PARR BOARD MEETING FEBRUARY 3, 1992 use and design are the right people to consult for administrative guidance. Marty Asleson explained that Jeff Schoenbauer is a parks and recreation planner and an architectural designer and that his staff has a cross reference of expertise. John Baumanm asked if the funding would come from dedicated funds. Yes, Marty will get the correct amount of the dedicated park fund balance for the next meeting. Mr. Asleson says that Mr. Schoenbauer is awaiting an answer and would like to hear as soon as possible. Ken Johnson says he would like to get input from the two board members who are absent tonight. Marty Asleson suggested he poll the board. When polled, Bill Nissen stated he's not sure if $2000. 00 is the right amount to spend on additional input, he says he could go either way at this time.
