Action Requested
Adopt,by motion,a resolution acknowledging a donation of$1,800 to the Parks and Recreation
Department from the Elk River Lions Club for a bench memorial at Bailey Point Nature Preserve.
Background/Discussion
Staff has been working with Harold Gramstad from the Elk River Lions Club on a bench memorial in
honor of Neil Anderson for the Bailey Point Nature Preserve.
The memorial was presented and recommended at the October 8, 2014, Parks and Recreation
Commission meeting. The location and construction, agreed upon by staff,the Commission and the
Lions Club,is next to the newly-paved path entrance near the parking lot. It will have a view of the
Mississippi River in the distance. The bench will be the same vendor, style and color as the Rotary
benches. A picture of the recently-installed Rotary memorial is attached.
The expected life cycle of this donation is 10-years and the Lions have agreed to maintain the bench
memorial during its life cycle and beyond. Construction of the bench memorial should begin in early
November with installation of the bench to be a few weeks later,pending weather.
Financial Impact
The donation of$1,800 will be the actual cash value of one bench with a plaque and city labor cost
related to installation. The cost for construction of the foundation and pavers for the bench will be paid
for by the Lions Club through in-kind donations of materials and labor.
