MEMORANDUM

SUBJ: Approve Resolution Accepting Lake Ann Park Concession Stand
Donation from the Chanhassen Athletic Association, Hansen
Hometech, Milestone Builders and Remodelers, K2 Electric,
Excel Mechanical, and Home Depot
PROPOSED MOTION
The City Council approves a resolution accepting the donation of $21,200 in
improvements to the Lake Ann Park ball field concession stand from the
Chanhassen Athletic Association, Hansen Hometech, Milestone Builders and
Remodelers, K2 Electric, Excel Mechanical and Home Depot.
Approval requires a simple majority vote of the City Council.
BACKGROUND
The Lake Ann Park Ball Field Concession Stand was originally donated to the
city by the American Legion in 1988. At that time the Legion was sponsoring
softball tournaments. They purchased and installed the stand to accommodate
the serving of concessions during those tournaments.
In the ensuing years, the enclosed portion of the shelter grew smaller due to the
installation of various field lighting components and irrigation controls.
Eventually the space became inadequate for use as a concession stand. Event
sponsors utilized portable tents and tables to prepare and serve concessions.
Long term plans call for the existing structure to be razed, with the exception of
the utility room, making way for a new concession stand and covered shelter
featuring modern restroom facilities. However, the Chanhassen Athletic
Association and their Little League Baseball program led by Mr. Todd Neils had
a desire to invest in and make the current stand "usable" today. Working with
various city departments and a hostof community business and individual
volunteers, the association and city representatives put together a plan to
remodel the existing structure.

Steve Hansen with Hansen Hometech, Inc. accepted the volunteer position of
leading the construction efforts and drawing up plans. Mark Fischer, owner of
Milestone Builders and Remodelers worked tirelessly providing the necessary
framing, structural, siding and finish carpentry work free of charge. Mike
Krause, owner of K2 Electric donated the electrical and lighting fixtures and all
labor involved in their installation. Jeremy Scheuble of Excel Mechanical
discounted his plumbing work, and Home Depot Chaska discounted the building
materials.
The Chanhassen Athletic Association, acting as the project sponsor, purchased
materials and helped coordinate volunteer labor. They will continue to invest in
the structure, completing some final detail work over the next few months.
All totaled, this grass roots community -based volunteer effort invested over
$21,200 in the newly remodeled Lake Ann Park Ball Field Concession Stand!
The project benefits all by providing improved services to local and visiting
teams and spectators, increased community pride, and the ability to generate
significant local commerce through tournaments and events. The citizens and
businesses of Chanhassen are often noted for their willingness to give back to
their community; this special project is proof positive of that spirit.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the donation and present the
participants with an appreciation plaque under the visitor presentation portion of
tonight's agenda.
