put aside.
Motion "as made by Richard Manchester to have Pete Theis work with Chief
Scholz to take care of the Police Department landscaping. One option
discussed "as to hire two men part-time specifically for this job. The
monies for these employees would come out of the monies put aside for the
landscaping job. Karen Wesell seconded. Motion carried.
M. A. A. representative Mr. Udvare expressed concern over the condition
of Bluhm Park Complex. Will it be ready? Pete felt it would be.
Mr. James Lam, representing the Marlin Swim Club, expressed concern about
the cost per hour charged to the Marlins for pool use. The Board did not
reconsider the charge. It is at a break-even status no". The school
district bills the Parks and Recreation Department for time used in the
pool (They include the Marlins' time in this cost.). It was recommended
by the Board for Mr. Lamm to go to the Finance Committee to have the
chemical charge waived.
