APPROVAL OF MINUTES

Motion carried unanimously.
FOOTBALL FIELD UPDATE
Commissioner Jurgens called staff before the meeting stating he was in Chicago
waiting to return and would not make the meeting.
Chairman Schmid said he had talked with John Mattox who said they would try to
volunteer approximately $300 towards the sod, and manpower to level the black
dirt and lay the sod.
Staff spoke with Jim Pederson, who said that unless either the existing dirt
was removed or dirt and sod were laid on the field, he would not let his teams
play on the field. He felt if it was seeded there would be a possibility of
rocks working to the surface and causing bodily injury to one of his players.
Commissioner Laberee said the area to be corrected measures 90 x 36 yards, which
is 3,340 square yards. At approximately $1.00 a sq. yard this totals $3,340 for
sod. He will get estimates in two parts:
1. Picking rocks, 2" friable loam, and sod
2. 2" friable loam and sodding
The City Attorney's opinion, issued to the Council, was that the dirt received
did not meet the requirements that the Council approved on May 12, 1986.
The Park Commission wished to inform the Council, regarding Administrator Vogt's
letter to Aspen Excavating, Inc. dated July 14, 1986, that they are in full
agreement with the contents of the letter. They feel the City should not be
responsible for the material delivered as it did not meet the requirements of
pulverized dirt from Aspen, including delivery at a cost of 10 yards for $60,
or $1200, as quoted in the June 2, 1986 Park Commission minutes
