INTRODUCTION
City Council is asked to adopt Resolution No. 6225, A Resolution of the City of
Shakopee, Minnesota, accepting a donation of fire treated lumber and materials for the
construction of a permanent stage and performance area in the teen center facilty from
Siwek Lumber and Millwork, Inc.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The teen center facility has been utilizing a temporary stage system borrowed from the
Shakopee Jaycees during its first year of operation. The regularity of events that
required stage use deemed it appropriate for staff to explore the possibility of installing a
permanent stage.
During the research process, a local teenager mentioned that her dad may be able to
help us out with lumber ordering and cost. Contact was made with Dave Siwek, of
Siwek Lumber and Millwork, Inc. Dave helped to draft a stage plan through Behr
Drafting and a materials list was put together. The stage required fire treated lumber,
which has a considerably higher cost than normal lumber.
Siwek Lumber and Millwork, Inc. recognized the budget constraints of the teen center
and wanted to help out a facility that provided positive opportunities for teens. Dave
Siwek and Siwek Lumber and Millwork, Inc. offered to donate a large portion of the
lumber cost, estimated at approximately $1500.
REQUESTED ACTION
If City Council concurs, it should, by motion offer Resolution No. 6225, A Resolution of
the City of Shakopee, Minnesota, Accepting a Donation offire treated lumber and
materials from Siwek Lumber and Millwork, Inc., and move its adoption.
