TERRY FINK FROM SOFT BALL ASSOCIATION: Wants to cover ditch in
soft ball complex. Curt McKenzie said four 90" pipes would be
needed. John MacMartin suggested moving the ditch as an alterna-
tive. About 300 feet needed. Jim Straw explained that the county
does not levy money for parks but acquires land by dedication
from subdivision. A county park dedication becomes city responsibility
when annexed by the City. John MacMartin said first step is to
seek legal jurisdiction to pipe the ditch. Discussion of defunct
Nutting Drain. Question by Terry Fink about culverts to Jim Straw
deferred by Straw to Curt McKenzie for planning because of proxi-
mity of complex to city. Needs fill dirt.
QUESSENBERRY: Petition for addition to city noted. Curt McKenzie
explained that an SID would be necessary plus estimate from an
engineering firm.
PARKS: Discussion about park fund monies held by county. Could
that money be withdrawn and put out at interest for benefit of
the park fund? John MacMartin will check about integrity of fund
if transferred back to city jurisdiction.
Possibly at next meeting John MacMartin will have a progress
report on our park plans.

SIGNS: Mood of meeting switched to sign ordinance. John Mac -
Martin says he will monitor Billings and progress with their
newly proposed sign ordinance.
SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS: Chapter 18.24 is recommended for deletion
(Overall Design Plan).
Chapter 18.48 (Parks), subsection .010 C needs amendment
to state that this board has a different procedure.
John MacMartin recommends we have a public hearing to amend
same. Members of board requested to read Chapters 18.24 and 18.48
