FREEMAN PARR UPDATE
The Commission discussed Freeman Park - who pays for work done wrong?
Why did they use "highway specs" instead of "ballfield specs "? What
about filling of the outfield? Why does it fluctuate from less than
an inch on one side of the field to more than 5' on the other side of
the field?
Christensen moved, Vogel seconded, to recommend to Council that George
Haun should be contracted to manage the project if it is not
satisfactorily completed by July 1, 1989. Motion carried - 6/0.
CHANGE OF PARR COMMISSION MEETING NIGHTS AND DATES
Andrus moved, Vogel seconded, that in June the Commission meet on Tuesday,
June 27th, the 4th Tuesday in June. In July and August they will meet on
the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays of the month. Starting in September the Commission
will meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays.
During the time they are meeting on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays, the period
of time will be 13 days before the next Council meeting, they will
ask Liaison Gagne to bring any matter important enough to reach the
Council sooner to Council attention at the earlier meeting. Motion
carried - 6/0.
The reason for the two changes is because some Commissioners already
have Wednesdays scheduled during summer months.
The Commission also discussed "Study session" meetings. They decided
regular meetings are what they want.
