Yours Truly,

Pres. Dou$las Chapel A 1.
To tke Mayor and the City Council:
7170 Riverview Terrace N.E.
Minneapolis 32, Minnesota
August 22, 1963
Pursuant to the authority grarted the Chairman of the Parks and
Playground Su�-Committee to foilow through with the of£icials of
the``Douglas Chapel concerning a grant €rom that body to Lhe City
of`"Fridley for faciliCizs on t6e Loeke Park, I have the follo�7ing
repbrt Co make:
I met several times inEormally with Mr. Pahe G. Santoorjtan
concerning tlae proposal with the Dougias Chapel making a sub-
'stantial grant to the CiEy of Fridley. I sappliad Mr. Santootjian
`wi"th sketches of tfle proposed shelter Suilding. We gave them
'information concerning the estimated costs. We informed them
¢hat ehese were not legal bids. We discussed with them the pro-
'gosal 4f creating a fireplace in Che shel�er building. We gave
'then'an architect's sketch of how the fireplace might appear.
All'this information was transmitted to tham prior to the meet-
ing of their Boarti of Trur,te�s on August 14. We aubmitted a
"letter of invitatior, for kheu� to participate in the financing
of the cost of this stxuctuxe. On the date oE August 19, Mr.
Edward Ralph, Preaident of the Douglas Ghapel, nofiified me 3n
wr3ting, announcing that their Board of Tr*sstees had voted ta
pay Eor the estimated cost of the shelter $1i,525.Q0. They is-
dicated ehey would further canCribute a sum of $2,OOU.00'for
later improvementa. Thia later improvement is approsimately
a� amount equal to the constraction of a fireplace and,to pay
`toward the cnst o£ either (a) faci�ng the steel supporting beama
zai'th either brick or tile, or, (b) contributing towards the eost
o£ the fireplace, or the employment of an amount of wksat ciight_
be'1'eEt over after the acqui.ition of the materials to be used
at the dlacretion of the City in further improve�ent.
In view of the fact that the Parks and Playground Snb-Committe�.
had set a timetable of trying to get this installation completed
yet th3s sum�er, or early fa11, we would like to recommend to the
'Gounci'l appropriate aath�rization ta develop a well at the site
with prop2r specifications to insure Che park with adequate waCer
supplies in the future and ko provide water for the construction
'purposes yet this summer anJ fall.
We would like to recommend to the Council that we accept this
oEfer in a manner that will enable us to groceed with a minimua
time required (eliminat� the necessity of pnblic bidding for this
cohstruction -as practicable), and to authorize proper bod3es
� and%or officials to procae� with the development with a minimum
` of `delay.
