P. IO <br /> <br />Commissioner Olds inquired if any of the park buildings have been burned in the City. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler replied that there have been some problems at <br />Central Park, but no problems with buildings being burned. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook stated that most kids would burn a portable toilet, but most won't mess with a <br />building. <br /> <br />Director of Public Works/Fire Chief Kapler stated that they could use different materials that <br />would be more fire resistant. <br /> <br />Chairperson Cook stated that he would be willing to meet with the Council to describe the pit <br />latrines. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos noted that the other project discussed was Elmcrest Park. The <br />Council tabled action until the T.H. #47 access is secured <br /> <br />Commissioner Johns requested that staff verify the grant deadline that the City received for <br />Elmcrest Park. <br /> <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor Boos noted that he received a request from Sue Brown, 7500 159th <br />Lane requesting that Titterud Park be upgraded, including a bike path from Jasper Street to the <br />playground equipment.
