Liaison Report
Soccer field is getting underway. Hopefully the landscaping will be done this
week. Bob will meet with Engineer to move the dirt around.
The council rejected the bid for the trail in Klinefelter Park. The bid was
X72,000. We will try to bid again in February for the trail. We have until
next fall to use the grant money.
The budget for 1997 was cut by $7,000 and as of now it is $18,000. We have
$11,287 left from 1995 and 1996 thus far.
Summer Recreation Program
Dave Heideman gave a report on the Summer Recreation Program. 200 children took
part in the program, a very good turnout. They had an end-of-year picnic and
about 250 people attended. Prizes were donated and thank you notes were sent.
They received donation of $400 from Legion and Jaycees. A suggestion was
made to have some of the ball games in the evening so parents could see their
children playing. They will look into this.
Marge made a motion to have Dave Heideman and his staff do the program next
year. The motion carried.
Because of the donation from Klinefelter's relative for park equipment, Marge
c,:ecked with Game Time to do a computer projection for that park in regard to
faasible equipment.
`:ew Business
Camping rules should be set for Millstream Park. John, Irma and Marge will
set up rules for camping.
Cloverdale Park was discussed: ideas were presented to dress up the park with
flowers, possibly a trellis to the entry, benches, all to enhance the esthetics
of the park.
~~embership: We could change the by-laws next year to add a person(s) (7-10)
oacause we are short a few members because of resignations.
