Page 9 Tandeski suggested there could be a competition. Frischman thought there was a liability issue with the competition. Breuer stated she could look into it. There is not as much liability with the Tier 1. Meyer stated he wanted to thank all the residents for coming out tonight. He said he really wants to compliment the young people on coming. Mark and Tyler have great futures ahead of them. He applauded all the young people for being here. He encouraged adult residents to talk with the young people in the park. He talked to many of them. They were all willing to talk with him. Frischman stated they need to formulate some kind of recommendation to go to Council. Heinrich inquired if we will continue to allow bikers up there even though itis posted no bikers. The skateboarders said they did not have an issue with bikers being on the skateboard park. Tandeski said a young man on a bike was getting warmed up before going on the course which he said was up on County Road D and Old Hwy 8. Tandeski heard it is an unhealthy environment. The focus is the skateboard park. Do we want to continue to see the skateboard park at Freedom Park. Harreld felt we need to document things so we know if the effort put forth is successful. Some of the solutions have already been put in place and a problem solved. But we need to record these so we know when something is working. Samuelson stated we have been focusing mostly on the skateboard park, but it sounds like the entire park needs a good make -over. Norton stated most question whether removing the skateboard park would solve the problems in the park. We have the problem and the skateboard park but they are not necessarily the same issues It is just in the same location. Trevorrow, suggested that we keep the skateboard park. We would like to bring youth into it. Correct any safety issues. Revisit at the end of the season. Keep the dialogue open with the residents. Frischman stated Tyler mentioned several things one that the leaders would attend PREC meetings. That may be a good way to measure things, if they attend each meeting. We have behavior issues that need to be addressed. She did not feel it was necessary to hold another public hearing. Breuer stated it could be put on the November 4th or December 2nd agenda for discussion and you could decide later if you wanted to hold a public hearing. Breuer thanked Ray Tandeski for spearheading the meetings with the youth. Sandy would like to keep in touch with them and perhaps the residents and hold monthly meetings.
