TO: City Council
FROM: Tom Presny, Parks Director
SUBJECT: Donation by Janesville Conservation Club, Inc.
Since 1942 the Janesville Conservation Club, Inc. has leased the trap shooting
facility at La Prairie Park, which is located along Read Road on Janesville’s
southwest side. Their current lease agreement expires in May of 2014. In
appreciation of their ongoing ability to use the trap range the club historically has
made donations to the City of Janesville. These funds are generated from their
annual charity shooting event.
Club member Bill Boyd would like to present a check to the City in the amount of
$500 along with sharing a few brief comments. Conservation Club donations over
the years total $24,144, which have been used to purchase materials for the
Parks Division, including a boat and motor, utility cart, shade tree plantings, and
boat launch improvements.
The Janesville Parks Division thanks the Conservation Club for their generosity
over the years and their support for park-related activities.
