COMXLINICATION
Written Requests
A. Jackie reviewed status of Beer Drinking Permit at Parks. She distributed
a form which she developed after speaking with Mayor Salentine and Lt. John-
son of the Police Department. The purpose of the form would be to allow
the recreation supervisor to okay permit requests without specifically coming
to the Board. There have been problems because the Board may not meet until
after the date of the request. JoAnn Kehl moved to give Jackie St. Mary
the authority to make decisions regarding the beer permits in the parks.
In her absence, Pete Theis would assume this responsibility. Motion
carried, 5 to 0. Jackie St. Mary will make a decision concerning the
requests for beer permits by the Little Muskego Anglers Club and the Cor-
vette Club.
B. Regarding request to re-line tennis courts and basketball court at Kurth
Park: Richard Manchester suggested that Pete Theis be contacted about
re-lining the tennis and basketball courts. This appears to be a regular
maintenance function of the Parks Department.
(Dick Arrowood arrived and chaired the rest of the meeting.)
C. The next point of discussion regarded a neighbor's concern with the selling
of beer at Land O'Lakes games. The party has complained that players were
hanging around after games and then speeding out of Horn Field. It appears
that this problem has been alleviated or controlled at this point.
Jackie St. Mary recommended that the Board consider possibly putting a time
limit on the selling of beer at the Land O'Lakes games next season.
