Policy/Action Requested:
Offer Resolution No. 7892, A Resolution of the City of Shakopee, MN Accepting A Donation of $1000 for the Shakopee Fun For All Playground.
Recommendation:
Recommend accepting the donations and the grant for the Fun For All Inclusive Playground to fund the completion of the playground donor wall.
Discussion:

On March 2, 2016 the City Council approved the concept of an inclusive playground at Lions Park and authorized the fundraising efforts of the Fun For All Task Force. Task Force members have applied for grants as well as met with local business owners, corporations and various organizations seeking donations.

 

Many generous donators have come forward in many ways and the park was mostly completed in October of 2016. The remaining component is the donor wall that will list all of the major donators. Per city requirements for donations, any monetary donation of $1000 or more needs to be accepted by two-thirds vote of the City Council. The City has received a donation of $1000 from a Duke Realty Services, LP who is a wonderful supporter of the community.

Budget Impact:
The donation of $1000 will assist the city to complete the donor wall at the entrance to the playground.
