The ftont door to the <br /> club house has been evaluated and is in fairly good condition outside of some glass that needs to be <br /> replaced. <br /> Anderson asked if Struve got in contact with the lady that offered to help with the blog. <br /> Struve indicated he has not been in contact with her at this time and that they are looking at different <br /> options. <br /> Anderson commented that would be a good opportunity to create a better blog and perhaps include some <br /> graphics that would help marketing-wise. <br /> Struve reported the City was approved for a grant for Bederwood from Hennepin County. Last fall the <br /> City Council had authorized pursuing a grant but the City was not approved to receive a grant at that time. <br /> Struve indicated he did reapply far a different grant with Hennepin County this year and the City has been <br /> approved to receive $7,500 for new equipment at Bederwood. Struve indicated he will be meeting with <br /> an equipment supplier later this week or next week to get a cost estimate. Struve stated he will bring that <br /> additional information to the Council at a future meeting. <br /> Levang asked what the plans are for the current equipment. <br /> Struve indicated that would be removed and disposed of by the company that does the new work. In the <br /> past the City has explored donating different equipment but it did not gain any traction. <br /> Page 18 of 21 <br />
