Consideration of Shelter at Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park There has been a suggestion/request for the committee to consider installing a covered shelter area with picnic tables, electrical outlets and a water fountain in the area of the ball fields. lbis could possibly be ajoint venture, with the Centerville Lions supplying some of the labor. CommUnity Impact Grants - Home Depot We received the following correspondence on August 15,2006 from Mr. Kurt Glaser, City Attorney, regarding the CommUnity Impact Grants from Home Depot: Sadly, Parks & Recreation does not qualify for the Home Depot Grant. While schools qualify for their grants, the City (when acting as Parks & Recreation) does not qualify. We are not a charitable organization under the IRS Code provision 501(c)3. A grant request would qualify only ifit was made by the School District (or in their name), or by some other civil group which truly qualifies under 501. Can we ask the School District to use their name? Would this grant benefit the School District? The committee, via email, opted not to pursue this grant. Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park Play Structure The mats and additional boxes of shredded rubber mulch have been delivered and installed. St. Paul Water Utility Property on Centerville Lake The City received notice from the DNR that the property at 1601 LaMotte Drive has been approved for a grant of $150,000. The house was scheduled to be demolitioned by October 16, 2006, but that is currently being put on hold while the ACCAP (Anoka County Community Action Program) reviews the possibility of moving the house. Mr. John Meyer, Finance Director and Mr. Paul Palzer, Public Works Director were out visiting the new park property and reviewing the work for the demolition of the house and garage and remembered that the storm sewer system at that driveway is not complete from the 2004 street improvements. An email was sent by Mr. Palzer to Mr. Mark Statz, City Engineer with the following questions: Do you have plans for the completion of the storm sewer system? Does it include a pond on the new park property or just some piping and a rain water garden type structure? Let me know if you have a plan and if this needs to be reviewed by the Rice Creek Watershed prior to completion of the work. More information should be available at the committee meeting. St. Genevieve's Drainaee Structure - Heritaee Street The drainage structure located in the City Right-of-Way off Heritage Street has been moved by St. Genevieve. While it is the same type of structure that appeared to be dangerous, the current plans are for the church to fence it from the trail easement. 20f3
