MEMO DATE: TO: FROM: RE: April 16, 2003 Honorable Mayor and Council Members Mary Capra LaMotte Park ,...................................................................................., Background: I am requesting this item be added to the agenda for discussion in an effort to determine the councils desire regarding maintenance needs and potential upgrades to this park. Previously the council discussed several different options and ideas regarding LaMotte Park. This discussion began one year ago with the previous council and continues with the current council, Park and Recreation Committee and the Centerville Lions Organization. We are fast approaching the time of the year when construction and maintenance projects could be completed. The warming house has maintenance needs that should have been addressed last year. I personally would like to know if it is the councils desire to have the maintenance of a new roof completed, while waiting for a plan or design on potential expansion. If the councils desire is to wait do we want to install a deadline for potential plans for LaMotte Park? I would also like to know if the council would desire to direct the park and recreation committee to investigate the potential of adding a covered, open sided picnic pavilion to the park area prior to the Fete Des Lacs this year. Other than the small overhang on the warming house there isn't any area of shad in the park. The approximate cost last year ranged from $5,000.00 for one section A frame structure to $10,000.00 for a three sections A frame structure. This price does not include a concrete floor or picnic tables. Actions for Consideration: . Set a deadline for park plans to be completed and wait on replacing the roof on the warming house. . Investigate cost of replacing the roof on the warming house and move forward with this project. . Direct the Park and Recreation Committee to investigate constructing an A frame structure within the park this summer.
