Page -2- October 16, 1978 X0 the draft to the November W, 1978 meeting for final approval . Mr. Zelinka said he would '``ake a list of ideas that could be included in the resolution. There was discussion on the problem of the Park Board meeting on the 3rd Monday of each month and the Council Liason being unable to report Park board action to the Council un- til the tad Monday of the following month. Mr. Scherer suggested that the Park Board meet on the first Monday of the month. Mr. Zelinka said this could be done. Mr. Resch said the Council is looking for a motion from the Park Board for the City to use from $4,000 to b6,000 of the Park dedicated funds in the construction of a warming house in the new public works building. He asked if there were any construction plans. Mr. Zelinka said he had seen a rough draft but not any final plans. He described the rough draft. Mr. Zelinka said he had received some static from the Council regarding the idea of re- quiring this money to be returned to the Park dedicated funds when the area is no longer used as a warming house. Mrs. Liljedahl felt the warming house would have to be used about 10 years if the Park were to get its moneys worth . Mr. Crouse also noted that it would probably not take a whole lot more than this amount to build an independent warmeing house structure at this time. In 5 or 10 years the money needed to build a warming house may double. Why shouldn 't this Board look at building a separate warming house now. Mr. Zelinka explained that there still is not a set plan as to where this warming house will be located and also is there a need for this expense at this time?

Mr. Zelinka explained that upon the advice of the City Attorney e City Council rescinded their motion and dropped the matter.
