2. Riverside Plan with KLJ
● KLJ will present the plans next meeting, January 2, 2020. They had a base map
ready for this meeting. The board was wanting the plans to include taking down
all or most of the cottonwood trees.
● It was asked what the current work is on the Caretakers House and its tear down.
It was still in limbo about whether the city staff will tear it down or a hired
contractor. And, if there was asbestos in the building. Matt will go and get quotes
for teardown.
3. Leases
● The Little League and American Legion split up the lease for the Baseball field.
The Little League was not going to cover the concession stands anymore and the
American Legion will do the concessions stands. A lease agreement was already
reviewed by the City Council and will be voted on at the next City Council
meeting.
● It was asked about the Horse Shoe Club’s lease. It was thought they were done
but possibly missing a signature.
