MEMO <br /> DATE : July 23, 1999 <br /> TO : Honorable Mayor and CounciUPark and Recreation Committee <br /> FROM : Jim March <br /> RE : MS Funds for Acorn Creek Playground Equipment <br /> *****��*�***�*�***�:*********���***��**�**�*�*�*�****�*�***� <br /> I have been in contact with Sharon Deziel from the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Sharon mentioned <br /> that the City has approximately $12,000 in our account that needs to be used preferably by year's <br /> end. The dollars are from the charitable gambling that occurs at Kelly's Korner. <br /> I suggest that the funds be used to offset a portion of the match required from the park dedication <br /> funds to be used to secure the $45,000 grant from the Minnesota DNR. As you lcnow, the ' <br /> majority of the grant dollars are going to be used to purchase accessible playground equipment in � <br /> Acorn Creek Park. � <br /> It is sometimes dii�icult to find eligible projects in which to expend the charitable gambling funds. <br /> Ms. Deziel thought the playground equipment purchase would be an eXCellent use of the funds. I <br /> want to gain approval on this issue from the park and recreation committee as well. The less park <br /> dedication funds we need to use to match the DNR grant, the more funds we will have to expend � <br /> in other parks for other uses. <br />
