TO: City Council
FROM: Tom Presny, Parks Director
SUBJECT: Donation by Janesville Conservation Club, Inc.
Since 1942 the Janesville Conservation Club, Inc. has leased 17 acres at
LaPrairie Park from the City of Janesville for member trap shooting. This facility
is located on Read Road on Janesville’s southwest side. Their current lease
th
agreement expires in May of 2014. In appreciation of their 70 year of shooting
and the 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
$1,000 along with sharing a few brief comments. Conservation Club donations
over the years total $25,144, which have been used to purchase support
materials for the Parks Division, including a boat and motor, motorized utility cart,
shade tree plantings, boat launch improvements and most recently an enclosed
volunteer tools trailer with a wide variety of tools for volunteers in order to
complete clean up and community service projects.
The Janesville Parks Division thanks the Conservation Club for their generosity
over the years, for providing firearms safety and training, and for providing
community residents with the opportunity to participate in a unique recreational
sport.
