>..• Park Board Minutes .Special Meeting J1ane 1Q, 1970 3 Mr. Moen replied that the design of the community center was not the question. A building to serve as a skating shelter was the immediate need, but the option to expand it into a community center should be available if future needs demand it. Mr. Dickey stated that flexibility would be a major feature of the community center design so that modifications during the several phases of construction could be made if community needs demanded such changes. Mr. Gunderman summed up the Board's feeling that the accelerated work schedule should go ahead with a completion goal of December 15. If a temporary shelter were to be needed, then the problem could be dealt with at that time. Seventh Street Park Association R~tfuests Judy Neumann, representing the Seventh Street Park Association, presented the following items to the Park Board. 1.

The hot weather and winds have created a dust problem for homes near .the park according to Mrs. Neumann. It is to the point of being a health hazard and she requests some action be taken to alleviate the dust. Oil coating was suggested. It was pointed out that the paving would not be completed for some time and that the Village has no equipment to water or oil .the area.
