One idea was of reducing the park amount and using the fonds to finish off part of the downstairs of City Hall for use by different clubs, meetings, etc. Another idea was a thoroughfare study for the City. City Administrator Schnelle showed the Council a map of the City streets and explained that down in years the City could have problems, m.e., fire protection, police protection. An amount of $10,000 for a thoroughfare study was mentioned and the Council felt that was too much and not necessary. The traffic pattern of the City was discussed. Councilman Reimannmentioned the possibility of buying more land around the City Hall. Councilman Gamec felt that the finishing of the downstairs could be done .with two rooms possible and a bathroom. Councilman Mickelson stated the Saddle Club has a concern for the horse arena on County Road #56. (This is located in the Titterud Park land and would either have to be relocated or made a part of the park.) The club has stated it makes no difference to them if they are there or somewhere else so long as they can have one. Councilman Mickelson felt that paying off the grader we were not gaining interestwise.
