Klose, from the American Legion, wanted to know about the rifle chub building if it was
going to be usable. The American Legion has youth shooting sports players and they

2. Tennis Courts.
The park board wanted to remove the tennis courts next to the public pools. Kurt brought
up that it is more than just removing the concrete. The grass will need to be planted and a
sprinkler system will need to be installed. It would need to be budgeted and allowed by
the mayor. Kurt brought up that some people use it during the 4th of July fireworks to set
up their chairs.
3. Discuss levy for Parks.
It was thought that the public would not support a Levy for Park Maintenance. They
ended up talking about doing a Park Master Plan for the whole city, including all the
parks.
