• MANOR PARK
- Replace basketball backboard.
- Repair cracks on basketball court.
Get cost estimate from Don on resurfacing basketball court.
- Sweep tennis court - covered with broken glass.
- Thin out trees and transplant in other places.
- Consider putting in a road along the south side of the park at some later date,
with parking lot by the tennis courts (this is incase the church would ever
decide we cannot use their parking lot).
- Consider putting in security lighting.
BUYING TREES
The City of Shorewood would like to know if the Park Commission would be interested in
buying the trees left over from their tree sale. The Park Commission is not intetested
in purchasing trees at this time because they want to develop their landscape plan first
and decide what trees they can use out of Cathcart and Freeman Park.

• BMX TRACK SCHEDULE
The Park Commission had discussed the BMX schedule at an earlier date and decided not
to limit the number of races as there were no complaints last year. A letter was
received from BMX stating that they would use the satellite at Freeman unless they
found out it was necessary to order one of their own, at which time they would order
one.
Jurgens moved, Vogel seconded, to recommend to Council that as long as the noise level
doesn't infringe upon the neighborhood everything will remain alright, but if the noise
level reaches a nuisance level, then the North Star BMX will either lower the level
immediately or cease operation. Motion carried unanimously.
