SUBJ: 1989 Capital Improvement Program Budget Adjustment Request
IThe Park and Recreation Commission received a request to install
basketball hoops on the tennis courts at North Lotus Lake Park.
The Commission felt that such would increase the usage of the ten-
tnis court area and were in favor of the request until such time that
the 2 uses conflict, at which time the construction of a basket-
ball court will be necessary.
1 In a previous memo the Commission recommended that funds allo-
cated for the Bluff Creek access be used for Scott Dummer ' s
I $2 , 000 Eagle Scout Project. Similarly, they felt that the
remaining $8 , 000 should be reallocated so as to be available for
unbudgeted items such as the basketball hoops at North Lotus,
future Eagle Scout Projects , etc.
IIt is the recommendation of the Park and Recreation Commission to
reallocate the $10, 000 for the Bluff Creek access as follows :
I
$ 2 ,000 Scott Dummer ' s Eagle Scout Project
Is 1, 200 Basketball Equipment for North Lotus Lake Park
$ 6 , 800 Miscellaneous Future Unforeseen Requests
$10, 000
1 The motion carried unanimously.
Manager ' s Comment: This office interprets the above request as
I one which would specifically set a miscellaneous account through
which future recommendations for allocations could be considered.
Even though the budget amount would be set, each recommendation
I for specific usage of the funds would require City Council
action. Should the City Council act to approve this item, I
will take the position that my interpretation of the request will
Ibe required to be followed unless the Council modifies such.

Dear Lori,
' As per our phone conversation today this is a formal request
for a basketball court to be established at the North Lotus
' Lake Park. As we discussed, the minimum requirement for a
basketball court would be a pole, backboard, hoop and a net.
The actual basketball court would be the tennis courts
already in place. This shared court construction is already
' In place at a number of parks in Eden Prairie (e.g. Duck Lake
Park on Duck Lake Trail). I have attached a rough layout of
what it would look like for an installed court.
r _ If there is any concern of overcrowding on the 'shared'
court, rest assured that traffic at the tennis court is
' almost nonexistence, and the stamina of we "future first
round draft picks" is at the level of a coach potato,
i.e. so our games would be short.
' Finally, there is a number of us Fox Hollowians that would
volunteer our labor in the installation of the basketball
court.
iThank you for considering this proposal and I would
appreciate a response at your earliest convenience. Any
' questions please call.
Re rds
/John Schorgl
' P.S. What would you recommend for our team to be called, the
L.A. Lakers (Lotus Area) or the TimberFoxes?!
