Study of usage of Idle Isle Park by the Waterbug Ski Club. The
purpose of this committee meeting was to review the policies established
last year and review the Club's request for additional dates for 1984.
The committee studied three options for the Waterbug's use:
Option One: To defer action until the Waterbug Ski Club pays for the buoy
that was damaged in 1982; and, also, provide proof of insurance.
In addition, the pier to be placed on Idle Isle is to be put in
the sane spot as last year, and is to be checked and approved by
Peter Theis.
Option Two: To deny them use of Idle Isle Park for shows (putting
in pier, removal of swimming area and special parking privileges).

lines as established in the agreement in 1983.
The following includes these three options:
