COMMISSION JULY 31, 1980 The Little Canada Park Counuission July 31, 1980 regular meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairman Carl Spooner at the City Center. Members present included Lois Runyon, Bill Sanders, Jim Morelan, Bev Scalze, Joe Donovan and Edith Schultz. Mrs. Scalze reported on Council action regarding Park fund distribu- tion, the St. Jude development and confirmation of the present formula for collection, and 36 month restriction. Bill Sanders reported Daly & Son's have committed to blacktopping the Park trail system after Canadian Days. Discussion followed regarding the Puppet.:Wagon and Play held at the Band Shelter. The concept uses the facility, but much greater publicity and diversification should be looked at for future planning. It was the recommendation of this body that the activity be pursued in the 1981 summer season. Jim Morelan reported that the Bocce Ball court had been completed, but the (Park) benches in the tennis court were not yet installed. Edith Schultz reported on the communication received from Paul Borg (Of the Roseville School's) denying the use of chain linked posts across school property, The matter will be discussed again with Mr. Borg, since it is the concensus that 5 or 6 ft. chain link fencing was not in keeping with the present eye appeal concept. Joe Donovan reported that there had been electrical vandalism to at least three units in the Park. Discussion then turned to the proposed five year plan for Parks, the possible locations for expansion and the need for constituency input. An information survey form will be prepared for review at the next meeting. The City Planner is available for consultation on the 4th Monday of each month.
