Budget
The Commission went through the budget line-by-line and it was
agreed that the final budget amount to be recommended to the
City Council was the same as last year. There was discussion
with Jan Weisner about the accounting proceedure used on the
recreation programs and discussion will continue on this matter.
Fall Program
Pat Bush presented a preliminary fall program. Some minor ad-
justments were suggested and made. Pat encouraged everyone to
• call her if they have any suggestions for the fall program.
The fall program is going to be sent home from Falcon Heights
School in conjunction with the Community Education brochure.
Grove Park
Connie Lass r reported that she visited the Grove Park on Sunday,
August 16, in the evening and that water from the previous night's
rain was in two puddles in the park area. Also, water was in
the 1666 Coffman holding pond. The grassy area of the park is
quite rocky. Some of the newly planted trees have died and should
be re-planted. Jan Wiesner said she would check into regrading
the field with the contractor and would also check the holding
pond area. V
Community Park
The Commission was told that. the bid for arreation of tYe Community
Park playing fields was very expensive. The City Office will
check into renting the necessary equipment.
Piano
The piano that was purchased by the City has some problems that
make it unacceptable in it's present condition. It is dirty, out
of tune and missing a front panel. Pat Bush is going to talk to
• Schmitt Music about remeding these problems. Schmitt Music has
not been paid and won't be until this matter is satisfactorily
resolved.
