r <br /> Committee Itegort <br /> rk. , Zerreation, Cultural 'Arts an4 ftartaintittnt committee <br /> The June 23, 2003 meeting of the Parks, Recreation, Cultural Arts and Entertainment Committee <br /> was called to order by its Chairperson, Council Member Sean Coleman at 3:25 p.m. in the <br /> Council Informal Meeting Room. <br /> Persons in attendance included Council Members Aranowski, Pfeifer, White, Coleman, Kelly, <br /> Kuspa, Kirsits and King; Director of Public Works Gary Gilot, Beverly Lynch, Terry Bland of <br /> the &Mb VIZUTI lrafi= and Council Attorney Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand. <br /> Council Member Coleman noted that the first item on the agenda was to review Substitute Bill No. <br /> 43-03 which would appropriate up to $1,000,000 from the city's Economic Development State <br /> Grant Fund, Fund 210 to be used by the Department of Public Works to fund environmental <br /> remediation activities at the Fredrickson Park site. <br /> Director of Public Works, Gary Gilot, made the presentation. Mr. Gilot noted that the funds are <br /> available through a loan from the Indiana Development Finance Authority in conjunction with the <br /> g <br /> p tY conjunction <br /> Department of Environmental Management. It will utilize the Brownfields Cleanup <br /> Revolving Loan Fund which was funded by EPA. Currently $ 789,000 is available, with the <br /> remaining $210,100 being available later this summer. 80% of the loan will be required to be <br /> repaid if the identified goals are reached. Mr. Gilot noted that the substitute bill was required since <br /> the wrong fund number was listed in the title (ie Fund 210 is correct instead of Fund 410). <br /> Mr. Gilot commended Council Member King for his ongoing leadership on this project. <br /> Following discussion, Council Member Aranowski made a motion, seconded by Council Member <br /> King that Substitute Bill No. 43-03 be recommended favorably to Council. The motion passed. <br /> Council Member Coleman noted that on July 14th he will hold a Committee meeting to receive a <br /> presentation on the 21st Century Parks Initiative. <br /> Council Member Pfeifer hoped that the tennis courts at Muessel would be addressed. <br /> There being no further business to come before the Committee, Council Member Coleman <br /> adjourned the meeting at 3:29 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Council Member Sean Coleman, Chairperson <br /> Parks,Recreation, Cultural Arts and Entertainment Committee <br /> KCF:kmf <br /> Attachments <br />
