The R.Y.A.A., Community School, <br />Hockey Association, Saddle Club and the Lions Club were all represented. <br />Mayor Gamec made a short presentation on the background and financial <br />aspects of the proposed recreation bond. Almost all remarked at the low <br />monthly estimated cost per household for a $800,000 - $900,000 bond. <br />Following this presentation an excellent exchange of ideas took place be- <br />tween the various groups and the Park Board. There were many general com- <br />ments concerning cost of items, location of the various park activities, <br />number of fields needed and etc. The following recommendations resulted from <br />these discussions and comments: <br />1) Install another hockey rink. <br />2) Make sure warming house dimensions are adequate (40 x 70) <br />3) If cost is possible, grade, install underground water <br />system and seed area involved in Phase II construction. <br />The open space is needed for playing areas and would re- <br />sult in a much more finished looking park. <br />4) Hold a special election at a later date so adequate <br />preparation of the brochure and education of the citizens <br />can take place. <br />All were enthused with the proposed park and want to be kept informed of <br />future developments. <br />Meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Dennis Donovan, Chairman <br />
