the underside of the trusses. Staff estimated $15,000.00 for this work.
DISCUSSION:
Park maintenance staff held a meeting with the Lions Club to inform them of the work
being proposed for the replacement of the roof along with other work to re- furbish
Shelter 2. At the meeting they were informed of our wishes to eliminate the asphalt
shingles and reversed mansard and replace with a colored steel roofing material. They
were very receptive to the idea but had two requests: 1. The color not be red. 2. We
consider replacing the roof at Shelter 1, as it now leaks, and is in need of replacement.
With the materials estimate we received, staff believes we can re- furbish Shelter 1 and 2
with the $15,000.00 we estimated in the Park Asset Fund.
The Lions Club was made aware that we only budgeted $15,000 for the project and is
willing to donate $2,500.00 out of the Lion's Club escrow account with the City to keep
us within budget. The Lions Club also volunteered to tear off the old roofs so we can
complete both shelters this year. Staff will bring a resolution to Council in the near
future to accept this donation and is currently working with the Club to make sure their
volunteers are insured.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Approve a motion directing staff to continue to work with the Lion's Club on re-
furbishing Shelter No. 1 & No. 2 at Lion's Park, with the funding of the project to
be expended from the Park Asset Fund.
2. Do not approve a motion to re- furbish Shelter No. 1 & No. 2 at Lion's Park at this
time.
3. Table for additional information.
S.C.3,
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends going forward with the re furbishing of Shelters 1 and 2 at Lions Park.
ACTION REQUESTED:
Move to direct staff to continue to work with the Lions Club on re- furbishing Shelters 1
and 2 at Lions Park, with the funding to be expended from the Park Asset Fund.
