Motion by Gay Easton, seconded by Emelie Eaton, to permit the
Herbstfest Board of Directors to use Athletic Field to run a
miniature train around the inside of the fenced area. Motion
carried.
Jim will direct the placement of the track so as not to interfere
with the sprinkler heads in the area. Perkins checked earlier with
the Legion and Little League personnel and during that time of year
there is no conflict with their programs.
Motion by Emelie Eaton, seconded by Gay Easton, to permit the
Herbstfest to use the graveled area west of Athletic Field between
the swimming pool and Eighth Street to have a 8-mule pack team with
two horses. The animals would be there during the day only. The
U.S. Forest Service will be providing the animals and will have
demonstrations for packing animals as well as what they use the
pack animals for during fires. The Herbstfest will be September
25th and 26th. Motion carried.
Permission was granted to move the underground water line further
into Firemen's Park because the present location is too 'close to
the hedge. Also, the line is leaking in the far southeast portion
of the line and that will be replaced. The City will trench the
area and the garden club members will furnish the needed portion of
the water line.
The Club is still bothered with finding dog feces near their garden
area and would like the sign placed in the park encouraging people
to pick up after their animals. They suggested providing a dog run
area like those provided in rest areas in the state.
There is interest by one group to improve the South Pond Park by
placing a pump in the pond and providing trees and shrubbery for
the area.

the contract for the running of the concession stand with the
Laurel Little League and the American Legion Baseball team. Motion
carried.
The swimming pool and recreation programs are about on schedule in
reference to those seasons beginning. All lifeguards from last
year have applied again this year. Ann Easton is the Recreation
Director and is setting up the various activities that will be
offered. She will attend the next Park meeting which is set for
May 13th.
