Mayor and City Council
Patrick D. Klaers, Cit~ministrator
November 16, 1998
SUBJECT: Boys and Girls Club Update
Councilmember Thompson is the Chair of the Board of Directors of the Elk
River Boys and Girls Club. Mayor Duitsman is also on the board. The Lions
Club is working with this organization on the construction of a facility in
Lions Park. The Boys and Girls Club is moving forward with its fund raising
efforts in order to provide money for the construction of the facility and the
operation of the club during the first year.
The draft ground lease agreement between the city and the Boys and Girls
Club has been distributed and is under review~ Winter is quickly
approaching and at this time I am not sure if the plans of the Boys and Girls
Club are to move forward with the construction as soon as possible or to wait
until spring. Conditions of the May, 1998, CUP still need to be met before
construction can begin.
Councilmember Thompson and/or Mayor Duitsman will be in attendance at
this meeting and should be able to provide everyone with an update on the
progress that is being made with this project.
