Park Boa Meeting <br />' Sept. 2, 970 <br />4 <br />Park hockey. area. Barnhill seconded. <br />Weissman asked where the money would come from to pay the additional <br />cost. It was stated the request would be in the form of a change <br />order to the project and funds would be charged against the bond <br />issue. <br />Motion failed - 2 ayes - (Barnhill,Smith) <br />4 Hayes - (Dahl, Hagemeyer, Sherlock, Weissman) <br />Abstained (Gunderman) <br />A statistical report on the summer program was presented to the Board. <br />Concern was expressed over the amount of vandalism at Foss Road Park, <br />It was requested that a letter be written to Mr. Arthur Dickey, park <br />building architect, expressing disappointment with the removable walls <br />on the buildings. It appeared that this was the cause of the increase <br />in property destruction. The suggestion was made to publicize the <br />amount of vandalism to increase public awareness. However, the feeling <br />among Board members was that this would only encourage others while <br />indicting a lot of innocent park-goers. <br />Barnhill questioned the reason for the decrease in the number of <br />rescues required at the beach despite the greatly increased attendance. <br />This was attributed to tighter control of floating devices and the <br />addition of a loud speaker as a discipline aid_ <br />The meeting was adjourned at 9:30 p.m. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Robert M. Wicklund <br />Director of Parks and Recreation <br />
