Motion carried. <br /> NEW <br /> BUSINESS SPOONER PARK RE-GRADING REQUEST BY CANADIAN DAYS <br /> Sanders said the Canadian Days committee has requested the Spooner Park land south of the <br /> pavilion be graded by extending the rise to have a flatter area for the carnival for the <br /> Canadian Days festival. Sanders stated this grading could be done without detracting from <br /> the park and without degrading the appearance of the park's beauty. <br /> There was a discussion as to how much area this would entail to be graded. Lynda <br /> Beaudoin, Canadian Days board member, was in attendance and stated Joe Gillis, the <br /> Canadian Days member who chairs the set-up committee, has made the request for the <br /> grading. Beaudoin stated the car show event has expanded from previous years and is <br /> requiring more land, not allowing the carnival area to expand. <br /> Sullivan said many families rent Spooner Park throughout the summer and thought it would <br /> benefit to have a larger flat play field area south of the pavilion. <br /> Page 1 of 3 <br /> <br />
