at the beach at Idle Isle Park, (3) and (4) tennis court rules and
regulations and Kurth Park and at the High School. C- Alcoholic beverages at softball games was discussed.
The question of enforcement or no enforcement was the main issue.
Mr. Pischke talked with the Police Chief and contacted Mr. Kreuser
in regards to the enforcement procedure. No enforcement can be
made, because the said the public was not violating the board's
policy. The board members felt the opposite of that ruling but also
felt the real concern was with the litter problem not the drinking
of beer.
Motion was moved and seconded for strong police
enforcement of littering in parks at all games.

a theft of two chairs belonging to a park attendant and Mrs. Krygier
