CITY OF SHAKOPEE
MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
From: Mark Themig
Meeting Date: November 3, 2004
Subject: Consideration of Setting Work Session
INTRODUCTION
City Council is asked to consider setting a work session to discuss several park and
recreation projects.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
As you know, we have several projects that are in various planning stages. Some of
these are nearing key decision points and have deadlines coming in the near future. The
projects include:
. Community Center: Awarding a contract for the feasibility study, market analysis,
cost estimates, and concept plan for the possible Community Center expansion.
. Quarry Reuse Project: Reviewing (1) a use agreement with the Prior Lake Water Ski
Association, and (2) a purchase agreement with Aggregate Industries.
. Park Land Acquisition: Considerations for land acquisition and funding options.
. 17'h Avenue sports Complex: Reviewing the support building design.
Ordinarily, I would recommend that we include these items as part of one of your regular
November Council meetings. However, it doesn't appear that we will be able to finalize
much of the information by the pa~ket deadline for your second meeting.
In order to continue progress on these projects in a timely manner, Council is asked to
consider setting a work session for 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, November 23. This would be the
day after a Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meeting where they would also be
reviewing some of these items. As an alternate, Council may want to consider Tuesday,
November 30th.
REQUESTED ACTION
If Council concurs, set a work session for 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, November 23 to discuss
park and recreation projects.
