He has obtained a copy of the 2 section map from the Office and will show it to her. Mrs. La Fond still has some problems with the park users but not as much as last year and would still like a fence. Mr. Gredvig said nothing more has been done about park land in Country Lakes.

Mr. Gredvig said he would like to write up a one page survey and distribute it to the residents. Centennial Hockey Assn. - Mr. Don Schackle and Mr. Duane Nordin Mr. Schneider explained the reason the Park Board invited the Hockey Assn. to attend this evening is to begin preparation for'-the City budget. Mr. Schackle said the Assn. would like to see the lighting on both hockey rinks at Sunrise Park brought up to standard. The Assn. feels grading is necessary on both rinks and all boards repaired. The rinks should also be treated with weed killer, both rinks need repair as does both doors on the warming house. Mr. Schneider asked if the rinks and warming house were improved as requested, could the City anticipate volunteer help this coming season again. Mr. Schackle said he would ask this at the next Assn. meeting August 8, 1977. Mr. Schackle said he felt that the snowblower used for cleaning the rinks was a waste of money. What is needed is a good sweeper. Mr. Ringaman arrived at 8: 15 P.M. Mr. Schneider asked what the feeling is on the second rink. There is a question about the expense of the second rink.
