DISCUSSION Madison Park Neighborhood Association is a community-based organization established in March of 1997. Its goals and objectives are to develop civic participation and unity within the neighborhood and to foster community pride. In addition, the association is committed to preserving neighborhood integrity through education, safety, conservation and restoration activities. To assist the neighborhood association in raising funds to advance its goals and objectives, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency proposes to grant the neighborhood association free use of the existing concession building located within Madison Park. The association will sell food and beverages out of the concession building during special events held by the association at the park, such as its annual Walk-a- Thon, Community Resource Fair and Concert and winter holiday celebration. The neighborhood's use of the building will not conflict with Northeast Little League's use during its regularly scheduled games and practices. The proceeds received from concessions by Madison Park Neighborhood Association will be used to support ongoing neighborhood improvement projects. 25J-1
