Mr. McLean said that the black-topping was a project of the Lion's Club and that the funds are available but the contractor has not found the time to get down there and do it. The contractor also has stated that he feels he under-bid the job. Mr. McLean said that he would meeting with Mr. Ernie Zelinka and ask him to put some "pressure" on the contractor and perhaps come up with some more money for - ' .; and get the job done this year. Mr. Volk said that he had meet with Mr. Zelinka and will talk to him again this week. Mr. Zelinka indicated that he felt more class 5 is needed however Mr. Volk does not feel this is necessary. The parking area has been graded and staked by the Engineer and all that is necessary would be to mow the weeds. The B-B-Q has been moved and pinic table has been put at Lino Park. There will be a problem every year with the fields at Lino being wet n long after the other dry up but we will just have to learn to liy'e with that and make the best of it. SUNRISE PARK Mr. Volk said that he anticipates the hockey rinks should be completed this week, as far as the needed repairs go. The side boards are up and reinforced. The barn has been painted and the house. The trees have been trimmed and the mowing has been kept up with throughtout the summer. The Little League fields have had the ag time put down and they are in very good shape. Mr. Volk presented a request for a Rake with a grader blade that can be a-ttached to the Lo-Boy and would be a very useful piece of equipment. It will help with the ball fields and the hockey fields. The total cost, including shipping charges, would be approximately $550.00. 1 would like to see this in next year's budget. Mr. McGeary asked if this would require a three point hitch, Mr. Volk said it would not. n
