A quorum (3 or more) present, the following action was taken
by the Committee:
We have received -.complaints over the proposed charging
of a $10 reservation fee for the shelter in Thomson Park.
People have pointed out that the shelter was built with
donations and we should not charge a re'Ulral fee- They suggest
we wait until the shelter is up and see if any problems arise
and then address them. A majority of the Park Committee feel
a fee should be charged primarily as a means of control over
reservations. What does the Council fee? The committee also
recommends that there be no open burning (barbecuing) in the
shelter. A more complete list of regulations will be compiled
at a later date.
Jim gave an update on the shelter progress. Roof beams
have been ordered and decking will be ordered locally.
It is expected that local contractors will bid on the new
concess stand/bathroom building in Thomson Park. The contract
has been divided into three sections, footings and slab,
block.-walls, interior framing and roof.
Motion by Darrell McGillen, seconded by Bob Strand that we
allow the American Legion Baseball team to move-the batting
tunnel to the north of its present location in the area outside
the fence, the east end of Athletic Field. Motion carried.
Permission has already been granted to allow the legion
team to install a-scoreboard in the right center field in
Athletic Field. The Committee had requested that the Legion
group send a letter stating the-City would not be responsible
for vandalism or upkeep of the sign. That letter is attached
to these minutes.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:45 p.m.
Respectively submitted,
Donna Kilpatrick
