Page -2- June 21 , 1976 }" Mr. Ringaman noted that the new ballfield looks terrible. Benches were installed, the wire is rusted and had been rejected for ball fields last year. H r. Schneider said he tried to contact Mr. Ferrance but he had not returned his calls. Mr. Ringaman noted there were traffic problems due to this new ball field and the police had been called. Mr. Scherer noted that if this ball club has abused its privilege the privilege should be revoked. Mr. Ringaman agreed. Mr. Scherer noted the warning from the police did not help. Mr. Resch suggested sending Mr. Ferrance a letter with a time limit to get the back stop up. Mr. Ringaman noted that the garbage cans had been emptied but there still was some broken glass. Mr. Schneider said Mr. Volk had mentioned to him about a contract trash pick up service. This service would cost $20.00 monthly with a once a week pick up. Mr. Scherer asked who would pay this expense? Parks? Mr. Resch asked what happened to the satellite suggestion. Nobody knew. Mr. Ringaman noted other area residents use our ballfields but our resid- ents use neighboring parks too. He feels we are sharing with other comm- unities. Mr. Schneider felt the question of who uses the parks was direct- ed more toward the hockey rinks not ballfields. Mr. Ringaman felt our ballfields were not of the quality for tournaments but people are grateful we have them. Mr. Schneider felt this was a matter of opinion. There was discussion about using the warming house rest rooms. Mr. Resch noted there was the problem of who will lock up after the games. Mr. Karth noted the police could do this on their 9:00 P.H. round. Mr. Ringaman noted the parking situation at Sunrise was good except as al- ready noted at the new ball diamond. Mr. Gredvig feht the new ball diamond was to close to the road and he felt the stakes that are in should be pulled up and the kids could use the lot. Mr. Ringaman would like it left for open space play area. 11r. Resch asked for a recommendation on what to do with the new ballfield. Mr. Scherer asked what would be more expensive, let it be or tear it apart. Mr. Gredvig moved to recommend to the Council that'they direct Mr. Volk to clear the new ballfield (S.W. diamond) and that Per. Ferrance be notified by letter that the City Council will be considering this recommendation at the June 28, 1976 Council meeting. Seconded by Mr. Ringaman. Motion carried unanimously. Lino Park Mr. Hanson checked Lino Park about two weeks ago and felt it looked better.
