AUGUST 18, 1975 <br /> -6- <br /> LA MOTTE PARK <br /> Mr. Volk has visited the site as has Mrs. Brisson. Both felt that <br /> there was too much work to be done there to put in even a temporary <br /> bald diamond this year. It needs to be graded and outlined, for a <br /> ball field. The weeds need mowing and a general upgrade of the area <br /> would have to be made before it would be suitable for use as a park. <br /> This matter will be discussed further at the budget meeting in <br /> September and put into the plans for 1976. <br /> Mr. McLean asked about the possibIl•ility of putting a gate in at <br /> Lino Park. <br /> Mr. Volks said there was a gate there but it needed to be pulled up <br /> better in the center. He feels that cable could be strung from corner <br /> to corner the same as at Sunrise Park. <br /> Mr. Hanson asked about how much cable would be needed. <br /> Mr. Volk said about 20' at Lino Park and about 30' at the Hall Park <br /> should do it. <br /> Mr. Hanson said that he had some old well drilling cable about <br /> 3/8" or Z" and that he would donate it to the City. Mr. Volk <br /> is to contact Mr. Hanson soietime this week and make arrangements <br /> to pick up the cable that he will be needing and return the excess <br /> to Mr. Hanson. <br /> Mr; McLean asked if the winter equipment was ready to go. The broom, <br /> tractor, etc. <br /> Mr. Volk said that the trouble with the broom that has been experienced <br /> all along has been with the U Joints and that we are still having problems <br /> with that. He would like to requisition a couple of complete sets of <br /> U Joints to have on hand. The way they are to be placed in the unit <br /> causes a lot of wear and consequently theyhave to be replaced often. <br /> There has been a problem with the bushings on the snow blower but this <br /> year he intends to purchase some good quality Molly Grease and that <br /> should cut down if not eliminate the problems. <br /> The tractor-is in 'fine condi Pon. • The clutch wlient out on the 1969 Cub <br /> and has been replaced. The newer Cub caused some problems this spring <br /> but they have been fixed and a maintenance schedule would be set up <br /> and adhered to In order to eliminate further problems with this Cub. <br /> Mr. Volk said that the rotary mower was going about 40 hours per week <br /> this summer but it has been working excellently and he plans to do <br /> some work on the sidewalls this winter. They are getting rather thin <br /> and need to be replaced. <br />
